Reaching both referring #physicians and #patients is crucial to capture all potential new patients for your practice. Each referral source requires a different message and a different strategy to reach them effectively. How is your practice trying to reach and influence them? #healthcare https://lnkd.in/gWyPCMU7

Triage Methods - how good are they? To beat the waiting lists, nowadays most practices are using new tools to triage patients. Thanks to the spirit of human ingenuity and innovation, there are lots out there! But I wonder, have these been evaluated? And are these new methods in line with what the patients want? I know more and more practices are now using WhatsApp-like conversations with people to "treat them”. Is this something I would want....certainly not. Even as a proud primary care practitioner, I am sad that our care is being almost reduced, to this way. Consider our ageing population, most of them who need access to a GP need to see them in person, and not through an SMS or video call. I agree a lot of issues can be dealt with via message phone call but in general, it's a very small amount. I am also unsure of whether certain new methods are effective - I am also seeing patients having to fill out forms which take them 30 minutes, and then for the clinical to read and respond, it takes another 30 - surely this takes much longer than a traditional face to face question? I’ve always maintained that systems and processes should be streamlined. There is a place for triage systems in primary care, but we should not depend on it entirely. It could cause issues in the future, especially patient safety. What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments below! #primarycare #triage #NHS

Today is National #HealthcareDecisionsDay, a day dedicated to educating and empowering the public and healthcare providers about the importance of advance care planning. In the absence of an advanced directive, medical personnel rely on family members to determine what a patient's wishes might be. Family members also often struggle to make these difficult decisions. However, many of these difficult decisions can be avoided with advanced planning. 📹 Erica Schockett, MD, System Division Chief for Palliative Care and Geriatric Medicine at Inova, shares why your decision matters. "We want to honor what matters most to you. So it's important to put your wishes in writing," she said. Watch! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gQC6HbSf #advancecareplanning #advancedirective

💡 Did You Know? Over 10 million Americans are living with lymphedema, but there’s only 1 Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) for every 1,000 patients. This startling gap in care highlights an urgent need for more healthcare professionals trained in lymphedema management. As a CLT with over a decade of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how proper care transforms lives. Becoming a CLT doesn’t just add a credential—it provides the skills to: ✔️ Empower patients to take control of their health. ✔️ Reduce complications like infections and hospitalizations. ✔️ Offer essential support in underserved communities. If you’re a healthcare professional looking to make a meaningful impact, consider this opportunity to bridge the gap and change lives. Patients deserve accessible and effective care, and you can be part of the solution. ➡️ Let’s connect if you’d like to learn more about the importance of certified lymphedema care or how to get involved. Together, we can close the gap and create better outcomes for millions of patients. #LymphedemaAwareness #HealthcareLeadership

While inpatient care can be helpful for many patients, leaving and transitioning to a “real world” environment can be quite difficult. Many people struggle with the realities they are faced with, including the stressors, temptations, and triggers that await them. Being reintroduced to work and family life can be challenging, and many people need a little extra support in this transitionary phase. Front Door Health offers inpatient transition services that help those in inpatient recovery treatment to transition into the “real world.” We provide in-home treatment services that allow you to adapt to your environment while still receiving the higher level of care that you need. If you are graduating from inpatient treatment soon and would like a bridge to in-home recovery, reach out to Front Door Health today! https://lnkd.in/g7DhG4-f #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #substanceusedisorder #addiction #addictiontreatment #addictionrecovery #mentalhealthmatters #frontdoorhealth #inhometreatment #recoveryispossible #selflove #drugrecovery #medicaldetox #medicaldetoxification #frontdoorhealth #frontdoorhealthcenter #alcoholism #alcoholabuse #alcoholaddictiontreatment #sober #sobriety
