We would LOVE for you to start a conversation here — share info about when to lean into/get a consult from a CCRN/CFRN? describe what your credentials are and when they matter? talk about emergency transportation medicine and how you are involved there? Your voice is so important here, and we'd love for you to share your wisdom or even better to ask a thought provoking question that gets others involved.
Kimberlie,
Thank you for your incredible support of the GNA team.
I would love for you to start a conversation in one of the spaces for us!
My impression is that you have a strong lean into discharge planning and transitions out of the hospital. Would you choose a space, and start a conversation about discharge planning? or a conversation about helping your client learn to self advocate? Either share some of your knowledge or, ideally, ask a thought provoking question that drives conversation?
We love hearing your voice in the FB group. Would love it here!
Jessica,
Thrilled to see you here! Thank you for jumping in so early.
I would LOVE you to start a thread in one of hte spaces — whether medical guidance or special care and aging.
What should an advocate know whose client has moved from CKD to needing a kidney transplant? what other critical issues around transplant medicine might other advocates not realize?
When should an advocate lean into to someone with critical care experience? Are you open to coaching others if the situation is less complex; being a consultant and working on a case together? when might it be best for esp an early-career advocate to suggest a 'warm hand off' to their client to a CCRN or similar critical care/ER/ICU experienced nurse or NP like you?
As an administrator, you have such an interesting perspective of the healthcare system that many of our advocates may not have.
Could i encourage you to start a thread in the 'medical guidance' 'general' space — sharing tidbits other advocates may not know? or ask a thought provoking question to help others think about how to work WITH the hospital resources that are available to ease their client's challenges? or start a conversation about «Unsafe Discharge»?
Could i encourage you to drop into the «insurance & billing» space and start a conversation? Maybe share some insights for folks who don't tackle such complex, large claims? Maybe provide some guidance on when is the right time to bring in a specialist like you, to collaborate on a complex patient case? Or ask an impactful question that would encourage conversation with experts such as yourself for those who are newer in this realm?
The advocacy support center often gets requests for information or help from complex behavioral health or psychiatric meds clients. We provide them a curated list of advocates from the GNA site. Having this additional information about your background will help my team know to add you to those curated lists.
Could I encourage you to drop into the medical guidance, general space, and share some wisdom about helping a patient understand their psych meds? I know it is something advocates run into every day, who don't have your level of knowledge here.
Would love for you to start a conversation in the special care & aging space. Do you have questions for advocates who have even more time in this space than you? Would you like to share a 'win' experience that might be encouraging to early career advocates who are wondering what kind of impact they can make?
We'd love to hear from you!
We built out a space JUST for supporting hCTD patients including ehlers danlos. I'd love to have you drop in that space, and either ask a question to open discussion with other hCTD — aware advocates, or share a success tory that might help advocates who are just starting out supporting these types of clients to know what's possible.
Anne, thank you so much for your incredible support of GNA, including your work with our blog!!!
Could I encourage you to start a post for us, and help others learn from your knowledge?
Lots of early career advocates dont even KNOW that coaching exists. Would you like to start a post in the 'entrepreneur hub' and just describe an interesting success you had coaching a fellow advocate? or describe what your coaching program looks like, what sorts of background do you work with (I know some coaches only coach fellow nurses; some only clinicians; others coach only in certain areas like insurance or billing)?
I suspect a lot of advocates do not know what a CLNC is, or when they might really benefit from consulting with a CLNC on a case they are handling or when they might want to locate a CLNC or similar credentialed advocate to provide their client the option of a 'warm hand-off' to an advocate better suited for their complex case.
Could I nudge you into writing a post for us in «medical guidance» «general» — about the kinds of places where your CLNC becomes important? (I'd also love to see a blog post on the topic!)
Good morning, Val! WE MADE IT! :) Thank you for your support through this whole process.
Could I encourage you to open a conversation? Share some of your experience supporting a heart transplant patient? You are welcome to share info on your book so long as there isn't a long series of just marketing posts. Better yet, tell us why you wrote it, tell us what you hope folks will gain from it.
the 'medical guidance' 'general' space is likely a good starting point for it, but feel free to go wherever feels right to you!
We would love if you would start a conversation in one of our many topic areas. Youve got such a broad range of issues going on!
Are there things in your daughters' journey either others could learn from or you have questions about? (If her rare disorder happens to be connective tissue related, we even have a space JUST for those conversations:
If it isn't, the conversations are still very welcome in the general room of the medical guidance space.
Do you have insight to share about managing a complex family dynamic while advocating for your own family? or questions for those who have already done it? the «special care & aging» and «senior care» space is ideal for those conversations.
I would love if you did me a HUGE favor. Click into the «insurance and billing» discussion rooms, and get some conversation started! Share a complex win you've had recently; share some guidance on the wildly changing insurance landscape that the average advocate who just touches a small amount of ins&bill issues may not know.
We're thrilled you are here; we'd love your help in opening up conversation.
Lynn,
Thank YOU for the amazing content you are adding into the «medical guidance — condition-specific — limb loss» room. It is so informative and so important. THANK YOU for being a founding member in this community who is taking the time to share your knowledge.
Pam and Linda, WELCOME!!! Thank you for saying hi!
Please consider going into the «special care & aging» section, under general, and share information about your podcast there.
Then please consider starting a conversation. Share some wisdom for someone early-career into supporting aging adults. Or start a meaningful conversation with others who work in this space.
Make the space yours — for all of you in this specialty. We want your voice!
Could I encourage you to start a thread in the 'special care and aging' section about just that? How do you help a solo ager maintain independence? How do you help them understand what's going on with their healthcare and be resilient? How do you help them change lifelong habits that can help them stay in their homes longer or be independent longer?
(You could put it into 'senior care' or 'general' — would fit either place.)
Could I encourage you to go to the «special care and aging» section, and start a conversation? Would you be open to starting a thread there? Here are some ideas (which you could also write as blogs instead!) I’d love to hear your take on something like:
* 'The 3 biggest mistakes families make when transitioning a loved one to managed care' or
* 'How the Florida care landscape is changing for seniors.' or
* 'Beyond the Brochure: 5 Clinical Red Flags to Look for When Touring a Memory Care Unit.' Families often look at the decor; we need your help knowing what to look for in the care."
* Or, ask a difficult question that you and other experienced gerontology specialists wrestle with every day.
* Or 'Strategies for Communicating Complex Healthcare Decisions to Patients with Diminishing Capacity'?
Morgan — I cross posted to the private FB group, per our chat. Hoping it'll encourage some folks to come this way and respond for you. In case you don't see them, I'll copy any responses here.
Thank you so much for being here!
