In today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, there's a growing need for specialized care with personalized access and treatment. A significant portion of the patient journey now occurs outside the hospital settings, highlighting the urgency for sustainable and equitable solutions to close critical gaps in healthcare access. Reaching patients outside the hospitals extends healthcare beyond traditional settings, making it more accessible, especially for those in underserved or rural areas where hospitals, health centers, and physicians are not readily available. This is particularly crucial for managing chronic conditions, which require continuous and high-level care that's challenging to provide within the confines of a hospital. At Axios International, we are dedicated to bridging these access gaps through our partnered patient assistance programs and the patient support programs we manage. By adopting a multistakeholder approach, we ensure patients receive accurate diagnoses, support in accessing treatments, and ongoing assistance to maximized adherence. With our patient apps, we also provide awareness, tools, and resources to help them succeed and simplify their healthcare journey.

On #NationalRuralHealthDay, a new analysis by Dobson DaVanzo & Associates, LLC, and the Coalition to Strengthen America's Healthcare highlights that hospital integration can provide a lifeline to financially vulnerable rural hospitals, ensuring communities maintain access to critical health care services.   Key findings from the report: ▪ Financial Stability: Hospital systems help stabilize rural hospitals' finances, with total margins improving post-affiliation or merger. ▪ Access to Care: 55% of rural hospital closures between 2011-2021 were standalone facilities that lacked support of a larger system. 1 in 3 hospitals that were at high risk of closure were no longer high-risk following a merger or acquisition. 2 in 3 hospitals that were at high risk of closure were no longer high-risk following affiliation. ▪ Improved Outcomes: Integration addresses staffing shortages, updates technology, and standardizes care protocols for better patient health outcomes.

We are proud to have played a key role in uniting two major hospital trust systems into one with our Integration Engine for the Gateshead Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC). This powerful solution connects systems from Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust and Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and ensures: ✅ Unified data: A single source of truth for diagnostic information across both trusts. ✅ Enhanced efficiency: Streamlined workflows that reduce administrative overhead. ✅ Improved patient care: Faster, more coordinated care delivery. By bridging the gap between these two trusts, we’ve created a foundation for collaboration and innovation, making diagnostics more accessible and efficient for patients in the region. This project demonstrates the power of technology in breaking down silos and transforming healthcare. Together, we’re enabling a smarter, more connected NHS. 🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eZq2_iSb #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #IntegrationSolutions #PatientCare #NHSPartnerships
