Article on LA Hospital Collaboration Outlines Improvements but Still Highlights Limitations in Mass Healthcare, Says Dr. Michael Farzam
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 11, 2015 -- According to a story published August 7th by Southern California Public Radio, Los Angeles County Harbor-UCLA Hospital has teamed up with Toyota to implement practices and techniques long employed by the automaker to streamline administrative efficiency. The partnership is designed specifically to aid nurses in handling high patient caseloads and organizing all of the supplies and paperwork needed for their treatment. Dr. Michael Farzam of House Call Doctor Los Angeles notes that any improvement in healthcare efficiency should be celebrated, and administrative efficiency is a very important aspect of patient care. Yet, he also notes that this spotlight on the problems associated with healthcare for the masses demonstrates the benefits that personalized concierge medicine in Los Angeles can have for patients. Dr. Farzam outlines several reasons why House Call Doctor Los Angeles allows patients to receive the care they need without the administrative confusion often seen in hospitals.
• Patient Centric Approach – While most health care is set up for the patients to come to the doctors, House Call Doctor Los Angeles has flipped the script on that idea, instead putting the emphasis on the patient. By seeing one patient at a time and reinstituting the time-honored practice of house calls, the doctor’s focus is entirely on the case at hand so they will not be as susceptible to letting small details slip by them. They also avoid the constant distractions that busy doctors’ offices can create.
• Eliminate Certain Mistakes – This type of individualized care benefits the patient not only by providing the full attention of the doctor, it can also prevent many of the often rare, yet serious mistakes that occur when doctors or nurses confuse the treatment plans of various patients. Dr. Farzam also notes that, because the occurrence of patient infections while staying in hospitals is far too common, staying in one’s home for medical care could help prevent an infection from adding to an existing ailment.
• Mobile Technology – House Call Doctor Los Angeles was built around the idea of being mobile, and getting to patients in need as efficiently as possible, says Dr. Farzam. This means that patient records and notes must be recorded electronically so that they are always accessible, yet properly organized so improperly filed papers don’t lead to potentially serious errors.
