Professors from the University of Texas Dell Medical School say that contrary to the concerns among some critics of this movement away from paying for volume\, value-based care is not a fad. \nIn fact\, students at the school are learning to deliver care in value-based settings. They will define value-based care and explain how medical students are learning to deliver care under this new method of payment. \n\n\nElizabeth Teisberg\, Ph.D.\, executive director\, Value Institute for Health and Care; professor\, Department of Medical Education\, University of Texas Dell Medical School \n\n\nScott Wallace\, J.D.\, M.B.A.\, managing director\, Value Institute for Health and Care; associate professor\, Department of Medical Education\, University of Texas Dell Medical School \n\n\nModerator: Joseph Burns\, AHCJ topic leader/insurance \n\n\nElizabeth Teisberg\, Ph.D.\, serves the Dell Medical School and McCombs School of Business as executive director of the Value Institute for Health and Care and is the Cullen Trust for Higher Education Distinguished University Chair in Value-Based Care. As the co-creator of the concept of value-based health care delivery\, Teisberg is best known for writing “Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results\,” which she co-authored with Michael E. Porter. \nScott Wallace is the co-founder and managing director of the Value Institute for Health and Care at Dell Medical School\, where he works with students\, employers\, health care leaders and other stakeholders to transform health care delivery in the United States and around the world.

Through this experience she decided that her passion for science came from talking about it rather than doing it. She was offered the honorary editorship of Microbiologist magazine and when her postdoc contract ended\, she took the position of communications officer for Med-Vet-Net\, the EU FP6 project on zoonotic disease. Harper began working as communications officer for SfAM in June 2006. Since then\, she has developed SfAMs Communications remit and in June 2009 she was promoted to communications manager. In 2010 Harper was awarded an M.B.A. with distinction\, which she completed part-time at Aston University. After a period of maternity leave\, Harper returned to the Society as deputy CEO\, and was then appointed as chief executive in November 2014. \nDr. Mark Fielder is president of the Society for Applied Microbiology. Fielder began his career at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath where he became a trainee Biomedical Scientist. He completed a microbiology degree at Kings College\, London\, and followed that with a doctorate in microbiology and immunology\, working on bacterial causes of rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Following this he won the Tadion Rideal prize for outstanding post-graduate work in molecular science. Fielder then moved on to St. George’s Hospital medical school to work with Professor David Lewis and Professor George Griffin on the use of Cholera toxin and the heat labile toxins of E. coli as adjuvants for mucosal vaccines. Following this\, he became a lecturer at Kingston University which is where he is currently based and in 2011 became professor of medical microbiology. \nAbout The Wiley Network \nWiley believes the most successful individuals never stop learning.

BacteriologyUniversity of Wisconsin\, Ph.D. Cellular and Molecular Biology \nInitially Halfmann wanted to pursue a medical degree after his undergraduate studies\, but he became interested in infectious diseases and viruses\, particularly Ebola virus\, after reading Richard Preston’s “The Hot Zone.” At the beginning of his junior year\, he sought out a lab at the University of Wisconsin that focused its research on virus pathogenesis and discovered the lab of Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka\, a professor at the School of Veterinary Medicine and a world expert on influenza virus. \nAfter being told that influenza viruses were as interesting as Ebola virus\, Halfmann started his career in the Kawaoka group. He was a student research assistant for two years\, then\, after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in bacteriology\, he was a technician for one year before starting graduate school in the Cellular and Molecular Biology program with Dr. Kawaoka as his mentor. Unable to conduct research with authentic Ebola virus in Wisconsin\, Halfmann developed a novel\, biologically-contained Ebola virus as part of his graduate thesis research. The biologically-contained virus resembled authentic Ebola virus\, but could be handled safely under non-biosafety level-4 containment. Besides being an important research tool\, Halfmann demonstrated that the biologically-contained virus could also be used as a whole-virus vaccine to protect against Ebola virus infection. \nIn 2008\, Halfmann earned his Ph.D. and decided to continue his research with Dr. Kawaoka. He received biosafety level-4 training at the NIAID’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories from Dr. Heinz Feldmann. As part of his high containment research\, he continued to evaluate his Ebola vaccine. During the height of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa\, Halfmann established a research lab at 34 Military Hospital in Freetown\, Sierra Leone to examine the body’s responses to Ebola virus infection. Currently\, Halfmann is a Research Associate Professor at the Influenza Research Institute (part of the University of Wisconsin) and manages the Ebola research efforts in the Kawaoka group. With support from the Japanese government\, his vaccine is currently being produced at Waisman Biomanufacturing for a human clinical research trial in Japan. Peter still travels to Sierra Leone to follow-up with Ebola survivors and to conduct surveillance studies to identify neglected and novel viruses circulating in Sierra Leone. \nAbout The Wiley Network \nWiley believes the most successful individuals never stop learning.

They also know that the highest cost for maternity care is when a pre-term infant (those born at less than 39 completed weeks of gestation) is treated in the neonatal intensive care unit. For this reason\, employers nationwide want hospitals to reduce the number of early elective deliveries\, which increase the chances for complications for babies and mothers and and preventing C-sections whenever possible. A maternal complication during delivery adds almost $1\,000 to the cost of care\, while an uncomplicated C-section adds nearly $2\,000 to the bill. \n\n\nSuzanne F.

About 2 million Americans annually contract an antibiotic resistant bacteria and 23\,000 die\, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. \nIn some cases\, resistant bacteria have already meant patients are living in a “post-antibiotic” world. In 2016\, a Nevada woman died after developing an illness from bacteria that were resistant to all approved antibiotics in the U.S. \nHow are these bugs spreading? What is the U.S. doing to halt their spread? And how can reporters cover antibiotic resistance in their communities?

He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. He completed a clinical fellowship in infectious diseases at the University of California\, San Francisco. \nMichael Craig leads the coordination of CDC’s cross-cutting antibiotic resistance activities by developing and guiding CDC’s strategic direction to address national goals to combat antibiotic resistance. Craig serves on the President’s Advisory Committee for Combatting Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (PACCARB)\, and works closely with leadership within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to align public health activities related to antibiotic resistance across multiple federal agencies.

Self-perception affects a person’s physical and mental well-being – from timeliness of seeking care to feelings about themselves\, their partners\, and other older adults. \nJacqui Smith\, Ph.D.\, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging\, and co-author of several of the studies\, will discuss how self-perceptions of aging affect health and the role the media plays in reinforcing those perceptions. \n\n\nJacqui Smith\, Ph.D.\, professor of psychology\, University of Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging \n\n\nModerator: Liz Seegert\, AHCJ topic leader on aging \n\n\nSmith’s research deals with the potential and limits of development and change during adulthood and old age. She uses experimental and survey methodologies to investigate age-cohort differences and age-related change in cognitive functioning\, self-regulation\, and well-being. Her current research focuses on psychological vitality in the Third and Fourth Age (65 to 100 )\, psychological predictors of longevity\, individual differences in intra-person psychological dynamics\, and the application of intelligence\, cognition\, and life knowledge (wisdom) during adulthood. \nHere is some of the research Smith will be discussing from the Aug. 2 issue of The Gerontologist: \n\n\nSelf-Perceptions of Aging and Perceived Barriers to Care: Reasons for Health Care Delay — Sun\, Smith\, et. al. \n\n\nAge Differences in Explicit and Implicit Age Attitudes Across the Life Span – Chopik\, Glasson \n\n\nAge Group Differences in Perceived Age Discrimination: Associations With Self-Perceptions of Aging — Glasson\, Queen\, et. al. \n\n\nCouples’ Shared Beliefs About Aging and Implications for Future Functional Limitations — Mejia\, Gonzalez \n\n\n \n\nJacqui Smith \n\n\nLiz Seegert \n\n  URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/webcast-confronting-self-perceptions-of-aging/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
