It was great to work with Charlie Cornford and Claire Crawford to write about this interesting development in the procurement world. In this article, we look into what the Braceurself decision could mean for both authorities and tenderers.

Stop the Gutting of US Healthcare Ownership of medical care, including doctors, is being gobbled up by for-profit private equity and huge insurance companies. Corporate run healthcare is the worst thing that can happen to already ailing US medical services. Getting an appointment is getting harder (wasn’t very good before), errors are increasing, costs ballooning, and doctors (and nurses) are fleeing clinical care https://lnkd.in/eGjfv-NB Decisions about your medical care are not made for you but by for-profit corporate CEOs and MBAs to fatten their bottom line. There are 3 actions we (forget the paralyzed federal govt) can use to stop corporate healthcare before it bleeds us dry. These actions are by patients & families, doctors and nurses, and the courts (but not malpractice or litigation). Take a listen to Dr. Graham Taylor interview me on Behavioral Health Today- https://lnkd.in/e4mrtxPn #BHT #grahamtaylor #peterfender #doctors #nurses #hospitals #profit #medicalquality #healthcare #medicalcare #healthinsurance #healthbenefits #priorapproval #denials #medicalerrors #insuranceceos #upcoding #fraud #burnout #moralinjury #medicalworkforce

Imagine health care that proactively reaches you, removes access barriers, and prioritizes your well-being. This is the vision behind Neighborhood Nursing, a pilot program in Baltimore led by Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. With the community focus, teams visit residents in their homes, apartments, or community centers, offering preventive care and health education. The holistic approach focuses on individual needs, whether managing chronic conditions or finding safe housing. A thing I admire about this model is it's open to everyone regardless of insurance status, aiming to bridge health care disparities. Replicating this success in the complex US health care system with its fragmented financing and bureaucratic hurdles is one of the biggest challenges left in the translation. #Healthcare #Wellness #Patients

https://lnkd.in/gER7bCQa https://lnkd.in/gP4UPv_F More than nine in 10 physicians (94%) report care delays while waiting for insurers to authorize necessary care, and 80% say prior authorization can lead to treatment abandonment. One-third (33%) of physicians report that prior authorization has led to a serious adverse event. This includes hospitalization (25%) or disability or even death (9%) for a patient in their care. Meanwhile, 31% of physicians report that prior authorization criteria are rarely or never evidence-based, with 89% saying prior authorization has a negative impact on patients’ clinical outcomes. The AMA’s position Prior authorization is overused, costly, inefficient, opaque and responsible for patient care delays. That’s why we’re standing up to insurance companies to eliminate care delays, patient harm and practice hassles, and why fixing prior authorization is a critical component of the AMA Recovery Plan for America’s Physicians. #Hawaii #healthcare #nurses #doctors #APRN #PA

HHS Office for Civil Rights Imposes a Civil Monetary Penalty on New Jersey Nursing Facility for Failing to Provide Timely Access to Patient Records Essex Residential Care, LLC, to pay $100,000 after failing to comply with HIPAA Right of Access Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office for Civil Rights (OCR), announced a $100,000 civil monetary penalty against Essex Residential Care, LLC, doing business as Hackensack Meridian Health, West Caldwell Care Center (“Hackensack Meridian Health”), a skilled nursing facility that provides long-term care and rehabilitation services. OCR investigated Hackensack Meridian Health under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule for failing to provide a patient’s personal representative with timely access to the patient’s medical records. To avoid similar penalties and elevate patient and family engagement, it's imperative to adopt comprehensive systems such as Instachart. Instachart simplifies the process of sharing records, ensuring adherence to HIPAA regulations and promoting improved communication with families. This approach not only facilitates regulatory compliance but also substantially enhances the quality of care and family satisfaction. To ensure your facility remains compliant and advances in resident care, consider integrating Instachart into your organization.

Buncombe County, North Carolina, has filed to join Attorney General Josh Stein's lawsuit against HCA Healthcare's Mission Health takeover, citing deteriorating emergency department (ED) wait times and the financial burden placed on its EMS crews. Despite requests to expedite care, wait times at Mission Hospital rose significantly. Buncombe County seeks over $3 million in damages, alleging that HCA failed to address these issues until after legal action was taken. This adds to the growing legal challenges against HCA, with other municipalities in North Carolina also pursuing litigation over the Mission Health acquisition. In 2022, class-action complaints were filed, accusing HCA of exploiting its monopoly power. A federal judge denied HCA's motion to dismiss the litigation in February, highlighting the ongoing legal battles over the healthcare giant's practices and acquisitions. This development highlights HCA Healthcare's alleged failure to meet quality standards post-acquisition, affecting patient care. Our team ensures patient protection by monitoring quality metrics, advocating for timely care, and supporting legal actions to hold healthcare providers accountable for maintaining standards and addressing deficiencies promptly.
