Nurses trained to administer anesthesia to Veterans Affairs patients require supervision from a physician. That's the rule, but their counterparts in the Military Health System or the Indian Health Service, not so for them, and that's prompted the American Association of nurse anesthesiology to urge VA to get on with standards, to let its nurses provide care to more veterans with less supervision.

SummaryThe conversation discusses three main changes proposed by the Leadership Identification Committee (LIC) for the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology: increasing the number of directors from seven to nine, increasing the term for directors from two years to three years, and changing the progression of the president to a three-year term. The rationale behind these changes is to decrease turnover, increase the number of eligible people for executive positions, and provide more support to region directors. The conversation also addresses concerns about the time commitment for directors and the potential impact on decision-making, cost, and the role of the professional staff. The conversation explores the proposal to increase the number of directors on the board, extend the terms of the vice president and president-elect, and create continuity in executive leadership roles. The main themes discussed include the benefits of having more directors to support state leaders, the financial feasibility of the proposal, the potential risks of electing the wrong person into an important position, the need for continuity and experience in executive roles, and the importance of informed voting.  The conclusion is an editor's note, where our host, Joe Rodriguez, expresses his view after taking time consider the conversation.  KeywordsAANA, association, Leadership Identification Committee, directors, term, turnover, executive positions, region directors, time commitment, cost, professional staff, board directors, executive leadership, continuity, experience, informed votingTakeawaysThe proposed changes aim to decrease turnover, increase the number of eligible people for executive positions, and provide more support to region directors.Increasing the term for directors from two years to three years allows for more continuity and experience on the board.Expanding the number of directors from seven to nine helps to reduce the workload for region directors and aligns with the growth of the association.Concerns about the time commitment, decision-making, cost, and the role of the professional staff are important considerations in the discussion.The financial feasibility of the proposal was assessed and deemed affordable.There is a potential risk of electing the wrong person into an important position, but the board can address disruptive behavior and provide coaching to mitigate this risk.Having continuity and experience in executive roles can lead to better decision-making and representation of members' interests.Informed voting is crucial, and members should take the time to understand the proposals and make informed decisions.Chapters00:00Introduction and Background of the Proposed Changes02:51Increasing the Term for Directors from Two Years to Three Years10:14Expanding the Number of Directors from Seven to Nine18:09Considerations and Approval of the Proposed Changes31:16Enhancing Support for State Leaders33:56Assessing Financial Feasibility37:12Creating Continuity in Executive Roles41:31Decreasing Turnover and Ensuring Continuity45:37Mitigating Risks and Addressing Poor Leadership48:42Moving Away from Personal Agenda Items59:40Encouraging Informed VotingConclusion: Editor's NoteSend us a Text Message.Follow us at:InstagramFacebookTwitter/X

Today we're going to dive into an interesting topic: some medical legal considerations. And we'll talk a little bit about being an expert witness. We'll cover anesthesia standards created and published by the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology, and share some of our own experiences acting as expert witnesses in medical legal complaints filed on behalf of patients. Perhaps just as important though, we're going to talk about ways that you can keep yourself out of hot water and keep your patients safe. It's important that as providers we periodically review the standards by which we're expected to practice. Both for the benefit of our patients and to make sure that we're practicing at the highest levels of anesthesia care every single day.   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode: Reviewing the Standards for Nursing Practice from the Professional Practice Manual. The most common problems that I have seen that have resulted in litigation fall into four main categories. Who evaluates whether or not the standard of care has been satisfied?        The difference between a deposition and trial testimony and how it impacts you.   Visit us online and get show resources here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/   Get the CE Certificate here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Beyond-the-Mask-CE-Cert-FILLABLE.pdf   Help us grow by leaving a review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-mask-innovation-opportunities-for-crnas/id1440309246

In this episode, I interview Ben Clark who is a Nurse practitioner/ Certified Registered nurse in Anestesiology who is the co-owner of Tri-Cities Wellness and Infusion center, located in Kennewick, WADr Ben and I discuss a newer treatment called KETAMINE and how this treatment Is helping patients fight chronic pain as well as other things. Ketamine was developed in the 1960's and has been an FDA approved anesthetic and analgesic medication since the 1970's. Ketamine is used safely throughout the world. Most recently Ketamine infusions have been studied and used for the treatment of refractory depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain syndromes, and other conditions with success. How does it work? Ketamine works on the NMDA receptors within the brain. It causes an increase in the neuro transmitter Glutamate. While not all of it's mechanisms of action are known, it has been shown to repair and help rebuild neuro synapses and pathways within the brain. How many treatments you will need depends on the individuals needs typically 4-6 infusions over a 4-7 day period is sufficient,. Then booster infusions as needed.Katamine has showed improvements in many pain disorders like Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Chronic pain, CRPSTri-Cities wellness and infusion center offers other services for better health including:Cosmetic injections, Stem cell injections for back pain, Microneedling, PRP injectionsVitamin infusions like: Myers Cocktail, Athlete recovery infusions, Antioxidant booster, Covid Recovery, B complex, Biotin, Glutathione, B-12, Vitamin D, Hair, skin, nail boosters and moreAbout Ben Clark, ARNP, CRNABen earned his Bachelor's of Science in Nursing degree from Brigham Young University.

Ketamine was developed in the 1960's and has been an FDA approved anesthetic and analgesic medication since the 1970's. Ketamine is used safely throughout the world. Most recently Ketamine infusions have been studied and used for the treatment of refractory depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain syndromes, and other conditions with success. How does it work? Ketamine works on the NMDA receptors within the brain. It causes an increase in the neuro transmitter Glutamate. While not all of it's mechanisms of action are known, it has been shown to repair and help rebuild neuro synapses and pathways within the brain. How many treatments you will need depends on the individuals needs typically 4-6 infusions over a 4-7 day period is sufficient,. Then booster infusions as needed.Katamine has showed improvements in many pain disorders like Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Chronic pain, CRPSTri-Cities wellness and infusion center offers other services for better health including:Cosmetic injections, Stem cell injections for back pain, Microneedling, PRP injectionsVitamin infusions like: Myers Cocktail, Athlete recovery infusions, Antioxidant booster, Covid Recovery, B complex, Biotin, Glutathione, B-12, Vitamin D, Hair, skin, nail boosters and moreAbout Ben Clark, ARNP, CRNABen earned his Bachelor's of Science in Nursing degree from Brigham Young University.

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Laura Meaney, DNAP, CRNA, and Co-Founder of Focused Infusion Therapy. Laura talks about the steps she took to open her practice and offers advice for anyone interested in starting a ketamine clinic. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: In 2019, Laura got her doctorate in anesthesia. Her doctoral thesis was on ketamine and protocols for treatment-resistant depression. Her practice, Focused Infusion Therapy, is located in Arizona and has been open since October 2020. Her business partner had the capital to launch. They started small and now have plans to open satellite clinics in the central Phoenix area. Laura shares how she found her medical director, a physician from a local hospital. He reviews charts and consults.  She also shares the steps she and her business partner took to open their practice—from purchasing equipment to renting a place to set things up. Laura talks about how they overcame the challenge of launching a website and what marketing methods they used to promote their business. The American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology and the American Psychiatric Nurses Association released a joint statement that CRNAs should be collaborating with mental health clinicians if they're treating mental health patients.  Laura admits some patients have experienced side effects after ketamine infusions, such as nausea and headaches. She's worked with them to manage these side effects. Focused Infusion Therapy also offers IV therapy, which she believes is a great complimentary service to ketamine.  It's so rewarding to see people feeling better. Laura's father suffered from depression and chronic pain. After having ketamine therapy treatments, she said he smiles more and enjoys playing golf.   Laura is on a mission to spread the good word about ketamine everywhere she can.  Her advice for anyone concerned about the challenges of opening your practice: Suck it up and stick it out. It's about the mission and not the money.  3 KEY POINTS: The Ketamine Academy helped Laura better understand how to achieve her goal of opening her ketamine practice. It only took her and her business partner four to five months to launch Focused Infusion Therapy. Her mission is to bring health and wellness to all aspects of a patient's life through ketamine infusions and IV therapy. Laura wants to help people get back to their lives and have happier days.  Laura advises hiring people who can fill in the gaps when you open a practice - hire for what you don't know.  TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Collaboration is key.” - Laura Meaney “I have a lot of hats but I also have a lot of help.” - Laura Meaney “If you don't know, you need to hire somebody who does know.” - Laura Meaney RESOURCES: Focused Infusion Therapy website: https://focusedinfusionwickenburg.com/ Collaborating Docs website: https://collaboratingdocs.com/ Ketamine Media website: https://ketaminemedia.com/ Osmind website: https://www.osmind.org/ Ketamine Academy: https://www.ketamineacademy.com/ #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #podcast #ketamine #ketamineclinic #ketaminetherapy #ivtherapy #practiceowner #startup
