Primary care practices are now distributing COVID vaccines. Plus, high housing costs, Gov. Scott in D.C., and COVID-19 numbers.

Gina DiPietro  0:06  When the COVID-19 vaccine first became available to the public, thousands of people rolled up their sleeves at Novant Health mass vaccination sites. Now, with greater supply of the vaccine and more flexibility, Novant Health patients have an opportunity to receive their vaccine at their medical home. You're listening to Novant Health Healthy Headlines, I'm Gina DiPietro. In this episode, John Howard, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Novant Health Physician Network, explains the shift away from mass vaccination sites and into Novant Health primary care and pediatric care clinics. Thank you for listening.John Howard  0:45  What we've seen in our mass vaccination sites is even with walking appointments is very low utilization relative to the cavernous space we have there. In the amount of inventory, we have a vaccine. In other words, the demand for the vaccine has dwindled, and it dwindled quickly. We really sort of hit a wall. And we recognize that in our communities for any number of reasons that vaccine hesitancy or vaccine reluctance was now the order of the day. Our transition to address that is to say, how do we work more closely with individual folks who are trying to overcome either questions or concerns, or maybe they've heard things that aren't exactly true about the efficacy or the safety of the vaccines. And we believe that the best place for that to take place is in a patient's medical home, our final pivot has been to move away from the vaccination sites, and now to be able to provide those vaccines and primary care clinics, Family Medicine clinics, internal medicine, clinics, and even our pediatric clinics for those who are eligible because it's not all kids yet, but it is adolescence, and to make sure that patients have the opportunity to talk with their physicians and the comfort of their medical home, in the comfort of that relationship between a patient and his or her provider to say, let me understand this, let me really understand why I should do this or what my issues might be, or if I have particular questions, I have a space a safe space to have those answers. And we believe now with vaccine hesitancy being the order of the day, that is the best way for us to serve our communities and make the vaccine available to people is connecting them back with their physicians or their family practitioners or their nurse practitioners who are available in their clinics.Gina DiPietro  2:45  As Hohn just mentioned, bringing the vaccine into clinics where it's administered by a trusted physician is a new opportunity to reach unvaccinated people. Dr. David Priest, Novant Health chief safety quality and Epidemiology officer, explains the impact he's seen firsthand.Dr. David Priest  3:03  It's that personal touch that really makes a difference. And I've seen that in my own practice. Individuals come in adamantly opposed to vaccination, and after addressing each of their concerns, they're willing to get it. There's so much information and misinformation that's been moved around the internet, you know, some patients just throw up their hands and say, I don't know what to believe and all this. That one on one conversation addressing concerns would provide a really makes a world of difference. Gina DiPietro  3:25  Gina here and back to my conversation with John Howard, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Novant. Health Physician Network. He said the end goal is to have the COVID-19 vaccine available in most if not all Novant Health Primary Care adult and pediatric care clinics by the end of the year.John Howard  3:43  So I think that creates a great opportunity to reach out into communities into local neighborhoods where we have clinics and say, Hey, here's a place where this is available. And we think it allows for an encounter that is more engaged with a patient's health, then all of the community sites where you could go to a Walgreens or CVS, not that those aren't very valuable resources as well. But you can't have the same dialogue, because that's not when your provider,Gina DiPietro  4:12  We've heard a lot about the variants that people are starting to notice. And we've also heard a lot about how people just aren't quite sure how long the efficacy lasts. What would be the implications from shifting more to this clinic model and distributing COVID vaccines. If a booster shot might be needed, I imagine that it would make it easier to distribute those?John Howard  4:37  The good news is is that the vaccines that we have available, still tend to be effective against the current variants in the marketplace. And the highest incidence of those variants are current and states and counties which have the lowest vaccination rates. So it's a good even common sense indicator and beyond. All the epidemiological studies that you can simply look at a map and see where that's occurring. The bad news portion is that as long as the virus has the ability to replicate, it has the ability to mutate, which means that the current Delta variant, for example, will very likely not be the last variant unless we take away the opportunity for the virus to continue to spread. And the way to do that is to encourage more vaccinations. Which brings me to the second part of your question is, when we think about boosters, long term efficacy, keeping the vaccine down, because in many ways, this really is a battle. It's a battle for the safety of our communities against a virus that has disrupted our lives in significant ways that there is not a person that hasn't felt this. It's sometimes very deep, and long lasting or permanent levels, even losing loved ones. So the way to fight that battle, is to make sure that we're creating this as a normal part of what we deal with mass vaccination sites in huge events and stadiums, or at arena's, which we certainly did, to accelerate that initial bush is not the way for us to continue to combat it. So whether it's been booster shots, or whether it's getting more people who have not yet received the vaccine to receive it, the best way to do that is to make that a part of our ordinary health care delivery. And so I do think the retail outlets such as Walgreens and CVS are valuable. But I also think the physician office is a valuable resource. And it's why we put so much effort in making sure we have clinics enrolled, and that we have physicians and other providers are willing to help us in delivering the vaccine. And when the boosters are needed, as we're still gaining evidence on what the what really the link of efficacy is for these vaccines, that we have the ability then to provide booster shots as needed, when that time comes and when it's appropriate. But we're not there yet. And I do want to make that clear. Boosters are not being recommended or delivered at this time.Gina DiPietro  7:10  Yes, certainly an important distinction there. And really, it just speaks to COVID taught us that we never really know what might happen. So to have different options where people can get vaccines is really important, because we may not be able to predict what happens next.John Howard  7:27  And that's exactly right. And to add to your point there, it's important to understand that as boosters become available, and as we need to do that Novant Health is fully prepared and at the ready to reactivate some mass sites, we need to if it's important, and there's a window to do that in, we're going to meet the needs of our community. We're going to make sure we're empowered to appropriately battle this virus and to make sure that we're successful, I think everyone today is enjoying the opening up again of our lives. And we need to make sure that we keep the virus on a teils so that we can continue to do that. And we don't see a resurgent virus affecting our lives and creating shutdowns as it's done in some other countries already. And that's our goal. As we're doing this work today.Gina DiPietro  8:16  Novant Health still has four mass vaccination sites across our markets. But hours have been reduced as you've seen some of the trends that you mentioned previously, where would be the best place for people to go to find those updated hours?John Howard  8:31  So on the NovantHealth.org website, we have our COVID-19 landing page. And that will always list our current hours and days of availability. So as we have shifted from long, seven to seven days to shorter hours, we are also reducing the number of days that are available for walking appointments with those mass vaccination sites. As we're doing that, you'll also see the list of clinics that people can contact for that availability. And they're also free, of course, to always reach out to their clinic or through my chart to say, Hey, I was wondering if you did vaccines, and if you're not doing to your clinic, is there one nearby because even if their home clinic is not doing it, there's very likely one nearby that will be able to service their needs.Gina DiPietro  9:15  Sure. So talk about that process. If someone's listening, and they think, hey, I'd like to see if my primary care physician or my pediatricians office offers this, that's the best place for them to go. And they do want to call ahead, they cannot walk into the clinics, correct?John Howard  9:32  At this time for walk ins that it's hard to plan and it's a bit disruptive. We want to make sure we have the right personnel there at the right time. So we're encouraging people to make appointments for those vaccines, but the full listing of the clinics that will be providing the vaccines will be always on our COVID-19 landing page on Novant health.org. So I would encourage people to go there to see what's there. If they say I don't see my clinic, then I encourage them to call their clinic or two Even check on a map because we have all the addresses listed and see what's nearby. And then they can call to schedule appointment. Or they can do that through My Chart, as well.Gina DiPietro  10:09  Great. Anything else around this topic that you think would be important for people to know?John Howard  10:16  I would just encourage people who have questions about the vaccine about what it means whether it's appropriate for them to get it and to get it now, whether they're concerns for waiting or for not getting it right. I know some people have had COVID and said, but I really don't need the vaccine. I think it's worth a discussion with their physician or provider to help them make the best decision for them. We want to respect everybody's decisions. But we also want to encourage them to be informed and to be able to be dialed into confidence that they have for their other health care decisions that they do their physicians and other providers.Gina DiPietro  10:59  Gina DiPietro here again.

This week our listener Raya asks, "How do I deal with a 4-year-old who is afraid to go to any doctor's office?" Doctors' offices are scary! There are shots, there's vulnerability, and there's an adult in charge who might be really intimidating to a little one. No kid is ever going to dance off to the pediatrician. The goal is to make your child's experience as manageable as possible– by communicating openly about why the visit is necessary, discussing what is going to happen during the visit, and placing a little emphasis on the reward (okay, you might call it a bribe) that your little one can look forward to for good behavior.

SEPTEMBER 19--While conducting a physical exam, a Florida nursing assistant “opened his mouth and placed it around" the penis of his patient, according to police who arrested the health care worker on a sexual battery charge. Investigators allege that Roger Cala Martin, 41, was examining the victim’s “bare genitals” when the battery took place around 9 PM Tuesday evening in the Clearwater office of Dr. Eduardo Palanca (seen below). The victim, cops say, was getting an annual physical when he was subjected to Martin’s “unprovoked and unsolicited” sexual contact. The man “immediately backed up and left the exam room, notified the doctor and called 911.” After being read his rights, Martin reportedly “admitted to placing his mouth on [the victim’s] penis,” cops say. Seen above, Martin was arrested by Clearwater Police Department officers on a felony sexual battery charge and booked into the county jail. He was released from custody yesterday morning after posting $10,000 bond. Martin has been licensed in Florida as a certified nursing assistant since 2010. His license is in the name “Roger Cala.” Martin’s home address is listed as a 4000-square-foot home owned and occupied by Palanca, a 56-year-old primary care physician.

What will the doctor's office of the future look like? In our continuing series on Why Cancer Research Needs Engineering, Stephen Boppart, Abel Bliss Professor of Engineering and Director of Imaging at Illinois, foresees more engineering and technology integrated into the doctor-patient relationship.

Deadly Consequences of Fat Stigma at the Doctor's Office with Laura Fraser Science Daily reported earlier this year that in a study of over 300 autopsy reports, obese patients were 1.65 times more likely than others to have significant undiagnosed medical conditions such as endocarditis, ischemic bowel disease or lung carcinoma. This week's featured guest is Laura Fraser. Laura is a journalist and author of Losing It, an investigative piece entailing her experience going under cover to take a deeper look at how the diet industry creates and exploits our weight worries (LauraFraser.com). A reformed dieter and ex-bulimic, Laura's already impassioned work strikes a deeper chord with the passing of her sister, Jan, last year to a cancer that was ignored by doctors and misdiagnosed as mere excessive weight. Laura takes me through the history of unrealistic body expectations for women as we explore her research and the relationship between big pharmaceutical companies and the mainstream diet industry."     "I wrote that book to just drive a tank through the diet industry. Its the only industry that's built on failure."  - Laura Fraser   This Week on the Every Body Podcast: A look at Laura Fraser's early life which led to her struggle with bulimia. How her own research helped shed some light on the truth about different body types and what positive health actually means. Her findings in Losing It which debunk the myths the diet industry is trying to shove down our throats. The misuse of the BMI and how mainstream researchers manipulate its categories to propel their products. The story behind Laura's sister whose misdiagnosed cancer led to her premature death last year.    Additional Resources: Original article about Jan, Laura's sister Food for the Heart article from Eating Well Magazine Losing It in the Anti-Dieting Age NY Times article by Taffy Brodesser-Akner Laura Fraser Website   Rate & Share Thank you for joining me this week on the Every Body podcast.

It's probably best if you just skip this description and go straight to the episode. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Some things are worth waiting for, and other's aren't, and you can't tell which is which until too late.

Today’s show is all about the future of YOUR healthcare. First, we have one of the most sought after industry experts in healthcare innovation, Murielle Thinard McLane, a former McKesson executive and now an executive in residence at GE Ventures in healthcare analytics. It is rare to see someone who has worked across the healthcare spectrum from the payor to pharma, supply chain and healthcare delivery. She knows how to spot product market fit and how to build and scale a commercial organization, which is why she is now helping startups to commercialize their healthcare products and services. During the show, McLane shares some of the biggest trends in healthcare and where the venture capital market is focused. She discusses the pharmaceutical industry and the issues stifling innovation, bringing new drugs to market, and creating competition to bring down prices. Did you know it takes about 12 years and more than $2 billion dollars, on average, to bring a drug to market? McLane also shares some of her favorite technologies on the cutting edge in diagnostics, including digital imaging startup Arterys, which incorporates artificial intelligence and cloud computing to create a more efficient and effective MRI. In the second half hour, it’s all about why the doctors office of the future feels more like an Apple store than a doctors office. Did you know that the future is here today in San Francisco for a 149 dollar per month membership? It’s called, “Forward.” It’s all about preventative medicine with body scanners, the most advanced digital stethoscopes, genetics testing, and blood tests that offer results in 12 minutes vs days. Adrian Aoun is the founder/CEO of Forward. He is a serial entrepreneur who’s first big hit was with Wavii, the natural language processing startup that Google bought years ago. A personal experience led him to focus now on creating the future of healthcare. He talks about taking a true patient-centric approach to building out what he considers the ultimate foundation for the future of healthcare. And it’s a subscription model with a monthly $149 fee, paid upfront for an annual membership. It’s separate from a patient’s own insurance for chronic and emergency care. The idea is to start getting people in before they’re sick and being able to get them on a healthy track so they don’t end up with debilitating diseases. During the show you’ll be fascinated to hear about the process his team took to developing some of the most advanced diagnostic technologies in preventative health for the primary care office.

Host: Maurice Pickard, MD Despite a 20-year presence of the Americans With Disabilities Act, are many American doctors unconsciously discriminating against a significant part of their medical practices on a regular basis? Joining Dr. Maurice Pickard to reflect on this question is Dr. Pauline Chen, transplant surgeon, regular contributor to the New York Times, and author of the book Final Exam: A Surgeon's Reflections on Mortality.

What makes a man? And are you a 98-pound weakling if you decide to go to the doctor when you have a cold? And is your answer to that last question different depending on whether you're black, white or Asian? We look at health, ideas of masculinity, and race, with Fordham psychologist Jay Wade.
