🚀 Exciting News in Healthcare Innovation! 🔍 Our latest research, led by brilliant Dr. Sena Chae, has been published in the Journal of Nursing Scholarship! This study develops a clinical decision support framework that integrates predictive models into routine nursing practices for home healthcare patients with heart failure. 📈 Using patient data from a large home healthcare organization, our team has identified key variables predicting emergency department visits and hospitalizations. These insights would inform the design of real-time, AI-based tools that offer timely advice to healthcare clinicians, helping them make informed decisions and ultimately improving patient outcomes. 🔗 Dive into the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gAceKZXB 🌟 Special thanks to co-authors Ana Davoudi, Jiyoun Song, @Lauren Evans, Kathryn H. Bowles, Margaret McDonald V. McDonald, Yolanda Barrón, Se Hee Min, Sungho Oh, Ph.D. Oh, and Danielle Scharp for their invaluable contributions. #HealthcareInnovation #ClinicalDecisionSupport #HomeHealthCare #HeartFailure #ArtificialIntelligence #NursingResearch

👩⚕️ How does Radial work with physician-led ACOs? 👨⚕️ We’re often asked this — and today, we’re unveiling a new case study (link in comments) that shows exactly that. Our partners at CareMax, Inc. — one of the largest physician-led ACOs in the nation — are re-envisioning post-acute transitions with Radial’s AI-driven insights. Picture this: A hospitalized Medicare patient with a complex medical history. Radial Placement AI decision support automatically flags them on Day 1 for early mobilization. CareMax receives the alert, telephonically engages with the hospital team. Physical therapy activates. Nurses coordinate. Early mobilization begins, to avoid deconditioning. By discharge? Skips the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) — goes home with the right support. 👍 No need to delay hospital discharge waiting for a SNF bed to become available. It’s a win-win-win: • The patient goes home for their recovery - which is where they want to be, and where they’ll get the best outcomes • The busy hospital opens up a bed sooner, releasing pressure on the backed-up Emergency Department • CareMax succeeds under their value-based contracts As the case study illustrates: Before Radial’s Placement module and early mobilization, 23% of patients went to facility post-acute care. With early mobilization? Only 19%. A 1-in-6 reduction. 🚀 The real impact? A broader shift in thinking on how AI can transform decision-making in value-based care. Now discharge planning isn’t reactive — it’s proactive. Shorter hospital stays. Higher patient satisfaction. A bold vision for value-based care. If your ACO Care Transitions program feels stuck in the past … Let’s fix that. DM me to learn more. #ValueBasedCare #AIinHealthcare #EarlyMobilization

Are we making progress in improving the quality of healthcare? Over two decades ago, the Institute of Medicine released two seminal books on the quality of healthcare, To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm. In pulling back the covers on the gaps in quality, these two publications initiated a movement to reduce excess morbidity and mortality from the very system trying to heal. The impact was great, leading to groundbreaking innovations, many of which were spearheaded by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and similar organizations. In addition to excellent nursing care, I was pleased to see one of these innovative practices in place when a family member battling an eight year struggle with cancer was recently admitted to the hospital. Daily multidisciplinary rounding including family members is one practice recommended to improve decision making and planning, especially for complicated and seriously ill patients. The rounds are led by the lead (Attending) Physician and includes nursing, pharmacy, rehab, chaplains, and anyone having an accretive perspective on the patient.  For my very medically complicated family member, their significant other (SO) was invited to participate in the multidisciplinary rounds.  Who better to provide insight from years of being constantly present by the side of the patient both in various medical institutions and while at home, than one’s SO. Indeed, through many serious hospitalizations my family member’s SO identified many near misses in care, some of which would have been fatal. Unfortunately, when a new Attending Physician rotated in as team lead, the SO was disinvited to multidisciplinary rounds. The new Attending Physician declared that their style was to debrief the patient’s family members after rounds but not to include them. Too bad – why disinvite the person(s) who knows the totality of the patient best? No reason was given other than the Attending’s personal preference.  Although we have made progress in crossing the quality chasm, we still need to conquer the canyon of individual personalities and egos when they conflict with recommended best practices.

As healthcare leaders, we can sometimes focus on outcome measures as the solution. But what if achieving these measures doesn't actually lead to improvement in the true outcomes that we are trying to achieve? As an executive and consultant, I have seen and have held Discharge Before Noon out as a gold standard but should it be the objective? The evidence shared by Dr. Aaron Dunn and Dr. Elise Lu has made me question my belief. Hospital flow is complicated and it's time to reexamine some of the things we take for granted as "Best Practice". If you haven't started reading the Society of Hospital Medicine's "Things We Do For No Reason" series, you're missing out on an opportunity to challenge the status quo and improve patient care. #healthcareleadership #patientoutcomes #hospitalmedicine #bestpractices #hospitalists #patientflow #patientcare #patientsafety #nurses #physicians #hospitals #leanhealthcare #healthcarequality #healthcareleaders #nurseleaders #healthcareinnovation #healthcare

According to the AANP over 96% of nurse practitioners are prescribers - but does your HCP website address their unique needs? At KnowClick, we capture quant & qual insights from real site visitors in the moment so we often hear about the successes and struggles that these talented professionals experience when seeking online resources to educate themselves and support their patients. From 2013 to 2023, the number of NPs in the U.S. more than doubled - and with over a billion patient visits per year they're a key audience for any HCP product site. Check out this infographic from the AANP to learn more about the vital role NPs play in our healthcare system: https://loom.ly/6OdQyS8 #NPWeek #aanp #insight
