How important is convenience for patients and their families? Previously serving as a nurse practitioner for chronic disease patients, Medical Education Lead Allison Mack saw first-hand the effect regular IV infusions can have on patients and their families. From driving hours to and from the specialty hospital each week to spending money on hotel stays, the current standard of care, especially for rare diseases, can be difficult to manage. The enFuse® drug delivery system can be administered in the clinic or at home, allowing greater flexibility and less travel requirements for families. At Enable Injections, we’re redefining drug delivery for the benefit of patients. #drugdelivery #homeinfusion #subcutaneous #enFuse

As we near Sepsis Awareness Month, Cheryl Reinking, Chief Nursing Officer at El Camino Health, recently shared insights on KCBS Radio about the significant impact of FloPatch in Sepsis care. El Camino was the first hospital to implement FloPatch, and Cheryl discussed its key features, particularly its effectiveness in fluid resuscitation. For a deeper understanding of how FloPatch is enhancing patient outcomes, we invite you to listen to the one-minute interview. #FlosonicsMedical #FloPatch #ElCaminoHealth #SepsisAwarenessMonth #PatientCare #SepsisAwareness #Sepsis #CNO #Hospital #FluidResuscitation

OUCH! 🤕 Sudden illness or injury can occur without warning, and while no one typically plans a trip to the Emergency Department (ED), everyone should know what to expect after they arrive. Step 1️⃣ – Triage Triage is the process of determining the severity of a patient’s condition. Patients with the most severe emergencies receive immediate treatment. That is why some patients may receive medical care before you, even if they arrived at the ED after you. Step 2️⃣ – Registration The registration process is important for two reasons: it lets the ED staff gather information for your patient record and obtain your consent for treatment. Both are necessary for ordering diagnostic tests to enable the physician to determine your best treatment option. Step 3️⃣ – Treatment Depending on your condition, a registered nurse may start an intravenous (IV) line. The IV line will allow the nursing staff to quickly administer medications or fluids that may be ordered by a physician. A nurse or technician may also take blood or urine samples, or they may send you for an X-ray or other imaging test before a physician sees you. During treatment, the staff in the ED will help make sure you are comfortable and informed. Step 4️⃣ – Reevaluation Your condition will be reevaluated after test results come back because the results may give the physician additional insight into the type of treatment you need. The staff may also contact your primary care physician for additional information. Step 5️⃣ – Discharge Part of our job is to keep you healthy long after you have left the ED. All patients receive written home-care instructions to follow when discharged. The instructions describe how you can safely care for your wound or illness, directions for prescribed medications and recommendations for follow-up medical care.

The Post-ICU diary helps critical care staff engage the family more effectively in the patient's care. In the ICU Liberation Bundle, known as the A-F Bundle, the F-element emphasizes 'Family Engagement and Empowerment'. Unfortunately, this crucial aspect is often overlooked Initiating family involvement can be delayed due to time constraints and effort required. Post-ICU addresses this challenge by actively involving families in care through journaling. This proactive approach can significantly impact the length of stay, occurrence of PICS, and overall post-ICU recovery, thereby influencing the hospital's bottom line. The digital diary is the only scientifically proven tool that directly enhances family care and engagement. Contact us to learn more about the Post-ICU diary and the role it can play in your ICU.

When was the last time you demanded Patient Blood Management #pbm "evidence-based practice" while waiting for your #Nurse, #PA, or #Doctor in the Emergency Room? While topics like these are commonly discussed in conferences and webinars, what patients truly need in such moments is clear and welcoming communication. Patient Blood Management plays a crucial role in medical consultations, especially in Emergency Room settings. Our newly launched initiative, the Collaborative Optimal Outcome Language (COOL), is designed to foster a culture of effective communication and collaboration in PBM. By equipping Multidisciplinary Medical Teams with COOL training, hospitals can significantly enhance Patient experiences and outcomes. Let's make every patient interaction in the ER as COOL as possible. https://lnkd.in/eV_E_FYg

🎄‘Tis the Season for a Critical Care Christmas Tree 🎄 It has lights twinkling and the IV bag ornaments a hangin’, but just like presents under the tree, each one of those IV lines needs a labelin’! IV line labeling is when a label with the name of the medication is placed at the top of the IV line and another at the end of the line closest to the patient. This can greatly reduce the chance for medication errors. With this many IV medications, most have to share the same intravenous access they infuse into, but some IV meds can only go into certain ones-like a central line versus a peripheral line. There are also some medications that require a dedicated line and infuse alone, while many medications can infuse with others - but only after they are confirmed to be compatible. This is why it is critically important to have those lines labeled! So make sure to have those IVs labeled, listed and checked twice and keep those lines organized and looking nice! 🩺 Taking my 13+ years of nursing experience and using it to assist in the legal field ⚖️ jessica.medina.lnc@gmail.com #legalnurseconsultant #medicalmalpractice #personalinjury #criticalcarenurse #emergencyroomnurse #traumanurse #nursesonlinkedin
