What is Patient Centered Care and Why is it important? Patient centered care is more than just providing medical treatment. It's about building a relationship with your patients and treating them with respect, dignity, and compassion. By focusing on the needs and preferences of each individual, we can deliver the best healthcare possible. Research shows that patient centered care can lead to: - Improved patient outcomes - Tighter blood pressure control - Better overall health status - Lower hospitalization rates - Improved management of chronic conditions - Increased patient satisfaction - Sharper quality of care By honoring patient preferences and reducing unnecessary procedures, we can improve patient health and lower hospitalization rates. As healthcare providers, we have the power to make a positive impact on our patients' lives. By practicing patient centered care, we can improve the quality of care we provide and make a real difference in the lives of those we serve. Let's work together to deliver the best possible care to our patients. #healthcare #casemanagement #healthcareadvocate #patientcenteredcare #patientoutcomes #healthcareproviders

Transitions of care (ToC) are critical inflection points for patients, providers, and payers to improve patient engagement. "Using a three-step approach, payers could seek to reduce hospital readmissions, potentially improving patient experience and care outcomes and cutting costs for stakeholders." #Payers #PatientCare #PatientExperience https://lnkd.in/gXXMcu3t

Fee-for-service has prevented primary care from reaching its potential. …not just to provide critical services to your patient panel, but to earn more and turn provider burn-out around.

Every year delayed is a year of lost opportunity. https://lnkd.in/eY9YVKHF *ideas and content are my own

Some of the most important ways you can create a positive patient experience and a smooth revenue cycle begin before patients ever arrive at your rural or critical access hospital. Many of these front-end activities are related to scheduling and registration in advance of a patient’s visit. A best practice to optimize the front-end revenue cycle is to create a standardized process to streamline the patient experience. This process should involve: - Developing a pre-registration process - Standardizing data provided by referring physicians - Centralizing scheduling for services in one place - Developing a process to ensure the physician order is available at the time of scheduling For more best practices, read here: https://hubs.li/Q02kGQ1s0 #StroudwaterAssociates #RuralHealthcare #RCM
