We explore how commonly used medications like fentanyl, hydromorphone, morphine, midazolam, and ketamine are routinely wasted in significant quantities.John and Les discuss how their multi-site study quantified not just product waste but also the substantial ""workforce time waste"" associated with medication disposal processes. With an estimated $56,557 worth of medication and staff time wasted annually at just the hospitals studied, our conversation examines the practical implications for healthcare systems nationwide.We also delve into potential solutions, including automated workflows that significantly reduce documentation time, manufacturer considerations for right-sized medication packaging, and the patient safety implications when clinical staff are pulled away from care to witness waste disposal.Whether you're a healthcare administrator, pharmacy professional, or clinician, this evidence-based discussion offers valuable insights into an often overlooked aspect of healthcare efficiency and resource management.Thanks to our sponsor, MIDAS Healthcare SolutionsLearn more about V.I.E.W.

In this podcast episode, moderator Dave Lehr, Chief Strategy Officer at Meritus Health, interviews Dr. Alan Weiss, Chief Medical Information Officer at Baycare Health System. Dr. Weiss describes the trailblazing analytics dashboards that he and the team at Baycare developed to help fight the opioid crisis. With an innovative data subscription method, digital health leaders can gain insights on which providers may be “outliers” in the number of opioid prescriptions they are writing for patients. Using this data to follow up with a private and tactful consultation system to help providers realize when their prescriptions may be out of alignment with those of their peers, Dr. Weiss's team was able to reduce opioid prescriptions by double-digit figures. This breakthrough result is lifesaving, as decreasing the number of prescriptions means also reducing the risk that patients will develop opioid dependencies. In addition, the data shows that reducing the prescription numbers did not appear to lead to any rise in negative outcomes such as increased overdoses from street drugs containing fentanyl. Dr. Weiss looks forward to further analytics developments with his team that will allow the identification of patients at high risk of accidental overdose. Dr. Alan M. Weiss is CMIO for BayCare Health System. He holds primary responsibility over all clinical systems and their associated governance as well as providing executive leadership over data and analytics. He was previously the first Ambulatory CMIO for Memorial Herman System. Dr. Weiss spent 10 years practicing at the Cleveland Clinic, where he was head of the business informatics group in primary care and head of main campus internal medicine operations. He is passionate about patient care and advocates for the proper use of data and analytics to refine EHR development toward the inclusion of evidence-based medicine. Dave Lehr is Meritus Health's first chief strategy officer. In 2021, Governor Larry Hogan appointed him as a commissioner to the Community Health Resources Commission. He also serves on the board for the Washington County Chamber of Commerce. Before joining Meritus, Dave was the chief information officer for Luminis Health, based in Annapolis, where he was selected as one of the top 25 emerging leaders in health care in 2019 by Modern Healthcare.

Discipline, initiative, and responsibility are all skills you would expect a young person to learn in the military. But what about teamwork and learning to successfully collaborate with others as a whole greater than its parts? For Hugh Campbell, his time in the US Army taught him this invaluable lesson.

When you know, you know. About a job, about a person, about a house.  When you know, you know. You may experience it as a nagging.  You may experience it as a nudge.  You may experience it as a tree falling on your house.  Or you may experience it as you asking a million people what they think about so and so, or this place, or your role, or your problem. But deep inside, when you really get quiet, and you finally ask yourself the question, without distractions…you know. So, why do we fumble so much? Ah, one of those all-consuming questions. My guest on this week's Peace & Possibilities podcast, Rachael Baker is sharing how she figured it out. And of course, it's never a straight line there. And because yourself really does know, you can figure it out by following your intuition, believing you can do it, and NOT listening to people telling you you're not cut out for something!  If, of course, you BELIEVE you are! What do they know, anyway? They may think they know about you, but only you know when you know. How could they possibly know about you? The good news is that you get to decide. Because you have to LIVE your life. Not the person who told you that you couldn't. We're all in charge of designing the life we want.  So stop managing it and create exactly what you want. And for crying out loud, STOP second guessing yourself!
