Meet Gerly and Barb, Rockhampton Hospital’s new Patient Flow Commanders, helping reduce patients’ time in the emergency department and making sure they are seen by the right person in the right place at the right time. Part of Queensland Health’s Putting Patients First $764 million initiative, the aim is to keep Queenslanders out of hospital and provide alternatives to emergency departments. Gerly and Barb work closely with the Patient Access Coordination Hub, with a priority on getting patients into a safe environment, including hospital wards, Hospital in the Home, back to a nursing home or the Mental Health Inpatient Unit. They’re trouble-shooters and can identify early what services patients might need and overcome potential barriers to maximise efficiency, reduce ambulance ramping, reduce long stays in the ED, promote patient safety and efficient patient flow. #PatientFlow #greatcareforcentralqueenslanders

Coming home from a hospital or nursing home stay can be such a relief. But the transition involves more than just moving locations — it is about the patient adapting to a new daily routine, managing health conditions, and perhaps dealing with new limits on what they can do.

Meet Lainey, one of our nurses who has seen the challenges patients face in traditional healthcare settings, where time is often in short supply. After seeing patients struggle with rushed appointments and unmet needs, she's proud to be a part of a team that does things differently. As an #ExemplarCare member patient, you get: Longer Visits: Our primary care providers spend more time with you, making sure all your questions and concerns are addressed and you never feel rushed. Same-Day Access: We understand that healthcare needs can arise unexpectedly. That's why we offer same or next-day primary care appointments and priority access to our 24/7 walk-in clinic in West Des Moines. Comprehensive Care: We look at the whole person, not just your symptoms, to create a personalized treatment plan that gets to the root cause of your health concerns, so we can help you feel your best.

Would your employees benefit from care when and how (in-person, telehealth, message, phone call) they need it and longer appointments to address all their healthcare needs. This is Lainey’s WHY she loves working for Exemplar Care as she fiercely cares for her patients. Our July NPS score was +95. The average NPS for healthcare is between +38 and +58. As you approach renewal season, consider a health plan, such as Aplos Health Plans that includes #DirectPrimaryCare or consider layering into your High Deductible or Self- Insured plan or as a stand alone option. Consider your options, so your employees can experience the difference of +95 NPS care. Happy, healthy employees increase engagement and reduce overall claims.

The Cleveland Clinic Florida’s innovative 'Hospital At Home' initiative has increased both patient and nurse satisfaction. Learn more here: bit.ly/4asGpQ5 The Cleveland Clinic’s 'Hospital At Home' program launched last year in Florida and is now treating 200+ patients a month. The program has significantly improved patient experience and workplace culture, and the Cleveland Clinic plans to double the size of the program with the goal of having 10% of inpatient admissions treated at home. Chief Medical Operations Officer Richard Rothman, MD said "Our goal is to continue to grow safely. Sustainability of the care delivery model is really going to be dictated by whether outcomes are better, if individuals providing the care are enjoying the work that they're doing, and if we're able to do it at a cost that's comparable or less than the hospital." #Diabetes #HealthCareNews #DiabetesNews #DiabetesCare #Healthcare #TheClevelandClinic #Healthcareathome #acutehomecare #Hospitalcare #patientsatisfaction #patientexperience #TheClevelandClinicFlorida
