This week we're auctioning off items for Children's Wisconsin because we need to raise some money for this amazing health facility, here's why.

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Neuharth, the Vice President of Experience and Digital Innovation at Children's Wisconsin, to explore the journey from his background in software development to his current role at the forefront of healthcare technology. We discuss the evolution of user experience, the power of co-designing solutions with families and care teams, and the role of empathy in shaping impactful healthcare solutions. Join us as we uncover how technology is not only mitigating anxiety but also redefining the way families navigate and manage their children's healthcare needs. Discover the latest trends, successes, and challenges in the realm of digital health as we journey towards more accessible, empathetic, and integrated care.

To Christopher Neuharth, VP of Experience at Digital Innovation at Children's Wisconsin, adoption numbers don't mean that much – what matters is how technology is being utilized to “make the process easier and more efficient for our staff and families,” he said in a recent podcast interview.

Take a virtual coffee break today with the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment as we chat with Jeff Karst, PhD, pediatric psychologist in the MACC Fund Center at Children's Wisconsin and associate professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin about the new cautionary effects of social media on young people.

To the uninitiated, interoperability may sound like a surgical term, but it actually refers to how IT systems and other technologies communicate with each other. The goal, of course, is seamless communication to improve efficiency and quality of care, but that's obviously a big challenge. Today on Raise the Line, we dive into this important issue with two people who come at it from different professional perspectives, but who share that goal. Oh, and they also happen to be brothers!  Jake Engle is a Senior Director at Oracle Cerner, a supplier of health information technology used at thousands of facilities worldwide. His brother, Dr. Sam Engle, is a pediatric endocrinologist at Children's Wisconsin. On the patient care side, Dr. Engle talks about the value of having a complete patient history in hand prior to appointments to maximize the efficiency of the time spent, but also to avoid doing duplicate tests. “Especially with kids, you never want to have to repeat labs if you don't need to. I feel very strongly about that.” From the tech side, Jake Engle addresses the challenge of trying to synthesize data from multiple sources such as EHRs, insurance records, public health databases or commercial products focused on one niche of healthcare. “I think the healthcare systems are a bit late to the game and it's much a more complicated game.” You'll also learn about efforts to make it easier for patients to access their health data, the need for data standards in the industry and how their personal relationship contributes to this work.

This week on the Faculty Factory podcast, we welcome back Jennifer Apps, PhD, as she shares her insights on the topic of "mental load" and offers practical strategies for effectively navigating it. Dr. Apps explains that mental load refers to the cognitive effort involved in managing and organizing tasks, both in personal and professional life. The discussion is prompted by Dr. Apps' realization of her own mental load. Recognizing the gender-based aspect of mental load, she delves deeper into understanding its impact on households and workplaces. The episode explores the concept of mental load, its effects, and ways to address it in different contexts. Dr. Apps is a pediatric neuropsychologist at Children's Wisconsin, a pediatric acute care children's hospital in Milwaukee. She also serves as a professor and vice chair of faculty development in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine Department. In addition, she is the associate provost of Faculty Affairs at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). She previously joined us for an episode titled 'How Faculty Can Succeed While Avoiding Overcommitment,' and you can listen to it here: https://facultyfactory.org/jennifer-apps/ When it comes to mental load, Dr. Apps describes the cognitive effort that goes into this as constant, never ending, and exhausting. “I'm a big believer in gratitude and I believe that gratitude is a cognitive methodology that unlocks new ways of being able to look at situations,” she told us.

At some point in our academic medicine careers, we will all overcommit ourselves to an overwhelming number of responsibilities.   Jennifer Apps, PhD, joins the Faculty Factory Podcast this week to chat about reconnecting to our values to reclaim some balance. Dr. Apps is a pediatric neuropsychologist at Children's Wisconsin, a pediatric acute care children's hospital in Milwaukee. She also serves as associate professor and the vice chair of faculty development in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine Department. No one wants to miss a potentially great opportunity and many of us have a hard time saying no, but without clearly defining our values it is difficult to prioritize what matters most.  “The worst feeling comes when you get into these positions and you feel like you're not doing any of them because you're just managing them all instead of really being able to excel,” she said.   As we enter a new year and Season 5 of the Faculty Factory Podcast, this interview will hopefully serve as an inspiration to many.  “We've all gone into these fields where we've demonstrated the ability to persevere towards a long-term goal, but in order to do that, you have to have these values that have been guiding you,” Dr. Apps said.  Learn More: https://facultyfactory.org/

"Is this normal?" So often, new parents aren't sure - whether it's their baby's behavior, growth, or even what's going on in their diapers. In this episode of Healthy Baby, Happy Parent, you'll hear several pediatricians from Children's Wisconsin weigh in about the most common "is this normal" questions they hear from new moms and dads - as well as the questions they had themselves as parents! 

Watching your baby grow can be so exciting - but also, confusing! Those milestone charts are fun, but may not tell you what to expect from YOUR unique baby, or give you a clear picture of your baby's development overall. This conversation with Children's Wisconsin pediatrician, Dr. Kenneth Strezlecki, will help you make sense of what's happening in your baby's body and brain in that first year and a half of life, which new behaviors and accomplishments you should be looking for, and what to do if you aren't sure your baby is hitting all the developmental milestones at the right time.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still a big part of our day to day lives, parents with babies and toddlers are often confused about the best way to protect them from getting infected - or what to do if they become sick. In this episode of Healthy Baby, Happy Parent, we talk with Children's Wisconsin pediatrician Dr. Christopher Schwake about the most current information on preventing spread, treating COVID-19, vaccinations, and how you can keep your baby healthy and safe. 

Believe it or not, your baby is starting to bond with you right from birth, and those early months are full of real-time evidence that your baby is developing a strong attachment and actually learning to love you. In this episode, Children's Wisconsin pediatrician Dr.  Schreiber shares ways your baby shows attachment and love, from first smiles to separation anxiety. You'll also hear from Children's Wisconsin child and family therapist Becky Verdin about what to do if your baby ISN'T showing some of those signs, and other ways you can help bond with your baby through the first year and beyond. 

Feeding your baby may seem simple, but from what formula to choose to how and when to start solids, there are a lot of decisions to make! In the second episode of our "feeding your baby" series, we talk with Children's Wisconsin pediatrician Dr. Daniel Dorrington to demystify bottle-feeding and starting solids. This episode will help you feed your baby with more confidence, whether you're thinking about introducing a bottle or want to know the best way and time to start solids.    

If there's one sure thing to look forward to as a new parent, it's that you're going to have a lot of diapers to change. And sometimes, what's IN those diapers can be pretty mysterious! Today, Children's Wisconsin pediatrician Dr. Barbara Calkins gives us the real scoop on baby's poop - what's normal, why it changes so much, and what it can tell you about what's going on inside your baby's body. 

We have a great program for you this week which will provide all of the answers you have come to expect from The Word on Medicine.

Babies sure are cute - but their skin can be a mess! In this episode, we're talking with Dr. LaVaughn Cotton, an urgent care pediatrician with Children's Wisconsin, about all those itches, bumps and rashes that can show up on your baby's face and body. Whether it's an allergic reaction, a virus, or a simple case of diaper rash, this conversation will help you figure out what's going on - and what to do.   

Why do babies go to the doctor when they aren't actually sick? Children's Wisconsin pediatrician Dr. Paul Veldhouse tells us what really happens during a well-baby visit and why they're so important. From learning more about your baby's development, to getting advice on feeding and sleep, to making sure Mom is getting what she needs, well-baby visits are about more than shots and growth charts. Find out more in this episode of Healthy Baby, Happy Parent! 

What does it really mean to “sleep through the night” - and when will your baby do it? How come babies sometimes seem to be great sleepers...and then suddenly start waking up every half-hour again? What's the best way to get baby to fall and STAY asleep? In this episode, Children's Wisconsin pediatrician Dr. Barbara Calkins tackles the most common sleep-related issues new parents face.

  Are you ready for baby? Listen as pediatrician Dr. Patrick Lehman advises expecting parents what they REALLY need to know, do, and have before baby comes along - and what *isn't* so necessary. From registering for nursery essentials to preparing for your hospital stay, this episode of the Healthy Baby, Happy Parent podcast from Children's Wisconsin is a reassuring, realistic take on getting ready for the new addition to your family.   

Every parent wants their baby to get the best possible start. Luckily,  there are easy, fun things every mom and dad can do to help your baby learn and grow.
