There are a number of arms to this issue. Undoubtedly we require cultures and workload management structures that support collegiality, inter-professional collaboration, and institutional challenge and accountability that leads to the kind of change that optimizes excellence in patient care. The second, and not to be considered secondary in priority to the former, requires a concerted understanding and integration of the ‘experience’ of professional role transition for healthcare professionals. The experience of transition significantly influences and impacts on the new professionals assimilation into their new work context.

The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model fosters a patient-centric and team-based approach to healthcare. In a PCMH, you are at the center of your care, surrounded by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, specialists, and support staff. They collaborate closely to provide you with personalized, comprehensive, and coordinated care. ⠀ 💡 This model emphasizes proactive and preventive care, focusing on wellness and disease prevention rather than solely treating illnesses. It aims to address not just your immediate health needs but also your long-term health goals. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #patientcenteredmedicalhome #pcmhmodel #teambasedcare #healthcareempowerment #proactivehealthcare #preventivecare #patientengagement #healthoutcomes #chronicdiseasemanagement #informeddecisions

WORLD PATIENT SAFETY DAY ; SEPTEMBER 17TH 2023 Every September we take time to emphasize on patient safety. This year's theme is Engaging the patient and the family for safe care, while the slogan is ELEVATING THE PATIENT'S VOICE. SQHK is not left behind in this effort. We drum the beats for safe care and advocate for patients being heard, getting safe care and being engaged in the care they recieve. How can we elevate the patients voice in our clinics, wards, in emergency care, at community, in chronic care, in acute care? What are some of the practical ways of having the patients empowered to be enablers of desired outcomes? How do we win together, having care goals that are shared between the patients and clinicians? How do we have shared decision making in healthcare, listening to the prefferences of the patients and the families? How do we empower the families to support thier loved ones at the comfort of thier homes? How do we support end of life care offering emphathy, comfort, dignity and information required? #engagingpatientsforsafecare #qualityhealthcare #patientcentriccare Caleb Mike Mulongo, Rhoda K., Frank Wafula, Daniel Kiura, Lydia Okutoyi

While Patient Safety Week primarily focuses on hospital settings, we want to extend the conversation to the crucial period after discharge. At Comfort Keepers, we understand that patient safety doesn't end at the hospital doors. Our dedicated caregivers play a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth and secure transition to home care. We work closely with discharge planners, healthcare professionals, and families to provide the support needed for a safe and successful recovery at home. Our services encompass medication management, assistance with daily activities, and monitoring vital signs to prevent complications. We prioritize patient safety by offering a reliable presence in the home, reducing the risk of falls, medication errors, and other post-discharge challenges. This Patient Safety Awareness Week, let's remember the importance of keeping patients safe not only within the hospital walls but also as they recover at home. #PatientSafetyWeek #HomeCare #PatientSafety #Caregivers #Healthcare #RecoveryCare #ComfortKeepers #PatientCare
