FRESHLY PUBLISHED! Our latest report dives into the realm of value-based behavioral healthcare and the accompanying challenges when trying to bring it to life. It emphasizes two primary objectives — reducing costs for payers and improving patient outcomes. Value-based care necessitates the development of consistent approaches with measurable successes, all while creating an environment of innovation and creativity. In our exploration, we posed questions to our partner organizations and speakers at the 2023 Behavioral Health Tech conference, seeking insights into their strategies for addressing value-based care issues. Their responses provide valuable perspectives, guiding the way for larger discussions set to unfold in November.

In this heart to heart conversation, Dr. Catherine Seo and Lisa Duerre reflect on their journey so far as co-hosts of this series, discussing the invaluable insights shared, the inspiring community engagement, and their own personal takeaways from the April Lipedema Simplified’s Heart to Heart Virtual Event Conference. Among the topics discussed, they shared insights from Dr. Matthew Carmody’s talk on obesity, lipedema, and GLP-1 medications (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, etc.) and his message on the importance of informed conversations with healthcare providers. Catherine shares exciting news about the groundbreaking collaborative paper just published “Proposed Research Case Definitions of Lipedema”. This paper not only underscores the need for clear research definitions in the field but also brings hope for patients and clinicians, showing how they can use this paper now in their quest for a diagnosis. The conversation extends to the series' future, with Catherine and Lisa expressing their commitment to continuing the dialogue on weight bias, advocacy, and navigating life with lipedema. They stress the importance of the audience's engagement, inviting viewers to join the ongoing conversation and take actionable steps towards better health and support. 👉 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/eFM5reZu Our weekly podcast Navigating with Lipedema is now on Apple: https://lnkd.in/eZJp7WkU #Podcast #LipedemaAwareness #LipedemaEvents #lipedema #lymphedema #selfcare #lipoedema #LipedemaSupport #lipedemawarrior #ketoforlipedema #painrelief #inflammation #chronicpain #chronicdisease #lymphaticdisorder #misdiagnosedfat #thediseasetheycallfat #ItsNotYourFault #LipedemaSimplified #lipedematreatment #selfcareforlipedema #holistictreatment #lippylegs #HeartToHeart

Patient adherence is a challenge for clinicians and the healthcare industry with tangible economic and health consequences. You would think that patients would follow the doctor’s orders (it’s in their own best interest after all!); but, 50% of patients with chronic illnesses are not taking their medications as prescribed. Why not 🤔? DeltaMV’s core expertise is in behavioural science which provides a framework for understanding irrational behaviour by examining different cognitive biases or mental shortcuts for decision-making. Listen to our latest podcast to understand what cognitive biases are driving this irrationality and what can be done to improve patient adherence.

Measuring patient outcomes is revolutionizing the way behavioral health providers communicate and set expectations. 🧠📊 Unlike in the past, where the effectiveness of treatments was a bit of a mystery, providers are now able to show tangible progress through measurement-based care (MBC). This not only boosts patient confidence but also allows marketers to showcase the value and quality of their services. As consumers become more informed, they’ll demand transparency and evidence-based results. Just like choosing a laser eye surgeon, they will want to see the potential for dramatic improvement rather than uncertainty. Check out our latest episode of Ignite with Mark Potter, CEO of Mirah to learn more about MBC and practical strategies for implementing MBC in a competitive market.

🎙 Exciting News! 🎙 Thrilled to share that I was recently on the Pharmacy Times Pharmacy Focus podcast as a guest with my team members Amie Stephens and Emilee Kennelly. We discussed one of the most crucial topics in healthcare today: Social Determinants of Health. Here at RITE AID our pharmacy teams have seen firsthand the profound impact that social factors can have on individual health outcomes. In this engaging conversation, we dive into the intricate ways in which social determinants influence health disparities and access to care. Pharmacies and pharmacy teams are positioned in a unique way to help members of our communities alleviate some of the stressors that come from SDOH risks. As advocates for equitable healthcare, it's imperative that we continue to shed light on these disparities and work towards solutions together. Tune in to gain valuable insights and perspectives on navigating the complex landscape of social determinants of health from a pharmacy viewpoint. Listen to the podcast episode below and let's continue the conversation together! #HealthEquity #SDOH #HealthcareInnovation #PodcastInterview

People often wonder what lifestyle medicine-trained clinicians do differently. They offer a person-centered approach, integrating team-based care to deliver whole-person health by addressing the root causes of many chronic diseases. At the core of their practice is the ability to improve patient activation by assessing knowledge, skills, and confidence for self-management. This helps identify patients who can benefit from health behavior coaching, motivational interviewing, and additional education, support, and resources. This approach is the best way to enhance patient engagement, improve clinical outcomes, decrease healthcare utilization, reduce healthcare costs, enhance patient experience, and improve health professional satisfaction. #LifestyleMedicine #Healthcare #PatientCare American College of Lifestyle Medicine Tyler Hemmingson Kaitlyn Pauly MS, RD, DipACLM Martin Tull
