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

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

A report out this month from our partners at America's Essential Hospitals highlights the outsize role played by safety net hospitals in the U.S. – and the outsize financial challenges they face. In 2022, essential hospitals: ·        Accounted for only 5 percent of acute-care hospitals nationwide, but 28 percent of the nation’s charity care; ·        Provided nearly $23 billion in uncompensated and under-reimbursed care; and ·        Sustained an average operating loss of −9%, compared with −2.8% at other U.S. hospitals. At Oakwell, we are proud to work with essential hospitals across the country, including Boston Medical Center (BMC), to drive investment and savings that can be plowed back into patient care and long-term sustainability. We approach sustainability as a set of financial, environmental, and community imperatives that are mutually-reinforcing. This integrated approach is doubly important for hospitals filling an essential need in urban and rural communities across the country - serving those with few or no other options for care. #healthcaresustainability #essentialhospitals https://lnkd.in/gtZr6C4Q

Another hit to healthcare access in Georgia. The services of Good Sam grow more critical by the day. And if even Walmart struggles to sustain the operations of such services, you can imagine what it takes to continue the #goodwork here. But we figure it out, year after year, and we're grateful to those who make it possible to do so. Supporting the nonprofit organizations who stand in the gap for our citizens is the most sustainable way forward. https://lnkd.in/eJkiGvTM
