The healthcare landscape is evolving, and at the center of this transformation is a renewed focus on that which should be most important: the patient and family we serve.   This podcast episode's primary theme features Carole Fisher, President of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI), and Bill Keane, Vice President and Director of Strategy at Emergence. The conversation delves into the current state of healthcare, particularly end-of-life care, and the need for a paradigm shift in how we view and manage it.  One of the significant points highlighted in this riveting discussion is the importance of putting people before profits.  This notion should be at the heart of any healthcare discussion, but with today's challenges and pressures, non-profits are spearheading the call to return to the most important one. Recently, NPHI partnered with Emergence to publish a report titled “People Over Profits.”  The report highlighted many significant findings that have the potential to guide serious illness providers through the challenges of the future.  Here's a great quote from the Executive Summary of the report that we unpack and discuss, “Community-based mission-driven organizations can offer a new narrative of what healthcare can and should be.”  The report included a section on the identified top concerns about aging, which are critical if serious illness providers want to understand the evolving landscape, desires, and needs of those we serve.  In the last portion of the episode, Carole and Bill directly speak to hospice and palliative care leaders and their advice to them, given the findings of this groundbreaking work. Join us.  This podcast episode is not only insightful but also thought-provoking.  It offers a fresh perspective on the future of healthcare and the potential of hospice and palliative care organizations to lead the way into the future.GuestCarol FisherPresident, National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation Senior Advisor, Healthsperien Executive Coach, Speaker and Podcaster Bill KeaneVP and Director of Strategy at EmergenceHostChris ComeauxPresident / CEO of TCNhttps://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcastTeleios Collaborative Network / https://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcast

K-Pop is known for its good-looking stars, catchy tunes, and teenage fanbase. However, as journalist Chloe Hadjimatheou investigates in her new Radio 4 series, Burning Sun, there is a darker and frankly horrifying side to this popular music phenomenon. She chats to Hannah about what life is like for women in South Korea, sexual abuse, and the digital culture enabling it. Mick chats to Carole Fisher, host of new podcast The Girlfriends, a true crime story about the murder of Gail Katz by her husband Robert Bierenbaum, about how he got away with it for 15 years, and the women who eventually helped bring him to justice. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen's chatting about a whole host of World Cup action, and the sporty theme continues in Rated or Dated, albeit with a lamentable lack of dancing horses, as the team watches 1978's International Velvet. Meanwhile, there are rebrands galore in the Bush Telegraph, aka, The Home of Nuance.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.

What role should men play in stopping sexist behaviour? Several campaigns have aimed to tackle this, the most recent being the Mayor of London's Maaate initiative. To discuss Nuala is joined by Karen Whybro who is a Woman's Safety Consultant and Graham Goulden, the former Chief Inspector at Police Scotland, and who now offers training to organisations to improve team culture. The play, Beneatha's place, currently running at the Young Vic, shows the main character Beneatha in two different periods of her life. First, in 1959, as a young black activist. Then 50 years later, as a renowned Dean of an American university. With Nuala to talk about the play is Cherrelle Skeete who plays Beneatha and Nicola Rollock, Professor of Social Policy and Race at King's College London who worked as a cultural consultant to the play. Earlier this month the Taliban ordered the closure of women's beauty salons in Afghanistan. Faranak Amidi speaks to Shekiba Habib from BBC Pashto and Aaliya Farzan from BBC Dari about this latest restriction. The International Confederation of Midwives has appointed the world's first ever Chief Midwife. Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent joins Nuala to talk about the challenges midwives face across the world, and how she hopes to combat them. The podcast The Girlfriends follows a group of women coming together to investigate their ex-boyfriend. It begins in 1989 when a man named Bob Bierenbaum moved to Las Vegas. When a group of his ex-girlfriends discover that his wife, Gail Katz, went missing and is presumed dead, they go from dating him to investigating him. Almost 30 years later, Carole Fisher, one of the women who dated Bob, joins Nuala to discuss how she finally got justice for Gail. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Emma Pearce

In this podcast, our first of 2023, Chris interviews Tom Koutsoumpas, President and CEO of Capital Caring Health & CEO of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI) and Carole Fisher, President of the NPHI.  Recently, ProPublica and The New Yorker published an article by Ava Kofman titled, “How Hospice Became a For-Profit Hustle.”  This article put hospice in the news quite a bit toward the end of 2022 and unfortunately it did not differentiate the very real variances between for-profit hospices, which are the hospices the article was highlighting, and nonprofit community-based mission focused hospices like NPHI members and Teleios Collaborative Network (TCN) members.  Chris quoted a great op-ed from Timothy Noah, staff writer with The New Republic.  The op-ed was responding to the ProPublica article by drawing a sharp comparison of for-profit hospice to nonprofit hospice.  Tom and Carole responded to the ProPublica article and the op-ed, they further highlighted the differences of nonprofit and for-profit hospice via a study NPHI commissioned by Milliman.  Carole then went on to share a new study NPHI commissioned on Americans' views on the US Healthcare system, aging, and end-of-life care.  Carole shared the fascinating outcomes from the study and how community-based nonprofit hospices can leverage this information.  This is great listen with some great data and learning regarding how community-based nonprofit hospices can build on their care models to further differentiate themselves from the horrible examples in the ProPublica article which aren't even in the same universe of what community-based nonprofit hospices are providing to their communities.  This is a great listen for leaders, team members, and board members of the hospice and palliative care movement.  This episode will inform and challenge listeners regarding our evolution and allowing our serious illness organizations to stand apart for those needing our services tomorrow and into the future.  Join us.Host: Chris Comeaux, President / CEO of TCNGuest:Carole Fisher, President of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI)Tom Koutsoumpas, President and CEO of Capital Caring Health & CEO of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI)Teleios Collaborative Network / https://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcast

In this podcast, Chris interviews Carole Fisher.  Carole is the President of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI).  These are challenging times for community-owned, mission-driven nonprofit hospice and palliative care organizations, and there are more storm clouds gathering.  Carole shares from her unique perspective the elements of this perfect storm that we are already in and continues to head our way.  This is a great listen for leaders and team members of the hospice and palliative care movement.  This episode will inform and also challenge listeners with what we will need to be prepared to navigate today and tomorrow.  Join us.Quote:Transition differs from change.  Change is a shift in people's situations; transition is the psychological reorientation that they make to come to terms and deal effectively with the change.   - William Bridges Our Guest:  Carole Fisher, President of NPHIwww.hospiceinnovations.orgOur Host: Chris Comeaux, CEO & President of TCNwww.teleioscn.org/tcntalks

The Mass Casualty Commission proceedings today included two presentations on Foundational Documents by Commission lawyer, Roger Burrill. These presentations revealed several missed opportunities to stop the killer, a terrifying (seemingly impromptu) visit, and two tragic deaths. After killing Lillian Campbell while she was out walking, the killer proceeded south on Highway 4, which would have eventually led him back to the TransCanada Highway and Masstown. At 9:47 AM, Cpl. Rodney Peterson met the killer's mock RCMP vehicle while Cpl. Peterson was traveling north on Highway 4. He immediately radioed that he thought he had encountered the perpetrator. Unfortunately, Cpl. Peterson did not immediately turn his vehicle around to follow the killer, but rather waited until he felt he had a safe spot to make a U-turn, which turned out to be 1.2 km beyond the meeting point. By the time he turned around to pursue the killer, he was out of sight. The Commission will have to confront the difficult issue of how aggressive police should be in active shooter situations. This meeting is one of several examples where it appears that more aggressive action would have been appropriate. Being aggressive is dangerous, of course, but police are supposed to protect citizens from danger, and so the Commission will need to think about what an appropriate level of personal risk for a police officer might be. Cpl. Peterson continued to drive south towards the TransCanada Highway, hoping to catch up. Meanwhile, the killer had turned into the driveway of Adam and Carole Fisher, a couple who were known to him, though not well. (The killer had asked Mr. Fisher to give him a quote on an excavating job some years prior, and had been to their home before.) Wortman drove up the driveway, parked his mock cruiser where it could not be seen from the road, and with gun in hand knocked on Fisher's door. The Fishers did not answer the door, and in fact each of them had called 911 to alert the police of the killer's presence. Adam Fisher had actually also called 911 earlier when he found out the name of the killer, to let the police know about the vehicles owned by Wortman. (The killer had told Fisher about his plans to assemble a mock RCMP vehicle some years earlier.) Unfortunately, because they were hiding out of sight in their home, the Fishers were not able to advise that the killer had left after just over two minutes in their yard. It would seem that the killer had only gone into this familiar location to elude Cpl. Peterson, as when he left he went north, rather than following Cpl. Peterson's route south. Kristin Beaton was working that morning, traveling to clients' homes as part of her work for the VON. She had pulled over to check her phone and text with her husband when the killer pulled over next to her, went to her window and shot her. Some passersby witnessed the interaction, though not the actual shooting. Heather O'Brien was also working for VON, though at the moment was going to visit her grandchildren for her weekly Sunday socially distanced visit. She was on the phone with her friend when she was pulled over by Wortman and killed not far away from Ms. Beaton. 911 calls alerted police that these further killings had taken place, and therefore the police knew to leave the Fisher residence. The killer drove south on MacElmond Road back towards Hwy 2/4 between Portapique and Truro, and headed east on Hwy 2/4, passing the Onslow Fire Hall some minutes later.
