Artificial intelligence is ushering a new era of healthcare tools. These range from ambient listening to streamlined practice management. But, the AI-supported that I believe will truly transform occupational therapy is: Clinical Decision Support. To be honest, it often feels like we have more clinical decision barriers than we have support. Our EMRs currently give us a set number of checkboxes, which massively pigeonhole our services, and often DO NOT reflect the kinds of best practice we teach here at OT Potential. But, on the near horizon is dynamic point-of-service support that will help you choose the right assessments, set the right goals, and pursue the right treatment path for the patient in front of you. Oh, and it will also be watching for red flags. This is a lot to wrap our minds around. But, if we do it well, I think we will future proof our profession for changes to payment models and regulations, because it will so drastically increase our value. In this course, we'll review a new journal that outlines clinical decision support across 6 domains. Then, to walk us through what's here now and what's coming soon, I'm so thankful to welcome Brad Willingham, PhD, a clinical research scientist at Shepherd Center who has been focused on how AI is going to support clinical decision support.

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and some real REAL talk this week. But first: Taylor interrupts Pam's nighttime routine with a late night drop of The Tortured Poets Department. Does it live up to the hype? Did Andrew just confess to murdering former members of the pod? A not-so-fun update in the name of resiliency: Laura shares that she has multiple sclerosis (MS), what her journey to diagnosis looked like, and how she's doing now. What it's like to move through the stages of grief and eventually reach a space of processing through humor. We cover questions from our Patrons to go a little more in depth on Laura's experiences living with a chronic illness. Most important of all, we talk about the representation of MS in The West Wing, Laura's favorite show. As we continue on this journey we call life, we'll face different hurdles that challenge our mental health. How are we all doing? The panel shares what outlets help us get a mental break from the tough shit, and what resources we use to work through it. Journaling, limiting distractions, mid-day walks, crossword puzzles are all things we here at the show use to break up our days and limit stress and anxiety. Pam shares the 4-7-8 Breathing Method as well as the 5-4-3-2-1 Coping Technique This week's recommendations are good for the soul: donate to the Shepherd Center for World MS Day (Laura), Brick to help limit screentime (Andrew), and attending the yearly Record Store Day (Pam).

Health equity represents the pursuit of the highest level of well-being for all individuals, ensuring that every person, regardless of their background, enjoys a fair and just opportunity to achieve their optimal health. Disparities exist within the multiple sclerosis community. It's a stark reality that Black individuals with MS face an increased risk of disability, while Black women are disproportionately affected by this condition compared to their White counterparts based on a Kaiser study.  Additionally, Hispanic patients often contend with an earlier onset of MS, occurring 3-5 years before it typically manifests in White individuals. Both social determinants of health and genetic factors play significant roles in shaping outcomes for these communities. Strategies to enhance MS care in underserved communities include increasing the availability of healthcare providers, providing crucial translation services, and addressing biases both within the healthcare team and the communities they serve. Rural MS patients experience unique challenges, often encountering barriers in accessing specialized care.  Connecting lower-income patients to vital resources, including medications and MRI scans, is essential. Innovative approaches like telehealth and improved transportation options can bridge the gap for those with higher levels of disability. As an MS community, we can all advocate to ensure that everyone regardless of their circumstances receives the comprehensive care that they deserve. Barrry Singer MD, Director of The MS Center for Innovations in Care, interviews: Lilyana Amezcua MD, Associate Professor of Neurology, University of Southern California. She spearheaded the collaborative research consortium Alliance for Research in Hispanic MS (ARHMS) and serves as principal investigator.

Debbie Backus is with the Shepherd Center, a rehabilitation hospital located in Atlanta, and is also the president of ACRM, a multidisciplinary organization whose mission is to help improve the lives of people with disabilities, particularly brain and spinal cord injuries. In this episode, she discusses the current technologies used to help patients with movement disabilities, how far the technologies have come, the cost-effectiveness of such technologies, and how those technologies may continue to grow in the future. Top three takeaways: Organizations such as the Shepherd Center and ACRM serve to help and rehabilitate patients who have suffered injuries resulting in movement disabilities, and research technologies and novel interventions to restore mobility in these patients. Technologies such as FES and exoskeletons that are used by patients with movement disabilities are in their early stages, and are expensive to manufacture. If medical technologies can be shown to present a benefit to patients and their well-being, they may be further developed to improve cost-effectiveness, functionality, and ease of use.   [0:00] Ladan introduces the episode and IFESS, the sponsor [0:28] Debbie Backus is introduced [0:44] Debbie talks about the mission of the Shepherd Center, and about the types of patients that the organization cares for [1:36] Debbie discusses ACRM, the services it offers, and how the organization started [2:52] Debbie talks about the technology involved in rehab medicine, and how it has grown over the years [4:11] Debbie talks about the way technology solves problems, and how when designing technologies to solve clinical problems, the problems are not always solved in the best way initially.

She discusses her own research into the effectiveness of FES cycles, and how certain components may be too expensive for patients to afford. [5:22] Debbie discusses how if it can be shown how such technology presents a clear benefit to patients, then perhaps more cost-effective options can be developed. [6:11] Exoskeletons designed for patient mobility are discussed, and they are likened to old-fashioned computers which would take up a whole room. It is discussed how as the technology improves, it will become more practical and economically feasible. [7:28] Debbie discusses FES bikes, and how once a patient is evaluated and is deemed fit to ride one, they should be able to go to a gym and use one [7:49] Real bikes are discussed for these patients, rather than stationary ones [9:38] Debbie discusses her impression with ACRM being involved with rehab week for the first time

Our next guest is Molly Welch. Thirteen years ago, she was in a head-on collision with a pick-up truck that caused a traumatic brain injury due to her distracted driving. Molly was in a coma for three weeks and had a 50-50 chance of living. Later, she was only minimally conscious for months. Next she had to re-learn everything from walking to talking. The doctors thought she'd be in an immobile state the rest of her life. In fact, one doctor told her parents that she may not wake up, but if she did, “the sky would be the limit.” It sure is. On episode 360 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Molly chose Auburn University, what drew her into journalism and writing for the school newspaper, what happened that day when she looked down to hit record on her hand-held recorder while driving her car, what was her recovery like in terms of physical, occupational and speech therapy at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, what was the impact on completing her degree at Auburn, how the students listening can stop distracted driving themselves, what kind of reaction she gets from students and participants who hear this program on distracted driving, whether this program is good fit for corporate sponsorships as well, and what's next for Molly's career. Enjoy!

Guest Quotes: 10:48”  “I think one of the biggest kind of standard things that needs to be in a simulation that a lot of us don't quite understand until we go through some of that training is the debrief….Debrief is meant to get the students reflecting on their performance, being open and honest, and sharing what they did, how they would do it differently, how their actions affected others.” 18:58” “It's one of the tenants I think that simulation stands on… is you create that safe space to fail. And it's so important, especially, anytime we're talking about patient care, but especially when we're talking about in acute care, ICU care, there's not a lot of room for error.” 26:29” “simulation is not a new novel idea in healthcare education by any means.  Our colleagues in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, have been doing this for decades.” Rapid Responses: Do you tell dad jokes yes or no? “A hundred percent yes. And in class as well” You know, you work in acute care when… “You have a pair of scrubs and shoes as a backup.” Links: https://www.ssih.org/ https://www.inacsl.org/ https://acapt.org/about/consortium/simulation-in-physical-therapy-education-consortium For questions about 2024 APTA Acute Care Nominations, please email: acute@aptaacutecare.org   Connect with our hosts and the podcast!

S3 Trauma Healing Learning 25: Wholehearted Patient Care with Trauma Nurse Rebecca McWalters Think about all the connotations of the word “care.” In a clinical context, it can refer to providers who give patients sustenance and medical attention for their survival and well being. Now, pair that definition with the more colloquial meaning of “care” – heartfelt devotion and love – and you have a truly incredible combination where a caregiver's work is responsive to the patient as a whole human.  There are so many emotional and medical factors at play for both patients and families in SCI rehab.  Wholehearted care can make all the difference in trauma healing.  Join Louise and Trauma Nurse Rebecca McWalters as we hear why nurses should slow down and how Mom's know best and what it takes to cultivate that combination of care as we get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the workings of an SCI care team at a premiere rehabilitation facility. Here we go. In this episode: Rebecca McWalters is the Director of Nursing with Baron Home Group in Atlanta, Georgia.

S3 Ep25: Listen to the Patient Self-Advocacy and the Caring Ethic in SCI Rehab   Even though a Spinal Cord Injured person's brain does not receive signals from lower parts of the body, that doesn't mean their body doesn't experience pleasure, pain or discomfort. And in late October, 2015, Archer knew. He knew his body well enough to speak up just in time about an internal sensation he thought he experienced. Thankfully someone was listening. Join us for a surprising turn in our journey, as we narrowly dodge a particularly ghoulish Halloween event but end up confronting something even more shocking. This could be the reminder you need to remember to listen – to your own needs, or to someone near you who needs to be heard right now, and how to paint the picture of the patient so the medical team can see who they really are.

  Season 3: Episode 17: Choices in the Unknown   Have you ever had to make a Sophie's Choice? What feelings intrinsically come along with being forced to choose one essential life necessity over another? Louise delves deep into the experience through personal journal notes and the teachings of grief in the face of impossible choices. She shares shocking information about what it takes to wean off a ventilator. And she poses a provocative challenge to the physical rehab teams. You will also hear from Margaret Apple, a mom at the Shepherd Center at the same time Louise and Archer were there, and her recollections of her time of great uncertainty about the future of her son. Join Louise as she explores the moments that allowed her to step back and see the broader picture and gain new insights into what is possible.   In this episode, you'll hear interview excerpts from:   Margaret Apple, a mother of a son who had suffered a traumatic brain injury around the same time as Archer's injury who was also a patient at the Shepherd Center. Her happenstance connection to Louise allowed both to open space to the grieving process and to be vulnerable about their doubts and uncertainties.   Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

Your Blink of an Eye Family is here to lend you a hand too.

  Welcome to Episode 12… and welcome home.

Most importantly, hear what Louise was unable to share at the time, including texts, work and family stress, anxieties about going home and more. In this episode, Blink of an Eye reaches new heights of truth and authenticity with Louise's “Personal Journal Notes.” These are entries written in real time by Archer's beside, usually in the soft, nighttime glow of hospital monitors, which Louise never included in the Archer Blogs for reasons you will hear about. You'll hear some surprises as well as ways that you might create a homecoming for your friends in crisis.     In this episode, you'll hear interview excerpts from:   Ellen Webb, a long-time neighbor, friend and “sister,” as Louise describes in this first part of Episode 12.

Orange juice, sweet, sweet Simply Orange, finally. But just one drop. Archer passed his swallow test and for the first time in over a month, he could savor flavors he loved. Join Louise in this episode of Blink of an Eye as she celebrates and looks back at the first big milestone of Archer's time at the Shepherd Center: his swallow test and the glorious moments after, and, what surprising experiences food might mean to all of us. Hear about the continued generosity of friends, including a room of her own, as well as how food became a barometer for Archer's mental and physical state in this episode. In this episode, you'll hear interview excerpts from: Chris Killebrew, a friend of Louise's from UVA college days and resident of Atlanta, who offered his empty condominium to Louise as a place of respite and home base. He and Louise talk about how the offering of the condo came to be through their late mutual friend Nick Costas and what it meant for Louise in the trauma and turmoil to have a quiet oasis. Dewey Senft, one of Louise's sons and Archer's older brother by two years, who visited Archer just as he was beginning to swallow again. Louise and Dewey talk about what it took to get Archer to eat and the ways his interest and appetite served as a barometer for how he was doing during their time at Shepherd and the strength of will it takes for quadriplegics, and those compromised by pulmonary breathing issues, to want to live.  Our theme music is by Victoria Vox.  Music in this episode is: Placid Ambient by MusicLFiles Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/6189-placid-ambient License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Emotional Piano Improvisation by Alexander Nakarada Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/6199-emotional-piano-improvisation License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Peppers Theme by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4998-peppers-theme License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Calm Reflective Piano by MusicLFiles Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/8022-calm-reflective-piano License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Blink of an Eye Podcast is sponsored by I C THAT — The Integrative Center for Trauma Healing, Advocacy and Transformation: a non-profit created as a national resource to help change the way we respond to Spinal Cord Injury to include trauma healing approaches for families and medical teams across the U.S.  I C THAT provides a national team of SCI specialized doctors for expert opinions in the first hours of crisis, a Multidisciplinary Family Support & Navigation Team for SCI families lead by SCI families for the first 30 days of crisis, and a National Resource Library of trauma informed responses for the first hours and days after injury specialized for families, friends and SCI medical staff.
