September is National Recovery Month. Over the last decade, opioid use disorder (OUD) has risen exponentially across the state and country. In 2022 alone, there were more than 21,000 overdose cases reported in Michigan emergency rooms, and sadly, more than 2,600 overdose deaths. This impacts people at all walks of life, across all communities, and worsens existing health disparities and inequity. In this episode of the MiCare Champion Cast, Michelle Norcross, MSA, senior director of safety and quality at the MHA Keystone Center and Marissa Natzke, senior project manager of health and human services at the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan (CFSEM), discuss one of the tools that continues to impactful in this space: Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD). This pathway to recovery involves medications that relieve withdrawal symptoms and substance cravings. In many cases, MOUD treatment is paired with interventions like counseling or peer support so that a person is able to address the social and psychological factors that influence recovery. Throughout the episode, Norcross and Natzke share details about an innovative partnership between the MHA Keystone Center and CFSEM that brings MOUD programming to hospital emergency departments (EDs). They discuss what this path to recovery looks like specifically, along with the strong, positive impact ED MOUD programming is having on OUD patients in Michigan hospitals.

Rep. Brad Paquette, 37th House District. Letter sent out to Michigan hospitals about puberty blockers that are now being restricted overseas

With Brian Peters, CEO of the Michigan Health & Hospital Association   Did you know that the week of May 7th‒13th was National Hospital Week? During that week, we pay tribute to our healthcare workers and thank them for their service. Governor Gretchen Whitmer honored our dedicated hospital employees with the following message, “Whether you're preparing food for patients and staff, providing care at the bedside, doing rounds, performing surgery, or handling critical maintenance needs, the work you do keeps our hospitals safe and makes them more effective.” Although hospitals faced staffing and financial struggles in the past, those challenges have grown significantly since the early days of the pandemic. Faced with the frightening task of containing the deadly outbreak while caring for multitudes of quarantined patients, exhausted healthcare workers were pushed to the brink physically and mentally. With staffing levels already strained, hospital employees were subjected to significantly longer hours with fewer breaks. In addition to the increased threat to their own health and safety, employees may have faced childcare or other family issues resulting from COVID-19-related job loss or illness.   Thankfully, the worst days of the pandemic are behind us, but the aftereffects linger on. Staff shortages continue to plague hospitals and healthcare centers. One of the biggest reasons cited is employee burnout. The ongoing physical, emotional, and mental toll led to a huge increase in early retirement and employee resignations. So, how are local hospitals coping with these issues and what does this mean for the future of Michigan healthcare? If you want to learn the answers to these questions and more, you'll want to listen to my interview with Brian Peters, CEO of the Michigan Health & Hospital Association. Brian is here to talk to us about the current state of Michigan Hospitals and explain how the MHA supports our healthcare workers.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: What is the Michigan Health & Hospital Association? How does the MHA advocate for hospitals? Do most hospitals belong to the Association? What impact has the pandemic had on hospitals in Michigan? Are we more prepared for a pandemic than we were in 2020? How do we encourage more of the younger generation to explore going into nursing and the caregiving industry? How has the nursing shortage changed partnerships between nursing schools and hospitals?  What are some of the other areas affected significantly by staffing shortages? What other problems do hospitals currently face? Why are people so violent against healthcare workers? How can we ensure the safety of our healthcare employees? In addition to major hospitals, how does the staffing shortage impact other care facilities such as nursing homes? If someone wants to contact the MHA, what is the best way to do so?   Today's Takeaway: Working in a hospital can be a very challenging environment. While performing these vital life-affirming jobs, our healthcare employees are on the front lines dealing with patients and their loved ones during the worst and most stressful times in their lives. They may have to treat patients who are delusional, in pain, or simply uncooperative. In addition to the patients themselves, they may encounter family members who are verbally or physically abusive. Just imagine how you would feel if you were physically abused or verbally threatened while you were simply trying to do your job. When we're in pain or a loved one is ill, it's important to respect the job of the healthcare workers and remember we are in their care. They have the knowledge and tools to help us recover. We need to let them do their job. Remember that every day is a gift and the gift of health and recovery is wholly dependent upon our healthcare workers. So take a moment to remember how hard they are working to help us and don't forget to thank them for all that they do and the sacrifices they may be making. I'm Florine Mark and that's “Today's Takeaway.”   Quotes: “Our hospitals, whether large or small, urban or rural, have been through an incredible challenge these last few years. And we're so incredibly proud of the work that they do every single day 24/7, 365, to care for all Michiganders.” — Brian [3:26] “We really do a number of things that can promote the health and well-being of our staff and the patients they serve.” — Brian [4:06] “When we walk into the governor's office, or a state senator or representative's office, we can legitimately say we are here as the voice of the entire field.” — Brian [5:07] “Efficiency is the enemy of preparedness.” — Brian [8:18] “I think we have to have a serious conversation about the financial viability of the rest of the healthcare infrastructure versus the pharmaceutical industry.” — Brian [18:38] “We're really doing whatever we possibly can to create the best possible workplace for our health care providers.” — Brian [23:55]   Brought to You By: Gardner White Furniture   Mentioned in This Episode: Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA) Michigan Hospital Careers

In this health care podcast, seven thought leaders talk about the areas of promise they see in health care in 2020. Seven thought leaders include: Kimberly Noel, MD, from Stony Brook Medicine Eric Weaver, from Innovista Health Solutions Suzanne Delbanco, from Catalyst for Payment Reform Sue Schade, from StarBridge Advisors Naomi Fried, from Health Innovation Strategies Joe Grundy, from Grundy Consulting Adrian Rubstein, from Merck Just a couple of comments up front here. I don’t want to further my reputation for dropping major spoilers, however, so I’ll keep this short. Many of the thought leaders today talk about AI in various contexts. Are you rolling your eyes right now? If so, let me remind everyone about the Gartner Hype Cycle. The first step is wild-eyed enthusiasm. The next step in the hype cycle is anger, the old trough of disillusionment. I’d suggest that as far as AI is concerned, we are coming out of that trough and AI—be it artificial intelligence or augmented intelligence or machine learning or deep learning or whatever you choose to call it—it is being used, for reals, for various applications. Other corroborations among our thought leaders include the importance of exalting primary care, in the form of what some may call direct primary care and Zeev Neuwirth calls complex-condition care or condition-specific care—a relationship model, if you will. Another idea that comes up in various ways is the idea of breaking down silos and getting everyone with a stake in patient health to the table and focused on achieving better patient outcomes using all the technology and wherewithal available to us in 2020. By all the stakeholders, I mean going beyond the usual suspects of providers and insurance carriers—meaning employers. Also meaning Pharma, in the sense of Pharma taking the opportunity to collaborate more deeply toward outcomes their medications can potentially confer … IRL with RWE.

Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are not just "the computer people" anymore. Technology is no longer relegated to the category of operational overhead. Technology is a strategic imperative. It's a competitive differentiator, it's a driver of success in today's connected era, an era increasingly dependent on outcomes-based revenue. On the other hand, when something goes wrong, technology gets blamed even if the real problem is a shabby process or insufficient training. Today, I have a candid conversation with Sue Schade from StarBridge Advisors about the what and how of being a CIO. Sue is the perfect person to have this conversation because she's had the opportunity to serve in the role of CIO or interim CIO at 4 health systems in 4 geographies with 4 different cultures and levels of sophistication and leadership teams.

Under her leadership, University of Medicine and Health Sciences made the HealthCare's Most Wired list in 2015 and achieved the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model Stage 6 in 2014. For over 12 years, Sue served as CIO of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Her previous experience included 12 years in positions of increasing responsibility at a large integrated delivery system in the Chicago area. She led the software division for a start-up health care software and outsourcing services vendor for several years and worked as a senior manager in the health care information technology practice at Ernst & Young. An active member of Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), Sue served on the CHIME Board from 2004 to 2006, and chaired its Education Foundation Board from 2006 to 2009.

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Timir Baman, MD Charitable organizations have been working for years to support the harvesting of pacemakers for implantation in individuals worldwide, for whom these lifesaving and life-prolonging devices otherwise might not be available. It is a practice that is not currently allowed for reuse within the United States, on the grounds that it has not been proven safe and effective. A team of investigators at the University of Michigan, as part of the Project My Heart Your Heart initiative, is hoping to change this perception and increase awareness for donations overseas. It's an endeavor that has generated enthusiasm among patients and families, as well as the funeral directors who would help facilitate this process. One of the researchers, Dr. Timir Baman, a fellow in cardiac electrophysiology at the University of Michigan Hospitals and co-founder of this initiative, joins host Dr. Janet Wright for a fascinating conversation.
