When you have suffered from a traumatic brain injury, winter may seem more dangerous than any other season. With slick ice on the ground, you may feel wary about stepping foot outside. However, it is important to get out in the fresh air and be able to enjoy your day-to-day despite your TBI. TryMunity has collected a few ways that you can avoid dangerous slip-and-falls this winter.

1. Proper Shoes

When you go out in any type of icy weather, be sure to wear proper footwear. The right grip on your shoes can help provide more traction on an icy surface and prevent slip-and-falls. If you are on your way to a holiday party where thick-tread boots aren’t going to look fashionable, place more party-appropriate shoes in a bag and change when you arrive inside. While it may feel awkward, it is much better to change your footwear than risk a nasty fall.

2. Park in Your Garage

One of the most common places people slip-and-fall is on the way to their car. Parking in your garage can help minimize your exposure to your icy sidewalks and driveways. If you don’t have a garage, try your best to walk carefully and be aware of any ice near your car.

3. Salt Your Walkway

If you have a walkway or driveway at your home, it would be wise to give it a good salting during icy storms. This will help melt any accumulated ice and keep the area safe to walk on.

4. Walk with Purpose

Most slips happen when you aren’t paying close attention to where you are stepping. Make sure when the temperature drops that you pay close attention to every step you take. This can lessen the chance you will be caught off-guard by a patch of ice.

If you have questions, or just need support, join the TryMunity community today. No one should have to deal with TBI alone. We are all in this together!

The Evolution of Medicare Telehealth Reimbursement

The ACA has put patients at the center of healthcare services. A patient-centric healthcare approach in this digital era means a revised definition of quality in the physician-patient relationship. When it comes to healthcare services, patients shell out a hefty amount from their pocket and want nothing less than the best. The services in healthcare are no longer limited to just cost as consumers now evaluate quality and experience in the same equation. Research highlights from the 2015 Healthcare Consumer Trends by National Research Corporation states that reputation in healthcare matters more to consumers when choosing a brand than any other industry, e.g. hospitality, retail, airline, etc. The new generation of quality measurements in healthcare require a different mind-set and a different 'toolbox' to handle the hurdles. It’s the need of the hour for healthcare providers and others across the healthcare value chain to adopt the patient-centric approach for surviving in the vast competitive ocean of healthcare services. Patient-centric care is an approach that develops through effective communication, empathy and a positive physician-patient relationship. The primary purpose is to improve patient care outcomes and satisfaction and to reduce patient symptoms and unnecessary costs. It’s a win-win situation for both physicians and patients. While healthcare providers are able to support their patients in becoming more compliant with treatment and management of their conditions/diseases, patients feel more satisfied with the care that they are receiving. PwC’s Health Research Institute’s annual report 2016 states that health systems should keep an eye on the consumer experience as they expand and extend. More partnerships and more caregivers could mean confusion for patients and poor customer experiences. To differentiate their practice among competitors, patient satisfaction can be used as a competitive distinguishing factor. Although patient satisfaction cannot really provide tangible benefits, but an experience that exceeds patient expectations for what a practice/hospital can provide is very important as it creates loyal patients who return for future health needs and refer their family and friends. Happy and satisfied patients are a secret marketing weapon for healthcare providers, whether they are physicians, dentists, physiotherapists or hospitals. Your patients are the new-age digital health decision-makers. In this era of Internet and social media, they now have multichannel access to information related to health. Needless to mention, they have gained new power to make their decisions; whether it’s choosing a healthcare provider or referring a physician to family and friends. By converting your satisfied patients to be your brand advocates, you can capitalize and use their voice as an effective marketing strategy to reach out to many other potential patients. To strive and thrive, in the U.S. many healthcare organizations are applying patient-centric approaches to healthcare. It’s all about what matters to patients, so it makes a lot of sense for the healthcare industry to place patients' healthcare experience at the center of their policies and procedures. The best deliverables are a combination of great communication for a positive physician-patient relationship, disciplined measurement and analysis of patient feedback and commitment to technology innovation – the formula for improving patient engagement and care.
