Once again, Hospital at Home continues to prove it's impact; whether it's reducing readmission rates, lowering risk of delirium and falls, or having higher rates of patient satisfaction. Hospital at Home/care at home models deserve legislative support and are necessary for sustainability in the healthcare system.

#ICYMI 🏥 🩺 Local and state leaders broke ground on the Valencia County Hospital in Los Lunas. The hospital will take about a year and a half to construct and will be run by a partnership between Community Hospital Corporation and Lovelace Health System. The hospital will have its own emergency department and two operating rooms along with 11 in-patient rooms for overnight stays. Patients will have access to MRIs, X-rays and a pharmacy, something patients today have to go to Albuquerque for. https://lnkd.in/gmwv7t-6

Step 1: Advance Directives... Had a great conversation via Linkedin with Ilene Corina BCPA She / Her (despite me totally flubbing her name initially, sorry Ilene!) about what the takeCHARGE Campaign is doing to advance patient care and get patients the representation they need. They have a great 5 step process with some excellent content for professional patient advocates and for caregivers/family members/patients alike to prepare for medical visits. Step 1, as above, is about advance directives. A VERY important first step, especially from an ER standpoint.
