Association Between Clinic-Reported Third Next Available Appointment and Patient-Reported Access to Primary Care Timely access is one of the most interminable problems in primary care. Quality improvement efforts encourage practices to use third next available appointment (TNA) as a measure of access to physician appointments, but there has been no research to correlate this measure with patient-reported access. We used routinely collected data in a large primary care organization to examine the association between TNA and patient-reported access measures

Did you know that September 17th is International Patient Safety Day? This annual event highlights the importance of patient safety in healthcare systems worldwide. This year’s theme focuses on improving diagnosis for patient safety, with the slogan, “Get it right, make it safe!” Diagnosis is a critical part of healthcare, involving collaboration between patients and healthcare providers through consultations, tests, and reviews. However, diagnostic errors —whether delayed, missed, or incorrect—can lead to prolonged illness, disability, or even death. In Latin America, challenges around timely and accurate diagnoses are significant due to limited access to healthcare services and diagnostic tools. Strengthening healthcare infrastructure and raising awareness of diagnostic safety are essential steps toward reducing errors and improving patient outcomes. On International Patient Safety Day, healthcare professionals, patients, policymakers, and civil society are coming together to emphasize the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis in ensuring patient safety.

Memory updated 🚨 Innovative Solutions for Better Patient Care: Introducing the Heal Clinical Adverse Event Plan (AEP) 🚨 In today's evolving healthcare landscape, staying ahead of potential challenges is key to delivering top-notch patient outcomes. That's where the Heal Clinical Adverse Event PlanSM (AEP), part of our HEAL-O offering, comes into play. 🌟 Why AEP Matters: AEP is a proactive approach that helps providers address adverse events before they escalate. It digitally captures patient responses and flags potential risks in real-time, allowing healthcare teams to act swiftly. 🔑 Top Benefits: Enhanced Patient Safety: By identifying early warning signs, AEP reduces the chances of adverse events slipping through the cracks. Informed Decision-Making: Real-time data equips healthcare professionals with the insights needed to adjust treatment plans efficiently. Streamlined Workflow: Digital data collection means less paperwork and more time focused on patient care. Patient Education: AEP educates patients on recognizing symptoms, creating a more informed and engaged patient base. The result? Improved care, reduced complications, and a more efficient healthcare system. #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #DigitalHealth #AdverseEventPrevention #HealthcareTechnology
