Dana David+FollowNHS Job Cuts: What’s Really Going Down?NHS trusts are slashing hundreds of frontline clinical jobs and cutting back on key services like diabetes clinics and stop-smoking support to fix a massive budget gap. Nearly half of NHS leaders say they’re already scaling back or about to, and a third are cutting clinical roles. Staff wellbeing and patient care are both at risk, with leaders warning these cuts will hit patient experience hard. It’s a wild time for the NHS—do you think these cuts will help or hurt in the long run? #NHS #HealthcareCrisis #JobCuts #PatientCare #UKNews #Health183Share
Michelle Chen+FollowWhy Custom Meds Are a Game ChangerEver wonder why some people need meds made just for them? Harvard Health says compounded medications are a lifesaver when off-the-shelf drugs don’t cut it—think allergies, weird dosages, or even just making medicine taste better for kids. Meanwhile, big pharma’s spending millions to keep their grip on the market and even suing compounding pharmacies. Kinda wild how much goes on behind the scenes just to get the right meds! #Healthcare #Pharmacy #BigPharma #CompoundedMeds #PatientCare #Health112Share
Terry Brown+FollowHow Case Managers Are Saving HealthcareTurns out, building real relationships with patients can seriously cut healthcare costs and boost quality of life—especially for those with complex needs. This study followed Medicaid patients for a year and found that when case managers actually get to know their clients (not just check boxes), it saved $8,500+ per person and made people feel way better. The secret? Ditching quick fixes for long-term, trust-based support. Could this be the game-changer healthcare needs? #HealthcareInnovation #Medicaid #CaseManagement #PatientCare #HealthEquity #Health00Share

It’s all about teamwork, not going it alone! #MentalHealthMatters #DIYPsychiatry #PeerSupport #PatientCare #SharedDecisionMaking #Health71Share
Dana David+FollowWhy Hospitals Lose $$$ Over Denied ClaimsEver wonder why hospitals are always strapped for cash? Turns out, denied insurance claims are a HUGE part of the problem—almost 1 in 5 claims get denied, and most never get fixed! It’s not just paperwork headaches; these denials cost hospitals billions, burn out staff, and even leave patients with surprise bills. The wild part? Most of these denials are avoidable. Hospitals are finally turning to AI to spot and stop denials before they happen. About time, right? #Healthcare #HospitalLife #AIinHealthcare #InsuranceDenials #PatientCare #Health10Share
jporter+FollowNurses & Docs: Still Faxing in 2024?!Who knew so much of German healthcare still runs on faxes and phone calls? A new study found that nurses and GPs in home care are stuck with old-school communication, and it’s making teamwork tough. Hierarchies, missing info, and overloaded staff mean patients don’t always get the smooth care they deserve. Everyone wants quick, easy, direct chats—but the system needs a major upgrade. Honestly, it’s wild how much depends on who picks up the phone! #Healthcare #Nursing #Doctors #Teamwork #Germany #PatientCare #HealthTech #Health90Share
jporter+FollowWhich Hospitals Are Crushing Safety Grades?Leapfrog just dropped its Spring 2025 hospital safety grades, and some hospitals are seriously stepping up! 346 hospitals scored “Straight A’s” for five report cards in a row, and 11 have been perfect for all 27 rounds. Infection rates are dropping, but there’s still a big gap in patient experience—especially when it comes to staff communication. Fun fact: both big-name and small-town hospitals are nailing it, proving you don’t need deep pockets for top-notch safety. Would you check a hospital’s grade before a procedure? #HospitalSafety #LeapfrogGrades #PatientCare #HealthcareNews #Health60Share

Michelle Welch+FollowA-Fib Patients Missing Key Meds?Just found out most people newly diagnosed with A-Fib in the hospital aren’t getting prescribed blood thinners—even though some are at real risk for stroke! Only about a third of high-risk patients actually get anticoagulants in the year after leaving the hospital. Kinda wild, right? Docs say we need more research, but this feels like a big gap in care for folks who could really use the protection. #AFib #StrokePrevention #HealthNews #PatientCare #Health288Share
