Podcasts about Health informatics

In this episode, managing editor Sabrina Serani sits down with 3 experts at the intersection of oncology pharmacy, health informatics, and drug distribution to unpack the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway and what it means for cancer centers navigating today's complex drug landscape.Guests: Jessica White, PharmD, Vice President, Specialty Programs & Portfolio Management at McKesson Derek Burns​, PharmD, Senior Director, MID Solutions at McKesson Nick Brady​, Director, Health Informatics at Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute (CARTI)​ What We Cover:The 505(b)(2) Pathway Explained — Jessica breaks down how the 505(b)(2) new drug application differs from a traditional NDA, allowing drug developers to build on existing FDA-recognized data through bridging studies. The result: faster approvals, lower development costs, and drugs that improve on — rather than simply duplicate — what's already on the market.Why Oncology, Why Now — Nick explains how 505(b)(2) drugs address a critical pain point in oncology practice: supply disruption. When reference products go on allocation or become unavailable, these drugs provide a meaningful alternative — and in some cases, meaningful clinical improvements like reduced toxicity, modified dosage forms, or improved adherence.The Real Friction Points — Derek identifies where practices actually get stuck: not at the clinical level, but in operations. Launching without a brand name, missing J-codes, absent ASP data, and gaps in the CMS NDC crosswalk all create hesitation in revenue cycle teams. The underlying problem, he argues, is almost never resistance to innovation — it's undefined coverage, coding, and workflow clarity at launch.Who Needs to Be at the Table — Nick walks through Carti's internal adoption process, emphasizing that economic evaluation must run in parallel with patient impact assessment. A cross-functional team — pre-certification, pharmacy (both infusion and dispensing), billing and coding, and claims monitoring — needs to move together, with a single source of truth so that no one on the front lines is working from conflicting information.Practical Strategies for Adoption — The group converges on two key approaches: front-load organizational alignment before the first dose is given, and start narrow with a defined pilot population before any broad rollout. Derek and Jessica also stress the value of a designated practice champion who can coordinate across departments and pressure-test coverage and economics in advance.The Patient at the Center — When everything is working, patients experience seamless transitions between products, fewer delays, and — in some cases — therapies that are easier to tolerate and stay on. The panel emphasizes that a well-integrated 505(b)(2) strategy should be invisible to the patient while delivering real downstream clinical and economic benefit.Safety Considerations — Derek underscores that practices managing multiple agents within the same drug category face real risks around dispensing, billing, and administration if labeling and workflows aren't airtight. Jessica notes that the industry is correcting course, with more manufacturers now launching 505(b)(2) products with distinct brand names — reducing the risk of misidentification.Where the Pipeline Is Headed — Jessica closes with a look at the road ahead: more branded manufacturers entering the 505(b)(2) space, a growing pipeline from traditional generic manufacturers focused on oncology, and a strategic emphasis on supply redundancy and clinical improvements for older, well-established agents that have experienced drug shortages.Key Takeaways: Treat 505(b)(2) drugs as an operational, clinical, and financial tool, not just an economic play. Every oncology practice will likely carry multiple agents in the same category; managing that inventory safely is non-negotiable. If you've seen one 505(b)(2), you've seen one. Ask what's actually different, what the evidence supports, and how it fits your patients. "Not yet" is more accurate than "never": even practices not ready to adopt should be educating staff now.

In this conversation, I sit down again with Jules Vasquez (Brain Body by Jules) to explore how our everyday habits especially what we read, watch, and do before bed - shape our brain health, stress levels, and overall well-being. We talk about why reading physical books (not scrolling or eBooks) can act as a true mental reset - almost like a mini vacation from daily stress - and how this simple habit may support focus, memory, and nervous system regulation. We also dive into the importance of sleep and dreaming, and why your dream state plays a key role in mental health, emotional processing, and clearing out the brain. And yes… we discuss how horror movies and intense content may impact your nervous system, especially if you're already dealing with high stress or poor sleep. ✨ In this episode, we cover: Why reading books supports brain health and reduces stress Books vs. screens as a form of escape and recovery The role of sleep and dreaming in mental clarity and repair How your nighttime habits influence your brain and hormones The potential impact of horror movies on stress and sleep If you're looking for simple, practical ways to support your brain in a high-stimulation world, this episode will give you a new perspective on what you consume, both mentally and physically.

Healthcare today runs on data, but few people understand how deeply information systems shape patient outcomes, clinician workflows, and long-term public health. In this episode of Research Renaissance, host Deborah Westphal sits down with Dr. Caterina (Cat) Lasome, a nationally recognized leader in health informatics and digital health transformation.Drawing from 23 years as an Army nurse and decades working across the Department of Defense, VA, NIH, and federal health systems, Cat explains how informatics sits at the intersection of clinical care, technology, and human behavior. Together, they explore what happens when data flows well, where systems still fracture, and why learning healthcare systems may be the key to safer, more adaptive medicine.Key Topics & TakeawaysWhat health informatics actually is and why it affects every patient encounterHow military healthcare prepares clinicians for complexity at scaleWhy continuity of care between DoD and VA systems matters for veteransThe hidden role of data standards, interoperability, and governanceClinical practice guidelines and how they improve consistency without replacing judgmentBurnout, documentation burden, and the promise of ambient clinical listeningWhy healthcare struggles to learn from errors, and what aviation gets rightWhat a true “learning healthcare system” would require to functionAbout the GuestDr. Caterina (Cat) Lasome is a nationally recognized expert in health informatics, clinical systems, and digital health transformation.

In this episode, Cathy Sykora sits down with mental‑health advocate, writer, and podcaster Katie Waechter. Katie shares how her background in psychology and health informatics shaped her work, and why telling stories—her own and others'—is a powerful way to break stigma. We explore how the conversation around mental health has evolved, the role of language and narrative in wellness, and how coaches and advocates can support clients with compassion, boundaries, and resources. Katie also delves into how AI is changing content and conversation in the mental‑health space—when it helps and when it doesn't. Listeners will gain concrete strategies for telling meaningful stories, setting boundaries as a helper, and collaborating across support networks. In this episode, you'll discover: What "mental‑health advocacy" truly means and why lived experience matters in shaping community and policy. How language around mental health has shifted (and why words like "die by suicide" vs. "committed suicide" matter). The importance of story and authenticity in our digital age of AI and social media. Practical tips for coaches and helpers: building a resource list, recognizing when it's time to refer, and protecting your own boundaries. How to use AI as a tool—not a crutch—in mental‑health communication and content creation. Why it's critical to collaborate across the ecosystem rather than staying siloed when supporting others in crisis. Ways to empower clients and community members by acknowledging physical signs of mental‑health issues and providing real pathways to help. Memorable Quotes: "Your story matters. Telling it to somebody else can not only help yourself, but it can help that individual as well." "Use AI as a tool, but don't allow it to speak for you. And don't use it as a therapy because that's not a good cycle to go down." "You've got to put your mask on first. Because if you put a mask on everybody else, then you're going to be suffering in the end, and then you can't help anybody." Bio: Katie Waechter is a passionate mental‑health advocate, writer, and podcaster. Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, she holds a BA in Psychology from the University of Nevada, Reno, and an MS in Information Science with a focus on Health Informatics from the University of North Texas.

What exactly is a “learning health system”? In several of our episodes, you've heard us talk about how data collection has modernized through new technologies and enhanced approaches to clinical trials. But now that we have all that data, we need to transform it into clinical practice. Learning health systems are all about completing this virtuous cycle from scientific discovery to implementation, and yet, there are few that exist and work well. In this episode, you'll hear us discuss (and perhaps debate) what a true learning health system looks like, as well as how informatics can help lead the charge. Up first on our panel of distinguished guests is Dr. Genevieve Melton-Meaux, a Professor of Surgery and Senior Associate Dean of Health Informatics and Data Science at the University of Minnesota. Among her many accolades, she is a Past President of the American College of Medical Informatics, current President of the American Medical Informatics Association, and Director for the Center of Learning Health System Sciences at Minnesota. Her research focuses on clinical natural language processing, surgical informatics, and optimizing AI best practices. We were also joined by Dr. Chuck Friedman, a Professor of Medical Education and Chair of the Department of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School. He is also the editor-in-chief of the open-access journal Learning Health Systems. Drawing from his time at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology in the U.S. Department for Health and Human Services, he helped transform Michigan's medical education department into one of the first in the nation to focus on learning health at all levels, including large-scale information infrastructure. Finally, we had Dr. Peter Embí, Professor and Chair of the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Prior, he served as President and CEO of the Regenstrief Institute, a not-for-profit health care research organization in Indianapolis, Indiana that seeks to develop, conduct, and disseminate scientific research across communities. A Past President of the American Medical Informatics Association, his research centers on data-driven learning health systems. We are also pleased to share an original learning health systems “anthem,” composed by Molly Sinderbrand, called “System Problems Need System Solutions.” In our jazzy rendition, it was performed by pianist Phil Barrison and our very own Kevin Johnson on vocals!

Washington, DC, August 23, 2024 — On this month's podcast, the National Association of County and City Health Officials' (NACCHO) Victoria Van de Vate, Director of Government Affairs, and Lauren Mastroberardino, Government Affairs Senior Specialist, provided an outlook for federal funding this fall, amid the summer Congressional recess and the upcoming election season. They also discussed the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Senate Appropriations Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill (also known as the Labor-HHS bill), and how that sets up possible funding negotiations later this year. For more updates and to subscribe to the weekly newsletter, visit: www.naccho.org/advocacy.   Later in the program (6:34), NACCHO's Victoria Van de Vate, Director of Government Affairs, and Meghan Shea, Senior Program Analyst - Informatics, discussed key findings from NACCHO's 2024 Public Health Informatics Profile. The first-of-its-kind assessment fills a key gap in our nation's understanding of the information science workforce, data systems, and the overall scope of informatics at the local public health level. The findings illuminate a wide picture of informatics and data modernization efforts across the country. Notably, key findings show that while over half of local health departments are working on data modernization initiatives, most are doing so without a dedicated informatics team or department. There is also a high level of interest in using AI, with over half of local health departments interested in adapting AI or machine learning into their work.   ###    About NACCHO The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) represents the over 3,300 local governmental health departments across the country. These city, county, metropolitan, district, and tribal departments work every day to protect and promote health and well-being for all people in their communities.

Welcome, everyone, to your introductory course in public health informatics! On today's episode, we discuss all things public health, including what it is, how it varies on a state and national level, and how health departments respond to public health crises. We demystify some of our misconceptions about how the public health system works, like how state departments are separate from the CDC, how we share disease statistics such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how our medical history may or may not travel with us from state to state. Of course, our question always is, why does informatics matter in this conversation? Our guests have many ideas about how we can utilize informatics to create more efficient means of sharing data and, by extension, improving our overall public health. Dr. Bryant Thomas Karras is the Chief Medical Informatics Officer at the State of Washington Department of Health and a faculty member at the University of Washington's School of Public Health. He is a physician, biomedical engineer, and informatician who uses his multifaceted experience to promote interoperability and help various agencies utilize new technologies in their public health efforts. He's advised health departments on a local, state, and national level, including the Center of Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Jessie Tenenbaum is an Associate Professor at Duke University School of Medicine, and she recently concluded a five-year tenure as the Chief Data Officer for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Her work focuses on enhancing data-driven decision-making to improve public health outcomes and finding AI methods to improve whole person health. She's served on the editorial board for the Journal of Biomedical Informatics, on AMIA's Board of Directors, and on the Board of Scientific Counselors for the National Library of Medicine, all while advocating for women in STEM and precision medicine efforts. We were so thankful to have both of these experts on this episode! Last but not least, we were joined by a new guest—Lauren Malloy joined us as a co-host for this episode. Lauren is the administrative coordinator for the Artificial Intelligence for Ambulatory Care Innovation Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania, which investigates how technology can address healthcare challenges.

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare technology, humility is the compass that guides successful change management. It reminds us that the journey towards seamless adoption of health information technology is a collaborative one, where the wisdom of many outweighs the knowledge of one.  The humility to acknowledge one's limitations fosters an environment where collaboration and learning thrive. In the context of clinical informatics, allyship and teamwork are indispensable. Effective clinical informatics demands a diverse skill set, often spanning healthcare providers, IT specialists, and administrative personnel. Allyship within this multidisciplinary team is essential, and applied clinical informatics can be the linchpin in the transition to value-based care.  Through successful HIT implementation, leaders can illuminate the path to better outcomes, reduced costs, and patient-centered excellence. A new era for Clinical Informatics is upon us and will empower healthcare with data-driven insights, AI capabilities, virtual care at scale, and precision medicine to ensure that quality triumphs over quantity in our pursuit of healthier communities. On the Race to Value this week, we are joined by Brittany Partridge, a national thought leader on health data management and informatics.  Brittany is passionate about implementing technology that impacts clinical workflow in a positive way and increases patients' access to care. Join us for an informative discussion on Clinical Informatics, the importance of allyship to mitigate medical technology risk, the impact of Generative AI and virtual care on health system transformation, and change management best practices to lead your organization to successful healthcare innovation. Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Introduction to Brittany Partridge, an industry leader in Virtual Care Technical Architecture and Informatics Implementations. 03:00 Recent book collaboration with Ed Marx – “Voices of Innovation:  Fulfilling the Promise of Information Technology in Healthcare” 04:30 The sub-disciplines of Health Informatics (e.g. Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Biomedical, Medical, and Clinical Informatics). 06:00 AMIA: Why Informatics? -  “Informatics is the overarching field of study that pulls all these subdomains into one discipline focused on improving health and healthcare.” 06:30 Applied Clinical Informatics – the frontline of healthcare innovation with direct clinician interaction. 07:00 Early experiences in e-prescribing implementations that led to other care delivery innovations such as virtual care and remote patient monitoring. 08:00 The intersection of Clinical Informatics and VBC (ensuring tech usability to optimize care workflows for clinical quality improvement). 09:00 Best Practice Advisories (BPAs) – pop-up alerts to empower clinicians to make the best informed decisions at the point-of-care. 09:45 Leveraging technology innovations to improve patient access and affordability. 11:30 The importance of shadowing and workflow analysis as a catalyst for innovation. 13:00 How shadowing is incorporated into user validation, user design, and Lean (“Go to the Gemba”) 14:00 Simply asking clinicians to describe a workflow is insufficient in understanding the entire process. 15:00 “Get a robust current state workflow before you implement any innovation project because you need to know what you're going to be replacing.” 15:45 How virtual interactions with providers can complement provider shadowing in an embedded CI model. 16:30 Non-judgement in applied clinical informatics is required to build trust. 17:30 “The most important part of rolling out any technology project is clinician trust. They need to know that you have their best interests at heart.” 19:45 Allyship is key to reducing medical technology risk because the inclusion of diverse perspectives yields the greatest rewards. 21:30 “Fail fast and iterate” and “Perfect being the enemy of good” philosophies don'...
