We’re committed to improving the lives of residents in our care homes, which is why we’ve continued to partner with VIVALDI. Between June 2020 and March 2023, we worked with University College London (UCL) researchers and the Department of Health and Social Care on a national research study called VIVALDI. The study investigated COVID-19 infections and the impact of the disease in care homes. The results of the study informed policy decisions around the best approach to testing and prevention of infections in care homes, helping to protect those living and working in care settings. Four Seasons and brighterkind care homes in England have now partnered with the VIVALDI Social Care Study which builds on the learnings of the original study and aims to reduce infections in care homes. VIVALDI’s mission is to improve the quality of life for people living, visiting, and working in care homes while reducing the risk of infections and avoiding hospital admissions. Jacqui Ritchie, Chief Operating Officer commented: “Following our partnership with VIVALDI during the pandemic, we are delighted to again be part of this important research study. Our help in this work to better understand infections in care homes is crucial to improve prevention and control, and the wellbeing of residents, their families and team members.” ➡️ Click the link in the comments to learn more. #vivaldi #vivaldistudy #partnership #socialcare #carehome #study

ICYMI: San Joaquin County Public Health Services (SJCPHS) aims to advance health equity, promote healthy living, and improve the conditions that impact the overall well-being of over 790,000 residents in San Joaquin County. In a study published by UC Davis in June 2022, SJC was one of the three counties with significantly higher rates of congenital syphilis (CS) compared to larger metro counties, with 297 CS cases per 100,000 live births. In determining contributors to the higher CS rates in SJC, researchers identified additional missed opportunities for prevention, screening, and treatment in the Emergency Department (ED) and Correction Settings. Learn how SJC is partnering with MX to utilize admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT) notifications and access longitudinal patient records to monitor communicable and infectious diseases. https://lnkd.in/dsfn3zEP

DYK? 🔗 The link between socio-economic status and health disparities is starkly evident in the case of Structural Heart Disease (SHD). Professor Univ.-Prof.Dr. Ralph Stephan von Bardeleben, Head of the Centre of Structural Heart Disease Interventions and the Heart Valve Centre in Mainz, Germany, underscores the significant barriers faced by people from lower socio-economic backgrounds in accessing timely and effective SHD care. 🔍 Key Insights: 🏥 In Germany, privately insured patients, often from higher socio-economic groups, receive faster access to healthcare services, including initial appointments. This disparity means those with lower socio-economic status often face delays. 💡 Awareness of SHD is significantly higher among well-educated groups. Individuals without a high school diploma or academic education are less likely to be informed about these diseases, leading to later presentation and more severe disease at diagnosis. 💹 Residents of deprived neighbourhoods are more likely to be diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis (AS), a form of SHD. This underdiagnosis trend in less wealthy groups underscores the need for targeted interventions.
