A LIST OF KEY INFORMANTS IS INCLUDED IN APPENDIX A OF THE CHNA REPORT THAT IS POSTED ON BID NEEDHAM'S WEBSITE. THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE CHOSEN TO AMASS A REPRESENTATIVE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY TO PROVIDE INSIGHT ON THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES IN BID NEEDHAM'S CBSA. INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED VIRTUALLY USING A STANDARD INTERVIEW GUIDE. INTERVIEWS FOCUSED ON IDENTIFYING THE BIGGEST HEALTH-RELATED CONCERNS/ISSUES, AS WELL AS THE BARRIERS AND/OR CHALLENGES FOR ACCESSING RESOURCES AND SERVICES AMONG THOSE THEY SERVE AND/OR THOSE LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING POSSIBLE STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS. |
| COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS | FOCUS GROUPS AND COMMUNITY FORUMS (SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5)BID NEEDHAM CONDUCTED FOUR COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS AND HELD TWO COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSIONS THAT ENGAGED 100 RESIDENTS IN BID NEEDHAM'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS SERVICE AREA (CBSA) TO GATHER CRITICAL COMMUNITY INPUT FROM COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS. BID NEEDHAM HAS BEEN INTENTIONAL IN ENSURING THAT VARIED EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVES, REFLECTIVE OF BID NEEDHAM'S CBSA AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, WERE SHARED THROUGHOUT THE CHNA AND IS PROCESS. TO REACH A BROAD RANGE OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ALL COMMUNITY SURVEYS, FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH A FOCUS ON COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVENESS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SURVEY WAS ADMINISTERED ONLINE AND VIA HARD COPY IN TWELVE LANGUAGES. FURTHERMORE, EXTENSIVE OUTREACH WAS CONDUCTED VIA SOCIAL MEDIA, INSTITUTIONAL NEWSLETTERS, EMAILS TO LARGE NETWORKS, PUBLIC LIBRARIES, COMMUNITY EVENTS AND HOUSING AUTHORITIES TO HELP ENSURE DIVERSE REPRESENTATION IN THE CHNA. THE BID NEEDHAM COMMUNITY BENEFITS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CBAC) WAS ALSO INTEGRALLY INVOLVED IN PROVIDING INPUT ON COMMUNITY NEEDS AND PRIORITIZING THE LEADING HEALTH ISSUES. THE CBAC MET FIVE TIMES DURING THE COURSE OF THE ASSESSMENT. THEY PROVIDED INPUT REGARDING THE CHNA OVERALL AND GUIDED THE PRIORITIZATION AND PLANNING PHASE, CONDUCTING OUTREACH TO COMMUNITY VOICES THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN LEFT OUT OF SIMILAR PROCESSES. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS-REVIEWING RESULTS AND COMPILING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY DOCUMENTSAS NOTED ABOVE, THE CHNA PROCESS WAS DIVIDED INTO THREE PHASES. THE FINAL PHASE, PHASE III, INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING STEPS: -REVIEW OF THE ASSESSMENT'S MAJOR FINDINGS WITH THE BID NEEDHAM COMMUNITY BENEFITS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CBAC) AND HELD A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY FORUM PRESENTING RESULTS.-IDENTIFY BID NEEDHAM'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PRIORITY COHORTS, GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES.-ANALYZE BID NEEDHAM'S EXISTING COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES WHICH WERE INFORMED BY THE 2019 CHNA AND SUBSEQUENT 2020 2022 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY THAT WERE COMPLETED BY BID NEEDHAM DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (TAX YEAR 2018).-DETERMINE IF THE RANGE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES ESTABLISHED DURING THE PREVIOUS CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY PROCESS NEEDED TO BE AUGMENTED OR CHANGED TO RESPOND TO THE ASSESSMENT COMPLETED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 (TAX YEAR 2021).KEY FINDINGSTHE KEY PRIORITY COHORTS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA CONDUCTED DURING THE PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, WERE:-YOUTH-LOW-RESOURCED POPULATIONS-OLDER ADULTS-RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE POPULATIONSBID NEEDHAM'S CHNA RESULTED IN KEY FINDINGS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: -EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CARE: INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED A NUMBER OF BARRIERS TO ACCESSING AND NAVIGATING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. MANY OF THESE BARRIERS WERE AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL, MEANING THAT THE ISSUES STEM FROM THE WAY IN WHICH THE SYSTEM DOES OR DOES NOT FUNCTION. SYSTEM LEVEL ISSUES INCLUDED PROVIDERS NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS, LONG WAIT LISTS, AND AN INHERENTLY COMPLICATED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT IS DIFFICULT FOR MANY TO NAVIGATE. THERE WERE ALSO INDIVIDUAL LEVEL BARRIERS TO ACCESS AND NAVIGATION. INDIVIDUALS MAY BE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED, WHICH MAY LEAD THEM TO FOREGO OR DELAY CARE. INDIVIDUALS MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE LANGUAGE OR CULTURAL BARRIERS - RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THESE BARRIERS CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTH DISPARITIES, MISTRUST BETWEEN PROVIDERS AND PATIENTS, INEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION, AND ISSUES OF PATIENT SAFETY. -SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (E.G., ECONOMIC STABILITY, EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY/SOCIAL CONTEXT) CONTINUE TO HAVE A MASSIVE IMPACT ON MANY SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION. THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE THE CONDITIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE BORN, LIVE, LEARN, WORK, PLAY, WORSHIP, AND AGE THAT AFFECT A WIDE RANGE OF HEALTH, FUNCTIONING, AND QUALITY-OF-LIFE OUTCOMES AND RISKS. THESE CONDITIONS INFLUENCE AND DEFINE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MANY SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION IN THE CBSA. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SUSTAINED SUCCESS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND ADDRESSING HEALTH DISPARITIES RELIES ON ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH THAT LEAD TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES AND DRIVE HEALTH INEQUITIES. THE ASSESSMENT GATHERED A RANGE OF INFORMATION RELATED TO ECONOMIC INSECURITY, EDUCATION, FOOD INSECURITY, ACCESS TO CARE/NAVIGATION ISSUES, AND OTHER IMPORTANT SOCIAL FACTORS. THERE IS LIMITED QUANTITATIVE DATA IN THE AREA OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. DESPITE THIS, INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS, SURVEY, AND LISTENING SESSIONS SUGGESTED THAT THESE ISSUES HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON HEALTH STATUS AND ACCESS TO CARE IN THE REGION - ESPECIALLY ISSUES RELATED TO HOUSING, FOOD SECURITY/NUTRITION, AND ECONOMIC STABILITY. -HIGH RATES OF SUBSTANCE USE (E.G., ALCOHOL, PRESCRIPTION DRUG/OPIOIDS, MARIJUANA) AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES (E.G., DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS). ANXIETY, CHRONIC STRESS, DEPRESSION, AND SOCIAL ISOLATION WERE LEADING COMMUNITY HEALTH CONCERNS. THE ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED SPECIFIC CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS, THE MENTAL HEALTH IMPACTS OF RACISM, DISCRIMINATION, AND TRAUMA, AND SOCIAL ISOLATION AMONG OLDER ADULTS. THESE DIFFICULTIES WERE EXACERBATED BY COVID-19. IN ADDITION TO THE OVERALL BURDEN AND PREVALENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, RESIDENTS IDENTIFIED A NEED FOR MORE PROVIDERS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS, ESPECIALLY INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT TREATMENT, CHILD PSYCHIATRISTS, PEER SUPPORT GROUPS, AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. SUBSTANCE USE CONTINUED TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE CBSA; THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC CONTINUED TO BE AN AREA OF FOCUS AND CONCERN, AND THERE WAS RECOGNITION OF THE LINKS AND IMPACTS ON OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH, HOUSING, AND HOMELESSNESS. INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN THE ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED STIGMA AS A BARRIER TO TREATMENT AND REPORTED A NEED FOR PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS COMMON CO-OCCURRING ISSUES (E.G., MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, HOMELESSNESS). -HIGH RATES OF CHRONIC AND ACUTE PHYSICAL HEALTH CONDITIONS (E.G., HEART DISEASE, HYPERTENSION, CANCER, AND ASTHMA). CHRONIC CONDITIONS SUCH AS CANCER, DIABETES, CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE, STROKE, AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE CONTRIBUTE TO 56% OF ALL MORTALITY IN THE COMMONWEALTH AND OVER 53% OF ALL HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURES ($30.9 BILLION A YEAR). PERHAPS MOST SIGNIFICANTLY, CHRONIC DISEASES ARE LARGELY PREVENTABLE DESPITE THEIR HIGH PREVALENCE AND DRAMATIC IMPACT ON INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETY. THE CHNA THAT WAS COMPLETED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, AND THE ASSOCIATED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ADOPTED FROM THIS PROCESS WERE DESIGNED TO INFORM BID NEEDHAM'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS INITIATIVES DURING THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023, SEPTEMBER 30, 2024, AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2025. |

BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES BID NEEDHAM OPERATES AND SUPPORTS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES AMONG THEIR FOCUS COHORTS THROUGHOUT THEIR PRIORITY NEIGHBORHOODS.BID NEEDHAM SERVES AND COLLABORATES WITH ALL SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION. HOWEVER, IN RECOGNITION OF ITS LONG-STANDING TIES TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AND THE HEALTH DISPARITIES THAT EXIST IN THESE COMMUNITIES, BID NEEDHAM FOCUSES ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS EFFORTS ON IMPROVING THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE LOW-INCOME AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS LIVING IN DEDHAM, NEEDHAM, NORWOOD AND WESTWOOD. BID NEEDHAM CURRENTLY SUPPORTS MANY EDUCATIONAL, OUTREACH, COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, AND HEALTH SYSTEM STRENGTHENING INITIATIVES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. IN SO DOING, THE HOSPITAL COLLABORATES WITH MANY LOCAL LEADING HEALTHCARE, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. BID NEEDHAM WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN THE AREA, AS WELL AS LOCAL COUNCILS ON AGING, TO ADDRESS SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION, MENTAL HEALTH, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, FOOD ACCESS, AND TRANSPORTATION. THE HOSPITAL ALSO SUPPORTS LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO PREVENT AND MANAGE CHRONIC DISEASE, SUCH AS THE CHARLES RIVER YMCA. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES FUNDING TO AND PROGRAMMING WITH MENTAL HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY CARE. BID NEEDHAM ALSO SUPPORTS PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS, INCLUDING THE DEDHAM FOOD PANTRY, NEEDHAM COMMUNITY FARM AND NEIGHBOR BRIGADE. BID NEEDHAM IS ALSO AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN SEVERAL LOCAL COALITIONS AND COMMITTEES, INCLUDING THE NEEDHAM COMMUNITY CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM (CCIT), NEEDHAM RESILIENCE NETWORK, THE NEEDHAM ONLINE SAFETY TASKFORCE, THE NEEDHAM YOUTH RESOURCE NETWORK, AND THE NEEDHAM LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE. JOINING WITH SUCH GRASS-ROOTS COMMUNITY GROUPS, PUBLIC HEALTH AND FIRST RESPONDERS, BID NEEDHAM STRIVES TO CREATE A VISION FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND PREPAREDNESS, AND TO ADDRESS ON-GOING CRISES FOR RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY. ALSO IMPORTANT ARE PARTNERSHIPS TO ADDRESS SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH, INCLUDING BID NEEDHAM'S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE SUBSTANCE PREVENTION ALLIANCE OF NEEDHAM (SPAN).

BID NEEDHAM IS UNABLE TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS DUE TO LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES AS BID NEEDHAM'S CBAC AND SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM DECIDED THAT THESE ISSUES WERE OUTSIDE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SPHERE OF INFLUENCE AND INVESTMENTS IN OTHER AREAS WERE BOTH MORE FEASIBLE AND LIKELY TO HAVE GREATER IMPACT.AS NOTED IN DETAIL ABOVE, BID NEEDHAM'S PRIMARY TOOL FOR ASSESSING THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED IS THROUGH THE CHNA AND IS (SCHEDULE H PART VI QUESTION 2). |

THE COSTS OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS EXCEEDED REVENUE BY $1,143,766. OF THESE AMOUNTS, REVENUE OF $32,376,737 IS RELATED TO THE PROVISION OF ORTHOPEDICS, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, AND ENDOCRINE SERVICES AND IS INCLUDED ON THIS SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G, AS PART OF SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES BECAUSE THE COST OF THOSE SERVICES EXCEEDED REVENUES BY $3,319,784. IN RESPONSE TO THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8, ALTHOUGH BID NEEDHAM CONSIDERS THE PROVISION OF CLINICAL CARE TO ALL MEDICARE PATIENTS AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, THE REMAINING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS IS NOT QUANTIFIED ON PAGE 1 OF THE SCHEDULE H. INSTEAD, PER THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHEDULE H, BID NEEDHAM HAS SEPARATELY REPORTED THIS AMOUNT IN SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 7, AS REQUIRED.

| DETAIL ON RESEARCH EFFORTS WHICH WERE UNDERTAKEN AT BIDMC DURING THE FISCAL | PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING ARE BELOW. 1. A POTENTIAL NEW WEAPON IN THE WAR AGAINST SUPERBUGS"THE END OF MODERN MEDICINE AS WE KNOW IT." THAT'S HOW THE THEN-DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION CHARACTERIZED THE CREEPING PROBLEM OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN 2012. WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS TO MANAGE COMMON BACTERIAL INFECTIONS, SMALL INJURIES AND MINOR INFECTIONS BECOME POTENTIALLY FATAL ENCOUNTERS. IN 2019, MORE THAN 2.8 MILLION ANTIMICROBIAL-RESISTANT INFECTIONS OCCURRED IN THE UNITED STATES, AND MORE THAN 35,000 PEOPLE DIED AS A RESULT, ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC). A REPORT FROM THE UNITED NATIONS ISSUED EARLIER THIS YEAR WARNED THAT NUMBER COULD RISE TO TEN MILLION GLOBAL DEATHS ANNUALLY IF NOTHING IS DONE TO COMBAT ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE.FOR NEARLY 25 YEARS, JAMES KIRBY, MD, DIRECTOR OF THE CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY LABORATORY AT BIDMC, HAS WORKED TO ADVANCE THE FIGHT AGAINST INFECTIOUS DISEASES BY FINDING AND DEVELOPING NEW, POTENT ANTIMICROBIALS, AND BY BETTER UNDERSTANDING HOW DISEASE-CAUSING BACTERIA MAKE US SICK. IN A RECENT PAPER PUBLISHED IN PLOS BIOLOGY, KIRBY AND COLLEAGUES INVESTIGATED A NATURALLY OCCURRING ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT DISCOVERED MORE THAN 80 YEARS AGO. USING LEADING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY, KIRBY'S TEAM DEMONSTRATED THAT CHEMICAL VARIANTS OF THE ANTIBIOTIC, CALLED STREPTOTHRICINS, SHOWED POTENCY AGAINST SEVERAL CONTEMPORARY DRUG-RESISTANT STRAINS OF BACTERIA. WHAT'S MORE, THEY SHOWED THE ANTIBIOTIC HAD A THERAPEUTIC EFFECT IN AN ANIMAL MODEL AT NON-TOXIC CONCENTRATIONS."A SINGLE DOSE CLEARED THIS ORGANISM FROM AN INFECTED ANIMAL MODEL WHILE AVOIDING ANY TOXICITY," KIRBY SAID. "IT WAS REALLY REMARKABLE." THE RESEARCHERS ALSO REVEALED THE UNIQUE MECHANISM BY WHICH STREPTOTHRICIN FIGHTS OFF BACTERIAL INFECTIONS. "WE SHOWED THAT NOURSEOTHRICIN ACTS IN A COMPLETELY NEW WAY COMPARED TO ANY OTHER TYPE OF ANTIBIOTIC, BY INHIBITING THE ABILITY OF THE ORGANISM TO PRODUCE PROTEINS IN A VERY SNEAKY WAY," KIRBY EXPLAINED. "WHEN A CELL MAKES PROTEINS, IT MAKES THEM OFF A BLUEPRINT THAT TELLS THE CELL WHAT AMINO ACIDS TO LINK TOGETHER TO BUILD THE PROTEIN. OUR STUDY HELPS EXPLAIN HOW THIS ANTIBIOTIC CONFUSES THE MACHINERY SO THAT THE MESSAGE IS READ INCORRECTLY, AND IT STARTS TO PUT TOGETHER GIBBERISH. ESSENTIALLY THE BACTERIAL CELL GETS POISONED BECAUSE IT'S PRODUCING JUNK."STREPTOTHRICIN'S UNIQUE ACTION IS VERY POWERFUL BECAUSE IT MEANS BACTERIA ARE CURRENTLY HELPLESS AGAINST IT; THAT IS, THERE'S NO ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVOIR OF POTENTIAL RESISTANCE MECHANISMS, KIRBY SAID. THAT GIVES HUMANITY MORE TIME BEFORE PATHOGENS EVOLVE DEFENSE MECHANISMS AGAINST THIS BRAND-NEW CLASS OF ANTIBIOTIC."WE'RE STILL IN THE VERY EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT, BUT I THINK WE'VE VALIDATED THAT THIS IS A COMPOUND THAT'S WORTH INVESTING IN FURTHER STUDIES TO FIND EVEN BETTER VARIANTS THAT EVENTUALLY WILL MEET THE PROPERTIES OF A HUMAN THERAPEUTIC," KIRBY SAID. JANUARY 20, 20202. SEVERE COVID-19 LINKED WITH MOLECULAR SIGNATURES OF BRAIN AGING, RESEARCHERS FINDSCIENTISTS AT BIDMC FOUND THAT GENE USAGE IN THE BRAINS OF PATIENTS WITH COVID-19 IS SIMILAR TO THOSE OBSERVED IN AGING BRAINS. USING A MOLECULAR PROFILING TECHNIQUE CALLED RNA SEQUENCING TO MEASURE THE LEVELS OF EVERY GENE EXPRESSED IN A PARTICULAR TISSUE SAMPLE, THE SCIENTISTS ASSESSED CHANGES IN GENE EXPRESSION PROFILES IN THE BRAINS OF COVID-19 PATIENTS AND COMPARED THEM TO THOSE CHANGES OBSERVED IN THE BRAINS OF UNINFECTED INDIVIDUALS. THE TEAM'S ANALYSIS, PUBLISHED IN NATURE AGING, SUGGESTED THAT MANY BIOLOGICAL PATHWAYS THAT CHANGE WITH NATURAL AGING IN THE BRAIN ALSO CHANGED IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE COVID-19.CO-FIRST AND CO-CORRESPONDING AUTHOR MARIA MAVRIKAKI, PHD, AN INSTRUCTOR OF PATHOLOGY AT BIDMC, AND COLLEAGUES ANALYZED A TOTAL OF 54 POSTMORTEM HUMAN FRONTAL CORTEX TISSUE SAMPLES FROM ADULTS 22 TO 85 YEARS OLD. "WE OBSERVED THAT GENE EXPRESSION IN THE BRAIN TISSUE OF PATIENTS WHO DIED OF COVID-19 CLOSELY RESEMBLED THAT OF UNINFECTED INDIVIDUALS 71 YEARS OLD OR OLDER," SAID CO-FIRST AUTHOR JONATHAN LEE, PHD, A POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW AT BIDMC."GIVEN THESE FINDINGS, WE ADVOCATE FOR NEUROLOGICAL FOLLOW-UP OF RECOVERED COVID-19 PATIENTS," SAID SENIOR AND CO-CORRESPONDING AUTHOR FRANK SLACK, PHD, DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE FOR RNA MEDICINE AT BIDMC AND THE SHIELDS WARREN MALLINCKRODT PROFESSOR OF MEDICAL RESEARCH AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. "WE ALSO EMPHASIZE THE POTENTIAL CLINICAL VALUE IN MODIFYING THE FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RISK OF DEMENTIA SUCH AS CONTROLLING WEIGHT AND REDUCING EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION TO REDUCE THE RISK OR DELAY THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGING-RELATED NEUROLOGICAL PATHOLOGIES AND COGNITIVE DECLINE."BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDERLYING BRAIN AGING AND COGNITIVE DECLINE IN COVID-19 COULD LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL THERAPEUTICS TO ADDRESS COGNITIVE DECLINE OBSERVED IN COVID-19 PATIENTS. THE TEAM IS NOW TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DRIVES THE AGING-LIKE EFFECTS IN THE BRAINS OF COVID-19 PATIENTS.3. RESEARCH SUGGESTS POLITICAL EVENTS IMPACT SLEEP: STUDY FINDS ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ELECTIONS AND SLEEP, ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AND OVERALL PUBLIC MOODIN A PAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATIONAL SLEEP FOUNDATION'S JOURNAL SLEEP HEALTH, RESEARCHERS AT BIDMC SHOWED THAT MAJOR SOCIOPOLITICAL EVENTS CAN HAVE GLOBAL IMPACTS ON SLEEP THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PUBLIC'S COLLECTIVE MOOD, WELL-BEING, AND ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION. AS PART OF A LARGER STUDY EXPLORING THE SLEEP AND PSYCHOLOGICAL REPERCUSSIONS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE TEAM SURVEYED 437 PARTICIPANTS IN THE UNITED STATES AND 106 INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS DAILY BETWEEN OCTOBER 113, 2020 (BEFORE THE ELECTION) AND OCTOBER 30NOVEMBER 12, 2020 (DAYS SURROUNDING THE NOVEMBER 3 U.S. ELECTION). WITH REGARD TO SLEEP, BOTH U.S. AND NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS REPORTED LOSING SLEEP IN THE RUN-UP TO THE ELECTION; HOWEVER, U.S. RESPONDENTS HAD SIGNIFICANTLY LESS TIME IN BED IN THE DAYS AROUND THE ELECTION. ON ELECTION NIGHT ITSELF, U.S. PARTICIPANTS REPORTED WAKING UP FREQUENTLY DURING THE NIGHT AND EXPERIENCING POORER SLEEP EFFICIENCY.U.S. PARTICIPANTS WHO EVER REPORTED DRINKING ALCOHOL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED CONSUMPTION ON THREE DAYS DURING THE ASSESSMENT PERIOD: HALLOWEEN, ELECTION DAY AND THE DAY THE ELECTION WAS CALLED BY MORE MEDIA OUTLETS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7. AMONG NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS, THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION OVER THE NOVEMBER ASSESSMENT PERIOD.WHEN THE SCIENTISTS LOOKED AT HOW THESE CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR MAY HAVE AFFECTED MOOD AND WELL-BEING OF U.S PARTICIPANTS, THEY FOUND SIGNIFICANT LINKS BETWEEN SLEEP AND DRINKING, STRESS, NEGATIVE MOOD, AND DEPRESSION."THIS IS THE FIRST STUDY TO FIND THAT THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED CHANGES IN ELECTION DAY PUBLIC MOOD AND SLEEP THE NIGHT OF THE ELECTION," SAID CORRESPONDING AUTHOR TONY CUNNINGHAM, PHD, DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR SLEEP AND COGNITION AT BIDMC. "MOREOVER, IT IS NOT JUST THAT ELECTIONS MAY INFLUENCE SLEEP, BUT EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT SLEEP MAY INFLUENCE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN ELECTIONS AS WELL. THUS, IF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SLEEP AND ELECTIONS IS ALSO BIDIRECTIONAL, IT WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR FUTURE RESEARCH TO DETERMINE HOW PUBLIC MOOD AND STRESS EFFECTS ON SLEEP LEADING UP TO AN ELECTION MAY EFFECT OR EVEN ALTER ITS OUTCOME." |

TARGETED CARE REVERSES RACIAL/ETHNIC HEALTH DISPARITIES | IN COLON CANCER SCREENING, RESEARCHERS FINDIN A RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW OF PATIENTS WHO HAD A RECENT PRIMARY CARE VISIT IN A WELL-RESOURCED SAFETY-NET HEALTH SYSTEM SERVING A DIVERSE POPULATION, A TEAM LED BY RESEARCHERS AT BIDMC AIMED TO BETTER DEFINE THE LINKS BETWEEN PATIENTS' SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS AND COLORECTAL SCREENING. EVALUATING SELF-REPORTED FACTORS INCLUDING RACE, ETHNICITY, PREFERRED LANGUAGE, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE STATUS, THE TEAM'S MORE GRANULAR ASSESSMENT PROVIDED FINDINGS THAT CONTRADICT TRADITIONAL U.S. HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES, WITH HISPANIC AND SPANISH-SPEAKING PATIENTS SCREENING AT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATES THAN WHITE AND ENGLISH-SPEAKING PATIENTS. THE COUNTERINTUITIVE FINDINGS, PUBLISHED IN PREVENTIVE MEDICINE, DEMONSTRATE THAT A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PROVIDE EQUAL ACCESS TO SCREENING FOR UNDERSERVED PATIENTS CAN ADDRESS THE DISPARITIES COMMONLY SEEN IN CANCER SCREENING."INVESTMENT INTO A MULTICULTURAL WORKFORCE AND OUTREACH EFFORTS TO UNDERSERVED PATIENTS MAY COUNTERACT SOME OF THE IMPLICIT OR EXPLICIT BIASES SEEN ON HEALTH SYSTEMS THAT HAVE LED TO TRADITIONAL RACIAL/ETHNIC DISPARITIES," SAID SENIOR AUTHOR HEIDI J. RAYALA, MD, PHD, UROLOGIST AT BIDMC. "OUR STUDY SHOWED DIFFERENCES IN ODDS OF SUCCESSFUL SCREENING BASED ON SUB-SECTIONS OF TRADITIONALLY DEFINED ETHNICITIES SUCH AS BREAKING DOWN "HISPANIC" INTO MORE SPECIFIC CULTURES AND BACKGROUNDS AND THAT SUGGESTS THAT FUTURE RESEARCH SHOULD FOCUS ON BETTER UNDERSTANDING INDIVIDUAL CULTURES AND COMMUNITIES, RATHER THAN LUMPING PATIENTS INTO OVERLY LARGE GROUPS."RAYALA AND COLLEAGUES LOOKED AT DE-IDENTIFIED RECORDS OF MORE THAN 22,000 PATIENTS BETWEEN 50- AND 75-YEARS OLD WHO SAW A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN AT CAMBRIDGE HEALTH ALLIANCE (CHA) IN 2018 TO 2019. OF THE 22,000 PATIENTS INCLUDED IN THE STUDY, 16,065 UNDERWENT COLORECTAL SCREENING, AN OVERALL SCREENING RATE OF 73 PERCENT--ON PAR WITH MASSACHUSETTS' OVERALL COLORECTAL SCREENING RATES. HOWEVER, MASSACHUSETTS' NUMBERS REFLECT NATIONAL RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES, IN WHICH PEOPLE OF COLOR DO NOT GET SCREENED AS OFTEN AS WHITE PEOPLE, SHOWING A SCREENING RATE OF 56 PERCENT OF HISPANIC INDIVIDUALS AND 68 PERCENT OF BLACK INDIVIDUALS COMPARED TO 76 PERCENT FOR WHITE INDIVIDUALS.IN CONTRAST, AT CHA, HISPANICS HAD THE HIGHEST SCREENING RATES OF 78 PERCENT. RAYALA AND COLLEAGUES FURTHER BROKE OUT PARTICIPANTS BY MORE GRANULAR DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS, FINDING THE ETHNICITY OF PORTUGUESE/AZOREAN RECEIVED SCREENING AT 79 PERCENT. SPANISH SPEAKERS IN GENERAL HAD THE HIGHEST SCREENING RATE OF NEARLY 80 PERCENT.5. PATIENTS OVERWHELMINGLY PREFER IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO TEST RESULTS, EVEN WHEN THE NEWS MAY NOT BE GOODIN APRIL 2021, NEW FEDERAL RULES WENT INTO EFFECT MANDATING THAT HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS MAKE NEARLY ALL TEST RESULTS AND CLINICAL NOTES IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS. EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT PATIENTS MAY GAIN IMPORTANT CLINICAL BENEFITS BY REVIEWING THEIR MEDICAL RECORDS, AND ACCESS THROUGH ELECTRONIC PATIENT PORTALS HAS BEEN ADVOCATED AS A STRATEGY FOR EMPOWERING PATIENTS TO MANAGE THEIR HEALTH CARE AND FOR STRENGTHENING PATIENT-CLINICIAN RELATIONSHIPS. HOWEVER, CONCERNS REMAIN ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF RELEASING TEST RESULTS TO PATIENTS BEFORE CLINICIANS OFFER COUNSEL OR INTERPRETATION.IN A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND MULTISITE SURVEY OF MORE THAN 8,000 PATIENTS WHO ACCESSED THEIR TEST RESULTS VIA AN ONLINE PATIENT PORTAL ACCOUNT, RESEARCHERS AT BIDMC AND COLLEAGUES FOUND THAT USERS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTED RECEIVING THE RESULTS IMMEDIATELY, EVEN IF THEIR PROVIDER HAD NOT YET REVIEWED THEM. THE FINDINGS, PUBLISHED IN JAMA NETWORK OPEN, SHOWED ONLY A SMALL SUBSET OF PATIENTS REPORTED EXPERIENCING ADDITIONAL WORRY AFTER RECEIVING ABNORMAL TEST RESULTS. IN ADDITION, PRE-COUNSELING BY THE HEALTH CARE TEAM BEFORE TESTS WERE ORDERED WAS LINKED TO REDUCED WORRY AMONG PATIENTS WITH ABNORMAL RESULTS."ONLINE PATIENT PORTALS HAVE EMERGED AS IMPORTANT TOOLS FOR INCREASING PATIENT ENGAGEMENT," SAID CO-SENIOR AUTHOR CATHERINE M. DESROCHES, DRPH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF OPENNOTES, THE INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT BASED AT BIDMC FOCUSED ON INCREASING INFORMATION TRANSPARENCY IN HEALTHCARE. "THEY ENABLE PATIENTS TO ACCESS INFORMATION, PARTICIPATE IN MEDICAL DECISION-MAKING AND TO COMMUNICATE WITH CLINICIANS. PRIOR STUDIES PERFORMED BY OPENNOTES INVESTIGATORS ESTABLISHED IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF CLINICAL NOTES AS A RECOMMENDED BEST PRACTICE. HOWEVER, RELEASING TEST RESULTS TO PATIENTS IMMEDIATELY, OFTEN BEFORE A CLINICIAN CAN PROVIDE COUNSELLING AND CONTEXT, WAS YET TO BE STUDIED WIDELY."TO ASSESS PATIENT AND CAREGIVER ATTITUDES AND PREFERENCES RELATED TO RECEIVING TEST RESULTS THROUGH THE PATIENT PORTAL, DESROCHES AND COLLEAGUES DELIVERED SURVEYS TO MORE THAN 43,000 PATIENTS AND CARE PARTNERS WHO ACCESSED THEIR TEST RESULTS VIA AN ONLINE PATIENT PORTAL ACCOUNT BETWEEN APRIL 2021 AND APRIL 2022. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THEIR PREFERENCES FOR CONTACTS ABOUT FUTURE TEST RESULTS, 90 PERCENT OF RESPONDENTS WITH NORMAL RESULTS INDICATED THEY WOULD PREFER RECEIVING THEIR RESULT VIA THE PATIENT PORTAL. THE SURVEY RESULTS SUGGEST THAT PATIENTS RECEIVING NOT NORMAL RESULTS ARE INDEED AT INCREASED RISK FOR WORRY. NEVERTHELESS, MORE THAN 95 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS WHO RECEIVED ABNORMAL TEST RESULTS REPORTED PREFERRING TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE IMMEDIATELY RELEASED RESULTS THROUGH THE PORTAL."RESPONDENTS OVERWHELMINGLY PREFERRED TO RECEIVE TEST RESULTS THROUGH THE PATIENT PORTAL, EVEN IF IT MEANT VIEWING RESULTS PRIOR TO DISCUSSING THEM WITH A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL," SAID CO-AUTHOR LIZ SALMI, COMMUNICATIONS AND PATIENT INITIATIVES DIRECTOR OF OPENNOTES AT BIDMC. "AS HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS CONTINUE TO NAVIGATE THIS NEW ERA OF HEALTH INFORMATION TRANSPARENCY, BALANCING PATIENTS' EXPECTATION OF IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO THEIR INFORMATION WITH THE NEED TO MANAGE INCREASED WORRY IS IMPORTANT."6. SHARP RISE IN CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS AMONG YOUNG ADULTS FORESHADOWS PUBLIC HEALTH CRISISIN A STUDY PUBLISHED IN JAMA AND PRESENTED AT THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS, RESEARCHERS AT BIDMC ANALYZED MORE THAN A DECADE'S WORTH OF DATA TO EXAMINE RATES OF CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS - SUCH AS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES, OBESITY AND SMOKING - AMONG US ADULTS FROM 2009 TO MARCH 2020. THE RESEARCHERS OBSERVED A RISE IN HYPERTENSION AND SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN DIABETES AND OBESITY RATES AMONG YOUNG ADULTS, WITH NO SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN CONTROL OF BLOOD PRESSURE OR BLOOD SUGAR. THE SCIENTISTS ALSO OBSERVED SUBSTANTIAL VARIATION IN THESE TRENDS BY RACE AND ETHNICITY."THE ONSET OF CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS EARLY IN LIFE IS ASSOCIATED WITH A HIGHER RISK OF HEART DISEASE AND ACUTE EVENTS, SUCH AS HEART ATTACK AND STROKE, RESULTING IN THE SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND YEARS OF LIFE," SAID CORRESPONDING AUTHOR RISHI K. WADHERA, MD, MPP, MPHIL, SECTION HEAD OF HEALTH POLICY AND EQUITY AT THE SMITH CENTER FOR OUTCOMES RESEARCH IN CARDIOLOGY AT BIDMC. "THEREFORE, THE SUBSTANTIAL RISE IN THE BURDEN OF CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS AMONG YOUNG ADULTS WILL HAVE MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH IMPLICATIONS AS THE POPULATION AGES."WADHERA AND COLLEAGUES OBSERVED THAT THE PREVALENCE OF HYPERTENSION INCREASED AND SAW STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN RATES OF DIABETES AND OBESITY DURING THE STUDY PERIOD. THE PERCENTAGE OF YOUNG ADULTS WITH A SMOKING HISTORY WAS HIGH AND DID NOT CHANGE. IN CONTRAST, RATES OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL DECLINED, A DECREASE THE SCIENTISTS SUGGEST REFLECTS GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF THE USE OF TRANS FATTY ACIDS AND OTHER PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED OILS IN PACKAGED CONVENIENCE FOODS AND FAST-FOOD RESTAURANTS.THE RESEARCHERS FOUND SUBSTANTIAL VARIATION IN PREVALENCE OF RISK FACTORS BY RACE AND ETHNICITY. OBESITY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED ACROSS ALL RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS EXCEPT BLACK ADULTS. WHILE RATES OF HYPERTENSION INCREASED AMONG MEXICAN AMERICANS AND OTHER HISPANIC ADULTS, BLACK ADULTS EXPERIENCED THE HIGHEST RATES OF HYPERTENSION.THE RESEARCHERS ALSO EXAMINED CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTOR TREATMENT AND CONTROL RATES AMONG YOUNG ADULTS. ONLY ABOUT 55 PERCENT OF YOUNG ADULTS WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE RECEIVE TREATMENT FOR THE CONDITION. RATES OF DIABETES TREATMENT WERE ALSO LOW, WITH ONE OUT OF TWO YOUNG ADULTS ON THERAPY FOR THEIR DIABETES. NEARLY HALF OF YOUNG ADULTS ON TREATMENT FOR DIABETES HAD POOR BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL."THE SUBOPTIMAL TREATMENT RATES FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND DIABETES ARE CONCERNING AND MAY BE BECAUSE MANY YOUNG ADULTS AREN'T AWARE OF THEIR DIAGNOSIS," SAID WADHERA. "THE RISE IN CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS THAT WE OBSERVED SHOULD BE A CALL-TO-ACTION TO INTENSIFY PUBLIC HEALTH AND CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS FOCUSED ON THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS IN YOUNG ADULTS." |
| 7. COSTS OF NATURAL DISASTERS SET TO SPIRAL WITH CONTINUED RISE | IN CO2 AND GLOBAL TEMPERATURE, STUDY SHOWSIN A PAPER PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND HEALTH, MEMBERS OF THE BIDMC FELLOWSHIP IN DISASTER MEDICINE ESTIMATED THAT CLIMATE CHANGE-RELATED NATURAL DISASTERS HAVE INCREASED SINCE 1980 AND HAVE ALREADY COST THE UNITED STATES MORE THAN $2 TRILLION IN RECOVERY COSTS. THEIR ANALYSIS ALSO SUGGESTS THAT AS ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS AND THE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE CONTINUE TO RISE, THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF DISASTERS WILL INCREASE, WITH RECOVERY COSTS POTENTIALLY RISING EXPONENTIALLY."THE UNITED STATES SPENDS A STAGGERING AMOUNT ON COSTS SECONDARY TO NATURAL DISASTERS," SAID SENIOR AUTHOR GREGORY CIOTTONE, MD, DIRECTOR OF THE DISASTER MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP AT BIDMC. "CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS AND TEMPERATURES HAVE INCREASED OVER THE PAST FOUR DECADES AND ARE STRONGLY POSITIVELY CORRELATED WITH THE NUMBER AND COST OF BILLION-DOLLAR DISASTERS, SUGGESTING THE ANNUAL NUMBER OF EVENTS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE ALONG WITH THEIR ECONOMIC BURDEN. MEASURES ARE NEEDED TO MITIGATE THOSE COSTS."TO ASSESS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RISING CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS, TEMPERATURES AND THE NUMBER OF DISASTERS COSTING A BILLION DOLLARS OR MORE IN THE UNITED STATES, CIOTTONE AND COLLEAGUES ANALYZED DATA BETWEEN 1980-2021 FROM THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION (NCEI). THE TEAM FOUND THAT THE INCREASES IN ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS AND TEMPERATURE TIGHTLY LINKED TO EACH OTHER WERE ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASING NUMBERS OF EVENTS PER YEAR, AS WELL AS FATALITIES. AFTER ADJUSTING DOLLAR VALUES FOR INFLATION, THEIR ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT MORE FREQUENT AND MORE SEVERE DISASTERS ARE INCURRING RISING COSTS.AMONG THEIR FINDINGS: FROM 1980-1989, THERE WERE 3 BILLION-DOLLAR EVENTS PER YEAR AND 297 DEATHS PER YEAR, COSTING A TOTAL OF $19.5 BILLION. BY 2010-2019, THE RISE IN CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS AND TEMPERATURE WERE LINKED WITH 13 ANNUAL EVENTS, 523 ANNUAL DEATHS, AND $89.2 BILLION IN RECOVERY COSTS, A FOURFOLD INCREASE."FRAMING DISASTERS IN THIS ECONOMIC LIGHT CAN BRING MORE ATTENTION AND MOTIVATION FOR CHANGE TO ALTER POLICYMAKERS' DECISIONS," SAID CORRESPONDING AUTHOR VIJAI BHOLA, MD, A GRADUATE OF THE DISASTER MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP AT BIDMC, WHO NOTES THE CURRENT ANALYSIS CAPTURES JUST A FRACTION OF THE COSTS INCURRED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. "THESE COSTS REPRESENT A COMBINATION OF IMMEDIATE AND LONGER-TERM RESTORATION ESTIMATES. WHAT THEY DO NOT REFLECT, HOWEVER, ARE FACTORS SUCH AS DESTRUCTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES OR LOSS OF LIFE, AND THEREFORE THESE NUMBERS SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERESTIMATE THE TRUE COST OF CLIMATE-RELATED DISASTERS."8. RESEARCHERS TEST AI POWERED CHATBOTS MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC ABILITYIN A RECENT EXPERIMENT PUBLISHED IN JAMA, PHYSICIAN-RESEARCHERS AT BIDMC TESTED ONE WELL-KNOWN PUBLICLY AVAILABLE CHATBOT'S ABILITY TO MAKE ACCURATE DIAGNOSES IN CHALLENGING MEDICAL CASES. THE TEAM FOUND THAT THE GENERATIVE AI, CHAT-GPT 4, SELECTED THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS AS ITS TOP DIAGNOSIS NEARLY 40 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND PROVIDED THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS IN ITS LIST OF POTENTIAL DIAGNOSES IN TWO-THIRDS OF CHALLENGING CASES.GENERATIVE AI CHATBOTS ARE POWERFUL TOOLS POISED TO REVOLUTIONIZE CREATIVE INDUSTRIES, EDUCATION, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MORE. HOWEVER, LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THEIR POTENTIAL PERFORMANCE IN THE CLINICAL SETTING, SUCH AS COMPLEX DIAGNOSTIC REASONING."RECENT ADVANCES IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HAVE LED TO GENERATIVE AI MODELS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF DETAILED TEXT-BASED RESPONSES THAT SCORE HIGHLY IN STANDARDIZED MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS," SAID ADAM RODMAN, MD, MPH, CO-DIRECTOR OF THE INNOVATIONS IN MEDIA AND EDUCATION DELIVERY (IMED) INITIATIVE AT BIDMC. "WE WANTED TO KNOW IF SUCH A GENERATIVE MODEL COULD 'THINK LIKE A DOCTOR, SO WE ASKED ONE TO SOLVE STANDARDIZED COMPLEX DIAGNOSTIC CASES USED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. IT DID REALLY, REALLY WELL."TO ASSESS THE CHATBOT'S DIAGNOSTIC SKILLS, RODMAN AND COLLEAGUES USED CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL CASE CONFERENCES (CPCS), A SERIES OF COMPLEX AND CHALLENGING PATIENT CASES INCLUDING RELEVANT CLINICAL AND LABORATORY DATA, IMAGING STUDIES, AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL FINDINGS PUBLISHED IN THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES.EVALUATING 70 CPC CASES, THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EXACTLY MATCHED THE FINAL CPC DIAGNOSIS IN 27 (39 PERCENT) OF CASES. IN 64 PERCENT OF THE CASES, THE FINAL CPC DIAGNOSIS WAS INCLUDED IN THE AI'S DIFFERENTIAL A LIST OF POSSIBLE CONDITIONS THAT COULD ACCOUNT FOR A PATIENT'S SYMPTOMS, MEDICAL HISTORY, CLINICAL FINDINGS AND LABORATORY OR IMAGING RESULTS."WHILE CHATBOTS CANNOT REPLACE THE EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE OF A TRAINED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, GENERATIVE AI IS A PROMISING POTENTIAL ADJUNCT TO HUMAN COGNITION IN DIAGNOSIS," SAID FIRST AUTHOR ZAHIR KANJEE, MD, MPH, A HOSPITALIST AT BIDMC. "IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO HELP PHYSICIANS MAKE SENSE OF COMPLEX MEDICAL DATA AND BROADEN OR REFINE OUR DIAGNOSTIC THINKING. WE NEED MORE RESEARCH ON THE OPTIMAL USES, BENEFITS AND LIMITS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY, AND A LOT OF PRIVACY ISSUES NEED SORTING OUT, BUT THESE ARE EXCITING FINDINGS FOR THE FUTURE OF DIAGNOSIS AND PATIENT CARE.""OUR STUDY ADDS TO A GROWING BODY OF LITERATURE DEMONSTRATING THE PROMISING CAPABILITIES OF AI TECHNOLOGY," SAID CO-AUTHOR BYRON CROWE, MD, AN INTERNAL MEDICINE PHYSICIAN AT BIDMC. "FURTHER INVESTIGATION WILL HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW THESE NEW AI MODELS MIGHT TRANSFORM HEALTH CARE DELIVERY."9. INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY TO BETTER SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH CAREOVER THE PAST DECADE, DEMAND FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES HAS RISEN SIGNIFICANTLY, WITH THE NUMBER OF ADULTS RECEIVING PSYCHIATRIC CARE INCREASING BY MORE THAN 12 PERCENT SINCE 2011, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MENTAL ILLNESS. HOWEVER, A SHORTAGE OF MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIANS MEANS MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL NOT ABLE TO ACCESS THE CARE THEY NEED. IN A CASE STUDY PUBLISHED IN NEJM CATALYST, CLINICIAN-INVESTIGATORS IN THE DIVISION OF DIGITAL PSYCHIATRY AT BIDMC HIGHLIGHT A MODEL THEY DEVELOPED FOR INTEGRATING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AND BRIEF EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT INTO IN-PERSON PSYCHIATRY. KNOWN AS THE DIGITAL CLINIC, THE TEAM'S INNOVATIVE HYBRID CARE MODEL EXPANDS PATIENTS' ACCESS TO HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE WHILE SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASING PATIENT WAIT TIMES AND LENGTH OF TREATMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE TEAM'S RECENT PILOT STUDY SUGGESTS THAT THIS MODEL MAY YIELD POST-TREATMENT IMPROVEMENTS IN PATIENTS' SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY THAT ARE COMPARABLE TO, IF NOT BETTER THAN, TRADITIONAL MODELS OF CARE."AS THE SEVERITY OF MENTAL HEALTH CRISES INCREASES, EVIDENCED BY RISING RATES OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY ESPECIALLY IN YOUNG PEOPLE, IT'S CRITICAL THAT INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS ARE DEVELOPED TO INCREASE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY PSYCHIATRIC CARE," SAID SENIOR AUTHOR JOHN TOROUS, MD, MBI, DIRECTOR OF THE DIVISION OF DIGITAL PSYCHIATRY AT BIDMC. "OUR ENCOURAGING FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT WHEN WE TARGET DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY WITH BRIEF, TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED, EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT, OUR PATIENTS CAN OBTAIN MEANINGFUL GAINS."IN A RECENT PILOT STUDY OF 40 ADULT PATIENTS WHO RECEIVED EIGHT WEEKS OF TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION AND/OR ANXIETY IN THE DIGITAL CLINIC BETWEEN OCTOBER 2022 AND JANUARY 2023, 67 PERCENT OF PATIENTS' MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES THAT WERE TARGETED IN TREATMENT REFLECTED CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT. NOTABLY, 64 PERCENT OF THOSE PATIENT OUTCOMES REFLECTED REMISSION, DEFINED AS HAVING "MILD, MINIMAL OR NO SYMPTOMS" BY THE END OF TREATMENT."THESE OUTCOMES MEET AND EXCEED OUTCOMES FROM LONGER-TERM TREATMENT," SAID TOROUS, WHO ADDED THAT RECENT META-ANALYSES OF MAINLY MAINSTREAM, EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENTS FOUND REMISSION RATES OF JUST OVER HALF FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS AND ROUGHLY ONE THIRD FOR DEPRESSION. LIKEWISE, STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT DIGITAL APPROACHES TO MENTAL HEALTH CAN YIELD IMPRESSIVE RESULTS WHEN PATIENTS CONSISTENTLY ENGAGE WITH THEM, BUT DECADES OF USER-CENTERED DESIGN AND GAMIFICATION HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF KEEPING PEOPLE REGULARLY INTERACTING WITH THE TECHNOLOGY LONG TERM."WE DESIGNED THE DIGITAL CLINIC TO HARNESS THE STRENGTHS OF BOTH TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL MENTAL HEALTH CARE," SAID FIRST AUTHOR NATALIA MACRYNIKOLA, PHD, A POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW AT BIDMC. "THE BENEFITS OF HUMAN RAPPORT, THE THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE, AND A THERAPIST'S ABILITY TO TAILOR EVIDENCED-BASED THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS TO THE NEEDS OF EACH CLIENT ARE TANGIBLE ADVANTAGES OF TRADITIONAL CARE, WHEREAS THE SCALABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF DIGITAL APPROACHES CONFER CLEAR ADVANTAGES THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED." |
| 10. NEW NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE AIM | TO ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY FOR US NEWBORNSLED BY BIDMC NEONATOLOGIST ANN R. STARK, MD, IN HER CAPACITY AS MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF THE NICU VERIFICATION PROGRAM FOR THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS (AAP), A TEAM OF NEONATAL LEADERS AND EXPERIENCED CLINICIANS HAVE ESTABLISHED NEW STANDARDS FOR LEVELS OF NEONATAL CARE THAT SPECIFY THE PERSONNEL, EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES HOSPITALS NEED TO PROVIDE FOR NEWBORNS AND FAMILIES. BASED ON AAP POLICY, EVIDENCE-BASED LITERATURE AND STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE, STANDARDS FOR LEVELS OF NEONATAL CARE: II, III, & IV, APPEARED IN THE AAP'S JOURNAL PEDIATRICS."WE HAVE CREATED THESE STANDARDS WITH A GOAL TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES, INCREASE ACCESS TO CARE, IMPROVE STANDARDIZATION ACROSS ALL LEVELS OF NEONATAL CARE AND ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY FOR BABIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY," SAID STARK, "WE WERE CONCERNED THAT FIRST, ALL BABIES SHOULD BE TREATED IN A PLACE WITH APPROPRIATE CARE AND SECOND, THAT THE FACILITY HAS THE PEOPLE AND THE EQUIPMENT THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR DEGREE OF ILLNESS OR IMMATURITY." THE UNITED STATES RANKS 35TH IN NEONATAL MORTALITY AMONG DEVELOPED NATIONS; MORE THAN THREE BABIES OUT OF EVERY 1,000 BABIES DIE WITHIN THEIR FIRST MONTH OF LIFE. MANY FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO THESE SHOCKING NUMBERS, HOWEVER, EXPERTS AGREE ONE REASON IS THE LACK OF NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNITS (NICUS). WITH PUBLICATION OF THE NEW STANDARDS, AND WHEN PROCESSES ARE IN PLACE, THE AAP PROGRAM WILL BE ABLE TO VERIFY A NEONATAL FACILITY'S COMPLIANCE AND DESIGNATE THAT IT PROVIDES A SPECIFIC LEVEL OF NEONATAL CARE (II, III OR IV). HOSPITALS WILL SUBMIT DATA AND UNDERGO A SURVEY OF THEIR FACILITY. THOSE THAT MEET REQUIREMENTS WILL BE ABLE TO STATE THAT THEY ARE AAP-VERIFIED AT A PARTICULAR LEVEL OF NEONATAL CARE. THE DESIGNATION THEN WILL BE TRANSPARENT TO PHYSICIANS AND FAMILIES DECIDING WHERE TO DELIVER AND/OR SEEK CARE FOR THEIR BABY."PARENTS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE LEVEL OF NEONATAL CARE AVAILABLE WHERE THEY ARE DELIVERING," SAID STARK. "WHETHER THEY ARE BORN IN URBAN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTERS OR RURAL COMMUNITY HOSPITALS, ALL BABIES DESERVE OPTIMAL CARE. ADOPTION OF THE AAP NEONATAL STANDARDS IS A VITAL STEP TOWARD HIGH-QUALITY AND EQUITABLE CARE."FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS - GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AS NOTED THROUGHOUT THIS FORM 990, BID NEEDHAM IS A MEMBER OF THE BETH ISRAEL LAHEY HEALTH (BILH) NETWORK OF AFFILIATES.

| HARVARD AFFILIATED EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESIDENCY AT BIDMC | THE BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER HARVARD AFFILIATED EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESIDENCY IS A THREE-YEAR PROGRAM (PGY-1 TO PGY-3) AFFILIATED WITH HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL AND IS BASED AT BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER (BIDMC), A 57,000 VISIT PER YEAR LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER. RESIDENTS ROTATE AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL BOSTON, BROCKTON HOSPITAL, CAMBRIDGE HEALTH ALLIANCE, TUFTS MEDICAL CENTER, ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL, MOUNT AUBURN HOSPITAL, SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL AND BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS HOSPITAL-NEEDHAM.THE EDUCATIONAL GOALS OF THE RESIDENCY ARE TO PROMOTE EXCELLENCE IN THE CLINICAL, ACADEMIC, AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE. RESIDENTS ARE TAUGHT HOW TO BE OUTSTANDING CLINICIANS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IN SEVERAL BUSY EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS AS WELL AS THROUGH A HIGH QUALITY DIDACTIC PROGRAM. DURING THE CLINICAL EXPERIENCE, THE RESIDENTS ARE CLOSELY SUPERVISED AND GIVEN GRADED RESPONSIBILITY FOR PATIENT CARE AND ULTIMATELY FOR PATIENT FLOW IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, RESIDENTS ARE TAUGHT HOW TO SUPERVISE MEDICAL STUDENTS AND OTHER RESIDENTS AND HOW TO TEACH THE PRACTICE OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE. RESIDENTS TEACH MEDICAL STUDENTS AND PREHOSPITAL PERSONNEL AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE DIDACTIC PROGRAM. SENIOR RESIDENTS TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUPERVISING JUNIOR RESIDENTS IN THE CLINICAL ARENA. THE FOCUS OF THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM IS ON TEACHING THE LEADERSHIP SKILLS NECESSARY TO DIRECT A BUSY EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN ANY SETTING.THE OTHER MAJOR EDUCATIONAL GOAL OF THE RESIDENCY IS TO DEVELOP THE RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC SKILLS REQUIRED FOR A CAREER IN ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE. PARTICIPATION IN RESEARCH IS PROMOTED THROUGH A SYSTEM OF MENTORSHIP, JOURNAL CLUB PARTICIPATION, AND A DIDACTIC PROGRAM THAT TEACHES RESEARCH DESIGN AND STATISTICAL METHODS. RESIDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A RESEARCH OR ACADEMIC PROJECT THAT RESULTS IN A PAPER SUITABLE FOR PUBLICATION. FUNDING IS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL AND THE DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE AT BIDMC. PROMOTING THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE IS ANOTHER GOAL OF THE BIDMC HARVARD AFFILIATED EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESIDENCY. THROUGH AN EMS/ADMINISTRATIVE ROTATION AND A LONGITUDINAL EXPERIENCE IN PREHOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION, RESIDENTS GAIN EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING A LOCAL PREHOSPITAL SYSTEM.THIS PROGRAM TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE UNIQUE ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE HARVARD TEACHING HOSPITALS, AND THE HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

| INTERNAL MEDICINE EDUCATION AT BIDMC | THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO DEVELOP EACH RESIDENT'S JUDGMENT AND SKILLS TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY MEDICAL CARE. THE MEDICAL CENTER TRAINS RESIDENTS AS ACADEMIC INTERNISTS AND PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR THE PRACTICE OF INTERNAL MEDICINE OR FOR SUBSEQUENT CLINICAL AND RESEARCH TRAINING IN MEDICAL SUBSPECIALTIES. RESIDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO A WIDE ARRAY OF PATIENTS IN VARIOUS INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SETTINGS, INCLUDING DIFFERENT UNITS WITHIN BIDMC, DANA FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE, AND WEST ROXBURY VETERANS AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER. CLINICAL TEACHING IS A FOCUS AT BIDMC AND IS COMPRISED OF FORMAL AND INFORMAL DAILY ROUNDS AND NOONTIME CONFERENCES. THIS TEACHING PROVIDES THE BASIS OF AN ORGANIZED CURRICULUM FOR ALL MEDICAL INTERNS AND RESIDENTS AT BIDMC.INTERNSHIPTHE INTERNSHIP YEAR EMPHASIZES THE CARE OF PATIENTS IN GENERAL INPATIENT MEDICINE, INTENSIVE CARE MEDICINE, ONCOLOGY, CARDIOLOGY, EMERGENCY MEDICINE AND AMBULATORY CARE UTILIZING BOTH CAMPUSES AND SELECTED OUTSIDE SITES. WORKING AS PART OF A 2-4 PHYSICIAN TEAM WHICH INCLUDES AN OVERSEEING RESIDENT, ATTENDING STAFF AND OFTEN MEDICAL STUDENTS, INTERNS GAIN EXPERIENCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH A BROAD RANGE OF MEDICAL DISEASES. INTERNS HAVE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CARE OF ALL PATIENTS ADMITTED TO THE MEDICAL WARD SERVICE AND ARE CONSIDERED THEIR PATIENT'S PRIMARY INPATIENT DOCTOR FOR THE DURATION OF THE HOSPITALIZATION. THROUGHOUT INTERN YEAR, INTERNS MAINTAIN A LONGITUDINAL CONTINUITY CLINIC EXPERIENCE WHERE THEY DEVELOP A PANEL OF THEIR OWN PRIMARY CARE PATIENTS. DURING MOST OF THE YEAR, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF INTENSIVE CARE ROTATIONS, AN INTERN WILL HAVE CLINIC ONE HALF-DAY PER WEEK. DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ARE FOUR "AMBULATORY BLOCKS" OF TWO WEEKS DURATION. DURING THIS TIME THE INTERN IS IN THEIR CONTINUITY CLINIC EVERY AFTERNOON AND ATTENDS OUTPATIENT SPECIFIC DIDACTIC LECTURES DURING THE MORNING HOURS. AS MEMBERS OF THE HARVARD FACULTY, INTERNS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN TEACHING, BOTH OF THEIR PEERS AND OF ROTATING MEDICAL STUDENTS. WHILE ON THE MEDICAL WARDS, INTERNS PROVIDE DAILY CLINICAL GUIDANCE AND TEACHING TO THIRD AND FOURTH YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS. AS PART OF THE AMBULATORY CARE CURRICULUM, INTERNS WILL ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD PRE-CLINIC CONFERENCES. DURING THE YEAR, THERE ARE SPECIAL INTERN-ONLY EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING THE TWICE-WEEKLY INTERN REPORT, MONTHLY INTERN FORUM SESSIONS AND BI-ANNUAL 24-HOUR INTERN RETREATS.JUNIOR AND SENIOR RESIDENCY RESIDENCY SOLIDIFIES CLINICAL AND TEACHING SKILLS AND ALLOWS TRAINEES TO EXPERIENCE LEADERSHIP OF A MEDICAL TEAM. JUNIOR RESIDENCY PROVIDES THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO SUPERVISE HOUSESTAFF TEAMS ON GENERAL MEDICAL SERVICES AND IN THE MEDICAL AND CARDIAC INTENSIVE CARE UNITS. SENIOR RESIDENCY PROMOTES CONSOLIDATION AND REFINEMENT OF THESE SKILLS, WITH ATTENDINGS ALLOWING INCREASING AUTONOMY. THE RESIDENT ON THE SERVICE IS LOOKED ON AS THE TEAM LEADER AND ASSUMES PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR TEACHING OF THE TEAM. RESIDENCY ALSO PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCREASED ELECTIVE TIME TO SAMPLE SUBSPECIALTY ROTATIONS. THIS PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SPECIALTY TRAINING IN AREAS OF INTEREST. THE ELECTIVE OPPORTUNITIES ARE DIVERSE, RANGING FROM ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY TO MUSCULOSKELETAL MEDICINE TO HEALTH POLICY. RESIDENTS ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE OF SEVERAL "TRACKS" WITHIN THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM IF INTERESTED IN ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC TRAINING RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCES.TEACHING AS A RESIDENTAS MENTIONED ABOVE, RESIDENTS ARE VIEWED AS SOME OF THE PRIMARY TEACHERS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE. SOME OF THESE TEACHING OPPORTUNITIES WILL ALSO BE OBSERVED BY DEPARTMENT FACULTY TO HELP THE RESIDENT REFINE THE STYLE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THEIR TEACHING. TEACHING OPPORTUNITIES WILL INCLUDE:LEADING INPATIENT MEDICINE ROUNDS: -RESIDENTS ARE IN CHARGE OF RUNNING WARD ROUNDS. MEDICAL STUDENTS AND INTERNS PRESENT TO THE RESIDENT DURING ROUNDS. THE ATTENDING HOSPITALIST IS CONSIDERED THE RESIDENT'S CONSULTANT, WITH THE RESIDENT RETAINING THE PRIMARY DECISION-MAKING ROLE FOR THE PATIENTS ON THEIR SERVICE.-DURING THE MONTHS ON MEDICAL WARDS, THE CHIEF RESIDENTS AND FIRM CHIEFS ARE ASSIGNED TO DO WALK ROUND ONCE EACH WEEK WITH ONE OF THE RESIDENTS ON THEIR FIRM. THEY WILL OBSERVE THE RESIDENT RUNNING THE WARD ROUNDS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE TEACHING SKILLS OBSERVED DURING ROUNDS.LEADING TEACHING ATTENDING ROUNDS: -DURING EVERY ROTATION ON THE MEDICAL WARDS, EACH RESIDENT WILL LEAD ONE TO THREE ATTENDING ROUNDS SESSIONS. THE TWO TEACHING ATTENDINGS HELP PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE RESIDENT'S SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION AND TEACHING SKILLS. SMALL GROUP PRESENTATIONS: -DURING AMBULATORY WEEKS, RESIDENTS WILL LEAD A MAJORITY OF THE PRE-CLINIC CONFERENCES, TYPICALLY PRESENTING EITHER A CHALLENGING AMBULATORY CASE OR AMBULATORY-BASED TOPIC.-ONCE DURING RESIDENCY, EACH JUNIOR RESIDENT WILL ALSO PRESENT A JOURNAL ARTICLE OF AMBULATORY CARE SIGNIFICANCE AT AMBULATORY JOURNAL CLUB TO A SMALL GROUP OF THEIR PEERS. INTERNAL MEDICINE GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAMOUR MISSION IS TO TRAIN LEADERS IN GLOBAL HEALTH TO BE EFFECTIVE PRACTITIONERS IN UNDERSERVED, RESOURCE-LIMITED SETTINGS AND TO DESIGN, MANAGE, IMPROVE AND EVALUATE GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE HEALTH PROBLEMS OF THE WORLD'S NEEDIEST POPULATIONS.PROGRAM OBJECTIVES -INTRODUCE GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUES TO BIDMC MEDICAL RESIDENTS -CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS IN BOSTON AND AROUND THE WORLD -ENRICH THE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE AND ENHANCE THE CLINICAL SKILLS OF RESIDENTS BY PRACTICING IN UNIQUE SETTINGS WITH LIMITED RESOURCES -EXPAND RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES -ADVANCE THE CAREERS OF BIDMC RESIDENTS IN THE FIELDS OF INTERNATIONAL HEALTH, PUBLIC POLICY AND RESEARCH SITE LOCATIONS -BOTSWANA: THE DEPARTMENT HAS A PERMANENT PRESENCE IN BOTSWANA WITH A MEMBER OF OUR DEPARTMENT FULL-TIME AT SCOTTISH LIVINGSTONE HOSPITAL IN MOLEPOLOLE, BOTSWANA. -VIETNAM: THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS A PERMANENT PRESENCE IN VIETNAM.

| NEUROLOGY EDUCATION AT BIDMC | THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL NEUROLOGY PROGRAM AT BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER AND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS WAS FOUNDED IN 1996 AS THE SUCCESSOR TO THE HARVARD-LONGWOOD NEUROLOGY PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM CONCENTRATES ON THE TRAINING AND RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE ON THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL LONGWOOD CAMPUS, BY COMBINING THE RESOURCES OF TWO MAJOR HARVARD TEACHING HOSPITALS, BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER AND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. THESE COMBINED HOSPITALS, WITH OVER 800 INPATIENT BEDS AND EXTENSIVE OUTPATIENT CLINICS, PROVIDE THE SETTING FOR TRAINING PHYSICIANS IN THE ART AND SCIENCE OF CLINICAL NEUROLOGY.THE COMBINED FACULTY CONSISTS OF MORE THAN 80 NEUROLOGISTS AT THE TWO PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS, AND PROVIDES CORE EXPERIENCES IN INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT NEUROLOGY, AS WELL AS TRAINING IN ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY (INCLUDING EEG, EMG, AND SLEEP POLYSOMNOGRAPHY) AND NEUROPATHOLOGY. THE KEY DISTINGUISHING FEATURE OF THE PROGRAM IS THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CLINICAL FACULTY, NEARLY ALL OF WHOM ARE FULL-TIME ACADEMIC NEUROLOGISTS ENGAGED IN SUBSTANTIVE RESEARCH AND TEACHING EFFORTS, AND A SELECT GROUP OF RESIDENTS WHO ARE KEENLY INTERESTED IN FORGING ACADEMIC CAREERS IN NEUROLOGY. VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE CLINICAL TRAINING TAKES PLACE WITHIN A 2 BLOCK RADIUS ON THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL LONGWOOD CAMPUS. A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE PROGRAM IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO HAVE A MENTORED TEACHING EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERTAKE A MENTORED PROJECT, WHICH MAY ENTAIL EITHER CLINICAL OR LABORATORY BASED INVESTIGATION OR PREPARATION OF INNOVATIVE TEACHING MATERIALS OR METHODS. |
| PATHOLOGY EDUCATION AT BIDMC | THE DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY AT BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING STATE-OF-THE-ART TRAINING TO PREPARE PHYSICIANS FOR LEADERSHIP ROLES IN PATHOLOGY AND ACADEMIC MEDICINE. THE PROGRAM OFFERS THREE RESIDENT TRAINING PATHWAYS: FIRST, A COMBINED ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY/CLINICAL PATHOLOGY (AP/CP) PATHWAY PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING IN ALL AREAS OF TISSUE DIAGNOSTICS AND LABORATORY MEDICINE. SECOND, THE AP ONLY PATHWAY PREPARES RESIDENTS FOR CAREERS AS ACADEMIC SURGICAL PATHOLOGISTS. THIRD, THE CP ONLY PATHWAY PREPARES RESIDENTS FOR CAREERS AS FUTURE LEADERS IN LABORATORY MEDICINE. ALL PATHWAYS INCLUDE EXTENSIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH PROJECTS WITH WORLD-RENOWNED EXPERTS IN PATHOLOGY OR RELATED DISCIPLINES. KNOWLEDGE COMES THROUGH EXPERIENCE AND EXTENSIVE INTERACTION WITH FACULTY. IN ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY SIGN OUT, RESIDENTS PREPARE THEIR OWN DIAGNOSES AND ARE THEN IN A POSITION TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF SIGN OUT WITH STAFF MEMBERS. IN CLINICAL PATHOLOGY, RESIDENTS GAIN EXPERIENCE DURING DAILY ROUNDS WITH ATTENDINGS, SOCRATIC TUTORIALS, AND THROUGH POSITIONING OF RESIDENTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN CLINICIAN AND LABORATORY. THERE ARE DAILY TEACHING AND CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCES COVERING THE DIFFERENT PATHOLOGY SPECIALTIES. GIVEN THE IMPORTANT ROLE PATHOLOGISTS PLAY IN TEACHING MEDICAL STUDENTS AND COLLEAGUES IN OTHER SPECIALTIES, THE PROGRAM PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR RESIDENTS AS THEY HONE THEIR TEACHING SKILLS. SUCH "RESIDENT-AS-TEACHER" PROGRAMS ARE COMMON IN OTHER SPECIALTIES BUT NOT AS WELL-DEVELOPED IN PATHOLOGY. THE CURRICULUM INCLUDES SESSIONS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE SKILLS RELATED TO GIVING FEEDBACK AND SMALL GROUP TEACHING. THERE IS A SESSION ON DEVELOPING PRESENTATION SKILLS WITH CLOSE MENTORING OF FIRST YEAR RESIDENTS, BY SPECIFIC FACULTY WHO HAVE ALSO BEEN THROUGH THE CURRICULUM, AS THEY PREPARE FOR THEIR FIRST PRESENTATION. THERE ARE ALSO OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS TO TEACH MEDICAL STUDENTS BOTH WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT AND AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, AS WELL AS TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK ON THEIR TEACHING SKILLS. RECOGNIZING THE NEED TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY INTO RESIDENCY TRAINING, ALL FIRST YEAR RESIDENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH IPADS. THESE TABLETS ALLOW RESIDENTS TO MORE EASILY PREVIEW THE SLIDES THAT ARE ROUTINELY SCANNED FOR OUR SURGICAL SLIDE CONFERENCE. GENOMIC TECHNOLOGY WILL AFFECT THE PRACTICE OF ALL MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. AS THE PHYSICIANS WHO MANAGE THE HOSPITAL LABORATORIES, PATHOLOGISTS MUST UNDERSTAND NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING TECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATION TO PATIENT CARE. IN 2009, THE PROGRAM CREATED, TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THE FIRST GENOMIC PATHOLOGY CURRICULUM IN THE COUNTRY. THE CURRICULUM HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AND HAS SERVED AS THE BASIS FOR A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO DEVELOP A NATIONAL GENOMICS CURRICULUM (WWW.ASCP.ORG/TRIG).TRAINING IN EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE IS CRITICAL. A FIRST-YEAR RESIDENT JOURNAL CLUB ALLOWS AN INTRODUCTION TO CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE MEDICAL LITERATURE. IN LATER YEARS, RESIDENTS LEAD SMALL-GROUP DISCUSSIONS IN MONTHLY JOURNAL CLUBS. THERE IS ALSO AN EVIDENCE-BASED TRANSFUSION MEDICINE CURRICULUM TO HONE THESE SKILLS DURING CP TRAINING. |
