The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast

Why does this example matter? Well, it matters a lot. It sets the bar for others in the delivery of healthcare REALLY, REALLY high.   In fact, Concierge Medicine's obsession with building close, positive relationships with patients is perhaps its greatest driver of its success over the past twenty five years. Every call, every patient interaction, each smile from a staff member, every text message ... represents an opportunity to “wow” someone.   It's an opportunity to turn a one-time Patient into a loyal, repeat Patient. Ensuring future patient retention and more thoughtful, caring interactions between Physician and Patient. That's the mythical creature every Doctor is looking for. It's the secret sauce that makes your practice unique and why people keep coming back.   You've married the Hippocratic Oath with the Golden Rule and guess what, Patients' responded and said "YES! I've been waiting for you to do this!" It's as we say a lot around here at CMT, "It's no longer about being the best Doctor in the world anymore, it's about being the best Doctor FOR the world, FOR your Patients and FOR your local community."   You've suddenly provided a unique amount of attention towards one Patient that you wish you could do for everyone.   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Several states have explored ways to protect consumers from these surprise bills. Gov. Kemp Signs Landmark Healthcare Legislation   July 17, 2020 Atlanta, GA –   Governor Brian P. Kemp today signed several pieces of legislation to ensure a safer and healthier Georgia. Among the bills signed at a ceremony at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital were bills to reduce surprise medical billing (HB 888) and address Georgia's maternal mortality rate by enhancing access to quality and timely care for mothers on Medicaid (HB 1114).   "This is a historic step forward for Georgia when it comes to healthcare, and frankly, it couldn't come at a better time - as our state and country face the greatest public health challenge we have seen in the 21st Century," said Governor Kemp.   "When we began 2020, none of us could have predicted that we would face a pandemic and grapple with unprecedented threats to the lives - and livelihoods - of all Georgians."   "We have faced sobering moments together, but today is a bright spot as we continue to streamline bureaucracy, increase access to care, insist on transparency and fairness, improve health outcomes, and put Georgia families first. I am grateful for the hard work of the General Assembly along with our partners in the medical field, frontline heroes, and local leaders to champion these much-needed reforms as we work to build a safer, stronger Georgia."   HB 888 - Reduction of Suprise Medical Billing: HB 888 is a bi-partisan reform that puts patients ahead of the status quo and provides a fair process for billing that medical providers and insurers can agree on.   HB 1114 - Postpartum Medicaid Extension: HB 1114 provides for an additional four months of Medicaid coverage for mothers on Medicaid, bringing total coverage to six months.   Coupled with other investments, HB 1114 will dramatically improve health outcomes for Georgia mothers. During the ceremony at Wellstar, Governor Kemp also signed the following legislation: HB 521, HB 578, HB 789, HB 932, SB 28, and SB 395.   Contact Director of Communications & Chief Deputy Executive Counsel   Candice Broce candice.broce@georgia.gov Contact Press Secretary Cody Hall cody.hall@georgia.gov   RESOURCES MENTIONED   https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/maps-and-interactives/2020/jul/state-balance-billing-protections https://essentialhospitals.org/policy/four-states-start-2020-new-surprise-billing-laws/ https://www.ncsl.org/research/health/counteracting-surprise-medical-billing.aspx https://gov.georgia.gov/press-releases/2020-07-17/gov-kemp-signs-landmark-healthcare-legislation   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Today we wrestle with a complex, overwhelming subject and very personal material. Mental Health. More specifically, how can Physicians, Concierge Medicine Doctors and families access the right treatment and the best resources in a complex and emotionally charged field of healthcare?   Our guest and good friend today is Arden O'Connor, CEO of the O'Connor Professional Group (www.oconnorpg.com). Arden founded the O’Connor Professional Group to address the needs of families and individuals struggling with an array of behavioral health issues, including addiction, mental health disorders, eating disorders, learning, and other developmental challenges. With several relatives in recovery, Arden is passionate about helping families and individuals navigate the highly fragmented treatment system in a way that creates positive outcomes and allows families to heal.   Arden is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Business School. She remains heavily involved in community activities, as a board member of Winsor School Corporation, Collaboration for Family Flourishing, Massachusetts Association of Mental Health, and Attorneys for Family Held Enterprises. Previously, she served as a board member for the Justice Resource Institute (former chair), Harvard Club of Boston, Victory Programs, C4 Recovery Solutions and Harvard Business School Alumni Association of Boston.   She maintains professional affiliations with the following organizations:   Boston Estate Planning Council and Family Firm Institute. "O’Connor Professional Group is more than a business endeavor for me; it is a mission that I embarked on after my experience accessing resources for a family member in the treatment industry. My youngest brother struggled with addiction for many years, and finding the right treatment program or set of services for him was difficult, confusing, and often overwhelming. It created chaos within our family system and I knew there had to be a better way to manage the process. I founded the O’Connor Professional Group to help families like mine find high-quality resources and develop strong community-based supports, given that transitions often present challenges for individuals with behavioral health issues. With a strong team of experts, vast network of colleagues and continuum of services, we are able to tailor our approach to meet the holistic needs of clients and their support systems."   Resources Mentioned   Office Tel. 617-910-3940 Email: aoconnor@oconnorpg.com Web: www.oconnorpg.com   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Teaching good habits now starts with Doctors teaching parents and kids about masks so we don't teach kids to form bad habits when they're around their friends.   I'm a parent and I'm doing this right now with our kids. But, I think Doctors should take the lead and start having these conversations with parents in the exam rooms now, before we all start school. With school announcements coming our way in many counties around the U.S., the safety of our kids is a top priority.   And for parents ... "It's not IF they're going to be asked to wear a mask, it's a matter of when."So, lets teach our kids know the right way to put them on, keep them on, adjust them, and why they're important and part of our lives right now.    I know there are a lot of mixed opinions on this topic. Regardless of your opinion on the topic, that's not what this story or podcast today is about. This is actually about teaching our kids (of all ages) that if/when they are asked to wear a mask ... that they wear it correctly. This education should start with Parents and Doctors. These are important conversations and opportunities Doctors can and should be having right now in the summer months with Patients who are parents and might be bringing their kids with them to your office.   As schools move in various parts of our world towards in-person, classroom teaching ... the question isn't "If they are going to be asked [or in some places, required] to wear a mask ... but when." We should teach them now before they learn from their friends some bad habits. Kids, especially teenagers have not provided great examples of social distancing. As parents we can lovingly encourage them to do the right thing ... but oftentimes, peers set the example despite our best efforts.   We all know that teens and middle school age kids can develop bad habits very quick. So teaching them where to touch a mask, pull it down or up if it happens to slip is important. Doctors can start these conversations. Many already have. Doctors can talk and teach parents the right way to do mask hygiene, mask up and those little things parents can in turn teach their kids. You might also want to be unaware of the fact that for younger kids, elementary age and younger, they're scared of masks.   It's called "Maskophobia". Yes, it's a real thing. This is a normal fear for children according to Roberto Olivardia, from Harvard Medical School. "Children don’t always understand that a person is beneath the mask, so help introduce masks slowly in a comfortable setting."   Teaching our kids (I have 3 by the way) to do this right now during the summer months and before they return to school is important to keep our kids safe, our families healthy and our friends/community safe too. So, regardless of how you feel about the topic, I hope you understand that a Doctor can provide invaluable insight into this topic. They can help teach parents and our kids some great habits now about wearing masks, how to do it, answer and invite those seemingly silly questions and remember ...   "It's not if they're going to wear a mask someday, it's about when they will be asked to wear one ..." that we want to prepare our kids the right way before bad habits set in.   Here are some additional helpful/educational resources FOR DOCTORS and PARENTS to aid in the education and discussion about masks, fear and safety.   HELPFUL RESOURCES   https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/coronavirus-masks.html https://www.drdaycare.com/wearing-a-face-mask-tips-to-teach-children/ https://www.superhealthykids.com/parenting/at-home-flexible-daily-schedule-for-kids/   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.
