Patient Transfer Scales a positive move for Critical Healthcare in New Zealand. Fast Accurate Weighing when it’s needed most! Medical professionals around the world know that getting an accurate weight reading quickly can help save patients' lives. Accurate weights are vital in assessing patients and safely administering medication, but until recently weighing immobile patients could be challenging, excessively time consuming or not possible at all. For patients requiring urgent immediate medical attention, this can result in weight readings being estimated or not recorded at all. The introduction of a revolutionary tool has changed all that and is now being adopted by hospitals in New Zealand.   The Marsden Patient Transfer Scale (PTS) innovatively integrates a patient weighing scale into a patient transfer board (transfer slide). It means weighing patients becomes part of the existing process of laterally transferring patients from trolley to bed or bed to bed.   When knowing the weight of a patient is crucial to the right care and treatment, the MDPTSM999 PTS embeds confidence and accuracy and can enhance patient outcomes particularly for; trauma patients in emergency departments where time is crucial, stroke patients to ensure a quick ‘door to needle’ time, plus Cardiac, ICU, HTU and X-ray patients. We appreciate New Zealand healthcare teams, their commitment to New Zealanders' wellbeing and for embedding Patient Transfer Scales in their moving and handling processes. Keen to learn more? Read about the Patient Transfer Scale (PTS), it’s development, specifications and where it’s having the greatest impact.  https://lnkd.in/gxbwHwKM #HealthScale #MedicalScale #PatientCare #AccessibleHealthcare #MedicalEquipment #Wedderburn

Fun Fact Friday: Celebrating Innovations in Hospital Medicine! Happy Friday, everyone! Today, let's explore the fascinating world of Hospital Medicine, a crucial yet often overlooked field. Did You Know? Hospital Medicine is a relatively new specialty, established in the 1990s, focused on the comprehensive care of hospitalized patients. Hospitalists, as they are called, manage patient care during the hospital stay, ensuring continuity and coordination that lead to better outcomes. Impact on Patient Care Studies show that hospitalists' involvement reduces patient stay lengths by up to 30% and significantly improves the quality of care. A Collaborative Approach Hospitalists work closely with all departments, from pharmacy to physical therapy, creating a multidisciplinary team dedicated to patient recovery. Their role is pivotal in emergency responses, routine care, and complex case management. Let's salute our dear Hospitalists led by Josiah Kwesi Halm at MDA, who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Their dedication and innovation continue to shape the future of healthcare. #HospitalMedicine #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalProfessionals #FunFactFriday #DepartmentofHospitalMedicine #DHM #MDAnderson #MDA #EndCancer #MakingCancerHistory

Talking about value-based care on the financial end of the equation, too much money is spent on chronic health conditions that can be treated or reversed with lifestyle interventions. However, models and research on the ROI of using lifestyle interventions, like the Osana Australian model, show what's possible and give promise. Delivering a positive return on investment due to its significant reduction in healthcare utilization, particularly hospital services, is a tremendous outcome for patients, insurers, employers, and taxpayers. With an estimated average hospital visit in Australia costing A$6,000, the model’s ability to lower hospital admissions and improve health outcomes translates to estimated savings of over A$9 million per annum with 6000 patients. This results in an ∼6× return on investment per annum. We need to better apportion financial resources to conditions that are not reversible, using pharmaceuticals, procedures, and hospitalizations where they are most needed. #executiveleaders #healthcaretransformation #employeehealth #womenhealthcareexecutives
