An inspiring but frustrating book Buried or Planted to read by Stephanie S. Abbott, MBA, CLSSBB, FACHE that captures her cancer survival journey with a great deal of POOR experiences in care, treatments, communication and compassion. Our healthcare CAN BE better than this and MUST BE. I challenge our various Boards of Medicine, Nursing, and essentially all colleges and certifying bodies relevant to healthcare to consider this book as part of their required reading. Stephanie’s experience and her life deserves improvement in our medical and compassionate treatment of each other. Do One Thing to make it better. Stephanie makes it easy for you at the end of each chapter. Compassion not only improves clinical QUALITY, motivates better patient self-care and drives REVENUE in healthcare organizations that excel in compassionate care.  What will YOU do?  https://lnkd.in/eaSUjV2p

Hospital laboratories, often unseen and behind the scenes, risk being overlooked and undervalued by hospital leadership. This invisibility can lead to insufficient support and investment, despite labs' critical contributions to patient care and the hospital's financial health. The disconnect occurs because many healthcare providers only interact with labs on a specific basis and fail to recognize that labs generate over 70% of the medical record's quantitative data. Financial considerations primarily drive hospital leadership's perspective, emphasizing the need for labs to demonstrate their value explicitly. Hospital executives must invest in and value their laboratories and understand the labs' essential role in enhancing patient care and contributing to financial stability.

Leading European Hospitals are implementing H2O outcome sets We are over the moon about a very important milestone for making patient-centric healthcare in Europe a reality. Members of the European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) are rolling out H2O outcome sets to collect patient-reported outcomes in a standardized way. Together, we have defined standards for collecting patient-reported outcomes and testing them in the clinical day-to-day. What has been a vision for long, is now becoming reality as the project is entering the implementation phase.   Among the first to implement H2O outcome sets are the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the MedUni Wien. Already two clinics within Charité – in the area of IBD and diabetes - are using the so-called H2O pragmatic sets, aiming at keeping the effort around the collection process itself as low as possible, for patients and clinicians. Also, the Medical University Vienna has started to use the H2O outcome sets in their diabetes clinic for collecting PROs. A major milestone not only for patients and clinicians, but also for researchers all over the world. Join us in celebrating European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) their members and this major breakthrough in making real-world evidence-based decision making and patient empowerment in healthcare a reality.
