How do we differentiate ourselves from other accrediting organizations? While many organizations focus solely on accrediting the facility - the 'bricks and mortar' - we believe that it's the individuals within those walls who treat the patients. We accredit not only the facility, but also the surgeons, health care specialists, and their multidisciplinary teams. Also, our mission extends beyond the typical task of accreditation. Instead of merely 'checking boxes' to achieve accreditation, we're committed to fostering partnerships and offering expert consultation to support your growth. Our goal is to connect you with patients seeking top-tier providers and provide you with services to drive your success and continue building excellence in health care. #src #centerofexcellence #mastersurgeon #hospital #surgeon #accreditation #healthcare #surgeonofexcellence #patientsafety #nonprofit

As part of our commitment to expand access to quality health care, Helmsley has granted $11.6 million to three health systems in Nevada, bringing life-saving #ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) technology for patients in rural communities suffering from acute cardiac and pulmonary failure. The availability of ECMO provides timely medical support to those experiencing severe respiratory and cardiovascular distress who face additional challenges around physician shortages, lack of equipment, and geographic barriers to emergency treatment. The grants will go to Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican Siena Hospital, Renown Health Foundation, and University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMC), funding physician and staff travel to active extracorporeal life support centers, training equipment, consultation services, and other tools for program expansion across the state. “ECMO can be a game changer for patients with severe heart and lung conditions,” said Walter Panzirer, a Helmsley Trustee. “Without ECMO, hospitals have to transfer patients to other facilities, and those who are too unstable for transport could die before receiving needed care.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dSBcE5Eb

How to lose a freestanding community #hospital: 1) start with a financially viable #nonprofit facility with a strategic plan to affiliate with other nonprofit competitors; 2) implement strategy by becoming part of a new nonprofit multi-hospital system to realize anticipated cost and operational efficiencies to assure all parties thrive; 3) after a few years sell the "thriving" system to a for-profit enterprise with a sketchy hospital management history, if any; 4) stand by as new owner plays private equity games with the facility assets; 5) wait for what's left to die; 6) read the facility's obituary with commisseration from local EDs and EMS affected by the tragic strategic outcome.

We are so excited to share some amazing news about Trenton Memorial Hospital! 1. New Emergency Department - Hospital staff recently toured the new Emergency Department plans, and it sounds incredible. The space is practically doubling in size, which will make a huge difference in how we can care for patients. Imagine bigger treatment rooms, dedicated areas for bariatric and mental health needs, and potentially even a pediatric room! This expansion is exactly what our community needs to ensure the best possible care for everyone. 2. We're also excited about LUMEO, the new health information system that's coming! This system will connect people and healthcare providers across the entire region. Imagine the benefits: improved quality and consistency of care, fewer errors and duplicated tests, and most importantly, more time for staff to focus on what matters most – our patients! Building a state-of-the-art Emergency Department and implementing LUMEO, the new health information system, are crucial for our community's healthcare, but they come with a hefty price tag. Over $1.7 million is needed to fill the gap to bridge the gap between operational funding and medical equipment needs. Additionally, LUMEO alone requires a significant investment of $6 million for TMH. The Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation needs your help! Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to making these improvements a reality. Visit tmhfoundation.com for more information.

Generous donors to the Foundation have long supported Perley Health because they know the difference it makes in the day-to-day lives of the #SeniorsandVeterans who live here. Every donation, regardless of size, helps to ensure that residents receive top-quality care. Thanks to the support of donors, more older adults and Veterans have an opportunity to live life to the fullest.

Now, the CoE has rapidly become a thriving, respected hub of research and knowledge mobilization. The CoE conducts and shares the practical research needed to transform care for Seniors and Veterans—research about the efficacy of specific interventions and care practices, for instance, and about the best ways to train caregivers. Your donations make all of this work possible. Click here to help us continue to elevate care: https://lnkd.in/gfVyzuyG -- Our work with the Perley Health Centre of Excellence, and our partners and supporters in our research, is aligned with our #AdvocatingforGreaterGood pillar.
