“You want me to ask my community staff to add an up to 90-minute meeting to their week?! Really!&*” I often encounter this reaction when I introduce the concept of HigherPath Care Coordination Councils to operators interested in the Value-Based Care Alliance of Virginia. But hear me out: It’s actually a brilliant way to SAVE your staff time AND take better care of residents. The HigherPath meetings are weekly, up to 90-minute in-person gatherings of interdisciplinary care teams. This includes the executive director, nursing, activities, and sales directors, along with external providers like rehab and primary care specialists. These sessions have a clear agenda for discussing resident issues, reviewing actions from prior meetings, and ensuring no resident needs are overlooked. Nursing directors report saving 4-6 hours weekly on coordination and calls thanks to these meetings. And those aren't the only big improvements: - A 10% reduction in weekly ER visits - A 55% decrease in falls resulting in injury - Medication errors eliminated entirely - A 25% increase in resident satisfaction - Over a 100% boost in staff happiness Is all that worth 90 minutes? I’d say so. Wanna know how to bring this to your communities? DM me and let’s talk. #valuebasedcare #worksmarter #seniorliving

Effective marketing and messaging can play a crucial role in addressing the challenges these rural hospitals often face. Here are just 2 ways marketing & messaging can help: 1. Community Engagement Campaigns: Rural hospitals can leverage marketing strategies to engage with their local communities and foster a sense of ownership and support. By communicating the hospital's value, services, and impact on community health, hospitals can rally community members to advocate for the hospital's sustainability. 2. Recruitment and Retention Initiatives: Marketing efforts can also be directed towards attracting and retaining healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and support staff, in rural hospital settings. By highlighting the unique opportunities, benefits, and quality of life aspects of working in a rural healthcare setting, hospitals can appeal to potential candidates. Additionally, showcasing ongoing professional development opportunities, career advancement pathways, and a supportive work environment can help in retaining existing staff members and reducing turnover rates. When rural hospitals close, the entire surrounding community feels the effects. Care is harder to access and the health of the surrounding population suffers as well.

Excellent piece written by my friend and colleague Desireé Clement, DNP, CNM, FNP-BC, FACNM, FAANP, FAAN . 4 minute read. "In communities where no physicians are working, isn’t it better to have at least one APRN who can fully practice to their level of training versus no clinician at all?" "There are enough patient care needs for all clinicians to have a full patient load, plus a multitude of opportunities to transform how we deliver care together." https://lnkd.in/e5VunCBU

A new review finds #respect between nurses and physicians associated with less conflict, better collaboration, and outcomes. distinguishing between respect for task-relevant capabilities (earned professional respect) and respect for human rights (expected humanistic respect) is important, as they relate to different outcomes. Respect for capabilities facilitates collaboration, while respect for rights reduces conflict. https://lnkd.in/e8BTwZrc
