The prevalence of severe obesity has more than doubled in the past decade, placing increased demands on hospitals and staff to safely mobilize these individuals. In a recent case study, we explore how an 800-pound patient progressed from dependent (admission) to independent (discharge) using a range of specialized equipment, including a 48” wide bed, ceiling lift, bariatric stretcher chair and more. This equipment played a crucial role in the patient’s recovery and kept hospital staff safe throughout the entire process. Read the full case study for more details on how hospitals can safely mobilize individuals of size.??? https://lnkd.in/gdTGXk4m #PatientCare #BariatricCare #HospitalSafety #ObesityCare #MedicalEquipment

??Reducing heart attacks & strokes with NICE-recommended statins?? Following publication of NICE guidance, a record 5.3M people in England were given NICE-recommended statins or ezetimibe by their GP in 2023/24, to help lower cholesterol and reduce heart attack and stroke risk—nearly 900k more than the previous year. This increase is the largest since 2016/17. From atorvastatin to ezetimibe, implementation work undertaken by NHS England, NICE and other system partners may have driven the steady rise in lipid-lowering therapies and is helping clinicians support at risk patients. Implementing shared decision-making and patient education has been a focus, with initiatives like training programmes and multilingual resources reaching across Integrated Care Boards. ??https://lnkd.in/eYjUw3Se #Healthcare #CVDPrevention #Statins #NICEGuidance #PublicHealth

As we begin American Heart Month, patient safety is at the forefront of our minds. According to a new report from ECRI, the use of medical devices in the home is a top patient safety concern for 2024. This is especially critical for perinatal women who are self-monitoring their blood pressure. It's essential for them to know how, when, and why to take these measurements. That's where our Perinatal Hypertension education and monitoring module comes in. Our program not only walks birthing people through the basics but also provides wrap-around care addressing the emotional, social, and psychological aspects of having perinatal hypertension.

Longer wait times for physician appointments and a shortage of specialists create significant challenges for elderly patients with chronic non-healing wounds in urban areas, where demand for specialized care is high. These patients are especially vulnerable due to factors such as advanced age, slower healing rates, and other health conditions that complicate wound management. Scarcity of appointments at wound care clinics often leads to treatment delays, which can cause chronic wounds to worsen, heightening the risk of infections, hospitalizations, and even emergency interventions. In densely populated urban centers, the limited availability of specialized wound care makes timely access difficult, leaving elderly patients with critical needs underserved.

Here's why you should switch to negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) today. NPWT not only improves clinical outcomes but also enhances patient comfort and overall quality of life. Benefits reported by patients include: Reduced pain: The gentle and consistent pressure applied by NPWT can alleviate discomfort associated with severe wounds. Less frequent dressing changes: NPWT dressings typically need fewer changes than traditional dressings, reducing discomfort and intervention from healthcare providers. Improved mobility (especially with single-use): With portable NPWT units, patients can move more freely, contributing to better physical and mental health during recovery. - - - #longtermcare #nursinghome #healthcare Follow us for more educational content like this! ???
