🌍 Let’s Make a Difference in the Dominican Republic! 🌟 Progress is being made towards expanding accessible healthcare in the Dominican Republic, but more support is still needed to reach the goal! To date, $28,181.24 has been raised—nearly a quarter of the amount needed to fund a much-needed diagnostic lab at the GO Medical Clinic in 2025. This lab will transform healthcare in the community, providing critical diagnostic services that are currently difficult for many patients to access. 🩺 Why This Matters: - Many patients face financial barriers to care. - They often must act as their own case managers, making diagnostic care far more difficult. - A diagnostic lab would allow doctors to deliver better, more timely care directly to patients. With only two weeks left to raise the remaining $100,000, every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to making this life-changing project a reality. ⏳ Make a Difference Before the Year Ends! Your one-time gift could provide the resources that transform the way care is delivered at the GO Medical Clinic. 💝 GIVE NOW 💝 https://lnkd.in/gwB3Snbn Let’s unite and help bring accessible healthcare to those who need it most.

In any #patientexperience scenario, ACCESS is number one. Agree? You're the Chief Marketing Officer at any health system USA. Your C-suite just signed a deal with private equity to move primary care to concierge medicine. Your charge is to drive conversions for people to pay $2000 to $4000+ for prime access to a physician. As CMO, you do what you are told to do. Your target audience is easy. People with the means to pay extra. In any region or location, you know who they are. Tracking and measurement is simple, too. The CFO will know how to validate this ROI. The bigger question...is this trend to shore up and protect traditional primary care the right thing to do? * Will it improve access? No * Will it lessen consumer demand for physicians? No * Does it solve health equity issues? No * Is it about 'health' or chronic disease management? No * Are patients the priority? No. They are directed to other options and urgent care if they can't afford the concierge deal. * Does it sound more like socialized medicine? Yes. (e.g. - in the UK, you can buy individual private insurance while the masses are left to the government's cumbersome national health plan.) * The 'haves' vs. the 'have nots' continues to grow? Yes * Does the provider really make any revenue? ?? * Do private equity firms fill their coffers? Yes * Do the comments in the article make you cringe? Yes, yes! As I've reported previously, the patient experience is suffering. We all talk the latest good game to solve the problem. Is this the answer? #healthcare #hospitals #primarycare #physicians #patients

“Why am I harping on authenticity and genuine patient connection?” Because it matters. Healthcare isn’t just a series of transactions or procedures; it’s about building trust, especially for those who’ve historically been underserved and overlooked. Authenticity and connection are essential for breaking down barriers, for making patients feel comfortable enough to share the real challenges they’re facing. When we strip away formalities and show up as our true selves, we create a space where patients feel safe to do the same. This isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s crucial for effective care. Authentic patient connections allow us to understand more than just symptoms. We get a clearer picture of each person’s lived experience, their social and economic struggles, and how these shape their health. A genuine approach can mean the difference between a patient who leaves feeling hopeful and one who leaves confused and unheard. And let’s be clear—authenticity isn’t just for patients. It’s equally transformative for healthcare providers. When clinicians are empowered to bring their whole selves to the job, free from outdated norms and constraints, they’re better able to connect, to empathize, and to treat each patient as a unique individual. This culture shift isn’t just beneficial; it’s necessary for a healthcare system that truly serves everyone. At The 15 White Coats, we’re on a mission to make authenticity and empathy foundational to medicine. We envision a future where doctors connect deeply with every patient and bring real compassion into every interaction.

Another insightful post from HealthTech nerds this week. Sharing their snippet below on the CMS 2025 Stars report CMS released the 2025 Medicare Advantage and Part D Star Rating, with average Star ratings falling to an average of 3.92 stars, down from 4.07 for 2024. This performance will have a meaningful impact on 2026 financials for Medicare Advantage plans, as plans receiving 4+ Stars for 2025 will receive a 5% revenue bump from CMS in 2026. CMS’s release calls out two distinctions in plans that have drastically different performance: **For-profit vs not-for-profit status: 50% of non-profit contracts are 4+ Stars, while only 36% of for-profit contracts are 4+ Stars **Tenure in MA: Only 28% of contracts that have been around less than five years achieved 4+ Stars. This increases to 37% for contracts between five and ten years old, and 47% for contracts older than ten years https://lnkd.in/eehXm_Hy

Only 18% of Americans trust the #healthcare system to put their wellbeing ahead of profits. The nation's #nonprofit #hospice organizations believe that -- by placing people over profits -- community-based, mission-driven organizations can offer a new narrative of what healthcare can and should be. https://lnkd.in/eHGscCZe
