For many hospitals across the country, 2023 marked a sort of turning point.  A mid life crisis for the hospital industry, if you will? We know that challenges with processes exist within the hospital industry. COVID-19 brought these issues to the forefront, emphasizing the importance of addressing problems related to staffing, patient care, and adopting innovative approaches. So, this year, along with resolutions to start a new hobby or routine, why not explore new ways to add additional value to our hospitals? Here are 3 New Year's resolutions, if you will, that hospitals should consider adding to their list: ↳ In 2023, lots of opportunities to enhance patient care remained untapped. ↳ In 2024, hospitals can take a significant step forward by harnessing the power of their own extensive data resources. For instance, 4 out of 5 hospitals are unaware of their glycemic rates, negatively impacting patient outcomes. Awareness and data utilization are key to bridging these gaps and delivering exceptional care. ↳ In 2023, the disconnect between technology providers and hospital systems became evident. ↳ In 2024, hospitals can embark on a journey to foster closer collaboration with technology experts who understand the intricacies of healthcare. This partnership can lead to the development of more tailored and effective solutions that benefit both patients and healthcare professionals. ↳ In 2023, the clinician burnout was undeniable. ↳ In 2024, hospitals can take proactive measures to create a more attractive and supportive work environment for their talented nursing staff. While challenges persist, the seeds of positive change have been sown. By embracing these resolutions and staying attuned to industry trends, hospitals can effectively navigate the upcoming year and ultimately deliver improved care and experiences for patients and staff alike. Happy New Year! #healthcareinnovation #healthtech #hospitals

As the healthcare industry grapples with provider shortages, investing in NPs and PAs is paramount. Transition to practice programs is not just an investment in individual development but a strategic move to ensure the highest quality of patient care and the well-being of our communities. Now is the time to bridge the gap and pave the way for the next-generation care team. #HealthcareLeadership #TransitionToPractice #healthcareinnovation #advancedpractice

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) predicts that demand for medical services in the U.S. will grow much faster than physician supply, leading to a physician shortage. In primary care, specifically, relief is coming for overburdened physicians, as advanced practice clinicians (APCs), including nurse practitioners and physician assistants, are among the fastest growing professions. Learn more about how APCs will be key to alleviating the primary care crisis: https://lnkd.in/g4fTHdWw Laura Kline, MBA, CPCU #healthcare #NPs #PAs #APC #AdvancePracticeProvider #AdvancePracticeClinician #primarycare #physicianshortage #nursepractitioner #physicianassistant

🌟 Exciting Developments in Healthcare: Embracing Patient-Centered Models 🌟 Join me in exploring the transformative power of Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) and Integrated Practice Units (IPU) in reshaping healthcare delivery! 💼👩⚕️ In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the concept of PCMHs is revolutionizing how we approach patient care. By coordinating treatment through primary care physicians, PCMHs ensure that patients receive the necessary care when and where they need it, all while focusing on the whole person and embracing a team-based approach. From pre-visit planning to expanded roles for medical assistants, high-functioning PCMH practices are essential in creating a high-quality, high-value healthcare system that truly works for patients. But that's not all – let's not forget about IPUs! These innovative units organize care around medical conditions or patient segments, promoting multidisciplinary collaboration and joint accountability for outcomes and costs. With integrated care spanning outpatient, inpatient, and rehabilitative services, IPUs represent a holistic approach to healthcare delivery, where patient education, engagement, and follow-up are seamlessly integrated into the care process. However, as we navigate these transformative models, challenges arise – especially in discussing overuse/underuse of care with patients. Planning, training, and practice are crucial in facilitating these conversations effectively and ensuring that patients receive the right care at the right time. At the heart of it all, Coordination and Support Organizations (CCSOs) play a pivotal role in delivering localized, accountable care coordination and mobile crisis response to eligible customers within designated service areas, further enhancing patient-centered care delivery. Let's embrace these innovations together and pave the way for a healthcare system that prioritizes quality, accessibility, and patient-centricity.

I love the name and purpose of this initiative - getting ride of the "stupid stuff" that make EHRs more time consuming for hospitals and physicians. This seems like something that should be done on a regular basis to help improve EHR functionality. Of course, the hope would be that there is less stupid stuff to fix as time goes on, but definitely an idea that has merit, in my opinion. #EHR #hospitals #physicians #revneuecyclemanagement
