David Game remembers the days when the use of digital technology in education publishing amounted to putting a dictionary on a compact disc. Now, as the senior vice president of Product Management, Global Medical Education at Elsevier, he oversees a suite of learning materials that use artificial intelligence, virtual reality and 3-D modeling. “We've expanded into immersive technology with Apple Vision Pro that enables you to be inside the human body, to see and explore the human heart from the inside out and it is absolutely stunning,” says Game, whose long career in publishing includes experience in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, China and India. As Game has witnessed first-hand, advancements in ed tech, including distance learning, have provided students with an array of options and modalities to choose from that accommodate different learning styles and life circumstances, and that puts a premium on being able to meet students where they are. “We want to make sure that students find learning from our materials engaging, efficient, and aligned with how they live their lives and do their work.” Join host Lindsey Smith for this fascinating episode of Raise the Line to learn how Elsevier is leveraging the innovations offered by Osmosis, Complete Anatomy and ClinicalKey Student to enrich the learning of medical students on their journey to becoming excellent clinicians.Mentioned in this Episode:Complete AnatomyClinicalKey StudentOsmosis If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Inspired by his experiences and the system he developed, he now aids others in navigating their traumas, emphasizing that small, actionable steps can lead to substantial life changes.Empowering Others Through Experience: Nick's story is not just one of survival but of thriving beyond trauma and using his insights to empower others.Nick Prefontaine's story is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the profound impact of community support, inner trust, and relentless perseverance.

Information Morning's healthcare columnist Mary Jane Hampton has advice on how to best provide feedback for your or a family member's experience in a Nova Scotia Hospital.

Rena Barrow has two kids with CF, Jarrod is 22 and Jahsir is 3 years old. Over the years she's witnessed a discrepancy in care for people of color.  Even after her 22 year old son was diagnosed, doctors weren't sure her newborn baby had CF, They told her, "Maybe it was sickle cell."  She fought until her son Jahsir was properly diagnosed. The delay in diagnosis took a toll on her little guy.  When he ate he was always in pain (not prescribed enzymes until diagnosis) so now he has an aversion to food. Rena is motivated by her personal and avoidable situation to raise awareness so others don't go through what she did.Their experience with diagnosis of CF is sadly still too common. Between 2001 and 2005 they tried to figure out what health condition their son had. They were accused of not feeding him or caring for him properly prior to his diagnosed.Rena is speaking out for black, indigenous and people of color or BIOPIC.To get in contact with Rena: twosaltyokes@gmail.comPlease consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website: https://thebonnellfoundation.orgBonnell Foundation email: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.comThanks to our sponsors:Genentech: https://www.gene.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en Please like, subscribe, and comment on our shows, wherever you get your podcasts.Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Thanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comGenentech: https://www.gene.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

This episode features Ellis Slotman (Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation (IKNL), Utrecht, the Netherlands)  What is already known about the topic? Potentially inappropriate end-of-life care in patients with cancer is still common. The COVID-19 pandemic has been shown to affect cancer diagnosis and treatment, but evidence on how the pandemic has affected end-of-life care is limited.   What this paper adds? The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with less potentially inappropriate care at the end of life in patients with cancer.  The decline in potentially inappropriate end-of-life care was driven by fewer hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions in the last month of life and fewer hospital deaths.   Implications for practice, theory, or policy The findings of this study raise important questions as to which pandemic related changes in end-of-life care delivery and decision making might be able to contribute to appropriate end-of-life care for future patients.  Ensuring that awareness for triaging and advance care planning is maintained after the pandemic may be of great importance in this regard.  Full paper available from:     https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02692163231217373  If you would like to record a podcast about your published (or accepted) Palliative Medicine paper, please contact Dr Amara Nwosu:  a.nwosu@lancaster.ac.uk

Of the one million people living with Parkinson's disease (PD) in the United States, nearly one-third of them will have a hospital encounter each year. When hospitalized, three out of four people with PD will not receive their medications on time, possibly leading to worsening symptoms, medical emergencies, and a significantly increased length of stay, greatly increasing costs to the medical system overall.   To address this problem, the Parkinson's Foundation developed key tools and resources for patients and providers. Today's guest, Peter Pronovost, MD, PhD, a major force in advancing hospital safety, helped develop recommendations for making hospitals safer for people with PD, which includes standards of care. Dr. Pronovost practices critical care medicine and is Chief Quality Officer and Chief Clinical Transformation Officer at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment of nurse practitioners is projected to grow 52% from 2019 to 2029. This growth is attributed to the increasing demand for healthcare services, particularly in primary care and rural settings, where many Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioners (AG-PCNPs) work. Have you ever wondered about the magic behind AG-PCNPs and their amazing services? These licensed and certified professionals are out there making a difference in countless communities. But why should a nurse go the extra mile to become a nurse practitioner? Tune in to the latest episode of This Is Getting Old: Moving Towards An Age-Friendly World, where we'll welcome two nursing superstars in clinical care of older adults: Margaret Venzke and Laurie Wilson! These women know how to make our world a more welcoming and accommodating place for all ages. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Laurie Dodge Wilson: A Source of Experience and Guidance for Nursing Students Laurie Dodge Wilson, NP, has been practicing clinically since 1995. She joined the George Washington University (GW) School of Nursing (SON) in December 2012. She brings her wealth of clinical experience into her teaching and competency development in the Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Program. In 2020 and 2021, she advocated for older adults by serving on GW Medical Faculty Associates (MFA) COVID-19 task force, securing testing and immunizations. That same year, she earned her certification in clinical simulation. ✔️ A True DC Native: 28 Years of Teaching and Clinical Practice with Dr. Maggie Hadro Venzke  Dr. Maggie Hadro Venzke has held faculty appointments at multiple universities, teaching in graduate nurse practitioner programs for over 28 years. Her clinical/research interests include fall prevention in the elderly, immunizations, infectious disease prevention, and best teaching practices in virtual online graduate NP education.

Thanks, shurx, for this review on iTunes entitled “Prepare to Learn.” Shurx wrote: “[RHV] provides key insight from experts that you won't find anywhere else. It paints the picture of how our healthcare is tangled, and who benefits because of it. Whether it's drug pricing, PBM shenanigans, hospital billing, or market trends that are challenging the status quo, this podcast is worth your time. I've shared many of the episodes with my pharmacy colleagues who have replied, ‘I didn't know that's how it worked.' Now they do thanks to Stacey and her team.” I wanted to kick off this particular show with this review because today we are again digging into the business of hospital care in this country. That's actually how Sanat Dixit, MD, MBA, FACS, put it on LinkedIn recently. He said some of the hospitals these days aren't in the healthcare business; they're in the hospital care business. And when I say some hospitals, I mean some people in decision-making roles at some hospitals. There was an opinion piece in the New York Times the other day by Eric Reinhart, and here's my highlight from his essay. He writes, “But the burnout rhetoric misses the larger issue in this case: What's burning out health care workers is less the grueling conditions we practice under, and more our dwindling faith in the systems for which we work.” Relentless Health Value is here so that our Relentless Tribe has the information that you need to influence what goes on in some of the boardrooms where some of these decisions are being made. With that, let's move on. You know why my guest, Brennan Bilberry, got into his current line of work battling hospital chain anticompetitive practices? He got into it because this behavior, which is normalized in healthcare, would never be tolerated in any other sector of the economy. No one would get away with it because these anticompetitive practices are, hey, anticompetitive. They spell the death of functioning markets. We kick off our conversation, Brennan and I, going through the typical hospital system consolidation playbook and how anticompetitive practices are kinda part of the typical gig here. It's quite clever, by the way, for hospital system executives to think this way. I mean, it's illicit and, some would say, unethical but clever if your main metric is revenue maximization. Anticompetitive contract terms are, after all, a flywheel. You consolidate to get enough market power to effectively force everyone to sign your anticompetitive contracts. And then step two: After that, you break out your anticompetitive contract terms spatula and you scrape out any remaining competition from your area. Which leads you to step three: Rub your hands together and raise prices and donate to politicians so legislation becomes even less likely. And then step four: Continue to raise your prices. Don't you love it when a plan comes together? In this healthcare podcast with Brennan Bilberry, we talk about four contract terms that any self-respecting anticompetitive hospital contract should include and how each of them restricts competition unfairly and causes higher prices for communities, taxpayers, patients, employers … basically everybody, including people who work at the health system, who wind up needing medical care. In a nutshell, here's the four anticompetitive contract terms that we dig into in this episode: All-or-nothing contracting, wherein a hospital system says if you want us in your network, you must include every single facility that we have in your network and at the monopoly-level prices we demand, even in areas that might be competitive. There is a reason why a hospital system might be all hachi machi to buy a rando not super profitable hospital in a rural area. The payer must include that hospital in their network then because of network adequacy or whatever. And then from then on, all of their care settings are now in network—even the lower-quality ones—and all of them at the highest prices. And there's no price negotiation that's possible after that. Anti-steering and anti-tiering clauses: This means that a payer/ASO (administrative services organization)/TPA (third-party administrator)/plan sponsor cannot steer members to lower-cost or higher-quality hospitals, nor can it offer benefit designs that have tiers (ie, lower co-pays if a member goes to specified high-value hospitals). So, any chance of using consumerism or navigation as a way to get members to better places is just eviscerated by this little move. Pricing gag clauses: It's when contract terms prohibit an ASO/TPA from telling its plan sponsor customers or members what the price of services are before (or sometimes even after) the service is rendered, claiming it's important to not let employers or patients know these costs because revealing actual prices will [checks notes] cause hospital prices to go up. I'm speechlessly mystified by this logic, but OK … I only have a bachelor's in economics. Contract terms that restrict other providers in the market: So, a dominant hospital uses admitting privileges or referrals or other leverage to effectively control other providers in the market, including providers who are ostensibly independent. So, while the market may look dynamic, it is really not. Some links to interesting articles and posts and other episodes related to this topic: Definitely listen to the shows with Mike Thompson (EP389) and also the one with Chris Skisak and Gloria Sachdev (EP390). We talk about market dynamics and hospital legislation in these two shows, which are, frankly, the best ways to get rid of hospital systems' ability to hold their communities and other local providers hostage with some of this strong arming. Here's a link to an article I was thinking about while recording this show about Daran Gaus's hypothesis for how mergers will impact hospital prices. And here's a link to an article about how commercial prices for outpatient visits were 26% higher for patients receiving care at a health system than those visiting non-system physicians and hospitals. Another episode I mentioned when Brennan and I discussed the consequences of some of these anticompetitive contract terms is the one with Cora Opsahl (EP373). I also reference the episode with Dale Folwell, treasurer in North Carolina (EP249). One last link is to the conversation I had with Dr. Scott Conard (EP391), where the local hospital bought a local ACO (accountable care organization) physician organization and the community paid an additional $100 million to the hospital the following year. My guest in this healthcare podcast as aforementioned is Brennan Bilberry, who is a founding partner over at Fairmark Partners, which is a law firm litigating some of these antitrust lawsuits against some of these hospital chains. You can learn more at fairmarklaw.com.  Brennan Bilberry is a founding partner of Fairmark Partners, LLP, a law firm focused on fair competition issues, especially in the healthcare industry. Fairmark has filed numerous antitrust cases against dominant hospital systems, seeking to tackle anticompetitive practices that lead to higher prices for businesses, consumers, and unions. Prior to founding Fairmark, Brennan worked as a policy consultant and political operative whose work included overseeing environmental public policy campaigns in numerous countries, providing international political intelligence for US investors, advising political campaigns around the world, and designing consumer and legal advertising. Brennan also worked on numerous US political campaigns, including serving as communications director for Terry McAuliffe's 2013 successful campaign for Virginia governor, serving as deputy executive director of the 2012 pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA, and developing research and policy communications for the House Democrats. Brennan is a native of Montana and South Dakota and has lived in Washington, DC, for the past 15 years.   06:16 What happens after a hospital consolidates? 07:23 What does an anticompetitive system look like when a hospital consolidates? 10:13 Tricia Schildhouse on LinkedIn. 10:35 What are some anticompetitive “tricks” that hospitals employ? 12:37 The Sutter case in northern California. 14:50 What can you do if you're forced to engage in an all-or-nothing contract with a hospital system? 18:31 The Atrium case in North Carolina. 19:36 EP373 with Cora Opsahl. 21:33 What are price gag clauses? 23:08 How are legacy gag clauses designed to prevent scrutiny in litigation? 24:04 EP249 with Dale Folwell. 26:08 How do hospital restrictions on other providers create an anticompetitive environment? 27:23 EP391 with Scott Conard, MD. 29:48 EP389 with Mike Thompson or EP390 with Gloria Sachdev and Chris Skisak.   You can learn more at fairmarklaw.com.   @brbilberry discusses #hospital #anticompetitive practices on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #hospitals #hospitalsystems #anticompetitivepractices Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

Acute Care for Elders (ACE Units) have been around for over a quarter of a century. Randomized trials of ACE units date back to 1996 when Seth Landefeld and colleagues published a study in NEJM showing that they improve basic activities of daily living at discharge and can reduce the frequency of discharge to long-term care institutions.  But if ACE units are so great, why do so few hospitals have them? On today's podcast we talk about ACE units with geriatricians Kellie Flood and Stephanie Rogers.  They recently published a paper in JAGS looking at the current landscape of ACE units in the US. In the podcast we go over these issues and more: What are ACE units and what structural elements go into them (see the picture below for a nice summary)?  Which patients are eligible to go to an ACE unit? What are the benefits of an ACE unit? If ACE units are so great, why are they not so common?  What does the future look like for ACE units and how does it differ (if at all) from Age Friendly Health Systems? If you want to do a deeper dive in ACE units, check out some of the following articles: The original NEJM paper on ACE units from 1996 Kellie Flood's paper in JAMA IM showing that not only ACE units deliver better care, but also help with the hospitals bottom line

America today woke to news of yet another mass shooting, this time at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia, on the eve of the Thanksgiving holiday. That makes two mass shootings in Virginia this month, and seven in America in the past seven days – including the weekend killings at an LGBTQ club in Colorado. This summer, President Biden signed the first major gun safety bill in nearly three decades, but any further developments on this front are unlikely – particularly with the Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives in January. Representative Jim Clyburn joins the show to discuss all this, and the upcoming transition of power within the Democratic caucus.  Also on today's show: Author Yuval Noah Harari; Dr. Daniel Rauch, Chair, American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Hospital Care.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
