My Medical Advisor wants your patients to come out of the hospital alive and in better health then when they went in. Many hospitals have made advances in technology and methodology in patient care that have made it possible for patients to survive their medical crisis, who just a few years ago would have been disabled or even tragically lost their lives. But even with all of the wonderful transformations that have occurred, hospitals can still be one of the most dangerous places a patient can visit. The intent is to “do no harm”, but the fact is that the patients are at the hospital's mercy during the most vulnerable time in their life. One study from the Institute of Medicine reports between 44,000 and 98,000 patients die each year due to medical errors. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 1.7 million patients will acquire an infection during their hospital stay, and around 100,000 will die from those infections this year. In comparison, FOX News reports that only about 40,000 will die from auto related accidents this year. Hospitals need every advantage in their healthcare service, and My Medical Advisor wants to put your hospital on the top for patient safety and satisfaction.
Where are your scores? Is your hospital ready for all of the healthcare changes that will occur with Value Based Purchasing? It is estimated that between 2-5% of your reimbursement could be at risk, and in the current economic state, this could mean the difference of your hospital staying in operation or closing the doors.
Did you know?
- That HCAHPS patient surveys will have a direct affect on your hospital’s reimbursement?
- All items on the HCAHPS may carry equal weight and may be used to determine your hospital payments?
- When you conduct surveys of your patients while in the hospital or during discharge phone calls, you are not allowed to ask any of the HCAHPS survey questions?
- Surveys for physicians, home care, nursing homes, etc. are being developed and will soon be implemented.
