🌟 Exciting Reflections from My First FHCA Conference! 🌟 I’m thrilled to share my experience from attending the FHCA Post-Acute Care Conference, which was my first ever trade show and conference! It was an incredible journey and I wanted to highlight a few key takeaways: 🔹 Networking Moments: Connecting with so many passionate professionals in post-acute care was truly energizing. The conversations were informative, and the potential for future collaborations has me excited about the progress we can make together. 🔹 Policy and Advocacy Insights: The sessions on policy changes and advocacy opened my eyes to how crucial it is to stay informed and involved. Understanding these shifts is vital for driving positive change in our field . 🔹 Collaborative Learning: Collaborating with amazing people like Marshal, Hannah, Joy, Rachel, and Brent was a highlight. Their insights into ShiftKey mission and the game-changing impact of OnShift were eye-opening and have given me a fresh perspective on the industry. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have attended and would love to discuss any of these topics further with those who were also at the conference or anyone interested in these areas. Let’s keep the conversation going! #FHCA2024 #HCM #Healthcareinnovation

We're excited to share the launch of the TEC Action Alliance's latest report: "Implementing TEC so we can all live gloriously ordinary lives." This action paper is a monumental step towards understanding and implementing what people truly want and need from technology-enabled care (TEC). As partners of the TEC Action Alliance, we are committed to promoting a future where TEC is not just available but is also designed and implemented in a way that makes "living gloriously ordinary lives" a reality for everyone. This report marks a pivotal step towards that future, advocating for a shift in how digital care is perceived, developed, and delivered. Get your copy of the report here ➡ https://lnkd.in/eR6zDZy7 The research, which involved examining over 100 sources and conducting nearly 50 interviews and focus groups, has successfully identified nine crucial elements people value in TEC. Following these insights, the TEC Action Alliance is calling upon local authority social care commissioners and housing providers to prioritise these nine principles in their TEC procurement processes. This approach ensures that the solutions developed are genuinely reflective of and responsive to the needs and desires of those who use them. Join us in championing this cause and ensuring that the development of TEC services truly puts the needs of people, families, and unpaid carers at the heart of every decision!

AbbVie recently participated in the livestream National Reconciliation Breakfast, hosted by Reconciliation NSW. This event served as a powerful reminder of the significance of unity and coming together as a collective. In a world that often seeks to create divisions, it is crucial to remember that there should be no "us" versus "them." We are all interconnected and it is through unity that we can truly flourish.   AbbVie, as an organisation, firmly believes in the principle of "all for one." We proudly extend these values beyond our internal operations and into the wider community, recognising that unity and reconciliation are vital for a brighter future.   National reconciliation entails acknowledging our shared history, embracing it, and collaborating to construct a future where equality and justice prevail. It involves recognising and appreciating the contributions and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, ensuring that their voices are heard and valued.   Each one of us has a role to play in shaping a better future for all Australians. Together, we can create a world where unity prevails over division, and where kindness, love, and respect guide our actions. #nationalreconciliationweek2024

It is incredibly exciting to see Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty leading the charge toward inclusivity and accessibility in the beauty industry! 💄✨ Their commitment to making makeup more user-friendly for individuals with fine motor impairments is truly commendable. As an occupational therapy doctoral student, who engages in the occupation (what OTs refer to as an "ADL", or activity of daily living) of makeup application and removal, I'm passionate about advocating for products that recognize the importance of makeup for everyone who wears it - as it is a meaningful form of self-expression and empowerment! By prioritizing inclusivity, Rare Beauty is not only setting a powerful example but also paving the way for other companies to follow suit in their product development. This meaningful change signifies a shift towards a more inclusive beauty community where all makeup lovers feel seen, valued, and empowered. Here's to more companies embracing this ethos and creating products that cater to diverse needs. Let's continue championing inclusivity and accessibility in all aspects of our lives! #InclusiveBeauty #AccessibilityMatters #RareBeauty

CULTURALLY SENSITIVE CARE Irrespective of cultural backgrounds, values, and beliefs, caregiving should be all-inclusive. As a caregiver who prioritizes high-quality care, it is essential to provide holistic care experience that respects and honors patients’ diverse backgrounds. It’s no news that honoring diversity strengthens relationships with patients and their families, which enhances quality of care. Over the course of my career as a responsive caregiver and pharmacist, my extensive training on cultural competence and sensitivity has equipped with requisite skills and knowledge to practice culturally sensitive care. More importantly, I always take a significant step toward practicing culturally sensitive care by partnering with families to learn about the care practices of patients’ home cultures, and then use this information to inform interactions and care routines. We learn to communicate and understand our world through the culture in which we live. And to continually strengthen the system of culturally sensitive care practices, it is crucial that caregivers have access to comprehensive training on cultural competence and sensitivity.
