Layton Construction’s Post

When it comes to creating environments that make a positive impact on patient care, strategic capital improvements are key. HCA Healthcare’s investment in capital improvements topped $4.2 billion in 2022 for major projects, infrastructure, IT and smaller hospital-level investments, and topped more than $4.7 billion in 2023. Future plans include investing more than $5 billion in 2024. In the past year, no fewer than 120 major construction projects were completed. Improvements included multiple tower expansions, a rehabilitation service line addition at HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital, a freestanding behavioral health hospital at Live Oak Mental Health and Wellness in Ladson, South Carolina and the reopening of Forest Park acute care program at Methodist Hospital Landmark in San Antonio, Texas.

Excellence is embedded in our mission.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Many states still receive very low scores on the Leapfrog patient safety ratings. Why do we allow healthcare facilities to operate despite these low patient safety scores? Hospitals with a patient safety score of C or lower have an over 80% higher fatality rate due to preventable medical errors. These hospitals are endangering patients, while our regulators seem to look away. "The Leapfrog Group recently contracted with the Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality to update its estimate of deaths due to errors, accidents, injuries and infections at “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” and “F” hospitals. Overall, an estimated 160,000 lives are lost annually from the avoidable medical errors that are accounted for in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, a significant improvement from 2016, when researchers estimated 205,000 avoidable deaths. The analysis also found that D and F hospitals carry nearly twice the risk of mortality of A hospitals. Over 50,000 lives could be saved if all hospitals performed at the level of A graded hospitals."

The Leapfrog Group grades are out. The LFG Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital rating focused exclusively on hospital safety. 'A' grade hospitals proudly hang lobby banners and celebrate. A few 'B' hospitals do the same. What do the 'C' grade hospitals do? Poorly led hospitals with toxic and abusive 'leadership' force good people out the door. Patient safety grades may falter with high turnover and transient staff. Is it any wonder frogs are limp or dying when care teams are sparse? Healthcare with a heart is safe. 🔥 #healthcareonlinkedin #nursesonlinkedin #patientsafety

Wondering how quickly we can install showers for hospital remodels? For us, speed and safety go hand in hand. Much of our prep work happens outside the wet area, allowing us to be on-site for only a short amount of time. Our efficient remodel process can have a shower installed in as little as one day, reducing renovation downtime—ideal for busy hospitals. https://buff.ly/3X5cKJu #BathFitterCommercial #bathroom #remodel #bathremodel #bathtransformation #healthcare

Happy Thanksgiving. A positive EBIDA trend to report in independent hospitals in the October. Median margins hit their highest levels in at least eighteen months. While some of this is attributable to growth in net patient revenue, the underlying drives were meaningful expense productivity gains. Want to learn more about independent hospital performance?
