RE-RELEASE from Season 2: Mayo Clinic Talks “Evaluating Hematuria”
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: Aaron M. Potretzke, M.D.
Today, we're airing a popular episode from Season 2 of Mayo Clinic Talks! Happy Holidays!
Microscopic hematuria, and less commonly gross hematuria, are conditions commonly seen by the primary care provider. Malignancy is the most ominous cause of hematuria. Fortunately, other causes are much more likely. Since this is a relatively common health condition, when should we investigate hematuria and what should the evaluation consist of? How do we evaluate a patient’s risk for urinary tract malignancy? Dr. Aaron Potretzke, a urologist at Mayo Clinic, joins us to discuss these questions.

59 I Beyond Metrics: Building Equitable Patient Experience with Sven Gierlinger
We welcome Sven Gerlinger to discuss the importance of health equity in patient experience at Northwell Health. We explore how equitable care is deeply personal and why it's essential to segment data to ensure all voices, especially those from smaller communities, are heard. We delve into the need for diverse methods of gathering patient feedback, emphasizing the value of in-depth research and home visits. The conversation also touches on implicit biases within healthcare interactions and the significance of supporting both staff and patients in these challenging scenarios. We discuss designing healthcare experiences that cater to marginalized communities to benefit everyone and the importance of including caregivers in the patient experience. Finally, we highlight the critical role of cultural and language considerations in providing comprehensive, equitable care.
Overview:
00:00 Segment data, diversify methods, conduct in-depth research.
03:25 Adopting new diet due to health, stigma.

Episode 194: Anna Dhody Part 1 – Bones, Museums, And Seizing Opportunities
My guest today is Forensic Anthropologist Anna Dhody.
What we talk about with Anna in part 1:
Anna initially studied archaeology, influenced by visits to the Penn Museum in Philadelphia as a child.
She developed a passion for archaeology at a young age, around 9 or 10 years old.
Chose Boston University for its separate archaeology department, which offered more opportunities than those combined with anthropology departments.
After attending an excavation in Belize during her sophomore year, she became interested in biological anthropology, focusing on human bones and their stories.
She realized the competitive nature of academia and planned to pursue a master's in forensic science instead of a PhD.
Anna wrote a thesis manual titled "The Underground Crime Scene" for law enforcement on how to excavate buried crime scenes, which gained unexpected international circulation.
Applied for jobs after graduation and was scouted by the CIA but ultimately accepted a position at Harvard's Peabody Museum due to the need for osteologists for a NAGPRA project.
Worked at the Peabody Museum for four years, taking advantage of free classes and gaining valuable experience.
Became involved with a United Nations project in Peru to train local medical personnel in forensic anthropology, which turned into a significant teaching role.
Returned from Peru and took a temporary position at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. What was initially meant to last five months ended up lasting nearly 20 years.
Anna’s career path was shaped by a combination of luck and the challenges faced in the museum world, emphasizing the importance of seizing opportunities.

121: AI in Play: Smarter Care
Remember those clunky voice assistants from the early days of the internet? Well, the AI technology behind them has evolved dramatically and thanks to the power of Generative AI, we’re now talking to a new breed of conversational digital agents. These advanced AI agents can hold meaningful conversations with patients, offering multilingual support and knowledgeable guidance on a range of health issues. With these new capabilities, there is growing interest -- even excitement -- in Generative AI’s potential to improve access to care, address workforce shortages, and enable clinicians to reach people and communities and connect them to care and resources in ways we haven’t thought possible. In this episode of our AI in Play series, we dive into the world of Generative AI agents with human experts Amy McCarthy, Chief Nursing Officer and Scott Collado, Senior Product Designer at Hippocratic AI, and Adam Updegraff DNP, CRNP, Senior Director at WellSpan Health to learn how they’re built and trained, who’s on the team building and rigorously testing them, and the real-world impact they're having on patients, communities, and clinicians. Tune in to hear how the future of healthcare is about teamwork between humans and technology, working together to deliver safer, smarter, and more accessible care for all.
