In a conversation with CancerNetwork® at the 2024 Annual Oncology Clinical Practice and Research Summit, Andrew M. Evens, DO, MBA, MSc, spoke about a session he moderated at the meeting, in which he and other panelists highlighted ongoing efforts to improve the quality of care for cancer survivors at his institution.  Evens is the deputy director for Clinical Services at Rutgers Cancer Institute and the system director of Medical Oncology and the oncology lead at RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group. He is also the associate vice chancellor for Clinical Innovation and Data Analytics at Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences. Evens contextualized the presentation by describing various gaps in care for survivors of cancer, particularly among adolescent and young adult populations or those who become “lost in transition” as they switch from pediatric to adulthood survivorship. He emphasized a growing effort to mitigate the risks of post-acute or late effects following prior anti-cancer therapy, which can include cardiac disease, lung disease, or increased infections associated with chemotherapy or radiation.  As part of elevating the level of care for cancer survivors, Evens described the collaborative efforts across different departments at his institution, including medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists; pharmacists; nurses; pathologists; and members of the clinical research team. Other international research projects, including those formed in association with the National Cancer Institute, aim to elucidate the granularity of treatment-related toxicity, which may help inform better survivorship care strategies.  “Survivorship includes many factors,” Evens said. “There are physical and emotional factors, and we want to do everything we can as a comprehensive cancer program, and to do what's best for the patient in a holistic manner. [Beyond the] cancer, it also means the emotional factors and health behavior modifications. For the rest of their life, [we want to] help the patient in every way possible so they can live the most fruitful life. A high quality of life is what we strive for.” Reference Evens A, Cole P, Ligresti L, Manne S. Cancer survivorship: scale, scope, and partnerships for patient-centered care. Presented at the 2024 Annual Oncology Clinical Practice and Research Summit; November 15-16, 2024; New Brunswick, NJ.

Series Two: Who Defines Risk? This series topic was borne from the recent happenings in the world of homebirth in Australia around Professional Indemnity Insurance for Privately Practicing Midwives and the potential parameters that they will have to practice within. Advocacy efforts are underway to ensure that women can continue to choose where and with whom they give birth and that midwives can continue to support them. Homebirth Australia (HBA) are asking people to write to their MPs informing them of how the proposed insurance will impact them personally. Please refer to HBA Instagram for more information: www.instagram.com/homebirth_australia Episode One: Exploring the concept of risk with Kristyn Begnell from Homebirth Australia In this episode Jo and Jerusha chat with Kristyn Begnell from Homebirth Australia. They explore the concept of risk, who gets to define it and how this potentially violates human rights and ethical practice guidelines. Kristyn is a mother of two young girls, living on Darug and Gundungurra country in the Blue Mountains of NSW. After researching different models of care, Kristyn planned a homebirth with a privately practising midwife (PPM) for her first child but transferred to hospital at 37 weeks due to medical complications unrelated to pregnancy. She describes her birth experience in a public hospital as traumatic. Kristyn saw the same midwife during her second and third pregnancies and had a successful homebirth after caesarean in 2018. This experience propelled her into maternity advocacy, particularly homebirth advocacy, when she became a consumer representative for her local publicly funded homebirth program and joined Homebirth NSW (then Homebirth Access Sydney) in 2018. She has since been a consumer representative for the Australian College of Midwives, the Bureau of Health Information, the NSW Ministry of Health, The Agency of Clinical Innovation, the LEAPP Guidelines, her local health district and has been the National Convenor of Homebirth Australia since 2021. Kristyn testified at the recent NSW Birth Trauma Inquiry both as a consumer and as a representative of Homebirth Australia.

So far in our series on bespoke care and innovation, we've delved into the future of cancer care and the opportunities for equity in precision medicine. But we can't conclude our series without talking about one of the most exciting developments in the field: cell and gene therapies. We've talked about these therapies on the pod before—but like everyone else, we've primarily focused on the payment side of the equation and looked at how purchasers and pharma can work together to ensure patient access. These conversations miss the voice of a key stakeholder: providers. What is the role of the provider organizations in realizing the value of cell and gene therapies? To answer that question, in the final episode of our series leading up to Advisory Board's Clinical Innovation Summit: Revolutions in Specialty Care, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board pharmacy experts Gina Lohr and Chloe Bakst to unpack unpack how providers are grappling with how to get these life-changing treatments to those that need them.

It's no secret that healthcare is becoming more and more personalized – or “bespoke” – as increasingly sophisticated diagnostics and therapeutics continue to explode into the market. This vast pipeline is redefining the industry in several ways—but there is real risk associated if the stakeholders responsible for developing, delivering, and paying for these innovations aren't baking health equity into their business models. Last week, in the first episode of our run up to the Advisory Board Clinical Innovation Summit: Revolutions in Specialty Care, we discussed Advisory Board's prediction for the future of oncology. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board experts Amanda Okaka and Fanta Cherif to break down the health equity conundrum presented by precision medicine: Will precision medicine reduce health disparities, or exacerbate them? The answer depends on the actions—big and small—of industry leaders.

There has been a lot of change in the oncology space in the last few years. These changes have brought new pressures, like workforce strain, increased competition, rising spend, and more. While many leaders are worried about the "right now," it is crucial to consider how you can best position yourself for the future of cancer care. That's why, in this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board specialty care experts Lindsey Paul and Julia Elder to discuss why preparing for the future means making changes today. Throughout the conversation, they discuss how current pressures are changing the field of oncology and four ways cancer care will change by 2030.

In today's episode we delve into the impactful conversation between host Dr. Sarah Smith and guest Dr. Marc-David Munk, an emergency physician and author. The discussion addresses the underlying issues contributing to burnout and disillusionment among physicians, the challenges within the emergency medicine realm, and the necessity of redefining clinical medicine for sustainability. Dr. Munk shares his experiences from transitioning from emergency medicine to creating disruptive healthcare models, emphasizing the critical need for clinician advocacy in addressing system-wide issues. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: 1️⃣ Physicians feel the impact of dysfunctional systems in medicine, leading to burnout and disillusionment. The emergency department reflects broader healthcare issues, with understaffing, heavy patient loads, and a lack of investment. This calls for a fundamental shift in incentivizing and motivating physicians. 2️⃣ Healthcare incentivization should prioritize process measures over outcome goals, recognizing the influence of genetics, patient behavior, and socioeconomic factors on outcomes. Dr. Munk advocates for a non-punitive approach to collecting and sharing performance data, promoting accountability and quality improvement. 3️⃣ Dr. Munk's transition to implementing a disruptive primary care model, with longer appointments and health coaches, emphasizes the importance of reconnection with patients and redefining the delivery of healthcare. We need smarter approaches to healthcare delivery, focusing on population health, prevention, and creative strategies for patient care. Dr. Marc-David Munk Bio: Dr Marc-David M a Canadian/American, has emerged as a prominent figure in healthcare, driving change in emergency medicine and healthcare management across the U.S. and internationally.

Dr. Drew Contreras is the Vice President of Clinical Innovation and Integration at the American Physical Therapy Association. And while that title may not give you the clearest idea about his job description, he can share a lot of pearls of wisdom as to where our profession has been and where it is going.

With so many clinical innovations abound, it's easy to get excited about groundbreaking drugs, consumer technologies and even possible cures for rare diseases. However, the industry must recognize its own limitations in order to make these advancements accessible and equitable. At the end of August, hundreds of healthcare leaders gathered at Advisory Board's Clinical Innovation Summit in Minneapolis to learn about the implications of the transformation of patient care across the industry. The Radio Advisory team orchestrated a live podcast recording with thought leaders across the industry to talk about embedding equity in innovation. In this special live episode of Radio Advisory, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Maia Laing, SVP of Health Equity for UnitedHealth Group, and Michael Mejia, Advisory Board's director of life sciences research, to discuss how leaders can think about deploying, designing, and financing clinical innovations in an equitable way. Throughout the conversation, they discuss how payers and providers – not just life sciences – can rethink their practices to ensure advancements in innovation are shared equitably.

While the health care industry can be challenging, with complex regulations and long-established bureaucracies, an innovative company called Redesign Health is working to transform it from within. Redesign Health is one of a number of organizations that received fresh funding last fall to boost health care startups from CVS Health Ventures, a unit of CVS Health which focuses on data-driven medicine and digital health investments. And in just the last five years, Redesign's New York-based team of about 300 has helped launch more than 50 tech-enabled health care businesses – providing not only talent and capital, but the scaffolding and support to launch them.Neil Patel, head of New Ventures at Redesign Health, explains how they've already improved patient care and touched the lives of more than 10 million people across health verticals that include treating cancer, tele-audiology, senior care, COVID-19 testing, metabolic health, as well as mental health. As he notes, “There's no shortage of problems to solve in health care, the question is the when and the how, as opposed to if you should do it.” Patel is joined by Andrea Messina, executive director and partner at CVS Health Ventures, who characterizes the investment in Redesign Health as an indirect opportunity to sustain and build new companies. "They take a lot of the most, as we see it, difficult elements of starting a new company out of the equation for prospective founders," Messina says.Learn more CVS Health Ventures Redesign Health

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Cozy Earth.Over 300 million people around the world experience depression. For the last half-century, the dominant explanation for depression has centered on serotonin. The basic idea is that low levels of brain serotonin or serotonin activity lead to symptoms of depression. But in the last several decades, a number of researchers have challenged the idea that serotonin plays a principal role, or even a major role, in depression. So, if it's not a serotonin issue, what is it?Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru and Dr. Austin Perlmutter talk about why serotonin may not explain depression, but research on other brain pathways may provide answers such as neuroplasticity, our hormones, metabolic health, gut health, and the immune connection to the brain. They also discuss how there is a lot we can do through our lifestyle choices to help prevent and even manage depression.Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified internal medicine physician and expert on how environmental influences affect our mental and brain health. He is a coauthor of the New York Times and international bestseller Brain Wash, which he wrote with his father Dr. David Perlmutter, and he hosts the Get The STUCK Out podcast. He currently serves as the Senior Director of Science and Clinical Innovation at Big Bold Health, where he is running an IRB-approved pilot trial exploring the effects of polyphenols on epigenetic expression. In this episode, we dive into: -The top drivers of depression (1:42)-The connection between neuroinflammation and depression (9:30)-How our immune system influences our brain function (11:49)-What governs our brain state and how we make decisions (16:04)-The top causes of inflammation (17:31)-How exposure to particulate matter impacts our brain function (36:21)-The top foods for brain health (44:15) -Why depression is not a serotonin issue (50:37)-Myths about serotonin (56:47) -What you can do to improve your brain health (1:16:22)Also mentioned in this episode: -Dr. Mark Hyman's Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat Pancake RecipeFor more on Dr. Perlmutter, follow him on Instagram @draustinperlmutter, Facebook @draustinnperlmutter, and through his website austinperlmutter.com.
