Elevating Chronic Care Management through Nurse Care Managers As healthcare continues to pivot towards value-based care models, the role of #NurseCareManagers (#NCMs) in Chronic Care Management (#CCM) has never been more pivotal. NCMs are at the forefront of identifying eligible patients, developing personalized #careplans, and ensuring seamless #carecoordination. But how does this translate into better Quality Payment Program (#QPP) scores and increased incentive payments? First, by identifying patients eligible for CCM, NCMs ensure that those with multiple #chronicconditions receive continuous, comprehensive care. They not only enroll patients but also provide them with the necessary education about the benefits of such programs, leading to higher patient engagement and satisfaction. Secondly, care coordination is the heart of CCM. NCMs work tirelessly to connect the dots between various healthcare providers, ensuring that the patient's care plan is executed flawlessly. This includes managing medication, scheduling follow-ups, and monitoring the patient's health status. The seamless execution of these plans leads to improved patient outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions, which are critical metrics in determining QPP scores. Lastly, meticulous documentation and correct coding of CCM services by NCMs ensure that providers are reimbursed accurately for the care provided. This not only supports the financial health of the practice but also reflects the quality of care in QPP scores. In essence, NCMs are invaluable in navigating the complexities of chronic care, enhancing patient health outcomes, and steering healthcare practices towards higher QPP scores and increased incentives. Let's acknowledge and support the integral role of NCMs in elevating #chroniccaremanagement. #nursesofLinkedIn #innovation #nurseleaders #patientcenteredcare #valuebasedcare #CMS

Hospitals don't exist to make money; they exist to serve communities. The article below describes for-profit California hospitals shutting down their labor and delivery units due to low reimbursement, *even though* the hospitals are highly profitable overall. Yes, it's screwed up that American-style health insurance overpays for some services and underpays for others, so that hospitals have to cost-shift. On the other hand, hospitals that simply close the low-payment parts of their operations in order to extract higher profits for their investors are by definition failing in their community mandate, and do not deserve a license to operate. #ethicalhealthcare #hippocraticcapitalism #hospitals #healthsystems

【Keep the Hearts Beating as Gift of Life -- Heart Transplant Team at Grantham Hospital / Queen Mary Hospital, HA #Outstanding #Team Award 2024】 Heart Transplant Team Grantham Hospital / Queen Mary Hospital #Heart #transplants shine a light of hope for patients with severe heart failure. Being the only heart transplant team in Hong Kong, the Department of #Cardiac #Medicine at Grantham Hospital and the #Cardiothoracic #Surgery Department at Queen Mary Hospital have performed more than 250 cases of heart transplants since their establishment in 1992. The long journey of waiting for a heart transplant may take years; in the meantime, the multidisciplinary heart transplant team has been collaborating closely. “Over the decades, the Team has built up a deep tacit understanding and inherited the spirit of patient-centered care with the common aspiration of safeguarding patients’ health,” says the Team. On the path to saving hearts, the Team always dares to break new ground. In 2010, the Team implanted the Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in a patient for the first time to help the patient maintain heart function and buy time while waiting for a transplant. The technology has enabled some patients to live for 10 more years, and the number of heart transplant cases has increased every year. “Enhancing the quality of life of patients who are waiting for a transplant is an important issue. The LVAD helps patients improve their physical health, allowing them to lead a normal life and enjoy time with their loved ones.” One major challenge in heart transplant is the difficulty in finding suitable donors. To boost the chances of patients receiving a transplant, the Team introduced the Organ Care System (OCS) in 2020, which is the first of its kind in Asia. The OCS is a transformative technology designed to better preserve the cardiac function of a ‘marginal heart’ which would previously have been unsuitable for transplanting, so as to increase organ utilisation. There have been three successful cases to date. “Every donated heart is precious. We must save as many hearts as possible to manifest the selfless love of the donors and their families.” The Team hopes that more citizens will respond to the call for organ donation. “We would like to thank the organ donors, their families, and the media for lighting the flame of hope with their compassion. Many heart transplant patients have started a new life to actively serve others and make an impact on their lives. We hope to keep the love alive and continue to seek better technologies to treat patients.” [Video in Cantonese] #HA #HospitalAuthority #HelpingPeopleStayHealthy #awardsandrecognition #outstandingteam #HKWC #GH #QMH

We need to keep learning and improving in #healthcare. We need to share (and publish) creative care models that work well, and work #together across teams, historic silos, and locations to help our patients, communities, and each other. 📌 This is a fantastic overview of a virtual care connection model with specialists and local teams working together to care for patients. ➡️ “The clinical consultation took place in the local clinic facility, with the support of the on-site team.” ➡️ “Laboratory testing and imaging studies were coordinated through community settings, and tertiary site–based surgical, health psychology, and nutritional teams also followed up with this patient via virtual care clinic visits.” ➡️ “By providing these clinical services closer to the patient’s home through a clinical facility, numerous objectives were achieved: (1) patients received thorough clinical assessment and care plans; (2) patients were less likely to use the hospital or ED; (3) patients were more likely to remain in the workforce; and (4) community health care was off-loaded, reducing burnout and improving workforce retention.” ➡️ “This approach combines virtual care with a cooperative care delivery model, where the aim is not to shift patient care from one provider to another, but to expand access for patients and to create both new and clinically appropriate care for each care participant, with the aim that improved access will lead to enhanced care outcomes and more efficient care utilization.” #StrongerTogether #CrossTeamCollaboration #PatientCenteredCare

Effects of Primary Care-Led, Integrated Palliative Care for Medicare Patients in a Value-Based Model A primary care-led, integrated approach of delivering palliative care within a full-risk model can be an effective care delivery mechanism to meet the healthcare needs of an aging population by impacting patient outcomes and reducing avoidable utilization and cost at the end of life. These findings demonstrate that PCPs in a scaled, full-risk model can simultaneously improve care for patients while reducing costs to the healthcare system. https://buff.ly/43T2bem #PalliativeCareServices #PalliativeCare

🏥 Extending Hospital at Home: A Bipartisan Initiative 🏥 Senators Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) have introduced the Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act of 2024. This pivotal legislation aims to extend the CMS Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver program for five additional years. Here's what this means: - **Continued Success**: The program has shown to reduce healthcare costs, improve patient outcomes, and alleviate hospital burdens. - **National Reach**: Currently active in 37 states, including Delaware and South Carolina, with the program set to expire on December 31, 2024. - **Home Care Benefits**: Enables Medicare beneficiaries to receive hospital-level care in the comfort of their own homes. - **Bipartisan Support**: This extension builds on prior successes and bipartisan efforts to innovate healthcare delivery. - **Healthcare Evolution**: ChristianaCare has successfully admitted over 1,000 patients, showcasing the effectiveness and patient satisfaction with home-based care. 🗨️ "Our efforts aim to revolutionize healthcare by allowing vulnerable Americans to receive high-quality care at home, reducing traditional hospital risks," said Senator Scott. Take a look a the bill here: https://lnkd.in/ge4CMpx8 #HospitalAtHome #HealthcareInnovation #BipartisanHealthcare #Medicare #HomeCare #PatientCare #HealthPolicy #ModernMedicine #SeniorCare #CMS 👩‍⚕️🏡 Let's support the future of healthcare, where home is where the healing happens!
