Valleywise Health Foundation’s Post

As I reflect this Thanksgiving, I'm struck by the profound transformation happening in healthcare. 🦋 Every day I connect with brilliant health professionals who share a common story - feeling trapped in a system that prioritizes profits over healing, drowning in student debt, and watching their patients struggle without real solutions. But there's a powerful shift happening. In 2023-24, I've witnessed doctors and practitioners: • Launch successful Functional Medicine practices • Scale their business while working less • Deliver breakthrough patient outcomes • Reclaim their passion for medicine The future of healthcare isn't in overcrowded clinics or 7-minute patient visits. It's in empowered practitioners who: ✓ Practice medicine aligned with their values ✓ Build location-independent businesses ✓ Transform lives through root-cause solutions ✓ Create generational wealth while healing others To every healthcare professional feeling stuck: You have the power to change everything. Your healing gifts are needed now more than ever. Grateful to be part of this revolution in medicine. 🙏 #HealthcareInnovation #FunctionalMedicine #PhysicianEntrepreneur #MedicineEvolved

In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the unexpected deterioration of a hospital patient can present daunting challenges for both medical professionals and families alike. It is during these critical moments that the significance of patient rescue becomes abundantly clear. From the perspective of physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers, swift and effective intervention is imperative to ensure the best possible outcome. However, the role of the patient's family in such situations is equally crucial. Empowered with knowledge and equipped with effective communication strategies, families can play a pivotal role in advocating for their loved ones and contributing to the overall success of rescue efforts. The World Patients Alliance is pleased to organize a webinar titled “The Deteriorating Patient: When a hospital patient unexpectedly goes downhill, what can families do?" on March 28, 2024, at 8 AM ET. Join us as we delve into the importance of patient rescue from the physician's perspective, explore real-life patient stories, introduce Martha's Rule as a guiding principle, analyze the current state of rapid response protocols, and discuss the critical role of families in effectively communicating concerns

We’re thrilled to announce that we have secured funding from the BSW Research Hub for our pioneering project on enhancing intimacy support for patients and their partners during palliative and end of life care. This significant funding, awarded under the Research Capability Funding (RCF), will facilitate critical research aimed at improving our understanding and addressing this complex area. The project looks at intimacy at end of life and will help to: 💡 Better understand patient and partner experiences 💡 Identify care needs 💡 Uncover barriers to discussing intimacy 💡 Develop strategies to better support healthcare professionals in addressing these needs, ultimately enhancing the quality of end of life care Qualitative interviews with Dorothy House patients, partners and bereaved partners began in May 2023, and interviews with healthcare professionals commenced in October 2023, laying the groundwork for this research. The RCF funding will facilitate the extension of qualitative interviews across various hospices within the region, broadening the scope to capture diverse perspectives on intimacy needs from patients, partners, bereaved partners and healthcare professionals. Our long-term aim is to develop an educational intervention to inform and train healthcare professionals and the wider healthcare community to feel more confident in discussing intimacy needs with partners and their partners towards the end of life. This research will enable hospices to improve the effectiveness of services benefitting the health and wellbeing of patients and their partners. Beyond this phase of research will be aspirations to secure future funding to expand this work to include a more national outlook.
