For us at SCP Health, TeleICU is more than a coverage model. Have you heard of 'The ICU Paradigm Shift'? Please join me and Erika Gabbard, DNP, RN, CCNS, CCRN-K at #chest2023 conference, booth 806 to find out more about how SCP Health is approaching ICUs in a holistic and interconnected approach.

In home care for acute decompensated #heartfailure promotes community based, patient centric care, and importantly, #ageinginplace. This is key in chronic heart failure, where many patients also struggle with #frailty and multiple co-morbidities. In our #communityparamedic pilot, we explored logistics and feasibility of in home IV diuresis for #ADHF and observed increased times at home after hospital discharge. Maximizing time at home and out of healthcare facilities may become increasingly important for quality of life. To achieve this, the #futureofhealthcare will involve not only #digitalhealthcare solutions and #remotepatientmonitoring, but alternative care delivery pathways like this one. #futureisnow Rozalina McCoy Sara Severson Melissa Skov Angela Fink Horng Chen Chad Liedl Michael Juntunen Patti Bieber

"Screening for End-of-Life in Acute Hospitals: A Cross-Sectional Survey" by Dr Timothy To, Paul Hakendorf and Professor David Currow has been published in the American Journal of Hospice & Palliative Care. More here: https://lnkd.in/gvYkhckg "Patients are frequently admitted to hospital in the last year of life. Actively recognising patients at this stage gives the opportunity to plan future care... We performed a cross-sectional survey of all acute medical and surgical inpatients at one tertiary hospital. Two simple screening tools, the 'indicators for a palliative approach' and the 'surprise question' identified a group of patients at greatly increased risk of dying over the next year." #EndofLife #AcuteCare #LastYearofLife

Good to have Australian study looking at Surprise Question and Indicator for a palliative approach at the utility of screening for end of life in a tertiary hospital. A simple and seemingly effective way to help identify and respond to needs for care at the end of life in the acute setting. Thanks to the authors.

2022/24 was another challenging year for our service. Yet, once again, #TeamNEAS pulled out all the stops to be there for our patients. Two weeks ago, we took the opportunity to reflect on the last year and look forward to the forthcoming year at our Annual General Meeting. We’ll be sharing some of those highlights throughout the rest of the week. They include: 📞 Answering more than 1.3 million 999 and 111 calls in our Emergency Operations Centres (EOCs) – and opening a new EOC at our base in Wynyard. 🚑 Of those, only 258,141 patients – were transported to hospital, thanks to a huge effort from our clinicians to treat more people over the phone or in their own homes without the need for hospital admission. 🚑 Our Scheduled Care crews also had a vital part to play in supporting our patients by completing 412,609 planned journeys to hospital appointments such as dialysis and chemotherapy, and a further 84,644 unplanned journeys, including hospital discharges. ⏱ We are consistently one of the best performing ambulance services for reaching our sickest patients and compare well against other services for response times generally. We know some patients are still waiting longer than we would like and we are working hard to improve this.

The Elective Recovery Taskforce's plan published today includes much we believe is good for patients, especially those on waiting lists. Rachel Power, our Chief Executive, has been a member of the Taskforce. Some of the actions align with suggestions we have made, such as a campaign to let patients in England know they have the right to choose where they have their care and putting more information on My Planned Care to make it easier to find out where the shortest waiting lists are.

At Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals, part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, a new innovative treatment called Pulse Field Ablation (PFA) is being tested for the treatment of early-stage atrial fibrillation (AF), taking significantly less time than existing AF catheter ablation techniques. The new treatment, PFA, uses a different energy delivery approach to treat the heart area responsible for irregular electrical activity and has advantages over conventional catheter ablation. Dr Zhong Chen, based at Harefield Hospital, explains: “PFA is designed to specifically target cardiac tissue and reduce damage to nerves, blood vessels and the oesophagus. The treatment takes 15–30 minutes and is better for patient recovery, with many going home on the same day.” With shorter treatment times, better use of catheter lab time, and reduced hospital stays, PFA can be offered to more patients. It is a game-changer and will change the way AF is treated. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eajaacHE #worldheartday2023 #innovation #CardiovascularHealthCampaign2023 #TheGuardian
