With Louise Campbell and Jörn Schattenberg both on Easter Week vacations, Fatty Liver Alliance Founder Mike Betel joins Roger Green to continue a brief conversation they began in a post from the Fatty Liver Alliance last weekend. This conversation focuses largely on how patient incentives to participate in MASH clinical trials might need to change now that Rezdiffra is approved. 00:00:00 - IntroductionRoger explains why Louise and Jörn are not available for this conversation and welcomes Mike to a dialogue on issues they are considering in the aftermath of Liver Forum 16.00:01:22 - The importance of convergence Mike elaborates slightly on a comment he made in a Friday FattyLiver/SurfingMASH post on LinkedIn about the importance of thoughtful convergence between all the stakeholder groups to identify and resolve issues and why he considers the Liver Forum a great place to do this. Roger shares his understanding of the unifying challenge underlying the Forum's remit and the issue it chooses to address.00:03:15 - Including patients in clinical trial design Roger asks Mike what role he believes patient advocates should play in clinical trial design and bringing regulatory issues forward. Mike elaborates on the importance of including patients in clinical trial design. 00:04:47 - Three issues to consider around placebo, biopsy and clinical trialsRoger lists three issues he considers critical to consider in the aftermath of having an approved drug for advanced MASH patients: (i) requiring biopsies for trial when they are not required for treatment; (ii) willingness of patients to participate in trials when the Control group option remains placebo despite an approved drug; and (iii) maintaining trial patients on placebo to the end of Phase 4.00:05:20 - Keeping placebo patients in clinical trials To Mike, a key challenge for BioPharma companies will be what to offer placebo patients when they finish a clinical trial or the trial transitions to Phase 4. Roger suggests the challenge will become easier in future trials once a Standard of Care replaces placebo in the control group. The conversation meanders through the various issues related to placebo in terms of trial assignment and continuation in Phase 4.00:09:19 - The benefit of having the Liver ForumTo Mike, the Liver Forum brings tremendous benefit in terms of providing a forum for all stakeholders to consider these issues together. Roger points to a different benefit: the ability of companies to pool resources in situations where the cost might be too much for one company to assume. He cites the example of the Placebo Arm Database Project (discussed in Season 3 Episode 57). 00:10:52—Is the performance of a placebo group in clinical trials the same as that of untreated patients worldwide?  Mike asks whether study results for patients in the placebo control arm of a clinical trial are similar to results we would find in the practice of medicine outside the trial setting. Roger remembers an early lipids trial in which the effect of counseling overwhelmed  drug impact. They discuss how complicated (if not impossible) it would be to design a trial that accurately compares the effect of a "standard treatment" group to the trial control and active groups.00:13:28 - Can we ensure that patients in general practice get the same level of support as patients in a clinical trial?Mike suggests that a multi-stakeholder event like the Forum should address ways to ensure that patients in everyday practice get the same support as patients in clinical trials. Roger suggests this goal may be unachievable given the limited amount of time primary care physicians can devote to a typical patient visit. 00:15:32 - Signoff After a brief signoff, the conversation ends.

Last Thursday, March 14, Rezdiffra (resmetirom) became the first drug approved in the US for MASH. Five leading North American MASLD patient advocates join the Surfers to discuss their feelings about this approval along with the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 7Opening introduction from an excited, enthusiastic panel, including brief quotes taken directly from the episode discussion.00:05:55 - GroundbreakersEach panelist shares one piece of good news from the previous week.00:11:19 - Advocates recall March 14As March 14 progressed, advocates' attitudes moved from excited anticipation to anxiety to deep happiness. 00:17:41 - Advocates describe their feelings as patientsNone of these advocates are Rezdiffra candidates themselves, but each reflected on their personal experiences with MASLD and what the future holds for patients who are or will be candidates for Rezdiffra.00:22:33 - Identifying target patientsThis conversation starts with Roger Green asking the group to describe where the number "315,000 target patients" came from. After the group replies, Jeff McIntyre and Louise Campbell explain how this is different from a "warehoused" patient population, and Wayne Eskridge discusses the exciting, progressive Madrigal patient support program.00:29:53 - The advocate's role todayJeff begins this discussion by emphasizing the role GLI has shepherded and advocates have played in informing FDA about patients' key concerns for the label. He describes how these are reflected in the approval decision and label, with biopsy being the most obvious example. The other advocates agree, with Mike Betel emphasizing how closely the leading advocates co-ordinate with GLI and each other. Louise suggests it will be a "game changer" if FDA takes a similar view to labels for other metabolic diseases. Roger points to Madrigal's discussion of medical exception as proof of their commitment.00:37:10 - The advocate's role tomorrowAdvocates agree that this approval creates new, broader opportunities for education and outreach. To Jeff, the approval will allow advocates to ask bigger questions on emerging needs. He offers treatment for cirrhosis and drug reimbursement as two such areas. 00:41:22 - Slowing the patient flowRoger asks what steps advocates can take to slow the flow of patients through the progressive stages of MASLD. Tony Villiotti notes that this is the primary goal of NASH kNOWledge, starting with childhood education. Jenn Jones states that publicity about Rezdiffra may lead patients with MetALD or ALD to explore how they can protect their own livers and seek early detection. 00:46:15 - Overwhelming the systemLouise describes herself as "slightly fed up" at individuals who  fear "overwhelming the system." Instead, she says, systems should build capacity to reflect the scale of the disease. Roger notes this may be harder to execute in the US than in countries where governments control their healthcare systems. Jeff points to the US Veterans Administration as a possible model for ways to build capacity.  00:52:21 - Emerging role of primary careLouise states that much treatment will shift to primary care over the next 5-7 years.  Roger agrees and seconds Jeff's comments about the role the VA can play.00:54:55 - Closing question Roger asks each panelist to identify a healthcare stakeholder group that needs to take a lesson from the issues discussed today. Answers vary widely. 01:02:06 - Question of the WeekThe question asks what good ideas listeners have for other stakeholder groups in the aftermath of Rezdiffra's approval.01:02:54 - Business reportThis week's news on audience metrics, future episodes and why there will be no Vault conversation again this week

In 2024, the two major areas for change in diagnosing and treating MASH  are new drug approval and changes in use of NITs. Naim Alkhouri and Ian Rowe join Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green to consider what might change with NITs and how having an approved drug might change thinking on this issue.00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 5Opening introduction, including brief quotes taken directly from the episode discussion.00:02:36 - Introduction and GroundbreakerPanelists congratulate Naim on the recent, highly successful Desert Liver Conference. In the groundbreaker, each panelist shares one piece of good news from the previous week.00:06:36 - Why Focus on NITs?Roger describes why he considers this issue worthy of an episode. Naim and Jörn both state that they have received no referrals from PCPs or endocrinology based on elevated FIB-4 tests. Ian notes that the UK has guidelines and pathways built into some protocols; these make it challenging to stage a patient as F2 vs F3 vs early compensated cirrhosis.00:13:06 - NITs and treating F2/3 MASH patients  Ian says that current tools are incapable of defining the small nitial target patient population Jeff McIntyre suggested in Season 5 Episode 2.  patients clearly enough to place them in a narrow diagnostic or therapeutic window. Jörn takes a "pragmatic" approach to defining the patient he is certain to treat; test results are a small part of his calculus. Naim shifts the target patient to focus on VCTE cutoff points for cirrhosis. There is no clear cutoff. 00:18:45 - Tests worth using beyond the widely discussed options Asking "What can we do besides scan" or use conventional tests, Naim discusses some the new blood-based tests. Jörn describes factors that can render a test inappropriate for a particular patient. Louise suggests the right test will depend on the specific question the provider is trying to answer. 00:22:59 - Improving on FIB-4Roger notes that recent papers discuss failure to predict accurately with FIB-4. In the conversation that follows, panelists agree that automating test results and using a series of tests instead of a single event will both have real value. 00:28:27 - New Devices and Blood-Based Tests for Use in OfficeRoger asks about new tests on the horizon and specifically whether there is sufficient improvement in diagnosis or treatment. Naim notes that the most exciting tests are a couple of years away. Ian returns to Jörn's earlier point about the value of sequential testing vs an individual test. Louise suggests that device size will be pivotal for primary care. 00:35:30 - Impact of Resmetirom PriceNaim expresses concern over the $39-52K price he has heard for resmetirom. Roger states that price reflects size of target market. At that point, the discussion veers toward factors that drive drug prices higher.00:40:22 - Impact of GLP-1s on treatment and resmetiromRoger asks the group what the impact of consumer-driven GLP-1 use is likely to be on US prescribing of MASH drugs. Ian discusses use of GLP-1s in the UK and suggests that if the price for resmetirom is high enough, GLP-1s will receive significant use. Recent exciting results from BI and Akero suggest to Naim and others that the future for drugs is bright. 00:47:16 - Final questionThis entails Roger summarizing what he has heard in the conversation and testing for confirmation or correction. It goes fast and covers significant ground. 00:53:26 - Question(s). of the Week The question is what else will change, besides prescribing, once a drug is improved and what the industry can to do optimize change.00:54:06 - Business ReportNews on audience metrics, the upcoming Question of the Week, future episodes and this week's Vault co

This conversation starts with a focus on slowing the growth of the MASLD pandemic, and then veers slightly into a discussion of the specific issues post-menopausal women face with MASLD. Roger Green starts by commenting how it seems both pivotally important and highly efficient to find a way to flatten the growth curve, and he asks Zobair what he considers key to doing so.  Zobair replies that the key is to focus on multidisciplinary care centered around primary care, which will require extensive physician education. He also comments that countries may differ widely in what their current MASLD priorities should be. He introduces the idea of the sociodemographic index and the difference between high and low SDI countries. To Zobair, it is critical to elevate the issue of how to support low SDI vs. high SDI countries, which involves, in different ways, every stakeholder from WHO down to patients and their advocates.  Louise Campbell shifts focus to point out that the article raises a point about the increased risk of MASLD to postmenopausal women. This brings up a range of comments, the most important of which revolve around the need to educate OB/GYN physicians and their allied providers on the important liver risk to post-menopausal women.

As the episode comes to an end, the group winds up focusing on the need for better, more frequent MASH education as a pivotal need if we are to flatten the growth curve of the MASLD pandemic. In the process, the discussion returns to the risk for women and the important role they can play. Louise Campbell starts this conversation by harkening back to the issue of post-menopausal women. As she notes, women provide most of the hands-on care in health system, and also do most of the cooking and food shopping for the home. To Louise, targeting women also targets children, so educating women will have multiple derivative benefits.Zobair Youonossi agrees completely, particularly for the low SDI countries. I suggest that slowing prevalence and disease has two elements: fewer patients at the starting line (or with early MASLD) and better therapies and programs for patients who already live with the disease. I also ask whether the consumer uptake of GLP-1s might have an impact in the US.Zobair states that educating children is the key long-term driver and that the effect of consumer medical behaviors like taking GLP-1s is likely to be minimal. He also believes that MASLD requires more attention from global and national governmental and non-governmental players…NOW!This episode does not have a formal closing question, but the rest of this conversation offers a wrap-up of each panelist's perspective.

Pain Concern would like to remind listeners that the topic of chronic pain can be uncomfortable for those with lived experience of chronic pain. Please read the description for information about this edition's content.  In a 2020 US study, it was found that ‘Implicit bias remains a contributor to healthcare disparities.' This can be based on gender, ethnicity, disability or locality, and has the potential to affect somebody no matter their background.    In Airing Pain 142, we begin with specific references to disparities in Musculoskeletal (MSK) treatment, and how we can learn from other healthcare fields to increase patient satisfaction; we then focus on how both internal and external stigma can lead to discrimination in treatment; before ending with a discussion about why ethnic minorities are being inadvertently discriminated against in the pain management setting.   If you enjoyed this episode of Airing Pain, why not subscribe?  You can also leave us a review via our Airing Pain survey Read Transcript Contributors:  Professor Jonathan Hill is the Director of Research for the School of Allied Health Professionals, and a Professor of Physiotherapy, in the Keele School of Medicine.  Dr Ama Kissi is a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Ghent and a Clinical Psychologist.   Dr Whitney Scott is a clinical psychologist who lectures at Kings College London and is the research lead at the INPUT Pain Management Unit at Guy's & St Thomas' Hospital.   Time Stamps:  1:30: Professor Jonathan Hill speaks about the disparities in musculoskeletal pain treatment in primary care.  6:04: Sharing their experiences and research, Paul and Jonathan discuss the differences between Pain Management and Diabetes care.   9:59: Jonathan Hill highlights the importance of differentiating between people accessing pain management care frequently and infrequently.    15:26: Jonathan Hill alludes to the ‘Restore' trial in Australia, and the success of integrating physiotherapists into the pain management care system.   18:44: Dr Whitney Scott talks about the stigma and discrimination of people living with pain.  24:44: Whitney Scott discusses the way that health care professionals can work with people in pain who feel stigmatised.   26:01: Paul and Dr Ama Kissi discuss the disparities in pain management for different ethnicities and hypothesise why this might be the case.   31:17: Ama Kissi shares her own experiences as a black woman in the healthcare environment - this segment discussed childbirth.

After a month off in January, SurfingMASH returns for the 2024 calendar year. In this conversation, the group examines the explosion of telemarketer-driven consumer advertising for GLP-1 agents as anti-obesity medicines and asks what impact this might have on diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of MASH in the US. Specifically, the participants discuss the potential impact and concerns surrounding the use of weight-loss drugs, including semaglutide, and the impending approval of drugs for treating fatty liver disease. They highlight the challenge of ensuring patients receive comprehensive care that includes liver health assessments, especially with the rise of telemedicine and commercial approaches to medication distribution. The dialogue underscores the necessity of educating healthcare providers beyond physicians, such as Allied Health professionals, to have informed discussions about these medications and their management.The discussion also delves into the issues of drug pricing, the black market for medications, and the importance of proper education for all healthcare providers to prevent misuse and ensure the right patient populations are being treated. Jörn Schattenberg notes the significance of preparing for drugs that are weight neutral, addressing the obesity epidemic without exacerbating liver disease issues. He emphasizes the need for specialists to assess treatment responses and manage patient care effectively.Roger Green expresses concerns about the commercialization of healthcare leading to suboptimal patient education and care, particularly in the context of obesity treatment. He plans to engage with payers to discuss the implications of new treatments on healthcare systems.Louise Campbell raises questions about drug-drug interactions and the broader implications of new treatments being prescribed outside their intended patient populations. Jörn reassures that no major issues were identified in clinical trials regarding drug-drug interactions and believes that standard clinical practices can manage any potential concerns.The conversation reflects a complex landscape of treating liver and obesity-related conditions, highlighting the need for comprehensive education, careful patient assessment, and a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare in the face of new and emerging treatments.

After a month off in January, SurfingMASH returns for the 2024 calendar year. In this last segment of Episode 1, the co-hosts explore the complexities surrounding advertising and accessibility of metabolic agents in the US market, with a particular focus on how these factors might influence public engagement and healthcare provider education.The tone of this segment demonstrates concern that gaps or inaccuracies in consumer information might affect patient treatment in the care pathways, as providers who may not yet be equipped to handle inquiries about newly approved liver treatments deal with issues of proper prescribing and access.Louise Campbell starts this conversation by reflecting on the challenges and frustrations caused by price and access disparities when DAAs entered the Hepatitis C market. In her UK practice, native Egyptians went back to Egypt to purchase DAAs at £1,000, which meant that the UK care team lost control of patient information.  She highlights the importance of educating not just physicians but also allied health professionals who spend more time with patients, to ensure they can have informed discussions about new medications and their management. She proposes exploring education strategies and designing clinical pathways to support the effective introduction of new treatments. She mentions upcoming recommendations for fatty liver in Australia as an example of progress in liver health management.Roger Green expresses interest in delving into diagnostics challenges, especially considering the rapid uptake of semaglutide and tirzepatide as weight loss drugs offered by telemedicine providers outside the traditional care paradigm. He worries about the potential this model has to leave treaters with inadequate or inaccurate knowledge of their patients, and advocates for a more educated approach by payers to include liver-aware diagnostics in metabolic disease management to better serve patient needs and prevent liver-related complications. Jörn Schattenberg also advocates for broader, deeper education campaigns while noting that there appear to be few if any interactions between GLP-1s and resmetirom based on clinical trial reports.This conversation underscores the interconnected challenges of drug marketing, healthcare provider education, and diagnostic practices in the evolving landscape of liver treatment and highlights the need for a multifaceted approach to address these issues effectively.

After a month off in January, SurfingMASH returns for the 2024 calendar year. In this conversation, Louise Campbell describes how VCTE can serve as a behavioral monitor, Roger Green reviews some changes in the podcast this year and the group begins to discuss why "liver awareness" should become an important concept. As this conversation starts, a joke from Roger Green about "VCTE as lie detector" leads Louise Campbell to note that personal trainers should consider looking at "internal health" (fat in organs) instead of "external health" (general obesity). She also discusses the ability to link her digital app, MyLife365.me, to VCTE measurements.Roger Green becomes the last co-host to discuss his last couple of months. He outlines a couple of upcoming changes in the SurfingMASH podcast, including a new "Question of the Week" segment.After describing the new segment, Roger shifts the conversation to focus on some practical issues surrounding the potential for increased demand on the clinical care pathway once a MASH drug is approved. Jörn Schattenberg notes that we will need dramatic increases in provider education over time for them to step into an active role in the pathway. He believes that drug approval will speed this process.Throughout the entire episode, a question re-emerges about the goal of liver education. In the past, this podcast has discussed "liver health" and "liver wellness" as if the liver is the target and goal. In this conversation (and later in the episode) the concept of "liver awareness" bubbles up. "Liver awareness" refers to appreciation of the role the liver plays in all metabolic health.5

We spoke with Gordon Piercey, the president of Newfoundland and Labrador's Association of Allied Health Professionals, about why hundreds of health care workers walked away from conciliation with government last week.

The Association of Allied Health Professionals in the province is inching nearer to a strike. The association represents physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists, social workers, audiologists and a multitude of other medical professionals - 800 of them in all in Newfoundland and Labrador. Last week they walked away from conciliation talks with government, saying the two sides are so far apart, it's pointless to go on. Gordon Piercey is president of the Association.

As part of our ongoing dialogue around clinical care pathways and the complex of metabolic diseases, SurfingNASH dedicates a session to focus on the key relationship and interplay between endocrinology and hepatology. This topic rings familiar in the Rising Tide series, our podcast for frontline education, where Ken Cusi often notes the need for endocrinologists to become comfortable diagnosing Fatty Liver disease (and prescribing pioglitazone) and for hepatologists to become more comfortable prescribing GLP-1s. To expand on these critical ideas with the SurfingNASH community, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green are joined by Cyrielle Caussy, Professor of Nutrition and Endocrinologist-Diabetologist at Lyon 1 University and Lyon South Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon (France). Cyrielle is an expert in the clinical care of metabolic disease, including type 2 diabetes, obesity and NAFLD, and she is leading a clinical and research program focused on metabolic liver disease at the Lyon Hepatology Institute.This conversation begins with Jörn concurring with Cyrielle's statement about the importance of regular interaction and communication. Roger also agrees before asking Jörn for what he considers to be key in getting liver patients picked up earlier by endocrinologists, primary care or even gastroenterologists. Jörn replies that this specific health system pathway will matter, but the role of nurse practitioners will be the key. He also emphasizes the importance of offering better information to patients. Finally, he says we need to stress that there are things physicians can do with these patients and this will become easier to discuss once drugs have been approved. Louise notes that this aligns with her focus on the role of allied health providers. She goes on to comment on the value of VCTE in identifying disease in all kinds of different patients. Jörn adds that at least once a week he is asked to consult on a patient whose unrelated surgery led to a decompensating cirrhotic event. As the session winds down, Roger asks the panelists what they would do if they had a magic wand to touch one thing in their hospital to make a change. Listen on to hear their varying and surprising answers.If you enjoy the episode, have questions or interest around endocrinology and Fatty Liver disease, we kindly ask that you submit reviews wherever you download the discourse.

We're going in-house this episode with our very own Process Documentation Officer here at Nacre Consulting – Ben Reich. As he is also studying Atmospheric Science at Monash University, it only seemed fitting to have a chat with Ben about climate change, renewable energy, and carbon-neutral strategies.   You'll hear exactly what Ben's studying and how this gives him such an insight into climate change and what we must do as human beings to go more sustainable and make a positive impact. We discuss his thoughts on how Nacre can go more carbon-neutral, challenges of tracking your own carbon footprint, carbon offsetting, having personal responsibility, and the next big steps he envisions for Nacre in the upcoming 6 months.  Topics covered on going carbon-neutral:   Climate change  Carbon offsetting  Tracking your carbon footprint  Resources Mentioned     https://www.systemology.com/     https://www.systemhub.com/     https://www.carbonneutral.com/    Related Episodes   Episode 235: How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint and Go Carbon Neutral in Your Organisation   Connect with Ben Reich    Connect with Ben Reich on LinkedIn   Connect with Nacre Consulting:   Join the Accelerator Mastermind   Complete the Allied Health Biz Quiz   Let's connect on Instagram   Follow us on Facebook   Let's connect on LinkedIn   Join our Facebook Group online community   More about The Private Practice Made Perfect Show:   The Private Practice Made Perfect podcast is a much loved conversation for those wanting to hear real life Australian Allied Health business stories, adventures and the occasional confession.   The outstanding guest list includes business owners and wonderful small business supporters such as accountants, marketers, bookkeepers, IT wizards, virtual assistants, lawyers and more.   As you know, it takes a village to run a business.

Ever come out of a therapy session or meeting, only to check your phone or computer and be faced with 20 new emails? It's one of the most stressful feelings, leaving you with the overwhelming task of sitting down and sifting through each and every one. And it doesn't stop there – without the right support systems, this email-tsunami is a never-ending battle… The good news is that there's a solution, and it's a lot more streamlined than you might think. That solution is admin support. Here to cover all-things admin is Karina Follent – Founding Director of Pro-Assist Virtual Administration. Pro-Assist helps allied health business owners with flexible admin and NDIS support to make practices run smarter and smoother. For Karina, Pro-Assist isn't just about the admin – it's about fostering meaningful flexibility for business owners. From the start, she's always had a passion for helping allied health business owners regain time, so that they can focus more on their loved ones. Karina's passion is a great reminder of the importance of spending precious time with family and friends, where the business doesn't claim your entire life.  Is it time for you to get some admin support? What are you doing in the admin-space that you could be handing off to the pros? Never be afraid to ask for help – it's an investment. In this episode, Karina runs us through the various admin tasks she does to help busy business owners, including the benefits of practice management software. You'll also hear why you should have your systems set up first before hiring new staff, how to avoid burnout, NDIS opinions, and why you should be keeping your waitlists small and compact.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you could change anything about the NDIS right now, what would it be? This week's guest on the PPMP Podcast is none other than Kerri Weaver – Owner of Eyes and Independence and Educational Disability Specialist. Kerri shares some great insights this week about being an allied health business owner – challenges and all. You'll hear Kerri open up about losing her original role due to government cuts, as well as how that experience gave her the drive and motivation to start her own business. She shares what she first learnt about business as a whole in the first few years as a business owner, which included plenty of getting used to socials and website navigation. Her experience with networking and admin are also two important pieces for every business owner, particularly those just starting out.  Kerri also discusses her experience knowing when to take a step back from the business – a friendly reminder for all business owners that taking time for yourself is part of the job.  Where a lot of you will probably also relate in this episode is Kerri's thoughts on the NDIS – there's no holding back here. She gets right into how she would change it up, including what she'd do if she was the boss of the price guide. Don't forget to listen to the end of the episode for Kerri's insights on what she wants to achieve for her business in the next 12 months – something we should all set out to do once in a while to get clear on our long-term goals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The International Liver Congress (#ILC2022) is the first major hepatology Congress to be held in person since the start of the pandemic (smaller, but very valuable, meetings like NASH-TAG, LiverCONNECT and Paris HASH have taken place with an in-person component, but the International Liver Congress and The Liver Meeting have not).The conversation takes place against the backdrop of a live Congress, which means background noise, challenges finding a meeting location and more background noise than you will find during a studio episode.Once everyone had settled in, this episode covered a range of topics, the most important of which revolved around the value of FIB-4 and the need for integrated, strategic thinking about care. The FIB-4 discussion addressed both strengths and weaknesses of the test, which is inexpensive and produces a relatively high level of false-positive tests. One key point from both Zobair and Michelle: in the US, the quality and standards organizations such as NCQA and HEDIS, should include FIB-4 screening and automatic EHR inclusion as a quality criterion with a point value in the scoring criteria. The discussion allowed the group to discuss several other important issues from the day's events. There was limited discussion of drug trials since most of the major trials will be presented on Saturday. Listen to Episodes 33 and 34 for more feedback on those presentations.At the end of the session, Michelle Long announced that she is leaving academia in July to join Novo Nordisk and get involved full-time in helping her new employer develop good drugs and shape overall treatment paradigms and pathways.This episode is sponsored by DiaPharma. DiaPharma is proud to support Surfing the NASH Tsunami in its activities to raise awareness of,  and foster discussions about,  the NASH epidemic.   DiaPharma offers noninvasive mechanistic biomarkers,  like CK18, that provide early biologically plausible indications of changes in disease activity for use in NASH drug development studies.   For research use only,  In the US and Canada,  and not for use in diagnostic procedures.
