SSH
 Roughly six days after I was given the opportunity to join the SSH staff, I attended IMSH 2019 in San Antonio.
I lost track of how many times if I was “hanging in there?” The good news was and is I didn’t feel overwhelmed at all. In fact, I only felt welcomed by attendees, leadership, and other SSH staff. You all made my dive into the deep end of the pool a great one!
Now, though, it’s time to work.

Disruptive innovation — that's a word that is thrown around a lot these days. And the established notion is that it squarely is in the territory of novel startups that are taking on entrenched healthcare interests — be it big pharma, the insurance industry or large hospitals.
And yet, health systems are not exactly sitting on their hands either. So, when you have a population of patients to care for and providers whose problems need solving, how do you innovate? More importantly, how are health systems contemplating creativity?

Contemporary teaching and learning pedagogy commands interprofessional collaboration among allied professions such as nursing and social work, two professions that have a natural inclination to partner in the workforce. Nursing and social work students participated in a structured simulated learning experience where they demonstrated their respective professional practice skills in a supported learning environment while working collaboratively to assess one of two patient types: high-fidelity or simulated.

In order to navigate future uses of artificial intelligence in healthcare, providers and policymakers must address education, skills development and workplace culture, a new report from Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program states. The report authors said that in contrast to early predictions about automation, AI and the workforce, projections about the future of technology seem to view these tools as both beneficial and disruptive.

Wanting to learn more Alzheimer’s and teach the community about the disease, several students at Hardin County Schools’ Early College and Career Center created a simulation. The simulation involved about 75 students putting on gloves filled with popcorn kernels to simulate the loss of feeling Alzheimer’s disease patients have in their hands. Students also used Oculus virtual reality goggles to simulate a day in the life of someone with Alzheimer’s.

Transformation of care teaching is often didactic and conceptual instead of practical and operational. Clinical environments, slow to transform, limit student exposure to key experiences that characterize transformed care. We describe the design and implementation of TEAM Clinic (Teach students, Empower patients, Act collaboratively, Meet health goals) — an early clinical learning experience to address this gap.

Simi Valley Acorn
Five-year-old Johnny showed up at Adventist Health Simi Valley with chills, a fever and muscle aches and pains. His worried parents looked on as nurses assessed the child, trying to figure out what might be ailing him. While treating the little boy, another patient checked in with similar symptoms, this time an elderly man who fell while trying to help his sick wife. His wife had complaints of cold-like symptoms. As the hospital staff worked to figure out what was going on, news of Johnny's death came in. What now? Was staff prepared for more patients? What caused the symptoms that killed Johnny and what was needed to treat others? This was the scenario facing Simi hospital employees recently during a two-hour disaster drill involving county public health officials, county animal control, first responders, area hospitals and the medical examiner.

The medical community is a machine, a careful system composed of key components, all working together in delicate unity and balance. When all these components move at once, the medical machine can operate at its greatest efficiency. This concept is the fuel powering the College of Health Science Interprofessional Education (IPE) Simulation Event, which is an elaborate experience placing three majors from the Health Sciences together in a simulation, designed to both test and strengthen the professional communication ties of the medical science world.

When the patient started coughing, perioperative educator Alicia Jablonsky began her customary procedures. "How are you feeling?" she asked the woman on the operating table. When the woman could only moan in response, Jablonsky rushed to administer an IV and then the simulation concluded. This quick but real-life scenario took was a demonstration at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital's ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new simulated operating room.

In ten years, computers will be able to propose the most suitable cancer treatment for you. The idea is to simulate how all possible combinations of existing cancer treatments will work on your particular tumor. Researchers at the University of Oslo are now developing a computer program that can help oncologists find the best personalized treatment for each patient. The hope is to be able to cure far more patients.

The U.S. Air Force is working with sister services to study a virtual training platform called Crowd-Sourced Assessment of Technical Skills, or C-SATS. C-SATS provides specialized training for surgeons to further improve their specialized skills. According to Maj. Joshua Tyler, director of robotics at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, C-SATS lets surgeons receive virtual feedback on an objective, third party platform. This unbiased feedback helps improve their skills.

Every stakeholder in the healthcare ecosystem desires the best possible care outcomes. Patients want access to the most qualified, experienced providers; providers want the highest quality care for their patients and the best possible treatment outcome; and payers want fiscally responsible service provision — a reasonably shared paradigm, albeit hard to sustain. So what happens in a disaster? Is there a way to keep the framework intact?
