You know as well as I do that often times in the "practice" of medicine, *certainty* and *clarity* … especially about the odds of recovery and/or treatment just isn't possible. You do your best to be data driven and scientific, but on many occasions, the words you say are … "We'll just wait and see …" and that's the only certainty and clarity you can provide and is simply the best answer you can give. You're putting yourself in an awkward position. You're essentially 'putting yourself out there' as some would say. But, when certainty is not an option, you can still offer them the next best thing. © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC. ("CMT") All rights reserved.

Today our special guest and guest presenter on the topic of "How to WOW Your Patients Through Interior Design" is Mitra Silva, CEO and Founder of Simour Design (www.simourdesign.com). "As a leader in your field, healing is not only your passion, but your purpose," says Silva. "Not only should your medical office and space be beautiful, but it should be healing for you, your patients, and your staff. Our design goes beyond beauty to provide comfort, functionality, and flow while representing your brand story. This is how we create spaces that are truly healing space." REQUEST THE BONUS, email "welcome@simourdesign.com" Prior to founding Simour Interior Design, I spent years working at HLW, an award-winning design company. As a member of their design team, I was involved in design development for Walt Disney®, ESPN®, HBO®, Intuit®, and Equinox®. Since then, I have worked independently on upscale hospitality, commercial and residential projects. But, at my core, I felt like something was not right. The projects were just no longer fulfilling to me. I wanted passion. I wanted to make a difference in the world. That's when my own experience as a patient led me to focus on design for the healthcare industry. Time after time, I found myself in medical and dental offices that were dreary or poorly lit or in disrepair. Instead of a comforting space, I was often in rooms that made me anxious or uncomfortable. This was how my vision began, as a patient. I believe that the proper design can create a flow that positively influences productivity and heals each person who interacts in that space. Simour Design is an interior design firm specializing in healthcare interior design. Our designs incorporate beauty and provide comfort, functionality, and flow while representing your brand story.

It's been said that 'September is the new January!' It's a time when families, individuals, co-workers and more than likely your Patients set new goals to accomplish before the holiday's and the New Year. We've said quite often over the years that 'Five words from a Doctor ... mean more than fifty words about you.' And when it comes to our Doctor, we should always lean-in, listen and head their advice. So what if your Doctor sent you a friendly letter, a little reminder saying something like "Hey, if you want to sleep peacefully at night ... check this 'to-do item' off your list. Your loved ones will thank you for it!" Whether you are single, married, have children or not, everyone should prepare for their future to ensure it remains with your family. Sadly, in our communities across the U.S. right now, more than 6/10 of the people [e.g. your Patients] probably have no clue where important documents are or have drafted updated healthcare POAs, living wills, or written a will at all. As their Doctor and trusted guide in all things healthcare, you can help your patients today, tomorrow and in the next year ... by reminding them to put this on their "to-do list." I know that if I got a friendly reminder on my Doctor's letterhead wishing me well but also reminding me that I should have these documents updated or drafted and signed, I'd pay attention. We call it around here ... a "Legacy Letter." And it's as simple as this. If something happened to you tomorrow, how prepared is your loved one or spouse to cope and deal with the financial, banking, estate, insurance policies, etc., in the event of your untimely departure. I know, no one wants to bring up these issues and talk about death. And, if you think that's what you're doing, you're missing the point. You're not doing this for them. You're job is to simply remind them that "Hey, if you want to sleep peacefully at night ... check this 'to-do item' off your list. Your loved ones will thank you for it!" And research is proving this to be true. Reuters Health said recently that only 37 percent of Americans have advanced directives for end-of-life care if they become seriously ill or unable to make health care decisions, according to a new analysis of recent research. Caring.com states that While less than 25% of people surveyed have a will, 60% say that they think having a will is important. And while more than half of people recognize the importance of wills, our data shows that fewer people are thinking about estate planning than in 2019. They also cited these stats: The number of older and middle-aged adults with estate planning documents dropped by 20% and 25% since 2019, respectively. The number of adult Americans that have a will or another type of estate planning document decreased by nearly 25% since 2017. The idea of a "Legacy Drawer" is not new. However, as a trusted guide, healthcare navigator and local community Physician expert on all things health and wellness related ... if you want to keep your Patients sleeping well at night and prepared for their future, simply reminding them each September or every January might be a good idea! You might even find that when the Patient/person walks into your exam room at their next appointment ... they'll thank you for the helpful reminder. And that is priceless!

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. ("CMT") All rights reserved.

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.

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."
