This Living to 100 Club podcast introduces our listeners to an innovative home-based medical care program, WellBe Senior Medical. Our guest is Dr. Iyad Houshan. We discuss the benefits of at-home medical care with older adults who are faced with multiple and complex health challenges. Our listeners will learn about the “full risk” model of reimbursement, vs. the traditional fee-for-service model. We understand how this incentivizes WellBe to provide a comprehensive, holistic services program. We also learn how this comprehensive care model reduces the need for frequent acute hospital or skilled nursing re-admissions. It also avoids the problems with home health services that too often become fragmented and ineffective at avoiding re-admissions. This is another highly educational conversation for our listeners as we explore a breakthrough care model for the most-frail seniors in our communities.  Mini Bio Dr. Iyad Houshan is the Chief Medical Officer at WellBe Senior Medical. Prior to joining WellBe, he served as the Senior Medical Officer at Alignment Healthcare from January 2017 to June 2019. In this role, he was responsible for managing the clinical program at an innovative Medicare Advantage provider. This provider offers an integrated clinical model, proactive healthcare, advanced technologies, and alliances with major health care partners. Iyad also structured the home-based program designed for optimal revenue and clinical / hospice outcomes. Dr. Houshan has been recognized for his strong patient and family satisfaction skills, which he has used to set the stage for improvements in hospice metrics and drop in unnecessary resource utilization. Iyad Houshan began his educational career by obtaining a B.S. in Chemistry from UC San Diego. Iyad then went on to obtain an M.D. from Ross University School of Medicine. After completing his medical degree, he pursued a career in general education and obtained a position at San Diego Miramar College.

In part two of this three-part series, Stephanie Troy, MD, senior medical officer, Division of Antivirals, Office of Infectious Disease in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research's Office of New Drugs, FDA, discusses what to know about Paxlovid as treatment for COVID-19.

Following medical school, Dr. Donnelly Wilkes was commissioned in the U.S. Navy, completed residency training in family medicine at the Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, and served seven years on active duty. Wilkes served two combat tours in Iraq in 2004 and 2008 and was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor for his actions in the battle of Fallujah in April of 2004. He finished his Naval career as the Senior Medical Officer at Port Hueneme Naval Clinic, where he was responsible for the medical oversight of active duty members, their families, and local Veterans.  On the first day of his first tour, a firefight injured a Marine. Unfortunately, Wilkes and his team were unable to save him. Deeply saddened by this loss and their inability to treat him, they circled around the fallen soldier and prayed for him. A photographer captured the moment. The photo went on to become a Pulitzer Prize winning piece and a Life Magazine cover. To learn more about Dr. Wilkes' deployments, read his book, Code Red Fallujah.

Are you familiar with the concept of oxygen debt or oxygen deficit? What constitutes a “dose” of shock? What systolic BP constitutes hypotension on the battlefield? Where did the concept of permissive hypotension come from? Is it still valid? How long can fresh whole blood last? Blood Transfusions were a huge topic at this year's meeting in Charlotte with no less than 3 major speakers giving multiple talks on the subject. This talk was recorded during the Prolonged Field Care Pre-Conference Lab during the Special Operations Medicine and Scientific Assembly (SOMSA).

Our PFC working group has always gone to the THOR network with any blood questions that we have, as they usually have an answer or best practice already established. I have included a link to the THOR/RDCR.org publication page below along with other notable publications which he helped to author such as the recently published JTS ISR Clinical Practice Guideline on Damage Control Resuscitation and the Frequently Asked Questions we sent to Geir and the THOR network over the last couple years. www.prolongedfieldcare.org

In this HRchat interview, we consider President Trump's plans to remove funding for the World Health Organization, what it will take to get us to the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic and when we can hope to get back to work. Our guest is Dr. Adrian Hyzler, Chief Medical Officer at HX Global, the US division of Healix International, a leading provider of international medical, security and travel assistance services. The organization works with multi-national corporations, NGOs and governments around the world to provide medical, security and travel assistance and help to fulfill duty of care obligations.There are a few things that will eventually get us all to the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic. Across the globe, everyone is hoping for an effective treatment or vaccine. The possibility of a viable vaccine that can be licensed and mass-produced sadly remains a distant prospect. There is hope that ongoing trials and research into potential treatments may produce successful drug therapy within a few months. Nevertheless, there are non-pharmaceutical interventions that will have an impact on when we will emerge from “quarantine fog,” and what it will be like when we do.Listen as Dr. Hyzler shares his thoughts on three key imperatives: Social Distancing, Personal Protective Equipment, and Testing. Dr. Adrian Hyzler qualified as a doctor at Sheffield University Medical School. He pursued a career in Emergency Medicine which led to an interest in travel medicine. Dr. Hyzler worked as a doctor on cruise ships before working with the Aboriginal Medical Services in remote area medicine in Western Australia.

He moved on to become a medical coordinating officer, then Senior Medical Officer, and is now the Chief Medical Officer at Healix, with an additional responsibility as Director of Medical Communications. Dr. Hyzler uses his expansive knowledge of medicine as it applies to travel and aviation. He plays a critical role in the medical management of patients who fall sick or are injured overseas. He has extensive experience with international aeromedical patient transfers and an excellent understanding of foreign healthcare systems worldwide.
