Welcome back to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast, Dr. Sarah Smith is joined by special guest Sue Peters. Sue is an expert in optimizing teams and systems for better patient care in family medicine. They discuss the importance of distributing responsibility among a team that supports each other, the need for standard processes in clinics, and the role of practice facilitators in implementing sustainable models of clinical medicine. They also dive into the issue of workload management, the benefits of electronic medical records, and the value of team members working to their full potential. Join us for an enlightening conversation on enhancing patient care through effective team building in clinical medicine. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: 1️⃣ Distributing Responsibility: Sue emphasized the importance of distributing responsibility among a supportive team. Building a strong team takes time, but it's crucial for progress. 2️⃣ Investing in Primary Care Teams: We discussed the significance of investing in primary care teams and funding those positions. By lightening team members' workload and delegating non-physician tasks, we can create capacity and space to focus on tasks that truly make a difference to patients and provider workload. 3️⃣ Collaboration and Quality Improvement: Engaging with someone who has quality improvement methodology and practice facilitation is crucial. Practice facilitators are available in different jurisdictions and can help teams develop capacity for improvement. By constantly identifying issues, discussing solutions, and implementing consistent plans, we can gradually improve patient care and create a better working environment for healthcare providers.

The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement.   BRITTANY HARVEY: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines Podcast Series brought to you by the ASCO Podcast Network, a collection of nine programs covering a range of educational and scientific content and offering enriching insight into the world of cancer care. You can find all the shows, including this one, at podcast.asco.org.   My name is Brittany Harvey, and today I'm interviewing Kim Woofter, RN from the Advanced Centers for Cancer Care in South Bend, Indiana, and John Cox, DO, MBA, from UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, co-chairs on Oncology Medical Homes, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and Community Oncology Alliance Standards. Thank you for being here, Ms. Woofter and Dr. Cox.   JOHN COX: You bet.   KIM WOOFTER: Thank you for having us.   BRITTANY HARVEY: I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its standards and ensuring that the ASCO conflict of interest policy is followed. The full conflict of interest information for the expert panel is available online with the publication of the standards in JCO Oncology Practice. Ms. Woofter, do you have any relevant disclosures that are directly related to these standards?   KIM WOOFTER: No, I don't have anything to disclose.   BRITTANY HARVEY: Thank you. And Dr. Cox, do you have any relevant disclosures that are related to these standards?   JOHN COX: I do not.   BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. Then let's talk a little bit about these standards. So first, can you give us a general overview of the purpose and scope of these standards for the Oncology Medical Home or OMH model?   KIM WOOFTER: Sure. I'll start this one out. The purpose was to collaboratively define a care delivery system with a standardized set of expectations and goals, and it all centered around the delivery of high quality, cost-effective care. And one of the reasons this is so important to all of us right now is to be ready for value-based care. We all need to really have a care delivery system that's patient-centric and has a standardized set for all of us to follow. Dr. Cox, do you see this any differently, or what would you have to say?   JOHN COX: No, I think you've said it well, Kim. I think one of the challenges we all have when we talk about Oncology Medical Home or a system of care is to be challenged to address that question in a simple answer. I would give the predicate that we have had a blossoming of the complexity of oncology care in our science, yet one of the thorny issues that faces oncology practice is how do we equitably and efficiently provide quality oncology care.   And if you were to challenge many clinicians to define how they provide quality oncology care, you get diverse opinions about that. The Oncology Medical Home certification program and the system of care that Kim highlighted attempts to put forward a comprehensive set of standards that helps us define what quality oncology care looks like and to answer those questions in care delivery.   BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. Then, given that scope, what are the key statements made by the expert panel in these standards?   JOHN COX: I'll take a stab at that, but also offer a little bit of insight into the development of Oncology Medical Home. We actually had some 20 years of history with different medical home certification programs to draw on, including significant contributions by oncologists who have worked in different programs to help define what Oncology Medical Home is. So when we took on this project, a collaborative project between ASCO and the Community Oncology Alliance, COA, we drew upon that great history of previous certification programs.   These programs focused on different aspects of care delivery, including aspects that are focused on improving patient engagement and access to practice, ensuring that evidence-based medicine is provided in a practice, looking at how quality is measured and how that feedback is given to practices and how that feedback is used to have quality improvement programs, focusing on palliative and end-of-life care, and addressing one of the unique features of medical oncology delivery, which is the delivery of chemotherapy and how we do that safely. So this was a very comprehensive set of standards. Kim, I don't know if you want to add to this.   KIM WOOFTER: No, I think you stated that very well. And the piece that I really love about this project, and what we focused heavily on, is the equitable delivery of care. We all fundamentally believe that every cancer patient deserves and has the right to high quality, cost-effective care, and this was just the baseline. And I think Dr. Cox explained it very well, that one of the key elements is the quality improvement process, or the re-evaluation continually of how we deliver care, the outcomes of care, the patient satisfaction with that care.   So as we developed this, we knew this was just the foundation. This is the starting point. We've brought some unity around the discussion. We've used evidence to come up with these standards and really defined what's gone on prior to this time. And what's exciting is this is just the beginning of what will evolve over the years to come.   BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. It sounds like this is a really comprehensive document. So I'm reading through the standards. It looks like there's a little bit of a deeper dive on two subcomponents of the OMH model-- first, clinical pathways, and second, survivorship care plans. How do the standards address these two?   JOHN COX: Oh, I'll dive in first again. And not to step on Kim at all about this, but many of the listeners to this podcast will be very familiar with ASCO guideline development. And the traditional clinical guidelines are completely infused and based on an evaluation of what the evidence base is. Care delivery is a bit more complex. Much of care delivery focuses on best practices that have been learned in practice through trial and error-- observation, if you will.   So many of the standards that are in Oncology Medical Home certifications are really based on best practices. However, we knew that we would be challenged to evaluate those standards that had significant cost or significant resource dedication in a practice. If we were going to build those aspects of a certification program forward as being a best practice in a care delivery model, we would need to justify, or at least examine, what evidence base is present to show that it had value.   Two of the most consequential standards that are going to require significant resource development by any practice is the measurement of evidence base through a pathway program. The other one was the significant discussion that has been around survivorship and survivorship care plans. So those two areas of the standards we took a deep dive in in this process. Kim, do you want to add to this?   KIM WOOFTER: Yeah. I really appreciate Dr. Cox's description. He's spot on, as always. I think having managed to practice myself for many, many years, the struggle with the implementation of a clinical pathway program and survivorship care plans or for survivorship program have always been somewhat difficult. And what I love about the standards is we clearly define that pathways are no longer a homegrown list of what I like to do or how I like to treat. It is absolutely evidence-based. Your pathways have to truly reflect the importance of clinical research and what that has done to lead up to the intelligence of that delivery.   What I think is so important, too, is ASCO still did a little bit of work and set the pathway for us on this in that it needs to be a comprehensive list. It needs to have systematic review. We have to demonstrate adherence to pathways and also document when somebody goes off a pathway. And I think that's very important as you manage a practice and as you prepare for this delivery system. It's no longer what we do in the back room. It's very well-defined and very measurable.   As far as survivor care plans, I love that we have migrated a little bit on this standard. I think the nation has migrated. Over the years-- and I'll include the COC in this discussion. Originally, it was check the box, have a survivorship care plan and a visit to explain what the future would look like. And we now know that isn't the best way to handle survivorship.   Patient satisfaction and outcomes are much better when we have a survivorship program. And that's what the standard calls out. It is not just a care plan or a piece of paper. It is support. It is ongoing evaluation of the patient. It's integration with the primary care and when to transition back to primary care. So what's exciting is it is now a program versus just a care plan.   BRITTANY HARVEY: Thank you both for explaining the evidence-based reasoning behind those two components. So then you've both noted earlier the importance of these standards for quality oncology care. So why are these standards important, and how will their implementation impact clinicians?   KIM WOOFTER: I'll jump in to why I think they're important-- and I think the whole industry, the whole ecosystem of oncology care thinks they're important-- is we need standardization. We need real, evidence-based standardization. And we need to prepare ourselves in all settings-- community oncology practice settings, academic settings-- for the value-based care that we're going to be required to deliver every day, all day. And clinicians, I believe, will embrace this. They'll embrace this because it's taken away some of the ambiguity of what care delivery should look like, and it levels the playing field, if you will.   It also helps with the dialogue with patients and their employers. I think we could all argue that patients and employers are the ultimate payers. And they now have a mechanism by which they can evaluate, am I getting the highest quality, most affordable care? And these Oncology Medical Home standards will be the foundation for that discussion. And I'm excited that everyone will be involved in that discussion. So I think that's why they're very important.   BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. And then, finally, how will these standards impact patients?   JOHN COX: Well, I think our whole goal in delivering efficient and quality oncology care is to be very patient focused. I would underline that this entire concept of an Oncology Medical Home is built around a patient centered care. So every standard that this program identifies has the patient at the center of care. And I think anybody who reads through the standards can see that every aspect of this is focused on some issue that they can relate to patients in their practice stumbling over.   We have this wonderful technology of care. But right now, I would challenge oncology practice universally that as our science has become more complex, patients are having to jump through more hoops to get that quality care. Specialization breeds fragmentation. What we want this program to do is to define what a oncology practice must do to help that patient have a coordinated care approach for all aspects of their cancer journey.   And I want to come back and just put a coda, a real strong statement, is this is a care delivery system. We are trying to take as comprehensive view of the delivery of oncology practice in the certification program as we can. It's not intended to parse. It's intended to focus on the patient and to provide a comprehensive system of care.   The other challenge is we know that the only way there can be efficient and easily accessible practices that can provide this kind of care is that they be adequately funded. And though this certification program does not speak to funding directly-- this is about the quality of care delivery-- we wanted to build a program that payers in industry could look at and build their reimbursement systems around. We hope that as new reimbursement models, alternative payment models come to bare, that if practices are pursuing this certification program, they will be able to meet the demands of the payer and apply this toward a comprehensive, meeting the standards of any alternative payment program.   And to that end, I really want to defer maybe a little more discussion of this to Kim. Kim, we sort of present two ends of the barbell, if you will, of care delivery. I, a practitioner, Kim is on the point of the sword in dealing with her practice about the reimbursement issues and contracting. So when we talk about this, what is the impact for patients?   Part of that is recognizing that patients have insurance. They have employers. They have people who are paying for this care. And that's really important to address. Kim, I'm long-winded. Maybe I'm trying to wrap too much into this answer. But I'll let you add to the issues of reimbursement and how this affects patients.   KIM WOOFTER: Well, thank you, Dr. Cox. You're never too long-winded. I always love to hear you speak, and your insight is spot on. And I think, from a patient's perspective, what's exciting about this program is it engages and empowers patients right from the beginning. You'll see, very well spelled out in the standards, that one of the requirements is that you educate that patient about what an Oncology Medical Home really means, what the components are. And that empowerment of the patient allows them to be part of the voice for quality oncology.   As we work with their payers, their employers, the patient themselves understand the value of what we are doing in collaboration. They understand that we provide them access, 24/7 access, you'll see, as part of the requirement. And they understand very well and can help us communicate to everybody in the ecosystem that this comprehensive package is what gives them the highest quality, allows them, like I said, the most access. It allows them safe chemo delivery. And as they communicate that, it will become the desired standard.   The patient is absolutely the ultimate winner here. Everything we do as clinicians and administrators is based around the patient. Outcomes, satisfaction, end-of-life initiatives. And I believe by putting this comprehensively and well-defined into one set of standards, we have helped the patient to achieve that goal.   BRITTANY HARVEY: Well, it sounds like these standards will have a real positive impact for patients and quality oncology care delivery. So I want to thank you both for your work on the development of these Oncology Medical Home standards and for taking the time to speak with me today, Dr. Cox and Ms. Woofter.   KIM WOOFTER: It was our pleasure.   JOHN COX: It's our pleasure.   BRITTANY HARVEY: And thank you to all of our listeners for tuning into the ASCO Guidelines Podcast Series.

In our first Take A Step Back episode, we take the opportunity to look back over and comment on Episodes 1 through 4.  Our host,  Dr. Fethke, is joined by a first year medical student, Alyssa Shannon, and an experienced practicing pediatrician, Dr. Emily Brown. Together, they reflect on the lessons learned from the first four episodes, including:  Episode 1 - How healthcare has strayed from its original mission and an emphasis on the Patient-Physician relationship,   Episode 2 - The value of Family-centered care and the need to promote creative solutions to address deficits in the healthcare system,     Episode 3 - A need to establish Diagnosis-specific innovative and comprehensive solutions, legitimate Medical Home models, and advancement of care through Evidence-based research,      Episode 4 - The need for consistency and a unified Team Approach in public health guidelines and the valuable role of Education as an entry point into the healthcare system.   This hour long reflection from the frontlines was honest, revealing, and insightful, and the energy of this discussion was extremely captivating and constructive. Our inaugural Take A Step Back episode proved to be a great success. This retrospective format from physicians, young and old, promises to be the glue that will bind future episodes into a collection of works that will Empower our audience.   Next week on Episode 5, Part 1, we are joined by two seasoned physicians to begin a commentary on Payment Models in the current U.S. Healthcare System.You can follow Dr. Eric Fethke on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok @drfethkemd(This episode is also available in video format on Youtube @drfethkemd).

Carol Stanley, Medicaid Transformation Manager for the NC AHEC Practice Support Team, and Nicole Cannady, Practice Support Coordinator and Quality Improvement Coach for the Southeastern AHEC in Wilmington, discuss tools that NC AHEC has available to help primary care practices achieve Advanced Medical Home (AMH) Status, the differences between a Tier 2 and a Tier 3 AMH, and what family medicine and other primary care practices should be doing now to prepare for Medicaid Managed Care in North Carolina. The two also discuss significant financial incentives for practices who are achieve AMH Tier-3 status early, and how those incentives can impact your practice. Any primary care practice currently taking Medicaid should listen to this important update.

On today's episode of the Pursuit of Health Podcast, Dr. Fethke sits down with Dr. Theresa Hamlin, the Associate Executive Director at The Center For Discovery in Harris, New York. This residential facility provides for over 300 adults and children with complex developmental disabilities, including autism.  The Center is a school, a day-care center, a farm, a medical clinic, a research center, and so much more. It has become a major contributor to the economic revitalization of their surrounding community, and is now a world leader in their unique and comprehensive approach to autism, HealthE6.During this conversation, we discuss Dr. Hamlin's professional journey with her team through over 30 years of learning and addressing what was not working in autism. We cover how she helped take the conventional wisdom on autism beyond the status quo, a process which she codified in her 2016 book - Autism and the Stress Effect.  We finished up by exploring how the lessons learned at The Center can be applied to broader US Healthcare issues such as Stress, Anxiety, and Alzheimers, as well as how it can be viewed as a working model for a US Medical Home. Dr. Hamlin also touches on the future of The Center For Discovery, with its new hospital and research program, which aim to take their message and experiences beyond the boundaries of their already 200-acre campus.  So sit back and join us now for our discussion at the Center for Discovery with Dr. Theresa Hamlin.  You can learn more about The Center For Discovery on their website, thecenterfordiscovery.org .   You can follow Dr. Eric Fethke on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok @drfethkemd(This episode is also available in video format on Youtube @drfethkemd).

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has required health care systems to overhaul their ways of delivering care to patients in order to keep patients, families, and clinicians safe. For medical home visit programs accustomed to visiting patients in person, this task has required creative use of new technologies and relied on regulatory flexibility to facilitate their work. On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we’re talking with the authors of a Commentary article published in our November issue. The article, “Medical Home Visit Programs During COVID-19 State of Emergency,” describes the experience of reimagining how a home health program can deliver care amid the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The authors, from Northwell Staten Island University Hospital in Staten Island, New York, are Dr Donna Seminara, Dr Anita Szerszen, Dr John R. Maese, and Dr Zeel Shah.

Headquartered in Northern California, Medical Home Care Professionals is a small home health agency that has had to overcome big challenges over the past few years. In 2018, Medical Home Care Professionals had to operate through the historic Carr Fire. Right after that, it had to deliver care through a record-breaking blizzard. Now, it’s battling through the COVID-19 crisis — and another devastating wildfire. For this episode of Disrupt, HHCN caught up with Elaine Flores, the COO and administrator of Medical Home Care Professionals, to learn how her agency has survived what has sometimes felt like an endless wave of emergencies. During the conversation, Flores also touched on Medical Home Care Professionals' transition to the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM). Listen to this episode of Disrupt to learn about: — Keys for running a home health agency during times of crisis — Best practices for ensuring continuity of care — Medical Home Care Professionals' transition to PDGM — And more!

Dr. Sudha Koppula not only serves and cares for her patients and their families but she is also fortunate enough to have a health team of colleagues helping her every step of the way to do so. Be it preventative care, a patient in crisis, or navigating safely through a pandemic, patient care is at the center of the Patient's Medical Home. The MUHC's design was not by accident, building an PMH was intentional as infrastructure to support a PMH is critical. Creating strong PMH health teams is an important and deliberate effort to build trusted relationships among patients, their family doctors, and their PMH health teams. And nurturing a patient relationship over time is at the foundation of family medicine and essential to a PMH. Listen to Sudha's story and how she and her practice are making a difference.

Listen to Dr. Jessica Kirkwood as she chronicles her “accidental journey” into family medicine and the 10-year practice that has since followed. Gain insight into how adaptive family medicine can be during a pandemic crisis, all the while maintaining and building trusted relationships with patients.

Valerie V Show: 2019 Google Changes, Medicare Advantage + Non-Medical Home Care, Service Update

Ten years ago, a number of physician “academies” came together to pioneer the concept of Medical Home. Today, that concept is more widely known as Direct Primary Care (DPC). Today, interest in DPC and the practice model itself is rapidly evolving. Our guest, Jon Hernandez is the CEO at PeakMed Direct Primary Care in Colorado, and he is one of the drivers who are pushing DPC into its next evolution. In this fast-paced interview, we discuss different models of DPC and how the next version of DPC has been reverse engineered to include as many different lines of service as possible under a simple, affordable monthly pricing structure. As ever-growing personal responsibility amounts have caused some Americans to become “functionally uninsured”, interest in DPC is growing. Learn what's new today and what is coming soon!

Listen NowAs listeners may be aware well over 50 million Americans suffer from a mental or behavioral health disorder.  Less than half of these individuals actually receive treatment.  This reality is substantially worse for minorities.  For example, African Americans and Hispanic whites are half as likely as non-Hispanic whites to receive treatment.  Primary care practices, more than any other setting, are the cite for behavioral health treatment.  Despite federal parity legislation to improve coverage for behavioral health diagnoses and improvements under the Affordable Care Act, for example, payment models intended to provide more comprehensive and coordinated care, or to better integrate behavioral with physical healthcare, behavioral health patients remain under-diagnosed and under-treated and primary care practice settings too frequently remain  un- or ill-equipped to provide behavioral health services.   During this 26 minute conversation Dr. Corso begins by defining the difference between mental and behavioral health, he explains why there is a shortage of behavioral health clinicians (it's a distribution problem) and moreover provides an overview of his 2016 work, Integrating Behavioral Health Into the Medical Home: A Rapid Implementation Guide, including summarizing healthcare outcomes and spending reductions associated with six IBH examples provided in work.  He concludes the conversation by explaining why IBH helps address or mitigate the stigma (still) associated with a behavioral health diagnoses. Dr. Kent Corso is a licensed clinical health psychologist and a board certified behavior analyst.  He is the President of National Capital Region Behavioral Health.   He is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Family Medicine, at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS).  Dr. Corso has co-authored over 25 peer-reviewed papers on primary care behavioral health.  He is, again, the lead author of Integrating Behavioral Health Into the Medical Home: A Rapid Implementation Guide.  For information on Integrating Behavioral Health go to: https://greenbranch.com/store/index.cfm/product/1470/integrating-behavioral-health-into-the-medical-home-a-rapid-implementation-guide.cfm.For information on National Capital Region Behavioral Health go to: http://ncrbehavioralhealth.com/about.php.  This is a public episode.
