In this episode of the Friends for Life Podcast, Tony Stuart dives into the modern challenges faced by professionals working in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs). One of the biggest hurdles is the severe shortage of qualified personnel, particularly direct support professionals (DSPs), who provide essential care and support. The conversation sheds light on how high turnover rates, low wages, and burnout are affecting the quality of care and limiting access to vital services for individuals with IDDs. Tony also highlights the gaps in training that leave many DSPs underprepared to meet the complex needs of those with IDDs. From medical care to behavioral support, there is a growing need for specialized training that is often inaccessible due to funding and geographic limitations. The episode also tackles the healthcare disparities individuals with IDDs face, and how miscommunication and a lack of specialized services can lead to ineffective or even harmful care. Finally, the discussion explores the impact of societal stigma and the ongoing challenges of integrating individuals with IDDs into communities, education, and employment. Tony emphasizes the need for continued advocacy, better funding, and increased awareness to ensure that those with IDDs are given the opportunities and dignity they deserve. Tune in to learn more about the systemic issues facing the IDD field and how professionals are working to overcome these barriers.

Just in time for the holidays, more Minnesotans are getting sick with respiratory illnesses like COVID and RSV. According to recent information from the state health department, hospital beds — especially for kids — are in short supply. A recent study by APM Research Lab found there are almost 1,000 fewer Minnesota hospital beds in 2023 than in 2020. Dr. Rahul Koranne, president of the Minnesota Hospital Association, says the problem isn't a shortage of beds themselves. “We have the beds, we have the walls, we have the physical infrastructure, but a bed doesn't treat the patient,” Koranne said. Staffing shortages are still a major problem. According to Koranne, some Minnesota hospitals have an up to 17 percent job vacancy rate, and applicants and retention numbers are also down. At the same time, lower capacity in group homes, mental health institutions and nursing homes means hundreds of hospital patients needing such care have nowhere to be discharged. “And in some cases, patients are stuck and boarding and living in a hospital for months on end, which prevents other patients from getting into the hospital,” Koranne said. “It's a crisis.” Emergency rooms are facing a similar problem, backing up a system that's hemorrhaging money, he said. There is growing fear that an overloaded health system means Minnesotans won't get help if they show up to the hospital. “I'll be frank: patient care in Minnesota is in danger,” Koranne said. Koranne told MPR News the most immediate solution would be help from lawmakers as soon as the legislature reconvenes in February. He wants them to put a rescue package at the top of the docket. “Given the almost $1 billion that we have lost already this year in 2023, we need state lawmakers to prioritize hospitals and healthcare systems across the state, provide a rescue package so that we have the money that we need to continue to provide access, to continue to look for workers, to continue to make health care a lucrative industry for our youngsters to join,” Koranne said. “That's what we need so that we can provide access not just today, but for generations to come for Minnesotans.” Koranne encouraged Minnesotans to stay current on their vaccinations, wash their hands, avoid contact with sick people and cover coughs. Also, he said to wear your seat belt and don't get behind the wheel while distracted or impaired. “The other main point is, please seek the right care at the right time. Please go to your regular provider instead of going to the local emergency department. Please take the COVID test, get the vaccinations and the state department of health has amazing resources on its website. Check them out.”

The agency in charge of protecting thousands of federal facilities across the country is still facing steep staff shortages amid a rise in threats against government employees and buildings. But the Federal Protective Service hopes retention incentives will help keep employees around long enough to bring in new recruits and respond to an uptick in activity ahead of next year's presidential election. Kris Cline, director of the FPS, said his agency continues to face recruiting and retention challenges, with approximately 25% of FPS positions currently vacant. Learn more about your ad choices.
