EP41: Bringing the Washington, DC Healthcare Policy Experience to Quinnipiac University

MelissaBPhD's podcast

Bringing the Washington, DC Healthcare Policy Experience to Quinnipiac University “A critical part of that has to be understanding how policies develop and the implications that both national and state policies have on the ability to deliver high-quality care.”— Dr. Matthew O’Connor, Dean & Professor of Finance According to statistics, all Boomers will turn 65 by 2030. This will be about 20% of the American population, approximately 70 million Americans. It's estimated that we will need at least 3.5 million additional health care professionals and triple the number of direct care workers. It's going to create a crisis in staffing and health care.  Part One of ‘Bringing the Washington, DC Healthcare Policy Experience to Quinnipiac University’ The Institute of Medicine Landmark report for an aging America on building the healthcare workforce stated that unless action is taken immediately, the healthcare workforce will lack the capacity in both size and ability to meet the needs of older patients in the future. NAS calls it a crisis.  This is why the training of healthcare leaders, particularly in aging policy, is critical to developing good leadership and strategies that can help them understand how the organization needs to function in a very high-quality environment.  Another component is that they must understand what goes on in D.C. and how it impacts the delivery system. Such as how providers are reimbursed, how quality is measured, how money is appropriated for NIH research programs. And, it’s important to show appreciation towards the medical professionals and social workers who are “in the trenches”. They have a practical perspective on how things are being done. “There has to be an appreciation of the medical professionals, what the social workers bring to the table, and how they think that we need to work more as a team.” — Angela S. Mattie, Esq., MPH Therefore, given the aging demographic and the lack of providers to take care of these people, there is a need to train graduate students and practitioners on health policy and how things impact their business. As well as to show appreciation towards what the social workers are bringing to the table. When you think about health care organizations, there are two critical areas. There's the clinical care that's provided. That's the front and center. All clinical care is provided within an organizational framework. And those organizations have to function well. They have to be able to execute on tasks. And, then there is the management vs leadership. They have to be able to have good management policies and good quality control.  Part Two of ‘Bringing the Washington, DC Healthcare Policy Experience to Quinnipiac University’ According to Professor Mattie, there are four pillars of training: First:  We need an interdisciplinary approach to health care. We have a med school, a law school, a school of nursing, a health science program with multiple disciplines, the health care coverage in our school of communication, healthcare analytics, coverage in our College of Arts and Sciences, and an engineering school that's also interested in how they can contribute broadly in the area of health care.  Second: Healthcare leaders need business skills and business students need a deep understanding of healthcare specific to each discipline.  Third: COVID has shown us that we need to train healthcare providers to have crisis management skills. How to set up field hospitals, train staff and take care of patients and plan. This won’t be our own …leadership skills and soft skills like emotional intelligence. Fourth: And to teach students how federal and state policies impact our communities and our health.  And how to partner with those in the field to have access to the expertise in the field in order to do this. “Universities can contribute to training the next generation of healthcare leaders with an interdisciplinary focus.” —  Angela S. Mattie, Esq., MPH For any students interested, Quinnipiac University has an MBA program that allows a concentration in health care management, and they have a degree in organizational leadership that has a concentration in health care. Quinnipiac has a business analytics program that has health care analytics courses as well. We are experiencing phenomenal and very rapid changes in everything from artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, and even wearable technologies that will impact healthcare. — Dr. Matthew O’Connor, Dean and Professor of Finance The role and future of technology are also critical areas that healthcare leaders will need to understand when they get out into practice.  Professor Mattie was a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow for the US Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee in 2000-2001. So, what was different in this Fellowship with a placement in the House, and how did the pandemic impact the fellowship? Angela completed her RWJF Health Policy Fellowship during the 9/11 terrorist attacks - and during her Health and Aging Policy Fellowship, we have experienced our first pandemic. One of the key things that she worked on as a Fellow was patient safety legislation for good reasons.  Professor Mattie’s father was a victim of a patient safety event. She remained silent about her story despite many years of working with the health care community, thinking it might impact her relationships with others. And the moment she decided to step up and shared it recently, she saw the difference it made to many people’s lives to share her story. The importance of advocacy and telling your story can’t be underscored enough.  As a result, she met a lot of constituents over ground funding for various diseases. Angela remembers one particular group that came in from cystic fibrosis with the lobbyists and various people from the advocacy organizations. They also came in with two moms with the same case. One of the mothers brought a Russian stacking doll with her. Each one of the dolls were episodes that her poor daughter had gone through such as the cost of the episodes. Including hospital admission, 10 day stay, her ventilator, and medicine costs. This was a powerful visual to see.  On another note, The Health and Aging Policy Fellowship has greatly impacted Professor Mattie’s next career steps. She is truly honored and privileged to be a Quinnipiac University (QU) Albert Schweitzer Fellowship recipient this year, which allows her to continue her work. The institute was established to introduce Schweitzer's philosophy, a preference for life to a broader audience. What better way to do that than help bring policy and aging policy to our Quinnipiac community!  Together with Dr. O’Connor, they’re going to establish this health care policy immersion program with a focus on an interdisciplinary team of students and also looking toward individuals who have the ability to make a positive impact on health policy development. So, paying it forward and also developing those that might have an interest in engaging policy or policy in general.  Again, for any students interested, Quinnipiac University has an MBA program that allows a concentration in health care management, and they have a degree in organizational leadership that has a concentration in health care. Quinnipiac has a business analytics program that has health care analytics courses as well. About Dr. Matthew O’Connor Dr. Matthew O’Connor is Dean and Professor of Finance in the School of Business at Quinnipiac University.

Mental Health issues are not on the rise- rather it is the mismanagement of mental health that is increasing.  In this episode I discuss why the current mental health system is failing to help people, and what we can do about this. I also discuss psychotropic medication, and how fo find healing if you struggle with mental ill-health. This is the second podcast in my Perfect You series.  **This is informative and NOT individual medical advice. **DRUG WITHDRAWAL should ALWAYS be done under the supervision of a qualified professional. These drugs alter your brain chemistry, and withdrawal can be a difficult process. There are thousands of patient-run sites on withdrawal from psychoactive substances on the Internet, and many books available in stores and online. We suggest you begin looking at the resources page on Mad in America. Dr. Peter Breggin also has a brilliant book on withdrawal: https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/ **For general information on the current state of psychiatry please visit http://www.madinamerica.com.  **To report any adverse psychotropic drug effects you have experienced, and for more detailed individual drug information, please visit https://rxisk.org/ Additional Resources: https://drleaf.com/blog/ http://podcast.drleaf.com/e/episode-37-the-dangers-of-psychotropic-medications-with-dr-peter-breggin/   https://breggin.com The SWITCH app is coming to iTunes and Google Play early 2019!!
