Meet Lainey, one of our nurses who has seen the challenges patients face in traditional healthcare settings, where time is often in short supply.

Would your employees benefit from care when and how (in-person, telehealth, message, phone call) they need it and longer appointments to address all their healthcare needs. This is Lainey’s WHY she loves working for Exemplar Care as she fiercely cares for her patients. Our July NPS score was +95. The average NPS for healthcare is between +38 and +58. As you approach renewal season, consider a health plan, such as Aplos Health Plans that includes #DirectPrimaryCare or consider layering into your High Deductible or Self- Insured plan or as a stand alone option. Consider your options, so your employees can experience the difference of +95 NPS care. Happy, healthy employees increase engagement and reduce overall claims.

📉 A program that provided automated text messaging with escalation to clinical care, if needed, was not successful in reducing acute care revisits in the 30 days post-hospital discharge, according to a recent study. The study assessed a post-discharge outreach program that aimed to support patients after hospital discharge. The post-discharge period is critical for hospitalized patients. The study noted that readmissions and acute care revisits are common. Thus, healthcare provider organizations employ numerous efforts to reduce these through transitional care management programs. These programs commonly feature nurses calling patients over the telephone to identify needs post-discharge, the study stated. While phone calls are effective, they can add to nursing burdens. 💬💻 #VirtualCare #HealthTech #Telemedicine #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #HealthcareTechnology #DigitalHealth #MedicalResearch #HealthcareTrends #HealthcareIndustry #HealthcareNews #HealthcareUpdates

Same problem, different state. When I first visited hospitals in Chicago, I learned that: 1. Hospitals do NOT provide meals for outpatient care. (i.e. unless you're under the full-time care of the hospital, you do not get meals. Even if it's a 12 hour day.) 2. Nurses were using their paychecks to buy meals for patients. 3. Hungry patients tend to be angry patients. I came to Dallas and heard the same thing. We know the need for nourishment is vast and extends far beyond the hospital walls, but we have to start somewhere. If we want patients to recognize nourishment is an important part of their care then shouldn't we start at the place their care is given? Good news: we have a solution.

Big changes are on the horizon! Starting October 1, Ohio is set to adopt the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM), with an enhanced focus on respiratory care in skilled nursing facilities. This new model emphasizes patient conditions and care needs, underscoring the importance of precise documentation and superior care delivery. Steven Schabes and I will be attending the OHCA conference on May 14-15, and we’re eager to discuss how Sigma Health Rehab specialized Respiratory Program can support facilities in adapting to these standards. We look forward to exploring collaborative opportunities to enhance care under PDPM. Let’s connect at the conference to see how we can work together to navigate these changes successfully. #HealthcareReform #PDPM #RespiratoryCare #ValueBasedCare #Medicare #SkilledNursing #OHCA2024

The #ContinuingHealthcare process can be complex and confusing at an already stressful time for patients and families. Family members play an important role in the process.
