As advocates for patient well-being and safety, CRNAs find themselves at the intersection of medical expertise and compassionate care. Facilitating the autonomy of CRNAs is not about asserting independence for its own sake. It’s about fostering an environment that nurtures the unique skills, experiences, and perspectives we bring to healthcare. In this blog, Erik Rauch, DNP, MBA, CRNA, dissects the three reasons supporting professional autonomy improves outcomes for clinicians and patients alike. Read here: https://ow.ly/8I1i50RiJK2

Corporate Strategy Quarter 1 Progress Update When we launched our new Corporate Strategy earlier this year, we committed to keeping our patients, community, partners and staff updated on how we’re performing against our five strategic priorities (and the specific deliverables within each) we agreed for this year. As a reminder: 1. Our promise to our community (our vision) is looking after our community and providing excellent care. 2. Our values are: • Open and honest • Respect • Kindness 3. Our Strategic Objectives are: People, Patient Safety, Performance, Potential and Place. This is our first quarterly update which we discussed at our public Board meeting earlier today. How we did in Quarter 1: There are 77 deliverables in our Corporate Strategy Delivery Plan 2024/25 in Quarter 1. At the end of June, 3 actions were rated red (significantly delayed), 6 actions (partially delayed) and 68 actions green and are on track.

"Clinical Effectiveness is built on the Foundations of Operational Efficiencies and Excellence." This is my quick reminder to those trying to draft good Hospital IT road maps. This is even the spirit of EMRAM. The best doctors and clinicians will give suboptimal service delivery and have poor outcomes if the operations of the hospital are horrible. Improving turn-around times, integrating IT systems, eliminating paper, minimizing data errors, and improving information access--all these boost capabilities of the organization to deliver better care.

Structured communication, particularly during transitions in care, is essential to delivering safe, high-quality care. In the latest edition of our Voices of Patient Safety interview series, Patricia McGaffigan, Vice President of Safety at IHI, discusses the importance of implementing structured communication at every level to reduce the risks of communication failures and elevate the national standard of care.  Read how Patricia’s extensive experience in clinical practice, academia, and medical technology innovation influenced her life’s work in advancing patient safety. https://lnkd.in/e6yaUfxp #patientsafety #communication #healthcare #patients #handoffs

In a Porter Research study of 100 health system executive leaders, 72% of respondents indicated that their clinics were operating well under the optimal level of exam room utilization. Why? Evidence points toward a lack of native connection between room schedules, real-time provider schedules, and patient information. The result? - Lack of accurate visibility into exam room usage and availability - Inability to measure and track utilization trends - Failure to make proactive adjustments to improve utilization https://lnkd.in/gRdidU-j
