Polyclinics and Labour's Digital Health vision NHS polyclinics are large healthcare facilities that provide a range of services, including general medical care, specialist care, diagnostic testing, treatment and rehabilitation, preventive care, education and counseling. > They are often located in community settings, making them easy to get to. They also offer extended hours, making it easier for patients to see a doctor when they need to. > NHS polyclinics were first introduced in England in 2008 as part of a wider reform of the NHS. The aim was to provide patients with a more convenient and affordable way to access a range of healthcare services. > NHS polyclinics have been met with mixed reactions. Some people have welcomed them as a way to improve access to healthcare, while others have expressed concerns about the quality of care and the potential for privatisation. > Overall, the Labour party's digital health plans for the NHS aim to improve prevention, access, efficiency, and patient empowerment. However, successful implementation will require careful consideration of funding, infrastructure, data privacy, and training for healthcare professionals.

Next up for cost comparison should be in primary healthcare. Membership clinics like Medcan vs care in Community Health Centres and Family Health Teams (e.g. frequency and necessity of referrals to costly Medicare funded specialists and testing). and Pharmacy chain walk-in clinics vs family physicians providing comprehensive care (e.g. impact on ER visits) https://lnkd.in/gyrM7FGW

This mid-sized gynaecological healthcare centre is a well-known clinic with two centres in Zürich and Horgen that looks after women’s health — distinguished by its dedicated team of health practitioners and nurses and remarkable patient flow. They approached us to foster a seamless and effective communication channel between patients and healthcare professionals, ensuring a continuous pulse on patient satisfaction and areas for improvement. We set up two quick surveys. One is given to patients on a tablet before seeing their doctor to get a sense of what they hope from the visit. The second one is handed out after the appointment to see how it went and if the patient has any suggestions. The dual-survey approach – integrating short welcome surveys for patients to complete before their consultation and review surveys post-visit – is a practicable and versatile survey technique applicable in many healthcare practices. This strategy aims to capture real-time actionable feedback that directly reflects the perceptions and experiences of patients.

According to an in-depth analysis by Harvard Medical, patients are more likely to fall, get new infections, or experience other forms of harm during their stay in a hospital after it is acquired by a private equity firm. One potential solution? Unions! Doctors across the country are unionizing now more than ever in response to the corporatization of hospitals and the sharp decrease of healthcare quality brought on by this for-profit ownership model that prioritizes profits over patients.

Independent primary care doctors are innovating and adapting to ever-changing demands of patient needs, technological advancements, and the greater health care landscape. One study published in The American Journal of Managed Care showed small practices reduced patient spend greater than large practices. The AJMA found that over 80% of solo primary care practices were privately owned as were over 35% of practices comprised of two to five physicians. #independentphysicians #accountablecare #primarycare #CMS https://lnkd.in/gr8E5Mb3

It's a joy to be able to work with clinical teams at different organisations across the UK and Ireland to understand how technology like Isla Health can be leveraged to make things easier and simpler for clinicians and patients. The Delivery team at Isla spend time collaborating with clinical teams to understand existing processes and the challenges or pain points that exist within those processes. This helps identify the bits of Isla's broad functionality that is best suited to the clinical team and allows us to design and implement a bespoke new pathway or process that overcomes the challenges identified. This approach ensures that clinical insights are at the core of our implementations and that the tool can be used flexibly across multiple specialties. At Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust and Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Isla is being used to support wound care in two different ways: 1) Empowering clinician capture of data that is automatically synced to the relevant EPR/EMR 2) Enabling patients, carers, and loved ones to quickly capture and submit data pertaining to their wounds (no download/login required = fewer blockers to uptake) The presence of this high quality data in these organisations has improved clinician to clinician communication, identified patient deterioration and non-healing wounds, and introduced a number of productivity benefits for clinical teams - all while improving and maintaining high quality patient care.

Wound Care Revolution: Improved Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) collaboration and clinician time saved with data sharing platform. Central London Community Healthcare (CLCH) and Nottinghamshire Trusts showcase Isla’s positive impact on efficiency and sustainability. Wound care poses a significant and escalating challenge for the NHS, with an annual expenditure of approximately £8.3 billion, expected to rise alongside our ageing population. Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) collaboration is essential in wound care and this is optimised through the Isla platform, enabling real-time image sharing that transforms Tissue Viability Nurse (TVN) deployment models, allowing TVNs to efficiently advise and spread their expertise across a broader patient base, improving wound care provision. At CLCH, Isla’s impact is saving 5.4% of clinicians’ working day and also aligns with National Wound Care Strategy goals for risk stratification. At Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Isla’s multifaceted impact is saving £155,260 annually, reducing face-to-face interactions, and contributing to a substantial reduction in clinical time, CO2 emissions, and travel miles.

Delayed discharges cost the NHS £820 million annually… We’re here to help change that. MiiCare's latest partnership with De Montfort University, Connected Places Catapult, NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB, and Willows Health (NHS) is developing a tailored virtual care solution for the Discharge to Assess – Home First pathway. 🏥 Through this initiative, 150 patients will now experience personalised monitoring and assessment using our advanced D2A solution in the comfort of their homes. Whilst our user-centric approach, integrating feedback from stakeholders including discharge hub teams, clinicians, and patients, ensures a solution that meets diverse needs. With innovative algorithms capturing comprehensive patient data, including physical, physiological, and psychosocial biomarkers, our AI-augmented approach promises to optimise the D2A process. 🩺 If you would like to learn more about this project, you can do so here. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eY-qjcNt #HealthcareInnovation #Healthtech  #VirtualCare
