Podcasts about electronic medical records

A wonderful meandering chat with Ketan Badani (Urologist, Mt Sinai, NYC)! We took him for a wine tour in the Yarra Valley, stopping for a pod chat at Rochford Winery about screening for prostate cancer in older men, plus a great tour around Healesviile Sanctuary to introduce Ketan to some Australian wildlife. Then back in Melbourne we had another chat, this time a bit of future-gazing about the future of surgery, and Declan and Ketan trade tales about EMR (that's Electronic Medical Record) delinquency. Ketan was visiting Melbourne as a guest of Device Technologies to speak at the Epworth Healthcare Robotic Urology Masterclass. And what a great guest he was! With your usual hosts Renu Eapen and Declan Murphy. Thanks to our fantastic guide Trish at Healesville Sanctuary, and Beatrice who looked after us at Rochford Winery.This one much better enjoyed on our YouTube channel!Links:Rochford Winery Healesville Sanctuary

Manifesto: - Augment Human Learning with Machine Learning: Especially for social good. - Utilize Unconventional Approaches to Complex Problems: Develop simple solutions. While these two ideas may seem disparate, they are interdependent. Humans often hold false notions about the world and encounter misinformation, yet we excel in learning within noisy environments. Augmenting human learning with machine learning requires a deeper understanding of learning in such environments. Across healthcare, agriculture, politics, economics, and transportation, our future as a species relies on the increasing synergy between machine learning and human learning. It is paramount that we develop tools to handle real-world uncertainty while ensuring our advancements in machine intelligence are directed toward social good.

Jeff Kessler, FACHE Allergy Choices This week I sit down with Jeff Kessler to discuss allergies and sublingual immune therapy. Jeff Kessler is a business leader and a thought leader in the allergy therapy space. His relevant backstory goes back to 1999 when he had the fortunate opportunity to work on a project to select and implement an Electronic Medical Record system for the Allergy Associates of La Crosse (AAOL) clinic in La Crosse WI. Fortuitously for his daughter who at the time suffered profoundly with allergies, asthma and eczema, this opportunity presented a new course of therapy that would eventually be taken for the entire family leading to allergic disease modification. Enthralled with the therapy and company, Jeff dedicated his career in the healthcare industry from that point on to the allergy treatment approach that he witnessed change thousands of lives including his families. The growing AAOL organization became linked to Allergychoices, an education company dedicated to teaching healthcare providers around the U.S. on the protocol (La Crosse Method - LCM) that had been perfected since 1970. Jeff has served as President of Allergychoices since its formation and its services have grown to help providers deliver immunotherapy using the LCM to their patients directly at the primary care level. Bringing together AAOL, the most advanced allergy immunotherapy clinic in the U.S. and Allergychoices, capable of delivering the benefits of disease modifying allergy immunotherapy to anyone, anywhere, the distinctive competencies of these companies continue to help hundreds of thousands of allergy sufferers of all types, including foods. Jeff earned a bachelors in science from the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse before he received his MBA in Strategic Planning from University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management in 1987. Please enjoy my conversation with Jeff Kessler, Dr. M

Today we're covering a topic that can transform the efficiency and effectiveness of your clinic: tech add-ons for your Electronic Medical Records system. When we select an EMR, we frequently assume that it will handle everything for us. And, as we “move in” and start to really use the product, we can identify some things it doesn't do.For this episode, we've drawn from some of the best-selling add-on products on the AthenaOne Marketplace, although most of these products integrate with multiple different EMR platforms. We'll be discussing their costs, benefits, and sharing case studies to highlight their best uses across various subspecialties. And, we should note that we don't have commercial relationships with any of these companies, they simply came up on our web search of best in class products. We hope that you'll find this thought provoking as you consider the functionality that is available out there today to enhance your EMR.

Healthcare practices are ready for innovative solutions with modern technology paving the way forward. Host Dr. Lara Salyer delves into how holistic practices can benefit from smarter, technology-driven solutions with Kristen Ford, CEO and co-founder of Holistic Office. Kristen, with her solid background in finance, accounting, and operations, brings critical insights to the table for any independent medical practice looking to evolve.   Their conversation centers around  “My Holistic Office," an app designed by Kristen to meet the specific needs of holistic healthcare practitioners. Drawing from her extensive experience, Ford developed this Electronic Medical Record system to help practices manage their operations seamlessly, while staying true to their holistic roots. From inventory management to scheduling, each feature is designed to simplify the day-to-day operations.   Kristen and Dr. Lara tackle the practicalities of integrating new technology into existing practices by pointing out the straightforward setup and personalized onboarding support that My Holistic Office offers. The system's integration with Zoom for telehealth sessions, Rupa Health for lab integration, and the newly added payment processing are highlighted as key benefits. Looking ahead, Kristen expressed enthusiasm for incorporating artificial intelligence to further ease practice management as Dr. Lara shares her hopes for features that could improve patient communication and help manage expectations.   Quotes • "I could have built an app for accounting professionals, for finance professionals, for operations professionals, but I really chose the folks who I feel are making the biggest difference in the world. And I mean that sincerely because it's been a big difference for me personally and for my family working with holistic healthcare providers. And I just wanted to support them because I know what it's like to run a small business." (04:50 | Kristen Ford)  • "What I try to do with Holistic Office is to, first of all, make it really easy to use. I feel like if you didn't have to be searching around to do basic things like find a patient, I'm not doing my job, you know. And so I really am trying to bring as many of the facets of running a practice under one umbrella that are easy to use." (07:54 | Kristen Ford)  • “With some of the older EHRs, it is a big deal to take old technology and completely bring it up to today's standards.” (15:49 | Kristen Ford) • "Our app's dashboard is designed to be kind of an all-in-one glance at what's going on in your world today. So any tasks that are outstanding are right there. Your schedule for today is right there. And then very easy to see boxes where it's like, here's patients, here's my products, here's the forms, here's reports, so that you can very easily start working on your day. There's no searching." (20:38 | Kristen Ford) • "I think incorporating AI is definitely at the top of the list because it can do so many things." (26:36 | Kristen Ford) • "Medicine has changed in my mind because it's not just conventional or allopathic. You can heal from so many different places. And I think that's where we're all trying to show patients that there are many ways to peel that orange, right? And you don't need to get your healing inside an exam room and the one-on-one visit." (33:07 | Lara Salyer)  • "When people want you, they will pay for your services, they will be there, they will make time for it, and they will prioritize that healing. And that's not to shame the other patients that are busy and have other things they're doing, but that's okay, too. You know, you do what you can. And providing that ecosystem of support is what it's all about."

In this episode, we talk with us about improving dietitian productivity through effective electronic medical records platforms. Val Chudzinski, MA, RD, LDN, CNSC, is a Clinical Nutrition Manager with 9+ years of leadership experience and over 15 years as a registered dietitian. She is passionate about informatics, specializing in EMR optimization, quality improvement, and team development. Currently, she serves as the Regional Clinical Nutrition Manager at Northwestern Medicine and is an active volunteer in the Nutrition Informatics Clinical Nutrition Manager and Dietitians in Nutrition Support DPGs. This episode is hosted by Christina M. Rollins, MBA, MS, RDN, LDN, FAND and was recorded on 12/5/23.

In 2021, federal rules from the 21st Century Cures Act mandated that most clinical notes be made available in real-time, online and free of charge to patients. This practice, commonly known as “open notes,” was a significant step towards enhancing medical information transparency–– a vital step in reinforcing trust in the provider-patient relationship. However, it also introduced complexities, raising questions as to what to include in the notes. “The ethical analysis does not always align with the legal analysis, and these are conversations that ethicists are aware of,” Steven Bondi, MD, JD, says. Dr. Bondi, a lawyer turned doctor, is renowned for his expertise on the Cures Act, Open Notes and Electronic Medical Records. He specializes in pediatric medicine at Golisano Children's Hospital and is an associate professor within the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Rochester Medical Center. “I think that knowledge is important, and we need to know what the law says and what its parameters are and when we can use the exceptions,” Dr. Bondi says. Dr. Bondi recommends multiple resources on this topic. He suggests visiting healthit.gov and navigating to their information blocking section for informative FAQs and webinars. He also recommends the Guttmacher Institute as a source for general knowledge around adolescent health and privacy. Lastly, he explains that he was recently a part of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on medical liability and risk management where he helped produce a monthly column called ‘Pediatricians in Law.'

Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could -every day-  fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation-- this is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— The Democrats, you know the ones that keep saying they will never come after your guns and they support the 2nd Amendment—well here they come again, to turn gun owners into criminals—and yes, take your guns—   Number Two— A shocking new poll finds that 20% of Americans that were asked—now admit that they broke the rules and sometimes the law when they voted in 2020—so is that rigged? Sounds that way!   Number Three— You are being watched like you have never been watched before—and its happening at a rate that might even surprise the people who have accepted for a long time that we are under the constant eye of the government—   It all began with the Patriot Act following 9-11, and at the time, I was like a lot of you—I supported the idea of being able to go after terrorists—BUT I was naïve—I bought the lies that it would never be used on us—when in fact it is absolutely being used on us and it has been from day 1—   In fact, I can tell you it was going on long before 9-11—but that gave them the ability to move forward without anyone saying much for several years anyhow—   Almost a dozen years ago the Washington Post reported that in April of 2012—there were, get this, 3,984 federal, state and local organizations working on DOMESTIC counter-terrorism—that's right more than a decade ago the number of people trying to see what you were up to—was almost 4,000 and it has increased daily ever since—   And who is on the list of those spying on you every minute of every day?   The National Security Agency of course—the NSA, even though we are told they aren't supposed to; collects billions of emails, text messages and phone calls every single day—and is upgrading so it can sift through billions more—to see what it is you're up to at 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning—   Big Brother knows—and so do all of his brothers, sisters, cousins uncles and friends—   The FBI National Security Branch Analysis Center—or N-SAC had more than 1.5 billion government and private sector records about American citizens back then—   Want to hazard a guess as to how many it has now?   Of course you know—BUT it has been confirmed by the likes of the ACLU and the New York Times—that just by having a cell phone in your possession means you are being tracked in real time—all the time—and soon that may well become mandatory—I mean with more than 300 million smart phones and hundred of thousands of towers—that is a lot of coverage that they will demand to use—   65 million of us have fingerprints on file—140 million have fingerprints, pictures and biographical information in the system—   Is this you? Its me—I have been through background checks to interview the President of the United States—they have a full file on me—that I can guarantee—   And what I've outlined is really just the beginning—because if you talk to Alexa—then you're having a conversation with one of about 50 billion—that's right 50 billion machines that are connected now to the “system”—   Shocking—BUT the so-called internet of things is keeping track of you right down to what you watch on TV, what you ordered for lunch, what you laughed at cried at and yelled at during the course of the day—and it keeps records of this day after day—week after week and year after year—   You know the bureau of future crime sounds less and less science fiction—and more like science fact all of the time—   Now, you may not be on the Governments watch list or in its crosshairs—BUT you are certainly on its radar—we all are—   I mean let me ask a few questions if you don't mind—   Are you taking prescription medications or have you at any time in the last decade? Well congratulations the move to Electronic Medical Records back then—means you are in the system and don't worry, Hippa won't protect you one little bit—   Have you or anyone related to you—bought—and more importantly used a home DNA test and then sent it back? I mean how many true crime shows do you have to see where the killer is tracked down using that information that was given to the world voluntarily?   I can almost guarantee if you left the house today—and went just about anywhere—you walked, biked or drive by a surveillance camera—and likely a whole swarm of them—   If you have been on an airplane—pretty much anytime since 9-11; well, they got ya—and likely they got ya a whole bunch of times—   Ever been in the military? Been on food stamps? Have a criminal record for anything ever?  Been on welfare? Been hired or fired? Do you have a disability? And just exactly how much money do you have?   Of course, if you're one of the fringe right-wing zombies that tried to purchase a gun—well not only do they know that—and know exactly what you bought and took home—they know how much ammunition you bought then and since, for that gun and every other one too—so they can try to figure out how many rounds you have left at your disposal—   And if they don't have record of your gun—BUT you bought a certain kind of ammunition—well then, they know you bought a gun privately too now don't they?   If you buy hunting and fishing licenses—they can begin to evaluate your proficiency—and because most states are now requiring you to check in the animals you kill and sometimes the fish that you catch under the guise of conservation—well they get a pretty good idea if you're any good at it—   That is pretty handy information—can this guy shoot a gun and can he provide for himself if we try to order him to eat crickets—this is information they use—and cross reference—and build an ever more complete file on you—and the people around you—   They know what you eat, what you watch, what you drive, what you talk about; yes they are listening—through the phone, the TV, the computer—and probably about ten other things depending on what you brought into the house— I mean those home security cameras and webcams seemed to be very wise and very convenient—well the government thinks so too and thanks you for being such a loyal customer—   Of course we haven't even touched on social media—and all the things we put out to the electric world— who we like, dislike, admire and detest—   Think about how much information you have shoveled to the world—so they can now submerge it in A-I—to predict what you are going to do next—   Maybe you are a gun owner and a Catholic—I mean that is almost a lock that you are a domestic terrorist—and will certainly need to be dealt with at some point—   Even those that shy away from all this high-tech stuff have profiles the people in the shadows can review—I mean if Bob was in the army and is elderly, they know that—if he goes to the doctor and has insomnia and is incontinent—they know that—and if he has a propensity to look at pornography on-line from time to time—they know that too—   And for those of us—using these devices—they know more about you—than you probably do—they can make assumptions and predictions--  and remember—information is the ultimate power—and don't think for a second they are not willing to use it when it suits them best—   Remember—they have been doing this since the 1980's—maybe earlier—BUT they really started getting good at it in the 1990's and have been perfecting it ever since—   And then the government co-opted all the private companies to turn over hundreds of billions of files too; Google, Facebook, Twitter, Verizon and AT and T—among just the first ones to come to mind—and now they are dumping your information into the system too—   There really is no reason at all for the government—or private companies or both to have the kind of information they have—unless they intend to do something with it—and from where I stand—I just don't think anything good comes from any of this—BUT I will be honest—I don't have a single idea on what can be done about it—   That horse left the barn a long time ago—I know because he has a cell phone and I can tell you exactly where he is, right now!   Ok—   So, lets try to keep our heads on straight and talk about some other things too—   Lets talk about the border—and the intentional flooding of illegal aliens into our country—that is going on every single day—   And you know what's really weird about that? While they compile extensive profiles on every one of us—they don't seem to care at all about who is coming into the country illegally every single day—

In the second part of our series on the Future of Primary Care, we shift our focus to the coming age of AI. How has tech reshaped the daily lives of PCPs? What's coming, and will it help or hurt patient communications? And, how will tech help primary care continue to save lives and prevent disease? Tune in for all these insights and more, straight from the mouth of a leading primary care physician: Dr. James Jarvis of Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.

In this episode of BS Free MD, Dr. Susan Landers, a retired neonatologist with over 35 years of experience, talks about her career and her book "So Many Babies". May, Tim and Dr. Landers discuss the challenges of burnout and overwhelm faced by women in the workplace, not just physicians. Dr. Landers shares her experience of getting to retirement and the struggle with burnout. She also talks about the rewarding aspects of practicing neonatology, and how she got to know patients and their families very well. After retiring, Dr. Landers wrote a book based on her NICU stories, "So Many Babies". About Susan Landers: Dr. Landers is a retired neonatologist who practiced in the NICU for thirty-four years. When she joined a practice of nine males in 1997 she slowly brought them into the modern medical world by changing schedules to be more family friendly, talking about coping with sick children, and proved the benefits of hiring other women physicians. Dr. Landers volunteered for the AAP and served on the Section on Breastfeeding's executive committee for six years. She took a slight detour in her career and worked as the medical director of the Mother's Milk Bank at Austin and joined the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. After she retired she wrote a memoir, “So Many Babies.” Are there any specific questions/talking points you would like to include?: What is a family friendly medical practice? How do women physicians accommodate breastfeeding after return to work? How do women physicians handle the demands of medical practice and burnout differently from men? Links!

In this episode of eCW podcast Dr. Seth Eaton from MedPeds in Laurel, Maryland, discusses the adoption of version 12 of eClinicalWorks Electronic Medical Records. The upgrade to version 12 was browser-based and a major cultural shift from the desktop version earlier. Some of the new features that have had the biggest impact on productivity are better-managed order sets and macros, and easier ways of communicating with patients through messenger, web, and text. The transition to version 12 not only brought about positive changes in billing but also took advantage of the educational components of the National Conference.

Digital transformation has never been quick or simple. When it comes to creating digital medical records, the process can seem extremely daunting with complex regulatory compliance and security mandates. Do we need a unified electronic medical record system? Why is it so hard to share information among hospitals (01:52)? / Why are some capable people reluctant to lead (27:53)? / Motivational Monday (46:47)! On the show: Heyang, Huang Shan & Fei Fei

Lay of The Land's conversation today is with Adam Fleischer — President of Cleveland's Entrepreneurs' Organization and founder & co-owner of The Wine Spot here in Cleveland Heights.A proud product of Cleveland, Adam joined the United States Air Force just after graduating from Cleveland Heights High School and spent four years on active duty as a medic. After relocating back to Cleveland to attend Cleveland State University, Adam got a job at a local hospital's inpatient pharmacy, where he began implementation of one of the first clinical information systems (also known as an Electronic Medical Record) in the country — with that experience, Adam was hired on by the company, Cerner Corporation, which was recently purchased by Oracle. After 20 years of experience in corporate America, he decided to focus his energy on his passions — the Cleveland community, and wine!Adam and his wife Susan followed their dream of owning their own business and being entrepreneurs by opening The Wine Spot in Cleveland Heights on December 16, 2011. From the onset, they wanted to be part of the local food and beverage community and began partnering with like-minded entrepreneurs like: Restless Coffee, Brew Nuts, Mister Brisket, many local micro-breweries, and artists to create a relaxing destination where all feel welcome and can enjoy the fines wines, craft beer, and cocktails.In addition, Adam is active in the community as the creator and co-creator of The Heights Music Hop, The Cleveland Heights Happy 5K and 10K, 46 and 2 Brewing Cold Brewed Coffee now part of Six Shooter Coffee, Bitcoin Boulevard USA, and The Wine Spot Salami.It was a lot of fun to hear about Adam's journey to entrepreneurship, the work he's doing at the Wine Spot, and understanding the role of EO — the Entrepreneur's Organization — which we've heard mentioned many times throughout Lay of The Land but are finally making the space to talk about specifically today!

We talk to Tracie Risling, an associate professor in the University of Calgary's faculty of nursing, about calls for more Canadians to be able to access their own health records electronically.

What do doctors actually do? Are they Sherlockian detectives, hunting down obscure clues to solve intractable cases? Are they virtuosic experts, training for half a lifetime to bring the latest science to bear to cure disease? Or are they clerks, whose main job is to collect and enter data into the electronic health record? In this episode, Adam is joined by medical and cultural historians Lakshmi Krishnan and Mike Neuss to discuss the stories we tell about our own work – and how this often conflicts with the realities of clinical practice.

Troy Bannister is the CEO of Particle Health, a company that is shaping the new standard for healthcare data exchange with a user-friendly application programming interface platform. After spending years in the healthcare industry as an EMT, clinical researcher, and medical student, he decided to attempt the seemingly insurmountable task of fixing the interoperability problem of electronic medical records. Particle Health gives application designers, and therefore patients, access to their records. You'll get a better understanding when he explains it. We talk about how he came up with the idea for Particle Health, the precedent in the financial industry that most of us use, how the interface works, and why blockchain isn't necessary for portability and security.

Federal agencies' electronic medical records are about to get a lot more interoperable with private sector health providers. Agencies like DoD and VA are already members of eHealth Exchange, the country's biggest health information exchange network. But they've now reached legal agreements that will let them start using a much broader health interoperability framework. That'll add another 20 networks to the federal interoperability picture. Alan Swenson is executive director of Carequality, the nonprofit that runs the framework. He talked with Federal News Network's Deputy Editor Jared Serbu.

Host Dr. John Sweetenham, of the UT Southwestern's Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Dr. Bridgette Thom, of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discuss a novel intervention to address financial toxicity and social need using the Electronic Medical Record.   TRANSCRIPT Dr. John Sweetenham: Hello. I'm Dr. John Sweetenham, the associate director for clinical affairs at UT Southwestern Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center and host of the ASCO Daily News podcast. My guest today is Dr. Bridgette Thom, a researcher at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center. We'll be discussing a novel approach to address financial toxicity that uses the electronic medical record to streamline referrals to financial assistance and counseling for high-risk patients. Our full disclosures are available in the show notes, and disclosures of all guests on the podcast can be found on our transcripts at asco.org/podcasts. Dr. Thom, it's great to have you on the podcast today. Dr. Bridgette Thom: Thanks so much for having me. Dr. John Sweetenham: Dr. Thom, the high costs of cancer care have caused major financial distress for many patients and their families. And this, of course, has been the subject of a great deal of literature in recent years. As you noted in your poster presentation at the recent ASCO Annual Meeting, there are limited interventions, despite a need for patient level and system-based solutions (Abstract 6596). Listeners to our podcast will remember a previous discussion that we had with Dr. Derek Raghavan from the Levine Cancer Institute, where they had instituted financial toxicity grand rounds to partially address this problem. Can you tell us about the novel approach that you and your colleagues explored using the electronic medical record to streamline referrals for financial assistance and counseling? Dr. Bridgette Thom: I first have to credit our team for this work. Dr. Emeline Aviki, who is a gynecological surgical oncologist with keen interest in affordability and payment models, founded the MSK affordability working group several years ago. The first priority of the group was to determine the scope of financial hardship at our institution. At the time, we were absent a systematic screening process. So she, our data analysts, and representatives from our Patient Financial Services Program, developed proxy measures to figure out which patients might be having financial issues. Looking through the medical record, we found those patients who had used one of our Patient Financial Services assistance programs, those who had billing issues, and those who had been referred specifically to social work for a financial issue. And in doing so, we found out that about 25% of our patients over a 2-year period were facing some sort of financial issue. Looking closer at that data, patients experiencing financial hardship weren't necessarily being connected to the resources that we had available, which include copay assistance programs, financial assistance programs, and support for non-medical essential needs. So, for example, we had about 1 in 6 patients who had some sort of payment issue, but only about 20% of them had applied for financial assistance. And we wanted to figure out why this was happening and review the process. In doing so, we discovered that too much burden was being placed on already burdened social workers who had to triage all those issues. So Dr. Aviki in her wisdom realized that care providers, physicians, advanced practice providers (APP), nurses needed to make direct referrals to the resources that we had. So we had a place for patients to go, we just needed an easier mechanism for them to get there. And that was the birth of the financial toxicity order set. And she and her team really powered through the developmental and testing phases working with IT, our strategy administration groups, clinical end users, our PFS team, that's Patient Financial Services. We built this order set that allows clinicians directly to refer to our resources. So clinicians, either through their discussions with patients or if patients bring up an issue, through the order set they can select a reason for a referral, the urgency of referral, the clinical location, etc. And then those orders go directly to our Patient Financial Services staff who then contact patients. We piloted this program in late 2020, early 2021 on 1 service, and then used that feedback to roll out the program first to our outpatient clinics and then to inpatient. That process involved a lot of educational efforts, getting the word out, and working with IT and our strategy team to stay on top of the data and monitor referrals over time. Dr. John Sweetenham: Thanks. Could you say just a little bit more about the educational process that you use? I noticed in looking at your poster that the bulk of referrals came either from the clinic nurse or from the APP. Did you tailor your education in any way to the specific provider that was involved? How did you do that piece? Dr. Bridgette Thom: Our affordability working group is an interdisciplinary team and we have nurses, social workers, physicians. So we did a lot of grand rounds work tailored to the audience be it by disease type or clinical role. Dr. John Sweetenham: Great, thank you. This is clearly great work. There's a lot of useful and helpful information in your abstract and in your poster. What would you say are the key takeaways from the intervention? What would you say about the scalability of this approach into community practice as opposed to a very large institution such as yours? Dr. Bridgette Thom: One key takeaway from a process perspective was the need, like I said, for an interdisciplinary approach to handling the issues. That might seem obvious, but it was really crucial to the success of the project to engage key departmental stakeholders and decision makers very early in the process and keep them informed throughout the development of the order set. That definitely helped us to smooth a potentially bumpy road when we're dealing with big systems change. From an outcomes perspective, a key takeaway is the importance of having actionable items to empower the care providers. So while our institution has this amazing program, our Patient Financial Services program which provides counseling, and connects patients to tangible resources, this type of intervention I think could be scalable or applicable to a community practice or smaller hospital, provided there's somebody, a social worker, patient navigator, [or] nurse, that can be a connection for patients and those potential resources that do exist out there. For us going forward, we're going to continue to evaluate the order set, both from the clinical end user and then also the Patient Financial Services staff to learn more about their perspectives and what can be adapted in the order. We also, of course, want to learn from our patients about their experience with the process, and so we have projects, both research and program evaluation, in the works to consider their perspective. Dr. John Sweetenham: Great, thank you. And I guess 1 of the other aspects of this where there is obviously substantial opportunity is that, of course, currently, you're still reliant upon the provider to place the order. And I wonder whether you feel that some form of screening for social need and financial hardship could be embedded within the electronic health record as a key next step, so that you proactively identify those high-risk patients. Dr. Bridgette Thom: Definitely. And that is, in fact, our next step. We are currently piloting our financial hardship screening tool on 4 large services at our institution. The objective here is to, like you said, proactively identify patients who might be at risk and connect them to resources, be it tangible resources, or just counseling or insurance guidance, [and] do that before the hardship can occur. And the goals of our pilot phase are to (1) develop and refine a tool that's both predictive, but also feasible to administer within a busy clinic setting. And then also (2) to work with our interdisciplinary team to adapt the workflow. We can have a great tool, but if we don't have a way to administer it in a clinic, it's not going to do us any good. So for us, that means listening to feedback from, first and foremost, our patients and then the key stakeholders in the process. Our nurses have been integral to this process. We also, of course, our Patient Financial Services, staff, the clinical operations staff, obviously, IT, social work. And once we have these processes figured out and we have our tool solid, we will hopefully expand the screening to all services, and then use data to figure out the optimal screening interviews by disease and treatment type because we feel that this could vary by a patient's treatment trajectory. Dr. John Sweetenham: You note in your poster that additional multilevel interventions are needed to address the problem of financial toxicity at a systems level, and of course, what you have done here is a really great and important step in helping to identify those patients. But identifying those patients who are at particular risk is only beginning of addressing the issue. Could you elaborate a little bit more on other areas that you're exploring in terms of the interventions that you're using? Dr. Bridgette Thom: Sure. And this idea of multi-level interventions comes from my social work training, where there's an emphasis on viewing the individual as being part of a series of dynamic and interconnected relationships and systems: the social ecological theory. So if we think of concentric circles with the patient at the center, there are cascading relationships that are going to impact the course of their care. We radiate out to families and caregivers, a patient's workplace if they're employed, the hospital and the providers there, and then look to bigger systems where a patient lives, their town. If it's in an urban setting or a rural setting, the type of insurance that they have, if it comes from their employer, or if it's a different insurance system, their community and then of course, broader, social, societal, more macro issues. My point and that of many others who work in this space is that we have to consider the context. We can't just build and test interventions that focus on a patient because the patient isn't existing in a bubble. They're existing in relationships with their caregivers, their health care providers, their health care system. And all of that exists in, for lack of a better word, a broken system of structural inequality, systemic racism, and conflicting values about health care as a right. Patient-level interventions are indeed important, but we can't place the burden solely on the patient. And we, as researchers and clinicians in this space, really need solutions that are going to reach across systems. I think, like you said, this project demonstrates that and this is something that I hear from patients in other work that I'm doing. For example, I'm working on a digital intervention to help young adult cancer survivors to build their financial capability and build their understanding of the health care system and insurance systems and financing and all of that. As I co-develop this intervention with patients and survivors, I'm hearing, 'This is great. I'm glad I'm learning these things, but at the same time, my co-pays are unmanageable,' Or, 'I might have to skip my survivorship appointment because I can't afford to take off work that day.' I think we have to really think about, like I said, the context and the bigger picture of the scope of the problem and build and develop interventions that acknowledge that. Dr. John Sweetenham: Well, as you say, very complex, multi-level problem and many interventions needed. But congratulations and kudos to you and your colleagues for addressing one component of this. And we're really looking forward to seeing how this develops and progresses in the coming years. And I'd like to thank you, again, for sharing your insights with us today on the ASCO Daily News podcast and telling us a little bit more about this great work. Dr. Bridgette Thom: Thank you so much for having me. I want to just acknowledge all of the work of our team. It has really been a team effort. We're looking forward to our next steps.

The 21st Century Cures Act made it mandatory to release scans and lab results to patients as soon as they are ready. Often, this means that they get released to patients before their doctors have seen them. While JL and Mark believe that patients should own their data, there are many sensitive situations when patients receiving their information without full understanding or explanation can have devastating results.Tweet us your questions @jeanlucneptune or @marklewismd or email us at isitserious@offscrip.com or call us at 855-283-4666.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
