On episode 453 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Dr. Annie DePasquale, MD, a physician who cares about nurse practitioners and helps them to find caring, compassionate, and interested physicians with whom they can collaborate, especially in states where such a relationship is legally required. In 2020, Dr. DePasquale founded Collaborating Docs when she realized that the hoops that nurse practitioners have to jump through to start practicing are too exhausting for anyone to handle alone, especially in light of how challenging it is for NPs to find collaborating physicians. Dr. DePasquale benefited greatly from the mentorship of NPs throughout her career, especially when she was a green new doctor, so she is very committed to giving back to the community that helped her so much. Her mission is to make it easy for NPs to help more patients by having freedom of choice. Collaborating Docs has helped over 2500 NPs match with collaborating physicians. Originally studying piano & French as an undergrad at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dr. DePasquale subsequently graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia and completed her Facility Medicine Residency program at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. She has taught for the Teach America program in Baltimore, MD and worked for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in Washington, D.C., Medford, Oregon, and Lynchburg, Virginia.

December 22, 2023: In this unique episode of This Week Health, host Bill Russell brings us a playful take on candid moments, outtakes, and chatter that didn't make it to the original interviews. With guest appearances from the interviewees over the last year, they delve into an array of topics while keeping the conversation light-hearted. Are the bloopers sometimes more interesting than the official conversation? Which ideas and quips were too unconventional to make it into the original interview? What kind of insights does Russell's off-the-cuff commentary reveal about the evolution of technology in healthcare? Interestingly, throughout these seemingly silly moments, we notice glimpses of valuable insights that could spark thoughtful discussions on healthcare and technology.Key Points:Candid Interview MomentsIn-the-Moment OuttakeInformal Expert DiscussionsDigital Transformation InsightsSubscribe: This Week HealthTwitter: This Week HealthLinkedIn: Week HealthDonate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer

During the holiday season, Pete and the team from Talking HealthTech are taking a well earned break, so while they're away, the hosts of various shows from within the Talking HealthTech Podcast Network are sharing some of their favourite episodes from their own podcasts!This episode is brought to you by Victoria from Digital Ecology.About Digital Ecology:The Digital Ecology podcast creates a window into the backstory of technology adoption in the UK’s healthcare system. Through interviews with experts in the field, we shine a light on the inner workings of digital health and uncover a world of complexity and challenge. We are in the foothills of technology adoption, where the hype doesn’t always match the reality.About This Episode:In the first of my second series of the Digital Ecology podcast I host a panel conversation about the role of simulation in healthcare professional training and how it applies to all stages of design, development and implementation of digital technologies in the NHS. I'm joined by James Woollard, a child psychiatrist and chief clinical information officer along with Wendy Chapman and Kit Huckvale from the University of Melbourne who run an immersive simulation space. We chat about the role of simulation in mitigating risk of harm when implementing digital health interventions and in working out unintended consequences of how a technology might work in practice. Simulation has a role in assessing complexity - taking into account the technology itself, environment, culture, people, process and how data works. We discuss real life examples of simulation in practice and the groundbreaking Validitron at the University of Melbourne - how it works with technology companies and researchers - bridging the gap between implementation and evidence generation. Simulating common scenarios can assist in exploring what could go wrong, reducing the cost of failure and improving uptake as well as the peripheral factors such as devices and connectivity.Check out more episodes from Digital Ecology:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/digital-ecology-podcast/id1613898368Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5pFf3xb6pk1alEM1dzP3RG

Brought to you by: Mayo Clinic Talks Podcast Flu and cold season is an annual concern for people around the world. Specifically in the United States, there are massive disparities in both care and outcomes for communities of color related to both diagnosis and treatment of flu and cold. On this episode of the RISE for Equity podcast, Nusheen Ameenuddin, M.D., M.P.H., joins host Nicole Nfonoyim-Hara to discuss COVID’s impact on cold and flu, protecting our communities, and how we can improve education and access to care for marginalized communities.  “The truth of the matter is genetically, we're all very similar. It's not an issue of race, it's an issue of racism. When we actually step back, people can be like, ‘Oh, that situation was a one-off.’ And when we actually look at the data, it's not a one-off. The fact is, we're not asking the right questions, and we need to look deeper to ensure that we are providing the best possible care, the most objective care, the most patient-centered care, particularly when we see that we're falling short. And, and the numbers don't lie.” Guest: Nusheen Ameenuddin, M.D., M.P.H., is currently an Assistant Professor and Consultant (tenured staff physician) in the Division of Community Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
