Dr. Scott Harrington's interest in medicine and healthy living began early in life, deeply influenced by his mother's struggles with weight. Watching her navigate these challenges, he developed a fascination with diet books and a desire to help others achieve better health. However, it wasn't until 2012, after watching the documentary "Forks Over Knives," that his perspective shifted significantly. The film, which highlights the benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet, inspired him to embrace veganism and adopt a more holistic approach to health.   Military Experience and Plant-Based Transformation   As an active-duty Army physician, Dr. Harrington faced personal health challenges, including maintaining his own weight. Despite efforts to manage his weight through portion control and intense exercise, he often felt hungry and deprived. A turning point came when a Special Forces soldier introduced him to the plant-based diet, emphasizing its performance benefits. This encounter, coupled with the influence of "Forks Over Knives," led Dr. Harrington to adopt a plant-based diet, transforming his approach to health and wellness.   Integrating Military Insights into Healthcare   Dr. Harrington's military service, including deployments in Afghanistan, profoundly shaped his understanding of trauma and recovery. He emphasized the importance of normalizing responses to traumatic experiences, such as PTSD, and helping patients view their reactions as typical under extreme conditions. This empathetic approach has been crucial in his practice, allowing him to build trust and provide effective care for veterans and others dealing with significant stress and trauma.   Transitioning from Military Service   After years of long deployments and rigorous schedules, Dr. Harrington sought a change from his demanding life in active duty. Desiring more time with his family and a less strenuous routine, he decided to transition to a career that allowed him to work from home. This shift led him to a telemedicine provider called American Well, similar to Teladoc or Doctors On Demand, where he served as a staff doctor.   The Telemedicine Experience   During his two years at American Well, Dr. Harrington was licensed in multiple states, allowing him to reach a wide range of patients. While the job provided the convenience of working from home, it lacked continuity of care. The nature of telemedicine meant he often saw new patients with minor ailments, leaving him unfulfilled professionally. He found himself yearning for deeper, more meaningful patient interactions and the opportunity to discuss lifestyle medicine more comprehensively.

January 8, 2021: How has your healthcare system adapted this year? Jeff Sturman, CIO for Memorial Healthcare talks vaccine distribution, one-click telehealth visits, care at home, call centers and social media. Is the silver bullet the vaccine? We have to hope that's the case. How are you going with your planning, testing, piloting and protocols? What are you looking at in terms of a frictionless workflow for one-click telehealth visits? Is Epic playing a major part? What about FaceTime, Doximity or American Well? During a pandemic you have to make whatever IT you have available work for you and your patients. Going forward, how do you clean it up and bring everybody into a standard workflow and standard procedures? What are some of the ways you're utilizing new channels to connect with patients and your community? And is there a change in how we're thinking about new acute care facilities or clinics?

It took me a long time to finally book this guest. And it was worth the wait. Dr Roy Schoenberg is Co-Founder and CEO of Amwell, the transformative telemedicine company that IPO’d last month. After serving in the Israel Defense Forces & earning his MD, Roy co-founded the company (originally American Well) with his brother in 2006. It’s become one of the largest most important telemedicine & telehealth companies in the world Amwell connects on-demand telehealth visits between patients in need & available providers. Once just a scrappy startup, the Amwell ecosystem has attracted 200 of the nation’s largest payers, health systems, employers, retailers and reaches 80 million Americans as a covered benefit. Prior to Amwell, Roy was Founder of CareKey & CISO of TriZetto, following its acquisition of CareKey. Roy is the recipient of the American Telemedicine Association Industry award for leadership in the field of telemedicine. This year has been transformative for Amwell. Usage is up 3,000% since the pandemic began. It’s convenient, intimate, and avoids costly ER visits. On its journey, Amwell raised $800M from Allianz X, Takeda, Inventure Partners, and Google Cloud. Then, the Coronavirus set the business on fire. And on Sep 17, 2020, the company went public. In this 20-minute conversation, Roy reveals how he overcame the odds & skepticism. And how he’s scaled the team to 1,000 full-time employees + 10,000 clinicians.

RONALDINHO QUEDA EN LIBERTAD. Su hermano es condenado a dos años, pero no irá a prisión. El juez Gustavo Amarilla hizo lugar a la suspensión condicional de la condena para Ronaldinho Gaúcho y condenó a su hermano Roberto de Assis Moreira a dos años de cárcel, pero no pisará la prisión. A cambio deberá donar la suma de 110 mil dólares y otras reglas de conducta.  Ronaldinho quien queda libre incluso sin comparecencia obligatoria. Deberá donar 90.000 USS, de los cuales 60.000 USD irán para el Hospital de Clínicas y 30.000 USD para "Todos somos Bianca". Los hermanos de Assis Moreira, que ingresaron al país el 4 de marzo, estuvieron un mes privados de su libertad en la Agrupación Especializada de la Policía Nacional y cuatro meses de arresto domiciliario en un hotel de Asunción. Los agentes fiscales Alicia Sapriza Gómez, Federico Delfino, Marcelo Pecci y Osmar Legal no han detectado que el exjugador de fútbol haya tenido participación directa en la obtención de los documentos con contenido falso. Sin embargo, su hermano, por otra parte, sí tenía conocimiento mucho tiempo antes, según la investigación. ABC  SOSPECHA DE ENVENENAMIENTO. El opositor ruso Alexei Navalny se recupera en Alemania tras un intento de envenenamiento que lo dejó en coma.

Durante una conferencia de prensa reciente, la agencia advirtió que, pese a que se ha aprobado el uso del plasma sanguíneo, ésta todavía constituye una terapia experimental que aún no se ha estandarizado. CNN NUEVO ESCÁNDALO POLICIAL EN EE.UU. El gobernador del estado Wisconsin, Tony Evers, anunció que 125 integrantes de la Guardia Nacional serán desplegados este lunes en las calles de la ciudad de Kenosha, en medio de protestas y disturbios, que se desencadenaron luego de que el pasado domingo un policía disparara 7 veces contra un afroamericano supuestamente desarmado. Indicó que su tarea será "proteger la infraestructura y asegurarse de que nuestros bomberos y otros (profesionales) involucrados estén protegidos". La víctima, identificada como Jacob Blake, de 29 años, fue hospitalizada en estado grave. Las imágenes de los hechos, que rápidamente se volvieron virales, muestran al ciudadano caminando hacia una camioneta seguido por dos oficiales, cuando uno de ellos abrió fuego contra  la víctima quien se disponía a abrir la puerta del vehículo. Se realizaron al menos siete disparos. Según el abogado Ben Crump, que representa a la familia de Blake, el hombre se encuentra estable. EFE UN VIOLADOR EN TU CAMINO. Un grupo de expertos en derechos humanos de la ONU pidió este lunes a Chile a retirar los cargos presentados por la policía contra el colectivo feminista Las Tesis, creadoras de la canción "Un violador en tu camino", interpretada por primera vez el pasado mes de noviembre en el Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Violencia contra la Mujer.

La empresa ha presentado una solicitud para cotizar en bolsa y la inversión de Google será una colocación privada simultánea al precio de la OPI. Aashima Gupta de Google Cloud, directora de soluciones de atención médica global de la compañía, dijo que espera ver el uso continuo de telemedicina debido a "una cobertura de reembolso más favorable y a los consumidores que consideran esto como una opción viable".  Con más personas que nunca evitando buscar ayuda médica en persona en hospitales y clínicas, el uso de herramientas para visitas virtuales se ha disparado en los últimos meses. Las dos empresas también cooperarán en tecnología y desarrollarán un esfuerzo de ventas dedicado para expandir la presencia de Amwell en el sector. CNBC ALIANZA ESTRATÉGICA ENTRE RIOT Y SPOTIFY.

As the coronavirus pandemic worsened, telehealth went from being a supplemental offering to an essential tool virtually overnight. While progress in digital healthcare has been building for several years, in many ways we were not prepared for such a sudden and dramatic shift. Research into the efficacy of teletherapy is sparse, the tools at our disposal are not always reliable or intuitive, and licensure regulations changed overnight to allow providers to practice across state lines. For this Alma In Conversation, Vice President of Medical Affairs at American Well, Sylvia Romm, and health care lawyer at Foley and Lardner LLP, Emily Wein, joined Alma founder and CEO, Harry Ritter, to discuss structural readiness for telehealth in the mental health care space and the ever-evolving regulatory landscape. Alma In Conversation brings together experts in their field for an open discussion about themes and topics relevant to mental health care providers and their clients. Alma is a network of therapists, coaches, and wellness professionals dedicated to simplifying access to high-quality, affordable mental health care and a destination for people seeking care.

For the last decade, telemedicine has been dominated by urgent care—and it’s delivered a great deal of value for patients in need of quick access to a doctor for something like the stomach flu. But for the technology to reach its full potential, the experience needs to expand beyond ‘blind date’ telehealth. What if we used telecare to enable established clinician-patient relationships? How might follow-up care improve if medical professionals could, for example, check in on cancer patients every day?Roy Schoenberg is the President and CEO of American Well, the United States’ leading telehealth platform. Since its rollout in 2008, the American Well ecosystem has onboarded more than 200 of the nation’s largest payers, health systems, employers and retailers. Roy is a thought leader in the realm of healthcare technology and IT policy, and he was the 2014 recipient of the American Telemedicine Association Industry award for leadership in the field of telehealth.On this episode of HLTH Matters, Roy joins Dr. Kuku to discuss how seeing a relative wait too long to seek care informs his work in telehealth. He shares his vision of the future of telemedicine, explaining how its applications will evolve from facilitating urgent care to enabling existing, trusted relationships between clinicians and patients. Listen in for Roy’s insight around the art of making good decisions in healthcare and learn how technology might reinvent the way we follow up with patients in need of ongoing care.Topics CoveredHow seeing a relative wait too long to seek care informs Roy’s workWhy we delay or interact with the health system as little as we canRoy’s insight on telehealth as the consumer revolution of healthcareRoy’s vision of leveraging telehealth to enable existing relationshipsHolding physicians accountable for the level of quality in telehealthHow tech is likely to reinvent the way we follow up with patientsUsing tech to raise the level of quality for every person in the USMaking tech disappear so the healthcare experience is more humanThe challenge of innovating in a skeptical industry that says NO firstRoy’s take around why making good decision in healthcare is an artConnect with Roy SchoenbergAmerican WellRoy on LinkedIn Connect with HLTH & Dr. KukuHLTH ConferenceDr. Kuku on LinkedInDr. Kuku on Twitter ResourcesKRYBabylon HealthFSMB Model Policy for the Appropriate Use of Telemedicine Technologies

At the end of the day, health care should be about helping patients find their way to health while doctors, nurses, and other clinicians don’t burn out in the process. It’s becoming increasingly indisputable that the way to get to this North Star efficiently is through human-centered health care. Human-centered health care is a term coined by Dr. Sylvia Romm, and it’s a play on the term customer-centered design. How do we innovate? How do we use technology to intensify the human experience for both provider and patient? How do we rid ourselves of friction points and create a continuum of care that is sticky and makes getting healthy as enjoyable as Instagram? In this health care podcast, I speak with Sylvia Romm. She’s an MD and an MPH with a background as a researcher and a telemedicine entrepreneur prior to coming to Atlantic Health System as their chief innovation officer. We talk in this podcast about human-centered health care—what this means, what the success factors are, and how to make it happen. We also take into account the assorted challenges to overcome on the way there. This interview was recorded moments before COVID-19, and I say that as a good thing. Dr. Romm brings up telehealth as, let’s just say, a first step toward actuating human-centered design in health care. Clearly in the past, that was quite a hurdle. No longer. So, those health systems or you other stakeholders in the mix who have gotten the telehealth thing nailed, listen on for ways that you can leverage your success. And for those of you who haven’t, well, here’s a little extra motivation. You can learn more by connecting with Dr. Romm on Twitter at @sylvia_romm.  Sylvia Romm, MD, MPH, is driven by a passion for transforming health care delivery to patients and communities.

MHA, BCOP, CPP is the Assistant Director of Pharmacy at UNC Chapel Hill.  They discuss the need that COVID-19 has created to rethink traditional patient care, address various implementation strategies for telehealth, and offer a look at the potential future of telehealth.   In this episode you will learn: What did telehealth look like before COVID-19? ● Telemedicine has always been part of a traditional practice, but concerns about patient relationships and access to technology limited full adaptation of telehealth. ● Prior to COVID-19, UNC only conducted 25 telehealth visits per month. ● Telehealth visits were limited by a narrow set of eligibility requirements.   Implementation strategies for telehealth ● The adaptation of telehealth is now essential in order to deliver care as safely as possible. ● Telehealth care at UWA is currently limited to those who have been credentialed, and they are working to expand telehealth credentials to all oncologists. ● At UNC, AmWell has helped meet the increasing need to expand telehealth services. ● Telemedicine platforms have improved exponentially because physicians, pharmacists, and hospital administrators are now all on board.   Rethinking traditional patient care ● Telehealth tends to improve care as patients feel more comfortable asking questions in a personal environment. ● More dedicated patient education sessions allow for increased preparation for treatment. ● Telemedicine offers increased convenience for patients but also requires improved coordination of care and lab testing. ● Staffing models have remained largely unchanged through the transition to telehealth. ● COVID-19 has forced us to break down the barriers that have limited the use of telehealth in the past.   Platforms that support telehealth ● Health and human services technology rules have changed to allow doctors to use any platform including Skype for Business, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, or Zoom. ● Zoom offers a HIPPA-based platform that includes a virtual waiting room. ● American Well offers a telehealth solution that can be embedded into your patients’ health records. ● Doximity allows doctors to connect with patients with minimal steps. ● Security and user-friendliness need to be the two biggest priorities for selecting successful platforms.   Looking to the future of healthcare ● The slow reopening of states will allow hospitals to offer elective outpatient procedures.  ● Pharmacies have the opportunity to embrace telemedicine and to offer best practices for their patients. ● The increased convenience and safety measures offered by telehealth benefit patients in a way that can and should be sustained beyond COVID-19.   Mentioned in This Episode: HOPA AmWell Zoom Healthcare Plan Doximity   Quotes: “In the past month, the culture around telemedicine has completely changed. It went from a nice option to something that is absolutely necessary.” — John Valgus   “Our leadership has recognized that we need to adapt in order to deliver care as safely as possible.” — Eve Segal   “Telemedicine gives us the opportunity to safely manage patients with an even higher level of quality than in the past.” — John Valgus   “Telehealth is an excellent, convenient service that should sustain itself beyond the time of COVID-19” — Maurice Alexander

In this special edition episode of The Cerner Podcast, we bring insights from the 2018 Cerner Health Conference in Kansas City, Missouri, where more than 12,000 attendees from across the country and the globe have come together to learn and network. Sit at the table with us as we have conversations with health care leaders, Cerner clients and industry influencers. We’ll be covering health IT trends and focusing on this year’s CHC theme of “Smarter Care.” In Tuesday's episode, you'll hear from Bill Conway, general manager of provider solutions from American Well; Kashif Rathore, Cerner’s Vice President of Interoperability; and Dr. Paul Fu, Jr., Chief Medical Informatics Officer at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.

In this episode, Dr. Sylvia Romm describes her journey from clinician to digital health innovator. A board certified pediatric hospitalist, she created a telehealth business and later sold it to a large health IT company, American Well. Now Sylvia serves as its VP for Medical Affairs. During our conversation, Sylvia provides an overview of the current state of the telemedicine industry. She also advises physicians about the types of opportunities available in the growing telehealth field and how to pursue them.

Dr. Lindsay Henderson is a clinical psychologist and currently the assistant director of Psychological Services at American Well. Before her position as assistant director, Lindsay worked as Staff Psychologist in the Child and Adolescent Division at McLean Hospital and also has experience in Harvard Medical School as Clinical Instructor. Her work revolves around adolescents and helping them cope with distress and emotional difficulty. Today, Lindsay talks about how today’s kids and young adolescents suffer stress primarily due to lack of sleep brought on by excessive use of smart phones and tablets. She also gives tips to parents regarding how to properly handle their kids’ relationship with technology.   “Our technology progresses much more than parenting can keep up with.” Dr. Lindsay Henderson In this episode, you’ll learn: There is a dysfunction in parenting in today’s society particularly on sleep issues with children. Advances and changes in society make it difficult for kids and adolescents to learn how to get to sleep and stay asleep for a good amount of time. Integrating technology in children's lives safely and healthily is not as fast as advancements in technology. We should not have phones and tablets before bedtime. Constant access to technology provides a constant stimulation which results to a child never truly learning to tolerate their own thoughts or emotions by themselves, especially because social media is addictive. Kids constantly have tablets or phones that turn their attention away from the task at hand. They never learn how to focus on one thing. Families should implement tech-free time in the household. Tech-free time in the morning before school is important as it sets the tone of the day in our brains to go forth engaging mindfully with one task at a time. Emotional skillset may not develop and cultivate when kids turn their attention towards technology use. Sleep is a challenging task emotionally. Sleep is the ultimate separation from reality as we are vulnerable when we close our eyes for hours at a time. When people are unable to develop skills to tolerate separation it can be difficult to get yourself ready to sleep. Poor quantity of sleep correlates (not causes) trying drugs and alcohol at an earlier age.   Key Takeaways: Sleep is something that needs to be worked on constantly. It's a habit that needs to be practiced and developed.   Mentioned in this episode: American Well Limiting Kids Screen Time article on the Amwell blog   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire   Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

Telehealth continues to gain traction in the health care industry. Today, more than 75 million Americans have telehealth as a covered medical benefit through their health plans.

Dr. Roy Schoenberg, president and CEO of American Well, a leading national telehealth company, discusses direct-to-consumer virtual care and the impact telehealth has on clinical effectiveness, efficiency and workflow implications.
