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. 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 Download the transcript 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.

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.

Dr. Henry emphasizes the importance of tailoring care to each patient's needs while adhering to guiding principles, rather than rigid procedures, for consistent and effective management. With decades of research and clinical experience, Dr. Henry highlights the critical role of patient education, outcome measures, and collaboration among clinicians.

Despite decades of government investment, significant research endeavour, and a growing commitment to mental health training and response activities in schools and workplaces, rates of mental health in Australia are rising. The scale of this issue is staggering: a recent report shows that 494,000 Australians with moderate to severe mental health problems are not receiving the support they desperately need. Long wait times and a shortage of mental health professionals are leaving vulnerable Australians without access to timely and appropriate care, particularly those in rural and remote areas. When people finally get care, it doesn't always help. We know the current system is broken. We know what we need – a robust mental health system that is well-staffed, adequately funded and integrated across the country that will lay the foundations for a mentally healthier future. But how do we get there? How do we plan for a better future? And what is the role of Health Professionals? Listen to our Mental Health Month edition of Expert Insights were Black Dog Institute's Dr Peter Baldwin, Senior Research Fellow and Policy Research Manager, will share findings from BDI's recent mental health poll and discuss the key issues facing the health sector.   Panel Members: -Dr Peter Baldwin - Senior Research Fellow and Policy Research Manager, Black Dog InstituteDr Laura Kampel - Head of Clinical Services and Senior Clinical Psychologist, Black Dog InstituteMatt - Lived Experience Representative Facilitator: -Dr Sarah Barker - Clinical Psychologist

As occupational therapists, many of us have witnessed the wonder of motor learning in neuro rehab. Yet despite years of research attempting to identify the most effective post-stroke interventions, the reality is that our understanding of how to improve recovery of function remains incomplete. The article we are reviewing today serves as an update on the state of the science in how new theories of motor control and learning can be incorporated into practice. The authors put particular emphasis on how new technologies may be needed to truly meet the many principles of neuroplasticity, and in particular they point to virtual, augment, and mixed reality technologies. After we review the research, we are excited to welcome to the podcast an OT who works for one such virtual rehab solution as their Manager of Clinical Services, Katie Riccio, MS, OTR/L. Katie will share what she has learned about neurorehab in her role. And orient us to the stroke rehab tech tools on the market, how they can intersect with you in-person practice—and what to expect on the horizon.You can find more details on this course here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-courses/motor-learning-in-neuro-rehabHere's the primary research we are discussing:Motor Learning in Neurological RehabilitationSupport the show

We've learned quite a bit on Raise the Line about the growing trend of providing medical care in the home, particularly as it relates to services enabled by advances in remote monitoring technologies. In this episode, we're adding to that base of knowledge by focusing on what's happening with in-home physical therapy services. Our guide will be Palak Shah, PT, the co-founder and head of clinical services at Luna, a leading provider of in-home physical therapy that has completed one million patient visits in twenty-eight states since its founding in 2019. “Our patients appreciate this option so much because there are so many hurdles to access -- time constraints, ability to come to a clinic, the cost of travel, the dependency on family and caregivers -- and Luna eliminates all of that,” Shah tells host Michael Carrese.  The company has also focused on convenience for its 3,000 licensed providers through developing an app that integrates documentation, care coordination, billing, scheduling and other administrative tasks. But can you actually provide high-quality care for a full range of patient needs in what might often be small spaces? Based on data from its patient population in Southern California, Shah says Luna found that 87% of people can be seen in the home because large pieces of equipment are not needed to provide the required treatments. Tune in to learn how the services are paid for, how the system works for the hospitals and practice groups the company partners with, and what Luna's providers say about working in the home environment.Mentioned in this episode: Luna

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Christopher O'Reilly says it's a mistake to think that we can just understand our way out of trauma. But he claims that healing—once we understand how to receive it—can bring intimacy and connection with other human beings in a way we might never know without those challenges.After surviving his own struggles with substance use, Christopher should know. When he discovered the power of mindfulness meditation to examine his own choices and motivations, Christopher chose the path of change. He has spent the past 20 years helping others do the same.After earning his master's degree, Christopher pursued certification in multiple forms of trauma and addiction counseling. He teaches mindfulness-based stress reduction classes at Brown University, but the center of his professional life is serving as Vice President of Clinical Services at Onsite's residential trauma treatment program, Milestones.In this episode, Christopher and I discuss the anxiety and trauma of parents who have kids misusing substances, why our children can be reluctant to talk about their own anxiety and trauma, and why substance use is sometimes their best option – for a while.EPISODE RESOURCES:Milestones websiteOnsite websiteThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsLearn about The Woods, our private online community for dadsFind us on Instagram: @hopestreamcommunityDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.
