Some patients deal with the immediate challenge of a life-changing cardiac event and some face the ongoing challenge of living with cardiac disease. But no matter where a cardiac patient is in their health journey, physicians can now incorporate cardiac rehab and risk reduction programs as an extension of their care. In this puzzle of comprehensive care, Nudj Cardiac Complete™ is the missing piece: 🧩 Exclusive offering of Home-based, virtual Intensive Cardiac Rehab (v-ICR) with Ornish Lifestyle Medicine™ 🧩 Medicare reimbursed, evidence-based, primary and secondary cardiac prevention programs certified by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) 🧩 Proven clinical outcomes #cardiacevent #cardiacdisease #cardiacpatient #cardiacrehab #comprehensivecare #icr #healthjourney #riskreduction #lifestylemedicine #nudjcardiaccomplete

TRANSFORM HF is pleased to present a 2024 Seed Grant to Drs. Katie N. Dainty and Brian Grunau for their proposal to build the first ever sensor to detect cardiac arrest – the ultimate heart failure. 60,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests (SCAs) occur each year in Canada. Only about 10% of these cases survive to return home, meaning that there more than 150 deaths every day attributed to SCA. Whether a cardiac arrest is witnessed or not is a key determinant of outcomes. Unfortunately, in over three-quarters of out-of-hospital events, no one is there to witness the event. According to Drs. Katie Dainty (Research Chair in Patient-Centred Outcomes, North York General Hospital) and Brian Grunau (Assistant Professor, The University of British Columbia and Emergency Physician), immediate recognition of SCAs could triple survival rates and save over 3,400 lives in Canada per year. They believe that this can be done through remote monitoring. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gTgQe-Hh

As we close out Sepsis Awareness month, Jessica Newman, stroke and sepsis coordinator shares what you need to know about sepsis including risk factors and symptoms. As part of HCA Healthcare, HCA Florida Englewood Hospital uses an automated, real-time system to identify patients with sepsis more quickly. The system is HCA Healthcare’s Sepsis Prediction and Optimization of Therapy, or SPOT, technology and allows caregivers to intervene quickly to save lives. HCA Healthcare’s SPOT is an algorithm and alert system for the early detection of sepsis. Created by HCA Healthcare clinical and IT experts using data from millions of hospitalizations, SPOT continuously monitors vital signs, lab results, nursing reports and other data that can inform treatment and sees the critical data points in patients’ electronic health records. HCA Healthcare’s SPOT links algorithmic sepsis detection with clinical workflow. It quickly alerts care teams of important and often subtle changes in a patient’s condition so they can take appropriate action.

Roughly 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur each year in the United States. An estimated 90% are fatal.* Prehospital and public safety programs are based on the successful 10-step foundation developed by the Resuscitation Academy, which is proven to increase out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates. Through partnership with the American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical, RQI Partners’ Resuscitation Quality Improvement programs were born, designed to optimize each element in the Chain of Survival.

Heart failure is complicated, and every patient scenario is different. As one of our partner cardiologist's notes, “The Amedisys Heart Failure Program provides the personal clinical care, daily assessments, and education my patients need to be fully engaged and take responsibility for their heart failure care.” Read more about our individualized care approach: https://hubs.li/Q02lPCjv0
