Geçtiğimiz günlerde Amerikan Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Akademisi (The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation-AAPM&R), akut SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu sonrası sekel (PASC) olarak da bilinen uzamış COVID'li hastalarda nörolojik sekellerin değerlendirilmesi ve tedavisi hakkında yeni bir fikir birliği kılavuzu yayınladı. Bu yeni öneriler 16 Mayıs 2023'te Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation dergisinde, ABD'deki 41 uzamış COVID kliniğinde çeşitli tıbbi uzmanlık alanlarından uzmanlar arasındaki iş birliğinin sonucunda oluşturuldu.​1​ Bu yazımızda bu önerilere değineceğiz. Bu öneriler ele alınırken PASC konusunda efektif değerlendirme ve tedavinin limitli olduğu ve bu yüzden bu önerilerin henüz uzman görüşü düzeyinde olup asla klinik değerlendirmenin önüne geçmemesi gerektiği unutulmamalıdır. Fiziksel tıp uzmanları engelli ve işlevsel bozukluğu olan bireyleri tedavi ettiği için AAPM&R, uzamış COVID'in değerlendirilmesi ve tedavisi için rehberlik başlatan ilk kuruluşlar arasında yer alarak 2021'de uzun süreli COVID ile ilişkili yorgunluğu ele alan ilk fikir birliğini yayınlamıştı. Bunun ardından solunum rahatsızlığı, solunum yetmezliği, bilişsel semptomlar, kardiyovasküler komplikasyonlar, pediatrik ve otonomik disfonksiyonlarla ilgili fikir birliği beyanlarını yayınlandı. Yakında da akıl sağlığıyla ilgili ayrı bir kılavuz ve bütün kılavuzların bir arada ele alındığı bir yazı yayınlanması planlanmaktadır. Giriş COVID-19 enfeksiyonu günümüzde değişerek ve gelişerek güncel sağlık sorunu olarak yerini korumaktadır. Birçok viral hastalığın aksine, COVID-19 akut multiorgan hasarının yanında, akut SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu sonrası sekel (PASC) veya uzamış COVID sendromunun parçası olarak uzun dönem sekeller de bırakmaktadır. Hastalık kontrol ve önleme merkezi 2022'de COVID-19 hastalarının hastalık sonrası durumlarını inceleyen bir çalışma yayımladı. Bu çalışmaya göre kardiyovasküler, pulmoner, hematolojik, renal, endokrin, gastrointestinal, musküloskeletal, nörolojik ve psikiyatrik olmak üzere birçok sistemi ilgilendiren bulgu ve belirtiler değerlendirilmiştir.  COVID-19 geçiren bireylerde bu sistemleri etkileyen en az bir olay %38 civarında görülürken kontrol grubunda %16 olarak saptanmıştır.​2​ Tam olarak PASC tanımı halen gelişmekte olsa da ilk enfeksiyondan 4 hafta geçmesine rağmen semptomların devam etmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. COVID vakalarının ve hastaneye yatışların sayısı eskisi kadar fazla olmasa da PASC, önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olmaya devam etmektedir. Tam olarak neden kaynaklandığı bilinmese de çeşitli teoriler mevcuttur. Bazı raporlara göre SARS-CoV-2'nin direkt olarak sinir sisteminin invazyonundan kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir. Düşünülen diğer mekanizmalar ise, kalıcı inflamasyonlar, otoimmünitede artış, nörotransmitter dengesizliği, önceki nörolojik ve nöropsikyatrik durumlarda alevlenmeler ve mide-beyin aksındaki dengesizliklerdir. Bu mekanizmaların farklı hasta gruplarında farklı kombinasyonlarla yer aldığı düşünülmektedir. Bazı çalışmalar da antiviral tedavi gören hastalarda insidansta azalma olduğu gösterilmiştir. Fakat bu tedavilerin her hastada uygulanmadığı da unutulmamalıdır.   Akut COVID-19 enfeksiyonu nedeniyle hastaneye yatırılan hastalara bakıldığında da yaklaşık olarak %80 hastada nörolojik semptom olduğu gözlenmiştir. En sık görülen semptomlar ise “brain fog” olarak adlandırılan beyin sislenmesi (%81), baş ağrısı (%68), halsizlik (%60) tat alma bozukluğu (%59), koku alma bozukluğu (%55) ve miyaljidir (%55).​3​ Bu semptomların sadece ağır hastalarda değil, hafif kliniğe sahip olan hastalarda da görülmesi dikkat çeken bir başka durumdur. Ayrıca çalışmalar göstermiştir ki COVID-19 enfeksiyonu sonrasındaki 2 yılda bile bilişsel bozukluk, demans, psikotik bozukluk, epilepsi veya nöbet riski hala yüksek devam etmektedir. Duygudurum ve kaygı bozuklukları gibi diğer hastalıkların riskleri ise 2 yıllık takipte genel olarak artış göstermemektedir.

The recent dust-up over Direct Contracting and its ultimate rebranding as the ACO REACH model may have led some to believe that our path forward is unclear. That couldn't be further from the truth. On this episode, we talk with François de Brantes, Senior Vice President of Episodes of Care at Signify Health, about where we are on the pathway to escaping the tyranny of Fee-For-Service healthcare. It's tyranny because it prevents us from delivering care the way we want to and need to. Advanced Alternative Payment Models like ACO Reach allow organizations to separate payment from delivery, stop focusing their efforts on top-line revenue, and begin to operate like typical P & L driven companies. The promise, of course, is that this will change the way healthcare is delivered in the U.S., improve outcomes and lower costs. We discuss: - Has utilization and payment returned to pre-pandemic norms? - Why are commercial carriers lagging behind Medicare and Medicaid in launching Advanced Alternative Payment Models? - Will the shift to value and consumer-centric delivery methods like telemedicine diminish uncompensated care? - Is it possible to be proactive and patient-centric in Fee-for-service? - Are provider systems ready for AAPMs? - Can employers band together to create enough demand for AAPMs in the under-65 commercial market? - What were the arguments against the Direct Contracting Model? - Did they have merit? - What changes were made to Direct Contracting as part of the rebrand to ACO Reach? - How does this dust-up over Direct Contracting confirm we are on a bi-partisan, unwavering march toward value and never going back? - Why did Signify Health acquire Caravan Health?   For full show notes and links: https://thehcbiz.com/189-escaping-the-tyranny-of-fee-for-service-healthcare-francois-de-brantes/

Dr. Scott Speelziek interviews Dr. Pushpa Narayanaswami and Dr. Lyell K Jones about the article, The Value Transformation of Heath Care: Impact on Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine. Beginning in 2017, most physicians who participate in Medicare are subject to the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), the milestone legislation that signals the US health care system's transition from volume-based to value-based care. Here we review emerging trends in development of value-based healthcare systems in the US. MACRA and the resulting Quality Payment Program create 2 participation pathways, the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and the Advanced Alternative Payment Model (AAPM) pathway. Although there are several program incentives for AAPM participation, to date there have been few AAPM options for specialists. MIPS and its widening bonus and penalty window will likely be the primary participation pathway in the early years of the program. Value-based payment has the potential to reshape health care delivery in the United States, with implications for neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic (EDX) specialists. Meaningful quality measures are required for neuromuscular and EDX specialists. Muscle Nerve 56: 679-683, 2017.

On this week’s episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart podcast, Dr. Beth Darnall joins us to talk about the opioid epidemic and alternative treatments for patients experiencing chronic pain. Dr. Darnall is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Division of Pain Medicine at Stanford University and treats individuals and groups at the Stanford Pain Management Center. She is an NIH-funded principal investigator for pain psychology research that is examining the mechanisms of pain catastrophizing treatment, including a novel single-session pain catastrophizing class she developed (funded by the NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health). She is dedicated to empowering life beyond pain. In this episode, we discuss: -The opioid epidemic and cost effective treatment solutions that you can incorporate into your care -Tapering off opioid use, associated effects, and protocol -How opioid use and chronic pain effect brain chemistry -Pain catastrophizing defined and what patients can do if they have chronic pain -And so much more! Treatment for chronic pain with opioids alone is not sustainable and alternative treatment approaches are needed to retrain the brain. The research has shown that, “When we take opioids, it really changes brain chemistry. It actually changes the structure of the brain but so does chronic pain itself…[With alternative treatment,] you're rewiring and recovering and exercise and enjoyment and going out and getting back to doing the things you love, these are going to help facilitate your brain as it is rewiring, as you’re managing pain differently, as you’re becoming more and more active and functional.”   Evidence based healthcare providers must monitor patients who begin opioid treatment for chronic pain and how their condition evolves. “We want to ask ourselves a critical question—are people getting better? And this is where we've really fallen short, opioids will be prescribed and nobody is tracking long term to see if they are getting better or if there are new risk factors or addictive behaviors. It’s a constant process of monitoring… We need to do better at stopping what isn't working. If people aren't getting better, if their pain is only worsening, let's not add more of what isn't working. Let’s stop it and emphasize the alternatives.”   Dr. Darnall supports the biopsychosocial model for treating chronic pain because it effectively and comprehensively targets the nervous system. She states, “The nervous system leads us into this area where we’re really talking about the modulation of pain, the facilitation of pain and the exacerbation of pain… No matter where you feel pain in your body, no matter how it got started or why, the processing of it will occur in the brain and spinal cord. That's what we can target with some of these treatments and therapies, we’re able to dampen the experience of pain… The nervous system is a critically important part in helping decrease not only pain and intensity but more importantly how much a person suffers from pain. “   Dr. Darnall advocates a pain management approach that allows the patient to take more control in achieving a desirable outcome. She stresses, “The most important person on the healthcare team isn't the doctor or the psychologist or the physical therapist—it’s the patient. If you have chronic pain, you are the most important person on your healthcare team. My hope and my wish is that every person on your healthcare team will have a similar philosophy that is focused on empowering you to acquire the right information and the right skills so you can best self manage your pain and your symptoms so that you’re able to become more functional, to enjoy more of the life you have even with the health conditions you have so you’re able to live your best life possible.” For more about Dr. Darnall: Beth is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Division of Pain Medicine at Stanford University and treats individuals and groups at the Stanford Pain Management Center. She is an NIH-funded principal investigator for pain psychology research that is examining the mechanisms of pain catastrophizing treatment, including a novel single-session pain catastrophizing class she developed (funded by the NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health).   She is Co-Chair of the Pain Psychology Task Force at the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM), and in 2015 received a Presidential Commendation from AAPM.   Beth is author of Less Pain, Fewer Pills ©2014 and The Opioid-Free Pain Relief Kit ©2016. Her upcoming book, The Surprising Psychology of Pain: Evidence-Based Relief from Catastrophizing and Pain is due out in 2017. As a pain psychologist, she has 15 years experience treating adults with chronic pain, and she lived through her own chronic pain experience. She enjoys helping individuals with chronic pain gain control over mind and body and live their best life possible.   Beth is a licensed clinical psychologist (CA License #25495).   Beth received her doctoral training at the University of Colorado at Boulder and her clinical residency at the Southern Arizona Veterans Affairs Health Care System (Tucson VA Hospital). She received post-doctoral training at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Department of Rehabilitation Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health (T32 Fellowship). Clinically, she provided psychological services to patients with catastrophic burn, spinal cord injury or amputation. She was an Associate Professor at Oregon Health and Science University (2005-2012) prior to joining the faculty at Stanford University in late 2012. Her desire to specialize in the management of chronic pain was inspired by her clinical experiences and by her own personal experience with chronic pain.   Make sure to grab copies of Dr. Darnall’s books The Opioid-Free Pain Relief Kit: 10 Simple Steps to Ease Your Pain and Less Pain, Fewer Pills: Avoid the Dangers of Prescription Opioids and Gain Control over Chronic Pain and follow her on twitter!   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!
