The Power of a Positive Reputation for Hospitals In the healthcare industry, trust and confidence are paramount. Hospitals with a positive reputation enjoy numerous benefits, and one of the most impactful is the increase in patient trust and confidence. When patients trust a hospital, they are more likely to choose it for their healthcare needs. This trust leads to higher patient volumes, as more individuals feel confident in the quality of care provided. Additionally, a strong reputation fosters word-of-mouth referrals, as satisfied patients recommend the hospital to their family and friends. A hospital's reputation is built on consistent, high-quality care, professional staff, and positive patient outcomes. By prioritizing these elements, hospitals not only improve their reputation but also contribute to better health outcomes for the community. Let's continue to strive for excellence in healthcare and build trust within our communities.

Hospital at-home or acute #healthcare at home has been one of the leading trends in care delivery over the past few years. This innovative approach allows healthcare systems to expand their capacities without investing millions in building new brick-and-mortar #hospitals. Some of the nation's top hospitals and healthcare systems are leading the way, pioneering this transformative approach. The results so far have been remarkable, showcasing this model's effectiveness and patient-centric nature. What's particularly intriguing is the temporary waiver that has facilitated this shift. There's a growing sentiment in the industry that this may not be a short-term solution but could become a permanent regulation. As we approach the end of 2024, the discussions around making this waiver a permanent change are gaining momentum. Permanently instating the Hospital-at-Home care model opens up new possibilities for enhancing patient experience, reducing healthcare costs, and providing more personalized and compassionate care. #hospitalathome #clinicalinformatics #Caredelivery #healthcaredelivery #healthcareinnovation #valuebasedcare Link: https://lnkd.in/eVtk5bj9

24% of patients who die in the hospital or are transferred to the ICU suffer a diagnostic error. The Institute for Healthcare Quality, Safety and Efficiency received a two-year grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to develop a Diagnostic Excellence Capacity Building Program. As part of the Achieving Diagnostic Excellence through Prevention and Teamwork (ADEPT) collaborative, the IHQSE will use the grant funds to create a model for developing and implementing diagnostic excellence programs at 15 hospitals across the country. IHQSE Director, Jeffrey Glasheen, MD, discusses the new grant and how it will support efforts to address and improve diagnostic accuracy across the country.

Very interesting news from NHS England this week in Health Service Journal on the formalisation of new national targets for #discharge management and step-down care. A particularly interesting part of this standard is improvement to the way that hospitals capture and manage data on patients' readiness for discharge. This will include a standardised structure of pre-discharge assessments. The Brightfish team here at LOGEX are experts on that, and are ready to assist hospitals with #patientengagement at the bedside to speed up the discharge process for clinically-ready patients.

Over the previous months, we’ve held roundtables with our members and the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England to find out what healthcare leaders want to see from the major conditions strategy: ☑️A multimorbidity approach ☑️Look beyond the system to structural factors driving ill-health ☑️Support for existing structures including ICSs and PCNs ☑️Outcomes-focused ☑️Shifting towards a more integrated workforce. Read the full recommendation here: https://lnkd.in/grGBKZbZ.

What do healthcare leaders want to see from the upcoming major conditions strategy? They want: 1️⃣ government action on the factors that affect health; 2️⃣ stability for existing policy and structures that are working (ICSs, PCNs, CORE20Plus5); and 3️⃣ an outcomes-focussed plan that supports a more integrated workforce.
