What care is like as a Patina patient Patina is age-friendly primary care that's purpose-built for adults 65+. We love working with older adults and are so grateful for the hundreds of patients who have chosen us. Every day, they share incredible feedback, telling us Patina is the kind of care they always wished they had but didn’t know existed. Watch this video to see what care is like as a Patina patient. #PatinaHealth #PatinaPatient #CareAtPatina https://lnkd.in/e_VWQgd7

The month of November gives us time to celebrate and support National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Throughout the month, we would like to share insights about the value and benefits of these types of care. One of the most common misconceptions about hospice care is that it's exclusively for patients in their final days, or weeks, of life. In reality, hospice is focused on providing comfort care and improving the quality of life for terminally ill patients for up to six months under Medicare coverage.

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, focusing on the theme of "Courageous Conversations." In a society that often encourages us to avoid discussions about mortality and within a healthcare system emphasizing interventions, discussing end-of-life matters can be transformative. What significance does death hold in my life? If I were to face a terminal diagnosis, how would my values influence my journey towards the end of life? How do I want my loved ones to be involved as I near the end of my life? While contemplating these questions is challenging, engaging in these courageous conversations with ourselves, family, friends, and healthcare providers can make the distinction between having a death experience aligned with one's values and desires and one that leaves the individual without a voice in their final journey. During Hospice and Palliative Care Month this November, NHPCO encourages everyone to initiate these Courageous Conversations, fostering meaningful dialogues on "dying a good death." You can learn more by visiting the NHPCO website; click below on the link in our bio.

Researchers have identified that 32% of individuals over age 70 and approximately 50% of those over age 80 experience a loss of physical function (activities of daily living) during hospitalization. Implementing specific geriatric models of care can improve hospitalization-associated outcomes, such as: ⤴ Increased likelihood of discharge home instead of to a facility ⬇ Decreased incidence of delirium ⬇ Decreased mortality risk ↘ Shortened hospital length of stay (LOS) ↘ Lower or equal costs of hospital care Earlier patient mobilization programs in hospitals, such as QCH's "Get Moving Team," decrease the risk of functional decline during hospitalization and significantly reduce hospital care costs in Ontario. Specialized geriatric nursing resources that provide clinical expertise in our Emergency Department team will deliver person-centered, high-quality care and provide faster access to the necessary services within hours of hospitalization for our patients living with dementia. The caregivers of our most vulnerable patients deserve early navigation support that is practical and useful in our Emergency Department. QCH is very well-known for it's innovative lens on geriatric and dementia care. Highlighting initiatives that benefit our older adults is so crucial to ensuring they become sustainable, receive permanent funding, and can be replicated across hospitals in Ontario. The work always continues in improving the lives of our older adults in acute care hospitals. #innovationinhealthcare #personcenteredcare #geriatrics #hospital
Last November, Marion Wright fractured her pelvis in multiple places after falling in her home. When she arrived at QCH, she was completely immobilized and began to wonder what her future would hold. That changed after a few days when members of the QCH Get Moving team began working with her. The program has helped over 1,280 patients get home faster, through early and frequent functional mobility training. Some patients are leaving the hospital in better condition than when they arrived. Marion credits the team for recovering as well as she did and believes she wouldn’t still be living independently without the support of the program.

Following from the recent CMS announcement of the "Birthing-Friendly" designation for hospitals, will "Birthing-Friendly" become the benchmark against which to measure maternal-infant birth outcomes in 2024 and beyond? As a suggestion, researchers should try to ascertain any meaningful relationships among birthing-friendly hospital designations (operationalized as systems-level variables), maternal-infant birth outcomes (operationalized as complicated and uncomplicated births at the unit or departmental level), mother's demographics, and any other relevant data.
All eligible Kaiser Permanente hospitals have been designated Birthing-Friendly by CMS, demonstrating our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality care to moms and babies: https://k-p.li/3NLR0MT
