Join us for an eye-opening episode as we discuss the truth behind the U.S. opioid crisis with our guest, patient advocate Richard A. Lawhern. Contrary to popular belief, doctors did not cause this crisis by over-prescribing opioid pain relievers to their patients. Instead, illegal street drugs primarily drive this crisis, which is fueled by socio-economic determinants of health. We'll delve into the profound misdirections and fraudulent nonsense of current public policy on addiction, overdose deaths, and harm reduction, and explore the multi-dimensional redirections of health care policy needed to address the crisis. Tune in for an informative discussion on the need for new laws and policy redirections to ensure better access to opioid medications under medical supervision, and ultimately, to provide solutions to the millions of U.S. citizens living in a nation in pain.

Some startups provide tools directly consumers and patients while others tackle issues in the hospital, at the other end of the care journey. Our two guests today, Dr. Scott Kaiser from Determined Health and Nick Lockett from Pear Suite, occupy a sort of middle ground. They empower communities and community-based organizations to provide better care for vulnerable people. It doesn’t take much to see the need for more empowered communities in healthcare. Every day we see more headlines about an epidemic of loneliness and the role of social connection in health outcomes. That data is in, and it’s not good. We know from our own experience that there are health concerns you might share with a friend before turning to a doctor. Nowhere is the need for community-based health intervention more clear than with seniors. According to our guests today, that process starts with empowering authentic, actionable communication. So they’ve built unique tools and platforms designed make that process scaleable, replicable, and easy. Our first guest today is Scott Kaiser, MD, CEO & Co-founder of Determined Health, a company that joined StartUp Health in 2022. Dr. Kaiser, a trained geriatrician, along with this team, was recently recognized by CHIME and ScaleHealth as a finalist in their patent engagement challenge. After receiving the award in the “digital front door” category, he likened his company to being the Walmart greeter for the healthcare system. Our next guest is Nick Lockett, CTO & Co-founder at Pear Suite. As you’ll hear, Pear Suite – also a StartUp Health company since 2022 – gives organizations the tools necessary to track community-driven care and identify social determinants of health. Their data-driven approach upgrades a life-saving process that has often been relegated to pen and paper. Enjoy the episode, which was recorded at the ViVE 2023 conference in Nashville.

GT Sweeney, Chief Information Officer, Healthfirst and Sami Boshut, Chief Information Officer, MediSys Health Network, Inc., join Eric to discuss how their organizations collaborated to create a cloud-based platform that enables seamless sharing of patient data across the care continuum.     The platform connects longitudinal data from claims, quality measures and electronic health records (EHRs) to identify gaps in care, making it easier for providers to address patient needs in real-time. The two discuss how the platform supports the next phase of value-based care by ensuring providers have the right information at the right time to address the needs of patients.    Sweeney and Boshut also outline a blueprint to help other organizations implement similar provider-centric technology systems.   .

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guests: Robin M. Lloyd, M.D., & Michael Silber, M.B. Ch.B. In most people, sleep is a peaceful activity. Dreaming is a normal component of our sleep and represents activity of the brain at a time the rest of our body is inactive. However, for some individuals sleep is not a peaceful activity. Some can experience very violent dreams, often associated with physical movements. Sleepwalking is another nighttime activity which some experience.  Violent dreams and sleepwalking can place the patient as well as others at risk for injury. How common are these behaviors? What causes them and how can these patients be treated. In this podcast, we’ll discuss violent dreams, sleep walking and other strange nighttime events with Mayo Clinic sleep specialists, Robin M. Lloyd, M.D., from the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and Michael Silber, M.B. Ch.B., from the Department of Neurology.
