Financial uncertainty continues to be the number one driver when it comes to the planning and design of healthcare projects. Last season, we focused on how to address uncertainty when a project is already underway. This season, we're looking at how organizations can tackle this issue before a project begins—through facility master plans, evaluating real estate, operational change and flexible design. To discuss, we're joined by Cindy Hecker, CEO of the University of Washington Medical Center and NBBJ's Joan Saba. We'll talk about the factors contributing to an unpredictable healthcare market, and how healthcare systems navigate financial uncertainty.

Finally, an issue bigger than the Israel/Hamas war: Taylor Swift. Gannett, the largest newspaper company in the United States, has assigned a reporter to cover Taylor Swift full time. 24/7, this reporter will be making sure you get all the Taylor Swift news you need. (And some you probably don't need.) The reporter in question covering the Swifts is award-winning journalist Bryan West. Considering they hired an accomplished scribe, everyone is happy, right? WRONG! Bryan is a boy's name, and Bryan has an appendage women don't have, and that makes him UNQUALIFIED and BAD and WRONG. Or, at least, that's the opinion of the stupidest people on the planet.  The Idiots mock these morons, and then move on to… Taylor Swift story number two: speaking of the male appendage, both Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiec have very, very small ones between their legs. Like, microscopic.  Their insecurities about their manhood lead them to believe they need to control women, and thus they lash out at a powerhouse like Taylor Swift and her Swifies when they—gasp, clutch pearls—dare to vote! And they don't just vote, they vote for women's rights, and not a form or Christian Taliban that would have them subjugated and controlled.  Well, if you're an insecure loser (like Jack Posobiec and Charlie Kirk), this is going to upset you.  Next up: a very brief mention of Pakistan, and insurgent rumblings in that country. Following that, Israel and Hamas are still at it, so Jake and nathan do their best to break that down. Then: the best thing a person can do is to live, and not learn.  For example, Central Park Karen Amy Cooper. She's had three years to come to terms with her behavior toward birdwatcher Christian Cooper, yet refuses to take any responsibility for her actions.  Likewise, Rashida Tlaib, who is a “victim” of her own words and doings. Tlaib became the 26th member of Congress to ever be censured, and instead of apologizing for her words (Tweets), she cried. Because that's what victims do: they make it all about what's happening to them, not what they have done.  Finally, George Piano had appendicitis, and needed surgery.  Instead of removing his appendix, however, surgeons who apparently had no clue what they were doing opened him up and started cutting all willy-nilly.  Jake and nathan discuss frivolous lawsuits, but the one he's going to file (and hopefully win) against the University of Washington Medical Center ain't one of these.  Give Mr. Piano all the money.  He deserves it. Hear his story here. Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don't have to. Tune in and get your giggle on. Find Jake at @jakevevera Find nathan at nathantimmel.com

Dr. Eric Larson is a leading expert on aging and dementia and one of the creators of a massive living lab studying the brains of 5000 Seattle residents as they age over decades. The research is called the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) Study. Dr. Larson is optimistic when it comes to preventing the devastating disease, but not because miracle medicines might be on the horizon. Instead, he believes Alzheimer's and other types of dementia are directly impacted by the lifestyle choices individuals make. He's finding people are increasingly paying attention to those lifestyle issues and doing the right thing for their health. In fact, as an example, he says, the closest thing to a magic pill for reducing the risk of dementia is probably exercise.  But that is just one of the 12 modifiable risk factors to prevent the disease. Larson speaks to the dozen modifiable risk factors that were presented in a 2020 report of the Lancet Commission and they include:  less education, hypertension, hearing impairment (between the ages 45-65 hearing loss is the biggest modifiable risk factor), smoking, obesity, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes (type 2 leads to a two-fold increased risk of developing AD), low social contact, excessive alcohol consumption, traumatic brain injury, and air pollution. “There is no inevitability about this condition,” he says of the loss of cognitive functioning. “I was reading the numbers. There's a 1/3 drop from 2000 to 2016 in the rates of dementia in North America and Europe. We have reached a point where people are better educated, socio and economic indicators have improved. We're not doing the same stuff our parents were doing as far as health. We realize we need to exercise, and not smoke, and not drink a bunch of alcohol.” On the other hand, Dr. Larson worries that dementia is increasing in less-advanced, industrializing societies that adopt some of the unhealthier aspects of the Western lifestyle.  Some of the choices that people can make to diminish the risk of Alzheimer's, besides engaging in physical exercise, are controlling weight and blood pressure; treating or protecting against diabetes; quitting smoking; moderating alcohol consumption; and addressing hearing loss and perhaps even vision impairment.  "A lot of the things that reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease are the things that improve health and well-being in older people,” points out Dr. Larson, who recently retired. But individuals should not wait until they approach old age to adapt to a healthy lifestyle. The earlier they begin, the more likely they are to diminish the chances of losing cognitive function. ***** Dr. Eric B. Larson was executive director of Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute (KPWHRI) and vice president for research and healthcare innovation at Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington. A general internist, he was a professor of medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle. He recently retired from full-time work, but continues to be active in the field of geriatrics and works part time at the University of Washington's Department of Medicine as a professor of medicine. Dr. Larson began at the University of Washington as a fellow in 1975 after graduating from Harvard Medical School. He served as medical director at the University of Washington Medical Center and was associate dean for clinical affairs from 1989 until 2002.  Dr. Larson joined Group Health (now Kaiser Permanente) in 2002 to lead the Center for Health Studies. His research on aging includes a longstanding collaboration between Kaiser Permanente Washington and the University of Washington called the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) Study. With colleagues from University of Washington and Group Health, he received a demonstration grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish a model Alzheimer's disease registry in 1986.  This morphed into the landmark Adult Changes in Thought study with the establishment of the initial cohort of 2581 randomly selected volunteers who joined the study 1994-96. The cohort has doubled since then and is one of the longest continuous studies on aging and dementia in the world. ***** Cutting Edge Health podcast website: https://cuttingedgehealth.com/ Cutting Edge Health Social and YouTube: YouTube channel: youtube.com/@cuttingedgehealthpodcast Instagram - https://instagram.com/cuttingedgehealthpodcast Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Cutting-Edge-Health-Podcast-with-Jane-Rogers-101036902255756 Please note that the information provided in this show is not medical advice, nor should it be taken or applied as a replacement for medical advice.

Pearls and Quotes - Management of Cardiorenal Syndrome in the CICU Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) represents a range of clinical entities in which there is both heart and kidney dysfunction, and can be driven by one, or both, of the organs. CRS is caused by reduced renal perfusion, elevated renal congestion, or a combination of the two. Treatment therefore focuses on increasing perfusion, by optimizing cardiac output and mean arterial pressure, and reducing congestion through diuresis. Patients should be monitored for an adequate response to the initial diuretic dose within 2 hours of administration. If the response is inadequate, the loop diuretic dose should be doubled. Diuretic resistance can be managed via sequential nephron blockade, most commonly with thiazide diuretics, but also with amiloride, high-dose spironolactone, or acetazolamide, as these target different regions of the nephron. In cases of refractory diuretic resistance, hypertonic saline can be considered with the help of an experienced clinician. Continuation or cessation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors in the setting of CRS should be made on a case-by-case basis. Show notes - Management of Cardiorenal Syndrome in the CICU 1. Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a collection of signs/symptoms that indicate injury to both the heart and kidneys. Organ dysfunction in one can drive dysfunction in the other. Cardiorenal syndrome can be categorized as: Type 1 - Acute heart failure causing acute kidney injury Type 2 - Chronic heart failure causing chronic kidney injury Type 3 - Acute kidney injury causing acute heart failure Type 4 - Chronic kidney injury causing chronic heart failure Type 5 - Co-development of heart and kidney injury by another systemic process. These categories can be helpful for education, discussion, and research purposes, but they do not usually enter clinical practice on a regular basis since different categories of cardiorenal syndrome are not necessarily treated differently. 2. CRS is caused by either reduced renal perfusion, elevated renal congestion, or a combination of the two. When dealing with CRS, note that: CRS can be caused by poor kidney perfusion,

Dr. Patak has worked in the healthcare industry for over 30 years and is currently a Pediatric Anesthesiologist at University of Washington Medical Center and Seattle Children's Hospital. He spent his early years working as a nursing assistant at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and UCLA Medical Center, which is where he researched communication problems with mechanically ventilated patients and helped bring to market the Vidatak EZ Board, an evidence-based communication tool for intubated and non-verbal patients. He then went on to become a nurse where he spent another 8 years working at UCLA Medical Center while completing his medical degree at The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Concurrent to his medical degree, he also earned a Master's in Business Administration at the Marshall School of Business at USC. When the EZ Boards began being used as a point-of-care translation tool for patients who could speak, but had limited English proficiency, he combined his understanding of this need and developed VidaTalk. This effort was funded by the NIH with a 5-year longitudinal research study conducted at the Ohio State University School of Nursing ensuring VidaTalk would be an effective solution for critically ill patients. The EZ Board and VidaTalk are now used globally, driving equitable care for patients with speech and language barriers across the world.Link to claim CME credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3DXCFW3CME credit is available for up to 3 years after the stated release dateContact CEOD@bmhcc.org if you have any questions about claiming credit.

Could it be that despite your fear, embracing the crazy or cracked parts of yourself might be immensely beneficial to your leadership? Let's face it; we've all been through our battles. Some are more severe than others. Consider this; the pain you are experiencing is not designed to break you but rather to break you open. What if you opened up and allowed yourself to fully experience that cracking, knowing that it is through those cracks the light could penetrate and illuminate what you may have hidden from yourself? Our guest for the next two episodes certainly understands that. Susan Clarke and her partner CrisMarie Campbell are the co-founders of Thrive Inc. They've spent 20 years helping men, women, couples, and teams to resolve difficult conflicts and create solid and thriving relationships. Susan Clarke and her partner co-host a podcast, The Beauty of Conflict, and have given presentations on conflict resolution, communication, teamwork, and creative problem-solving at Fortune 100 companies like Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, AT&T, and Nationwide, and at the Gates Foundation, University of Washington Medical Center, San Francisco Giants, and many others. Yet, at 24, Susan's entrepreneurial path became a quest to find a solution to a terminal cancer diagnosis. What Susan discovered was Crazy, Cracked, Warm, and Deep, which is the name of her latest book; her memoir. This is a stirring history; however, it's also a primer on how to locate and remember the broken and separated parts in each of us, clearing the pain so the dark spots get the needed light to live forward.

Muscle endurance can be improved, in older adults, without physical exercise, according to the results of a new clinical trial.  Scientists in the US and Switzerland say their research suggests supplementation with a gut metabolite, known as urolithin A, may counteract age-associated muscle decline.  This is significant as a potential intervention that could slow the onset of frailty in older people, and prolong healthspan.   The study, sponsored by the Swiss life science company, Amazentis  (also sponsors of this podcast), was conduced at the University of Washington Medical Center and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.  It was designed to test the hypothesis that long-term supplementation with Mitopure, a highly pure, synthetic form of urolithin A, would improve mitochondrial function and muscle performance in older adults.   In this LLAMA podcast interview, the study's principal investigator, Prof. David Marcinek, explains the findings and why he believes they could be especially beneficial for older people who are unable to exercise.  We also delve into the importance of mitochondrial health and why the so-called powerhouses of our cells play such a pivotal role in our ability to thrive and enjoy a long life. Interview recorded: January 12, 2022 | Read a transcript and show notes at the LLAMA website.This episode is brought to you in association with Amazentis.

Here's How Biden's Infrastructure Bill Addresses Science President Joe Biden signed a massive bipartisan infrastructure bill into law this Monday. The measure focuses on a range of sectors. It would funnel billions into cleaning up pollution in the air and water with efforts that include eliminating lead service lines and cleaning up old, polluted manufacturing sites. The bill will also invest $7.5 billion to create a large-scale network of electric vehicle chargers across the country. In other big news this week, a new study confirms that masks are highly effective in combating COVID-19, reducing incidence of the disease by as much as 53% on its own. Researchers say this finding is significant and add that when masks are used in addition to other protective measures, like vaccines and hand washing, people can feel confident in their safety. Joining guest host Roxanne Khamsi to talk through these and other big science stories of the week is Nsikan Akpan, health and science editor for WNYC Public Radio in New York City. Happy (Holiday) Testing Season! The holiday season has snuck up once again, leaving many people to figure out familiar logistics: If travel will be involved, who to see, and what will be for dinner. But of course, we're still in a pandemic, so questions of safety remain. At the end of the day, we want to keep our families, friends, and loved ones healthy. COVID-19 tests are becoming a popular tool, helping many people make social situations safer. Quickly swabbing your nose or spitting in a tube can indicate if someone has been infected with the coronavirus. But with so many options available, and a big season of holiday get-togethers up ahead, many are wondering what kind of test is best—and when is the best time to get tested? Joining guest host Roxanne Khamsi to talk through COVID-19 testing questions are Dr. Céline Gounder, epidemiologist and professor at New York University's Grossman School of Medicine in New York, and Dr. Alex Greninger, assistant director at the clinical virology laboratories at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle. The Big Bang Theory Of Cancer Despite tremendous scientific advances, there's still so much scientists don't understand about cancer. One of the biggest remaining questions is how do tumors form in the first place? Researchers are getting closer to an answer. For years, the prevailing theory of tumor growth was that cancer cells gradually acquire a series of mutations that enable them to outcompete healthy cells and run amok. But improved genetic sequencing of cancers is revealing a more complicated picture. New technology has enabled a new theory of tumor development, called the big bang theory. It turns out that some types of cancer contain a whole hodge-podge of mutations right from the very beginning, even before the tumors are detectable on a scan. Researchers initially observed this pattern in colon cancer, and then replicated the findings in pancreatic, liver, and stomach cancers, too. Guest host Roxanne Khamsi talks to Christina Curtis, associate professor of medicine and genetics at Stanford University's School of Medicine about her research into tumor development, and how to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Jenelle Badulak, an emergency physician and intensivist at the University of Washington Medical Center presents a lecture on ECMO indications and complications as part of the DC5 lecture series.

On today's episode I chat with https://pulmccsm.uw.edu/faculty/mark-r-tonelli-md-ma (Dr. Mark Tonelli, MD, MA )an Intensivist and Pulmonologist at the University of Washington Medical Center. He also is a member of their Ethics Consultation Service. I brought him on the show to discuss how he approaches ethical dilemmas in critical care medicine. The one thing that acts as a guiding light to the consultations is this desire to always want to do the right thing for the patient. This episode is super enlightening as well as very needed. Dr. Tonelli dives into this notion of just because we can do something as medical providers, doesn't mean we should. It gets really juicy, so please tune in! Thank you so much for being on the show, Mark. I am so appreciative and I know our listeners will be, too.
