Guest Dr. Peter Yeh is an orthopedic surgeon with more than 15 years in medicine treating shoulder, upper arm, and knee issues. The stuff that happens at the job.  When it comes to injured workers, they're not that much different than an injured athlete. In both cases, the things they do can be a big part of their identity. And getting back to work is imperative. It's not just physical, it's mental. We all have different layers of what makes us who we are, and work is a big part of that.  Hear how Yeh learned how injured workers depend on doctors and the Workers' Compensation system to help them cope both mentally and physically and get back to their lives. There's no “cookie cutter” approach, and your clients depend on your understanding, compassion, and expertise.  Medical technology is rapidly evolving. Even the terms you need to know can change. Yeh explains some options that injured workers can explore, especially in cases involving injuries that would have been irreparable just two or three years ago. If you're representing injured clients, it's up to you to stay current and help them understand their options, available treatments, and the mental struggle of getting back to normal.  If you have thoughts on Workers' Comp law or an idea for a topic or guest you'd like to hear, contact us at JPierce@ppnlaw.com or APierce@ppnlaw.com.  Mentioned in This Episode: Previously on Workers' Comp Matters, Claire Muselman, “A New Approach to Workers' Comp: Being Nice?” Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the SHE MD podcast! Today hosts Dr. Thais Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney dive into a groundbreaking topic with Dr. Peyman Tashkandi and Anabel González: the transformative potential of ketamine therapy for mental health. From treatment-resistant depression and severe anxiety to postpartum depression, this episode explores how ketamine is reshaping the landscape of mental health treatment.Dr. Tashkandi breaks down the science behind ketamine's unique mechanism, which boosts neuroplasticity, reduces inflammation, and balances neurotransmitters to offer life-changing relief for those who haven't found success with traditional treatments. Anabel shares her deeply personal story of overcoming postpartum depression and lifelong mental health struggles through a structured ketamine infusion program paired with therapy.You'll also hear about the importance of integration therapy, how to identify who is—and isn't—a good candidate for ketamine, and the need to advocate for innovative mental health solutions. Whether you're a medical professional, a patient seeking new options, or simply curious about cutting-edge treatments, this episode is packed with insights to transform how we approach mental health.

PEYMAN TASHKANDI & ANABEL GONZALEZ TAKEAWAYS:Explore Ketamine as a Transformative Option: Ketamine therapy offers rapid relief for individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, and postpartum depression. Its unique mechanism of action—boosting neuroplasticity, reducing inflammation, and balancing neurotransmitters like glutamate—makes it life-changing for patients where traditional medications have failed.Understand the Science Behind Ketamine's Impact: Ketamine works differently from standard antidepressants by targeting NMDA receptors, increasing glutamate activity and enhancing neuroplasticity. This helps patients break free from patterns of chronic depression or anxiety, offering not just temporary relief but lasting mental health improvements with proper infusion protocols.Recognize the Spectrum of Mental Health Needs: Ketamine therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is most effective for those with clinical depression, severe anxiety, or debilitating conditions like postpartum depression. Understanding the distinction between everyday stress and clinical symptoms is essential for determining who can benefit from this cutting-edge treatment.Pair treatment with integration therapy for maximum impact: Therapy within 72 hours of ketamine infusions enhances the benefits by helping process and integrate experiences. While infusions alone can be effective, combining them with tools like EMDR can lead to profound and lasting emotional breakthroughs. Advocate for awareness and education: Despite its potential, ketamine therapy remains underutilized due to slow guideline changes and resistance from some mental health professionals. Push for greater understanding and open discussions with providers about innovative treatments, especially when conventional methods aren't meeting your needs.THIS EPISODE: [4:27] Ketamine for depression and how it works scientifically[13:53] Clinical depression and anxiety and Anabel shares her story of depression and her first ketamine infusion[22:31] Therapy, the infusion experience and who is not a good candidate[31:24] Long-term effects of ketamine treatments and finding the right clinic[38:45] Treating a child or adolescent with ketamine and the difference between women's and men's symptomsRESOURCES:Dr. Tashkandi's InstagramKetamine Clinics of Los Angeles WebsiteDr. Tashkandi's Private Psychiatry Practice WebsiteAnabel's Company, Good BacteriaGood Bacteria's Instagram GUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr Peyman TashkandiDr. Tashkandi is a Double Board Certified Psychiatrist in Child and Adolescent and General Adult psychiatry.

Digestive issues like SIBO, leaky gut, and IBS-C may stem from underlying causes such as mercury poisoning from filling removal. Addressing toxicity can improve symptoms and highlight anxiety's impact on gut health, emphasizing the need to look beyond diet for healing.Intrusive Thoughts in Postpartum Feel Real, Even When They Defy Logic. They can convince you of terrifying scenarios—dropping a child, causing harm, or witnessing accidents—despite knowing these fears are irrational. Often rooted in trauma, these thoughts can resurface during stressful times like a head injury.Social Media Amplifies Feelings Of Exclusion, Especially For Young, Developing Minds. Watching events unfold on social media, like friends sharing uninvited moments, can lead to feelings of isolation and inadequacy. Social media often creates an illusion of perfection, as people selectively share parts of their lives. Understanding this helps shift how we process online content.Building Your Village Is Essential In Postpartum. Leaning on family, friends, or mom groups creates a vital support system. Postpartum can be isolating, but connecting in safe spaces helps you feel less alone. Sharing experiences replaces self-criticism with the compassionate support every parent needs.Motherhood Challenges and Mental Health - Prioritizing Time With Your Partner Is Essential, Even Amid The Chaos Of Parenting.

Dr. Isabelle Raymond, Head of Clinical and Medical Affairs for Nutrafol, joins SHE MD to dive into the science of hair health. Together, they explore the complex root causes of hair thinning in women, including genetic factors, hormonal changes, stress, and the transformative impact of life stages like perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Raymond sheds light on how Nutrafol's targeted, science-backed formulations stand apart, explaining how they're designed to address women's unique hair health needs with supplements for different life phases, including postpartum, and menopause. With a holistic approach to hair care, Nutrafol embraces the interconnected factors of diet, microbiome health, and inflammation, dispelling common myths about hair thinning. Join us as Dr. Raymond shares her passion for advancing women-centered research and provides insights into other lifestyle modifications to complement Nutrafol's innovative solutions.Sponsor: Go to www.Nutrafol.com and use code SHEMD for $10 off your first month's subscription. Nutrafol is the first hair (growth) supplement (brand) with published clinical studies on menopausal women (with hair thinning). Based on US publications in Pubmed, Cochrane and top Google Scholar and ScienceDirect results prior to Feb. '21.IN THIS EPISODE:[1:20] Dr. Raymond discusses hair thinning and the difference between men and women[3:30] Why women experience hair thinning and the stages of growth and genetics[9:54] Dr. Raymond discusses why Nutrafol works and the ingredients in the formulas[16:26] Nutrafol takes a holistic approach to hair growth and myths and misconceptions about hair thinning[22:48] Hair thinning in perimenopause and menopause, trauma, stress, hormone changes, illnesses[32:06] How do you know what vitamins you can take along with Nutrafol and the importance of having women included in the research [38:27] Dr. Raymond discusses her reasons for joining NutrafolNUTRAFOL'S 5 TAKEAWAYS: 1. Not all supplements are created equal. Supplements as a category overwhelmingly relies on single-ingredient studies, and that can make it confusing as a consumer to understand which products are going to deliver the impact they promise. Look for products with clinical studies conducted on full formulations. 2 Not all clinical studies are created equal. Who, how and what is evaluated is as meaningful as the outcome in a clinical study. As a consumer, here are some key things to look for that can help you decipher information from clinical studies: subject selected by random process, diverse group of subjects studied, test treatments measured against a controlled treatment, studies completed on final formulas and not just single ingredients, studies that have been published by peer-reviewed journals 3. Hair health is reflective of whole-body health. That's why it's important to target the key root causes of thinning, by incorporating a supplement into your routine as well as addressing lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep or environmental factors. Your body and hair will also change based on your life stage and lifestyle. Nutrafol's formulas are uniquely tailored to support you where you are and with what you and your hair need most.4. Menopausal hair thinning is common, but there are ways to address it head on. More than 50% of women will experience hair thinning through menopause. Supporting your body with a hair-focused supplement like Nutrafol that addresses hormonal shifts as a root cause can help support your hair through these changes. 5. Advocate for – and educate – yourself! It's inspiring to see the landscape beginning to shift, as women and female physicians have a bigger voice in leading and informing medical research. But 80% of women still report never receiving education about menopause! I encourage women to educate themselves on menopause so they feel better prepared for the changes that menopause brings and can voice them, or any other concerns, with their physician. GUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Isabelle Raymond is Nutrafol's Head of Clinical and Medical Affairs. Her expertise is in dermatology, with a focus on hair health.

In this episode, I welcome back to the podcast...my friend and owner of Fortitude Training and Wellness, Jen Petrask! As my first REAL guest two years ago, Jen has since expanded her impressive oncology nursing career by venturing into lung cancer research while simultaneously building a staunch presence in the fitness world. From her beginnings as a fitness competitor to becoming a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist, Jen's dedication to health and well-being is truly remarkable. We discuss the pivotal moments and decisions that have shaped her dual careers, including her recent retirement from competitions and her completion of a cancer exercise specialist course. Jen shares her journey from the stage to keynote speaker to navigating the world of entrepreneurship without a traditional business background. The pandemic pushed her to adapt and expand her services online, reaching individuals far beyond the local Elizabethtown, PA area. We also touch on practical advice for those beginning their fitness journey, particularly women over 40 looking to combat osteoporosis with weight training. Jen and I emphasize the importance of combining medical insights with fitness expertise, providing tailored support for individuals with complex medical histories. Our conversation highlights the importance of science-backed guidance over social media myths, aiming to empower clients to achieve sustainable health goals.

In this episode of Join the Docs, Professor Jonathan Sackier and Dr. Nigel Guest dive into the surprisingly hilarious and sometimes cringe-worthy history and evolution of anaesthesia, affectionately dubbed "the surgeon's best buddy." The Docs take us on a wild ride from the days when biting a bullet was considered a viable pain relief method to the sophisticated modern techniques involving sedatives, analgesics, and muscle relaxants that we rely on today. With their signature blend of wit and wisdom, The Docs ensure that even the squeamish will be laughing along, making this episode a real gas.Who knew that the journey to painless surgery could be so entertaining? The episode shines a spotlight on key historical figures like Sir James Simpson, the brave soul who decided that inhaling chloroform might be a breath of fresh air—and lived to tell the tale! His pioneering work paved the way for the development of specialised anaesthetists, those unsung heroes who ensure that we can snooze through surgeries without a care in the world. It's a real knockout!Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be a fly on the wall during the early days of anaesthesia experimentation? Through a series of laugh-out-loud stories, The Docs recount the often bizarre and occasionally disastrous attempts at pain relief before the advent of modern anaesthesia. From ancient herbal concoctions that were more likely to put you under permanently than temporarily, to the trial-and-error approach of early anaesthetists, the episode is a rollercoaster of historical hijinks. By the end, you'll have a newfound appreciation for the crucial role anaesthesia plays in making surgeries not just bearable, but downright dreamy. So, why is anaesthesia considered the unsung hero of the medical world? Jonathan and Nigel make it clear that without anaesthesia, the world of surgery would be a much scarier place. They emphasise how this miraculous medical advancement has transformed surgeries from nightmarish ordeals into routine procedures, all while keeping us in stitches—both literally and figuratively. Tune in for a dose of history, a dash of humour, and a whole lot of appreciation for the magic of anaesthesia. It's an episode that will leave you breathless with laughter and gratitude!—--DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on Join the Docs are those of Dr. Nigel Guest, Jonathan Sackier and other people on our show.

In recognition of August as Vaccine Awareness Month, it's essential to cover the topic of vaccines with a well-informed perspective. I, too, wasn't always aware of the full scope of the vaccine discussion. But when you have a credible guest who has meticulously studied vaccine package inserts, analyzed the science, confronted medical boards, debated state governments, and authored insightful books, you know you're in for an enlightening conversation. Our guest is none other than the esteemed Los Angeles pediatrician, Dr. Bob Sears. In this episode, Dr. Sears shares his journey in pediatrics and his commitment to helping parents navigate the complex landscape of holistic health and conventional medicine, with a particular focus on vaccines. We explore key topics from his book, The Vaccine Book, which offers education and guidance on vaccine choices, as well as his latest book, One Doctor versus the Medical Board, where he recounts his personal experience with the medical board and discusses the implications of raising children without vaccines. Before making any assumptions or reacting emotionally, I urge you to listen closely. Dr. Sears discusses vaccine ingredients, the absence of long-term safety studies, the fear surrounding infections, the importance of medical freedom, and the financial incentives doctors receive for maintaining high vaccination rates.  Affectionately known as “Dr. Bob” by his young patients, Dr. Sears earned his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1995 and completed his pediatric internship and residency at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. He continues to practice pediatrics in Dana Point, CA, where he integrates alternative and traditional medical care. His passion for natural and healthy living is evident in his approach, which includes limiting antibiotic use, promoting breastfeeding success, employing science-based natural treatments, and emphasizing good nutrition and immune system health.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 198 Advocating with Heart - Striking the Balance Between Medical Insights and Personal Narratives - A Tribute to Valerie Marie with RING14 Co-Founder Yssa Dean DeWoody Yssa Dean DeWoody is an incredible advocate and mom, sharing her journey through the intricate world of rare disease advocacy. She unveils the concept of transitioning between the Valerie side, where medical realities are confronted, and the Marie side, where the personal essence of her daughter shines.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Can you share about your connection to the rare disease world? Our journey in the rare disease world started about 18 years ago with the birth of our third daughter, Valerie Marie. At three months old, she started having seizures and she was quickly diagnosed with RING14 Chromosome. We had the opportunity to attend an international family conference and it set us on a path to what it was like to be part of the rare disease community. I was inspired by the research and the idea that I could contribute to the community.  Can you tell us about Valerie Marie and why you're so intentional about differentiating between Valerie and Marie separately? My daughter's full name is Valerie Marie. My family refers to my daughter as Marie. Doctors always referred to her as Valerie. In time, it personified different aspects of my daughter where Marie was my daughter and her personality, her likes and dislikes. Valerie took on the more clinical presentation of her symptoms. If someone called my daughter Valerie, I knew they knew her in a medical sense and I had to create value around her by informing them who she was as a person.  What is your advice for families who want to share their stories effectively with a balance of objectivity and emotion? Whether it's at an IEP meeting at your child's school, a fundraising talk, or a speech at a large conference, it's best to start in the emotional realm with a hook that draws people in. Start with a personal story that invites the audience into your world in a personal way. Transition into a more scripted conversation guided by organized thoughts, clear ideas and a clear ask. It helps to have a clear outline in advance and know what you want out of it.  Can you share why you donated Valerie's brain to research and what the potential impact is on the rare disease community? At a research workshop, several experts emphasized the importance of brain donation in the event of a tragedy. There are so many critical questions with RING Chromosomes that might be answered from Valerie's brain donation. As a leader of the foundation with a heart for research, we chose to honor her life and continue her legacy in a way that could impact the community and inform research strategies.  LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED Dante Labs https://us.dantelabs.com/ RING14 USA https://ring14usa.com/ TUNE INTO THE ONCE UPON A GENE PODCAST Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5Htr9lt5vXGG3ac6enxLQ7 Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/once-upon-a-gene/id1485249347 Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/once-upon-a-gene Overcast https://overcast.fm/itunes1485249347/once-upon-a-gene CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/ Interested in advertising on Once Upon a Gene?

With the increased use of technology, such as telehealth and remote patient monitoring, during the COVID-19 pandemic and the overall shift to electronic health records and predictive analytics in health care in recent years, caring for patients from an individual, human perspective, rather than from a numbers or data perspective, is becoming more important. How can patient-centered care have an impact on patients who have chronic conditions like kidney failure? Dr. Francesca Tentori, vice president of DaVita’s Outcomes Research and Patient Empowerment team, discusses this with Ben Brown, senior manager of DaVita Clinical Enterprise team in Denver, CO, in this podcast. While this podcast was recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic was declared a national emergency in the United States, listen now to learn more about how integrated and coordinated care is delivered in DaVita centers. Podcast Transcript: Ben Brown (00:28): Hello and welcome to DaVita's Medical Insights podcast. My name is Ben Brown. I am a senior manager in DaVita's clinical enterprise team based in Denver, Colorado, and I'm excited to be joined on the phone today by Dr. Francesca Tentori, vice president of DaVita's outcomes research and patient empowerment team. Hi there, Francesca. Dr. Tentori (00:49): Hi, Ben. It's good to be with you. Ben Brown (00:51): Well, I'm excited to have you with us today to talk about patient-centered care. Can you talk a little bit about how you define patient-centered care and what that means to you and how do you see it come to life in our dialysis centers? Dr. Tentori (01:04): Yes, definitely. So to start with, let me give you the definition that the Institute of Medicine has given us on what patient-centered care means. Obviously it's a term that we hear more and more. The official definition is providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs and values, and ensuring that patient values guide our clinical decision. Dr. Tentori (01:35): And that's the part that is really exciting to me. So to me, patient-centered care means we provide care that aligns with each of our patient's needs, whether they're clinical or whether they are emotional. Obviously we're not always able to address all of their issues, but just awareness around what's important to each individual patient I think is a huge step. Obviously a challenging one, but I am very proud of the progress that is being made in this area, in medicine in general, and in dialysis in particular. Ben Brown (02:12): Thanks. I think that's great, and how do you see patient-centered care support our patients in a differential way? Dr. Tentori (02:19): So I think this is really, really important in a condition like kidney failure, and specifically patients on dialysis who are on a life sustaining treatment that they typically undergo three times a week if they're dialyzing in a clinic or every day if they're at home. Dr. Tentori (02:41): So their disease and their treatment is very much part of everyday life, and if we are honest, traditionally dialysis care has focused on improving clinical outcomes, achieving quality targets, which are absolutely very important, and results in better clinical outcomes. But the patient perspective was not really reflected or was not really always taken into account. Dr. Tentori (03:15): So in my mind having a structured way to account for the patient's wishes, their desires, to be more mindful that those need to be incorporated in the delivery of care makes a huge impact on the everyday life of our patients, just the fact that they feel valued and respected and listened to. There is a lot of literature and evidence supporting that it has a huge impact on their quality of life as well as potentially in clinical outcomes. Ben Brown (03:49): Yeah. And I think you make a really important point about DaVita's patient population and what it actually looks like to come to life in one of our centers where the schedules and operations can be very regimented and occasionally appear a bit overwhelming with so many patients being managed at one time. Ben Brown (04:11): So how do DaVita's care teams effectively deliver patient-centered care? And maybe you could describe what that process actually looks like and what it has meant for them in terms of outcomes. Dr. Tentori (04:24): Yes, absolutely. So all of us who have been in the clinic know that it's a hectic place. Everybody is running around always trying to do the right thing for patients, but sometimes the communication and integration of the different activities is not ideal. Dr. Tentori (04:44): One of the basic principles of patient-centered care is the coordination and integration of care. And that is to, across health care providers so the dialysis center communicating with other health care providers as well as within the clinic. We obviously have being able to really work and focus on the communication and integration within our clinic. And we want to make sure that we optimize a communication across the people who interact with patients. Dr. Tentori (05:22): So, starting with patient care technicians who have the most interaction, nurses, social workers, dieticians, physicians, we want to make sure that they're all aligned and aware what's going on with a given patient in a given time in order to be able to better respond to those needs, whether with changes in the clinical care that's needed or with other types of support. Dr. Tentori (05:52): The way we have implemented this at the DaVita clinic is starting to having daily meetings of the people who on the floor interact directly with the patients. So you can think typically of patient care technicians, nurses, if it's the week where the social worker are also interacting with that specific patient. Dr. Tentori (06:19): And that's the place where they communicate whatever is new with the system individual. That is no need obviously to cover every single person who's been treated on the floor that day. But the patients who might present with something new or with a new need. Dr. Tentori (06:36): And then the next step is to bring those information or the things that cannot be addressed immediately that day to a core team meeting. And that is a meeting for the leads of the care team, including physicians, nurses, etc. And again, the idea is that problems get escalated so that decisions can be made that address the individual needs of the patient who have come, we have become aware of as we interact with them on the floor. Dr. Tentori (07:15): And obviously one thing that I would like to stress is the importance, not only of communicating what the certain patients specific needs are today, but where we see the real importance is for the clinical team to together make decisions and come away from these meetings with a common understanding of what the care plan or any activity relating to that specific patient is going to be moving forward. Ben Brown (07:46): I think that's so important, Dr. Tentori, that when the whole team comes together to discuss those, the most important issues that a patient is facing and have the right plan in place that brings the patient's needs and wishes into mind is when we really see success and the right outcomes that we're striving for at DaVita. Dr. Tentori (08:09): Absolutely. Ben Brown (08:10): Thanks, Dr. Tentori. I think that insight is incredibly helpful for our listeners. What type of results have you seen tangibly come from this patient-centered care approach that you just mentioned? Dr. Tentori (08:22): Yeah, actually we have been able to measure this. We conducted this initiative in 400 DaVita clinics and we were able to really see an impact on measurable outcomes. If you think of hospitalization, for example, as one of the things that are most important, definitely to patients. I have never met a patient who wants to spend time in the hospital as well as from a dialysis organization perspective, obviously the logistics of a patient not showing up for dialysis and then having to make up for treatment or the treatment that's received at the hospital, not being ideal. Dr. Tentori (09:01): That's definitely something that we have put a lot of energy into and when we looked at hospitalization, at the center that participated in this initiative, there was significant and meaningful reduction among patients treated with three times a week in center hemodialysis, as well as in PD patients. Dr. Tentori (09:24): So we were able to see a full impact on daily tangible clinical outcome that's important to patients. To me even more importantly is that this type of initiative, so implementation of patient-centered care in a structured manner was really well received. Patients found that they were being listened to. Dr. Tentori (09:49): One concern obviously was that clinical staff would feel overwhelmed and that it was too time consuming and we have not received that pushback at all. And physicians as well thought that they were receiving better information and more coordinated information. So I think that overall it was really a win-win both for patients and the clinical staff. Ben Brown (10:13): That's awesome to hear and I know it's great not just for our clinics, but to share what impact it's really had on our patients. Dr. Tentori (10:21): Absolutely. Ben Brown (10:21): And for our patients, one of the most important and most difficult decisions they have to make is where they will receive their dialysis treatment. That may be in a dialysis center or within their own home. However, when as you mentioned, a patient goes to the hospital, which no one wants, their risk of being able to maintain treatment on their preferred modality increases significantly, especially for our patients who treat at home. Can you talk about how patient-centered care affects those patients treating at home and their quality of life? Dr. Tentori (10:53): Yeah, absolutely. I think that, well you brought up I think two separate issues. One is how disruptive hospitalizations are and the risk that might result in a switch in modality specifically for patients who are being treated at home to them go to in-center hemodialysis. The benefits of a patient-centered care approach is that we are all aware of what's happening individualized. We are also more aware of what the barriers might be and we are better equipment to address them. Dr. Tentori (11:32): So for example, if a patient goes to a hospital and they're not able to receive PD while they're in the hospital, we are more aware that that was the case. It might very well be that the patient needs a few sessions of in-center hemodialysis, but we are better prepared to facilitate the transition back home. Dr. Tentori (11:55): The other topic I think that you brought up is the perception and experience of care for those patients to dialyze at home and while there's so many positive aspects, the flexibility, the fact that they can maintain their lifestyle, they can remain employed, et cetera, et cetera. For some patients, dialyzing at home can also be an isolating experience just because they don't have the social interactions with our other patients and clinical staff three times a week as it happens with in-center hemodialysis patients. Dr. Tentori (12:33): So I think that more intentionality, and being more willing and really invested in understanding what's important for a person who is dialyzing at home, as well as what are the obstacles. Has something happened at home that we would not have otherwise being aware of that is making it harder for that person to dialyze at home and can we support them in any way? Dr. Tentori (13:01): I think that's really what's valuable for this process is not only looking at the clinical parameters, which obviously are very important, but in the case of an older person doing peritoneal dialysis at home. It might be very important for us to know that that spouse is now in the hospital for other problems and so suddenly the responsibility and the burden of the treatment is all on our patient. Those are the kinds of things that can help us, as clinicians, better support that patient and I think really, really have an impact on the experience of care, as well as the overall quality of life for patients dialyzing at home. Ben Brown (13:49): Thanks, Dr. Tentori. I think it's so important what you just said about how patient-centered care can help patients receive dialysis on their modality of choice, whether that's in home or at the dialysis center. For our podcast listeners who are clinicians, what are one or two takeaways about patient-centered care you would like them to leave with and do you have any recommendations for how they can implement this approach into their own practice? Dr. Tentori (14:17): Yes. Thank you, Ben, for that question. This is obviously a topic that I have a lot of passion about. I also think that the term patient-centered care is a little bit scary and sometimes we don't really understand what it means. Dr. Tentori (14:33): Really to me the most important message is something that each of us interacting with patients can implement every day. The big first piece is do we know what the needs and the preferences for our patient, that specific individual patient is today, and are we intentional, are we mindful in making sure that's the case? So, do we ask that question? Dr. Tentori (15:04): And then the other piece is do we share whatever we have learned about that specific individual? Do we share that with our colleagues, with other members of the clinical team so that we're all on the same page and then we can come up with a plan that will address that need? Dr. Tentori (15:25): And I want to stress that for many of our patients who have multiple comorbidities, we are not going to be able to address all of their needs or solve all of their clinical issues, but just the awareness that this specific problem—the fact that Ms. Jones has been, was admitted to the hospital yesterday is important. And just having that awareness, I think can really make a huge difference in the type of care that we as a dialysis community deliver to our patients. Ben Brown (16:00): Dr. Tentori, I think that is a great message for all listeners, clinical or non-clinical, to be able to take away and think about how patients not just receive their treatment, but how they feel cared for. And so I am really happy that you are able to join us today and for our listeners, if you're interested in learning more, please check out the DaVita Medical Insights podcasts that are available online today.
