Join us! I will be discussing American Indian and Alaska Native Disparities in Maternal Health.

We are super excited to announce that our CEO, Ryan G. Nazar, MD, CIME, EMHA, CLSSBB, been invited to speak at the NSCSW Mini-Conference: Safety in Practice on December 8, 2023 from 10 AM – 3 PM! It's a huge honor and he can't wait to dive into some seriously important topics with an amazing group of experts. Here’s what’s cooking: Dr. Nazar is joining forces with two doctors and an engineer to chat about rethinking interprofessional collaboration: -      Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg's insights on developing a safety culture. -      Dr. Hawker's work on accessible, culturally appropriate care in marginalized communities. -      Mr. Mark Cooksey, ⚕ CLSSMBB, MBA, BSME ⚕'s unique perspective as an engineer on patient flow and safety concerns. What Dr. Nazar is bringing to the table: He’ll delve into his research on enhancing patient outcomes with a Lean-Six Sigma methodology that empowers DIY Healthcare skills. This approach is centered on providing practical and empowering guidance for effective self-care (Practical Healthcare!). We're not just treating symptoms; we're transforming the healthcare experience with patients as the drivers! This isn't just another conference - it's a stepping stone towards a healthcare system that's safer and more inclusive, especially for those often left behind. Good news for those who can’t make it: We're recording everything and it'll be up on our YouTube channel. Do you know someone passionate about changing the face of healthcare? Share the love and let them know about the conference… it’s free!: https://lnkd.in/e89igQdg Can't wait to see you there and make some waves together! #NSCSWConference2023 #HealthcareRevolution #SafetyFirst

What do you think? I still strongly believe in HIEs. I think they have the potential to integrate and serve up data and utility for stakeholders across the entire healthcare ecosystem. When there is buy-in and cross-stakeholder support, they could produce insights and tools well-beyond what any one organization could alone, especially given the integration of various disparate sources. I’ve been trying to help beat this drum since atleast 2017, and have so much appreciation for others who have been championing this much longer. There have been challenges, barriers, and setbacks, don’t get me wrong. But I’m so happy that today I can confidently say… momentum is palpable, and grows each day here in NM thanks to the very hard work of local state leaders like Terri Stewart, Elisa Wrede, Roberto Martinez (and countless more), plus national groups like Civitas Networks for Health. And yesterday I had the pleasure of presenting what SYNCRONYS, NM’s state-designated HIE, is working on specifically in the SDOH/Health Equity space, as the volunteer Chair of their SDOH Advisory Workgroup. We also discussed examples of what other states’ HIEs are doing to lead the way in the space. It still requires collaboration, communication, and constantly bringing together multiple disparate stakeholders to work towards a common goal and ideate solutions together. HIEs can and should be an integral voice in these conversations as a public-private partnership. This is my 6th year attending the annual conference, and every year I see more and more faces representing more and more key organizations across our state. I’m honestly so excited to see how much progress has been made in our state on this front. Let’s keep it going!!! If anyone wants to talk shop and bat ideas around on any of this, don’t hesitate to drop me a note. I love this stuff. Thank you so much for having me 🥂 To progress >>>

The EDITH-CSA project is dedicated to advancing #digitalInnovation in #healthcare. This project brings together academia, industry, and clinicians to foster collaboration and create impactful solutions. Last December, the European Commission launched the #VirtualHumanTwin (#VHT) as its next flagship program! This initiative aims to bring together stakeholders to advance the development, credibility, and use of #digitalTwins in healthcare. The EDITH-CSA project is spearheading the VHT ecosystem, guiding the creation of the Virtual Human Twin roadmap. After months of hard work, EDITH partners are nearing the completion of this process. The first version of the roadmap is now available for public comment! 🗓️ Join the Final Ecosystem Meeting in #Amsterdam! On 15th-16th July 2024, there will be a final ecosystem meeting to discuss the VHT, including clinical and patient uptake, over policy, ethics, social issues, regulatory elements and complementarity with the existing national and EU research infrastructures. Keynotes from the FDA and clinical champions will be featured, along with a demonstration of the proof-of-concept EDITH infrastructure. Interactive sessions will facilitate consensus on the roadmap and its recommendations. Interested parties from academia, industry, healthcare professional or public sector are welcome to participate!   📅 Register Here: https://lnkd.in/dAjah3Qn If you can't attend but want to stay informed, visit the EDITH website (https://www.edith-csa.eu/) and leave your contact details for monthly updates compiling the form: https://lnkd.in/dPBQ-Tmm. #DigitalPrevention #Digitalhealth  

Let's connect in CA if you are attending the RISE #StarRatings Master Class conference next week. I will be there with HealthPrize's CMO Katrina Firlik, MD and would love to discuss improving #adherence and other #qualitymeasures with you. #medicareadvantage

To coincide with #MedComms Day (12th June) and the first session in Manchester of the HCA’s Annual Conference (13th June), the Healthcare Communications Association is launching our new measurement and evaluation campaign, Start SMART. Measurement and evaluation metrics should be included in all communications activities so we can demonstrate their impact and value. They need to be considered from the outset of our projects and is why we are encouraging organisations, teams, and individuals to always Start SMART. If we Start SMART, with a SMART objective, we are focused on what, how, and when we are going to measure and evaluate, from the very start of our activity. As professionals, and as a sector, we must continually learn and adapt, to ensure we consistently deliver our best work, and are able to demonstrate the value of communications. Effective measurement and evaluation are essential for these goals. Start SMART needs to become the healthcare communicator's mantra. So why don’t you take a pledge to always Start SMART. #MedComms #HCAConference #TogetherForBetter #StartSMART #Evaluation

Today, head of NTH Innovation Team Jonathan Rowley, met with Jenny Wood, Quality Improvement Facilitator at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, to update on current projects from both an innovation and QI perspective, and discuss how our teams can work more closely to share knowledge, generate more ideas and drive these forward. 🤝 Innovation teams are often responsible for generating new ideas and concepts, while quality improvement teams focus on identifying and addressing existing challenges. By collaborating on idea generation and evaluation processes, both teams can contribute their insights and expertise to ensure that innovative solutions also meet quality standards and address relevant issues to ultimately improve patient care. 💕 NTH Solutions #innovation #healthcareinnovation #collaboration #qualityimprovement #innovationandimprovement

Navigating patient-initiated portal communication to create better experiences for patients is a national priority for health care systems. The goal of the patient-initiated portal communication project collaboration between Vizient, Inc and the AAMC is to understand the different ways that health systems are responding to patient-initiated portal communication, and the usage of e-visits, and its impact on the quintuple aim of equity, quality, patient experience, care team experience, and cost. By learning the different approaches of managing communication through the electronic patient portals, health systems can improve the provider and care team experience while enhancing access pathways for patients. Danielle Carder, AAMC senior program specialist, recently joined Vizient’s podcast to highlight this collaboration on patient-initiated portal communication. Access the full podcast episode here: https://ow.ly/hu6B50Qzo7t The AAMC and Vizient will be sharing more insights and best practices gathered from this project in the future. Additional background on the AAMC’s access to care initiatives can be found here: https://ow.ly/NOVV50Qzo7u.
