Send us a textI am truly excited about this new segment brought to ya' by Ochsner's Childrens' Hospital! Milk-Bank Miracles with Dr. Harley Ginsberg will shine light on what the NICU is and what hospitals do to keep our little, itty bitty nuggets alive! It really is miraculous.  Dr. Ginsberg is the founder and medical director of Mothers' Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist. He has written chapters for medical textbooks on neonatology and has published scientific medical articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of Perinatology, and Clinics in Perinatology among others. Dr. Ginsberg's professional interests include the use of donor human milk to prevent neonatal intestinal disease as well as the role of human milk in infection prevention.  I am blown away by this opportunity to partner with him and open a window for our audience to learn more not only about his Mother's Milk-Bank but also the guided hand to learn about the NICU! (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.)To learn more about this go to: www.ochsner.org_______________________________________________________________________________________________Then later we welcome New Orleans Council Member Lesli Harris to hear about what our city is doing to combat our homeless crisis. I met Council Member Harris one hot and blazey summer afternoon and since then, she has graced our show with her smile and passion for our city. I was so inspired by her devotion in this area of SO MANY areas to focus on. I learned by our interview that over 200 individuals have been rehabilitated through the "Home For Good Program" (https://homeforgoodneworleans.org)                                        Over 1,000 individuals have been taken off the street and ARE GIVEN recourses in all aspects of life; not to only get them off the streets, but to give them dignity, confidence and motivation to get back up and make the next day better than the last. I wish you could see Council Member Lesli Harris' eyes when she presents the raw data, stats and numbers that really are jolting. There were a couple of topics that we didn't see quite eye to eye, but that is what civil dialogue is and unfortunately has been lost in our country for some time now.  I came to her with urgency because of a situation that happened with me and my family in the Marigny a couple of months back. It startled me, and I felt helpless. I don't like that feeling, ESPECIALLY when my babies are with me.  My fear is that if the homeless numbers don't fall, the Governor will come in without warning and sweep the city before the city council, mayor, police chief etc. can do one thing. I am encouraged by the newly released nola.com article that showed Council Member Lesli's vision. IS WORKING. And that bottom line is all I truly worry about. Her candor, smile and authenticity won me over from the beginning and I am still living for it. THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS! Read the article I spoke about here,  Lesli Harris: New Orleans' homeless efforts are workingThank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

Send us a textThis week we have a couple of great Local interviews! Ochsner Children's Hospital has been one of our anchoring sponsors for years now and for our fifth season, We have created a BRAND NEW SEGMENT called         "A Mother's Giving: & the Milk Bank of Louisiana with Dr. Harley Ginsberg."Dr. Ginsberg is board certified in both pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine and has been on staff at Ochsner since 1987. He served as both the Section Head of neonatal medicine at Ochsner and the Medical Director of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Ochsner Baptist Medical Center from 1989 until 2021. Dr. Ginsberg managed the team at Ochsner that took care of babies during Hurricane Katrina. Currently he is Medical Director of the NICU at Ochsner Kenner Medical Center. Dr. Ginsberg is the Founder and Medical Director of Mothers Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist and is a member of the Standards Committee for the Human Milk Banking Association of North America. He has written chapters for medical textbooks on neonatology and has published scientific medical in articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, Pediatrics, Journal of Perinatology and Clinics in Perinatology. Fully accredited by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, Mothers' Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist was Louisiana's first human milk bank and the 24th nonprofit milk bank in the United States. Preterm infants are at risk for a condition called necrotizing enterocolitis, which results in inflamed intestines, bacterial infection and damage to the colon and intestines. Without proper care, the infant may die.Pasteurized donor human milk helps offset these potential dangers. Unfortunately, some mothers of preterm infants cannot produce their own milk. That's where Mothers' Milk Bank of Louisiana steps in.As of August 2020, Louisiana provides Medicaid coverage for using pasteurized donor human milk in a hospital. In 2022, Louisiana legislators approved inpatient and outpatient coverage for pasteurized donor human milk. Listen as Dr. Ginsberg and I dive into the Milk bank of Louisiana and hear the powerful impacts it has on our community and state! Go to https://www.ochsner.org/services/mothers-milk-bank-at-ochsner-baptist to learn more or to make a donation today!______________________________________________________________________________________________Then later we welcome back DIRTY DOGS!

Dr. Shannon Bernard and Michelle Luquette, representatives of On Track by 5 Alliance for the Lafayette Parish Public School System, join Discover Lafayette to discuss their department's mission to improve the quality and access of early care and education for children from birth to age 5 years of age. The research is clear: 90% of brain development occurs before age 5. Great work is being done to improve early childhood educational options for young people which is being funded through School Readiness Tax Credits and the generosity of Lafayette businesses. You can actually designate up to $5,000.00 of your state tax dollars that are owed each year to go to On Track by 5 Alliance, and then get a refundable tax credit of that same amount. How does this work? In January of 2008, Louisiana established a package of refundable state tax credits for businesses designed to support quality child care pursuant to LA R. S. 47:6107. A business is defined as any for-profit or not for-profit entity, which includes sole proprietors, partnerships, limited liability corporations, and corporations. Your CPA can help you file for this refund if you give them a heads up before filing your tax documents. See below for Michelle Luquette's contact information to ask questions on this detail. How to Claim the School Readiness Tax Credit for Businesses? To file the SRTC for businesses: a) Filing Individually: complete tax form IT-540; b) Filing as a corporation or franchise: complete tax form CIFT-620; c) Filing for non-profit organization: complete tax form CIFT - 620. These tax credits provide businesses with a dollar-for-dollar credit of up to $5000 for donations made to Child Care Resource and Referral agencies that are contracted by the Department of Education. On Track by 5 Alliance is such an agency and your contributions go directly to benefit children that live in Lafayette Parish. You can make this designation each and every year, get a tax refund, and know that your money is being dedicated to early childhood educational efforts for our must vulnerable and in-need young people. Pictures above were taken when Ochsner's Lafayette General adopted Campbell Academy Childcare Center. Ochsner's Lafayette General participates in the School Readiness Tax Credit as a non-profit, giving OTb5 $5000 contribution per entity in its health system and in return Ochsner's entities get their contribution back with the dollar-for-dollar refundable tax credit program. These dollars are invested directly into our publicly funded childcare centers and Campbell Academy was able to get a Frog Street Pre-K curriculum. OTb5's mission is to have all children in Lafayette Parish kindergarten ready! Paul Molbert said this is part of their "Healthy State" initiative as education is one of the key components of improving the healthcare status of our citizens. The School Readiness Tax Credit and ON TRACK programs here in Lafayette are so special because they serve learning centers and programs only in Lafayette Parish. Lafayette applied to be a Childcare Resource and Referral Agency just for Lafayette parish, so businesses know their dollars are staying in the parish and serving local centers when they designate . This tax credit not only boosts the economy by investing money back into the parish, but also ensures that children will become contributing members of society. In Lafayette Parish there are 58 publicly funded centers (meaning they accept childcare tax dollar assistance) and over 100 centers total which service over 6,000 children. Some publicly funded centers include Gifted Early Learning Center, Little Blessings, Little Miracles, and LA 4 (a public pre-school). In a typical school day, children are learning through play, such as dramatic play, sensory play, and manipulatives. Manipulatives are tools like string beads for counting and puzzles which develop the child's fine motor skills.

A rate critical to attain better care for patients, I'm gonna say, is enlightened leadership—maybe dyad leadership—at a clinical organization. I am saying this because without enlightened leaders, it'd be harder to build from the blueprint that Beau Raymond, MD, talks about today on the show. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. I'd say an enlightened leader is someone—and this is my definition, but it's a term that Tom Lee, MD, brought up first in an earlier episode (EP445)—an enlightened leader really cares about providing better patient care at an affordable price. They have a manifesto to that end, if you will. They also have studied, likely, and understand how change management works because every improvement requires change. They get the bit about people, processes, and technology being intertwined and what operational excellence means. Further, they are probably doing or considering many of the things that Robert Pearl, MD, talked about in episode 412. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there's a new term floating around called administrative harm. There's a study. Admin harm refers as much to what administrators—who I refuse to call leaders at this context because I'm talking about the not good administrators, so let's be clear—but I'd say administrative harm results from what the administrators choose not to do as much as what they choose to do. It is actually a thing to be an enlightened leader, especially in these profit-driven times. It's really tough, actually, and nothing anyone should take for granted. So, maybe this whole show is kind of a shout-out to the enlightened leaders out there. Thanks for doing what you do. Okay, so this said, and it needed to be said, let's talk blueprint for better care in the conversation that follows. Dr. Beau Raymond says, step 1, right out of the gate, set clear goals. Then step 2, engage others throughout the organization to together build the framework needed to achieve said goals. Engaging frontline folks and others is really the only way that any proposed framework will actually work in the real world. Listen to the shows with Karen Root (EP381) and Ashleigh Gunter (EP447) for just one proof point after another that what I say is based in fact. Step 3 of the blueprint to better outcomes that Beau Raymond, MD, talks about today is get your data. We talk a lot about plan sponsors and the getting of data, but same thing applies to clinical organizations. For clinical organizations, the getting of data means longitudinal data. The need for longitudinal data has come up in multiple shows, most recently the one with Dan Nardi (Spotlight Episode), and this is just one example of why getting the whole bag of data really matters. Dan said on that earlier show, it's often a thing that oncologists are unaware of how many of their patients are winding up in the ER for nausea after chemo, which, by the way, is the most common cause for readmission. And the reason for this is lots of patients travel to their oncologist but go to a local ER in a different health system. The show with Brendan Keeler (EP454) about the Particle v Epic lawsuit in general dustup over who gets the data is super relevant here. That's what I was thinking when I was talking with Dr. Raymond, and maybe it just popped in your head, too. Or just continuing this topic of the importance of longitudinal data, how many specialists, in almost any specialty, see a patient and then don't know what happened to that patient subsequently? Or even primary care in transactional models? So, step 3 here is get your data and also, as part of that, figure out how to make sure everybody understands the data and also understands that it is fair. Eric Gallagher (EP405), Dr. Raymond's dyad counterpart over at Ochsner, talked about this some in that episode. So did Kenny Cole, MD (EP431), interestingly, also from Ochsner. Amy Scanlan, MD (EP402) mentions it as well. Step 4 in the blueprint to measurably better outcomes that I discuss with Dr. Beau Raymond, data collection and data management probably need to be system-wide because … yeah, longitudinal and etc. But the “What are you gonna do now with the insights that you derived from the data?” is pretty local. The obstacles and enablers are going to be different depending on the geography. For example, an area with a large Vietnamese population and a big variation in colorectal screening rates as a priority, just logically, is gonna have a program that is in no way suited to roll out in an area with, say, a large Black or African American population with high hypertension rates. Priorities and programs are just different depending on the geography. So, step 4 here is, ask each region, based on the data, what fixes they're going to own. What will they take ownership on and commit to improving? What I thought was interesting in this interview is kind of the way that equity comes up between ethnic groups or between genders. In and of itself, obviously, striving for equity is critical. But also, if you're trying to improve quality across the board and you see disparities in care, figuring out what is going on with the group experiencing the worse outcomes is also just operational excellence. You don't want to be a solution looking around for a problem, after all; so, you need to figure out the actual problems for the actual people experiencing the problems to avoid that. Those are the only solutions that are actually gonna work. Step 5 is to learn from each other. Maybe not a whole program is flat-out transferable from one geography to another, but that doesn't mean that nothing is transferable either. As usual, it's about being thoughtful and nuanced and finding that productive middle. At Ochsner, they do these cool weekly primary care huddles to share learnings and goings-on that Dr. Raymond explains in the show that follows. Throughout all of these steps in this blueprint, there is obviously a need to align how the practice or system is getting paid for the time and capital expenditures, of course. And Dr. Raymond addresses this and interestingly says something similar to what Dr. Tom Lee (EP445) and Scott Conard, MD (EP391) have said on earlier shows: that a lot of times compensation for improving care, if you do it in an operationally excellent way, can be revenue positive for systems with a combination of both FFS (fee for service) and value-based reimbursement. Underline, however, the part about having an enlightened leader who cares about clinical quality for that to work out. Dr. Beau Raymond, my guest today is chief medical officer for Ochsner Health Network. Ochsner Health Network, by the way, includes Ochsner and some other health system partners. There's also a bunch of small independent practices of one to two docs.

“Upscaling soil moisture from point scale to field scale: towards a general model” with Dr. Tyson Ochsner Field scale soil moisture measurements can be difficult to attain. Point scale data can be too small to give field scale advice, and data gathered from satellites often lack important specificity. In this episode, Tyson joins me to discuss a new method to upscale point data into field scale soil moisture estimates. Tune in to learn: ·         Why field-scale measurements are important for both grower and researcher needs, yet are difficult to obtain ·         What are the differences between fast, thermal, and epithermal neutrons ·         How measuring epithermal neutrons  can correlate with soil moisture ·           If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/vzj2.20244 This paper is always freely available.

Ochsner Lafayette General's Patrick Gandy and Marie Lukaszeski join Discover Lafayette to discuss the hospital system's careful growth and planned design to meet the needs of the region today and into the future. The only Level II Trauma Center in Southwest Louisiana, its services extend to patients "from the bayou to the border," stretching along I-10. Incredibly, the hospital system treats 255,000 unique patients per year. Patrick Gandy, a licensed CPA who has been with the organization for 31 years, began serving as President and CEO of in March 2021. He previously served in several senior management positions at Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center, Ochsner Lafayette General Surgical Hospital and Ochsner Lafayette General Imaging. His tenure as CEO began right after Lafayette General Health merged with Ochsner Health of New Orleans in September 2020, and he successfully led the hospital system through the trying times of the pandemic. A native of Shreveport, Patrick loves the community and says he has been "happily married to a girl from Arnaudville since 1998." Marie Lukaszeski, Director of Planning and Design, is an Arnaudville native who graduated in Interior Design at UL-Lafayette (formerly USL) in 1995. She is certified by the American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers ("AAHID"), the highest standard for the knowledge needed and experience required to address acute, ambulatory and residential care environments. After working with other industry professionals and a local architectural firm, Marie opened Interior Design Solutions in 2009 and became a consultant to Lafayette General. They began a series of expansions to meet the growing demands of the healthcare landscape, including expansions to its surgical platform and Emergency Department. Her service as Facilitator and Project Manager overseeing the projects was so successful that Patrick jokes, "We wanted her all the time!" So Marie and her team joined the healthcare system in 2015. Marie Lukaszeski is an artist at heart and in practice, and she brings that aesthetically pleasing touch to Ochsner Lafayette General's design concepts! "There was a study done with prisoners that showed that blues and greens were more calming to your physiology than reds and yellows. We tend to go with a soothing, neutral palate for our interiors. But most of my time goes into ensuring that our spaces are safe, help the staff interact easily, and function successfully. I work with third party vendors and a whole team of Security, IT, and FF & E (furniture, fixtures and equipment) people to make sure that vital equipment, patient beds, etc. to make sure that the building is being designed to meet our standards. We have to meet licensing standards mandated by the State of Louisiana." Ochsner Lafayette General has a rich history of significant contributions to our community's well-being. It began in 1911 as a 6-bed sanitarium and has grown into an 8-hospital health system, the regional hub for Ochsner, and a leader in healthcare. Patrick mentioned the health system's three core principles that define its mission: "First, we are always focused on patients first and then create our organization around their needs. Second, Transparency in everything we do is incredibly important as a philosophy for our organization. Third, We have to constantly evolve and assess how we can best adapt our business model to take care of our patients. " The first major milestone in Lafayette General's growth was in 2009 when it acquired St. Martin Hospital in Breaux Bridge. Patrick says "It was the first hospital outside of Lafayette. That was the beginning of us becoming a regional healthcare system in South Central Louisiana. That was a defining moment for us as well as rural healthcare in Acadiana. We want to invest in whatever a local community can support because local healthcare is the best healthcare." U.S. News & World Report named Ochsner Lafayette General Me...

SURVIVING TO THRIVING, 106min., Australia Directed by Karin Isabelle Ochsner As a fearless explorer with a disability, surfer and surf coach Karin Ochsner immerses herself in the raw beauty of nature. Her remarkable healing journey unfolds in the face of adversity. http://www.surfingtosurvive.com/film2 https://www.instagram.com/surfingtosurvive/ Get to know the filmmaker: This film is the sequel to a documentary about my health challenge, which has been organised by my friends. The purpose was to help me in my incredibly difficult struggles to survive with my countless severe allergies. During the filming, I was very sick and wasn't able to put the messages in the documentary which I really wanted to pass on, hence I decided to do a second one to do so. The first documentary gave me so much support from my community and clarity in how to manage my disability, it improved my situation so much that I then could focus on filming my own story.

In 2005, Austria's most prominent far-right party proclaimed a “Third Turkish Siege of Vienna.” The campaign warned voters that, like their ancestors who were almost overrun by the Ottoman Empire four centuries ago, they were being culturally invaded by Muslims. The campaigners hoped to use long-past historical events to shape the behavior and sentiments of modern-day voters. But did it work? The strategy sparked a surge in the far-right's vote share and a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment, according to a paper in the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics. The authors, Christian Ochsner and Felix Roesel, studied areas with ties to the historical trauma of the Sieges of Vienna and explained how political innovators reinvigorated latent xenophobic narratives that mobilized voters. Ochsner recently spoke with Tyler Smith about the recent political environment in Austria, the use of historical parallels, and the impact on Muslim minorities.

Blake Watts, channel partnerships leader for Ochsner Health, has a busy agenda for The Council's Employee Benefits Leadership Forum [EBLF] this year. Speaking with Leader's Edge on the first day of the meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Watts said he was looking forward to conversations with his peers on healthcare point solutions and partnering with the consulting community. In this podcast, Watts dives into “point solution fatigue” and research that has thrown the value of these services in healthcare into question. He also discusses Ochsner's focus on value-based care and addressing health challenges in the company's home state of Louisiana, among other topics.

In this episode of What's What BR, we are joined by Dr. Bourgoyne, a first-time guest and an expert in allergy and immunology from Ochsner's Baton Rouge. Dr. Bourgoyne discusses a range of topics including the high prevalence of allergies in Louisiana, misconceptions about common allergens, and the importance of exposure to build a resilient immune system. He also explains the role of immunotherapy (allergy shots) in retraining the immune system, the dangers of mold and how to manage it, and the critical need for carrying epinephrine auto-injectors (EpiPen) for severe food allergies. This episode is a comprehensive guide for managing allergies and improving quality of life.   00:00 Introduction to the Episode and Guest 00:32 Understanding Allergies and Immunology 01:26 Seasonal Allergies and Regional Differences 03:38 The Rise of Allergies: Cleanliness and Immune System Changes 05:08 Mosquitoes and Allergic Reactions 16:34 Navigating Food Allergies and Treatments 23:33 The Role of EpiPens in Allergy Management 27:53 Closing Thoughts and Future Discussions

The 5-year surgery program is expected to grow, training a new class of three residents per academic year, wth the inaugural class beginning July 1, 2024. Ochsner is also pursuing accreditation of Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Transitional Year Programs. On April 16, 2024, Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center, the region's only Level 2 Trauma Center, celebrated the launch of its new General Surgery Residency Program, which will begin July 1, 2024. Located inside the new, recently constructed tower at Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center, the completed Graduate Medical Education space will be 17,115 square feet. Phase 1 includes eight resident sleep rooms, a resident lounge, classrooms, rounding rooms and lactation rooms. Phase 2 will house numerous simulation labs and additional classroom space. Ziad Ashkar, MD, will serve as the Designated Institutional Official (DIO), ensuring the program meets the rigorous accreditation standards set by the ACGME. Dr. Dennis Eschete will serve as the Program Director for General Surgery. About 25 surgeons will be rotating, with the core group of teaching physicians being Dr. Willard Mosier, Ochsner Lafayette General's head of trauma, Dr. Jason Breaux, Dr. Michael Horaist and Dr. Racheed “Joe” Ghanami. The new residency program is both a strategic response to the escalating physician shortage and a model for innovative care solutions leading to increased patient access. In a 2024 report, the Association of American Medical Colleges projected that physician demand will grow faster than supply, leading to a projected total shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. Moreover, Louisiana is projected to rank third nationally for a shortage of physicians by 2030, according to a Human Resources for Health analysis. Speaking of the physician shortage being experience here and nationwide, Dr. Amanda Logue shared that 140,000 patients came through Ochsner University Clinics in 2023. "It's a huge volume, there's a huge need for more physicians." Ochsner Lafayette General's new surgery residency program doesn't replace its ongoing partnership with LSU School of Medicine's at University Hospital & Cinics; it complements it. Dr. Logue stated, "The reality is there's a critical need for more physicians, which is why we started our own program in addition to the existing one. This program also signifies our deep commitment to advancing medical education and addressing the dire need for surgeons in our healthcare system." Importantly, data shows that most physicians practice within 70 miles of where they trained, so Ochsner hopes that Lafayette will be a compelling place for their residents to start their medical careers. The goal of the program is not only to provide top-tier educational opportunities, such as training at the region's only Level 2 Trauma Center, but also to inspire innovation and compassion among the residents. The residents will learn to navigate the complexities of healthcare delivery with a patient-first approach, having the opportunity to take part in cutting-edge research and be at the forefront of developing new surgical techniques. Ochsner Health is Louisiana's top healthcare educator of physicians. Annually Ochsner and its partners educate thousands of healthcare professionals. It currently offers 33 Acreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education programs, training over 330 residents and fellows each year. Dr. Logue is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Clinical Informatics, having completed her undergraduate training at LSU in microbiology,

April is National Autism Awareness Month and who better to learn from than an Ochsner Children's Hospital professional? This week I am happy to welcome Caroline Turner, LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker at  at Michael R. Boh Center for Child Development. ( Over on Jeff Highway!) Caroline dives in with us to explain to me exactly what is Autism Spectrum disorder? How do we detect it? What signs to look for and what we need to do if we do suspect something like this in our child. She connects us with resources to help not only  learn about this ever increasing developmental disability but empower the parents with knowledge and even more resources. To learn more: www.ochsner.org/bohThen later we welcome our brand new sponsor, The Gift of Adoption fund! Doug Munster, fellow gay dad, heads the GOA fund in Georgia. Did you know that less than 2% of Americans complete an adoption? 2%! To me, that is mind boggling with the amount children that are in this country that needs a forever home. Although a dismal number for adoptions, 30% of Americans have contemplated adopting! That number to me is inspiring. That shows me that the desire is out there. So why does it end with 2% of completions? 81% cite the high cost of adoption as a primary barrier. This is where The Gift of Adoption fund comes in. This amazing non profit helps hopeful parents with the last bit that they may need to cross that line to finalize. Through the GOA fund over $18 Million in adoption assistance grants have been awarded and 5,652 children with the gift of FAMILY. To find out more and to donate visit: www. giftofadoption.orgThank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

Emergencies can happy out of nowhere! Especially when you have a kid... even more when you have children.  I learned quickly as each of our kids were born that situations can go south really fast. I remember as a new parent how scared I would get when our first newborn baby would act differently. That is why I thought it would be helpful to create a brand new segment that allows our audience to submit their own questions as it relates to them.**With that said, This is for entertainment purposes ONLY. If you have ANY hesitation about your child's health, PLEASE seek advice from your child's pediatrician.**We asked our audience members to submit their own Pediatric Emergency Questions and for fun, the first question chosen by Dr. Mutter wins a $25 gift card to Rouse's Markets to help make some groceries. I want to be sure to thank Rouse's for their generosity.Listen to find out who the winner is! Then, later we welcome Ochsner's Athletic trainer to talk to us about why March is Athletic Training Month. I can only imagine how my kids would act later on in life watching from the side lines from any sport. They would be kicking and screaming to get back in the game. Sometimes, that could be a crucial mistake. Find out the 7 signs that your kid is ready to get back to their sport. Destini Manuel, LAT, ATC, Athletic trainer from Ochsner Andrews Sports Medicine Institute is here to go over all of the signs we as parents need to look for!As always thank you to our talented guests this week.

For a full transcript of this episode, click here. There's this meme that's going around on the interwebs with the caption, “Sometimes the shortest distance in between two places isn't a straight line.” What? Yeah, because actually there's three dimensions in the real world. So, when we all consider the real world, understanding the contours of reality and aligning with them is the only way to devise a winning strategy—not only if you're timing rubber balls getting dropped off straight or curved slopes. I'm saying this because I've seen (and you've seen) a whole lot of great ideas fail because someone draws a very elegant straight line on a whiteboard, calls it the fastest and most efficient way to get from here to a desired outcome … and then the plan ultimately fails. What contours am I talking about taking into account right now? Oh, pretty much the entirety of US healthcare. If you combine the complexities and perverse incentives of the industry itself plus the art and science of medicine plus epidemiology and social determinants and I'm probably forgetting other dimensions, you have contours that are mountain ranges. Not considering the reality of those elevations and just thinking there's some kind of straight line here to be found is really a kind of delusion. Now, investors and C-suites may like these delusions, but let's just get real: It's not gonna actually work out as written. One case study that I am talking about is digital health solutions or pharma companies even or pretty much anyone who thinks that the fastest way to increase sales is to talk about the product, let's just say as one example. That's the straight line to growth: Talk about the product. Another one is stripping away things that feel like they're a waste of time in the name of efficiency without actually checking if you're cutting into essential stuff. I talk about this at length with Kate Wolin, ScD, in an episode coming up. Jodilyn Owen has a thing or two to say on this point in episode 421 also. But let me be clear: I'm not talking about anyone listening to the show today making this mistake, at least wholesale. We all make it incrementally; it's hard to avoid. But you get this. That's why you're here. You get that the fastest path anywhere is truly understanding the problems faced by customers. And then it's showing how the product or whatever you're doing helps solve those problems. No one cares how efficient or safe your thing is if it's accomplishing something that no one cares about, no one gets paid for, and/or can figure out how to deploy or use. This is what the entire episode last week, episode 430 with Barbara Wachsman, was about. Why is all of this relevant? It's actually what makes Relentless Health Value relevant, frankly. Many listeners—and shout-outs to Nate Walker and MaryCarol Evans—say that this is why they listen to Relentless Health Value and what Relentless Health Value helps them with: finding those contours, understanding reality so that it can be aligned with. And on the show today, Kenny Cole, MD, I gotta say, could be really impactful in this regard as well as in others. Nate Walker wrote, “[Relentless Health Value] inspires me every day to stay true to my desire to make a difference in healthcare for patients by adding transparency and helping to connect the dots within this fragmented system.” MaryCarol Evans has alluded to the same thing multiple times as well and often highlights that Relentless Health Value helps her think through and identify the small things that are possible—she says there's plenty of them—that have a huge impact on the lives of plan members. Dr. Kenny Cole is from Ochsner Health System, and I love this conversation today because it has lessons for anybody working in a clinic or managing a clinic who wants to learn from a master. But it also is really interesting for anyone who's trying to work with, alongside of, or sell to a clinical practice or health system that is pulling away from the status quo, that is standardizing care and working as a team, one that is earning the trust of its patients, and also one that is figuring out how to reinvent the business model of healthcare such that clinical pathways and care flows are aligned with financial viability. That's really, obviously, the holy grail here. We talk today about how to achieve clinical and financial success, even if the financial models are all over the map. We talk about how to create a practice model or a clinical model that might appeal to clinicians and keep them from being burnt out while, at the same time, ensure that patients are getting the kind of outcomes everyone can be proud of and the place doesn't go bankrupt either. This episode reminded me a lot of the conversation with Scott Conard, MD (EP391)—there's lots of complementary points. The shows with David Carmouche, MD (EP316, AEE15, EP343) from when he was at Ochsner are also pretty relevant here. Some of the points that Dr. Kenny Cole makes today also align very much with what Rik Renard (EP427) was talking about a few weeks ago. But regardless of where you sit or what you're trying to do, this show is a great one to really get a bead on the lay of the land to find the actual shortest path between here and there, which is not gonna be (most likely) an obviously straight line. Dr. Kenny Cole makes, I'm gonna say, four main points by my counting; and they are as follows: 1. Clinical teams have to deliver care wherein outcomes are measurable, and it has to be done in such a way that those clinical teams are accountable for the outcomes that are generated. 2. Clinical teams need to really see with their own two eyes and believe that a clinical goal that they've been given is possible. 3. Care flows are critical here, which means getting everyone on the same page about what best-practice care looks like and operationalizing how that clinical excellence will be achieved. 4. Building trust with patients and connecting with patients cannot be underestimated, and care flows need to not only standardize care so that it can be delivered quicker and easier but also facilitate patient relationships. Dr. Kenny Cole is a primary care internist. He sees patients one day a week. The other days, he serves as a system vice president for Ochsner Health, which is a large integrated delivery system. In this role, he designs and develops new care models. If I'm making recommendations for what to listen to next, I'd go with episode 412 with Robert Pearl, MD—he talks about a model to lead healthcare transformation and clinical excellence. Then episode 391 with Dr. Scott Conard gets into what happens in the real world when the financial model is misaligned with excellent care. Lastly, episode 343 with Dr. David Carmouche. Oh, two last things and new topics: First, thanks to Santos-L-Halper, Nina Lathia, and KC64789 for some really nice reviews this month. I read them. They make me happy. Thanks so much for leaving them. And lastly, heads up that Rule of Three (ro3) has an annual March Healthcare Classic that is currently ongoing. It's pretty cool what they do. They have a very august panel that debates which trends will reign supreme in their impact on healthcare in 2024. The committee includes: ·      Dr. David Carmouche, SVP Healthcare Delivery, Walmart Health ·      Eric Gallagher, CEO, Ochsner Health Network ·      Leah Binder, CEO, The Leapfrog Group ·      Anisha Sood, Chief Financial & Strategy Officer, First Choice Health Follow along with the experts through the ro3 March Healthcare Classic at https://ro3.com/healthcare-classic/.
