the us maternal healthcare is in crisis ⤵️

Maternal health advocates hope that the extensions will play small yet crucial roles in tackling the nation’s maternal mortality crisis. About 1 in 3 pregnancy-related deaths occurs about a week to one year after delivery, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“It’s really important for people to have coverage before, during and after pregnancy, outside of pregnancy, and we know that having coverage enhances your access to care,” said Usha Ranji, associate director for women’s health policy at KFF, whose team has been tracking how many states have extended Medicaid postpartum coverage.

patient burnout is a real thing 🩺👩🏻‍⚕️

Going to the doctor may never be a fun experience, but surely it can be better than it is right now. In 2019, even before the COVID-19 pandemic rocked the foundations of health care, an Ipsos survey found that 43% of Americans were unsatisfied with their medical system, far more than the 22% of people in the U.K. and 26% of people in Canada who were unsatisfied with theirs. By 2022, three years into the pandemic, just 12% of U.S. adults said health care was handled “extremely” or “very” well in the U.S., according to a poll from the Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Americans pay a premium for the care they rate so poorly. The U.S. spends more per capita on health care than any other developed country in the world but has subpar health outcomes. Average life expectancy is lower in the U.S. than in other wealthy nations, and about 60% of U.S. adults have a chronic disease. About 10% of the population doesn’t have health insurance.

This is how AFAS helps 🏥🌐

This application automates the transmission of hospital care notifications to authorized family members.
This enhancement of communication between health care providers and family members reduces the time providers spend trying to connect with a patient's primary contact to make important medical decisions.
Our number one objective is to streamline communication between health care providers and authorized family members.

Over 50% of Americans say the United States is not handling health care well, and almost 80% say they are concerned about accessing quality health care when they need it, according to a new poll from the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

How Americans view the US health care system
For the poll, researchers surveyed 1,505 adults between July 28 and Aug. 1 to determine their view on various aspects of the U.S. health care system.

Overall, the poll found that Americans' satisfaction with the U.S. health care system is low. More than half of respondents said the country does not handle health care well, either in general or for older adults.

In addition, over 70% of respondents said the United States is not handling the cost of prescription drugs or mental health care well. Black and Hispanic respondents were also more likely to express dissatisfaction with the U.S. health care system compared to white respondents.

With Afas, we can help change that one call at at time. Book a demo with us to learn how

our goal is to make things more efficient with patients and healthcare providers ✨

According to the Pub Med article, Complaints were more likely on resident services. The mean duration between encounter and complaint was 18 days, and it took an average of 12 days to resolve the complaint. Most patients (59%) had a complaint in the Relationship domain. Thirty-nine percent of complaints mentioned a specific clinician. When a clinician was mentioned, complaints regarding communication and humaneness predominated (68%).

With Afas, we can thrive to reduce those complaints and handle them in less than 24h, by providing your healthcare provider in direct contact with you and/or patient in need.

The American College of Physicians (ACP) states that the increase of administrative tasks has made a negative impact on patient care.

This increase has prevented patients from receiving timely care and has also diverted their time and focus, creating a link to burnouts for our physicians.

The ACP came up with an initiative called “Patients before Paperwork”

To acknowledge this initiative, AFAS has customized our services to help toward this goal, and relieve administrative duties from our providers.
