Healthcare worker burnout is a critical issue. Bill Charnetski, EVP of Health System Solutions at PointClickCare, reveals how burnout impacts both patient care and operational efficiency, sharing personal insights from his wife’s experience in skilled nursing administration. He advocates for leveraging health information technology to reduce administrative burdens, enhance job satisfaction, and minimize manual errors. The importance of thoughtful policy-making in supporting healthcare workers and ensuring technology adoption effectively addresses their needs without adding to their workload cannot be underscored enough. A shift in tone towards valuing frontline healthcare heroes and implementing flexible, targeted regulations to improve care and operational outcomes is needed.

Specialty drugs bring new hope to patients with complex conditions, but they also present unique challenges.
In this episode of Podnosis, Heath Clendening speaks with Peter Demogenes, Senior Vice President of Product at Optum, about how health plans are adapting to the rapidly changing specialty care sector.
Demogenes explains two common strategies health plans use.
First, individualized management typically sees issues managed on a case-by-case basis, focusing on medical benefits, and utilizing tools to manage costs independently.
Second, holistic management takes a broader view, recognizing the interconnectedness of patients, providers, payers, and stakeholders.
The conversation also highlights the role of innovation, featuring Optum’s Specialty Fusion program. Designed to simplify care for patients with complex conditions, this program not only lowers the cost of expensive specialty drugs but also streamlines treatment decision-making for health plans, helping patients start their therapies sooner.
For further insights into how these innovations are shaping the future of specialty care, listen to the full episode.

Microplastics are everywhere, including our bodies. Research suggests that ingested microplastics can reduce fertility and increase the risk of cancer and other diseases. However, the full effects of their chemical makeup on human health are not yet known.
Plastic has been used in the healthcare setting since the 1900s. The material does have some benefits, like hygiene and lower cost. At the same time, single-use plastics contribute enormously to healthcare waste and pollute the environment, in addition to the body.
In this week's episode of "Podnosis," two experts break down the history of plastics use in the healthcare sector and what it would take for an organization to phase them out.

Twenty years ago, the healthcare industry was still largely paper-based. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT was created back in April 2004 through an executive order from President George W. Bush. In the past two decades, major health IT policies pushed through by ONC and HHS have helped to move providers to a digital healthcare system that enables more effective data-sharing.

In this week’s episode of “Podnosis,” he chats with Executive Editor Heather Landi about ONC’s achievements over the past 20 years, the agency’s current top priorities, the rapid adoption of AI in healthcare and more.

It is estimated that up to 20% of people globally are neurodivergent. Many neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, have unique sensory needs. To best serve them in healthcare settings, the design of such spaces should ideally engage attention without overwhelming it.

An increasing number of employers are now offering fertility benefits. This is not only a cost-saving for employees but also serves as a way to attract and retain talent.
