In this episode, we hear about DR. JAMES CIMA’s journey to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic started when he suffered a back injury at the age of 15 and spent years enduring back pain. When he graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of
Science, someone suggested he visit a chiropractor. The combination of being amazed by the results and his desire to be in the health field, he decided to enroll at New York Chiropractic College, graduating with honors and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. When he was in his last year of school, he saw a quote from Thomas Edison about a doctor who did not even exist. Mr. Edison stated that: “The Doctor Of The Future Will Give No Medication But Will Interest His Patients In Diet, Care Of The Human Frame, And The Cause And Prevention Of Disease.”
Dr. Cima has spent forty years of his life devoted to Mr. Edison’s definition of health and wellness, creating a health and wellness program that lives up to Mr. Edison’s vision of the doctor of the future. Over the years, he has authored many books and articles and taught, educated and trained countless doctors. He has also completed extensive postgraduate education in:
Nutrition Blood Chemistry Analysis, Exercise Physiology/Kinesiology, Neuroendocrinology, Craniopathy, Organ and Glandular Therapy, Neuromuscular Re-education, Extremity Technique, etc.
He is in the process of developing a website designed to help people worldwide improve their health through nutrition. When he’s not busy researching, writing, lecturing or helping patients, he enjoys spending time with his wife Gloria, his family, including four children and ten grandchildren.
As an avid golfer, Dr. Cima is also certified by the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI). With that training and the skills Dr. Cima states that he can improve the average golfer’s handicap by 5-10 strokes, simply by making their body more functional then creating the perfect swing
for their body type.
Dr. Cima is in practice with his son, Dr. James Paul Cima, and his daughter, Dr. Natalie DeJesse. Our 5000 square foot clinic along with ten other physicians (MD, DO, DC’s,) allows our patients to receive the best health care thru a Functional And Traditional Medical approach to health care.

Pharmacy Interoperability: New Opportunities, Persistent Challenges
Topic Summary: Interoperability has been a buzzword for the healthcare industry for many years, but until now, the conversation has centered around how to get doctors and healthcare systems more accurate, complete patient health data for improved outcomes. In 30 years of e-prescribing, the pharmacy’s role – at least where interoperable data sharing is concerned - has been viewed from the narrow lens of fulfillment. Today, there are encouraging signs of change, particularly coming out of the ONC’s annual meeting in December 2023.
Pharmacy Interoperability: Persistent Challenges….
-Technical, economic, structural, and psychological issues that must be addressed
-Conflicting concerns/interests of the major players within the industry, including NACDS/NCPA, AMA, HHS, and others
-Data standards/lack of available infrastructure and networks to advance and scale interoperability with pharmacists and pharmacies
-Competition can impede pharmacy collaboration in data sharing
….New Opportunities
-Awareness is growing, more attention and focus from ONC, CMS, and others of the unique technical, economic, and business challenges pharmacies face – and acknowledgment of the critical role pharmacists play as equal members of the patient care team
-AI in pharmacy workflow and patient-facing tech solutions are connecting the provider, patient, and pharmacy like never before
-Pharmacy vendors are looking for new and innovative ways to partner within innovative data-sharing business models
