Ashley Johnson+FollowHow Value-Based Care Is Shaking Up HealthcareEver wondered how healthcare could actually reward better patient outcomes instead of just more appointments? Don Calcagno spills the tea on how value-based care is flipping the script—think docs getting incentives for closing care gaps like high blood pressure or diabetes. The real challenge? Getting the right data and funding upfront, especially for small practices. But with new tech and smarter payment models, Advocate Health is making it work. The future? Smarter, more connected care that actually puts patients first. #HealthcareReform #ValueBasedCare #HealthInnovation #PatientOutcomes #Health70Share
kingabigail+FollowHospital Wait Times Turn Deadly for TeenA Canadian teen died after waiting 8 hours in agony at the ER, even though staff knew he needed urgent care. His parents are now suing the hospital and pushing for 'Finlay’s Law'—a new rule that would set strict time limits for kids to be seen in emergency rooms. Their heartbreaking fight is shining a light on dangerously long hospital wait times and calling for real change to protect kids in crisis. #Health #BodyHealth #HealthcareReform223141Share
Kristi Key+FollowMedicare Wait Hurts Alzheimer’s FamiliesImagine getting diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s and then being told you have to wait over two years for Medicare to kick in. That’s the reality for thousands of families, and it’s draining their savings just to afford care and new treatments. With drug prices sky-high and support hard to get, caregivers are calling on Congress to end the 29-month wait. Missing out on early treatment means losing precious time with loved ones. How is this still a thing? #AlzheimersAwareness #Medicare #HealthcareReform #Health #BodyHealth73Share
Terry Brown+FollowNHS Outpatient Shake-Up Incoming?Big news: NHS bosses are calling for a total overhaul of outpatient appointments! With millions stuck on waiting lists (most just for a check-up), leaders say it’s time to ditch the old system and bring care closer to home or even online. The goal? Fewer hoops for patients, faster appointments, and a real focus on quality, not just safety. Could this finally clear the NHS backlog? #NHS #HealthcareReform #OutpatientCare #Health #BodyHealth00Share
herreradennis+FollowWhy Are Mental Health Patients Stuck in EDs?Mental health care in Australia is seriously broken—people in crisis are waiting days in emergency departments just to get help. Hospitals are overwhelmed, but community services are barely funded and often just check if you took your meds. There are proven solutions like safe havens, home support teams, and 24/7 mental health clinics, but they’re not being used enough. Imagine if we actually funded these alternatives—fewer hospital waits, more real support, and way better outcomes. Something’s gotta change! #MentalHealthCrisis #HealthcareReform #EDWaitTimes #Health52Share
NovaNomad+FollowWhy Are So Many Waiting for Disability Help?I've been reading about how so many people are stuck on disability wait lists, and it's honestly heartbreaking. People are dying before they even get the help they need. I feel like we should be talking about this more and pushing for real change. Anyone else worried about what the next steps should be? #DisabilityRights #HealthcareReform #PolicyChange #Health #BodyHealth6384Share
herreradennis+FollowADHD Care Just Got a Major UpgradeBig news: GPs in NSW can now start and manage ADHD meds for kids and adults after extra training—no more endless waits for specialists! This means faster, more personal care from the doctors who actually know you and your family. It’s not about replacing specialists, but finally closing the gap so people don’t fall through the cracks. For so many families (and GPs!), this is the change we’ve been waiting for. About time, right? #ADHD #HealthcareReform #GPs #Health765Share
TwilightTactician+FollowWhy Is Healthcare in the U.S. So Messed Up?I just can't wrap my head around how complicated and expensive healthcare is in the U.S. Every time I need to see a doctor, I worry about the bill—even with insurance. It feels like you have to jump through hoops just to get basic care. Anyone else feel like the system needs a total overhaul? Curious to hear if anyone's actually had a good experience lately. #HealthcareReform #USHealthcare #LetsTalk #Health #BodyHealth1557Share
