In the world of functional health, we frequently find ourselves standing on the uncomfortable edge of pioneering thought and “proven” mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. Oftentimes we're working with tools that are a long ways from being accepted by conventional healthcare and it can feel like we're working in the wild west. And yet, there is a substantial and growing body of research that supports the functional approach. That said, our relationship with research and the latest science isn't always an easy one. Just like with mainstream medicine, it can take some time for new findings to make their way into the functional clinical practice.    In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, we have a nuanced conversation on this extremely important topic with Dr. Jordan Robertson, a Canadian Naturopathic Doctor and founder of The Confident Clinician, a practice resource and database for Naturopathic Doctors to help elevate their professional practice by offering clinical practice guidelines, patient resources, and ongoing training for health professionals in the functional space.   In this interview, we discuss: How to navigate new, innovative approaches that get exceptional results in practice but that don't yet have substantive evidence.   When is it appropriate to lean on the research? And how do we continue to pioneer within that context?  Bias - how do we detect our own, that of the researchers, and how do we navigate this in the context of making clinical decisions for our clients?  How do we navigate the research itself - what is credible and what is not?  How and when should we change clinical practice based on new evidence? How much new evidence is necessary before we change our ways?    The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by Restorative Wellness Solutions.  Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/restorativewellnesssolutions/    Connect with Dr. Jordan Robertson:   Website: www.confidentclinicianclub.com  Instagram: @drjordannd and @theconfidentclinicianclub   The Confident Clinician is the first resource for clinicians of its kind. With a complete database and clinical decision-making tool built for integrative medicine clinicians, there's no more digging through studies on your own or wishing nutrition information was included in the major databases from the past.    You can get a sneak peek of the full power of The Confident Clinician by unlocking access to the AI search tool for 24 hours. You can ask any clinical question, ask it for an opinion on how to support a specific type of patient, or ask it to give you the best research for a supplement you'd like to use in practice.

Not only is Dr. Robertson is the founder of The Confident Clinician, she is also the founder of Clarity Health, a Naturopathic Clinic in Ontario, Canada that has served over 20,000 patients, a podcast host with ambitions of making accurate women's health information accessible to all, the off-site ND for the Endometriosis Clinic at McMaster hospital and instructor for the undergraduate Health Sciences program. And perhaps most importantly, Dr. Robertson is a fierce advocate for evidence-based approaches in functional health.    Dr. Jordan is changing the way Naturopathic Doctors practice and integrate in medicine, with the Confident Clinician currently supporting over 600 NDs in North America and worldwide. She could see all of the problems in her industry that were holding practitioners back and built the program to solve them.

We live in a country where medical experts are breaking barriers and changing outcomes on a daily basis, so it's always exciting when we get to celebrate one of our own. Recorded at the 2023 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference and Exhibition in Washington, D.C., this episode honors David Keller, MD, who was recently named the recipient of the 2023 AAP Job Lewis Smith Award. “I want to be a part of the solution to problems,” Dr. Keller says.   The award recognizes lifelong outstanding career achievement in community pediatrics and is the highest award bestowed by the council. Dr. Keller has dedicated more than 40 years to advancing child health and he currently serves as the Department of Pediatrics Vice Chair of Clinical Strategy and Transformation at Children's Hospital Colorado. “We as pediatricians need to remember that children always live in context. There is no such thing as an isolated child. They live in the context of their families, but they also live in the context of their communities. If we don't understand the communities that our kids live in, then it's really challenging to understand how illness interacts with that community and how you can intervene,” Dr. Keller says.  Some highlights from this episode include:   Dr. Keller's early career influences How he earned this prestigious award  How we learn more about the context of our patients  Advice for young doctors and medical professionals trying to make their own imprint  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org

Shelley Davis, MSN, RNC, CCM, is the VP of Clinical Strategy at Lightbeam Health Solutions expert in moving from the traditional fee-for-service model to a value-based care system. Working alongside providers, Lightbeam is identifying opportunities to provide education and better care to underserved communities with less administrative burden. As part of the ACO Reach model, providers must develop annual health equity plans to identify gaps in access for the most at-risk patients. Shelley explains, "We look at population health management as a way to identify patients, identify members, identify those at the greatest risk to fall through the gaps, those that have the most complex conditions. We offer solutions through patient and provider engagement tools, leveraging technology to be successful in value-based contracts. We are continuing to offer new services as we evolve as a company to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the next generation of value-based contracts."  "What we've done at Lightbeam and certainly other population health vendors are doing or should be doing is leveraging analytics, identifying those opportunities to surface those patients who are experiencing or those most at-risk members. Then developing initiatives around that, identifying those who are facing transportation barriers, those living in a food desert, those most likely to have utility instability. You can partner with a community-based organizations, you can develop organizational initiatives, and you can address educational gaps to make sure that they're getting the care that they deserve." #LightbeamHealthSolutions #PopHealth #PopulationHealth #ACOReach #CareDelivery #HealthEquity #RiskBearing #PatientOutcomes #SDoH #SocialDeterminantsofHealth lightbeamhealth.com Download the transcript here

As a NICU parent, one of the most difficult pieces of the journey is the physical separation that parents have to endure initially and each day that follows. Every time parents walk out of those NICU doors to go home without their baby is devastating. Parents are left sitting at home wondering if their baby is awake, or are they restless, did they gain weight, did they take their full bottle, or were they able to keep their ng tube out? The company AngelEye Health has developed state-of-the art technology to not only help ease the physical separation, but to also increase connectedness, communication, education, and support for NICU parents. For today's podcast, I sat down with Jaylee Hilliard, the Senior Director of Clinical Strategy at AngelEye Health. She shared the 4 different solutions AngelEye offers hospitals that work collectively to engage and support parents. Most prominently, AngelEye is known for their bedside Camera System that allows parents and friends and family 24 hours of livestream video access of the baby while they are in the NICU. Once parents are at home, they have the ability to get on the app and see their beautiful miracle whenever they would like. Additionally, grandparents who are not close by or siblings who are unable to visit due to visiting restrictions, all have the ability to log on and see the livestream video of the baby so they do not miss out on their journey.AngelEye also offers an educational platform for parents as well as the ability for NICU clinicians to message and communicate updates with the parents through the platform to keep them informed and engaged. Lastly, AngelEye offers a breastmilk tracker to help parents document pumping sessions as well as lactation resources. Continue listening to learn how Angel Eye helps to support parental engagement and family-centered care during the NICU journey and beyond and why Jaylee's passion for engaging and educating families has grown even more!
