All of our North Texas hospitals serve the communities surrounding them. They are also incredible economic drivers of employment and many service-related businesses that support them. Healthcare is a valuable community-based service that often affects lifestyle, not just health. Angela Morris, Senior Director, Community Relations at Parkland Health & Hospital System joins us to describe the vast reach Parkland has across North Texas, especially in Dallas County.

Perhaps not serious enough to treat, but as he says, it is a disease of aging for men. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Spring Break is around the corner and as parents, we all want our young people, especially our daughters, to have a good time. That is especially true after what all we have been through the past two years.

Dr. Jim Dunn, executive vice president and chief people and culture officer for Atrium Health, one of the most comprehensive and highly integrated not-for-profit healthcare systems in the country. As a member of the executive leadership team, Dunn leads teams that focus on the engagement of Atrium Health teammates – from recruitment through retirement – including workforce relations, diversity and inclusion, compensation, benefits, learning and organizational development, teammate health, corporate and community outreach and government relations. A national expert in culture, diversity and inclusion and the employee experience, Dunn joined Atrium Health in April 2018. Previously, Dunn served as the executive vice president and chief talent officer for Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas, Texas. Jim holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and macro-environmental science from Howard University, a master’s degree in business administration from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a Master of Public Health degree in occupational health from Emory University. Additionally, Jim holds multiple doctoral degrees in education, organizational development and healthcare administration from Emory University, Benedictine University and the Medical University of South Carolina, respectively. In this episode Tracy interviews Dr. Jim Dunn- executive vice president and chief people and culture officer for Atrium Health – on his leadership philosophy and beliefs around enhancing employee well-being. Tracy and Jim discuss the importance of employee health and well-being within the health ecosystem, and the connection between employee well-being and patient outcomes. Jim Dunn Show Notes Employee well-being, including the well-being of physicians, is vital to the well-being of patients. As caregivers, those who serve on the frontlines of healthcare, are accustomed to working in selfless ways. Physicians and other health system employees must be taught to ‘put their own facemask on first’ to best take care of others. Solutions relating to employee health and well-being are personal- and never one size fits all. Content and support should be designed on a variety of topics and in a variety of formats to help ensure maximum benefit across a workforce. Offerings should be supplemented with 1:1 manager support and check-ins. Atrium has train 40,000+ team mates to become ‘compassion champions’ through their Code Lavender program, designed as a response to teammate stress, burnout, and mental health challenges At the national level it has become a requirement that healthcare organizations, and all organizations, demonstrate that they care about people as people instead of a means to productivity. When considering how to alleviate burnout within their own organizations- health ecosystem leaders should look to making improvements in administrative burden where possible. The national shortage of healthcare workers is in small and large part due to physical/emotional trauma and burnout. An important role of health ecosystem leaders at the executive level is to take care of those who take care of patients. This care allows frontline healthcare workers to contribute themselves more wholly to their work. Investing in leadership development is a meaningful lever for creating a culture where teammates can thrive. Health ecosystem leaders must learn how to have authentic supportive discussions, demonstrate connection and vulnerability, and deeply listen to and empower their teams to improve processes and remove frustrations.

Next, we explore the topic that is all-too-common in many workplaces these days, including hospitals. In healthcare, a dramatic up-tick in harsh, angry responses from our customers/patients has caused some healthcare workers to leave the profession, and others fear for their safety in what should be one of the safest, most caring places anywhere.

There are two hot topics around the Covid-19 pandemic this week - what was behind the CDC's sudden announcement that masks were not required for those who have been fully vaccinated. What triggered this change, and was it too soon?

What role does technology play? What role does live and in-person opportunities play, mentoring and all the other various and sundry methodologies that we use for training people? But it's really about kind of getting our arms around the world has changed.

Individuals living with mental health diagnoses are often marginalized by society, and stigmatization and discrimination may form a barrier to their recovery and social integration. There are a lot of strategies to help combat the stigma associated with mental illness, including sharing information about mental illness; talking openly about mental health; using person-first, non-discriminatory language; and showing compassion. One of the most important strategies is to empower the individual with the behavioral health diagnosis to share their personal story and journey. In this interview, we’ll hear from one such individual, David, as he shares his personal journey from being diagnosed with bipolar disorder to recovery with Dr. Suresh Sureddi and Ms. Cathy Judd. He shares what mental illness feels like for him, the importance of familial and community supports to his recovery, and his experience of stigma related to his mental health condition.

One promise of electronic medical records (EMRs) was to reduce medication errors. That may not have occurred since one type of error, illegible orders, has been replaced by another: Order sets may incorrectly match a patient and necessary treatments. In this JAMA Performance Improvement podcast, we review a case in which guideline-based care was incorporated into an order set, then the guideline changed but the order set did not, resulting in a post-STEMI patient receiving β-blockers when they were contraindicated. Interviewees included Arjun Gupta, MD, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Jennifer L. Rabaglia, MD, MSc, Parkland Health and Hospital System, Dallas, Texas. Learning Objectives: To understand the role of β-blocker treatment in patients with acute myocardial infarction; to understand how EMR order sets should be developed and maintained. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2018.0845

Date: July 13, 2017 Featuring: Kedar Mate, MD, Chief Innovation and Education Officer, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) ​Kavita Bhavan, MD, MHS, Director of Infectious Diseases/OPAT Clinic, Parkland Center for High Impact Clinical Outcomes Studies, Associate Professor Internal Medicine, UT Southwestern Medical Center​ Alex Anderson, Research Associate, IHI Patients undergoing dialysis typically do so in a hospital or health care facility. Most people don't question the need to have experienced health care staff on hand or what's considered a safe environment for the treatments. But that might be changing. A growing number of patients in Sweden have 24/7 access to special units at health systems where they schedule and conduct their hemodialysis themselves. And, inspired by Sweden, a small number of US nephrology centers are trying something similar. Even more ambitious: One of the largest safety net hospitals in the US has been teaching a few thousand patients how to administer their own IV antibiotics at home. A team at Parkland Health and Hosptial System in Dallas, led by WIHI guest Dr. Kavita Bhavan, wanted to see if a population of patients without health insurance, whose multiple hospital days on an antibiotic drip weren't being reimbursed by anyone, might do as well and maybe even better than patients with insurance, receiving nurse-assisted IV antibiotic therapy at home, at an infusion center, or skilled nursing facility. The answer seems to be, "Yes." This is patient engagement at a whole new level. Listen to this episode of WIHI to hear more about this groundbreaking quality improvement work.
