The Washington Post: From the ER to your house: Why hospitals are treating patients at home Fenit Nirappil The hospital-at-home movement has proliferated during the past decade, reshaping how acute care is delivered and health systems are financed. But nurses and others raise concerns about whether health companies will shutter or gut hospitals and deprive patients of regular, immediate in-person care. If Congress does not act before the end of the year, patients cared for #athome through these programs must be discharged or returned to the hospital on December 31, 2024. https://lnkd.in/gGzqPWJU

What do patients REALLY want from healthcare? The Beryl Institute says there are three main things patients care about the most: ✅ 93.3% – “I need my treatment to be safe” ✅ 92.9% – “Explain things in a way I can understand” ✅ 92.2% – “Give me the right treatment for my needs” These are very important—more so than getting better, being treated nicely, or being in a clean place. A mom rushes in with her 6-year-old who has a fever: "Is he going to be okay?" she asks, very worried. 💔 Nurse: "You're in safe hands. We've got this." (Safety ✅) Doctor: "It's an infection. Here’s what we’ll do." (Clear Communication ✅) The medicine works, the fever goes down. The mom feels relieved. (Right Care ✅) Are your teams meeting what patients care about most? Or are we too focused on ticking boxes? #PatientExperience #HealthcareQuality #Leadership #TrustInCare

Timely diagnosis is crucial for correct treatment because it enables healthcare providers to identify the root cause of an illness early on, ensuring that appropriate interventions are given before the condition worsens. Delayed or incorrect diagnosis can lead to complications, prolonged suffering, or hospital ALOS . Making early detection a key component of effective care and patient safety. #worldPatientSafetyDay #Safety #PatientSafety
