Podcasts about national medical director

I'm honored to have Dr. Richard Bermudez, the National Medical Director at Brainsway, joining us. Dr. Bermudez is a pioneer in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a groundbreaking treatment for mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. With years of expertise in neuroscience and psychiatry, he has made it his mission to expand the accessibility and efficacy of innovative mental health therapies. Today, he'll share his journey from electrical engineering to medicine and how it shaped his passion for non-invasive brain stimulation treatments. We dive into the science behind TMS and how it differs from traditional mental health treatments like medication and talk therapy. Dr. Bermudez explains the evolution of TMS technology, including its ability to stimulate specific brain networks through advanced coil designs. We'll also discuss the transformative outcomes TMS provides for patients, as well as its potential for treating conditions beyond depression, from obsessive-compulsive disorder to nicotine dependence. Whether you're a clinician, a mental health advocate, or simply curious about this cutting-edge therapy, this discussion promises to be both educational and inspiring. As we explore TMS, Dr. Bermudez highlights its safety, versatility, and unique role in fostering neuroplasticity. He compares TMS with other emerging treatments like ketamine therapy and discusses the collaborative innovations underway at Brainsway. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, neuroscience, or the future of non-invasive treatments.  [03:32] We've had great success with TMS at Camelback Integrated Health and Wellness. [04:14] Dr. Bermudes started out as an engineer and ended up switching to biology in college.  [05:38] He worked in a physiology lab doing neurophysiology research and brain stimulation. He learned that the brain was an electrochemical organ. [06:22] He ended up going into medicine and psychiatry. He became clinically interested in non-invasive brain stimulation. [08:44] Brainsway is like a family with a very collaborative culture. They want to transition into a true neuroscience technology company. [10:03] It's an exciting time for the organization and for neuroscience. [13:23] How TMS differs from traditional medications or therapies. Transcranial means it's across the skull but it's not invasive. They use a high-powered magnet to induce a small electrical current. [15:40] Brainsway developed their technology in conjunction with the NIH and their coils are what are called complex coils. [16:47] 8 out of 10 patients have had a clinically significant change in their depression score. [19:07] There are three brain networks responsible for our mental health and Brainsway has three different helmets and coils. Each one modulates a different network. [21:47] TMS is safe and good for all of our brains. It induces neuroplasticity. [23:22] Deep TMS and standard TMS. Deep TMS stimulates more areas of the networks. [26:54] Functional MRIs and studies related to TMS. [28:33] Neurological changes that TMS produces in the brain. TMS belongs with the other pillars of substance abuse treatments. [30:01] We learn about conditions that TMS is cleared to treat.  [39:58] There are different targets or areas of the brain that need to be modulated to affect different brain networks. There's not a lot of evidence that TMS would work for bipolar mania or autism or ADHD. [43:22] We learn about the typical TMS protocol and how long it takes to start to see results. [51:20] Dr. Bermudes talks about accelerated protocols and the use of TMS and ketamine. [55:00] Avoiding toxic conversations and watching the news. You don't want negative experiences on your plastic brain. The patient experience is important and it's good to have a calm, safe, welcoming environment. [57:17] TMS and psychedelics like ketamine. They both have glutamate which is our excitatory neurotransmitter. [59:06] Things to think about when deciding between TMS or ketamine.  [01:03:22] Safety profiles of TMS versus ketamine. Safety concerns for TMS include not having any metal in your head and likelihood of having seizures. [01:12:00] Misconceptions about TMS. [01:14:11] Accessibility and insurance cost for TMS. [01:20:34] A device based treatment that doesn't require a doctor or a psychiatrist will help address the shortage of psychiatric prescribers. [01:21:53] It's surprising how many research articles about TMS are available now.

In this episode of Quality Matters, host Andy Reynolds is joined by Dr. Tiffany Inglis, National Medical Director for Women's and Children's Health at Carelon Health, to explore the Elevance Health Obstetrics Practice Consultants program. A winner of an NCQA Health Innovation Award, the Elevance Health program breaks new ground by bringing value-based care to obstetrics, a field where value-based strategies remain rare. Dr. Inglis discusses the program's focus on improving maternal health outcomes by addressing racial disparities and providing practitioners with insight and know-how. By emphasizing collaboration and data-driven support, the program improves the care of mothers and babies. The conversation further examines the growth and impact of the program since its inception in 2015. Dr. Inglis highlights measurable indicators of success, including double-digit reductions in low birth weight and preterm births. The discussion addresses implications of integrating value-based care into obstetrics, showcasing how this model not only improves outcomes for mothers and babies but also fosters an effective, sustainable health care system. Key Quote:  “For me, the surprise has been the impact you can have by taking this approach of value-based care, tied to quality, and then aligning it to provider supports. The member gets better care, the provider gets their value-based care contract stuff taken care of, and the plan gets a better outcome for mom and baby. It's the triple win, a good outcome for everyone. And I think the thing that caught me most off guard was just the scale at which we can improve outcomes and see better care.”Dr. Tiffany Inglis Time Stamps:00:43 Elevance Health OB Practice Consultants Program's Impact on Maternity Care01:45 The Role and Growth of OB Practice Consultants05:10 The Relationship to Other Quality Initiatives  08:36 Challenges and Misconceptions in Value-Based Care12:17 Tips for Implementing Value-Based Care Links:Connect with Dr. InglisNCQA Health Innovation AwardsNCQA Birth Equity Accountability through Measurement (BEAM) Program

Martha Mills was 13 years old when she died in hospital two years ago, after failures by doctors to spot and treat her sepsis. Her mother Merope previously spoke to Today and called for hospitals to implement 'Martha's Rule', where patients and their families would be given the right to an urgent second opinion, if they feel their concerns are not being taken seriously by medical staff. The Health Secretary Steve Barclay then said in the House of Commons that he was looking at introducing a Martha's Rule to the NHS. Labour responded to our interview by saying if the government doesn't act, they will write the rule into the NHS constitution. Today's Mishal Husain speaks to NHS England's National Medical Director, Professor Sir Stephen Powis, responds to that interview by Merope Mills and her call for 'Martha's Rule'.

Thomas Cornwell MD of Village Medical at Home Dr. Thomas Cornwell, National Medical Director of Village Medical at Home, has made more than 34,000 house calls. That's astounding considering that home-based visits haven't traditionally been considered to be a profitable service line. Nothing has been shown to reduce hospitalizations on the sickest patients in society as much as home-based primary care, but the economics haven't added up until players like Village Medical have found a place for it in their value-based care models. Take a detailed look at the economic engine behind “doing the right thing” and how aligning incentives has transformed the state of home-based care.

Medical students are taught about and examined a lot on clinical guidelines. What is best for patients overall, as recommended in guidelines, may not be appropriate for individuals. Blanket recommendations, rather than a menu of options or recommendations for shared decision making, ignore patients' preferences. So what do guidelines mean in practice? When do we deviate from them when your clinical acumen is telling you that guidelines may not be the best fit?

When something is undeniably broken and he's forced to confront what's no longer working. In the context of physical health, we're talking about panic attacks, erectile dysfunction, chronic anxiety, stifling brain fog… Listen, if you're here to live in alignment with your Great Man – who you are at your fullest potential – you have to be fully engaged in optimizing your foundation, your physical, mental and emotional well-being. But with the explosion of information at your fingertips – data from wearable devices, fasting protocols, supplements, specialized diets etc – it can get really confusing really quickly…and maybe you've tried a bunch of this stuff to no avail, leaving you frustrated and disenfranchised. The two main issues with trying to cobble together all the info you're: It's not personalized to you – generalized info is like shooting in the dark You don't have an expert helping you make sense of your data That's why today we want to simplify the 3 essential types of tests to take to get a state of the union on your physical, mental and emotional well being… …AND the expert guidance you'll want to seek to help make sense of that data and direct your next action steps to elevate your well being.

"You go to work and there are settings in which for all the people you meet, today is the day they will never forget." These are the words of the brilliant mind, Dr. Perri Klass,  addressing the need to never forget the human element of the medical profession.  A professor of Journalism and Pediatrics at New York University and Co-Director of NYU Florence, she is a mentor to many who leads with a wise and compassionate heart. This walk is an intriguing and fascinating personal reflection of how her passion for science, medicine and writing led her on the path of becoming a sought-out, highly respected pediatrician, journalist, healthcare advocate, and author.She is also National Medical Director for Reach Out and Read, a national program that continues to help millions of children by promoting early literacy through pediatric clinics, through the administering of advice about reading aloud to and with children, and through the distribution of children's books provided at routine well-child visits.    Through her work with Reach Out and Read, Dr. Klass has been able to integrate her commitment to the health care of young children with her love of the written word, inspired by her mother at a very young age."When I think about children growing up in homes without books, I have the same visceral reaction as I have when I think of children in homes without milk or food or heat: it cannot be, it must not be.  It stunts them and deprives them before they've had a fair chance." Her new book, A Good Time to Be Born: How Science and Public Health Gave Children a Future, an account of how victories over infant and child mortality have changed the world, was published in October by Norton. The New York Times  said, “A Good Time to Be Born is an ambitious, elegant meditation on what the doctor-writer Perri Klass describes as one of our greatest human achievements: a reduction in child mortality... she takes the most complex human patterns of all — history, medicine, politics, art — and knits them into something unique and beautiful.”  According to Klass, "The book is about how clever we are, we humans, the things that we figure out.  The ways that we actually make progress.  It's about science, but it's also about public health, it's about parent activism, it's about people solving problems. This pandemic has been a reminder of the power of the microbial world that we are living in, that we are a part of.  But it should also be a reminder of what humans beings can do in terms of cleverness, in terms of cooperation, and in terms of understanding that we are all in this together."She writes the weekly column, “The Checkup,” for the New York Times Science Section and is the co-author, with Dr. Eileen Costello, of Quirky Kids:  Understanding and Supporting Your Child With Developmental Differences which has just been published in a fully revised new edition by the American Academy of Pediatrics.Klass attended Harvard Medical School and completed her residency in pediatrics at Children's Hospital, Boston.  To learn more about Dr. Klass and her work, visit her website at https://www.perriklass.com/For more about the Reach Out and Read Program, visit https://www.reachoutandread.org/If you enjoy this podcast, please don't forget to share and support the show!  We appreciate you and thank you for walking with us!See you on the path!Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=Q8MFJJ34TPC6E)

Sir Bruce Keogh was National Medical Director for over a decade — leading clinical policy and strategy as well as being responsible for clinical leadership, quality and innovation. Sir Bruce was a celebrated cardiac surgeon prior to this, and during his tenure as Medical Director — he was most notably responsible for making clinical outcomes the currency of the NHS. He has been declared the most influential clinician in the NHS by the Health Service Journal for three years and was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2003. Honestly, I was nervous about speaking to someone of Sir Bruce's stature. Fortunately, he is one of the kindest people I've interviewed — and I'm really happy to have captured his leadership philosophy, how he made decisions and decided what was important as Medical Director, and his life advice for medics with similar aspirations.

“I’m Steve Loyd, and I’m hurting,” Stephen Loyd, M.D., introduced himself in one of his first 12-step group meetings. His addiction to pain pills had escalated to about 100 a day by 2004 when his father intervened. “I’m gonna lose my wife, my family, my house and cars,” Dr. Loyd explained when confronted. “Steve,” his father said, “none of that stuff’s gonna do you any good if you’re dead.” It was a hard road to recovery, but it led Dr. Loyd on a path that eventually had him rising from addict to Tennessee's "Opioid Czar" from 2016-2018. He served as Medical Director and Assistance Commissioner for Substance Abuse Services with the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, with an appointment to then-Governor Bill Haslam’s Opioid Workgroup and Public Safety Subcabinet. He is a recognized thought leader and clinician with decades of experience in internal medicine, mental health, and substance abuse service and a tireless activist for those living with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. Dr. Loyd has been in recovery from opioids and benzodiazepines since 2004. Experiencing addiction first-hand has allowed him to develop a unique approach to patient care, one that is passionate, effective, and impactful. His goal is to help as many people as possible receive the quality treatment they deserve. He currently is the National Medical Director with JourneyPure, a national provider of addiction treatment and mental health services. He also has served as the Chief Medical Officer of Cedar Recovery, an addiction treatment company headquartered in Mount Juliet, Tennessee that provides care for patients across Middle Tennessee. He is a member of the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners and has been a federal expert witness. Growing up, Dr. Loyd experienced a chaotic home life that set the course for his addiction. He grew up on a small farm in East Tennessee. His family was riddled with mental illness, alcoholics and drug addicts. Loyd decided to be the first to graduate from college. Despite his drinking binges, he earned good grades and went on to medical school at East Tennessee State University. In that “elite” environment, he felt intimidated by his classmates and decided he couldn’t let them see him drink. He was class president for four years. At the end of his medical residency, married with two small children, he began to feel the pressure of starting a new job. Driving home from work one day, he took a half of a hydrocodone pill from a prescription his dentist had given him for a procedure weeks earlier. “It really felt like everything melted off me,” Loyd describes how he felt. His cravings soon took over his life. Days later on a visit to his aunt’s house, he stole a few of her Lortab pain pills. On each visit, he would steal more. He then began keeping the prescriptions his patients brought during a visit, writing them a new one. He convinced his doctor friends to write him prescriptions. He was ingesting or snorting as many as 100 pills a day when his father intervened after seeing him take 15 Percocet. “Steve, did you just take a handful of pills?” his Dad asked. Although Loyd denied it, his Dad came to him the next evening and drove him to Loyd’s sister’s house. “Steve, you have a drug problem.” Loyd began crying. Within days, Loyd went to Vanderbilt hospital to detox and then to a 90-day rehab for professionals. He has been without alcohol and pain pills since and brings that experience to his work. “I know what it’s like to want to stop and can’t. I know what it’s like to want to die. I know the shame and guilt,” he said. The experience galvanized him to move into addiction treatment and policy work. Loyd connects his successful recovery to the social determinants of health. Loyd addresses addiction as a disease while reducing the stigma associated with treatment and recovery. “I am very fortunate. My father intervened and I received excellent treatment for my addiction. I returned to practicing medicine and eventually became the program director for the Internal Medicine residency program at Quillen College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University.” From there, Loyd joined the Mountain Home Veterans Administration Medical Center in Johnson City, as its Chief of Staff for Education. Within a couple of years, he was appointed Chief of Medicine. “Over the course of roughly ten years, my focus as a physician shifted to the disease of addiction,” said Loyd. “My own experience dealing with shame helped me connect with people who I would have never been able to reach…The more we can bring addiction out of the shadows, the more people and families will be healed.” Getting support and the level of care addicts need in order to achieve that sobriety require changes in public policy. Loyd has worked on key initiatives in Tennessee to reduce the availability of prescription drugs and other harmful substances, as well as opportunities for people to get treatment.  Loyd says, “I try to live my life by the Stockdale Paradox. We will confront the most brutal facts of our current reality, whatever they might be while at the same time, keeping the faith that we will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulty. I’m a believer in preserving life and I remain optimistic. I feel everyone with addiction deserves a chance at recovery, and that is my motivation every day. This is a battle worth winning.” Loyd still makes himself available for random drug testing, which he has pledged to do the rest of his life. He uses his experience to encourage others, “There is life on the other side, and you don’t have to keep living like that…There are people that care about you and love you, no matter where you are, I promise you that. I’m one of them.” Join us in conversation with this compassionate physician and healer!

Nearly 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease every year in the U.S. The disease is an incredibly complex disorder that affects more than 10 million people worldwide. Our guest today is Dr. Michael Okun, who is considered the world’s foremost authority on the treatment of Parkinson’s.He is the Adelaide Lackner Professor and Chair of Neurology at the University of Florida Health College of Medicine as well as the co-director of the university’s Fixel Center for Neurological Diseases. The center is known for its interdisciplinary faculty that provides a one-stop, patient-centered clinical research experience that attracts patients from around the world. Since 2006, Michael has been the National Medical Director for the Parkinson’s Foundation and works very closely with a wide range of organizations such as the Michael J. Fox Foundation. The American Society for Experimental Nuerotherapeutics recently awarded Michael the 2018 Presidential Award.  In 2015, he was recognized during a White House ceremony by the Obama administration as a “Champion for Parkinson’s Disease.” Michael also is an accomplished writer with more than 400 peer-reviewed articles and even a book of poetry. In today’s episode, we discuss: [00:17:56]What Parkinson’s disease is and the wide range of symptoms that can arise as a result of the disease. [00:29:19] How Parkinson’s disease is diagnosed since there is no specific test that can diagnose the disease. [00:32:11] The common risk factors associated with neurodegenerative disease. [00:38:20] The actor Alan Alda’s recent announcement that he has been living with Parkinson’s for more than a year. [00:41:04] A UCSF study that looked at the prevalence of Parkinson’s among veterans who had experienced traumatic brain injury. [00:46:32] Treatments that are available for Parkinson’s. [00:55:57] The cognitive, behavioral and mood effects of deep-brain stimulation. [01:17:11] The potential use of brain prosthetics or orthotics in patients with neurological disease. [01:29:26] Whether Parkinson’s therapy is moving toward local, systemic or a combination of the therapies. [01:31:48] The relationship between metabolism and nutrition and the progression of Parkinson’s disease. And much more.  Show notes: [00:02:53] Michael begins the interview taking about growing up in West Palm Beach, Florida, and his love of baseball and collecting baseball cards. [00:03:39] After high school, Michael decided to attend Florida State University and focus on a liberal arts education. Dawn asks Michael if it’s safe to assume he wasn’t thinking about medical school when he started college. [00:04:53] Dawn asks Michael how a history major ultimately decides to become an MD. [00:06:18] Ken asks Michael to elaborate on a funny story about how he ended up going to the University of Florida for medical school. [00:10:10] Michael talks about how went to med school thinking he wanted to be a black-back family practitioner, but became so interested in neurology that he changed his mind. [00:13:06] Ken mentions that during Michael’s time at Florida, he became fascinated by what was going on in the brain of people who had tremors. Ken asks Michael if that is what led him to focus on Parkinson’s disease during his postdoc at Emory? [00:17:56] Even though most people are familiar with images of people like Michael J. Fox and Mohammed Ali who have tremors, most people aren’t aware that Parkinson’s has a wide range of symptoms, which makes it an incredibly complex disease. Michael gives an overview of Parkinson’s and the various symptoms that can arise as result of the disease. [00:22:29] Since Parkinson’s is such a remarkably complex and multi-system disease, Ken asks Michael how he integrates the different clinical disciplines that are required to treat someone with Parkinson’s. [00:29:19] Ken mentions that there is no specific test to diagnose Parkinson’...

Artificial intelligence; everyone's talking about it and everyone is doing it, or so they say. What's the reality behind these technologies? This discussion delves deep into that future with a discussion about the exciting new developments in the Hypotension Probability Index (HPI) which uses an automated closed loop technology that helps to predict intraoperative hypotension.

Developing medical treatments today for the most part depends on identifying a problem, whether it is physical, metabolic, behavioral or psychological and then targeting a treatment for that problem. Knowing what process causes a disease or symptom helps direct discovery of its potential treatments. In the case of Parkinson’s disease, modern techniques such as brain imaging, biochemical tests, and laboratory studies can reveal likely targets for designing new treatments. In this podcast, Michael Okun, National Medical Director of the Parkinson’s Foundation and Co-director of the University of Florida Movement Disorders Center, a Parkinson’s Foundation Center of Excellence, discusses Parkinson’s disease mechanisms as possible targets for drug development, where certain drugs stand now, and how the process of bringing a drug to market for PD may be sped up.

Stem cells – those cells that can give rise to so many cell types in the body – have been touted as the cure-all for a variety of diseases, including Parkinson’s. But to date, attempts at stem cell transplantation into the brain have fallen short. Parkinson’s is one of the most complex diseases, with a variety of motor and non-motor symptoms and an impact on many systems of the body. Just inducing a cell to make dopamine is not the whole answer. But stem cells are still useful for drug screening and disease modeling. Dr. Michael Okun, National Medical Director of the Parkinson’s Foundation and Co-Director of the University of Florida Center for Movement Disorders and Neurorestoration, a Parkinson’s Foundation Center of Excellence, puts the field into perspective and where it’s going.

SUBURBIA IS A WASTELAND OF DRUG USAGE... Some experts are skeptical about the wall's ability to fight the problem, given its roots in painkillers prescribed by doctors in the United States. OPIOID ANALYST/PHYSICIAN: Dr. Dennis Deruelle (Durr-Rell), is a physician and National Medical Director of Acute Services for IPC Healthcare; he is Author Of Your Healthcare Playbook: Winning the Game of Modern Medicine. "President Donald Trump declared the opioid epidemic a national public health emergency on Thursday, telling an audience in the East Room of the White House that "we can be the generation that ends the opioid epidemic." "This epidemic is a national health emergency," he said. "Nobody has seen anything like what is going on now." He added: "As Americans, we cannot allow this to continue. It is time to liberate our communities from this scourge of drug addiction. Never been this way. We can be the generation that ends the opioid epidemic. We can do it." Trump, in a wide-ranging speech about opioids, stressed the need for further enforcement and linked his planned wall along the US-Mexico border with efforts to stem the tide of illegal drugs coming into the United States. "An astonishing 90% of the heroin in America comes from south of the border -- where we will be building a wall -- which will greatly help in this problem," he said. Some experts are skeptical about the wall's ability to fight the problem, given its roots in painkillers prescribed by doctors in the United States. Trump also stressed the need to crack down on those Americans who are buying illegal drugs, stressing the need to link enforcement with stopping abuse in the first place. "Every person who buys illicit drugs here in America should know that they are risking their futures, their families and even their lives," he said. "Illegal drug use is not a victimless crime. There is nothing admirable, positive or socially desirable about it." READ: www.cnn.com/2017/10/26/politics/donald-trump-opioid-epidemic/index.html
