In many hospitals, staff keep track of oxygen supplies by hand, which can lead to mistakes. When there is a sudden increase in patients needing oxygen, the staff might not realize they are running out until it’s too late. This can cause patients to suffer and their families to worry. HealthPort’s digital tools automatically track oxygen levels and manage deliveries, making sure there is always enough oxygen available so doctors and nurses can focus on caring for patients without running out. #medicaloxygen #healthcaretech #healthportnigeria #digitalhealth #medicaltechnology

Many of you will have seen the Channel 4 #dispatches on the undercover experiences of the NHS and even as an acute medic, it is always a difficult watch. One area of focus was the 'fit2sit' areas that we have seen established across many A&E departments - which has meant patients are sat for hours in pain, bleeding, or feeling nauseous. It is for this reason that I diversified Emergency Role Allocation (ERA) Systems into the A&E waiting rooms to allow patients to signal they need support, enabling triage nurses and receptionists to establish better situational awareness, and reducing the amount of clinical incidents and patient complaints across the department. We are looking for a few more A&E departments to provide this software at no cost until winter, with the aim to make A&E waiting rooms and fit2sit areas safer.

Patient identification is a critical aspect of healthcare delivery. Here’s why it’s important: ☀️ Safety: Proper patient identification ensures that the correct care is provided to the right person, preventing errors like administering medication to the wrong patient or performing procedures on the wrong site. ☀️ Continuity of Care: Accurate identification allows healthcare providers to access a patient’s complete medical history, including previous diagnoses and treatments. ☀️ Legal Compliance: Proper patient identification is essential for legal and ethical reasons, ensuring data security and accuracy. ☀️ Patient Satisfaction: Efficient and accurate identification processes contribute to a positive patient experience. In summary, investing in patient ID involves continuous research, innovative designs, and transparent pricing structures, all aimed at improving patient safety and overall healthcare quality.

This study reinforces that workforce stability and staff retention is a patient safety issue. Healthcare organisations must be able to demonstrate strategies they are putting in place to reduce staff turnover. Our experience with ImproveWell goes further - effective engagement in Quality Improvement drives up staff satisfaction, healthcare quality and reduces staff churn.

Research shows that healthcare staff are exposed to hundreds of alarms per shift which can lead to staff becoming desensitised to the noise, resulting in a stressful environment for patients and a delayed alarm response by care teams. To provide a restful recovery environment for patients and enhance staff satisfaction, hospitals are leaning towards achieving a quiet environment to reduce the impact of alarm noises, enhance staff satisfaction to improve patient care. Discover the tangible impact our Responder nurse call and workflow solution has had on Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service (GCUH) by helping them foster a quiet environment in their In-patient Unit (IPU). #digitalhealth #clinicalcommunication #quietenvironment #alarmfatigue

When it comes to preventable medical errors leading to patient suffering or worse, there is a dilemma of blame that exists when building a patient harm case. Do we look at the doctors, nurses, or the system itself? It is absolutely crucial to look beyond individual blame. 🏥 Hospitals and healthcare facilities bear responsibility for providing safe, effective care processes. Many errors stem from systemic breakdowns rather than individual mistakes. 🔍 The Joint Commission has examined thousands of serious medical errors, requiring organizations to conduct Root Cause Analyses (RCAs) to identify underlying system flaws. 🔧 RCAs aim to pinpoint fundamental causes and implement corrective measures to prevent future incidents, emphasizing improved patient safety protocols and process changes. Let's work together to ensure patient safety remains our top priority. Knowledge is power, and proactive measures can save lives! 💪 #PatientSafety #RootCauseAnalysis #HealthcareImprovement #MedLegalPro

https://lnkd.in/eSPpqH7d I found this to be an interesting article. Community para medicine can be an effective tool to get healthcare to vulnerable populations. Yes there are barriers, such as scope of practice, funding, and staffing. There are benefits though, such as lowering the potential of Emergency Room visits for sometimes routine procedures. Maybe it is time to look at a different dynamic. Instead of just a two paramedic unit, staff an ambulance with two paramedics and a Physician Assistant. Depending on the area being implemented, schedule visits with patients to have routine checks. This can be beneficial to patients that have difficulty making it to doctors appointments due to transportation issues, or for those that do not have family support to get them to the doctor. This can help ease the strain on calls to 911, overflowing Emergency Rooms, especially in bigger cities. Technology can allow use of electronic medical records, to update patients charts. Now the biggest problem is going to be multiple EMR's used by different organizations. What if community para medicine programs had access and training to the EMR's used by the organizations in their communities. Yes, it is a lot of training but it allows for better continuity of care. As medicine advances, changes need to be adapted to make healthcare available to all. If this type of program can be successful, think of the impact it can make on the bigger part of the picture. If we can reduce the number of Emergency Room visits, and potentially hospital admissions, what relief would come for those that work in hospitals. This may be looked at as transferring the burden of burn out to a different sector, but with proper planning and implementation could it be feasible? #CommunityMedicine #Paramedicine #CommunityHealth #PublicHealth

In an era where budgets are finite and the demand for healthcare services is ever-increasing, how can organizations leverage innovative technologies to not only enhance operational efficiencies but also ensure that the quality of patient care is not compromised, especially in critical sectors like ambulance services? https://lnkd.in/g4AwS3Fn #ZebraTechnologies #PatientCare #PublicSafety #EmergencyResponse #EMTs
