Real-World Evidence: The Future of Data Generation and UsageApril Bright
As data is captured through electronic health records, registries and unique device identifiers, the generation of evidence based on this data is expected to play a crucial role in informing orthopedic manufacturers’ decisions before and after regulatory approval. While regulators, payors, hospitals and manufacturers support this shift, they acknowledge that gaps remain in its optimal execution. Priority considerations include how to generate evidence to expedite regulatory market decisions, device indication expansion, postmarket studies, postmarket surveillance and reimbursement decisions.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

treatment plans.
In integrated care, BH and primary
care providers work together in a
team and use on treatment plan.

Ratio of Behavioral Health Providers to Patients – 1: 2,842
20. • Train your current staff
• Recruitment
• Build relationships with
training institutions
• Train health profession
students
• Postgraduate residency and
fellowship training
Practice in the very busy and demanding setting of
an FQHC calls for explicit training in the expectations,
communications, workflow, and mutual support that
underlies a highly effective team.

22. BH Workflow
Behavioral Screening in Medical
There are many pathways to Behavioral Health care, one of the most
robust and reliable is regular screening in medical visits.
Nurses and MA’s can screen for multiple conditions including
• Substance abuse (DAST, AUDIT, SBIRT)
• Depression (PHQ-2/9)
• Domestic Violence (HITS, HARK)
• Patient Symptom Checklist-17
• MCHAT
• and others that you may determine
All of these identify patients who may be in need of support from
Behavioral Health

Warm Hand Offs (WHOs):
Proactive and Reactive
Medical initiated warm hand-off and behavioral health
initiated warm hand-off
• Reactive: Initiated by medical provider
• Proactive: Initiated by BH provider based on EHR
• BH diagnosis and no BH visits
• Clinically significant screening tool
• Specific medical diagnosis
• High risk patient (identify criteria)
24. Behavioral Health Dashboard: Reactive WHOs
Warm Hand Offs or WHO’s exemplify BH and medical integration better than anything else.
• Medical providers have instant access to BH providers to see cases with BH needs
• BH providers know which medical patients are likely in need of BH services through the
BH dashboard
25. Warm Hand Off Assessment
• Designed as short 30 minute assessment
• Immediate issues: safety, IPV, SI/HI, SUD
• Current BH care providers
• Appropriateness for/interest in Outpatient LOC
• Appropriateness for/Interest in Integrated BH
• Provisional Care Plan: refer back to medical,
refer to CHC BH, refer out to community
provider
26. BH Workflow: Initial Assessment
• Psychosocial Assessment
• Diagnostic evaluation
• Treatment Plan
• Disposition:
– Appropriate for care: individual, family, group
– Refer for psychiatric consult
– Refer to higher level of care
27. BH Workflow: Ongoing Treatment
• Sessions occur per care plan and are
documented in notes
• Consults with medical are recorded as TEs
• Care plan reviews documented as
required by state regulations, Joint
Commission standards, insurance
requirements
28. Group therapy offers additional services to patients who may have common
needs. While those common needs can be things like depression or trauma,
often identified in behavioral health care, but they might also be problems
commonly identified in medical visits.
• Smoking cessation
• Chronic pain
• Suboxone groups as a part of integrated Medication Assisted
Treatment
• Mood Disorders
• Trauma
BH Workflow: Group Therapy
All of these and more can create referrals for in
house services and serve to better integrated care
between medical and behavioral health.
29. Integrated Care Meetings
• A case review meeting conducted at each site facilitated by a BHCC
– Patients are selected from a risk stratified list and have chronic disease as
well as a BH condition.
• Goal of the meeting is to close care gaps and to reduce preventable ER
utilization
• Participants include the PCP, MA, RN, BH Clinician, and ATC
• Seven to ten cases are discussed per session
• Cases are presented by team members who have reviewed the record
respective to their role
• Documentation in the health record is completed. (Global Alert)
– Recommendations for follow up is noted in
TE’s or Action items.
30. Discharge from BH Care
• When care plan goals met: medical handback
• When higher level of care/specialty service needed
• When patient no longer attends sessions
– Recall system
– Outreach as required by state licensure
– Closing of BH case while leaving medical open
• Notification of PCP
• Transfer of meds to PCP or outside psychiatric provider
• Completion of discharge paperwork
• Patient may return to care within one year with same BH provider;
greater than one year requires new intake
31. Integration Occurs at Every Level
• Shared electronic health record: one
problem list, one medication list, full
access across disciplines to all notes and
documents
• IM and informal conversations in pods
• Flows bi-directionally
• Integrated care meetings

Editor's Notes
Amanda-
The NCA has produced a variety of resources on TBC, you may have joined those webinars
You may have felt that often times a group is lost in the medical aspects of TBC
Seems we never question a vacancy with the same urgency for BH as PCP/MA/RNs– (waitlists)
How do we get to where we want to go?
Express that we know that they may have joined previously and that we anticipate that they know this information
This is refresh and we encourage everyone to view our previous webinars
Changed the number to over 200 on the slide. Le

Role of BH services
Key elements
Understand structured approaches to screening, warm hand offs, robust group of treatment programs
Multiple choice with third option being write in
NOTE- Tim will spark conversation with Veena on these comments
NOTE--- think broadly about staffing! ***
What I wanted to add also was – of this 5.39 (Note: 4.76% of the total FTE workforce is mental health) of the total work force represented by BH what percentage across the country belongs to each discipline?
Ideally I would want to be able to say .34 Of the total workforce in FQHCs in psychiatrists, which totals 753.74 providers. And so forth for each discipline. Then also be able to say of the total 8,144 number (3.64%) of BH providers across all disciplines this many (and what is the % a well) are psychiatrists, etc.
NOTE: Think broadly about BH staffing

1 CHW that started in December, but started engaging with patients in January. We are following the Penn Center for CHWs model, IMPaCT. We currently have 17 patients enrolled.

How does a pt get to BH?
We define the core team as PCP, MA, RN, BH, etc.
Present our model step by step throughout the course of BH care
Regardless of what your are building and where you are on your pathway there, we believe these ideas will be helpful
First question: Who is your targeted BH population? We have answered full age range of medical patients appropriate for outpatient level of care
Note on the bullets--- all being WHOs
Notes- How is the corresponding BH provider WHO scheduling look like?
Is this the right place?

Lots of ways to get to the goal of seamless integrated care in patient centered model
When all disciplines across the integrated care team see the patient as a shared patient and all disciplines contribute to care everyone wins.
