This proposed legislation for PAs in New York aims to modernize PA practice by lifting certain restrictions. It includes removing physician supervision for experienced PAs in primary care and some non-surgical specialties, allowing PAs to prescribe and dispense necessary items, and removing physician-to-PA ratios. This is part of Governor Kathy Hochul’s budget proposal to address healthcare provider shortages and improve healthcare access, especially in rural areas. #PAslead

The rise in hospital closures, like the recent Steward Healthcare bankruptcy, is a growing concern that warrants our attention. But it isn’t just about the loss of access to care. The aftermath has a wide-ranging impact, affecting physicians, neighboring hospitals, and public health at large.

For several years, I posted about the “smoothing patient flow” intervention that has been proven multiple times to significantly reduce patient mortality, ED overcrowding, and nursing shortages while improving hospital annual balance by millions for EVERY hospital that implemented it. It has also been credited, if implemented nationwide, to reduce US annual healthcare cost by 4%-5% (~$200 billion). Some details of implementing this intervention has been provided in the Joint Commission Resources book https://lnkd.in/d7SBFnCq. Potential national impact of this intervention on healthcare quality and cost as well as the studies of this intervention are included in the new book by John Wiley & Sons: https://lnkd.in/eQuFbSvF. The book is written in a very accessible way and is based on interviews with the leading national health policy experts, US, Canada and the UK nurses, Emergency and other physicians, surgeons, patient advocates, hospital and outpatient clinic CEOs, etc. While the book is going to be published in a few months, the excerpt from it about one of the hospitals that implemented this intervention, has been published today by the Harvard School of Public Health: https://lnkd.in/eJ3CpwFm (please scroll down the page). I hope this example would encourage other hospitals to follow Cincinnati Children's, thereby providing safer care for their patients, the optimal work environment for their clinicians and alleviating healthcare inequity. There is no doubt that hospitals and Community Health Centers will implement this intervention sooner or later. Sooner, however, means many more saved lives and billions of dollars. Although I’ve done this in the past, it is important for me to mention again that I am receiving no proceeds from this book’s sale. #HarvardPublicHealth #patientsafety #hospitalovercrowding #nurseburnout #healthcare #healthequity #qualityofcare #patientcare #patientexperience #healthcareleadership #hospital #hhs #cms #hrsa #nhs #ministryofhealth #cbs #cnn #msnbc #healthcarejournalism #investigativereporting #newyorktimes #washingtonpost
