A review confirms better access to care should be a key priority. Health New Zealand's released a Clinical Quality and Safety Review using data from the past decade. It reveals the number of people waiting more than four months to see a specialist tripled between 2020 and 2023. Royal College of GPs Medical Director Luke Bradford told Mike Hosking fewer people are also choosing not to access care, especially since Covid. He's concerned there's been a drop off in immunisations and cancer screenings. However, there is a belief the quality of care is getting better despite taking longer to access it. Bradford says there's been a decrease in surgical complications and better experiences had by patients in the system. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Access to timely primary and hospital healthcare has significantly deteriorated. Health New Zealand's released a Clinical Quality and Safety Review - using data from the past decade. It reveals numbers of people waiting more than four months to see a specialist tripled between 2020 and 2023. Chief clinical officer Richard Sullivan says Covid played a role and numbers are stabilising. But he says there's a long way to go. He also explained one target is 95 percent of patients waiting less than four months - but we're on about 60 percent, so improving that is a big focus.

One topic that I don't think is talked about enough with expecting and new mothers (or people in general) is pelvic floor health. In my opinion, pelvic floor health should be considered as a form of self-care and a part of us taking care of our overall health. I can't even tell you the number of people I have met who weren't totally sure what their pelvic floor is, what it does, how it affects them, and that everyone has one. And when a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth to her baby, these are the times when she might experience some problems with her pelvic floor and wishes she had known more about her changing body and had support. Whether you had a vaginal birth or cesarean birth, your body has done some hard, amazing work. Our guest today, Liz Miracle, knows all about this since she has supported hundreds of women as a pelvic floor physical therapist. Today, she is sharing her tips on how to best take care of our bodies after childbirth, including our pelvic floors. Who is Liz Miracle? Liz Miracle, PT, MPT, WCS is the Head of Clinical Quality and Education at Origin, the leading provider of physical therapy for maternity, menopause, and sexual health, with deep expertise in the pelvic floor and full body. Liz is a Texas native and graduate of Texas Woman's University School of Physical Therapy. She began practicing pelvic floor physical therapy in 2006 and has since received her Clinical Specialization in Women's Health from the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties. After running her own practice for a decade, she was excited to join Origin Physical Therapy, where she works to implement the highest standards of evidence-based care and help train the next generation of pelvic floor therapists. When not exploring innovative ways to help her patients, she is at home hiking the hills in the North Bay of San Francisco with her husband and daughter. What Did We Discuss?

Synopsis: Every first and third Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. Organ donation usually takes place after brain death, which is when there is total and irreversible loss of brain function. A patient with brain death cannot breathe on his own, and cannot recover, but his organs may still function for some time as he is supported on a ventilator. This is when conversations on organ donations typically take place. In this episode, ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo speaks with Associate Professor Tan Hui Ling, the Assistant Chairman of the Medical Board, Clinical Quality and Audit, and a senior consultant at the Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Pain Medicine department at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) to find out more about the organ donation process and address some of the concerns that people may have about it. At TTSH, Prof Tan spearheaded a programme to train the multi-disciplinary ICU teams (doctors, nurses, medical social workers) on the management of brain death and organ donation.

Synopsis: Every first and third Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. Organ donation usually takes place after brain death, which is when there is total and irreversible loss of brain function. A patient with brain death cannot breathe on his own, and cannot recover, but his organs may still function for some time as he is supported on a ventilator. This is when conversations on organ donations typically take place. In this episode, ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo speaks with Associate Professor Tan Hui Ling, the Assistant Chairman of the Medical Board, Clinical Quality and Audit, and a senior consultant at the Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Pain Medicine department at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) to find out more about the organ donation process and address some of the concerns that people may have about it. At TTSH, Prof Tan spearheaded a programme to train the multi-disciplinary ICU teams (doctors, nurses, medical social workers) on the management of brain death and organ donation. She was the director of TTSH's neurological Intensive Care Unit and chair of the hospital's Brain Death and Organ Donation Taskforce from 2010 to 2018. Prof Tan was awarded the National Healthcare Group's Distinguished Achievement Award this year for her various contributions.

Cardiovascular events make up some of the most dangerous and time-sensitive conditions that get treated in the emergency room and hospital at large. For this reason, they make up a significant proportion of malpractice suits concerning cardiac care An LNC needs to be deeply familiar with all aspects of cardiovascular and treatment. She or he must know what results are unavoidable and which are preventable. Here to explain some of the most critical elements of cardiovascular care is Lailen Baua, an LNC with broad experience in many aspects of clinical care. Time is a critical factor. In some cases, delays are beyond a hospital team's control, such as those caused by distance from a well-equipped hospital or traffic delays. Lailan says that ideally it should be no more than two hours before a cardiovascular patient is receiving appropriate treatment, such as a balloon angioplasty. Errors in the administration of these procedures can also be potential sources for malpractice. Misdiagnosis is also a factor in disability and death from a cardiac event. Too many people are diagnosed with a digestive issue and sent home, where they have heart attacks. Lailen's explanations and descriptions will help to guide you in analyzing a cardiovascular case. Be sure to take the opportunity to review this valuable podcast. Join me in this episode of Legal Nurse Podcast to learn about Cardiac care - when seconds count - Lailen Baua What are cardiovascular quality measures? What is “pay for performance”? How can cardiovascular treatment become the basis for a malpractice suit? Why are cardiac procedures such as stents often dangerous and occasions for malpractice suits? Why is speed so important in cardiovascular cases?

"It certainly has ignited some sort of telemedicine and remote monitoring revolution; I think we'll look back in 10 years and say, well, that's really when things ramped up and changed" This piece is an engaging look at "connected health"; how are new technologies bringing world class experts straight to patients both safely, effectively and at a scale which was previously unimaginable? What are the drawbacks from both the perspective of patient and practitioner? Has the acceleration of these processes - caused by COVID19 restrictions - been a good thing or is it causing some people to be left behind? Presented by Desiree Chappell, VP Clinical Quality for NorthStar Anaesthesia and Monty Mythen, Smiths Medical Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, with John Whittle, consultant anesthetist, critical care physician and perioperative medicine physician and Honorary Associate Professor of perioperative medicine at University College London, Imogen Fecher-Jones, lead nurse for perioperative medicine and pre assessment services at University of Southampton Hospital, Betty Jo Rocchio, CRNA and Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer, Mercy Health in the US, Sam Ajizian, CMO for patient monitoring, Vice President of Global clinical research and medical science for patient monitoring respiratory interventions at Medtronic and, as patient advocate, Neil Johnson, Chief Executive of the Croi, Heart and Stroke Centre, The National Institute for Prevention and Cardiovascular Health and The Global Heart Hub, Ireland.
The first TOGA Podcast for 2022 is about the need for a national clinical quality registry in lung cancer. A/Professor Emily Stone, the Deputy Chair of TOGA, is a Respiratory Physician, Senior Staff Specialist and Head of Thoracic Medicine within the Department of Thoracic Medicine and Lung Transplantation at St Vincent's Hospital Sydney. She is a conjoint Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales and the Chair of the St Vincent's Hospital Lung Cancer Multidisciplinary Team. Emily is joined by Professor Rob Stirling, Respiratory Physician from the Alfred and Monash University who is the lead for the Victorian Lung Cancer Registry (VLCR) and also Professor Fraser Brims, Respiratory Physician from Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Curtin University Medical School and Institute of Medical Health.The high burden of disease and poor outcomes in lung cancer necessitate provision of optimal and timely care to ensure the best possible outcomes for people with lung cancer. A national clinical quality registry will reduce unwarranted variation in care by benchmarking performance and evaluate strategies designed to improve care, such as the expected lung cancer screening program. Registries are not just about collecting data. Examples of varied care in lung cancer and a vision of what a clinical quality process should look like for lung cancer is explored in this podcast, together with an urgent call to action to demand funding for a national Clinical Quality Registry for lung cancer.

In episode three of our Workforce Resiliency mini season, Just Science continues our conversation with Dr. Cara Berg Raunick, a women's health nurse practitioner and the Director of Clinical Quality and Advancement at Health Care Education and Training, on vicarious trauma experienced by sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs). On last week's episode, Dr. Berg Raunick discussed the realities of vicarious trauma, its effect on SANEs, and how those effects – anxiety and depression, for example – can hinder SANEs from providing critical care to survivors of sexual violence. Listen along as Dr. Berg Raunick continues detailing her research methods and findings on vicarious trauma among SANEs in this episode of Just Science. This season is funded by the National Institute of Justice's Forensic Technology Center of Excellence.
In episode two of our Workforce Resiliency mini season, Just science sat down with Dr. Cara Berg-Raunick, a women's health nurse practitioner and the Director of Clinical Quality and Advancement at Health Care Education & Training, to discuss vicarious trauma experienced by Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs). Vicarious trauma – the cognitive changes someone experiences after witnessing traumatic events – affects nurse examiners profoundly, particularly those providing care in the aftermath of sexual violence. According to Dr. Berg-Raunick, the ramifications of SANEs experiencing vicarious trauma could be devastating to the practice of medical forensic examination. Listen along as Dr. Berg-Raunick discusses her journey through anti-sexual violence practice, the effects of vicarious trauma in her own life, and her research findings in this two-part episode of Just Science. This season is funded by the National Institute of Justice's Forensic Technology Center of Excellence.
Francesca Rinaldo MD Ph.D. is the Director of Clinical Quality and Innovation at Sharecare, a health and wellness engagement platform. Their SmartOmix solution allows researchers to build, launch, manage and analyze data from clinical studies using a participant-centric mobile application that leverages all the technological components of a smartphone including text-based reporting, photo, video, and audio samples. Francesca explains, "So, in my opinion, the future of clinical research is really three things: it's decentralized, it's digital-first, and it's widely inclusive. So, I think technology will impact researchers, patients, and doctors and a number of different ways. It will impact researchers because it will give them access to data that will provide a much more comprehensive view of health and wellness, as well as how disease trajectories change for study participants." "It will also impact patients because it will accelerate the cycle from research to care, fast-track insights, and novel approaches to therapy or new drugs into the system for participants. And as we said before, it will also decrease many barriers for patients to participate in clinical research and increase the validity of the evidence generated because the research will be conducted in much more diverse populations of patients." @SharecareInc #Sharecare #AI #ClinicalResearch #FutureisDigitalHealth #FutureofHealthcare #FutureofClinicalResearch #AIinHealth #TechinHealthcare #VirtualCare #Telemedicine #PatientCentric #HybridHealthcare #AllTogetherBetter Sharecare.com Download the transcript here

WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Date: March 22, 2018 Featuring: Mary Tinetti, MD, Gladys Phillips Crofoot Professor of Medicine (Geriatrics) and Professor, Institution for Social and Policy Studies; Section Chief, Geriatrics (co-chair) Marie Cleary-Fishman, BSN, MS, MBA, CPHQ, CPPS, CHCQM, Vice President, Clinical Quality, Health Research & Educational Trust (AHA) J. Michelle Moccia, DNP, ANP-BC, CCRN, Program Director, Senior Emergency Center, St. Mary Mercy Hospital (Trinity Health) Belinda Dokic, CPht, BA, MBA, Quality Performance Improvement Leader, St. Mary Mercy Hospital (Trinity Health) Preventing injuries from falls, especially among the elderly, has been a flagship issue for health care quality improvement and patient safety for nearly two decades. The complications that can follow broken bones at an advanced age, most notably a broken hip, can literally be deadly. This reality, numerous programs, and reporting requirements have kept falls prevention front and center across the health care continuum. Now a new initiative wants to emphasize the physical and mental health benefits of mobility, and encourage greater mobility for older patients in conjunction with falls prevention, as part of a broadening vision of "age-friendly" care. We explored what this looks like in practice, starting with the hospital setting, on the March 22 episode of WIHI: Mobility Matters for Age-Friendly Care.
Clinical quality improvement is a hot topic in today’s health care marketplace. For organizations looking to prioritize improved clinical outcomes, data analytics is paramount to success. In this episode of The Cerner Podcast, we're joined by Brian Kay, director of clinical effectiveness at Rogers Memorial Hospital, a behavioral health care hospital in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. Rogers offers inpatient, residential, partial-hospitalization and intensive outpatient services for behavioral health conditions. Brian discusses some of the challenges and successes he’s encountered on the path to clinical quality improvement in the health care industry.
WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Date: November 17, 2011 Featuring: Helen Osborne, MEd, OTR/L, President, Health Literacy Consulting; Author, Health Literacy from A to Z Gail A. Nielsen, BSHCA, Director, Learning and Innovation, Center for Clinical Transformation, Iowa Health System; Faculty, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Lisa M. Stevens, MSHSA, Director of Clinical Quality, Crusader Community Health In its 2004 report, "Health Literacy: A Prescription to End Confusion," the Institute of Medicine defined health literacy as “the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, communicate, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.” Seven years later, the field of health literacy has exploded into something far beyond this most basic description. There are legions of health literacy advocates and initiatives; innovative, creative, and culturally attuned resources; a much greater emphasis on empowerment and engagement rather than mere compliance; and a far greater understanding — helped along by research — of the health consequences of low health literacy.We wouldn’t be able to recount such progress without the hard work of champions like Helen Osborne, who has just released the second edition of Health Literacy from A to Z: Practical Ways to Communicate Your Health Message. Helen discusses how this latest edition can serve as the backbone for any health care organization’s efforts to communicate and engage more effectively with patients of diverse backgrounds and health care fluency.WIHI host Madge Kaplan also welcomes to the program former IHI Fellow and Iowa patient safety leader, Gail Nielsen, who has been working hard on health literacy for years, with a special emphasis on improving patient/provider partnerships, shared decision making, and care coordination. Together with Lisa Stevens, a quality expert from Illinois focused on cultural competency, Helen and Gail discuss where and how health literacy efforts stand to benefit from health care reform and what it’s going to take to close communication gaps that still remain for millions of Americans.
WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Date: February 7, 2013 Featuring: Trissa Torres, MD, MSPH, Senior Vice President, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Xavier Sevilla, MD, MBA, FAAP, Vice President of Clinical Quality for Physician Services, Catholic Health Initiatives Lindsay A. Martin, MSPH, Executive Director and Improvement Advisor, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Randy Van Straten, Vice President Business Health, Bellin Health; Executive Director Bellin Run US employers have had a lot to say about health care costs the past several years. Large and small companies alike have openly complained about the apparently inexorable rise in health care spending, skyrocketing insurance rates, and the degree to which both trends have threatened bottom lines, restrained wages, and eroded benefits for employees.Some of the most vocal businesses have been determined to remedy the situation by exercising their purchasing clout to get better deals from insurers and by shifting more costs and co-pays onto the workforce. The most enlightened have also ramped up their wellness programs. But these “solutions” are short-term at best, and efforts to encourage employees to get to the gym and adopt healthier lifestyles are proving insufficient. So, what to do instead?This WIHI discusses what promises to be the next wave of employer engagement in improving health and controlling health care costs in the US. This involves taking a deeper dive into the underlying, often chronic health conditions affecting today’s employees. And, in a growing number of cases, partnering and learning from health care delivery organizations working on the very same issues — heavy health care utilization and high costs — with their own staff.WIHI host Madge Kaplan welcomes IHI’s Trissa Torres and Lindsay Martin, who have the big picture of these exciting new developments. Also joining the discussion are leaders from Bellin Health Care Systems, Catholic Health Initiatives, and other places that are “walking the talk” with their own employees. Among other things, these providers are redesigning systems to deliver better care and better value to the community and all those paying the bills: employers, public and private insurers, and patients themselves.
WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Date: June 27, 2013 Featuring: Ann Hendrich, RN, PhD, FAAN, Senior Vice President, Clinical Quality and Safety; CNO; Executive Director, Patient Safety Organization (PSO), Ascension Health Deborah Morris Nadzam, PhD, RN, BB, FAAN, Project Director, JCR Partnership for Patients Hospital Engagement Network Katherine Luther, RN, MPM, Vice President, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Libby Hoy, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Patient & Family Centered Care Partners (Long Beach, CA) When it comes to patient safety and reducing harm, one of the biggest challenges US hospitals face day-to-day is how to maintain a relentless focus on everything that needs to be improved and worked on, simultaneously. Building reliable systems, engaging leaders, insisting on a team-based culture, and ensuring that staff has the necessary improvement skills have become essential underpinnings at every organization. So has joining up with something larger — to keep the pressure on, commit to stretch goals, and benefit from coaching and continuous learning. The Partnership for Patients, launched by the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in April 2011, is attempting to be that “something larger” for some 3,700 hospitals that have signed on to reduce nine hospital-acquired conditions by 40% and hospital readmissions by 20% by December 2013. What does this sprint look like from the vantage point of the 26 Hospital Engagement Networks (HENS) that form the backbone of the initiative? On this WIHI, we check in with two HENS — Ascension Health and Joint Commission Resources, Inc. Ann Hendrich and Deborah Nadzam are our invaluable informants, along with Libby Hoy, who’s playing a crucial role embedding patient engagement into every hospital’s safety work. IHI’s Kathy Luther also shares her perspective on what we’re learning about reducing harm from this ambitious initiative. At one level, the Partnership for Patients is about doing all the right things to protect patients from a list of hospital-acquired conditions and avoidable readmissions. But as you’ll find out on this WIHI, if the improvements are going to be lasting, hearts and minds have to change, too.
WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Date: February 27, 2014 Featuring: Laurie Herndon, MSN, GNP-BC, Director of Clinical Quality, Massachusetts Senior Care Foundation David Gifford, MD, MPH, Senior Vice President, Quality and Regulatory Affairs, American Health Care Association Annette Crawford, Administrator, Stafford Healthcare at Ridgemont Marie Schall, Director, Institute for Healthcare Improvement In the world of health care improvement, and in society at large, talking about skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and long-term can be a tough subject. When a loved one moves in to a nursing home, they’re usually quite elderly, and it's often the last move they'll make of this kind before dying. So, whether because of this association or because other sectors of health care tend to get more attention, the hard work that’s going on to ensure that all types of SNFs, and nursing homes, deliver high-quality and patient-centered care, has been somewhat obscured. We’d like to help change this by zeroing in on one aspect of the work. This WIHI looks at new developments with better coordination and communication between SNFs, local hospitals, and various community stakeholders, to reduce unnecessary transfers of patients to acute care settings. These avoidable admissions or readmissions can come from short-term-stay SNFs or long-term ones, from assisted living residences or rehab facilities. Unpacking what’s behind unnecessary transfers and what better, safer, actions might be taken has been the focus of IHI’s STAAR initiative and is captured in one of a series of STAAR How-to Guides: Improving Transitions from the Hospital to Skilled Nursing Facilities to Reduce Avoidable Rehospitalizations. Our guide on the learning and momentum everyone can build upon from STAAR was IHI’s own Marie Schall, who’s also the first to point to the rich activity and resources available from Laurie Herndon and the widely recognized INTERACT program. Another huge resource is the American Health Care Association, which is mobilizing SNFs across the US to do their part to reduce readmissions within 30 days by 15% by 2015. David Gifford also spoke to these efforts. And, then there’s the amazing example of Kitsap County in the state of Washington, where Annette Crawford’s SNF has played a leading role building a new kind of coalition across the continuum of care to ensure that patients get the right care in the most appropriate setting.
John and Mitch talk about the design of the Nostromo, John Carpenter's Dark Star, and the presence of the camera.
Patient safety is a new phrase being heard in hospitals. Dr. Bob Falcone, Vice President of Clinical Quality and Population Health, and John Palmer, Director of Public Affairs with the Ohio Hospital Association, discuss safety and other health related issues. Length 39:20
