Designing a health equity playbook starts with a deep understanding of the patients you serve. Successful playbooks have components that build on the patient experience, the protocols that are in place to ensure the cancer program is meeting the unique needs of all its patients, and staff education and and training on how to best serve those different patient populations. When developing a health equity playbook, cancer programs need to break down existing silos and ensure that all key players are involved in developing strategies and identifying how the cancer program is going to use this tool to improve care. Guest: Maria Hernandez, PhD President and COO Impact4Health, LLC   Quote: “Hopefully, we will get to a place in the future where every single health system's strategy for providing the best quality of care always has equity in mind…a hospital system of the future will have in its DNA the ability to look at its operations and understand that health equity must be in everything we do.”  Hear more about how to develop and activate a health equity playbook in the 2-hour ACHE accredited session, More than Words: Leveraging Governance and Partnerships to Advance Health Equity, at the ACCC 41st National Oncology Conference, October 9-11, 2024, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Dr. Frank C. Worrell was born in Port of Spain, Capital of Trinidad and Tobago, and he remembers growing up in an area where the only running water in the house was from the tap in the kitchen. In this podcast interview, Dr. Worrell begins talking about his academic and professional journey by recalling where he and his parents grew up and how hard his parents worked to support the family. His parents were born in little fishing villages in Trinidad and Tobago, and he shares that his “mum eventually became an elementary school teacher.” Dr. Worrell liked education and his favorite subject growing up was English, so he was going to study English at the University of the West Indies, Trinidad campus. However, he shares an experience that changed his life and started him down the path of psychology. In fact, it was his interest in psychology that made him leave Trinidad “because psychology was not offered as a subject, even undergraduate, at the University of the West Indies.” He further explains “I'm the first in my family, the third of four kids, and the first to go to college, and so they agreed to let me go to Canada.” Dr. Worrell shares how he ended up attending the University of Western Ontario for his BA in Psychology and his MA in Educational Psychology. He explains why he changed his major from English to psychology and reveals how his father helped him while he was in school. In particular, his father came out of retirement and started working two jobs to pay for his tuition and he encouraged him to apply for a Commonwealth Scholarship which helped pay for his junior and senior year in college. After completing his master's degree in educational psychology at Western, Dr. Worrell went back to Trinidad and was an English teacher and school counselor for a year. Then he was a Principal of a private, low-tuition school where the kids had been kicked out or flunked out of the regular school system and explains this is where he “got very interested in the factors that pushed kids out of school.” After spending a couple years in Trinidad, Dr. Worrell thought that he would go back to Canada and probably go back to Western to do his PhD, however, one of his best friends was at UC Berkeley and asked him if he was considering applying to Berkeley. His friend sent him a catalog and he ended up applying to many different schools that offered a graduate school psychology program. Out of all the schools in California that offer a graduate program in psychology, Dr. Worrell explains why he selected UC Berkeley. Dr. Worrell completed his postdoctoral work in clinical training at the Center for Educational Diagnosis and Remediation (CEDAR) Clinic within the College of Education at Pennsylvania State University. We then discuss his first professorship as an Assistant Professor in the School of Psychology at Penn State where he remained from 1994 to 2003 as an Assistant and Associate Professor before going back to UC Berkeley as an Associate Professor in Cognition and Development. Dr. Worrell eventually becomes the Director of the School Psychology Program, Faculty Director of the Academic Talent Development Program and the California College Preparatory Academy. He is also an Affiliate Professor of the Social and Personality Program in the Department of Psychology and a Distinguished Professor of Education in the School Psychology Program at UC Berkeley. Dr. Worrell is the author of more than 300 articles and book chapters, and he has received numerous awards for his teaching, service, and research. Recently, he received the Distinguished Lecturer award from the National Association of School Psychologists. Dr. Worrell and his co-editors Paula Olszewski-Kubilius and Rena F. Subotnik received the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) Scholar Book of the Year Award two years in a row for two different books. They received the NAGC Scholar Book of the Year Award in 2019 for their book “Talent Development as a framew...

S1E4: Simplifying the Healthcare Administrative Burden with Jeff Goldsmith, PhD, President of Health Futures. Healthcare's administrative burden, documentation, and billing requirements continue to rapidly increase. But the move to a digital environment has hidden the continued explosion of content. Now in some cases the information is part of the additional data we are capturing on our patients. Our ability to capture data and incorporate this into the health record is no longer limited to basic vitals intermittently gathered manually. And this data explosion is only set to further explode as we start to include the unexplored large data sets of genomics, proteomics, and the biome to mention a few. And with this the continued demands placed the clinical staff to document their activities in order to receive payment. How do we de-complexify healthcare? We don't need or want Moneyball medicine where the data is entered by the very staff, we are wanting to deliver the best possible care. Your better pill to swallow is to simplify or as Jeff puts it, de-complexify the system, apply Ockham's razor to every one of your non-direct patient related processes and remove the ones that don't add value.

NTERVIEW BEGINS AT 28:30 When we think of great philosophers we think Plato, Confucius, Voltaire, Hume. One name rarely mentioned by the average person is Manly P. Hall, but to those in the know, Manly P Hall may be one of the 20th centuries most prolific minds. But who was Manly P. Hall? Philosopher? Writer? Esoterocist? Lecturer? Mystic? Teacher?

1:00 - The trajectory of Leo's career. Biology, Pharmacology and English Literature. First job was working at a CRO and commercial incubator doing Phase I studies. 4:00 The power of language. The way we articulate can mean what we intend to communicate doesn't match what the listener hears. Leo “places science in context” to derive meaning and relevance, and from this, you derive value. If not relevant, you merely convey information. There's no value to the listener. 5:25 Next career step was working in the clinical research department of a biotech company, writing protocols and performing clinical investigations. Thereafter, having submitted the NDA, started to get involved in product support— help sales reps and product managers because of a deep understanding of the data. Found the commercial side incredibly interesting and from there was head-hunted into medical communications agency. 8:00 The value of both understanding the clinical, commercial aspects and also having the talent to “tell the value story.” 9:00 Going from business development in strategic publication planning to the President of the Med Ed division of Publicis Healthcare. Steps along the way included working with pharma manufacturers at a global level, and then supporting local markets in commercial development. “The nexus of science and commerce.” 11:25 Leo's current consulting engagements. Creating solutions to communicate and deliver value. Some of it is about expertise that Leo brings, or ways that he can aggregate expertise to solve a problem. More about solving problems and less about the discipline of a certain channel. 13:00 How has Leo's task altered given the changes in the US healthcare landscape? Consolidation in the marketplace means that the nature of the customers and the stakeholders that pharma needs to work with are changing. There has always been a myopic focus on the prescriber, but now it's about who are the aggregate group of stakeholders that we need to build relationships with and help deliver the best healthcare outcomes at the best price. 15:00 Collaboration is a tough thing to do even if though there's a common view, about the patient at the core. “We're here to serve the patient.” But all stakeholders come at this from a different direction and these different approaches can lead to challenges. Need to be authentic and share values and be able to clearly identify these commonalities. 16:35 Don't forget shareholders are patients. Pharma is also in the service business. The question to ask is “who do you serve” and if, for example, you think of the pharma brand as the centerpiece of a solution to deliver better patient health, this creates a commonality which stakeholders can align around. 18:00 The changing role of the pharma sales representatives. Some companies are further ahead of others. It is a dangerous place to go if regulation forces greater separation of pharma and prescribers. It's not constructive to disentangle stakeholders who have an important relationship. We need to be transparent about the nature of the relationship, but having a relationship is fundamental to getting the best results. 19:40 Examples of when barriers to collaboration— regulation, limited authenticity— have limited collaboration. This can happen on the clinical development side or on the communication side. Institutions preclude their members from working with pharma— ultimately this will have a negative impact on the ultimate quality of health that can be delivered. We all need to challenge ourselves to figure out to make these relationships the best they can be. And transparency will be a big part of this. 22:00 Compromise could be construed as each party as giving something up to get to a better outcomes. Clearly defining what those objectives are, and being committed to those objectives means that you will freely do what it takes to get there. Also need to look at interactions longitudinally … if look at interactions as one & done, then there will be less understanding of the potential for the relationship and therefore less willingness to compromise in the short term for long term gains. 24:00 Ian Altman and Gary Vaynerchuk both have said in many different ways, “You have to give to get.” You have to stay true to your objective. This then defines decisions you're going to make. You don't then look at this as compromise because you're committed to the objective. And if questions continue to arise, then we need to ask ourselves if we're really committed to that objective. Are you authentic… are you talking about this commitment, or are you really committed? 25:00 Big network agencies these days are divided into smaller business units who are incentivized on their individual performance.  Why don't these individual units work together to best serve the customers? But it would take courageous leadership to make these changes. “Staying the course is a continuous, every day, consideration.” 28:00 The segmentation between disciplines … advertising and med ed. More now than ever, these lines are becoming ambiguous. So need to be focused on solutions as opposed to selling the client a new initiative. But thinking at its core about what problem our clients have and trying to solve them. This means organizational and asset agility. It means being able to pull our resources together in order to quickly solve a problem for a client. So instead of having 10 people working on a piece of business for the next year and more about what disciplines are needed and organize them. Clients are willing to pay for solutions. Solutions have value. 30:50 The burning challenges, on commercial side of smaller pharma trying to have deeper interactions with healthcare providers and thought leaders. This is hard because of regulations, not just the Sunshine Act. But the very people that they need to help them, they can't reach. It's almost a false separation, because if thinking about a product, still trying to access the information whether through commercial lens or medical lens. But seems like over administration for what should be a pretty simple interaction. 32:00 Talking about GSK not paying physicians any longer. We need to find the way, even within this regulated environment, to enable legitimate, meaningful, appropriate interaction. Because of a few unfortunate incidents that were inappropriate, the regulation has probably gone a step too far. The normal pendulum will likely bring the regulation back to an appropriate place. But key question: should healthcare professionals be paid for their interactions with pharma? Perhaps that is not the right question. The right question might be, “what is the cost of not having physicians involved in these interactions?”  The price is far greater in terms of how you ultimately help the patient. 34:00 Leo stays on top of industry trends by being invited to participate in thought leadership forums and also having a close proximity with clients and healthcare professionals in order to understand their emerging challenges and needs. Ultimately, our jobs, when people talk about behavior change, is creating the competence and confidence in the audiences we engage with in order to create action. 37:00 As market continues to evolve, as regulations change, as dynamics internally and externally change … as agencies our focus needs to be about creating value. Not adding value. Creating it. “The competitive advantage for an agency will reside in it's ability to create clinical value.” How you unlock the power of evidence to create and deliver value for both patients and for our clients. 38:00 Insights are needed to understand what is of value. 40:00 Leo talks about the future, creating value and orchestrating skill-sets and assets.   LEO P FRANCIS, PHD – President, LPF Solutions Leo Francis is an award-winning communications professional with a unique mix of commercial and scientific expertise and a proven record of success.  He is a skilled communicator and visionary who is also operationally robust in translating scientific ideas into organizational value.
