We are so excited to share some amazing news about Trenton Memorial Hospital! 1. New Emergency Department - Hospital staff recently toured the new Emergency Department plans, and it sounds incredible. The space is practically doubling in size, which will make a huge difference in how we can care for patients. Imagine bigger treatment rooms, dedicated areas for bariatric and mental health needs, and potentially even a pediatric room! This expansion is exactly what our community needs to ensure the best possible care for everyone. 2. We're also excited about LUMEO, the new health information system that's coming! This system will connect people and healthcare providers across the entire region. Imagine the benefits: improved quality and consistency of care, fewer errors and duplicated tests, and most importantly, more time for staff to focus on what matters most – our patients! Building a state-of-the-art Emergency Department and implementing LUMEO, the new health information system, are crucial for our community's healthcare, but they come with a hefty price tag. Over $1.7 million is needed to fill the gap to bridge the gap between operational funding and medical equipment needs. Additionally, LUMEO alone requires a significant investment of $6 million for TMH. The Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation needs your help! Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to making these improvements a reality. Visit tmhfoundation.com for more information.

AI startup advisor 'force multiplier' whose superpower is connecting and illuminating the dots that matter faster, better, smarter than you and 99.9% of people ;-)
After being bought by private equity firms, hospitals safety performance falls off with significant increases in inpatient falls and infections, according to new research published in JAMA. https://lnkd.in/gmDYXnmg Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the University of Chicago arrived at the conclusion after comparing a decade’s worth of Medicare Part A claims data between 51 equity-acquired hospitals and 259 matched controls.[1] The latter were hospitals not owned by private equity. The equity cohort comprised 662,000 hospitalizations; the control cohort, 4.2 million similar cases. For the equity cohort, the team also assessed hospitalizations from three years before to three years after ownership changed hands. Senior study author Zirui Song, MD, PhD, and colleagues found private equity acquisition correlated with a 25% increase in hospital-acquired adverse events through up to three years after acquisition. The adverse events included a 27% increase in falls and a 38% increase in the volume of central line-associated infections. What’s more, the spike in central line infections occurred even though central-line placements fell by 16% in the post-acquisition equity cohort. The researchers also uncovered a doubling of surgical site infections in post-acquisition private equity hospitals. By comparison, surgical site infections fell at the control hospitals. Song et al. surmise the troubling safety performance at hospitals owned by private equity largely trace to staffing shortfalls. In coverage of the research by HMS’s news operation, lead author Sneha Kannan, MD, says the findings are discomfiting because they “may reflect bottom-line incentives overshadowing patient care and safety” at hospitals owned by private equity firms. Hospital success, Kannan adds, is measured “not only in dollars or the number of patients who pass through the doors but also in lives saved, complication rates, patient satisfaction and a number of other quality and safety metrics. We need to make sure we fully understand the costs and benefits of this prominent new force in healthcare.” #healthcare #hospitals #safety #patientexperience #patientsafety #patientcare #privateequity

As part of our commitment to expand access to quality health care, Helmsley has granted $11.6 million to three health systems in Nevada, bringing life-saving #ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) technology for patients in rural communities suffering from acute cardiac and pulmonary failure. The availability of ECMO provides timely medical support to those experiencing severe respiratory and cardiovascular distress who face additional challenges around physician shortages, lack of equipment, and geographic barriers to emergency treatment. The grants will go to Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican Siena Hospital, Renown Health Foundation, and University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMC), funding physician and staff travel to active extracorporeal life support centers, training equipment, consultation services, and other tools for program expansion across the state. “ECMO can be a game changer for patients with severe heart and lung conditions,” said Walter Panzirer, a Helmsley Trustee. “Without ECMO, hospitals have to transfer patients to other facilities, and those who are too unstable for transport could die before receiving needed care.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dSBcE5Eb

Vial of Life program Presentation at the Rotary Club of Sapulpa, OK. Presented by Lindsey L. Williams, President, Rotary Club of Owasso, OK. The Rotary Club of Owasso, in partnership with the Owasso Fire Department, launched the Vial of Life program on February 1, 2024, for home-bound seniors, housebound disabled veterans, and residents who may need emergency care. The Vial of Life program is nationally recognized as saving countless lives each year by providing emergency responders with life-saving medical information during an emergency. We aim to provide the Vial of Life kits free of charge to Owasso and the surrounding community. The Owasso Rotary Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit If your senior parent, housebound disabled veteran, or another family member had a medical emergency and were alone, they might be unconscious or confused. If so, who would provide the crucial medical information that EMS personnel need in an emergency? Even if awake and aware, people don't always remember details in a crisis. This is when the free Vial of Life kits can save a life! Our goal is to help medical personnel make the best decisions regarding emergency treatment for Owasso, OK, and surrounding areas by providing a Vial of Life Kit for the residents who need it. "The Vial of Life Kit is designed to speak for the residents when they can't speak for themselves." Vial of Life Program: https://lnkd.in/gXMqbYwR

Today is #ClinicalTrialsDay. In a world where more and more information are, presumably, obtained through all sorts of tech solutions, #machinelearning, #bigdata #AI, there is still a need for "old fashion" trials. I have seen several times before where data driven analysis do actually produce interesting hypotheses, but how can we trust them? Clinical trials quantifies the #scientific procedure that is needed to find out IF there actaually is a real effect or just a coincidence. Good clinical trials also requires good data handling, data manipulation, analysis plans, procedures for analysis and reporting. #statistics #science
Today we are celebrating #clinicaltrialsday. https://lnkd.in/eDYjHMK
