I am looking forward to this webinar. CNAs and residents are those most impacted by these rules and hearing their thoughts is so important to ensure we have the best plan moving forward. #quality #CNA #longtermcare
There is a great deal of talk about how the the proposed rule on minimum staffing standards affects providers. We think it's time to talk about its implication for nursing home CNAs and residents. I hope you'll join me and our distinguished panel, including National Association of Health Care Assistants Board Chair Sherry Perry, CNA; Geriatrician Michael Wasserman, MD; National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care Executive Director Lori Owen Smetanka, JD; and Harvard Health Policy Professor David Grabowski, PhD, as we unpack the rule as it pertains to the work of CNAs, other direct care staff, and their ability to care for residents.

"Virtually there or still more to do?" Good progress has been made over the last couple of years to scale up virtual wards in the midst of a range of competing operational priorities, with 9,700 virtual ward beds now in place ahead of winter. But there are still multiple barriers preventing further and faster implementation from a recent HSJ article: 1. The right number and mix of staff Effective virtual wards requires the right mix of staff with the right skills. Senior, experienced frontline staff, including consultants and senior nurses, are needed, while clinical leadership is essential for effective decision-making and risk management. 2. Sustainable funding from integrated care systems From 2024, the expectation is that virtual wards will be built into plans as business as usual. But in the face of tight budgets and a demanding and complex delivery task for ICSs, there are concerns that funding for virtual wards could be squeezed. 3. Buy in from all staff and patients The latest figures from July show that the occupancy rate of virtual wards beds stood at 64 per cent; below NHSE’s target of 80 per cent by September. While a lot of work to support this is taking place at a local level, there is an important role for national leaders and politicians to play in raising the profile of virtual wards and amplifying these messages. Also, what's to say 80% is an adequate target. Do you agree? Are there more complex factors which aren't noted? Ellyn Ware Jo Berry Joe O’Gorman Hannah Alban Nicola Medici https://lnkd.in/etPVsFFe

Brilliant article …… even more reason nurse practitioners are a necessity in aged care !!
Visited a nursing home in South West Sydney area and must ask! Are GPs cherry picking in RACHs of what they will or will not do with residents? Read a file and stand at the door and say hi and on to the next one? I guess this qualifies as seeing the patient by Medicare standards? Unwilling to do admissions because they are to busy? Let the care to public health system instead of doing it? I applaud those GP's who have adopted the model of bringing a GP on board to support them in their homes instead of hand balling care on.... I wrote on the importance of an Interdisciplinary Team in Care. Always remember in patient centered care people have choice of providers and do not need to choose just 1 person! Great resources from the The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) https://lnkd.in/gH3vhX_y https://lnkd.in/gDu2Bj6v #gp #nursepractitioner #agedcare #nursinghomes #royalcommission #interdisciplinary #multidisciplinary #transformationalchange

What is a freestanding emergency room? Texas is one of a small number of states that allows privately owned/operated emergency centers. This means that many Texans have an option to avoid the hospital ER waiting room prior to receiving medical care. You can think of a freestanding ER as providing a level of service in between that of urgent care clinics and hospital ERs. 🔶Urgent care: Typically no doctor on site, open during business hours only, and no lab or CT scanning. 🔶Freestanding ER: Doctor on site 24/7, lab facilities and CT scanning on site. No ambulance service or trauma. 🔶Hospital ER: All of the above plus the resources typical of hospitals. ✔ Altus Community Health is Texas' largest private owner/operator of acute medical care facilities with 25 freestanding ERs and two micro-hospitals. #healthcare #emergencymedicine
