🤗 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭! It has been encouraging to hear how the BEAT to TREAT heart failure pathway, using point-of-care NT-proBNP testing and 𝐀𝐈-𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲, is transforming patient experience and clinical outcomes. Feedback from patients who have attended the clinic at Killie Community Hub so far has been extremely positive, with comments about how the experience feels less stressful and intimidating than attending a regular hospital appointment. For many, this has meant timely access to life-saving medication and a reduced risk of an unplanned hospital admission. Congratulations to @pumpinghearts for leading this initiative and keeping patient experience central to the pathway. It is encouraging to see the impact that collaboration between patient advocacy, clinical leadership, and enabling technologies can have. Us2.ai is grateful to be able to support this work with our technology. 📰 You can read more in the press release here: nhsaaa.net/patients-praise-n…
