Last week, our colleague, @VictoriaHarvey, contributed a compelling industry perspective at Seminar Four, ‘Exploring Value-Based Models in Healthcare,’ hosted by\u00a0@BioMelb.<\/p>\n
Value-Based Healthcare (VBH) represents a care delivery paradigm that evaluates health outcomes against the comprehensive costs of healthcare provision, aiming to enhance both patient well-being and healthcare operational efficiency.<\/p>\n
From a procurement standpoint, the significance of implementing VBH lies in shifting focus from discussions on “per unit price” to prioritising the critical aspects: patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency.<\/p>\n
Within the intricacies of VBH, Dr. Deborah Cole articulated a pivotal outlook, aligning with VBH’s ultimate objective: placing the patient and desired outcomes as the “North Star”.<\/p>\n
Victoria’s assertion regarding a pandemic serving as a catalyst to prompt entry into the healthcare system might raise eyebrows, yet it starkly illustrates an inherent flaw in healthcare: its reactive nature rather than proactive strategies.<\/p>\n
Research indicates that disturbances to textiles within clinical settings contribute to the dissemination of pathogens into the surrounding air, subsequently contaminating immediate and non-immediate environments.<\/p>\n
An illuminating study showcasing the efficacy of biocidal linens in curbing nosocomial infections presents a compelling case for adopting biocidal textiles across various healthcare settings\u2014be it medical facilities or elderly care homes, addressing high infection risks.<\/p>\n
The call to action goes beyond linens; it extends to all soft furnishings, carpets, curtains, fibers, and foams within healthcare environments.<\/p>\n
However, challenges persist. Who in the healthcare industry holds the reins to champion the benefits of our products? Why isn’t the integration of this technology a mandatory standard across all healthcare furnishings and fixtures?<\/p>\n
We’re on a mission to drive change, advocating for the adoption of biocidal surface modifying coatings to be used during manufacture of all soft furnishing fixture and fittings across healthcare setting procurement.<\/p>\n
Let’s collaborate to ensure our healthcare spaces prioritise patient safety and well-being above all else.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week, our colleague, @VictoriaHarvey, contributed a compelling industry perspective at Seminar Four, ‘Exploring Value-Based Models in Healthcare,’ hosted by\u00a0@BioMelb.
