Boards often ask me: 'Can we afford high-quality care?' My answer: 'Can you afford suboptimal care - it's costing you a fortune!' Quality and efficiency have wrestled with each other for as long as I can remember. In healthcare we've grappled with this through various phases of casemix funding, cost of complications and value-based care. It's a work in progress. But we haven't really scratched the surface in aged care and other human services. This makes our February AICG 'Lightbulb Moment' essential listening: 'Quality and Efficiency - Symbiotic or Siloed?'   Allison Patchett, specialist coach in Health and Aged Care, and former health and aged care CEO and Quality Executive, will reveal her “ah-ha!” moment about the relationship between quality and efficiency in health and aged care.  We'll have a good chat about what her 'revelation' has meant to her and the organisations she's worked with - and have a bit of fun along the way.   Date: Tuesday 27 February 2024, 12:30pm - 1:15pm (AEDT time) Location: Online for AICG Members (free) If you're not an AICG member but feel that this is a good time to join, we'd love to seeyou there - you can join here: https://lnkd.in/g8kQqtQU (Lots of great CG resources, a Q&A facility, free webinars and our monthly 'Quality Lightbulb' sessions - great value at $250.00 per year.) AICG Members - I look forward to sharing Allison's lessons learned with you all! And as a heads up - our March 'Lightbulber' (27 March) is Louise McKinlay, the new Interim CEO of Safer Care Victoria.

▫️Have you ever found yourself frustrated with your GP's service? ▫️Have you felt like you're not being heard or understood? These sentiments are all too common. As healthcare providers, it's crucial to address these concerns head-on. Instead of dismissing patient feedback, let's actively seek to understand and address their needs. How often do we open channels of communication with our patients to truly understand their experiences? 📣 Engaging with patients is an opportunity to foster transparency and build trust. So why not work together to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers, encourage involvement in patient participation groups and strive for open dialogue? 👂By listening to our patients and involving them in shaping our practices, we can create a healthcare environment that truly serves everyone. #PatientFocusGroup #PatientEngagement #PatientVoice #PatientParticipation #PatientParticipationGroups #PPG #NHS #PrimaryCare #NHSPrimaryCare #PrimaryCareNetwork #GP #GeneralPractice #PatientCommunication #PatientEmpowerment

Complex care in healthcare goes beyond the surface. At its core, complex care involves a thorough understanding of the unique intricacies of each patient's condition, considering not just the medical aspects, but also their emotional, social, and psychological well-being. It's a collaboration between healthcare professionals, patients, and their families, working together to create a tailored plan that respects the individual's autonomy and values. Complex care supports patients in managing chronic conditions, navigating the healthcare system, and striving for the best possible quality of life. Complex care is not just about treating symptoms, but about addressing the root causes of health issues, promoting prevention, and building resilience. It's a commitment to continuous improvement, always seeking better solutions and new treatments. So, here's to the unsung heroes of healthcare who provide complex care day in and day out, and to the patients and families who inspire us with their strength. Let's continue to champion and celebrate the profound importance of complex care in our healthcare system. #complexcare #complexcareneeds #complexcarefacts #whatiscomplexcare #londoncomplexcare #athomecarers #londoncarers #ukhealthcare #communitycare #wecare #supportingthoseinneed #longtermillness #yourhealthmatters #healthcareinsights
