In the course of their conversation, Keith and his guests discuss the genesis and mission of Project Austin, which seeks to "create awareness within the community regarding the needs of children living with medical complexity and establish an emergency system that is specific to each child, to ensure that every child receives the correct care they require, and that such care is easily accessible within their local community."

Tiffany’s personal and professional career drives her motivation to provide optimal care for children with complex medical needs across the continuum. Her “why” is simple, Tiffany’s medically complex son, Austin, suffered a lethal medical error during an emergency. Austin’s death affected numerous people including the first responders and emergency department healthcare professionals caring for him. Tiffany’s passion includes providing exceptional to children with medical complexity by increasing awareness and education to the healthcare professionals who are called to care for them in a time of emergency.
Natalie McCawley is the Project Austin Program Manager of External Affairs at Children’s Nebraska and one of the Program’s Co-Developers. Driven by a passion for medically complex children and the communities who are called upon to assist in an emergency, she has dedicated her life to improving outcomes and empowering EMS and Community Emergency Departments with the knowledge, preparation and resources needed to make a difference with this especially vulnerable patient population.
Natalie graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Nursing Program with her BSN in May of 2005 and accepted a position in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Children’s Nebraska. In February of 2010 she joined the Pediatric/Neonatal Critical Care Transport Team and became trained as an ECMO Specialist as well as a member of the heart transplant team. With a passion for education, she transitioned to the Transport Outreach Coordinator position in November of 2014 and graduated with her MSN in December 2016.

Portugal: Centralizing Digital Health Decision Making and Solution Design
This episode gives an in-depth insight into healthcare digitalization in Portugal. Cátia Sousa Pinto, Head of Global Digital Health and International Affairs at SPMS - shared services of ministry of health of Portugal talked about healthcare digitalization in Portugal, European Health Data Space (EHDS), patient data and more.
Key Points Summary
Portugal's Digital Health Leadership: Portugal has been a leader in digital health within Europe, with early advancements like the creation of a national eHealth agency (SPMS) over a decade ago.
SPMS Role: SPMS plays a dual role, not only regulating but also developing and maintaining ICT solutions for Portugal's healthcare system. This centralization helps prevent fragmentation and ensures interoperability.
European Health Data Space (EHDS): EHDS is the EU's regulatory framework for cross-border health data sharing, building on initiatives like MyHealth@EU. The goal is to allow seamless healthcare across Europe, where any EU citizen can access healthcare in other countries as if they were at home.
My Health at EU: A foundational initiative that enables cross-border exchange of health data like patient summaries and e-prescriptions between EU countries.
Patient Data: Catia emphasized the importance of patients controlling their health data and being able to share it across healthcare providers. This includes e-prescriptions, laboratory results, and, eventually, medical images.
Portugal's National Electronic Health Record: A key project for the country is the creation of a unified electronic health record system, allowing citizens to access all of their health data, both public and private, from a single source.
Use of EU Funding: Portugal has allocated €300 million from the EU's recovery funds for digital health transformation, focusing on infrastructure, citizen-centric services, and reducing the burden on healthcare professionals.
Challenges and Future Outlook: The integration of digital health into national governance and improving interoperability between systems remain ongoing challenges. Katia stressed the importance of moving towards real-time, structured health data to improve future healthcare outcomes.

113: Nurses on the Hill
History and experience show that nurses raising their voices shape health policy. From advancing the profession to advocating for patients, nurses are well-positioned to articulate and champion the changes and legislation needed for better health, care, and access. That's the idea behind the American Nurses Association’s (ANA) annual ‘Hill Day,’ which focuses on advocating in the United States Congress for the more than 5 million nurses across the U.S. and the people and communities they care for. In this episode, we’re on the ground in Washington, DC meeting with nurses who are showing up and speaking up at ANA Hill Day 2024, and exploring engagement and advocacy – at the local, state and national levels – in the nursing profession. Tune in to hear from ANA President Jennifer Mensik Kennedy PhD, RN, NEA-BC and ANA VP for Policy and Government Affairs Tim Nanof what advocating for families, communities and the workforce sounds like and why more than 500 nurses came to the U.S. Capitol to do so. Find this episode’s resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and to find out more information on the podcast bundles visit ANA’s Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.
