Does Broad PA Scope of Practice Impact Patient Safety & Malpractice? - Patient Engagement HIT Title: Does Broad PA Scope of Practice Impact Patient Safety & Malpractice? #Introduction Physician assistants (PAs) play a crucial role in healthcare delivery, but the scope of their practice varies from state to state. This variability raises concerns about patient safety and malpractice. #Scope of Practice The scope of practice for PAs includes diagnosing, treating, and prescribing medication under physician supervision. However, the extent of this supervision varies, impacting patient care. #Patient Safety Expanding the scope of practice for PAs can improve access to care but may also lead to concerns about patient safety. Proper training and supervision are essential to ensure high-quality care. #Malpractice Malpractice claims involving PAs are on the rise, highlighting ai.mediformatica.com #physician #medical #study #patientsafety #physicians #safety #regulation #advanced #engagement #physicianaistant #provider #digitalhealth #healthit #healthtech #healthcaretechnology @MediFormatica (https://buff.ly/3OQZUtI)

Today we shine a spotlight on Meghan Neely, RN, who is being recognized as a Bravo Award winner for providing Service Excellence as a patient advocate at UH Cleveland Medical Center. Through the Cliff Appreciates program, UH CEO Cliff A. Megerian, MD, FACS, Jane and Henry Meyer Chief Executive Officer Distinguished Chair, likes to recognize our non-physician caregivers who stand out for living the UH values with the Bravo Awards. Meghan is being lauded for providing Service Excellence and is being praised for providing exceptional follow-through with regard to a particular patient. In fact, throughout this process, the patient noted that she always approached every situation with an amazing attitude that included grace, optimism and understanding which left the patient feeling extremely grateful. The patient went on to say that “There are not enough words in the Webster’s Dictionary to heap upon her all the praise she deserves.” We decided to chat with Meghan to learn more about her and how she lives the UH values: How do you live the UH values? The UH values are at the core of patient advocacy. All patients are treated with the highest level of compassion. Following up and ensuring their concerns are addressed with integrity in order to provide service excellence builds trust. What is one thing that you wish people knew about your job? There are always many sides to every story. We investigate in order to figure out what happened and why the patient perceived the situation the way they did. How do you make things better for the people to whom you are providing care? Actively listening to patient concerns, following up and providing feedback when appropriate, helps patients reach a better understanding of their experiences. It also allows UH to have a better understanding of the patient’s perspective and improve our processes, which impacts all patients. What do you find most rewarding in your role? It is inspiring when follow-up from a patient concern results in process improvement, impacting the experience for all future patients and improving workflow for caregivers. Tell me about a particular patient experience that was memorable. There was a young patient with advanced cancer who required admission every few weeks for treatment. Her husband was very angry at their situation, at life, and with the world in general. He would call frequently when she was admitted. I think making him feel heard and me actively following up on his experience, concerns and suggestions made them feel acknowledged. What started as anger quickly transitioned into appreciation and constructive feedback with each call. I think of them often. #UHProud #greatplacetowork #caregiverspotlight #serviceexcellence

What do you consider "GREAT WORK"? This quote by Steve Jobs really had me thinking today. Ultimately, I'm glad I didn't just "settle" when I felt the urge to grow and change. Patients in the Emergency Department, Interventional Radiology and Cath Lab are almost always experiencing an emergency. Whether it be a heart attack, stroke, car accident, trauma, or whatever they may see as their emergency. I always loved my work and did it wholeheartedly for my patients. As time passed, nursing changed. We had less time, money, benefits, and more patients, responsibilities, and stress. I felt the love and attention I had given my patients was no longer sustainable. When I started to see so many incidents happen that were swept under the rug by the administration, I wanted out. I found a new way to support those patients. In a way, that means even more to me. I now search diligently through those charts to find the missing links in the care they received. These patients came to a hospital in a time of need and due to factors outside the patient's control, they were let down by the most trusted professionals. To me, doing great work is asking who, what, when, where, why, and how when I read through these cases. To put myself in the shoes of the providers. To close my eyes and truly understand what was going on in that hospital room. To identify each and every shortcoming to find justice for the patient. To hold the healthcare system responsible for their unwillingness to choose safety over profit.
