In this episode, Brian Gallagher sits down with Tom Cooley, founder of Go Card Connect, to uncover what's really behind the credit card fees PT owners pay every month. Tom has spent over a decade working exclusively in the physical therapy space, helping private practice owners understand where their processing costs come from, how to spot hidden fees, and what to look for in their merchant statements. Together, they reveal how small, unnoticed charges can add up to thousands each year—and how a simple merchant audit can uncover quick savings without disrupting your EMR or billing system.  

If you've ever felt like your EMR slows you down instead of scaling you up, this episode is for you. In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Podcast, Adam Robin sits down with Craig Brasington, Director of Revenue Operations at Stride EMR, to unpack the evolution of healthcare tech — and what the next generation of EMRs really means for practice owners. Craig shares his 20+ years of experience in outpatient therapy tech, from his early days as a founding member of Clinicient to his current work with Stride. Together, he and Adam explore how EMR systems have evolved from basic record-keeping tools to intelligent, AI-powered platforms built to streamline every part of your clinic — from scheduling to billing to patient engagement. They dive into:The three generations of EMR technology (and why most practices are stuck in Gen 1 or Gen 2)How AI is transforming not just clinical documentation, but business efficiencyWhat to consider before switching EMRs — and how to make the transition as seamless as possibleWhy “thinking small to grow big” is the mantra behind Stride's success If you've ever wondered whether your EMR is holding your practice back, this episode breaks down what the next wave of healthcare tech really looks like — and how to make sure your systems are built for the future, not the past.

It's the week beginning Sunday 2 November, and hi from the Darling Downs Radio Club: I'm Club Secretary John VK4JPM with the club update. Consider that it's now only 53 sleeps until Christmas, when you get to open that Icom IC22S you always yearned for back in 1978. Welcome to November in radio-land. Did you survive Trick or Treat in your location? Or maybe you're like our house: solidly overloaded with chocolates that we're going to have to eat ourselves. And more importantly: have you set your overseas daylight savings clocks back? Europe returned last weekend, and the US drops its clocks back this afternoon, Australia time. It's only EIGHT sleeps until John VK4JBE joins us in person to talk ElectroMagnetic Radiation - or EMR - and how to stay both legal and neighbour friendly. Most of us trust that EMR won't be a problem, but it can be... and in so many ways. John will bring along some documentation created to help you manage your EMR obligations - in particular, the EMR Safety Site Management Book, which will help you record everything needed to use the RSGB and WIA tools. That's on Monday, 10 November, at the Victory Street Scout Hall in Newtown. All the details are on the website at ddrci.org.au, and the meeting should be the first event shown on the calendar. By the way if you haven't checked the calendar rotator on our website recently, then give it a go. We're hiding past events in there along with future meetings. You can even go back in time and relive the downpour during the Carnival of Flowers parade. Next weekend is GCARS on the Gold Coast - many of us will be down there on Sunday morning, and you should be able to recognise us by the club shirts and hats. Please say hello! For the December meeting, we're still thinking about doing the Chinese Radio session, along with a bit of show and tell. That's enough warning to get something together to bring along and show - and that meeting will be on December 8th. Three thoughts before we leave. Until 1 Jan, membership of DDRCi is 25% off. That means it's only $30 to become a full member and only $7.50 if you're a junior. Join now, save money and support the club! DDRCi's training and assessment is in full swing. If you want to get or upgrade your qualification, start with an email to education@ddrci.org.au and we'll get you on the path to success * and finally if you do have an IC22S - as all of us did, back in the day - check out VK3ZYZ's articles on how to arduinoise the 22S... search for "SADARC" and "Arduino" and you'll find it. Thanks for listening - I'm John VK4JPM for the Darling Downs Radio Club.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Welcome This week on the Treat Your Business podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of our recent live strategy days with our Thrive members. This was one of the most powerful events I've ever delivered, filled with breakthrough moments, laughter, tears, and a lesson about how our belief lens shapes our business.Episode SummaryThis episode is all about the belief lens through which we run our clinics and businesses. I share a deeply moving story from our strategy days where Jojo and Pete, long-time clinic owners, confronted the beliefs that were holding them back from paying themselves what they truly deserve. We dig into how money beliefs, often picked up in childhood, can create ceilings in our business and keep us stuck, even when everything else seems to be in place. You'll hear how a powerful coaching moment helped Pete challenge his fears, rewrite his story, and finally take action to value himself and Jojo first in their business. I also share practical steps to identify and upgrade your own beliefs so you can create more freedom, profit, and satisfaction in your clinic.Key TakeawaysYour business is being run through your belief lens – your current mindset shapes every decision you make.Childhood money beliefs can still be running the show in your business today, creating invisible ceilings.Real change happens when you challenge and rewrite these beliefs, not just by adding more strategy.Paying yourself first is essential – you wouldn't skip paying your staff, so don't skip paying yourself.Action steps: Reflect on your money beliefs, rewrite them, and take practical action to prove your new belief is possible.Surround yourself with people who have the beliefs you want to adopt, and repeat your new beliefs often.Resources & LinksJoin our next live strategy day in November – limited non-member spaces available!Episode Sponsor:  Jane.appClinic management software and EMR that simplifies bookings, forms, and reminders so you can reclaim your evenings.

In this episode of our series on APAC countries' EMR implementation, Franklin Vibar, CIO of Asian Hospital and Medical Center in the Philippines, talks about how the hospital guided physicians and staff through the implementation of an EMR system and achieved 95% adoption. 

Shannon Rowan discusses her fascinating book "The Red Shoes: Our Devil's Dance with Technology and How We Can Stop It" on whether digital technologies have crossed the Rubicon from being mere tools to becoming our masters and whether they may even inherently be evil. From the harms of EMF and EMR, to the effects of screen technology on children and adult internet addiction, the internet is wrecking havoc on society. She also looks at some of the mysterious DARPA origins of this technology and little known facts, such as how the CIA's MKULTRA predecessor was known as Project Bluebird, and isn't it interesting how Twitter's initial logo was a bluebird? She also covers solutions which includes "rewilding ourselves". Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

Hi from the Darling Downs Radio Club for Sunday 26 October, or whatever date it happens to be when you hear this broadcast. I'm John VK4JPM, Secretary of the Club with a heap of good news for this week. Firstly congratulations to highly enthusiastic club member Brad, who last weekend upgraded himself from Shortwave Listener to Foundation Licensee. It might even be that by the time you hear this Brad will be on air as VK4BLL. Our next member meeting is Monday 10 November at regional Scouts HQ in Victory Street Newtown. EMR is the topic - that's Electro Magnetic Radiation, the stuff that happens when charged particles are accelerated and put to some hopefully good use. Beyond the need to do something useful with the radiation comes the requirement to understand how to play safe. Too little EMR and you won't be able to communicate with anyone. But when there's too much EMR you might well have problems ranging from annoyed neighbours to seriously dangerous health issues. We're being joined by John VK4JBE who will introduce an EMR Safety Site Management Book, designed to help amateurs record all the information necessary to use the WIA and RSGB tools, and ensure that you are complying with the requirements of your ACMA license. John has taken other clubs through this topic and the feedback has been very strongly positive... rather like some of the EMR that he will discuss. That's on Monday 10 November from 1900 AEST and held in person at Victory Street, and also by telepresence. All the detail is on the website - go to the home page which is ddrci.org.au and wait for the scroller to cycle around to the item for the meeting. And if you have questions, send a note to secretary@ddrci.org.au so that we can get you answers. Coming up later in the year we're looking at a Foxhunt, a BBQ end-of-year lunch, and a meeting devoted to getting the best out of the ridiculously cheap Chinese handhelds that everyone seems to have these days. We'd love to know your thoughts on these ideas, and don't be afraid to tell us. Secretary@ddrci.org.au. Oh, and there's still time to renew your club membership if you haven't done that yet. Just go to the home page and click the big red button that says "Join our club: click here". It can't be simpler than that. Until next week, thanks for tuning in and all the best from the Darling Downs Radio Club. This is Allan VK4HIT with news from Ipswich and District Radio Club. Last weekend on Saturday October 18 the club hosted a major JOTA/JOTI event at the Denmark Hill clubhouse. A total of 153 enthusiastic young people turned up across the day. Of this number there were 40 Guides, 80 Joeys and Cubs and 33 Scouts and Venturers. The day ran from 9am to 8pm with Joeys and Guides present before 1pm and Scouts and Venturers after 3pm. Various activities included orienteering (using handhelds) in the bush adjacent to the clubhouse (Denmark Hill Conservation Park), electronic kit building, 20 computers for JOTI chats, as well as Minecraft, and the obligatory contacts made on VHF via All Star and HF. The 2025 JOTA/JOTI event was supported by eight members from the Ipswich and District Radio Club. It was a great day, only interrupted by a late storm which did its best to try and launch a gazebo in the direction of Toowoomba! Reporting from Ipswich this is Allan, VK4HIT. From Kevin VK4UH here, President of the Brisbane VHF Group and Convener of the QTech 2025 conference, to be held in Brisbane. The two-day conference will run over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of November and is being held at the conference facilities of the Kedron Wavell RSL in Chermside, one of Brisbane's northern suburbs.

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'WelcomeAlright, let's be honest, if you're a clinic owner, you know what it's like to have a million things on your to-do list and still find yourself deep cleaning your desk, making another coffee, or suddenly deciding now is the perfect time to reorganise your entire reception area. Yep, we're talking about procrastination. I'm Katie Bell and this episode is all about getting real, busting through the fluff, and helping you move past the things that hold you back. If you've ever found yourself doing literally anything except the one thing that will move your business forward, you're in good company – and you're definitely in the right place.Episode SummaryThis week, I'm joined by the brilliant Philippa Alrdridge as we dive headfirst into the world of procrastination. We unpack what it really means, why it's not just about being lazy, and how it's actually a clever little safety mechanism your brain uses to keep you firmly in your comfort zone. We get honest about our own procrastination habits (yes, even me), and share practical tips for recognising when you're stuck, getting curious about what's really going on, and finally taking action – even if it's just for five minutes.We talk about the power of community and why surrounding yourself with the right people (the Thrive crew, obviously) is a game-changer for breaking free from old patterns. Plus, there's a bit of Sheffield humour, some mum-life realness, and a big reminder that business is meant to be simple, not overcomplicated by endless overthinking.Key HighlightsWhat procrastination really is (spoiler: it's not laziness)Why your brain tricks you into staying “safe” and how to spot the signsThe hidden costs of putting things off, from missed opportunities to extra stressHow to get out of your own head and into action, even if you start smallThe magic of community and why you're the average of the five people you hang around withPractical questions and mindset shifts to help you move forward todayEpisode Sponsor:  Jane.appClinic management software and EMR that simplifies bookings, forms, and reminders so you can reclaim your evenings.

Mazin Gadir, a regional expert in digital health strategy, Director with Alvarez & Marsal Healthcare and Life Sciences in Dubai, reflects on the Middle East's evolution from early EMR adoption to AI-driven healthcare. From Dubai's innovation playground to Abu Dhabi's depth in research, he explains how rivalry between Gulf states fuels progress and why exporting tested models to Africa and beyond is the new norm. He also questions the myth of leapfrogging, pointing out that fragmentation and lack of research remain barriers.

In this episode of our series on APAC countries' EMR implementation, experts from three Indonesian hospitals discuss the complexities of digital migration, including securing clinician buy-in, integrating systems and connecting to SATUSEHAT. 

I sit down with Dr. Adam Stewart—rural Ontario family doc and self-described efficiency nerd—to swap real-world systems for making primary care saner. We dig into EMR hacks, delegation to people and tech, AI scribes, block fees, and the “reset the clock” approach to slashing prescription-renewal chaos. Adam walks through protected time, inbox-zero habits, and why tiny upstream tweaks compound into hours saved. We also peek at how Ontario's FHO+ might change behavior—and how to optimize without losing our souls (or evenings).

Hi from the Darling Downs Radio Club with QNEWS for the period beginning Sunday, 19 October. I'm John VK4JPM, secretary of the club, bringing you an update. By the time you hear this, JOTA will be in full swing. Whilst the planets didn't align for formal club participation this year, we're heavily focused on helping young people to develop STEM skills - that's Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, all core components of the amateur radio hobby, and all addressed in the study you do to get a ham licence. And if you or someone you know is a scout and you'd like to know how we can help tide the STEM, drop a line to education@ddrci.org.au. Seriously, don't underestimate the value of what you learn to get your ham ticket. Not only does that get you on air, but we'll bet anything you like that those skills will pop up over and over again in your professional and home lives away from amateur radio. If there is such a thing. One great piece of news that came our way during the week: the Queensland Office of Fair Trading has formally registered the new rules that we voted in at our AGM in September. Our Rules are posted on the DDRCI website underneath the DOCUMENTS tab, so that you can read them at any time. Now: looking forward to the calendar and our next meeting. It's on Monday, 10 November and will again be held at the Scout Hall in Victory Street Newtown, and of course by telepresence. We're ramping up our focus on Electro Magnetic Radiation or EMR. Why? Because understanding of EMR goes directly to two things that are important to our ability to operate harmoniously - by not creating interference problems for our neighbours, and by operating safely so that we don't create problems for anyone. All our amateur transmitters emit electro-magnetic radiation - but do you know exactly how much and are your operations safe? John VK4JBE from Bayside District Amateur Radio Society is going to give us an overview of what the electro-magnetic radiation safety standards are, and explain how to apply them to our amateur stations. He's going to cover some work done by the Wireless Institute of Australia, and the Radio Society of Great Britain, both of whom have produced some tools to help. That's all vitally important stuff, and you can meet John and hear from an expert on Monday, 10 November. As always, all the info on QNews is available online and you can check our website at ddrci.org.au, or email us via secretary@ddrci.org.au if there's something specific you'd like to ask. And as always, if you like what we're doing: become a member. It's really inexpensive and your support helps heaps. I'll see you next week - 73 from John VK4JPM for the Darling Downs Radio Club. Kevin VK4UH HERE, President of the Brisbane VHF Group and Convener of the QTech 2025 conference, to be held in Brisbane in two weeks' time. The two-day conference will run over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of November and is being held at the conference facilities of the Kedron Wavel RSL in Chermside, one of Brisbane's northern suburbs. The theme of this year's conference is “The future of Amateur Radio is in your Hands” The programme includes presentations covering a wide range of aspects of our ever-expanding hobby, from entry-level, recruitment and supporting young people in AR right through to advanced technical advances in equipment and operating. In addition, there will be trade displays and equipment demonstrations. Also arranged, an exciting live ARISS telebridge where local high school students will be able to pose questions to the astronauts orbiting aboard the international Space Station, via Amateur Radio. Information and an open invitation to all to participate in this inaugural event has been circulated widely in AR Magazine, via this WIA national broadcast and via a variety of internet sites and other social media outlets.

Most owners treat insurance like a once-a-year fire drill. Smart subcontractors use it as a competitive advantage.In this episode of The Mobilization Mindset, Scott sits down with Dylan Burns, partner at The Baldwin Group, to cut through the noise and explain what actually matters in your program - renewals, claims, brokers, captives, and how to turn your safety culture into revenue.If you lead a commercial subcontracting business, this is the plain-English playbook you wish you'd had at your last renewal.In this episode, you'll learn: - The “three-legged stool” of a healthy program: placement, risk mitigation, and claims advocacy - Why renewals are arriving later - and how to start 6 months out to get better options - How to use insurance to win work (EMR/mod, telematics, loss history, safety culture) - A simple decision tree for “Do we file the claim?” (frequency vs. severity, defense counsel, break-even) - The biggest mistake: choosing the cheapest quote while ignoring exclusions and endorsements - Subcontractor language that trips teams up (such as residential exclusions hiding in policies) - How to evaluate a broker (buying power, stewardship plan, policy wording - not just price) - Captives vs. guaranteed cost: who's a fit, how they work, and why transparency mattersThis isn't just some theory on paper. It's a full diagnostics instruction for your next renewal, and how to turn risk management into margin.

In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics podcast, host Adeesha leads an expert panel: Rebecca Landiault (Apex Aesthetic Consulting), Sean Duncan (CPA and Strategist), Naren Arulrajah (Aesthetic Marketing Strategist), and Amy Ingle (Aesthetic Consultant) to deliver a full-spectrum guide on Optimizing and Maximizing Revenue with Next-Gen, Long-Lasting Injectables. The discussion begins with Rebecca Landiault detailing the necessity of "lifetime treatment planning" and stacking modalities (injectables with energy devices) to secure superior clinical outcomes, while emphasizing the use of robust patient financing to overcome initial budget objections. Financial strategist Sean Duncan reveals powerful sales psychology by explaining The Decoy Effect a technique for framing treatment choices to make high-value plans more appealing. He also stresses the critical importance of collaborating with legal and financial experts to select the proper business entity for major tax savings and asset protection. Marketing expert Naren Arulrajah breaks down the most effective promotion strategies, focusing on creating authentic before-and-after content and positioning the provider as a subject matter expert on social media (Instagram and TikTok). He then instructs practices on how to set up dedicated tracking mechanisms to accurately measure marketing ROI, CPA, and LTV. Finally, Amy Ingle addresses the common operational pitfalls of launching new products, including managing expensive inventory, blocking appropriate time for comprehensive consultations in the EMR, and ensuring full team education. She concludes with strategies for value-based pricing and structuring patient loyalty programs, like the "cash and stash" concept, to drive long-term retention. This episode provides a complete, actionable roadmap spanning clinical, financial, operational, and marketing strategies to future-proof your aesthetics practice.

A patient rolls into the OR with a tracheostomy—do you maintain the current tube, intubate orally, or go through the stoma? We break down the decision tree that keeps patients safe, from assessing tract maturity and surgical needs to choosing cuffed vs uncuffed strategies and planning for positive pressure ventilation. Then we shift to a critical safety pivot: total laryngectomy. When the trachea is sutured to the skin, the mouth and nose no longer connect to the lungs, and attempts at oral intubation can be deadly. We explain how to recognize the anatomy fast, oxygenate at the neck, and advance through a stepwise algorithm that reduces risk in time‑sensitive emergencies.Drawing on practical pearls and human‑factors design, we highlight why bedside signs and EMR alerts matter, how standardized language improves handoffs, and where airway exchange catheters, bougies, and wire‑reinforced tubes fit into safe practice. You'll hear clear guidance on cuff placement relative to the stoma, avoiding mainstem intubation, using waveform capnography for continuous confirmation, and preventing false passages in fresh tracheostomies. We also review eye‑opening data on attempted oral intubations after laryngectomy, underscoring the need for staff education, patient engagement, and systems that make the right move the easy one.If you manage airways in perioperative or emergency settings, this conversation strengthens your mental models and your muscle memory. Tune in for concise, actionable steps, download the signage and algorithms from the show notes, and share the episode with your team.

How We Onboard New Patients (And Why It Matters So Much)When new patients call your clinic, they're often nervous, skeptical, and unsure. Many have never heard of pelvic PT—and nearly all have had negative healthcare experiences in the past.Onboarding isn't just logistics—it's your first chance to show them you're different. Done well, it builds comfort, trust, and confidence before they ever step into the treatment room.In this episode, we share:Why onboarding is so important in pelvic healthHow to handle the initial phone call to set expectationsWhat your welcome and reminder emails should include (and why generic EMR templates don't cut it)How to greet new patients when they arriveWhy the “new patient agreement” is like checking in at a high-end hotelThese small but intentional touches make a massive difference—not just for your patients, but for your therapists and your entire business.Business Accelerator ProgramAnd if you want to build systems like this for your own clinic, this is exactly what we teach inside the Business Accelerator Program.

Is that penicillin or amoxicillin allergy real? Probably not. In this episode, we explore how to assess risk, talk to parents, and refer for delabeling. You'll also learn what happens in the allergy clinic, why the label matters, and how to be a better antimicrobial steward. Learning Objectives Describe the mechanisms and clinical manifestations of immediate and delayed hypersensitivity reactions to penicillin, including diagnostic criteria and risk stratification tools such as the PEN-FAST score. Differentiate between low-, moderate-, and high-risk penicillin allergy histories in pediatric patients and identify appropriate candidates for direct oral challenge or allergy referral based on current evidence and guidelines. Formulate an evidence-based approach for evaluating and counseling families in the Emergency Department about reported penicillin allergies, including when to recommend outpatient referral for formal delabeling.

As always, I'm your host, Brad Sobolewski, and today we are taking on a label that's misleading, persistent. Far too common penicillin allergy, it's often based on incomplete or inaccurate information, and it may end up limiting safe and effective treatment, especially for the kids that we see in the emergency department. I think you've all seen a patient where you're like. I don't think this kid's really allergic to amoxicillin, but what do you do about it? In this episode, we're gonna break down the evidence, walk through what actually happens during de labeling and dedicated allergy clinics. Highlight some validated tools like the pen FAST score, which I'd never heard of before. Preparing for this episode and discuss the current and future role of ED based penicillin allergy testing. Okay, so about 10% of patients carry a penicillin allergy label, but more than 90% are not truly allergic. And this label can be really problematic in kids. It limits first line treatment choices like amoxicillin, otitis media, or penicillin for strep throat, and instead. Kids get prescribed second line agents that are less effective, broader spectrum, maybe more toxic or poorly tolerated and associated with a higher risk of antimicrobial resistance. So it's not just an EMR checkbox, it's a label with some real clinical consequences. And it's one, we have a role in removing. And so let's understand what allergy really means. And most patients with a reported penicillin allergy, especially kids, aren't true allergies in the immunologic sense. Common misinterpretations include a delayed rash, a maculopapular, or viral exum, or benign, delayed hypersensitivity, side effects, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. And unverified childhood reactions that are undocumented and nonspecific. Most of these are not true allergies. Only a very small subset of patients actually have IgE mediated hypersensitivity, such as urticaria, angioedema, wheezing, and anaphylaxis. These are super rare, and even then they may resolve over time without treatment. If a parent or sibling has a history of a penicillin allergy, remember that patient might actually not be allergic, and that is certainly not a reason to label a child as allergic just because one of their first degree relatives has an allergy. So right now, in 2025, as I'm recording this episode, there are clinics like the Pats Clinic or the Penicillin Allergy Testing Services at Cincinnati Children's and in a lot of our peer institutions that are at the forefront of modern de labeling. Their approach reflects the standard of care as outlined by the. Quad ai or the American Academy of Allergy, asthma and Immunology and supported by large trials like Palace. And you know, you have a great trial if you have a great acronym. So here's what happens step by step. So first you stratify the risk. How likely is this to be a true allergy? And that's where a tool like the pen fast comes. And so pen fast scores, a decision rule developed to help assess the likelihood of a true penicillin allergy based on the patient's history. The pen in pen fast is whether or not the patient has a self-reported history of penicillin allergy. They get two points if the reaction occurred in the past five years. Two points if the reaction is anaphylaxis or angioedema. One point if the reaction required treatment, and one point if the reaction was not due to testing. And so you can get a total score of. Up to six points. If you have a score of less than three. This is a low risk patient and they can be eligible for direct oral challenge. A score greater than three means they're higher risk and they may require skin testing. First validation studies show that the PEN FFA score of less than three had a negative predictive value of 96.3%. Meaning a very, very low chance of a true allergy. And this tool has been studied more extensively in adults, but pediatric specific adaptations are emerging, and they do inform current allergy clinic protocols. But I would not use this score in the emergency department just to give a kid a dose of amoxicillin. So. For low risk patients, a pen fast score of less than three or equivalent clinical judgment clinics proceed with direct oral challenge with no skin testing required. The protocol is they administer one dose of oral amoxicillin and they observe for 62 120 minutes monitoring for signs of reaction Urticaria. Respiratory symptoms or GI upset. This approach is safe and effective. There was a trial called Palace back in 2022, which validated this in over 300 children. In adolescents. There were no serious events that occurred. De labeling was successful in greater than 95% of patients. And skin tested added no benefit in low risk patients. So if the child tolerates this dose, then you can remove that allergy immediately from the chart. Parents and primary care doctors will receive a summary letter noting that the challenge was successful and that there's new guidance. Children and families are told they can safely receive all penicillins going forward. And providers are encouraged to document this clearly in the allergy section of the EMR. So you're wondering, can we actually do this in the emergency department? Technically, yes, you can do what you want, but practically we're not quite there yet. So we'd need clearer risk stratification tools like the Pen fast, a safe place for monitoring, post challenge, clinical pathways and documentation support. You know, a clear way to update EMR allergy labels across the board and involvement or allergy or infectious disease oversight. But it's pretty enticing, right? See a kid you diagnose otitis media. You think that their penicillin allergy is wrong, you just give 'em a dose of amox and watch 'em for an hour. That seems like a pretty cool thing that we might be able to do. So some centers, especially in Canada and Australia, do have some protocols for ED or inpatient based de labeling, but they rely on that structured implementation. So until then, our role in the pediatric emergency department is to identify low risk patients, avoid over document. Unconfirmed reactions and refer to allergy ideally to a clinic like the pets. So who should be referred and good candidates Include a child with a rash only, especially one that's remote over a year ago. Isolated GI symptoms. Parents unsure of the details at all. No history of anaphylaxis wheezing her hives, and no recent serious cutaneous reactions. I would avoid referring and presume that this allergy is true. If they've had recent anaphylaxis, they've had something like Stevens Johnson syndrome dress, or toxic epidermolysis necrosis. Fortunately, those are very, very rare with penicillins and there's a need for penicillin during the ED visit without allergy backup. So even though we don't have an ED based protocol yet. De labeling amoxicillin or penicillin allergy can start with good questions in the emergency department. So here's one way to talk to patients and families. You can say, thanks for letting me know about the amoxicillin allergy. Can I ask you a few questions to better understand what happened? This is gonna help us decide the safest and most effective treatment for your child today, and then possibly go through a process to remove a label for this allergy that might not be accurate. You wanna ask good, open-ended questions. What exactly happened when your child took penicillin or amoxicillin? You know, look for rash, hives, swelling, trouble breathing, or anaphylaxis. Many families just say, allergic, when the reaction was just GI upset, diarrhea or vomiting, which is not an allergy. How old was your child when this happened? Reactions that occurred before age of three are more likely to be falsely attributed. How soon after taking the medicine did the reaction start? Less than one hour is an immediate reaction, but one hour to days later is delayed. Usually mild and probably not a true allergy. Did they have a fever, cold or virus at that time? Viral rashes are often misattributed to antibiotics, and we shouldn't be treating viruses with antibiotics anyway, so get good at looking at ears and know what you're seeing. And have they taken similar antibiotics since then? Like. Different penicillins, Augmentin, or cephalexin. So if they said that they were allergic to amoxicillin, but then somehow tolerated Augmentin. They're not allergic. If a patient had rash only, but no hive swelling or difficulty breathing, no reaction within the first hour. It occurred more than five years ago or before the kid was three. And especially if they tolerated beta-lactam antibiotics. Since then, they're a great candidate for de labeling and I would refer that kid to the allergy clinic. Generally, they can get them in pretty darn quick. Alright, we're gonna wrap up this episode. Most kids labeled penicillin allergic or amoxicillin allergic, or not actually allergic to the medication. There are some scores like pen fasts that are validated tools to assess risk and support de labeling. Direct oral challenge for most patients is safe, efficient, and increasingly the standard of care. There are allergy clinics like the Pats at Cincinnati Children's that can dela children in a single visit with oral challenges alone, needing no skin testing, and emergency departments can play a key role in identifying and referring these patients and possibly de labeling ourselves in the future. Well, that's all for this episode on Penicillin Allergy. I hope you learn something new, especially how to assess whether an allergy label is real, how to ask the right questions and when to refer to an allergy testing clinic.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Marcia Kashani, a nurse and experienced healthcare improvement advisor, to explore practical strategies for making your clinical day more efficient, effective, and—most importantly—sustainable. Drawing on years of experience facilitating primary care transformation and team-based initiatives, Dr. Kashani shares stories of real-world success: from leveraging the strengths of every team member, to optimizing clinic workflows, and even reimagining how tasks get delegated to maximize value for both clinicians and patients. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by a never-ending list of tasks, long wait times for appointments, or the challenge of figuring out what you can hand off—and to whom—this is an episode you won't want to miss. Dr. Smith and Dr. Kashani offer actionable insights into improving access, reducing unnecessary physician workload, and embracing change as a path to better care and a better work-life balance. Whether you're part of a large clinic or running a small practice, you'll find inspiration and hope for positive change right here. Tune in and take one step closer to reclaiming time for your patients—and yourself! Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Empower Your Team: Distinguish between physician, nurse, and administrative tasks. When tasks are thoughtfully delegated—like patient screening calls or form-filling—clinicians can reclaim time for patient care and improve office efficiency. Reduce Unnecessary Visits: Examine return visit rates and consider whether clinical follow-ups always require physician attention. Thoughtful use of nurses, pharmacists, and even patients' support networks can safely reduce visit volumes and waiting times. Leverage Process Improvement: Document and map out workflows to highlight inefficiencies, duplications, and points of delay (like EMR optimization or referral processing). Even simple changes—like consistently titling scanned documents—deliver significant time savings for clinicians. Meet Dr. Marcia Kashani: Marcia has over 40 years of front-line nursing and progressive leadership experience in primary care, community care and acute care.

Interview with Tim Harrison, Managing Director of Ionic Rare EarthsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ionic-rare-earths-asxixr-us-attracted-to-magnet-recycler-7488Recording date: 2nd September 2025The rare earth metals market has entered a new era following China's April 2025 export restrictions on seven critical rare earth elements, creating unprecedented opportunities for alternative suppliers. Australian-listed Ionic Rare Earth (ASX:IXR) has emerged as a strategic beneficiary of this supply chain disruption through its advanced magnet recycling technology.China's export ban demonstrated its monopolistic control over materials essential for modern technology and defense applications, immediately creating supply shortages and price volatility. Ionic Rare Earth's Managing Director Tim Harrison reports the company has been "inundated on requests to access the dysprosium and terbium" from their Belfast demonstration plant, with dysprosium commanding three times Chinese quoted prices in European markets.The geopolitical catalyst has triggered massive government and corporate investment in supply chain security. The US Department of Defense invested $400 million in MP Materials, establishing a $110/kg floor price for neodymium-praseodymium, effectively doubling available prices to non-Chinese producers. Apple followed with a $500 million investment in recycling infrastructure, signaling corporate recognition of supply chain vulnerabilities.Ionic Rare Earth's competitive advantage lies in its proprietary recycling process that produces high-purity separated oxides using 85% less capital than traditional mining. The technology focuses on separating four elements representing 85-90% of rare earth supply chain value, enabling rapid deployment across multiple jurisdictions without mining permits or social license challenges.With comprehensive patent protection, strategic partnerships providing feedstock access through EMR, and government support across the US, UK, and Europe, Ionic Rare Earth is positioned to capitalize on the structural shift toward recycling-based supply chains. The European Critical Raw Materials Act mandates 25% of rare earth supply from recycling by 2030, creating additional policy tailwinds for the company's expansion strategy.View Ionic Rare Earths' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ionic-rare-earths-ltd

Send us a textMost of us go to the doctor, get labs drawn, maybe even have a scan — and then never see the full picture of our own health. That's changing.In this episode of The Daily Apple, Kevin talks with Travis Bond, founder of Bio Insights, about the future of electronic medical records (EMRs) and why they're not just for doctors. EMRs are becoming the backbone of how patients can actually see, understand, and act on their health information.This isn't a tech episode for physicians. It's a conversation about how you can be more connected, informed, and in charge of your own health journey. From making sure your care team is on the same page, to finally having your results and history in one place, EMRs are making it possible to move from confusion to clarity.In this episode:Why electronic medical records matter for patients, not just providersHow EMRs make it easier to track your own progress over timeThe difference between “data overload” and “actionable information”How a more connected record leads to better conversations with your doctorWhat the future looks like when patients actually own their health storyIt's not about replacing your doctor. It's about having the tools to understand what's happening — and make decisions with confidence. Prime Health Associates

In a business climate shaped by rapid technological disruption, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and evolving customer expectations, strategy cannot remain static. JD Carter, Chief Strategy Officer at Vasion, believes the key to success lies in constantly aligning vision with execution while adapting to market realities in real time. In this conversation, JD shares how his role involves continuously monitoring external signals such as technology shifts, regulatory changes, and economic pressures, then translating those insights into operational action. We explore his approach to looking beyond the company vision by breaking it down into achievable missions that link long-term goals with day-to-day work across cross-functional teams. A major focus of the discussion is AI readiness and how organisations can move beyond hype to real impact. JD outlines a five-stage process for becoming AI-ready, starting with digitising and centralising documents and data, followed by cleaning and structuring information for use with large language models. He explains how automating repetitive workflows, modernising infrastructure, and ensuring interoperability across systems such as ERP and HR platforms create the foundation for orchestrated automation at scale. Governance and access controls complete the picture, ensuring that AI deployment meets both internal and regulatory standards. We also look at how Vasion balances short-term market needs with a long-term platform vision. JD describes how leveraging the company's market-leading print infrastructure products supports current growth, while investing in R&D drives the development of a multi-product SaaS platform designed to integrate AI across the enterprise. A customer-first mindset shapes every decision, from pricing to product development, with continuous engagement through advisory boards, surveys, and direct conversations ensuring that partner strategies align with customer priorities. To illustrate these principles in action, JD shares how Vasion responded to market demand for system-generated print job support by developing a SaaS-based output automation product. This pivot addressed a gap created by ERP and EMR vendors moving customers to the cloud and positioned Vasion at the start of its multi-product journey. We discuss the signals leaders should watch to keep strategy relevant, including shifts in customer behaviour, the pace of technology adoption, and internal friction that may indicate misalignment. JD likens strategy to a GPS system, with vision as the destination and constant recalibration required to navigate roadblocks and changing conditions. The conversation closes with a focus on embedding strategic agility into company culture. JD explains Vasion's Missions of Aspirational Performance system, which connects corporate values directly to execution by breaking down strategic goals into work that individuals can see contributing to the bigger picture. He also shares his personal three-pronged approach to continuous learning, combining formal education, informal learning, and mentor-driven guidance. This episode offers practical insight for leaders navigating uncertainty, balancing present-day demands with future opportunity, and embedding adaptability into the DNA of their organisations.

In this episode of Healthcare Americana, host Christopher Habig talks with Dr. Shannon Decker, CEO of VBC One, about what value-based care (VBC) really means and how it differs from traditional fee-for-service models. Dr. Decker explains that VBC focuses on prevention, quality measures, total cost of care, and accurate risk adjustment. She discusses payment approaches like capitation with quality bonuses and highlights the practical needs for success, including strong EMR documentation, risk coding, clinician and patient engagement, interoperable data, and effective workflows. The conversation also covers pitfalls such as underreported chronic conditions, challenges with global risk contracts like ACO REACH, and the importance of contract protections and ongoing education. Dr. Decker emphasizes that with the right systems and trust between clinicians and patients, value-based care can improve outcomes and reduce costs, but it requires careful planning and implementation.More on Freedom Healthworks & FreedomDoc HealthSubscribe at https://healthcareamericana.com/More on Dr. Shannon Decker & VBC OneFollow Healthcare Americana: Instagram & LinkedIN
