"Continuing the wave of inspiration at the 6th Annual International Patient Experience Symposium, Dr. Joy Khoury – Head of Communications and Patient Advocacy MEA at Novartis Gulf | نوفارتس الخليج, and Patient Speaker Mohammed Younis – Senior Account Manager at CNS, took the stage to deliver profound insights on 'An Inside Perspective on How Your Heart is Doing.' Here's a glimpse into Mohammed's heartfelt sharing: 1. Personal Journey Sharing: Mohammed courageously opened up about his own journey of misdiagnosis, offering profound insights into the challenges and emotional tolls faced along the way. 2. Navigating Healthcare: Attendees gained invaluable knowledge on effectively navigating the healthcare system and advocating for their health needs. Mohammed emphasized the critical importance of receiving timely and appropriate treatment, shedding light on the pivotal role of patient advocacy. This discussion underscored the necessity of incorporating patient perspectives to enrich the understanding and management of heart health. Let's continue to champion patient-centered care! #IPXSymposium #IPX #PX2024 #PatientExperience #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #healthcare #healthtech #patientsfirst #patientoutcomes

#DYK most adults will face at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime?   At the plenary session on Global Patient Safety Leaders Group during the 3rd #G20Brazil health working group meeting, Krithika Raghavan, Senior Manager of Advocacy and Communication at FIND, gave an intervention statement on addressing diagnostics errors to ensure #PatientSafety. [🇧🇷]   She highlighted how the G20 and Global Patient Safety Leaders Group can strengthen diagnostic safety by advocating for: 📍 Strengthened workforce capacity at all levels of healthcare to minimize diagnostic errors   📍 Digital health solutions, including AI and clinical decision support systems, to improve healthcare worker capacity to minimize errors during screening, diagnosis and referrals in decentralized systems. 📍 Monitoring frameworks to learn from diagnostics errors.   Read the full statement here: https://lnkd.in/eBCuPwBg

Two important and useful publications were recently released as part of the World Health Organization's efforts to enhance patient safety practice worldwide. These two documents are Medication without Harm: Policy Brief and Global burden of preventable medication-related harm in health care: a systematic review. These two reports contain information for healthcare professionals, policy-makers, healthcare leaders, academic institutions, industry, and other related stakeholders. I was honored to be part of the later report and I advise all to read them.

The Australian Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Policy and Methods Review is a major initiative designed to improve patient access to essential medicines and treatments in Australia. It’s especially focused on addressing inequities, ensuring that underrepresented groups like First Nations and pediatric patients receive the care they need. This is about more than just shortening wait times—it's about making sure that the entire healthcare system works for all Australians. By improving transparency, reducing duplication, and streamlining approval processes, these reforms will have a direct impact on patient care and outcomes. GHLF Australia - commemorating our 10th year in Australia - played a key role in contributing to this report, amplifying the patient perspective through ongoing collaboration with government and healthcare leaders. Our advocacy ensures that the voices of chronic disease patients are front and center in decision-making processes. This milestone report is a testament to what can be achieved when patients, government, and industry work together. Congratulations to everyone involved in making these reforms a reality, especially Mark Butler MP, Minister for Health and Aged Care, for his leadership. It was an honor to meet and visit with him and we look forward to future collaboration!

The Health Innovation Network Polypharmacy Programme has published a press release about the impact their NHS-endorsed patient information materials are having in breaking down communication barriers, addressing health inequalities and improving the outcomes of Structured Medication Reviews (SMR). https://ow.ly/Zvbq50TXT6x The resources are available in 12 different community languages, easy-read versions, and an animation to further improve engagement with seldom-heard communities. Twenty five primary care networks (PCNs) in areas of high deprivation are being funded by the Health Innovation Network to drive the uptake of Structured Medication Reviews through use of the patient information materials, supporting the NHS aim to reduce healthcare inequalities across England as part of the Core20PLUS5 approach. https://ow.ly/yoiV50TXT6y Working together with national programme team, Health Innovation Wessex is supporting six PCNs in the region to deliver implementation projects aimed to improve access to SMRs for seldom heard communities. Find out more about our Health Innovation Wessex Polypharmacy Programme where we will share learning from the implementation projects early in 2025. https://ow.ly/twGY50TXT6z #Polypharmacy #HealthInnovation #HealthcareInequalities #StructuredMedicationReview

Many believe relationships are the lifeblood of doing business in community successfully. Whilst many stakeholder relationships are still cemented by contracts and written agreements, the need for human-centric, trust-based partnerships is becoming increasingly evident. It takes work to change mindsets and systems. As leaders, we shape tomorrow by the choices we make today. Don’t wait until you have it all planned out .. All you need to do is take that first step … and that next step after that.
