Sant Wright pou sipòte objektif sante nasyonal yo kòm yon nouvo chanpyon Healthy People 2030

Written by

Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education dènyèman te deziyen pa yon biwo Depatman Sante ak Sèvis Imen Etazini kòm yon Chanpyon Healthy People 2030.

Biwo federal pou Prevansyon Maladi ak Pwomosyon Sante (ODPHP) te fè rekonesans ofisyèl la e li konfime angajman Sant Wright la pou ankouraje efò nasyon an pou amelyore sante ak byennèt tout moun.

Laura Spadaro

Laura Spadaro, vis-prezidan swen prensipal ak politik sante piblik nan Wright Center, di: “Nou kontan dèske nou rekonèt kòm chanpyon inisyativ Healthy People 2030 ak kad li pou reyalize yon sosyete ki pi an sante nan 2030. “Aktivite antrepriz san bi likratif nou yo an aliyman total ak vizyon ki dèyè kanpay Healthy People la, ki se pou tout moun reyalize tout potansyèl yo pou sante ak byennèt pandan tout lavi yo.”

Inisyativ la, ki mete ajou chak deseni, fikse objektif nasyonal ki baze sou done nan yon seri kategori, tankou kondisyon sante (tankou demans, dyabèt, ak maladi respiratwa), konpòtman sante, ak popilasyon espesyal.

An total, inisyativ la swiv 358 objektif prensipal yo. Yon objektif, pa egzanp, se diminye itilizasyon tabak aktyèl pami popilasyon adilt la soti nan 21.3% a 17.4% oswa pi ba. Patizan objektif sa a remake ke itilizasyon tabak rete kòz prensipal maladi ak lanmò ki ka evite Ozetazini.

“ODPHP kontan dèske l rekonèt Sant Wright la pou travay li fè pou sipòte vizyon Healthy People 2030 la,” te deklare Kontra Amiral Paul Reed, MD, direktè ODPHP. "Se sèlman lè nou kolabore ak patnè nan tout peyi a nou ka reyalize objektif ak objektif jeneral Health People 2030."

Inisyativ moun ki an sante yo te kòmanse an 1979 lè Chirijyen Jeneral Ameriken Julius Richmond te pibliye rapò ki enpòtan an, "Moun ki an sante: Rapò Chirijyen Jeneral la sou Pwomosyon Sante ak Prevansyon Maladi."

Healthy People 2030 se senkyèm iterasyon inisyativ la. Li baze sou konesans ak leson yo aprann pou adrese dènye priyorite sante piblik yo.

Applicants are selected to become Healthy People 2030 Champions if they have a demonstrated interest in and experience with disease prevention, health promotion, health literacy, or well-being.

Lè yo aksepte, chak chanpyon kapab montre yon badj dijital ki make sou sit entènèt li yo ak chanèl medya sosyal yo. Chanpyon yo resevwa tou enfòmasyon, zouti, ak resous pou ede yo ankouraje inisyativ la nan mitan rezo yo.

Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè te akeyi premye klas etidyan asistan doktè nivo metriz ki soti nan pwogram Asistan Doktè Central Coast la nan rezo pratik swen prensipal li yo. Nouvo inisyativ AT Still University of Health Sciences, an patenarya ak Asosyasyon Nasyonal Sant Sante Kominotè, pèmèt elèv yo jwenn konesans ak eksperyans nan domèn nan. Manm klas inogirasyon an, premye ranje apati goch, se Kari Nhi Pham, Lisa Lac, Adjoa Ghansah ak Rachel Aroneo; ak kanpe, Bryan Boyle, MPAS, PA-C, The Wright Center; Gregory Castle, Stefan Howard, Diana Omozee, Tomislav Lojpur ak Angelo Brutico, MPAS, PA-C, Sant Wright la.

Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè dènyèman te akeyi uit elèv nan nivo metriz ki pral pran konesans ak eksperyans nan pratik swen prensipal li yo pandan y ap konplete yon pwogram pou vin asistan doktè.

Elèv yo fè pati premye klas ki enskri nan pwogram Asistan Doktè Central Coast la, yon nouvo inisyativ AT Still University of Health Sciences (ATSU) an patenarya ak Asosyasyon Nasyonal Sant Sante Kominotè ak seleksyon sant sante atravè peyi a.

Patisipan yo nan pwogram 24 mwa yo ale nan kanpis ATSU Santa Maria nan Kalifòni pou yon ane pandan faz pre-klinik yo. Lè sa a, yo antre nan yon faz klinik, ki gen ladan 35 semèn eksperyans pratik klinik sipèvize nan The Wright Center oswa lòt sant sante kominotè patnè.

Dr Linda Thomas-Hemak, prezidan ak Direktè Jeneral Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè, di konsa, “Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè ak Edikasyon Medikal Gradye yo byen plonje ak pasyone yo angaje yo pou yo devlope ak enspire mendèv swen sante entèpwofesyonèl aktyèl ak pwochen nou yo. ak Edikasyon medikal gradye. “Nou kontan anpil pou n anbrase yon wòl elaji nan prepare asistan doktè yo pou yo travay nan anviwònman sant sante ansèyman nan kominote a, kote yo pral sèvi ak pran swen popilasyon istorikman ki pa gen ase sèvis yo.

"Patenarya nou ak College for Healthy Communities ATSU a pral fòse-miltipliye livrezon misyon nou pataje pou amelyore sante ak byennèt Amerik la," li te ajoute. "Fiti gradye nan pwogram nan pral esansyèl pou renouvèlman mendèv kontinyèl founisè kominotè sekirite yo tankou Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè, ki depann de ekip devwe geriseuz ki pran swen, pasyan ak kominote santre." 

Asistan doktè Bryan Boyle ak Angelo Brutico, yo chak se yon ansyen elèv Marywood University ak anplwaye Wright Center, pral bay sipèvizyon pwogram ak lidèchip sou plas kòm direktè rejyonal edikasyon asistan doktè ATSU.

Pwogram Asistan Doktè Central Coast la prepare elèv ki gradye yo pou yo vin “pwofesyonèl ki gen anpil konpetans nan syans medikaman” ki “anpe nan tradisyon osteopatik swen kò, lespri ak lespri pou tout moun”.

Wright Center ak ATSU gen yon tan long dosye nan kolaborasyon avèk siksè pou konsèptualize ak lanse pwogram ki devlope konpasyon, doktè kalifye ak lòt pwofesyonèl swen sante pou ede abòde mank de mendèv nan seksyon riral ak lòt kominote ki pa gen desèvi nan peyi a.

Reprezantan ki soti nan AT Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine nan Arizona (ATSU-SOMA), ki baze nan Mesa, te patisipe nan etap planifikasyon Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education's National Family Medicine Residency - yon pwogram premye nan kalite li. ki mete doktè rezidan yo nan youn nan kat sit fòmasyon patnè nan peyi Etazini

An 2020, kòm yon pati nan yon pwogram separe, Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè a te vin tounen yon sit lame wotasyon pou aspiran doktè ki enskri nan ATSU-SOMA – ki fyè dèske li se "lekòl medikal nan tan kap vini an." Modèl edikasyon medikal inik lekòl la pèmèt elèv yo pase premye ane yo sou lakou lekòl la nan Mesa, Arizona, apre twa ane nan yon sant sante kominotè, kote yo mete aksan sou ankouraje doktè ki gen lide nan kominote a ki pral defann aksè nan swen sante ekitab. . Apeprè 30 elèv ATSU-SOMA nan lekòl medikal yo chita kounye a nan pratik swen prensipal Wright Center nan Nòdès Pennsylvania.

Pwogram sa yo, ansanm ak Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education ki deja egziste pwogram rezidans ak bous, te pozisyone antrepwiz The Wright Center san bi likratif kòm yon vrè founisè rejyonal edikasyon swen sante entèpwofesyonèl.

Kowòt inogirasyon elèv asistan doktè yo pwograme pou konplete wotasyon klinik li nan Wright Center nan mwa jen 2023.

Inisyativ Sant Sante Ansèyman an: Finansman Rezidans, Renouvèlman Alimantasyon, Jenere Lespwa

ekri


Kòm pi gwo Sant Sante Ansèyman nan nasyon an, nou gen privilèj pou fòme doktè ki enterese fè yon diferans otantik nan kominote yo. Gras a travay san pran souf lidè nan Edikasyon Medikal Gradye ak sipò ofisyèl eli nou yo, pwogram Sant Sante Ansèyman an ap resevwa ekspoze nesesè nan nivo nasyonal, pi resamman atravè yon rapò rechèch ki rele. "Rezidan Swen Prensipal nan Sant Sante Ansèyman: Entansyon yo Pratike nan Anviwònman ki pa gen Desèvi Apre Fòmasyon Rezidans".
Otè li yo: Zohray Talib, MD; Mariellen Malloy Jewers, MIA; Julia H. Strasser, MPH; David K. Popiel, MD, MPH; Debora Goetz Goldberg, PhD, MBA, MHA; Candice Chen, MD, MPH; Hayden Kepley, PhD; Fitzhugh Mullan, MD ak Marsha Regenstein, PhD te jwenn fidbak rezidan Teaching Health Center ki soti toupatou nan peyi a. Rezidan Wright Center nou yo te kontribye panse ak eksperyans yo.
Move distribisyon talan founisè a, ansanm ak jaden swen sante difisil yo te mennen zòn ki pa gen desèvi atravè nasyon an san aksè apwopriye a swen sante abòdab. Pwogram Sant Sante Ansèyman yo te reponn apèl pou doktè nan zòn ki pi bezwen yo epi jwe yon wòl enpòtan nan fòmasyon pwochen jenerasyon founisè yo.
Mank doktè a pa fè diskriminasyon. Rejyon atravè peyi a - tou de iben ak riral - yo bezwen swen prensipal. Avèk rezidan Teaching Health Center ki okipe apeprè yon milyon vizit pasyan pandan chak ane, pwogram nan te ede etabli fondasyon ki nesesè pou ankouraje renouvèlman doktè. An reyalite, dènye rapò ane sa a te montre sa 82% nan Teaching Health Center diplome rete nan pratik swen primè, konpare ak 23% nan gradye tradisyonèl Edikasyon Medikal gradye - e sa a se sèlman kòmansman an.
Men senk enfòmasyon rapid sou pwogram Teaching Health Center la:

  • 742 rezidan yo fòme nan 59 pwogram edikasyon medikal gradye Teaching Health Center ki sipòte HRSA.
  • 63% moun ki abite Teaching Health Center espesyalize nan medsin familyal
  • Pwogram Teaching Health Center yo sitiye nan 27 eta ak Distri Columbia
  • Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Programs te resevwa plis pase 100 aplikasyon pou chak pozisyon rezidans
  • Rezidan Teaching Health Center yo pral bay plis pase 1 milyon vizit medikal premye swen an 2017 nan kominote ki pa gen desèvi.

Nou fyè dèske yon gwo kantite gradye Wright Center yo chwazi pou yo pratike nan zòn ki pa sèvi yo. Nan dènye klas nou an gradye nan pwogram Rezidans Medsin Fanmi Nasyonal Sant Ansèyman nou an, 76% te chwazi pratike nan yon zòn ki pa gen desèvi medikal; gen kèk menm te chwazi siyen sou sit patnè a kote yo te konplete fòmasyon yo nan premye etap yo nan rezidans yo.
Kòm yon òganizasyon ki gen yon anplwaye miltidisiplinè nan founisè ak administratè, nou konprann valè a nan yon ekip angaje, divèsifye pandan n ap rete nan pouswit san rete nan misyon nou pou kontinye amelyore swen pasyan yo ak edikasyon nan yon lespri kolaborasyon pou amelyore rezilta, aksè ak abòdab. .
Soutni finansman Sant Sante Teaching se yon etap enpòtan nan direksyon misyon Wright Center a. Finansman Federal Teaching Health Center kounye a fikse nan $116,000 pou chak rezidan, siyifikativman pi ba pase depans fòmasyon yo estime a $157,000. Pou bay pasyan ki pi bezwen sèvis swen sante konplè, pwogram Sant Sante Ansèyman yo bezwen sipò total gouvènman federal la ak defansè pou ede yo rive la. Ekip Wright Center a te fè lobby avèk pasyon pou ekspansyon finansman Teaching Health Center nan non elèv nou yo ak pasyan nou yo ki pi bezwen yo.
Lejislasyon (S. 1754 ak HR 3394 pou re-otorize seksyon 340H Lwa Sèvis Sante Piblik la pou kontinye ankouraje agrandisman, antretyen, ak etablisman pwogram rezidans medikal gradye ki apwouve yo nan sant sante ansèyman ki kalifye yo, ak pou lòt rezon) te resevwa bi- sipò patizan ak gras a efò lobby anpil moun, ap pran traction kote li pi enpòtan. Yon ekstansyon, epi pètèt yon ekspansyon, finansman dirab Sant Sante Ansèyman an kapab yon katalis pou chanjman, yon demonstrasyon enspire yon kolaborasyon repibliken ak demokratik pou kontinye pouswit kadruple Objektif la - rezilta, aksè, abòdab ak lajwa nan pratik - nan Amerik. .

Scholarly paper highlights partnership of Behavioral Health Initiative to combat psychiatrist shortage

ekri

A 2015 white paper published by a physician staffing firm called it a “silent shortage.” In a country gripped by the grim phenomenon dubbed “deaths of despair,” “it” is a severe and under-appreciated shortage of the very people with the skills and knowledge necessary to reverse the trend. Our region, like the rest of the nation, needs psychiatrists.
How bad is the problem? The late Richard Cooper, M.D. of the University of Pennsylvania, a noted national authority on physician supply, distribution and utilization, finds that a population of 100,000 should have 14.7 psychiatrists, or one for every 6,800 people. The counties of northeastern Pennsylvania average about 8.5, according to Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care. Moreover, the few psychiatrists we have must cope with three of the “Top 10” diseases most associated with lost quality of life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “unipolar depressive disorders” are the No. 1 cause of medical disability in the United States. Dementias, including Alzheimer’s, and alcohol and ecstasy disorders come in at No. 3 and No. 4. The escalating opioid crisis is, no doubt, claiming its place as it climbs the rank order.
Despite the suffering and lost years of life caused by (often undiagnosed) behavioral and mental health diseases, we still cling to outdated ideas about psychiatry like, “If people just had more willpower and determination, they’d “snap out of” their depression,” and, “Addiction is a sign of moral weakness, so patients have only themselves to blame.” The healthcare system is fragmented; it is not built on resiliency, but on brokenness. The persistence of these discredited notions about mental health has led to what should be a national wake-up call – for the first time in decades, mortality rates for a certain U.S. demographic (whites aged 45 to 54 – an important demographic in NEPA) rose by half a percent a year since 1998. The cause of these deaths is overwhelmingly attributed to suicide and addiction. No other rich country has experienced anything like these “deaths of despair.” As Angus Deaton, an economist, Nobel Laureate and co-author of the paper which first identified the trend, told the Washington Post, “That means half a million people are dead who should not be dead. That’s about 40 times the Ebola stats. You’re getting up there with HIV-AIDS.”
Although Dr. Deaton’s ground-breaking report was published in 2015, a Community Health Needs Assessment conducted by the Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development in 2012 identified mental and behavioral health challenges, including higher-than-national-average suicide rates, in our region. That’s when Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine convened an advisory group for the school’s Behavioral Health Initiative (BHI). The advisory committee was charged with identifying gaps in access to mental health services in several counties of northeastern Pennsylvania. Market intelligence firm, Open Minds, working on behalf of BHI, concluded that a seven-county region of NEPA would need to increase its number of psychiatrists by 40 percent simply to meet current need. With that data, at the time of its formal launch in 2015, BHI generated a key recommendation: the School of Medicine and The Wright Center should co-create a psychiatry residency program to train new doctors in this desperately needed specialty. All parties humbly recognized a new psychiatry residency could serve as an educational fulcrum for much larger inter-professional workforce development initiatives by leveraging this powerful partnership.
This July, just two years after BHI’s 2015 launch (light speed in academia), we are proud to announce that The Wright Center will welcome four residents to its brand-new, ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) accredited psychiatry residency program. The fact that one of these new psychiatry residents is also a 2017 graduate of Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine makes this accomplishment all the more meaningful. Psychiatry training takes four years, so once all four classes are filled, we will train 16 residents here in Scranton and Wilkes Barre, and graduate four newly-minted psychiatrists per year.
The School of Medicine and The Wright Center have long been partners committed to addressing the specific health needs of our community, with a formal commitment solidified through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in 2015. That’s why we and our BHI partners worked so swiftly and purposefully to establish the psychiatry residency program despite the significant challenges of funding and accreditation. Wide-scale community collaboration, including Scranton Counseling Center’s generosity with the time and the expertise of Sanjay Chandragiri, MD, our pioneering program director, has generated the opportunity for four new doctors to learn how to treat and heal patients struggling with behavioral health issues. In this way, our community is taking an important step toward reducing “deaths of despair” in our region, replacing years lost to disability with years of enhanced health and wellbeing.
