Here’s an update on virtual wards #HospitalatHome from a recent VW Convenzis Group conference we attended. Do get in touch if you wish to know more on how to scale safely across a large geographic region and create maximum impact.

At PDI, we frequently talk about our competitive advantages, and without fail, our clinical team comes up as one of them time and time again. Excited for #APIC2024 - Come see why you should #CallonClinical with PDI. #bethedifference #pdi

This course is a huge resource for prehospital providers. Two years ago despite lengthy discussion that I spent much time in with some folks at AAP the board that overseas the Neonatal Resuscitation Program did not feel paramedics could effectively instruct this course. They did identify that paramedics such as myself in specialty roles were to be taken into consideration for future NRP Instructor Eligibility (a step in the right direction!). Will AAP’s PEPP program in theory offers basic Neo Resus curriculum, it is often not the core focus of the class. PEPP classes are also regionally offered/required whereas NRP is an near universal standard. Most EMS agencies only require AHA PALS, but that does not address neonatal resusciation during a field delivery setting. Paramedics often rely on paramedics for instruction all across the nation, and while NRP often remains inaccessible to prehospital provider programs like this really help bridge the gap between the hospital and field. Kudos Dusty, Sarah, and Alix! Way to bridge the gap!

I like to document things, both big and small. So, I wrote this piece on ‘The Taste of Freedom’ which summarizes my experience working in the Children’s hospital for the past three months. Read here https://lnkd.in/eMytY8Mq

Sharing a useful infographic on best practices of becoming a health literate organization. What are you hearing about the reading level? It used to be 6th grade but I have talked to a few organizations that are using 3rd grade.

Happy EMS Week! Honoring Our Past. Forging Our Future. Half a century ago, a presidential proclamation called on the nation to support efforts to improve emergency medical care across the country. It also established the first national EMS Week, a tradition we proudly continue today. Much has changed since 1974, yet there is still much we can learn from those trailblazing professionals who helped EMS evolve into the sophisticated branch of medicine it is today. Their dedication, commitment and sacrifice inspire us to take bold steps of our own, to continue to seek out ways to better serve our patients and our communities. This year, we celebrate EMS Week by honoring our past—by taking a pause to recognize the contributions of each generation, the people who dreamed that we could save more lives and have less suffering, and then found ways to make it happen. EMS Week is never just about the past, however. It’s also about inspiring the EMS professionals just starting out and the young people who haven’t even discovered EMS yet. It’s about learning from the challenges and building on the successes of the last five decades. It’s about forging our future—a future in which the next generation has the tools they need to deliver compassionate care and alleviate suffering in communities everywhere.

That is maybe the most effective picture to point out one of our biggest challenges. We have to extend the attendance of our physician specialists (e.g. cardiologists, gastroenterologists) to provide specialist‘s care and non-urgent procedures among the longest period of the day (let’s say 7:00 a.m. - 22.00 pm). I‘m sure we will put our care on a higher level of quality, reduce costs, pushing up the capability of patient-treatments and prevent overcrowding in ED. I‘m looking foreward motivating enough colleagues to make this happen. Thanx for a great picture.

National Hospice Week is an important reminder of the value of hospice care. At Amedisys, we believe strongly in the profound impact of hospice care, recognizing it as a gift that provides comfort, dignity, support and quality time for the patient and their family during the end of life.

So important to think of how we can have the best impact in our gifts and during this holiday season.

Encouraging patients with a serious illness to enroll in palliative care for specialized, comprehensive support can improve their quality of life. Palliative care improves patients’ well-being, and in some cases it may even extend their life. Start the conversation today. Learn more about our palliative care approach. https://lnkd.in/edevQWX9
