In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Brett Richardson, founder of DermaCautery to discuss chemical cauterization of benign skin lesions, who can perform it in the practice, and the benefits it brings to your business and your patients. Key Takeaways:Chemical cauterization of lid lesions is within the training of optometrists, and is permitted in many, but not all states.The procedure is relatively straightforward. A wooden applicator is soaked in the chemical agent. Following application, the lid lesion will no longer receive blood supply, leading to necrosis and sloughing off. Follow up is 2-3 weeks and is rare to have complications.Patients actively desire to have these skin lesions removed but aren't necessarily thinking about having it done in the optometrist's office. The lead in conversation is important and many patients will be open to receiving treatment.Staff are a great asset with this service. It is not a major burden on the team as the treatment and preparation is relatively simple. Getting them on board is key to success.Depending on the patient complaints, it may or may not be billable to insurance. For cosmetic only, it is a cash based procedure. On average, each treatment adds $350 per patient to your top line. Given most of it is a service based, most of that drops to your bottom line.What Brett is Reading:10X Is Easier Than 2X by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin HardyPractice Advantage Reading List** Don't miss out on an extra $15 rebate for all commercial VSP Eye Exams this year - with $15 extended through June of 2026, and $10 thru the end of next year!

Mark Goddard, Vice President of Clinical Services at Infobionic.AI, describes the remote cardiac monitoring system that provides near real-time monitoring of patients with potential cardiac irregularities. The benefit of continuous monitoring allows for early detection of arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation, a growing concern driven by an aging population and factors like obesity and high blood pressure. AI-driven algorithms are used to analyze ECG data and identify potential issues, enabling proactive treatment and prevention of complications like stroke. Mark explains, "The focus of our monitoring system is to provide near real-time monitoring of patients who are reporting maybe cardiac irregularities. The whole idea is to provide that near-real-time access to cardiac information so that arrhythmias can be identified relatively quickly. Additionally, the treatments for those arrhythmias are relatively quick as well, providing better patient outcomes. Just related to the fact that the data is always there, and it comes in maybe a minute or two behind live." "We are partnered with a major health system that has an AI engine that is basically developing AI tools that can be utilized in cardiac monitors. And just looking at the patient's ECG, they're able to determine the potential for arrhythmias that may not have occurred yet. And that's kind of what we're focusing on. The ability to review ECG and understand those little nuances that may indicate, hey, this patient's going to have an event like atrial fibrillation, which is the most common irregular rhythm there is, especially for an aging population. Identifying those folks early can really help with not only the outcome for the patient, in that they're not going to run into the problems you may have if you don't recognize you have atrial fibrillation, but it'll also decrease healthcare costs, which in the end helps everybody." #InfobionicAI #MedAI #Cardiology #AFib #HeartMonitor #CardiacTracking infobionic.ai Download the transcript here

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Guest: Mylynda Massart, MD, PhD Given its ability to identify universal cancer signals across multiple tumor types, multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing is emerging as a promising tool to complement traditional, single-cancer screening methods. Joining Dr. Brian McDonough to share practical strategies for introducing MCED testing into clinical workflows and enhancing patient engagement is Dr. Mylynda Massart. Not only is she an Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, but she's also the Founder and Medical Director of the Primary Care Precision Medicine Clinic and Associate Director of Clinical Services for the Institute for Precision Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Dr. Todd Norwood, Senior Director of Clinical Services at Omada Health, a virtual care platform specializing in chronic disease management. With a background as a board-certified orthopedic and sports physical therapist, Todd shares his journey from traditional clinical practice to the forefront of digital health innovation—including his role in co-founding Physera, a telehealth startup later acquired by Omada.Jerry and Todd dive deep into the critical role of patient engagement in modern healthcare, exploring how technology can enhance outcomes while maintaining high-quality care. Todd breaks down key insights from his research, revealing how simple actions—like regular messaging between visits—can compound into significant improvements in patient adherence and clinical results. They also discuss the importance of data in proving value, the evolving landscape of telehealth, and why physical therapists must embrace digital tools to stay ahead.Key Takeaways:• Patient engagement drives outcomes: Each additional weekly message from a PT increases patient compliance with home exercises by 11%—and these effects multiply over time.• Early intervention matters: Starting care within 24 hours of sign-up boosts long-term engagement and success.• Tech is just a tool: The real skill lies in knowing when and how to use digital platforms to enhance—not replace—clinical expertise.• Data is non-negotiable: Accreditation and payer trust require proof of impact. PTs must measure outcomes rigorously to demonstrate their value.• The patient's core needs: Clear diagnosis, prognosis, and defined roles (patient + provider) are the foundation of trust and retention.Todd's research underscores a powerful truth: what's best for patients is best for business. Whether you're a clinician, practice owner, or healthcare innovator, this episode is packed with actionable insights to elevate care delivery in the digital age.

Send us a textWhat happens when traditional masculinity meets modern mental health needs? Dr. Tim Hess, licensed psychologist and Associate Director for Clinical Services at Ball State University's Counseling Center, joins Dr. Beth Trammell to unpack the complex world of men's mental health in this thought-provoking conversation.From the moment Dr. Hess introduces his metaphor of "deciding when to stop yelling at the tsunami and start surfing," listeners are drawn into a nuanced exploration of how masculinity scripts shape men's emotional lives. Drawing from his extensive experience working with college-age men, Tim reveals how traditional Western masculinity ideologies—focused on achievement, emotional control, and independence—continue to influence how men perceive themselves and their emotional needs, even as these scripts evolve across generations.One of the most powerful insights emerges when discussing romantic relationships: many young men place all their emotional eggs in one relationship basket, leaving them devastated and without support when that relationship ends. This leads to the profound observation that "the moment you need a friend is not the moment to build friendship"—a universal truth that resonates far beyond the realm of men's mental health.Throughout the episode, Dr. Trammell and Dr. Hess navigate the delicate balance of recognizing patterns in masculine socialization while honoring individual differences. They explore how therapy provides a safe space for vulnerability, the challenges men face in building meaningful friendships, and the often-undiscussed impact of body image and sexual performance concerns on men's self-perception.Whether you're a mental health professional, someone who identifies as male, or simply interested in understanding how gender expectations shape emotional wellbeing, this conversation offers valuable insights into creating more supportive environments where vulnerability is welcomed rather than stigmatized. Join us for this engaging discussion and tune in next week when Dr. Hess returns to tackle the increasingly relevant topic of self-diagnosis.Support the showwww.bethtrammell.com

Chelsey Lindner, a pharmacist and Manager of Clinical Services at Shields Health Solutions, provides insights about the growing prevalence of oral and subcutaneous injection oncology medications, which is shifting the delivery of care from the clinic to at-home. This innovation in cancer care introduces complexities around accessing and affording these specialty drugs and requires the skills of a specialty pharmacy to support the patients and providers. In an integrated care model, there is also a growing need for attention to medication adherence and monitoring for side effects by these pharmacists. Chelsey explains, "Shields is considered a specialty pharmacy integrator. We partner with health systems across the country to help them operate best-in-class specialty pharmacy programs. We are focused on improving patient outcomes through specialized pharmacy services and supporting the optimized use of specialty medications through navigation of access, care coordination, and comprehensive medication management. So those are three of the big services Shields offers as a company." "I would say that the number one component that these oral oncology medications offer is a level of patient convenience and maintenance of their quality of life. Because what was a cancer diagnosis 20 years ago meant they were going to have to come to the health center or be admitted to the hospital to receive their treatment. Whereas now, when a patient might be faced with a certain cancer diagnosis, they will be managing it like a chronic condition. They can stay at home, they can stay with their families. They can do all of those things that they want to do that help support that quality of life as they're going through active cancer treatment. And so with that certainly comes, I think, a level of popularity.

This innovation in cancer care introduces complexities around accessing and affording these specialty drugs and requires the skills of a specialty pharmacy to support the patients and providers. In an integrated care model, there is also a growing need for attention to medication adherence and monitoring for side effects by these pharmacists. Chelsey explains, "Shields is considered a specialty pharmacy integrator. We partner with health systems across the country to help them operate best-in-class specialty pharmacy programs. We are focused on improving patient outcomes through specialized pharmacy services and supporting the optimized use of specialty medications through navigation of access, care coordination, and comprehensive medication management. So those are three of the big services Shields offers as a company." "I would say that the number one component that these oral oncology medications offer is a level of patient convenience and maintenance of their quality of life. Because what was a cancer diagnosis 20 years ago meant they were going to have to come to the health center or be admitted to the hospital to receive their treatment. Whereas now, when a patient might be faced with a certain cancer diagnosis, they will be managing it like a chronic condition. They can stay at home, they can stay with their families. They can do all of those things that they want to do that help support that quality of life as they're going through active cancer treatment. And so with that certainly comes, I think, a level of popularity. And I think the pharmaceutical companies certainly would be incentivized to continue the research in this area and the development of these agents." #ShieldsHealthSolutions #IntegratedCareModel #SpecialtyPharmacy #CancerTreatment #MedicationAdherence shieldshealthsolutions.com Listen to the podcast here

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Melody Hartzler to dig deep into the metabolic storm affecting so many today. We're talking insulin resistance, gut dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies—and how functional medicine can actually turn the tide. Dr. Hartzler brings the data, the real-world insights, and the solutions most aren't talking about. From the hidden dangers of common meds like statins to the underrated power of zinc, magnesium, and gut health, this conversation is packed with takeaways you can apply right away. If you're a practitioner, a health-conscious individual, or someone simply looking to understand how to fight back against metabolic disease—this one's for you. Let's uncover the root causes. Let's challenge the norm. And let's take real steps toward better health. Key Takeaways: Less than 7% of Americans are metabolically healthy, highlighting a critical national health crisis. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by factors such as abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, and elevated fasting glucose. The gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in metabolic health, with antibiotics posing a risk to gut diversity. CoQ10 supplementation is crucial for those on statins to prevent mitochondrial damage and related muscle pain. Continuous glucose monitoring can provide detailed insights into blood sugar fluctuations, offering a more comprehensive picture than traditional tests alone.

Every day, in many communities without enough resources, millions suffer from blindness that could be prevented. A lack of proper eye care, old training methods, and few modern tools leave many in the dark. In places where a simple cataract surgery could bring back both sight and hope, big challenges and a shortage of new ideas block the way. Inspired by these problems, an amazing journey spans continents and changes lives. Born in a small town in Virginia, Dr. Hunter Cherwek—Vice President, Clinical Services and Technologies at Orbis International—took a path from the halls of Duke and Emory Universities to remote parts of the world. What began as a simple interest in medicine grew into a strong promise to end preventable blindness. A life-changing experience in Kenya set him on a course that reshaped his mission in eye care and pushed him to find better solutions for communities in need. Dr. Cherwek is a well-known eye doctor and he is also a visionary who mixes the latest technology with a deep passion for teaching. His work at Orbis International, especially on the famous Flying Eye Hospital, has helped perform surgeries that restore sight in over 20 countries. He also created a prize-winning online learning and remote care program that supports health workers around the world. His six years as Medical Director of Strategic Markets in Beijing show his steady drive to change old ways and bring better eye care all over the world. In this episode, Dr. Cherwek explains how a lucky scholarship and early global experiences shaped his promise to end preventable blindness, the challenges of providing modern eye care in low-resource areas, and how using tools like remote care and training simulations can change how we teach and treat patients. Here is our conversation.
