𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆. This day of action aims to raise awareness about the importance of eye health. Medical personnel, especially ophthalmologists, play a crucial role in this as they are responsible for diagnosing and treating eye diseases. The use of oil-free compressed air in medical equipment for #ophthalmology is important, e.g. for medical compressed air in anaesthesia or for compressed air supply during #phaco and #vitrectomy in ophthalmic surgery. Dürr Technik's oil-free compressors assist the clinician during eye surgery and contribute to patient safety. https://lnkd.in/ewgMgUy8 #duerrtechnik #compressor #worldsightday

High readmission rates following ileostomy surgery are often due to dehydration, complications with stoma care, and a lack of proper patient education. Research shows that providing timely expert support can significantly reduce these rates. By connecting patients to ostomy specialists, healthcare providers can address issues early on, improving outcomes and reducing costly readmissions. #WoundCare #OstomyCare #HealthcareInnovation #ReadmissionPrevention

🚨 Exciting insights from #AAO2024! 🚨 Ophthalmologists gathered in Chicago to tackle the future of eye care. A trending topic was the use of oral sedation for ophthalmic procedures to combat the projected 30% shortage of anesthesia providers in the next decade. 🏥✨ Key highlights: Oral Sedation Benefits: Studies show that mild sedation for cataract surgery enhances safety, results in less patient movement/better cooperation, and also improves patient experience—lower anxiety, quicker recovery, and no fasting required. Surgeon Control: In OBS, the surgeon decides the appropriate anesthesia level for each patient, ensuring personalized care. Patient-Centric Approach: Less medical stress, familiar environment, and a comforting atmosphere lead to better outcomes. Join the conversation and tell us how you are navigating through the anesthesia provider shortage. 👁️💡 #Ophthalmology #PatientCare #OralSedation #SurgeryInnovation #OfficeBasedSurgery https://bit.ly/4flPVI2

A study published on November 13 2024 in BMJ entitled “Safety of inpatient care in surgical settings: cohort study” concluded: “Adverse events were identified in more than one third of patients admitted to hospital for surgery, with nearly half of the events classified as major and most potentially preventable. These findings emphasize the critical need for ongoing improvement in patient safety, involving all health professionals, throughout perioperative care.” [READ MORE] https://lnkd.in/ebCBA8pb

The study in our newsletter suggests that improving communication and maintaining updated training for anesthesiologists can enhance patient safety in the ASC environment. For Healthcare Administrators, this is important in several areas including risk management, resource allocation, compliance, and quality of care. Enhancing patient outcomes in ASCs strengthens an organization’s reputation and adherence to value-based models. Partnering with anesthesiologists to educate patients on what to expect before, during and after surgery helps reduce anxiety for the patient, improve adherence to post-op care instructions, and higher patient satisfaction — all of which align to VBC principles. #ACPM #valuebasedcare #valuebasedhealthcare #ASC #healthcareadministrators #patientsafety

The word for the day from our #HealthTechDictionary is: Endotracheal Intubation (EI) Endotracheal intubation (EI) is an emergency procedure that's often performed on people who are unconscious or who can't breathe on their own.
