There is so much hope in lung cancer today. But lung cancer is also inherently very complicated. And the process of getting to a treatment plan takes a lot of expertise, different members of a medical team, and lots of tests. And one way to make this process easier on patients and more efficient for doctors who are making those treatment plans is to use an expert called a patient or nurse navigator.

Plus, Dr. Roberto de la Cruz and Dr. John Carlo also weigh-in on mask effectiveness.On that same theme, we talk "Back-to-School" during the 'Pandemic of a Century' with Dr Kyle Oholendt, a primary care doctor who is board certified in both internal medicine and pediatrics at Methodist Health System. Never before have we began a school year with such uncertainty for the health-safety of our kids. Dr. Oholendt brings many great tips to the table to help parents strategize how to best protect their kids this school year.We wrap up with a heart-warming story about the true meaning of "The Human Side of Healthcare," as we hear how a Nurse Navigator, a Physician and a patient recently diagnosed with a rare type of cancer came together to not only address his physical condition, but to also touched his heart. This is a story of healthcare at its best, at a time when we really need to hear the positive side. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Mary Buffington had been a nurse for several years before feeling the effects of burnout. She was working in a chaotic oncology clinic, which was stressful enough, but then didn't feel supported by her own leaders which added to the toxic environment. She finally chose to leave that job and almost gave up on nursing all together. She decided to take some time and find her self-purpose and self-love. In those years, she returned to school and received her Master's in Leadership/Management, worked with a Life Coach, and got a new job as a Nurse Navigator.Because of her experiences, she knew that she didn't want anyone else to go through that and started her business called The Burnout Ward. She is now the one coaching others to find their self-purpose and self-love. The work that she is doing is incredible. Mary is enamored with Florence Nightingale, the way Florence lived life on her own terms, saw a need for caretaking and went to Crimea, despite that not being “the norm” at that time. She says that nurses are taught that our worth is in giving and caretaking, but we are so much more and can contribute in many meaningful ways, including leadership roles and politics.About Mary BuffingtonMary Buffington is a registered nurse and certified life coach who works exclusively with nurses. She teaches nurses how to create the careers and lives they want without the burnout. Her company the Burnout Ward has served nurses using her signature program The Unbreakable Nurse Society.

Eliseo Tajanlagit is a nurse who worked in the ED. He saw so many patients coming into the ED with the wrong insurance. As a bedside nurse he didn’t notice it so much, but when he transitioned to case management, he better understood the issue. Eliseo wanted to better understand the problem, so he delved into the world of insurance. So much so that Eliseo actually took the national insurance exam, so he is able to underwrite insurance plans. He currently works with insurance companies to help clients understand what it is that they need in their insurance plans. For instance, do you need supplemental insurance? He is able to explain in plain, everyday language what it means if you add this into your plan vs leaving that out of the plan. Eliseo markets himself through thought leadership. He takes every opportunity he can get to talk to elders, corporations, communities and families about how to choose the right insurance plan. Being a nurse who has seen the consequences of choosing the wrong plan, Eliseo is in a unique position to help so many people. Not many nurses have their insurance license or can underwrite an insurance plan. Eliseo’s community outreach has been the lever of his success in this area. He recently started his own company called Medicare Nurse Navigator, which I have a feeling will do very well considering how effective Eliseo is in communicating insurance details in lay person terminology and with his expertise as a nurse.

Matt Herold and Dave Larson address the ever increasingly important issue of geriatric emergency care and how a geriatric ED may be the wave of the future. This is another installment in the Lehmann lecture series. Dr. Jim Lehmann is a retired internist at Ridgeview and Lakeview Clinic, and this series commemorates his many years of incredible patient care. Enjoy the podcast!   CHAPTER 1:   1. There are a lot of elderly people now.   2. They are unique.   The fastest growing demographic in this country are people over the age of 65. In Minnesota, the average age of emergency patients will dramatically increase. This equates to an even larger proportion of our patients being elderly. But not just elderly patients — significantly more ill patients in this age group than previously recognized and addressed.    Our current system is not sustainable, and we need to plan around this, and one of the ways is how we address our senior patient population. Primary care shortages, patient complexity, reimbursement issues and less time with patients in the clinic leads to more ED visits. In our Ridgeview Waconia campus, 1/3 of our patients are over the age of 65. In a few years it will be 75 years and older. Admit and transfer rates are more than 40% in those 65 and over. They also sit in the ED much longer due to this. Patients also bounce back more frequently in this population and this also affects reimbursement. What are the challenges in this patient population: medical complexity, social issues that go beyond a short ED evaluation, atypical presentations and the ubiquity of polypharmacy.    There is a paradigm difference. Our senior patients require, and actually deserve a different setting than the more "fast-food" experience of patient comfort offerings. For our more straight forward patients, throughput is vital. In our older patients who may be spending more time in the ED, how do we make it more agreeable and comfortable.    Dr. Herold illustrates three cases:    In case number one, an elderly gentleman presents with a fall. Upon evaluation he has a rib fracture. He is admitted. Treated with tylenol and morphine. Sent home because he’s doing well. At home he can’t get out of bed. He is readmitted. Develops fever, SOB. Pneumonia, IV antibiotics. Sent home on Levaquin. He returns to the ED now delirious.    Another elderly patient comes in with abd pain and urinary symptoms. Takes warfarin. Labs look okay with UTI noted on UA. CT abdomen is c/w cystitis. Cipro x 1 week prescribed. Coumadin held 2 days (although he didn’t actually hold the med). He returns with frank hematuria and urinary retention. Hospitalized for CBI.      Another patient, an 89 yo female with COPD. Nebs, prednisone, watched in ED and discharged. Returned next night and is SOB. Doxycycline added. Sent home again and her daughter states she is anxious. She's placed on low dose lorazepam, just for at bedtime. Two days later she is somnolonent and in acute resp distress. Placed on bipap and improves, once again discharged. 4 days later she fell because of being lightheaded. As it turns out, she gets caught up on her many feet of O2 tubing, and brakes her arm. Another fall happens in the hospital. Her Hgb is 7.8, down from 10. A bleeding ulcer is found.     More to come on these patients and how we can better care for them in the context of a geriatric emergency department. Stay tuned for Dr. Larson, who will talk about this very subject, and how to help make it come to fruition.   CHAPTER 2:     Dr. Larson discusses a paradigm shift in how we care for our senior patients. Coordination of care must improve and build a better system overall. Geriatric EDs are an innovative direction in emergency care. A new team approach specifically for our older patients who require different services. Comfortable beds, better lighting, noise improvement, etc. So, how is it actually working and currently being done well?  An ED in Patterson, NJ, at a large urban hospital was of the very first to develop a geriatric ED.  Dr. Mark Rosenberg spearheaded this endeavor. It was motivated by an experience he had in a ED with his own mother.     Goals in mind include:  1. Improve care of geriatric patients.  2. Better discern who will benefit from impatient care.  3. For those who do not require inpatient, to better coordinate their care at home. The overall goal is: reducing hospitalization.     Staff and provider education, coordination of care from both the medical and the community sides are all crucial. Interestingly, they were able to achieve these goals by staying budget neutral. Comfort in the ED is a priority. All patients 65 or over from home or assisted living facilities are placed in cohorted rooms in the ED that are quieter. It is staffed 12-hours a day, but it actually correlates with most geriatric presentation times to an ED. Natural lighting, wall murals or windows if possible. The role of a navigator, typically a nurse or nurse practitioner, is vital. Screening evaluations for falls, dementia and delirium help set the stage for all further care. Contacting the patient on 1, 3 7 and 30-days post-discharge is done by the navigator as well.     Social services' role in the patient's care is much needed as well. Polypharmacy was even recognized by Dr. Seuss. So pharmacy review of medications and the use of the BEERS criteria are of utmost importance.    Staff education and ongoing education of the many parameters of the special needs of our senior patients is an essential part of maintain a geriatric ED. A guideline by ACEP and AGS, as well as ENA, was published and is a critical resource for geriatric emergency care. Cost containment is key here as well.  We must address this elephant in the room, and the goal here is to reduce admissions and bounce backs with this new program. Attracting patients to a specialty center and improving the triple aim: improved patient care experience, improved health populations and reduced per capita cost of care.  Why the ED?     It is where patients go when things are going wrong, acutely, but also sub-acutely and chronically. Physician and nurse champions, patient advisor, nurse navigator, PT/OT, social work and pharmacy in the ED. Education for patients, protocols and a QI process are needed to actually become accredited as a geriatric ED.   CHAPTER 3:    Geriatric syndrome is a real thing. It may involve a combination of fall, delirium, frailty, and dehydration. It is a broad topic and concept. It relates to multifactorial conditions that lead to an older person being vulnerable to situation challenges. Dr. Herold used a lot of big words, like sarcopenia, and hemostenosis, to describe this. Essentially he points out that with more stressors placed on an elderly patient, the more likely one or more systems will break down. There is a disparity between mechanism of stress or injury and severity of the physiologic outcome. Distilled down, there are 8-domaigns of geriatric emergency medicine. They include: 1. Atypical presentation.  2. Cognitive/behavioral disorder.  3. Emergent intervention modifications.  4. Medication management.  5. Transitions of care.    6. Pain management. 7. Palliative care.  8. Effect of co-morbid conditions on all of the above.  This was from a paper cited from about 10-years ago. So, how can we now do better with the original patients Dr. Herold presented?  1. Our rib fracture gentleman is followed by RT. A better assessment than a "road test" with proper screening for overall function.  2. How about better [bigger] font for discharge instructions, improved ability to schedule an outpatient lab test as well as a post visit or check-in by the Nurse Navigator.  3. Screening resources for mental health and neglect. Is she anxious because she doesn't want to be home alone? Pharmacy integration and home care coordination may prevent the inevitable bounce back.   FINAL COMMENTS: Final comments were made by Dr. Jim Lehmann, the namesake for this special CME series, at Ridgeview Medical Center, where he practiced for many years.  Thanks to Drs. Matt Herold, Dave Larson, and Tara McMichael for presenting this today.  Also special gratitude goes to Dr. Jim Lehmann, and his many years of service and excellent patient care. Emergency care is stressful and complex. There is much to consider when tending to older patients and their inherent special circumstances. All the more reason to continue to be innovative with our care strategies going forward; not only in the ED, but in all departments, and at home.
