Good article, from Belgium #HeadNurse / #WardManager. 🦸🏻♂️Nursing department executives are superheroes. 🎥 Beyond the hashtag#shortage of hashtag#caregivers, this RTBF report in which my friend Maule Yves is followed shows in a very true and authentic way, the daily life of #nurses #heads of departments with the #hospital : 👉 establish a cadastre of #resources 👉 reconfigure #teams 👉 support unit head nurses 💪 ultimately find solutions to ensure the continuity of #care for #patients and limit as much as possible the closure of #hospitalization beds. 😓 We often mention the #suffering of the #caregivers, and rightly so. However, there is little mention of the difficulties experienced by the #managers of these teams whose #psychosocial and operational workload has increased since the #COVID crisis.

Post-crisis debriefing for staff should be mandatory. Taking care of ourselves is crucial 👇🏻

🌟 Exciting News in Healthcare 🌟 I'm thrilled to share this groundbreaking development in healthcare: Nurse Practitioners are gaining the opportunity to take on more responsibility in patient care! A recent article from La Presse highlights this significant step forward in recognizing the expertise and capability of nurse practitioners. 👩⚕️ Nurse practitioners play a crucial role in healthcare, providing high-quality, patient-centered care across a variety of settings. With their advanced training and clinical skills, they are well-equipped to manage and coordinate care for patients with complex needs. 🔍 This expansion of responsibilities not only acknowledges the valuable contributions of nurse practitioners but also enhances access to care for patients. By leveraging the expertise of nurse practitioners, healthcare systems can improve efficiency, increase patient satisfaction, and ultimately, achieve better health outcomes. 🚀 As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of healthcare, it's essential to empower healthcare professionals to practice to the full extent of their education and training. This decision is a significant step forward in recognizing the vital role nurse practitioners play in delivering high-quality, accessible healthcare. 💬 I'd love to hear your thoughts on this exciting development! How do you envision this change impacting patient care and the healthcare landscape as a whole?

Bravos Elie. This is especially important for sepsis. Sepsis is at the heart of intensive care. In spite of this, the mortality rate remains very high, and convalescence very long and painful. For families, hospitalization in intensive care is an upheaval due to the rapid onset of sepsis, in a matter of hours, or even minutes in the case of meningitis. It's a tragedy that requires a long explanation to limit the trauma. Families will also be able to tell their loved ones what happened to the survivors. Survivors have a justified sense of having been in an "abnormal" state beyond "normal" life. For those who will die in this strange, even disturbing environment (noise, smells, machines, cleanliness, numerous people chatting in a strange jargon). These memories may stay with loved ones for the rest of their lives. It's part of care to listen and try to alleviate this suffering. This is a difficult question for small children. Contrary to what I had thought and learned, it is possible to bring them to their parent's bed. But to avoid doing worse than good, a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses and psychologists is needed before, after and at a distance. The time required for such a visit is considerable, and is not - if at all - financially rewarded. But what is sepsis? 🔥Sepsis is the body's "desperate" response to an infection it considers threatening. All organs fail to a greater or lesser extent. 🔥Sepsis is often very sudde going from a banal infection to "something else" without realizing it at first. It's an emergency => intensive care (ICU), often life-saving (20-50% mortality). Sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality, suffering (of families, loved ones, recovering) and healthcare cost. (20% of global mortality, 0.5% of US GDP, 0.3% linked to hospitalization in intensive care and convalescence for long months/weeks). The incredible pain of recovery was highlighted by very brave survivors or relatives. Shahrzad Kiavash Jacqueline Duda Katy Grainger Davy Cotting Jamila Hedjal Sandra K many other.

It’s a start.

Health is a Wealth.. M.Gandhi Good health is a vital component of human well-being, and enables individuals and communities to build satisfying and productive lives.. From bigger picture it is a prerequisite ( not a vinsequence) for Economical growth of any nation and its Progress. Thus investments in health and translational integrative research, necessary infrastructures, manufacturing and laboratory including, well trained, educated and valuated staff, education of population. This goes hand to hand with guarantee of health security- water and alimentary security. Less spending in administration and more in effective and strong base, early detection and more importantly in Prevention. Digital is a helpful accessory to solid healthcare ecosystem as a base to guaranty resilience facing " pandemics" we are able to prevent or contain at the first place. To ilustrate, since the establishment of WHO in 1948, there has been an unprecedented improvement in human well-being and longevity. Average global life expectancy at birth has increased from 47 years in 1950–1955 to 72 years in 2015–2020, an increase of 25 years or 54% over this time period. Even though many factors have shaped these major improvements in global health, including rising economic prosperity, rapidly growing medical knowledge, and more effective systems and institutions to apply that medical knowledge to the whole population, WHO has been for a long time, Before Covid very instrumental and pivotal in catalysing and securing these health outcomes. The value of the improvement in global health over the past century is not in dispute, and economists have increasingly recognized its importance relative to other factors. Current estimates indicate that US$ 8.5 trillion is spent every year on health, representing almost 10% of global gross domestic product. An estimate for five countries (Brazil, China, India, the United States of America and Venezuela suggests that the value of health capital is more than twice as large as all other forms of capital combined
