Integrating Behavioral Health into Primary Care – Thought Leaders in Populati...Epstein Becker Green
Although mental health and substance abuse (behavioral health) services have historically been segregated from traditional medical care, its impact on patients’ well-being, physical health and cost-of-care has become increasingly critical to improving clinical quality outcomes while significantly decreasing financial costs by tens of billions of dollars. Drs. Daviss and Coleman will discuss the advances in policy and practice regarding the integration of behavioral health with physical health, as well as some of the gaps in identifying, aggregating, and analyzing data critical to a more holistic and comprehensive view of the individual.
In addition, the speakers will:
* Identify the clinical, legal, social, and financial impacts of behavioral health disorders on chronic medical conditions.
* Describe the challenges involved in improving clinical and financial outcomes in patients with chronic medical conditions who also have behavioral health symptoms and/or conditions.
* Demonstrate the rewards for implementing new information technology applications and analysis for better clinical and financial outcomes for these specific populations.

Running the gauntlet to improve
patient care
This supplement is the result of a gauntlet
thrown down, and picked up, during a dinner
in London just over a year ago. The gauntlet
thrower was Don Berwick, president of the
Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Boston.
What, he asked, was the BMJ Publishing Group
really for? What were we trying to achieve? In
reply, I and our chief executive, Stella Dutton,
were quick to quote the BMJ’s mission, which
ends with the crucial words “to improve
outcomes for patients.” Fine, said Don, but how
about being more specific: which outcomes,
what patients, by how much?
We took his suggestion seriously. Why not
target a few important healthcare problems,
taking a quality improvement approach
and focusing on the evidence on how to
make a difference in these areas? But how
to choose which issues to tackle among
the many millions of pressing healthcare
challenges facing the world? We turned in the
first instance to BMJ readers. In May 2007
we asked you to tell us what information was
most needed to improve the quality of care of
patients in clinical practice. From your many
rapid responses we harvested more than 200
ideas. After categorising these and matching
them against the priorities of national and
international bodies, we created a shortlist
of 12. With the help of an expert panel (see
http://makingadifference.bmj.com) we cut
these down to six.
Inevitably the choice of topics is subjective
rather than scientific, but the six we have
ended up with are interesting. Several turn the
spotlight on areas that are less than glamorous
and are perhaps all too often passed over, even
as their impact on individual lives and society
increases. Two topics deal with problems of
old age: multiple illness and adverse drug
reactions. Two deal with palliation: of chronic
pain and in dying from non-malignant disease.
The remaining topics deal with two very
different but serious and growing public health
challenges: drug resistant infections in the
developing world and excessive drinking in
young women. You will no doubt find important
gaps in what we have chosen. But if this
initiative proves useful we can expand it further.
On each of the six topics we’ve invited
leading commentators to write the pairs
of articles that make up this supplement.
One article in each pair aims to describe
the importance of the problem in terms of
its health and societal impact. The other
looks at the available evidence on quality

Historically and across societies people with disabilities have been stigmatized and excluded from social opportunities on a variety of culturally specific grounds. These justifications include assertions that people with disabilities are biologically defective, less than capable, costly, suffering, or fundamentally inappropriate for social inclusion. Rethinking the idea of disability so as to detach being disabled from inescapable disadvantage has been considered a key to twenty-first century reconstruction of how disablement is best understood.
Such ‘destigmatizing’ has prompted hot contestation about disability. Bioethicists in the ‘destigmatizing’ camp have lined up to present non-normative accounts, ranging from modest to audacious, that characterize disablement as “mere difference” or in other neutral terms. The arguments for their approach range from applications of standards for epistemic justice to insights provided by evolutionary biology. Conversely, other bioethicists vehemently reject such non-normative or “mere difference” accounts, arguing instead for a “bad difference” stance. “Bad difference” proponents contend that our strongest intuitions make us weigh disability negatively. Furthermore, they warn, destigmatizing disability could be dangerous because social support for medical programs that prevent or cure disability is predicated on disability’s being a condition that it is rational to avoid. Construing disability as normatively neutral thus could undermine the premises for resource support, access priorities, and cultural mores on which the practice of medicine depends.
The “mere difference” vs. “bad difference” debate can have serious implications for legal and policy treatment of disability, and shape strategies for allocating and accessing health care. For example, the framing of disability impacts the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, and other legal tools designed to address discrimination. The characterization of disability also has health care allocation and accessibility ramifications, such as the treatment of preexisting condition preclusions in health insurance. The aim of this conference was to construct a twenty-first century conception of disablement that resolves the tension about whether being disabled is merely neutral or must be bad, examines and articulates the clinical, philosophical, and practical implications of that determination, and attempts to integrate these conclusions into medical and legal practices.

Role of Nurses in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in Older Adults
Healthy aging and health promotion behaviors among older adults are strongly related to self-efficacy (Wu & Sheng, 2019). However, most older people struggle with self-efficacy due to economic, social, and environmental factors, leading to poor health outcomes. From this perspective, nurses have the primary role of promoting self-efficacy among older adults. One of the strategies to achieve this outcome is advocacy. According to Lecture Notes (Slide 28), older adults are able to continue to control their lives with the help of nurses’ advocacy.
For instance, nurses can advocate for the allocation of more resources toward social support programs for older adults. Wu & Sheng (2019) argue that social support from friends and neighbors of older adults is more impactful on their healthy aging and self-efficacy compared to family support. Hence, nurses should be at the forefront in fighting for adequate resources for such programs as a way of disease prevention and health promotion in older adults. Nurses should also make recommendations and encourage older adults they interact with to join available social support programs within their communities. I make such recommendations at work every time I see an older adult receiving little support from family due to the positive health outcomes I have noticed in those that have similar characteristics but have benefited from being part of such programs.
Screening/Preventive Procedures for Older Adults
Caring for older adults is often complex due to comorbidities and concurrent factors that influence their health outcomes. This makes preventive or screening procedures critical in caring for them. Some of the procedures include screening for sensory impairments, screening for functional impairment, and fall-risk assessment (Seematter-Bagnoud & Bula, 2018). Screening for sensory impairments mainly involves assessing visual and hearing abilities, as these factors rank high on geriatric impairments. Sensory impairments have adverse implications on cognitive functioning, psychological well-being, and fall risks (Seematter-Bagnoud & Bula, 2018). Screening for functional impairment assesses the ability of the older adult to perform usual day-to-day activities, predict future functional trajectory and obtain prognosis information. Lastly is fall risk assessment, which is performed for effective preventive interventions. According to Seematter-Bagnoud & Bula (2018), one in ten older adults have significant injuries every year as a result of falls. These injuries pose a serious threat to their functional independence, which, in turn, impedes self-efficacy and healthy aging.

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.
