Dr. Terence Friedlander reviews the various patient outcomes after hip fracture surgery. Series: "Excerpts" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 40752]

The healthcare system is complex and challenging to navigate, especially for seniors and their caregivers, but preparation and knowledge can help you maintain control, advocate effectively, and achieve better outcomes during healthcare transitions.KISMETWhile most assume senior care facilities and nursing homes operate based on modern nutritional science, many still follow outdated dietary guidelines based on the food pyramid, which may negatively impact metabolic health when seniors need more protein and healthy fats for optimal recovery and function.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, master's prepared nurse Cheryl Field shares insights from her 36 years of experience in senior care. She discusses how understanding the healthcare system can help aging adults maintain control during transitions like emergency room visits and hospital stays. Field explains the critical differences between traditional Medicare and managed care options that seniors must navigate when turning 65. She offers practical advice on preparing for healthcare events, including what to bring to the emergency room and how to approach rehabilitation stays positively. Field emphasizes the importance of advance directives, creating a supportive home environment, and embracing a mindset that accepts assistance when needed. The conversation also explores how improved nutrition and metabolic health can benefit both seniors and their caregivers, potentially reducing medication dependence and improving quality of life.NOTABLE QUOTE"A hundred percent of us will experience a sudden change in health.

Send us a textGuest: Lance Alston, Director of IT, Nathan Littauer Hospital and Nursing Home Host: Vik PatelOn this episode, Vik welcomes Lance Alston, Director of IT at Nathan Littauer Hospital and Nursing Home, for a candid conversation on leading with resilience, trust, and innovation in a resource-constrained healthcare environment.Lance shares how he's successfully navigating the “do more with less” challenge, emphasizing the importance of trust — both within his team and with external partners. While vendor partnerships can be highly beneficial, Lance acknowledges they often require a culture shift. At Nathan Littauer, he's worked to foster the right mindset and build trust with carefully chosen partners to reduce organizational risk, especially around key personnel dependencies.The conversation also touches on leadership and well-being. Lance and Vik explore the importance of work-life balance in healthcare IT, a field often plagued by burnout. Lance emphasizes leading by example and ensuring team members feel supported in taking time off. This culture shift is backed by the full C-suite, including the CEO, who recognize that employee morale and well-being are essential for long-term success.From there, the discussion transitions into more technical territory, including the organization's current and future AI strategy. Lance highlights how having an enthusiastic and forward-thinking CMIO has been instrumental in exploring AI solutions that support clinical decision-making. Together, they're laying the foundation for a future where AI becomes a practical, integrated tool — not just a buzzword.Vik also introduces Tido CortexAI, an AI-ready data lake that transforms EHR, clinical, and operational data into clean, normalized, and interoperable insights. Whether it's for predictive modeling, automation, or real-time trends, CortexAI provides the data foundation healthcare organizations need to make meaningful use of AI.Finally, Lance offers insights into the importance of open communication across departments — even when the answer isn't immediately clear. “It's okay to say, ‘I'm not sure yet, but I'm working on a solution,'” he says. Fostering transparency, accessibility, and continuous communication is key. Because no matter how advanced the technology, without the right strategy and human connection, it won't deliver its full value.Closing thoughts from Lance: At the end of the day, IT is still IT — even in the age of AI. What truly makes a difference is effective communication, strong relationships, and trust. Especially when you're tasked with doing more with less, those human elements are essential.Support the showListen to all This Week in Health Tech episodesVik Patel - LinkedInTido Inc. - WebsiteTido Inc. - LinkedIn

Louisiana lawmakers have moved ahead with a bill that would help protect nursing homes from lawsuits...and one of the co-authors works as an attorney defending nursing homes. We get the details from Julie O'Donoghue, a senior writer at the Louisiana Illuminator

What happens when a loved one suddenly needs nursing home care and you've done absolutely no prior planning? The financial devastation can be overwhelming, but according to elder law attorneys Greg and Jordan McIntyre, all hope is not lost.This father-son legal team walks through the stark reality of crisis planning for long-term care. They contrast the difficult path of guardianship proceedings—which require court oversight, hearings, and months of legal work—with the protection offered by properly drafted powers of attorney. As Jordan explains, "If there's a limitation on the gifting provision, it could hinder my ability to protect assets." Not all legal documents are created equal, and standard forms rarely contain the specific provisions needed for effective asset protection.For married couples facing nursing home placement, the McIntyres offer particular hope. Even without prior planning, strategies exist to implement the "community spouse resource allowance" and other legal mechanisms that can preserve significant assets for the healthy spouse. They explain how the rules allow for protecting your home and savings while still qualifying for benefits you've paid for through years of tax contributions. As Greg notes, "The real power is being able to know the rules so well that you operate out in the open... within our rules that we allow."The attorneys emphasize that crisis planning isn't about hiding assets but working strategically within established legal frameworks. While proactive planning always offers the most protection, their practice includes a dedicated department for helping families in emergency situations. Whether you're planning ahead or facing an immediate care need, understanding these legal strategies could save everything you've worked for. Schedule a free consultation to learn how proper planning can protect your family's financial future.

After contracts expired for thousands of homecare and nursing home workers, there are talks about a possible strike.

The staff at Yates Center Health and Rehabilitation were riding high after learning in early March that their humble one-story nursing home in eastern Kansas was the state's highest rated. The team had celebrated a third-straight five-star survey not long before. But an out-of-control grass fire that swept across the prairie the afternoon of March 14 dramatically changed the fortunes of the facility, its staff and residents. The fire encroached on the brick nursing home with little time to prepare, leaving Yates Center Health and Rehab a total loss within an hour. Nikki Jacobs, the building's former administrator, still lives in the town of Yates Center and happened to be on scene within minutes. Now serving as a regional vice president for the provider's parent company, Mission Health Communities, Jacobs rushed to help in the evacuation after getting calls about the fire from family members as the danger became quickly apparent to those in the close-knit community. Staff and volunteers were able to rescue 37 residents swiftly, with the fire ultimately sending just two people, including a hospice patient, to the hospital for ongoing care. In this episode, Jacobs recounts the early hours on site, how emergency preparedness plans worked — pillows were a key tool — and future plans for a facility that is beloved in its community. While still determining how and when they can rebuild, Jacobs said Mission is committed to reuniting the team that enabled great quality and an incredible emergency response.

In this tips-loaded conversation, Brandy and Emilia challenge the common belief that aging means either living fully independently or moving into a nursing home. The reality? There's a wide spectrum of possibilities in between—and understanding those options is essential for individuals, families, and professionals working in senior care. Whether you're a caregiver, healthcare professional, or planning for your own future, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into aging with dignity, support, and community.

Chaos at an IL Nursing Home, Foreign Policy Bets & Capitol Beat with Rep. Onder (hour 3) full Ryan Wrecker fills in for Marc with Kim St. Onge & they delve into the dangers police officers face, using a dramatic incident as an example. A chainsaw-wielding man in an Illinois nursing home confronted officers, leading to a fatal police shooting. The hosts highlight the difficult split-second decisions officers must make, particularly when innocent bystanders are at risk. They argue that such incidents underscore the challenges of policing and the need for public support rather than constant criticism. The episode also touches on recruitment struggles for law enforcement, particularly in St. Louis. The hosts discuss how police officers in the city face dangerous working conditions, low pay, and lack of government support. They question why anyone would choose to work in a hostile environment when suburban departments offer better compensation and stability. The conversation leads into broader concerns about crime, policing policies, and the difficulties of retaining good officers. Next, the show covers international politics, focusing on Israel and Hamas. They debate with Heritage's Foreign Policy expert Steven Bucci whether Hamas can ever be a reliable negotiating partner and whether military action is the only way to force their hand. They express support for Israel's defensive actions but acknowledge the complexities of Middle Eastern geopolitics. The episode concludes with a preview of upcoming political interviews, including an expert on cybersecurity. They also discuss government efficiency and fraud, with the Capitol Beat with Rep. Dr. Bob Onder. The Democrat Party is facing internal struggles over how to appeal to working-class voters. Some Democrats, like Representative Jason Crow, argue that the party needs to rebrand itself as the party of the working class. However, the hosts are skeptical of this messaging, pointing out inconsistencies in past policies that favored elites over blue-collar Americans. Rep. Onder discusses his bill to end trafficking of aborted babies.

Full Show 3/21/25: Rules for Men, IL Nursing Home Chaos & Busted Brackets full Ryan Wrecker fills in for Marc with Kim St. Onge on the The Marc Cox Morning Show. They cover government waste and fraud, particularly in relation to pandemic relief programs. The indictment of Cori Bush's husband, Courtney Merritts, for PPP loan fraud sparks debate about accountability in government spending, with the hosts questioning how much more fraud remains undiscovered. Similarly, Elon Musk's role in uncovering wasteful government spending draws both praise and backlash, with the show arguing that Democrats fear transparency. Discussions about government job cuts and the elimination of the Department of Education highlight a broader debate on whether federal agencies are necessary or just bloated bureaucracies. International politics also take center stage, particularly Ukraine's financial struggles and U.S. support for rare earth mineral deals. The show critiques Zelensky's plea for more European funding, comparing it to a donation campaign, and questions whether the U.S. should continue bankrolling Ukraine's war efforts. Similarly, the conflict between Israel and Hamas is analyzed, with skepticism over whether Hamas will ever be a reliable negotiating partner. Domestically, concerns about rural voters shifting away from the Democratic Party emerge as James Carville's remarks on rural Americans spark controversy, reinforcing the growing urban-rural divide in American politics. Beyond politics, the show touches on crime, policing, and social trends. The dangerous work of police officers is highlighted through incidents like a chainsaw-wielding man shot in an Illinois nursing home and a St. Louis officer severely injured in the line of duty. Discussions also include cultural shifts in masculinity, such as the "rules for men" debate over whether men should drink from straws or cross their legs a certain way.

I was introduced to a couple ages 79 and 72 who thought it might be too late to plan for LTC protection.

Host Sue Duffield's guest, Susan Piper, is a Christian singer, song and story writer who spends her days in nursing homes, wielding a guitar with her right hand and pushing her Havanese pup in a stroller with her left, continually being ministered to by the ones she seeks to serve. Sue met Piper at a Christian conference almost twenty-five years ago, and that meeting made quite an impression on both. Piper sings and speaks for retreats, women's luncheons, family events and church outreaches. Her new book, "A Blessing Is In It", contains the God-journey and stories of this once alcoholic to creative communicator of the gospel. "I visit them but they open their hearts to me. I ask them about their lives and they tell me their stories; sometimes it's the same story again, but it is so important it bears retelling. I knock and they are glad to see me. I offer myself as a stranger and they welcome me in without question. If the hymn is worthy of tears they cry; it was their mother's favorite, it was played at their daughter's funeral. They don't or can't hide their feelings, they are who they are. They follow me down the hall; they say they were sad before I came and please come again because I've made their day. They have done more than that for me. They've changed my life.  Excerpt from "He Leadeth Me," A Blessing Is In It By Susan Piper  www.susanpiper.com www.sueduffield.com  

The Future of Nursing Homes: Smarter Training & Stronger Partnerships For decades, nursing homes have struggled with staffing shortages and outdated training models. But what if we could change that? The Teaching Nursing Home Collaborative is an innovative program connecting schools of nursing with nursing homes to provide better training, improve workforce development, and enhance residents' quality of life. This initiative, which started in Pennsylvania, is now expanding nationwide. According to Nancy Zients, Chief Program & Strategy Officer at the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, the project was born out of the devastation of COVID-19 in nursing homes. "We knew there had to be a better way," she explains. Rather than simply increasing staff numbers, the program focuses on smarter training, interdisciplinary teamwork, and student engagement—bringing a fresh perspective to long-term care. Kim Ratliff, Director of Nursing at Wesleyan Hans Living Main Line, highlights the program's resident-centered focus. "We're improving quality of life by paying attention to what matters most—mentality, mobility, medications, and personal interests." Traditionally, nursing students get little exposure to nursing homes. Taylor McMahon, Director of Nursing at The Willows, notes that many students enter the program with misconceptions. "Once they experience long-term care firsthand, they see the depth of the work and the relationships they can build." The program has already led to new hires, with students choosing to stay in long-term care after graduation. With successful pilot programs in Pennsylvania, the Teaching Nursing Home Collaborative is now expanding. The goal? Transform nursing homes across the country into centers of learning, quality care, and professional development.
