Healthcare is no longer just about treating illnesses—it’s about creating systems that enhance lives, promote well-being, and ensure fairness. The Quintuple Aim is a visionary framework that builds on the foundational goals of the Triple Aim, incorporating critical aspects of provider well-being and health equity to create a comprehensive approach to care. Here’s a closer look at the five dimensions of the Quintuple Aim: 1️⃣ Enhancing the Patient Experience Patients are at the heart of everything we do. By prioritizing personalized, compassionate, and patient-centered care, we aim to deliver not just treatment but also comfort and trust. 2️⃣ Improving Population Health Addressing public health issues requires proactive strategies like preventive care, education, and community engagement. This ensures healthier communities and reduces the burden of chronic diseases. 3️⃣ Reducing Costs of Care Sustainability is key. By adopting value-based care models and streamlining operations, we can deliver high-quality care while managing costs for patients and systems. 4️⃣ Supporting Provider Well-Being Healthcare professionals are the backbone of the system. Prioritizing their mental health, resilience, and job satisfaction is essential to delivering consistent, high-quality care. 5️⃣ Advancing Health Equity Every individual deserves equal access to care. By addressing disparities and fostering inclusivity, we can create a system that serves all patients fairly, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or location. What does the Quintuple Aim mean to you? How are you or your organization addressing these five critical dimensions? Let’s share best practices and inspire each other to drive positive change in healthcare. #QuintupleAim #HealthcareLeadership #PatientExperience #HealthEquity #ProviderWellBeing #ValueBasedCare

Utilization Management and Latest Reviews Utilization management (UM) programs were put in place to facilitate clinically appropriate #patienttreatment plans and cost effective care. UM is used prior to pre-authorization during concurrent review and after a patient is discharged from a hospital or other clinical setting. As a result of the information gathered in UM, connections to disease management, care management, and population health program offerings can be linked to UM programs with collaboration between #providers, #payers and #patients. As reported by Medecision, less than 32% of health plan leaders rate their UM tools as “very effective” at identifying health events in time to have a positive impact. An estimated 25% of health plan leaders said the UM tools are “easy to use”. This data reflects that some regard UM programs as fragmented and challenging. In the February 25, 2024, #webinar titled “The State of Utilization Management 2024,” the top barriers to UM were discussed along with how healthcare leaders can address them.

Social determinants of health (#SDoH) are the non-medical factors that influence 30–55% of #healthoutcomes and affect access to #healthcare. They include the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of factors shaping the conditions of daily life. These wider factors include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, and political systems. To ensure that health systems focus on SDoH, #healthleaders should embed a consistent SDOH approach to standardization, collection, analysis, and dissemination of #data across the different care delivery models. There is a need to advance evaluation and build evidence for strategies that address SDOH to reduce disparities and promote #healthequity. It is necessary to establish criteria, actionable steps, and strategies for partnerships, collaborations, and relationships that improve #healthoutcomes over the long term. Community engagement is pivotal to fostering meaningful, sustained #communityengagement across all planning and implementation phases. Stakeholders should invest in required #infrastructure and capacity building to strengthen and sustain infrastructure such as workforce, training, and access to financial resources required to address SDOH and reduce #healthdisparities. It is critical to identify evidence, tools, and resources to enhance communication about policies that affect SDOH with #policymakers and other #stakeholders. We at PatientOne are playing our part in driving #healthcareforall with our easy-to-use #RPM solution that empowers individuals to take control of their health and facilitates a more #preventivecare delivery model. We offer #digitized solutions that support #valuebasedcare models by improving patient health outcomes, reducing healthcare utilization, and enabling early #intervention.

The hammer down from overutilization focus is a nail in the coffin of patient engagement. Observations of primary care over 40 years reveal the truth about the way that health care designers defeat necessary patient engagement. There is no excuse for massive deficits across primary care, mental health, women's health, and geriatrics The United States is unique in so preventing patient engagement despite sufficient finances. About 40% of the nation in 2621 counties lowest in health care workforce has half enough of each basic health access specialty and even more compromises in the delivery team members. Where the population is most complex and most vulnerable, one on one person to person innovation is most required and is most prevented. Discussions of patient engagement are pointless with so many suffering from underutilization and inappropriate utilization. You cannot fine tune a catastrophic design.

Our General Manager, Community Health and Care Helen Kemp presented at this month’s Victorian Healthcare Week conference on the theme Unveiling Tech Transformation Strategies to Foster Digital Maturity in the Aged Care Sector. The discussion focused on digital maturity challenges across the sector and how aged care providers are dealing with large technology change programs. The presentation touched on the importance of having internal expertise to manage this challenge and a change management framework. Helen also joined a panel discussion that focussed on how to enhance support for ageing in place and seamless home care transitions. #agedcare #agedcareaustralia #techtransformations #homecare

It’s Day 2 of National Health Center Week.   Today I want to talk about three critical roles that health centers play in the community.   1.     Champions of Health Equity Health centers play a crucial role in improving the health and well-being of medically underserved communities. Their approach ensures that no one is left behind. Health centers: 🛡️ Prevent illness and promote wellness rather than just treat disease 🌍 Address social drivers of health like housing, food insecurity, and more ⚖️ Champion health equity by focusing on marginalized communities   2.     Breaking Down Barriers to Comprehensive Care One of the remarkable strengths of health centers is their ability to break down barriers to care. Their adaptability was evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the swift implementation of telehealth services. Beyond primary care, health centers offer a range of comprehensive and needed services, including: 🦷 Dental care 🧠 Mental health care 💊 Substance use services 🔄 Behavioral health care   3.     Cost Savings Health centers are not only healthcare providers but also economic drivers. By reducing the need for other health care services, they contribute significantly to cost savings within the medical industry. They also create jobs within underserved communities. Community health centers across the US: 👩🏾⚕️ Support 500,000 direct and indirect jobs 💵 Generate nearly $85 billion in economic output 💡 Save the nation’s health system BILLIONS of dollars annually   Did you know all of this about health centers? What was most notable to you? #NHCW24 #ValueCHCs

The need to consider SDoH data in healthcare is critical to improving population health. Using the data does not need to equal staff capturing this sensitive data manually. Conversational chatbots provide a way to capture SDoH data that preserves patient dignity and helps identify the support services/referrals needed.
