ENERGY IN ACTION - EPISODE 072 The Navigation Project Lauren Kopsick and Ivy Braun are the founders of the Healthcare Navigation Project, formerly known as Parent It Forward. This is the first independent public healthcare literacy and life care project for all youth as they transition to adult care. They share their advice for transitional planning after pediatric care. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Can you share what The Healthcare Navigation Project does? We consist of five modules which includes basic healthcare navigation, navigating specialty healthcare, advocating for mental health, let's talk pharmacy and customer care and the future of healthcare. The program starts with basic healthcare navigation-- learning the 27 keywords you need to know and will teach you about developments and changes so patients and families are informed and they can share information with their doctors. This module also teaches patients how to pick a physician, about body language and telephone skills. A script is provided to call a physician's office so they know what questions they need to ask. In another module, we practice calling pharmacists and learning about medications and how to get them. In another module, we call 211, which is the keeper of every service for a state. What are the five guiding principles for advocating? If it doesn't make sense to you, it probably doesn't make sense and you shouldn't stop until you can make sense of it. 2. People are people-- good, bad and indifferent, and you don't have to engage with someone who makes you feel uncomfortable. 3. Research, research and more research. 4. Never give up anything once you have it. 5. The Patient Centered Medical Home. Have you presented to rare disease groups? We are working with the Taproot Foundation which acts as a recruiting firm for nonprofits. They're helping us with a program that will be in January 2023. What is the importance of sharing what we know with others to build their healthcare knowledge and move expectations forward? Patients and users of healthcare are the customers of the healthcare system, so if you're unhappy with a service, you have to push it forward. Learn the system and how to push forward and ask about other options. Keep pushing boundaries.

Do you have an experience that happened to you that you're reluctant to share with your audience? What would happen if you did? So often we feel like our stories are too uncommon or unrelatable or not interesting enough to include in our talks. What I see happen is that speakers generalize their stories - and by doing so they remove what makes a great story. It may seem counterintuitive, but it's the specificity and details of our stories, the very thing we think is uncommon, that makes them powerful. Sharing a deeply personal story, one that shaped who you are and how you understand yourself, is what can connect you to your audience and build trust. Building trust with your audience is especially important if you want to help them go deeper and think differently. You have to go first. Being vulnerable is not always easy. You may wonder if you're sharing too much or if your audience will look at you differently. But, the rewards are well worth it - not only for the audience but for your own personal development and confidence. My guest is Dr. Katrina Skinner, a pediatrician who is also the founder of Women in Pediatrics, an organization that provides unique, practical educational content and opportunities for female pediatricians. Katrina recently hosted an in-person retreat for Women in Pediatrics and she opened the event with her keynote talk sharing a very personal and vulnerable story. I invited Katrina on the podcast to talk about that experience and what she learned from it.  About My Guest: Six weeks after residency graduation, Dr. Katrina Skinner opened the doors to her pediatric practice in her rural Alabama hometown.

In a career focused on improving global health value through systems transformation, relationship-based primary care has been at the heart of Dr. Paul Grundy's crusade.  Dr. Grundy is a data transformation advocate, active writer, social entrepreneur, speaker on global healthcare transformation, humanitarian, diplomat, and trusted healer.  He has traveled the world more than any other physician that has ever lived and seen how other country's deliver health care.  Dr. Grundy is such a transformational force for social change that Nelson Mandela even called him a “good troublemaker” as someone who is always looking for innovative disruptions to benefit humankind.  We often reflect on those great leaders in American History who challenged us to be better…from JFK asking individuals to step up, and Ronald Reagan admonishing communists to join the free world, to Martin Luther King, Jr. who provided us with a powerful anthem for change with his work in advocating for civil rights.  In the healthcare history books Dr. Grundy will be known as a crusader with his own version of the “I have a Dream” vision for transformation! Our guest this week is Dr. Paul Grundy, commonly known in industry as “The Godfather of the Patient Centered Medical Home.” Although he didn't invent the medical home model, he gave it a voice, definition, structure, and made it real. The model is focused on that which is most important – the cultivation of a trusting patient relationship. Whether you call it a milestone or the finish line, that trusting relationship is critical in the race to value.

some common patient experiences and see the physician's side of things in order to truly become patient-centered. Is healthcare really poised to become more patient-centered? Shouldn't it already be focused on the patient? Let's take a look at a few topics around the patients experience and digital technology that promises sweeping changes to the industry. While healthcare is incredibly personal and private, we all have some shared experiences through the patient's journey that directly effect your health outcomes. Let's talk about how physicians and healthcare organizations operate and look at how designing health systems together, that we may create a paradigm shift and change in perspective with how we interact with healthcare systems.

Jonathan Weinkle, MD, is a general internist and general pediatrician who came to medicine after deciding against careers as a philosopher or a rabbi and is the author of Healing People, Not Patients. He starts off by teaching us how he was able to write a book about his patient interactions without violating HIPAA. His book illustrates the many ways in which it is important to really know our patients as people in order to effectively treat them. The paradox of this is that there never seems to be enough time to do this well, so Dr. Weinkle teaches us how to connect without losing efficiency. While cultural competency is usually discussed, Dr. Weinkle believes that cultural humility really the key – recognizing we don’t know what we don’t know about someone else’s culture. How to keep moving through a visit if you are really listening “with both ears,” but the patient continues to repeat themselves as if you aren’t listening. He also discusses the importance of allowing the patient to set the agenda and then establishing limits to that agenda at the start of the visit. He practices primary care medicine at the Squirrel Hill Health Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center and certified Patient Centered Medical Home, providing comprehensive care to patients of all ages with and without insurance and representing a broad diversity of languages, faiths, cultures, native lands, and socioeconomic backgrounds.  In addition, Dr. Weinkle serves as a medical advisor to the Closure project of the Jewish Healthcare Foundation (JHF), a project intended to improve the quality of care and change the individual experience at end-of-life.  Under the auspices of the JHF, he is crafting a program to help clinicians master the core competency of respectful communication with patients and families, based largely on the ideas in this book and the research underlying it.  Finally, Dr. Weinkle serves as Clinical Assistant Professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Family Medicine at his alma mater, and as Medical Director of the Physician Assistant Studies Program at Chatham University.  Driving all of these endeavors is a strong commitment to infusing his interactions with patients with the core values of his Jewish faith, beginning with the idea that both patient and provider are created in the Divine image and must act and be treated accordingly.

Date: October 10, 2013 Featuring:​ Ed Wagner, MD, MPH, MACP, Director Emeritus, MacColl Center for Health Care Innovation, Group Health Research Institute Trissa Torres, MD, MSPH, FACPM, Senior Vice President, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Kirsten Meisinger, MD, Medical Director, Union Square Family Health Center, Cambridge Health Alliance Thad Schilling, MD, Medical Director, Patient-Centered Medical Home, Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates-Medford (MA)  What does it take to be a high-functioning primary care practice today in the US? Some 30 sites of all shapes and sizes are in the midst of being studied in hopes of answering this very question. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the MacColl Center for Health Care Innovation selected these practices because of their exemplary and innovative staffing models. Figuring out the best ways to delegate  responsibilities and work as a team is one of the central needs for all primary care providers today, and midway through the project  known as LEAP (Learning from Effective Ambulatory Practices) WIHI will get a look at the success factors that LEAP has identified thus far. Dr. Ed Wagner of the MacColl Center is LEAP’s Project Director (along with Margaret Flinter, APRN, Phd) and he’ll be heading up the discussion on the October 10 WIHI: New Staffing Models for Primary Care. Dr. Wagner developed the Chronic Care Model, which was groundbreaking for office practices in the late 1990s and remains foundational to the creation of patient-centered medical homes today. Changing how providers and staff both divide up the work and share responsibility for every patient is a critical part of this transformation, and Drs. Kirsten Meisinger and Thad Schilling will use their time on this WIHI to share what they’ve been doing that’s earning their sites accolades and, most importantly, achieving better results.IHI’s Trissa Torres is no stranger to primary care transformation. Prior to joining IHI, Dr. Torres helped pioneer new care models for the Genesys Health System in Michigan and developed the concept and role of “Health Navigators” to help patients build upon an office visit and identify further support in the community. We hope you will listen!

Produced in collaboration with the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Date: May 22, 2014 Featuring: Mark Friedberg, MD, MPP, Natural Scientist, Professor, Pardee RAND Graduate School Christine A. Sinsky, MD, Medical Associates Clinic and Health Plans (Dubuque, Iowa); Director, American Board of Internal Medicine Don Goldmann, MD, Chief Medical and Scientific Officer, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Richard Baron, MD, President and CEO, American Board of Internal Medicine, ABIM Foundation The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is getting a hard look this year. In a study published in JAMA in February 2014, the largest of its kind, researchers followed 32 primary care practices certified as PCMHs over a three-year period, and were unable to find any impact on overall health care costs or patients’ utilization of health care services, including emergency departments. To put it mildly, this was not welcomed news by the health care improvement community — especially those who are looking to PCMHs as one jewel in the crown of a redesigned primary care system that offers patients more integrated, coordinated, cost-effective care. Headlines such as “Medical Homes Haven’t Saved Money or Substantially Improved Care” and “Medical Homes May Not Be The Answer” suggested just the opposite. This is not the entire story. The state of Minnesota recently issued a report on its success with PCMHs. And, where focused work is underway elsewhere, the uptake of process improvements is encouraging. But the study in JAMA has functioned as a sort of wake-up call, which many experts, including champions of PCMHs, believe is timely and beneficial. On this WIHI, we pulled together some of these experts for an intensive look at the early results and critical next steps for the patient-centered medical home.
