Redefining the Patient and Resident Experience

The patient experience doesn’t end at the hospital door. What happens next often defines the long-term outcome for the patient, especially for seniors—and the hospital’s financial outcome as well. Acute care hospitals and senior living providers are grappling with new realities: our elders are living longer and want to live healthier, while the government is challenging providers to do more with less.

Making Supply Chain Sustainability in the Chemical Industry More Efficient

Companies participating in the UN Global Compact often point to their supply chains as one of the most challenging areas to improve their sustainability performance. This makes sense. For multinational corporations operating in multiple industries, supply chains aren’t chains at all. They’re webs --- vast, complex, and frequently shifting networks upon which the company relies to power its business. Despite the challenges, the supply chain cannot be ignored in any mature, well-integrated corporate sustainability strategy. In fact, the purchasing power of a company can significantly amplify any environmental and social change it might drive in its own operations. The trick for a successful sustainability supply chain strategy is efficiency, prioritization, and balance.

Rare Diseases Are Not That Rare

People affected by rare diseases often face extraordinary barriers. They can find it difficult to get the right diagnosis, expert advice or treatment and support. It’s challenging – especially when they are trying to cope with the uncertainty of an often progressive, devastating and debilitating disease. But the complexity of these conditions, and the small number of patients affected, means this area of research doesn’t always attract the greatest interest.
