Meet Gerda, an 80-year-old who recently underwent a hip operation 👵👇 Upon leaving the hospital, she entered into municipal care. What should have been a seamless transition, however, turned into a labyrinth of coordination issues between hospital and municipal healthcare providers. While the hospital did dispatch a discharge report to the municipal home care service, crucial details about Gerda's condition and stay at the hospital were absent. This posed a significant challenge for the nurse responsible for her medication regimen. Without knowing when Gerda last received pain relieving medication at the hospital - was it 3 or 4 hours ago? - the municipal nurse found herself at a loss. Recognising the situation's urgency to ensure Gerda's comfort and recovery, the municipal nurse had to reach out to her counterpart at the hospital. Unfortunately, Gerda's experience isn't unique; it mirrors the broader healthcare landscape in Denmark. Fragmented patient information due to inadequate system integration continues to impede the efforts of dedicated healthcare professionals, ultimately affecting the quality of care delivered to citizens like Gerda. To address this issue, Systematic has developed Columna Axon: An innovative solution that empowers healthcare professionals in the municipality with access to citizens’ medical records from the hospital with just one tap, eliminating the need to call the hospital. This allows better coordination and communication across sectors and makes room for faster treatment and fewer errors Learn more about how Columna Axon can help bridge the information gap between hospitals and municipalities ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02rNZ660 #Healthcare #ContinuumOfCare #PatientSafety #SystemIntegration #InformationGap

Hundreds of thousands more people a month will be able to refer themselves for key services such as help with incontinence, podiatry, or hearing tests without needing to see a GP first. Across the NHS, around 200,000 people a month already refer themselves for treatment for podiatry, audiology, and physiotherapy but local services will now be able to expand the option of self-referral to other key services based on the needs of their population. The NHS is writing to services to set out the next steps for the year ahead to continue to modernise general practice, expand pharmacy services, and offer patients more choice in how they access care. Dr Amanda Doyle, NHS Director of Primary and Community Care said, ‘Not only is this good news for patients but it will also free up family doctors who are already delivering millions more appointments a month than before the pandemic.’ Read how the NHS is making primary care services more convenient for patients. https://lnkd.in/etG79xfV
