When the choice is between urgent/emergency care vs rural hospital which one do you choose? For rural hospitals it is a choice between survival and surviving. The imact in rural areas will be devastating. But then again, some healthcare is better than no healthcare. #ruralhealthcare #ruralhealth #ruralhospitals #accesstohealthcare https://lnkd.in/e7bWHsWg

As the Supreme Court calls for standardization of healthcare rates, hospitals maintain their own perspectives on the factors influencing these rates. Undoubtedly, I concur those considerations such as the quality of treatment, available facilities, and the expertise of medical professionals are pivotal. It is imperative to introduce interventions that comprehensively assess these factors to establish rates, ensuring that the policyholders can access treatment without undue financial concern. Emphasizing stress-free, high-quality healthcare is paramount, necessitating the implementation of robust systems to support this endeavor. #insurancenews #insuranceclaim #healthcare #healthinsurance #medicalaffairs #polifyx https://lnkd.in/ggkA8t7C

GPs often and justifiably use the argument that, if there aren’t enough GPs, hospital emergency departments will be overrun by patients who do not need to be there at a huge cost to the public purse. However, it seems that some governments are working on a viable counter-argument. Victorian Government funding of a 24/7 Virtual Emergency Department is paying dividends – helping an estimated 256,000 patients, the service helped 86% avoid unnecessary trip to hospitals by providing assessment, advice, treatment and referrals. Additional funding will grow the VVED capacity to be able to assist 1000 patients a day across Victoria.

Another ‘Code Yellow’ has been called for the Royal Darwin and Palmerston Hospital. The Royal Darwin and Palmerston Hospital is experiencing a peak in demand due to an increase in patient occupancy, combined with ongoing staffing pressures. Today’s ‘Code Yellow’ comes on top of a further fifteen ‘Code Yellows’ at the Royal Darwin Hospital over the last couple of years with shut-downs in February 2021, August 2021, two in September 2021, February 2022, August 2022, November 2022, March 2023, May 2023, June 2023, two in August 2023, September 2023, October 2023, and again in March 2024. The Chief Minister’s performance is nothing short of a disgrace! On top of this, the Chief Minister has ignored the urgent need for renal dialysis facilities in Elliott, Canteen Creek, and in Ti Tree, while additional chairs and beds are needed at Tennant Creek, Borroloola, Ali Curung and in Alpurrurulam. Chief Minister, the NT Health system is in crisis! It is time to stop the chaos and dysfunction and start delivering for all Territorians. #BoundlessIncompetence

As India grapples with an ageing population and rising healthcare costs, in-home healthcare is gaining popularity. Surveys indicate that over 80% of elderly patients prefer home care, which is 25-30% cheaper than hospitalization. In-home care enhances family involvement, reduces infection risks, and ensures high satisfaction through remote monitoring, improving overall quality of life.
