Last month, Dr Lawrence Yang represented HDC at OSCARCON ’23 in Vancouver. HDC was a sponsor of this event which brought together OSCAR BC EMR users, partners, service providers, developers and academics from across Canada. Dr. Yang’s presentation, HDC Discover: QI & PCN Planning shared his personal experience with work related burnout and how he managed to set boundaries and make impact at a systems level. Dr. Yang explored the role data played in streamlining his practice and improving quality of care for not only his patients but himself. “When each neighborhood in BC chooses to use aggregated population data, we can make informed decisions. We can use true population trends to determine what we’re adopting, adapting and abandoning for our communities. HDC Discover is designed to show us whether or not we're making a change in our improvement. The data allows us to measure ourselves against ourselves and track personal improvement or measure against our communities or the whole province.” Read Dr. Yang’s article https://lnkd.in/gSXfBm9D

“According to the Stanford School of Medicine, 24 percent of Americans put their end-of-life care wishes in writing; 16 percent have thought about end-of-life care but have not told anyone about their wishes; and 19 percent have not thought about end-of-life care at all. Further, according to Standford, 80 percent of Americans would prefer to die at home, but only 20 percent actually do. That’s a hard statistic to swallow—together, we can do better. But how do we get there? (Standford School of Medicine, 2021).” How do we get there? Medalogix Muse, Predictive Analytics https://lnkd.in/gBcxK-bQ

🚀We recently commissioned a study on how to foster belonging in digital patient communities from researchers at the The University of British Columbia's department of medicine. From their research, we have written an article with a list of the most effective ways to increase a sense of belonging in digital patient communities.

I'm happy to share our latest work, published in HSR, that examines changes in hospitalization trends and healthcare utilization among Veterans following Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks (MISSION) Act implementation. I'm grateful for all the collaborators who helped complete the story. Check it out in the link below. #healthsystemsresearch #healthypolicy

External peer review is key to improving patient safety and quality of care, especially when incorporated into ongoing quality improvement efforts. So why don’t more organizations practice routine external peer review? Chartis’ Steve Mrozowski, MHA, FACHE, CPPS, and Andrew Resnick, MD, discuss the biggest challenges and how external peer review can help CMOs drive high reliability in their organizations.

https://lnkd.in/efppHbvb Hot off the presses - RTI research pub May 2024, looking forward to reading more closely after work! "Conclusion Enhanced supports for improving care coordination, discharge education, and post-discharge follow-up had mixed or neutral effectiveness for improving the patient experience with care, compared to standard care or simpler improvement approaches. There is a need to advance the body of evidence on how to improve the patient experience with discharge support and transitional approaches."

While this is healthcare focused, I think it applies to all industries as far as getting outside perspective on and reviewing incidents, customer service, polices, procedures, safety, etc.

I am thrilled that the first paper of my dissertation has been published! We report on the development and validation of the Treatment-Preference-Measure-Advance Care Planning (Treat-Me-ACP). An early-stage outcome instrument that uses hypothetical scenarios to measure the dynamics of patient preferences and complements the evaluation of the effectiveness of advance care planning interventions. Many thanks to the STADPLAN study group and especially to Juliane Köberlein-Neu. #AdvanceCarePlanning https://rdcu.be/dBW6m
