Practicing Cardiologist, Dr. Samir Damani, gets candid about the financial rewards available to providers implementing remote care, namely CCM and RPM: "Medicare has changed a number of things including reimbursement for the codes, which made it easier to put into action." "As a practice, you can get to the point where you can actually manage this population and be able to pay your overhead, and maybe even make a little extra. And rightfully so, because when these programs are successful, every hospital admission that you've prevented equates to dollars back to taxpayers." https://hubs.ly/Q02zSVkg0

100% satisfaction in birth metrics! What is the secret? Cleveland Clinic achieved 100% satisfaction across five birth metrics, a notable feat that Becker's Hospital Review highlighted. Cleveland Clinic adopted TeamBirth in October 2022. TeamBirth is a care delivery model jointly created in 2021 by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Ariadne Labs and UMass Memorial Health. It emphasizes routine check-ins with all patient care team members and family at key points to streamline communication about birth preferences and patient status, using a whiteboard as a key tool. Since adopting it, the health system saw the rate of C-sections for Black mothers go down from 41% to 22%. Rates also improved for white mothers, dropping from 27% to 23%, bringing the outcomes for its patient populations to a more equitable level. ▶ Satisfaction went up across five categories in 2022 to a perfect 100% for: ➡ Friendliness/courtesy of the unit — up 10% from 2022. ➡ Staff concern, information about progress and baby’s condition — up 12% from 2022. ➡ Nurse promptness in responding to patient call — up 12% from 2022. ➡ Nurse's attitude toward patient requests — up 13% from 2022. ➡ Doctor and staff working together during birth — up 15% from 2022. Patient satisfaction grew by 23% — from 72% in 2022 to 95% in 2024 — for how well they felt Cleveland Clinic managed their pain during labour. Transparent communication is important to promoting safety and reliability in high-risk organizations. ♻ How is the communication in your organization? #healthcare #communication #reliability

Care is local. When clinicians are embedded in local communities, it strengthens relationships, builds trust, and improves satisfaction for both patients and clinicians. Clinicians have a lot to contribute in many areas, and can serve in multiple ways. Many SCP Health medical directors serve on committees at their hospitals, including: Graduate Medical Education Committee Sepsis Committee Patient Safety Committee Patient Satisfaction Committee Leadership Council Ethics Committee Joint Operation Council Critical Care Committee Additionally, they volunteer with local organizations, such as: Boy Scouts Hospice centers Food pantries Cancer centers Burn camps American Heart Association American Cancer Association Disaster relief National Kidney Foundation Clinicians + Communities = Exceptional Care #TogetherWeHeal

At Cypress Health Partners, we believe MSK healthcare is broken, and we’re here to help fix it. The direct annual cost of MSK conditions is estimated to be in excess of $381 billion, representing the single largest health category in the United States — and also the fastest growing. If this increase in spending translated to better overall MSK health, perhaps the money would have been well spent. But it hasn’t. As Americans have spent more money, the number of MSK claims continues to rise. How does our vision to build a better model for MSK health, improve this outlook?

The Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) waiver program allows hospitals to deliver acute medical care for Medicare and Medicaid patients at home rather than within their own brick-and-mortar walls. Congress is currently debating whether to extend the program for an additional 5 years. Researchers sought to find out what types of hospitals have adopted the program, as that could inform ongoing policy decisions.   Austin Kilaru, Hashem E. Zikry, and David Schriger analyzed hospitals participating in the AHCAH waiver program. In a JAMA research letter, they report that participants have tended to be large, urban, not-for-profit, and academic hospitals.   "As further extension of the AHCAH waiver program is debated in Congress, CMS may consider additional strategies to engage a broader set of facilities to develop hospital-at-home programs, particularly nonteaching and rural hospitals," the authors noted. Read the research letter: https://lnkd.in/ezgprEv5 Dr. Kilaru is a leader of Penn Medicine's PATH – Practical Alternative to Hospitalization – one such program for delivering acute care at home.
