Webinar: Too Old to Practice: Should There Be a Cut-Off Age for Physicians?Douglas Backstrom, MBA
http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20160525/WEBINAR/305249982/webinar-too-old-to-practice-should-there-be-a-cut-off-age-for
Aviation, the military and other high-risk industries have a retirement cut-off age to safeguard from mistakes that arise from age-related issues, like memory and vision loss. Some healthcare safety leaders think there should be a similar requirement for physicians. While the American Medical Association wants to set guidelines, the law discourages age discrimination and not everyone agrees it should be a disqualifying criterion.
By joining this one-hour webinar, you will learn:
Why and how a hospital started its own physician-screening program
How one program is tackling the aging issue among surgeons
As new payment models emerge that emphasize value over volume, providers are being compelled to look more closely at how to motivate patients—especially those with multiple chronic conditions—to actively manage their care, make better decisions and change behaviors. This editorial webinar will explore the relationships between engagement and improved health outcomes, greater patient satisfaction and better resource utilization. Our panel of experts will share proven strategies for building patients' confidence, disseminating self-management tools and making the best use of your care team.

A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a frontline public health worker who is a trusted community member with an unusually close understanding of the community served. This is short presentation designed to garner support for CHWs.
Edwina Rogers, executive director of Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative, began her presentation by highlighting the movement to advance medical homes.
With the U.S. being the number one in the world for the cost of healthcare and ranked number 37 in the quality category, something needs to change. Rogers discussed the broad stakeholder support and participation for the movement, as well as the incredible volunteer involvement. The four ‘centers’ include: the Center to Promote Public-Payer Implementation, the Center for Multi-Stakeholder Demonstration, the Center for eHealth Information Adoption and Exchange and the Center for Health Benefit Redesign and Implementation. Medical Homes will provide superb access to care, patient engagament in care, clinical information systems, care coordination, team care, patient feedback and publically available information.
Edwards explained that the Obama administration believes the medical homes concept is the best way to approach healthcare reform. The U.S. House of Representatives has showed great support for the movement and is helping develop and allocate funds for a five-year pilot program. She expressed her enthusiasm for the movement and her prediction that the medical home model is certainly the future of health care.

From Burnout to Engagement: Strategies to Promote Physician Wellness and Work...Modern Healthcare
Slides from a Modern Healthcare presentation.
http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20150225/INFO/302259999/webinar-from-burnout-to-engagement-strategies-to-promote-physician
Faced with long hours, unrelenting administrative burdens and the pressure to treat patients quickly, a growing number of physicians are experiencing burnout, a condition characterized by loss of empathy, exhaustion, and a low sense of accomplishment. According to a Mayo Clinic survey from 2012, nearly one in two U.S physicians reported at least one symptom of burnout, up from 22% in 2001. For hospitals with stressed caregivers, the stakes are high. Burned out, dissatisfied physicians are far more likely to make medical errors and are less able to communicate effectively with patients and co-workers. They're also at a higher risk for substance abuse and are more likely to leave clinical practice altogether.
Webinar: Leading the Journey - Cultivating Success in HealthcareModern Healthcare
The fifth annual Huron Healthcare CEO Forum brought together dozens of the most experienced executives in hospitals and health systems across the country to address challenges, share experiences and assess high-level strategies to achieve success in the year ahead. The Forum also featured executives from leading brands outside healthcare, such as The Home Depot and Coca-Cola, who shared valuable and applicable advice for navigating the rapidly changing healthcare environment.
Two of the three largest data breaches in healthcare industry history have occurred in the past six months – exposing personally identifiable patient and health plan membership records on 84.5 million individuals – a number equal to the populations of California, Texas, New York and Nevada combined. Both breaches were attributed to hackers from China. These, and other massive hacks in financial services and retail, prompted President Obama to sign an executive order in February calling on government and the private sector to step up the nation's defenses against cybersecurity threats.
As pressure mounts on hospitals to improve quality and reduce costs, they have turned to medicine's fastest growing physician specialty—hospital medicine---to improve clinical performance and operational efficiency. How this new role for hospitalists plays out varies according to the type, location and creativity of individual healthcare organizations and the resources available to them. This editorial webinar will explore the steps health care organizations should take to prepare and position their hospitalists for quality-improvement responsibilities. Our panel of experts will share their insights, experiences and proven strategies for success.

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

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Distribution and Use
• State-supported education and training
• Scholarships and loan repayment
• State labor department- tracking employment and workforce
needs (LMI Directors)
• State Primary Care Offices
• Medicaid policies
• State employee health insurance
• Provision of state and local public health services
• Licensure and regulation of practitioners
• Regulation of service delivery
6. Delivery System Transformation and the
Workforce
• Pressure to do more with less
• The transformation is being driven by public policies as
well as the provider and payer community and patients
• The growing supply of PAs, NPs and other health care
practitioners will enable and stimulate the transformation
• Incentives to make better use of the workers we have;
• Teams and collaborative practice and education
• New categories/variations on support personnel
• Reassess scope of practice and scope of work
• Increased use of technology

11. Recent HRSA Report:
“Projecting the Supply and Demand for Primary Care
Practitioners through 2020”
• Demand for primary care services will increase due largely to
population growth and aging
• Demand for PC physicians will grow more rapidly than supply resulting
in a projected shortage of approximately 20,400 FTE physicians
• The supply of primary care NPs and PAs, is projected to grow rapidly
and could mitigate the projected shortage of physicians if NPs and
PAs continue to be effectively integrated into the delivery system
• Assuming full deployment of available NPs and PAs, the projected
shortage of PC Practitioners in 2020 (6,400 FTEs) is very close to the
estimated shortage in 2010 (7,500 FTEs).
• The national numbers can mask regional and local shortages.

16. What will the staffing of the Patient Centered Medical
Home look like*?
A. If no delegation: 1 physician for 983 patients =
315,000 PC physicians; Then significant shortage!
B. If significant delegation: 1 physician for 1,947 pts =
159,000 PC physicians; Then significant surplus!
But even with a national surplus, local shortages are likely !
The Importance of the Team in Assuring
Access to Primary Care Services
* “Estimating a Reasonable Patient Panel Size for Primary Care Physicians
with Team Based Delegation”, Altschuler, Margolis, Bodenheimer and
Grumbach; Annals of Family Medicine, Sept/Oct 2012
17. • Geographic and specialty mal-distribution is a serious
problem
• For many professions and many physician specialties,
the national supply may look adequate but there are
serious access problems for many people due to the
distribution of the supply
• Different strategies needed to address mal-distribution
compared to general shortages
• Targeted investments are needed
The Problem of Mal-distribution
18. • Demand is rising but it is usually for services not a
particular profession; there are multiple ways of
assuring access to care.
• Health systems transformation will drive changes in the
health workforce, including the mix and configuration of
the workforce, responsibilities and roles, and supply
and distribution.
• The increasing supply of non-physician clinicians and
other caregivers will facilitate delivery system change.
• While there are many unknowns related to the future
delivery system, we do know that more practitioners will
work in teams.

The Future of the
Healthcare Workforce
22. Factors impacting workforce:
1. “Baby Boomers” born between 1946 and 1964 will turn 65,
when health care utilization historically doubles.
2. Nation’s growing population
3. Growing burden of chronic diseases
4. Continued scientific progress and tech innovation
5. New health care payment models
6. Younger professionals desire a different lifestyle – life/work
balance
7. In the US, the supply of physicians and nurses is projected to
decrease (retirement, leaving the field)
a. We are producing more annually
b. The supply measure is numbers of professionals per
population) over the next 15 years
c. Productivity/hours worked per professional have decreased
26. What’s Next?
1. Several things exacerbating shortages in
the next decades
2. Takes a long time to expand the workforce
as it is currently composed
3. Solution may be to change the “needs” by
changing the make up of the workforce
4. More work as teams
27. Teams…Increased Efficiency, Everyone Working to
Their Full Potential
• Need to identify appropriate
ways to utilize a broader group of
care givers –
– Many requiring shorter/different
training periods
• Potential for changes of scopes of
practice
• Imperative that traditional
practitioners become more
collaborative, communicative
28. AAHC’s recommendation
• Solution is more complex than simply
increasing the numbers of providers
• Issues of:
– which specialties
–geographic distribution
–training to enhance work as
interdisciplinary teams
• Past due in preparing for future health
workforce
•
29. Without Planning…
• Currently we turn spigot off & on
• ACA included the establishment
of a National Health Care
Workforce Commission
• ACA also provided for state
health care workforce
development grants to address
shortages in each state
