Enhancing Outpatient Care Through External Peer Review Services Outpatient clinics are crucial for providing accessible patient care without hospitalization. To maintain high standards, many clinics are turning to external peer review services. These reviews provide objective, unbiased assessments that help clinics enhance care quality, build patient trust, and identify areas for improvement. Partnering with external reviewers allows clinics to continuously refine their practices, improve patient outcomes, and support professional development for their staff. External peer reviews are essential for clinics committed to accountability, quality, and excellence in patient care. #OutpatientCare #ExternalPeerReview #PatientQuality #ContinuousImprovement #QualityPeerSolutions

Last week's Outpatient Transformation conference highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by the NHS, particularly the long waiting times for treatment.

The latest findings from the SafeCare Study reveal a startling reality: 7% of patients experience an adverse event during outpatient care, with 63.8% of these incidents being drug-related. This study, led by Mass General Brigham and analyzed across Massachusetts outpatient practices, underscores the urgent need for focused #PatientSafety measures beyond the hospital walls. Healthcare leaders must prioritize and expand our safety protocols to cover all care settings, ensuring every patient encounter is as safe as possible. It’s time to bridge the gap between inpatient and outpatient safety standards. #HealthcareQuality #OutpatientCare

Our Delivery Lead Olivia Clarke attended Convenzis Group's NHS Outpatient Conference - and here were some of her takeaways: 🤝 Collaborative Innovation: Engage primary and secondary care clinicians, community health professionals, and all relevant stakeholders in the design and implementation of innovations. 🚗 Flexible Outcomes: Transformational change should not aim for fixed outcomes. When driving change, “You probably won’t end up where you thought you would, but you’ll end up where you need to be.” 💡 Dynamic Leadership: Successful innovation in outpatient services requires a passionate and dynamic leader to champion the cause and unite people 👨🦰 Central Role of Patients: Key issues patients face include lack of patient choice, health inequalities, and personalised care. 🌎 Holistic Planning: Consider the broader system impact before introducing change to avoid negative repercussions elsewhere in the system. ❤️ Experience over Activity: Focus on patient experience over sheer activity. Ensure patients feel seen, heard, and educated about their conditions, fostering autonomy and reducing the need for frequent hospital visits.
