Podcasts about quality of care

Physician and psychologist Heidi Feldman is a pioneer in the field of developmental behavioral pediatrics who says that the world's understanding of childhood disability is changing and so too are the ways we approach it. Where once institutionalization was common, today we find integrative, family-centered approaches, charting a more humane, hopeful path forward. For example, for children born prematurely with increased likelihood of disability, increasing skin-to-skin contact – what is called  “kangaroo care” – can literally reshape that child's brain development, she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

The UN's Sustainable Development Goals act as a vital catalyst, urging countries worldwide to strive for Universal Health Coverage.  This encompasses the twin objectives of providing financial risk protection and ensuring equitable access to high quality essential health care services.  But how exactly do we define quality of care?To shed more light on this important topic,  WHO/Europe has launched a brand new podcast called "The Fourth Dimension", which is entirely dedicated to quality of care. This podcast is produced and hosted by our expert team in Athens, Greece, who specialize in this field. For this episode of Health In Europe, we are going to play you the premiere episode of "The Fourth Dimension".   If you enjoy it, we encourage you to follow the Fourth Dimension on your favourite streaming service (or from wherever you get your podcasts).  Enjoy!More about Quality of Care from WHO: https://www.who.int/health-topics/universal-health-coverage/quality-of-care#tab=tab_1CREDITSHosted by: Thanos MylonerosEdited by: Thanos Myloneros and David BarrettHealth in Europe Theme Music by: Ben King

One challenge in developing treatments for rare diseases is finding enough people with the condition to mount valid clinical trials.  Databases that contain diagnostic codes for specific conditions can help, but those miss people who may have the condition but have yet to be conclusively diagnosed.  That's where Verana Health comes in, a digital health company that uses AI to mine its data network of more than 20,000 healthcare providers and the clinic notes they make about patient encounters. “If you wanted to find somebody with a specific genetic defect, or a specific condition for which a diagnostic code doesn't even exist, clinic notes represent really the only place you could discover that information,” explains Dr. Michael Mbagwu, an ophthalmologist and Verana's Senior Medical Director. Verana partners with the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Academy of Neurology and the American Urologic Association to manage their clinical registries which were built to improve quality of care, answer research questions and help physicians report quality metrics. Join host Michael Carrese for an exploration of the ways medicine is being changed by the ever-growing amount of data available and the new technologies which allow clinicians and others to analyze and use all of that information. “Some of the things that we just assumed were never possible or were kind of hopeless endeavors are now possible for the first time thanks to AI.” Mentioned in this episode: https://www.veranahealth.com/

Technology is essential for today's care management operations, yet it's important to recognize that technology can either help or hinder the business. At its best, technology offers a reduction in the basic cost of doing business through streamlined workflows, automation and digital processing of administrative functions. But, at its worst, improperly designed technology can cause wasted man hours, rework, increase the likelihood of human error, and create job dissatisfaction—all of which creates staffing issues and distracts clinicians from the primary mission of caring for members. About Our Guest: Laura Franklin has over 15 years of clinical nursing experience and 8 years with healthcare technology platforms guiding clinical informatics. Franklin is an Advanced Practice Nurse, MSN from UCSF.Listen in to learn more about how innovations in workflows for case management and utilization management are solving common healthcare and business problems for health plans.

Dr. Mary Beth Maguire describes a benchmark study to measure the quality of care students deliver in simulation. The purpose was to compare national Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey data with data received from standardized patients (SPs). Findings suggest HCAHPS data can be used to model correlates of the quality of care SPs receive from students during simulation events.

Related Report: Failure to Follow a Consult Process Resulting in Undocumented Patient Care at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in OhioThe VA OIG conducted a healthcare inspection for 10 allegations related to the quality and management of patient care and the availability of resources within the Urgent Care Center at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in Ohio.One allegation involved an urgent care provider sending a patient with a T12 vertebrae compression fracture to have chiropractic care at the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) clinic. The patient returned a week later with a T12 burst fracture and rib fractures.The OIG found that an urgent care provider verbally referred a patient for pain management and not for chiropractic care. However, the OIG found that the urgent care provider did not enter a CAM consult until eight days after seeing the patient. Due to this delay, the chiropractor and clinical massage therapist failed to review the consult prior to seeing the patient. Additionally, the chiropractor and massage therapist could not link documentation to the consult and had no other process to complete the documentation resulting in the failure to document care provided within the medical record.The patient returned to the Urgent Care Center eight days later where a computerized tomography scan showed an acute burst fracture and acute rib fractures. Because of the lack of documentation and provider recall, the OIG could not conclusively determine the relationship between the actions taken by the chiropractor and clinical massage therapist and the patient's bone fractures.The OIG found the nine additional allegations to be unsupported and lacked merit.The OIG made two recommendations to the Facility Director related to education of providers, chiropractors, and clinical massage therapists on the use of consults and timely documentation, and conducting an internal review of the CAM program processes related to patient care, reviewing consults, scheduling appointments, checking-in patients, and documentation.
