Self-care is a win-win for patients and clinicians. Patients feel empowered, confident, and in control of their health, while overstretched clinicians have more capacity to deliver care. Pathway automations build up the benefits of self-care by making it easier for patients to receive the right support at the right time, with enhanced clinical oversight and reduced manual input where it’s unnecessary. In the example below, patients enrolled to Isla are automatically sent appropriate guidance and resources based on their remotely submitted assessment forms. The benefits of this are: 🔸 Personalised and timely care for patients 🔸 Enhanced visibility, empowering clinicians to make confident decisions and improve patient safety 🔸 Increased capacity for clinicians — self-care can save up to 2,000 visits per month for community nursing 🔸 Avoided community team travel, saving both time and costs Automations don’t take away from the care that patients receive across the pathway, they add to it.

The landscape of health care delivery is evolving. A recent analysis across 267 hospital-based practices showed NPs and PAs achieving nearly identical MIPS quality scores compared to physicians in both emergency and hospital medicine. This isn't surprising to those of us committed to proper training, education, and collaborative care models. Read our latest whitepaper to learn how we're optimizing patient care through clinical collaboration.

Transforming Healthcare with Compassion, Innovation, and Integrity Healthcare professionals are the backbone of our collective well-being, playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of patient care. Every day, these dedicated individuals blend clinical expertise with compassion, ensuring the highest standards of care and truly making a difference in the lives they touch. As you read this post, take a moment to put yourself in the shoes of healthcare workers. They work tirelessly with passion, compassion, and resilience, often facing immense challenges as they deal with a diverse range of people—whether in hospitals, home care, nursing facilities, or residential care. Despite the pressure, they continue to treat everyone with respect and dignity. In return, they deserve to be treated with the same kindness and understanding. As the healthcare industry evolves, innovation and best practices are driving better patient outcomes. It’s a field where every interaction holds weight, and every effort counts. Together, we continue to push the boundaries, transforming care—one patient at a time. #HealthcareExcellence #RespectHealthcareWorkers #DignityInCare #PatientCare #CompassionInCare #HealthcareTransformation #PassionAndCompassion Join us in advancing healthcare—where every interaction matters, and every contribution makes a profound difference.

In senior living, skilled nursing, and even traditional hospital settings, a common challenge arises when patients, often with the best of intentions, decide to get out of bed and move around without clinician supervision. These moments can significantly impact recovery and increase the risk of injury, leading to extended hospital stays. In this video, Joe Zaccaria from Neteera discusses a crucial question: How can healthcare providers strike the right balance between early intervention and avoiding unnecessary alarms? At Neteera, we are committed to delivering actionable insights—not just more data. Whether it's monitoring changing vital signs or behavioral aspects like bed exits, our goal is to provide clinicians with timely, meaningful alerts that help them act early and decisively to improve patient care. Check out the video to hear more from Joe about how we are finding that "sweet spot" in patient monitoring. #HealthcareInnovation #PatientSafety #SmartMonitoring #SeniorCare #HealthTech #Neteera

74% of hospital leaders see virtual nursing as integral to acute care. Yet adoption is slow: only 10% have made it standard today. Starting small—like implementing virtual sitting—delivers fast ROI and paves the way for broader success.

With decreased bed availability, thinned hospital margins and increased demand for care that exceeds the hospital supply — improving patient flow has become a focus for health system C-suite executives. I shared with Fierce Healthcare this broader strategy that could improve hospital throughput performance: 1. Use data to create a network of high-performing post-acute options 2. Measure and manage performance across that ecosystem with agreed-upon targets 3. Create alignment with post-acute providers to help with transfers 4. Make protocols that guide readmissions after initial discharge This strategy has allowed Allina Health to achieve high performance in our hospitals for throughput and capacity management. In less than a year, we have saved 24,808 inpatient days, reduced discharge to skilled nursing facilities length of stay by 1.61 days and decreased discharge to home health length of stay by 0.89 days.
