We push back on the idea that obstetrics “deserves” a malpractice crisis and explain how bad incentives and junk science can turn normal evidence-based care into courtroom blame. We also break down a few widely shared clinical myths and new research so we can practice with clearer eyes and less narrative noise.• placental grading on ultrasound as low-value data with poor predictive power and high reader variability • how malpractice commentary can seed plaintiff-friendly arguments against evidence-based off-label use • why blaming misoprostol or “high-dose” oxytocin oversimplifies multifactorial outcomes • quality improvement bundles as useful tools but weak proof without controls or causal clarity • how massive verdicts and paid expert testimony can clash with modern science on cerebral palsy and HIE • the FAA's five hazardous attitudes and practical antidotes for high-stakes clinical work • new data on LEEP versus cold knife cone for CIN, recurrence, HPV clearance, and access tradeoffs • genetics and BMI as major drivers of gut microbiome patterns, not influencer narratives • what a 1993 Doppler trial can and cannot prove, plus why replication changes conclusions Be sure to check out thinkingaboutobgyn.com for more information and be sure to follow us on Instagram.0:00 Welcome And Season Update1:15 Placental Grading Myth On Ultrasound6:44 Calling Out A Malpractice Influencer14:06 The 2011 Policy Bundle Examined23:20 What Drives The OB Malpractice Crisis30:00 How Mega Verdicts Get Made36:59 Five Hazardous Attitudes From Aviation44:31 LEEP Versus Cone For CIN48:04 Genetics And The Gut Microbiome52:17 Does Doppler Ultrasound Harm Babies?1:00:37 Recommendations And ClosingFollow us on Instagram @thinkingaboutobgyn.

Health information exchanges (HIEs) play a vital role in enabling providers and care coordinators to share information in support of patient care. But as telehealth and digital health models expand across state lines, organizations must navigate a patchwork of state laws, consent requirements, and interoperability challenges that often create significant friction in data sharing. Hal Porter, Director of Consulting Services, Clearwater, speaks with Sarah Chasson, General Counsel, Chief Legal Officer, and Chief Privacy Officer, Particle Health, and Jennifer Geetter, Partner, McDermott Will & Schulte LLP, about how evolving federal frameworks, state-level variation, and practical implementation challenges are shaping the future of HIE participation for digital health organizations.

Send us Fan MailEvery neonatologist has built a protocol or written a guideline, and most have done it completely alone. In this episode, Ben sits down with Dr. Christina Muffy Sollinger (UC Davis) and Dr. Sarvin Ghavam (CHOP), the co-founders of NeoGuide, a national collaborative dedicated to connecting clinicians around the shared work of clinical guidelines and practice pathways. Born from a single email that broke a listserv and generated over 120 responses overnight, NeoGuide has grown into a structured community offering a seminar series on topics like transfusion medicine and HIE management, and a curriculum series focused on implementation science. Muffy and Sarvin discuss how to build consensus without promoting cookie-cutter medicine, the moral distress of clinical uncertainty, and their vision for a living repository of institutional pathways.

Send us Fan MailEvery year, thousands of newborns suffer devastating brain injury during birth - and despite decades of research, there are still no approved drug therapies for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE). But one biotech company believes it may finally have a solution.Dr. Howard Berman, Ph.D. is Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of ReAlta Life Sciences ( https://realtalifesciences.com/ ), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel therapies for severe inflammatory diseases.Dr. Berman brings a unique background spanning neuroscience, pharmacology, medical affairs, technology transfer, and biotech entrepreneurship. He earned his Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Neuroscience from Weill Cornell Medical College, where his research focused on pain and temperature processing in the human brain using functional MRI. Over the course of his career, he has held roles at Novartis, Eli Lilly and Company, and AbbVie, working across oncology, neuroscience, immunology, and business development.Dr. Berman later went on to found Coya Therapeutics, a company focused on regulatory T-cell biology and neurodegenerative disease, and has built a reputation for identifying and advancing novel therapeutic approaches at the intersection of science and translational medicine.Today, Dr. Berman is leading ReAlta at a particularly important moment for the company. ReAlta recently announced a $40 million financing round to support the continued development of its lead therapeutic candidate, pegtarazimod, for the treatment of Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy, or HIE.HIE is a devastating condition caused by a lack of oxygen and blood flow to the brain during or around the time of birth. It remains one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality and long-term neurological disability worldwide, often resulting in conditions such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and cognitive impairment. Despite decades of research, there are currently no approved drug therapies specifically targeting the underlying inflammatory injury associated with HIE.Pegtarazimod represents a novel approach. Derived from a naturally occurring viral peptide, the therapy is designed to modulate two major upstream drivers of inflammatory damage - the complement system and neutrophil-mediated inflammation. Rather than focusing on a single downstream pathway, the strategy aims to intervene earlier in the inflammatory cascade that contributes to ongoing brain injury following hypoxic events.The company's ongoing Phase 2 STAR trial is currently evaluating pegtarazimod in newborns with moderate to severe HIE undergoing therapeutic hypothermia, which remains the current standard of care.In this conversation, we discuss:- the biology and clinical burden of HIE,- why past therapeutic approaches have struggled,- the scientific origins of pegtarazimod,- how virus-derived peptides may open new approaches to immune modulation,- and what success could ultimately mean for neonatal medicine and inflammatory disease more broadly.#NeonatalCare #HIE #HypoxicIschemicEncephalopathy #BrainInjury #NewbornHealth #Biotech #Inflammation #Neuroscience #NICU #DrugDevelopment #Pharma #HealthcareInnovation #ComplementSystem #Immunology #RareDisease #ClinicalTrials #Pediatrics #MedicalInnovation #ReAlta #HowardBerman #FutureOfMedicine #PrecisionMedicine #Neuroprotection #LifeSciences #ProgressPotentialPossibilitiesSupport the show
Send us Fan MailDr. Zubair Aghai, neonatologist at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, presents results from one of the largest neonatal trials ever conducted — enrolling 3,448 late preterm and term infants across India to test whether umbilical cord milking in non-vigorous newborns reduces death or moderate-to-severe HIE. With over 100,000 deliveries screened and real-time data collected by research staff present at every delivery around the clock, the primary outcome showed no short-term harm from cord milking — and a secondary signal of reduced infection risk, possibly driven by the immunoglobulins transferred with the extra blood. He also explains why non-vigorous babies stand to gain the most from this simple ten-second intervention, and previews two-year neurodevelopmental follow-up data still to come.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Send us Fan MailDr. Parvesh Garg, neonatologist and researcher specializing in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in preterm infants, shares more than a decade of work on two of the most understudied organ systems in the NICU. He explains why surgical NEC is an independent risk factor for long-term neurodevelopmental impairment, how aggressively managing hypotension at the time of diagnosis may protect both the brain and the kidneys, and why the severity of NEC-associated AKI should be used as a prognostic tool in counseling families. He also presents early but fascinating laboratory findings suggesting that low-dose dexamethasone — unlike high doses — may help limit intestinal epithelial loss once NEC has set in, drawing a parallel to what therapeutic hypothermia does for HIE: the event has happened, but the inflammatory cascade may still be containable.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Send us Fan MailDr. Seetha Shankaran one of the pioneers of therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and longtime member of the NICHD Neonatal Research Network, reflects on a career devoted to preventing and treating neonatal brain injury. She discusses what neonatal MRI can and cannot tell us about long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with HIE, why a normal MRI does not equal a normal future, and how the pattern of brain injury on imaging should shape the counseling conversation with families. She closes with a message that no imaging study can replace: consistent, long-term follow-up remains the most important tool we have.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Send us Fan MailThe AAP has weighed in on therapeutic hypothermia for HIE, and Daphna walks through the clinical report in full. The core eligibility criteria haven't moved — but the edges have gotten more nuanced. Late initiation, the 35-week zone, mild HIE, sentinel events, MRI timing, and feeding during cooling are all addressed.Also this week: a prospective pilot from Australia tests whether adding bedside ultrasound to plain radiography improves surgical risk stratification in NEC. The X-ray-only model couldn't separate the clusters. The combined model produced a more than six-fold difference in odds of surgery — complex ascites, absent peristalsis, and abnormal bowel perfusion did the heavy lifting.Daphna then covers F-NeoBright, a small but compelling feasibility study testing intranasal fresh breast milk in infants with moderate to severe HIE. Ten babies, high adherence, no safety signals, and parents administering doses at home.Ben rounds out Journal Club with the two-year follow-up of the CALI trial examining outcomes after early caffeine plus LISA versus CPAP alone. Mortality trended toward LISA. The statistics didn't get there — but the direction held.The week closes with Ben and Eli on the Guttmacher Institute study linking restrictive abortion laws to higher maternal mortality across two decades of US data.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Send us Fan MailIn this Journal Club episode, Daphna presents the F-NeoBright trial — a pilot feasibility and safety study out of Hungary exploring intranasal fresh breast milk administration in neonates with moderate to severe HIE undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. With so few adjunct therapies available beyond cooling, the idea of harnessing breast milk's rich bioactive components — including neurotrophic growth factors, cytokines, and multipotent stem cells — to support the developing brain is both compelling and refreshingly low-risk. Daphna walks us through the protocol, the feasibility outcomes, and why 100% of approached families consented, including those who had never planned to breastfeed.

Within minutes of arriving at the hospital, Brady and his wife were told their newborn daughter had suffered a severe brain injury. In this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital, Katie sits down with Brady Crandall, founder of Youth Crews, to share his family's journey following a diagnosis of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). What began as a routine pregnancy quickly turned into an emergency delivery, NICU stay, and a new reality as parents of a medically complex child. Brady opens up about: The shock and uncertainty of those early days Navigating life as a "medical dad." The balance of grief and joy that often coexist How early intervention and community shaped their path Through this experience, Brady recognized a gap many families face: a lack of dignified, age-appropriate products for children with disabilities. That realization led to the creation of Youth Crews—a brand focused on comfort, dignity, and rethinking what medical products can look like for kids. If you've ever found yourself wishing something existed to better support your child—or felt the pull to create change—this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood, and inspired.

In this powerful episode, Ruby shares her story of birth trauma, medical dismissal, and her daughter Rumi's diagnosis of HIE (hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy). Ruby walks us through being sent home multiple times while in labor, giving birth to a baby who was not breathing, surviving a life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage, and navigating the NICU and devastating uncertainty that followed. This conversation also names the role of racism and bias in women's health, especially toward Indigenous and other marginalized parents, and how being ignored, minimized, and not believed can have life-altering consequences for both parent and baby.In this episode, we talk about:
Vom Låden und vom Leben Nummer 37 - Åldeisn (...wie immer zum hören und mitlesen oder lesen und mithören, ganz wie ihr wollt) Vom Låden und vom Leben (audiofile #37: Åldeisn) Servus ihr Liem dord draußn Heud mach ich genau dess, was ihr vo mir erwardn dud, wenn ich mei Halbjahresbeschdellung ferdich hab. Also ned ausschlieslich des, wassder vo mir erwardd dud. Also meggern. Eichndlich will ich euch verzähl, dass dess für mich alles immer mehr a fremde Weld wird. Also werbål, awer ehm ned blos. Desweechn fang ich edz amål mid denne Neolochismen a. Also als erschdes Beischbiel. Mei fränggischs Owerschdüble is desweeng in derre ledzdn Zeid ganz schö neis schwitzn komm. Awer eds, wos rum iss, kann ich mei neu erlerndes Wissn mid euch deil. Jede Menge neue Wörder habb ich glerrnd. Also echd, ich hald mich ja eichndlich für relladief elogwend. Mid an zimmlich grousn Wordschadz. Als ned blos im Fränggischn, ah im Hochdeutsch. Drodzdem hädd ich bald a Wörderbuch brauchd. Bis ich gschnalld hab, dass ich die meisdn vo denne Wörder eefach ausm angelsächsischn ableid kå. "Häit du Laff" bedeuded, dass zwä Leud sich eichndlich üwerhaubd ned möch du, awer die Hormönlie a annersch Drehbuch gschriem hamm. Des wird dann ah gern a weng "ssbeissie", also seggsuell aufglådn. Da gibbds sogår a "Ssbeiss Skala". Meisdns vo eins bis fünf. Und wenn des nacherd a fünf is, wirds schon ganz schö eggsblizzid. Früher hädd mer gsåchd bornograffisch und häddns unnerm Lådndisch verkäff müss. Heud isses "ssbeissie" und auf derre Schbieglbesdsellerlisdn druff. "Häit du Laff" kann a innerer "Forsd Broggsimmidie" vorkomm. Also wenn Leud unner Zwang beinanner sin. Früher hammer des geechn n Willn verheierd gnannd und dass dess scho alles gud werrn wirrd war des dumme Gschmarri vo derre Mudder, der wos früher genauso ganggn is, wo des also eichndlich hädd besser wiss müss. Gsåchd haddse dess aus sonerer Ård fadalisdischer Schigglichkeidshörichkeid. War a schönner Scheiß, wo mir in meiner Generazion eichndlich froh drüwer wårn, dassmer die Zeidn üwerwunne hamm. Heud isses irchndwie seggsie und anscheinend so was wie a verloggende Fandasie. Na ja, wie auch immer. Ich habs verschdanne. "Ennemies to Laffers" is üwrichns im Brinnzibb des gleiche. Also glebb ich. Meisdens is der Grund dafür, dass die Hormönli vo denne weiblichn Haubdkaraggdären durchenanner bring, irchnd so a Alfamännle, midn Körrber wie enner vonnen Dschibbndäils unnem Karraggder vonnem astreine Oaschloch. Der is dann zum Beischbiel a Verbrecher vo der Maffia, a richdich böser Feldherr vo denne Geechnern, wo des ganze Volgg vo der Heldin ausrodd woll, oder was wäss ich. Da schdehd nacherd noch immer dabei, dass die sich endscheid muss, zwischn dem Wohl und Wehe vo ihrm Volgg und ihrem Herzen. Ich glebb eher, dass des net so viel midn Herzn zum dun hadd, sonndern eher mid die unnerdrüggdn Hormönli. Awer ich bin ja blos a Kerl, der wo vo sowas kei Ahnung hab kå oder dörff. Awer es is nedd immer so bös. Ab und an isses a "kosie" also liebenswerd und innerer Wohlfühlwelld. Oder des ganze is enne "Romm Komm", also a rommandische Kommödie. "Grammbie x grammbie" oder "grammbie sannschein" is nacherd Gschmaggsach. Kann a "slou börn" sei, wenn die dess gemüdlich åhgeh lassn. Gibds dann ofd als "Hie folls försd", wenn der "Emm Emm Sie" also der männliche Haubdkaraggder sich scho längsd nei die Broddagonisdin verliebd hadd. Gibbds a als "Hie foll harrder", also nedd bloos zuerschd, sondern a noch heffdich, beziehungsweise heffdicher. Des nennd mer nacherd "obsessd", also sozmsåch besessen oder zumindessd bruddål fogussierd. Neben den grimminellen Oarschlöchern und feindlichen Desboodn gibbds awer a Hoggeischbieler, Feuerwehrleud, Subberstaars, oder a Leud ausm Hochådl, also "Roiels". Glebbds mer, es gibbd nix, wasses ned gibbd. Und kee ennzicher Verlåch, wo nedd sei Soddimend nei die Richdung verschobn hadd. Du liesd diese Begriffli also immer wieder und nach denne zwei Wochn indensiefer Beschäfdichung sin die nei mein Schbrachgebrauch üwergegangen. Was awer noch dazu komm dud, sind die Werbeschbrüchli. "Bewechende Übsilon A Sdorrie", also für junge Erwaxene. Wobei ich mich an derre Schdelle a fraach, wie jung die sein dürffn mid denne bornografischn Inhåldn und gleichzeidich, wie lang mer a junger Erwaxener iss? Dabei fallen denne Werbedexdern Deemen wie "Mendll Hells", "Embauermennd" als Werbeslougen ein. Also ich du mir da in dem Zusammenhang schwer. Was mir auf jedn Fall gloar is, is dass der fast schon putzig anmudende Versuch, einiger konserfadieferer Verlåche, dess ganze serjös zum verbagg, denne hibbn Formulierungen nedd schdaddhald kå. "Ssbeissie Enimies tu Laffers" is eefach vielsåchnder, wie "Zeitgenössische Liebesromane" und ich glebb, dass dess in a boar Jährli a kenner mehr verschdeh wird.

Send us a textCould a simple blood test help identify chronic pulmonary hypertension when echo access is limited? This week on The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna explore this question and others relevant to daily NICU practice. A Toronto study examines NT-proBNP as a practical diagnostic tool in extremely preterm infants.They also examine a puzzling finding from Italy and Belgium: despite near-universal antibiotic use in neonates with HIE undergoing cooling, actual culture-positive sepsis rates are surprisingly low. What does this mean for our approach to empiric antibiotics?Ben presents Norwegian data showing that serial physical exams cut antibiotic exposure in half for term and late preterm infants—without compromising safety. Daphna follows with research connecting NICU capacity strain to patient outcomes, underscoring why adequate staffing isn't just about comfort, but about survival.The episode concludes with Ben, Daphna, and Eli discussing the recent CDC changes to Hepatitis B birth dose recommendations. With federal guidance now diverging from AAP recommendations, how do we navigate conversations with families? They explore transmission risks parents may overlook and share approaches to shared decision-making when expert opinions conflict.

A world-first demonstration combining tidal power, battery storage and hydrogen production has been completed at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, Scotland. Led by EMEC, the demonstration successfully integrated three technologies - Orbital Marine Power's O2 tidal turbine, vanadium flow batteries supplied by Invinity Energy Systems, and an ITM Power 670 kW electrolyser, at EMEC's onshore site on the island of Eday. EMEC completes 3-in-1 tidal energy, hydrogen and battery demonstration Multiple energy flow scenarios were trialled. During high generation periods, power from the O2 was used to charge the battery system, supply electricity directly to the electrolyser and export power to the grid. When tidal generation was low, the battery system discharged power to the electrolyser to keep the electrolyser operating. This approach effectively smoothed out the cyclical nature of tidal energy, enabling on-demand electricity to power the electrolyser for hydrogen production. In addition, battery power was used to support operations at EMEC's onshore Caldale site. This is the first time globally that tidal power, vanadium flow battery storage and hydrogen production technologies have been integrated into a single energy system. This approach could help overcome future grid constraints and open up new offtake opportunities, paving the way for more resilient, responsive renewable energy systems. All planned operational scenarios were completed, demonstrating the flexibility of the integrated system. Additional safety mitigation measures were put in place during the demonstration and proved effective. As an example, the team responded to an electrolyser trip within seconds to prevent a full site shutdown. The demonstration validated the 3-in-1 concept, highlighted areas for improvement such as battery management and electrolyser controls, and underscored the value of increased automation to minimise human error and enhance system reliability. The demonstration was part of the Interreg North-West Europe funded project, ITEG, which explored how tidal and hydrogen production could be combined as a solution in coastal areas to overcome grid constraints. It has also been supported with funding from Scottish Government via Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and by the EU-funded FORWARD2030 project which has completed detailed monitoring study into how to optimise the integration of tidal energy and battery storage with hydrogen and other offtake routes. Graeme Harrison, Head of Marine Energy at Highlands and Islands Enterprise, said: "HIE and Scottish Government are pleased to have supported the deployment of innovative technologies at EMEC which have combined in this ground-breaking demonstration. "The project illustrates how the highly predictable flows of power from tidal streams can be successfully harnessed in a variety of forms to meet the energy needs of business and communities throughout Scotland and beyond." Leonore Van Velzen, Operations and Maintenance Manager at EMEC said: "This world-first demonstration represents the culmination of years of effort to integrate tidal energy, battery storage and hydrogen production. Bringing together three innovative technologies was a complex challenge, but reaching this milestone has provided invaluable insights. "Running all planned scenarios, responding swiftly to an electrolyser trip and identifying opportunities for greater automation have given us a clear roadmap for optimising future systems. The trial also highlights an alternative pathway for tidal energy in scenarios where grid export capacity is limited, a likely feature in the future as we transition to a fully renewable energy system. "Building on our practical experience with hydrogen, we're now exploring other offtake routes such as synthetic fuel production using renewable hydrogen as a feedstock, a practical solution to decarbonise hard-to-electrify sectors like aviation and maritime. This is especially relev...
Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Anson and Dr. Luke Viehl from the CHNC Transport Focus Group discuss establishing consensus definitions for emergent neonatal transports across North American NICUs. Using a modified Delphi process, they surveyed 48 CHNC sites on diagnoses, clinical signs, and specialized equipment, achieving over 80% consensus in all categories. Standardized criteria aim to improve timely stabilization, support resource allocation, and facilitate advocacy with hospital administrators and insurers. Practical implications include guiding training, optimizing transport team composition, and integrating with initiatives such as therapeutic hypothermia for HIE. This work lays the foundation for research, system-level improvements, and safer, more equitable neonatal transport practices.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Send us a textIn this week's Journal Club, Ben and Daphna unpack a series of recent studies exploring outcomes in neonatology—from long-term mortality after severe neonatal morbidity to short-term feeding strategies in preterm infants.They open with a large population-based Swedish study showing that infants who experience severe neonatal morbidities face elevated mortality risks well into adolescence—especially those with neurological complications. The discussion highlights how early-life diagnoses carry weight far beyond the NICU, and how long-term support systems may not be fully equipped to manage that risk.Next, the hosts examine a small German crossover trial on prone positioning, revealing that even simple changes in posture may cut hypoxemic episodes in half. They follow this with a randomized trial comparing dopamine and norepinephrine for neonatal septic shock, a data-heavy look at the nuanced physiology behind first-line interventions.The episode rounds out with studies on cold milk for feeding dysphagia, late-onset sepsis risk with hydrocortisone, the impact of tele-neonatology on cooling time in HIE, and a new meta-analysis on kangaroo care's role in reducing infection.It's a pragmatic, fast-paced overview of recent literature shaping how we care for vulnerable newborns.

In this episode of The Dish on Health IT, host Tony Schueth sits down with two of the industry's sharpest minds leading the charge to fix one of health IT's most persistent headaches: digital consent management. Janice Reese, Senior Consultant at Point-of-Care Partners and Program Manager for the FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST), and Mohammad Jafari, Co-Lead of FAST's Consent Work, offer an unflinching look at why consent is still so messy—and what it'll take to make it scalable, interoperable, and actually work for patients.The conversation kicks off with a reality check. While the question “Who can access what data and when?” might sound simple, it quickly falls apart in practice. Consent today is often paper-based, fragmented, non-interoperable, and rarely computable. Mohammad explains how even digitized forms—often scanned PDFs—are barely better than paper when it comes to machine-readability and cross-system portability. The burden lands on both sides: patients are stuck filling out redundant forms at every touchpoint, and providers face access barriers that can delay or limit care.But the episode isn't just a critique, it's a roadmap forward. Janice and Mohammad walk listeners through how FAST is approaching consent differently. Rather than focusing on the content of specific consents (like for research or behavioral health), the team is building a foundational infrastructure: a FHIR-based implementation guide that supports core consent operations, like requesting and revoking consent, delegating authority, and syncing consent decisions with digital identity and security frameworks. In other words, FAST is working on the plumbing that everyone else can build on.What sets this work apart is its real-world grounding. The team has prioritized broad stakeholder input through public calls and is actively incorporating lessons from pilot participants. Janice highlights that many organizations don't even know where to start—some have APIs, patient portals, or identity systems in place, but lack a cohesive strategy for managing consent. That's where FAST can help, not just with standards but with education and architectural guidance.The discussion also tackles the elephant in the room: policy fragmentation. With states having vastly different rules—sometimes even conflicting ones within the same region—scaling consent can feel impossible. But rather than trying to standardize policy, FAST is focused on standardizing structure. That means creating frameworks flexible enough to accommodate policy differences without hardcoding for each new rule change. Mohammad notes this kind of flexibility is key to making systems resilient and future-proof.Both guests agree that the time to act is now. Technology has matured, regulators are engaged, and public expectations for privacy and control over personal data are higher than ever. As Janice puts it, the stars are aligning. With CMS showing growing interest in digital identity and consent, and with FAST's security IG set to be required for FHIR under TEFCA in 2026, organizations can't afford to sit this one out.Whether you're a health plan, HIE, health tech vendor, or public health department, this episode makes one thing clear: scalable, patient-centered consent management isn't just possible—it's already underway. And FAST is laying the groundwork.To get involved, attend a public call (2nd & 4th Fridays at 1:00 Central/2:00 Eastern), reach out to Janice directly at janice.reese@pocp.com, or contact the team at fast@hl7.org. Now's the time to shape the future of consent—before it shapes you.

Another day, another tough challenge for our host. This week Ben gives it his best shot in a Bob Wills themed fashion contest. Bob Wills, known to have reigned over Tulsa's Cain's Ballroom along with his band The Texas Playboys during the 1930s and '40s, was and remains an influential icon of Western chic style. Hie reputation as a sharp dresser is so strong that this year they introduced a fashion contest during the annual Bob Wills Day celebration at the Oklahoma State Capitol. Ben is far from a ten-galloned fashionisto, but he is a bolo tie lover with a feel for style that can be best described as . . . marginally above average. Will that be enough to win the inaugural Bob WIlls fashion competition? Probably not, but let's find out. Also on this week's episode, the editors try their best to describe their own fashion styles, and podvents tells Mom where to find the sweetest cruise in town this Mother's Day.
In this powerful episode honoring HIE Awareness Month, Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Jessica Fulton shares the raw and emotional story of her son Bo's birth — a delivery marked by unexpected complications that led to a diagnosis of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE). Jessica opens up about what it was like to watch her own son become a critical patient in the very NICU where she had worked for years — as her personal and professional worlds suddenly collided. She speaks candidly about the shocking helplessness she felt as a parent, despite her medical background, and the lifelong challenges that continue to follow: a cerebral palsy diagnosis, fierce advocacy, intensive therapies, emotional isolation, and the realities of parenting a child with complex needs. This episode is a must-listen for NICU parents, healthcare providers, and anyone supporting a family navigating the lifelong impact of HIE.
