With the national nursing shortage being the crisis it is, it is likely that, throughout the nation, we will begin to see hospitals close services, consolidate services, and even close. This thread provides some examples of what is brewing....nashvillepost.com/business/healt…

Ballad Health is unique in that we sustain rural hospitals through cross subsidization. We will continue to prioritize this access, but must also warn that there are limits to what we can do as we see continued inflationary pressure and insurmountable revenue gaps.

With Ballad Health having more than 90 inpatients testing positive for COVID, & more than 140 of our team members out with COVID, we definitely are seeing an impact. We obviously remain deeply concerned about staffing shortages, which are made worse as employees are out w/COVID.

Risk-aversion & incrementalism are the dominant cultures of most scaled healthcare organizations. It’s no wonder that healthcare is so slow to get better, so hungry for radical change & transformation. Most healthcare organizations are “successful.” But successful at what?

Ballad Health and ETSU continue to partner for the benefit of the children in our region. johnsoncitypress.com/news/education…

Very proud that U.S. News & World Report named Ballad Health Johnson City Medical Center as a high performer in Heart Attack care, Heart Failure Care and Stroke Care!

While on the subject of high quality patient care, we are proud that Ballad Health Holston Valley Medical Center was named by U.S. News & World Report as a top 10 hospital in Tennessee, and high performing in heart attack care, heart failure care, stroke and other services as well!

Ballad Health has reduced preventable hospital admission rate by almost 50%! A $200 million reduction in the cost of health care. At the same time, U.S. News & World Report finds 8 of our hospitals are "high performing" in multiple specialties. Proud of our team! johnsoncitypress.com/news/business/…

Florida: This is a massive storm. When it passes, do not venture out into the water. It’s dangerous. Live power lines down. Improper use of generators leads to death. Don’t use a chain saw if you’ve never done so before. Please…don’t take risk that’s unnecessary.

Proud of Dr. Daniel Lewis - one of Ballad Health’s best! Named Tennessee family Physician of the Year!!!!

Im officially a Tennessee fan 😭🤣🧡

“Safety isn’t expensive, it’s priceless.” Harm should be an unacceptable, not an inevitable consequence of seeking healthcare. Excited to showcase Ballad Health’s ongoing journey towards #zeroharm and high reliability organization with Jamie Swift Becker's Hospital Review’s meeting.

Many health plans bend over backwards to get you in for your annual wellness visit for coding—-going so far as to **send a clinician into your home** at a time that is convenient for you. New cancer diagnosis and need help getting into see an oncologist? “Sorry…” #HLTH22
