THESE FOCUS GROUPS AND LISTENING SESSIONS WERE ORGANIZED IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER BETH ISRAEL LAHEY HEALTH (BILH) HOSPITALS.BID PLYMOUTH WAS INTENTIONAL IN ENSURING THAT VARIED EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVES, REFLECTIVE OF BID PLYMOUTH'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 INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH A FOCUS ON COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVENESS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SURVEY WAS ADMINISTERED ONLINE AND VIA HARD COPY IN THIRTEEN LANGUAGES. FURTHERMORE, EXTENSIVE OUTREACH WAS CONDUCTED VIA SOCIAL MEDIA, INSTITUTIONAL NEWSLETTERS, EMAILS TO LARGE NETWORKS, PUBLIC LIBRARIES, COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND PUBLIC AND/OR SENIOR HOUSING BUILDINGS TO HELP ENSURE APPROPRIATE REPRESENTATION IN THE CHNA. THE BID PLYMOUTH 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. 2025 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS--REVIEWING RESULTS AND COMPILING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY DOCUMENTSTHE BID PLYMOUTH'S CBAC WAS ENGAGED AT THE OUTSET OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING AND REPORTING PHASE OF THE PROJECT. THE CBAC WAS UPDATED ON ASSESSMENT PROGRESS AND WAS PROVIDED WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO VET AND COMMENT ON PRELIMINARY FINDINGS. THE CBAC THEN PARTICIPATED IN A PRIORITIZATION PROCESS USING A SET OF ANONYMOUS POLLS, WHICH ALLOWED THEM TO IDENTIFY A SET OF COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES AND POPULATION COHORTS THAT THEY BELIEVED SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR PRIORITIZATION AS BID PLYMOUTH DEVELOPED ITS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY (IS). AFTER PRIORITIZATION WITH THE CBAC, A COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSION WAS ORGANIZED WITH THE PUBLIC-AT-LARGE, INCLUDING COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, REPRESENTATIVES FROM CLINICAL AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE CBSA. USING THE SAME SET OF ANONYMOUS POLLS, COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSION PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED TO PRIORITIZE THE ISSUES THAT THEY BELIEVED WERE MOST IMPORTANT. THE SESSION ALSO ALLOWED PARTICIPANTS TO SHARE THEIR IDEAS ON EXISTING COMMUNITY STRENGTHS AND ASSETS, AS WELL AS THE SERVICES, PROGRAMS, AND STRATEGIES THAT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED. THE CBAC ANALYZED LISTENING SESSION DATA AND INTEGRATED COMMUNITY INPUT INTO THE FINAL PRIORITIZATION. AFTER THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, A CHNA REPORT WAS DEVELOPED, AND BID PLYMOUTH'S EXISTING IS WAS AUGMENTED, REVISED, AND TAILORED. WHEN DEVELOPING THE IS, BID PLYMOUTH'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS STAFF RETAINED COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVES THAT WORKED WELL AND ALIGNED WITH THE PRIORITIES FROM THE 2025 CHNA. AFTER DRAFTS OF THE BID PLYMOUTH CHNA REPORT AND IS WERE DEVELOPED, THEY WERE SHARED WITH BID PLYMOUTH'S SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM FOR INPUT AND COMMENT. THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS STAFF THEN REVIEWED THESE INPUTS AND INCORPORATED ELEMENTS, AS APPROPRIATE, BEFORE THE FINAL 2025 CHNA REPORT AND 2026-2028 IS WERE SUBMITTED TO BID PLYMOUTH'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR APPROVAL. AFTER THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FORMALLY APPROVED THE 2025 CHNA REPORT AND ADOPTED 2026-2028 IS, THESE DOCUMENTS WERE POSTED ON BID PLYMOUTH'S WEBSITE, ALONGSIDE THE 2022 CHNA REPORT AND 2023-2025 IS, FOR EASY VIEWING AND DOWNLOAD. AS WITH ALL BID PLYMOUTH CHNA PROCESSES, THESE DOCUMENTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC WHENEVER REQUESTED, ANONYMOUSLY AND FREE OF CHARGE. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS STAFF HAVE MECHANISMS IN PLACE TO RECEIVE WRITTEN COMMENTS ON THE MOST RECENT CHNA AND IS, ALTHOUGH NO COMMENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED SINCE THE LAST CHNA AND IS WERE MADE AVAILABLE2025 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS--KEY FINDINGSBID PLYMOUTH'S PRIORITY COHORTS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA CONDUCTED DURING THE PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2025, WERE:- YOUTH - OLDER ADULTS - LOW-RESOURCED POPULATIONS - INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH DISABILITIES - RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE POPULATIONS BID PLYMOUTH'S CHNA RESULTED IN KEY FINDINGS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: - EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CARE: IN THE CONTEXT OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, SYSTEMIC FACTORS INCLUDE A BROAD RANGE OF DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS THAT INFLUENCE A PERSON'S ABILITY TO ACCESS TIMELY, EQUITABLE, ACCESSIBLE, AND HIGH-QUALITY SERVICES. THERE IS A GROWING APPRECIATION FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE FACTORS AS THEY ARE SEEN AS CRITICAL TO ENSURING THAT PEOPLE CAN FIND, ACCESS, AND ENGAGE IN THE SERVICES THEY NEED, COMMUNICATE WITH CLINICAL AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND TRANSITION SEAMLESSLY FROM ONE SERVICE SETTING TO ANOTHER. THE ASSESSMENT GATHERED INFORMATION RELATED TO PERCEPTIONS OF SERVICE GAPS, BARRIERS TO ACCESS (E.G., COST OF CARE, HEALTH INSURANCE STATUS, LANGUAGE ACCESS, CULTURAL COMPETENCE), CARE COORDINATION, AND INFORMATION SHARING.- 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 HOUSING, FOOD INSECURITY, ECONOMIC INSECURITY, EDUCATION, 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, SURVEYS, AND THE LISTENING SESSION REINFORCED THAT THESE ISSUES HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON HEALTH STATUS AND ACCESS TO CARE IN THE REGION - ESPECIALLY ISSUES RELATED TO HOUSING, FOOD INSECURITY/NUTRITION, TRANSPORTATION, 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). SUBSTANCE USE CONTINUED TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE BID PLYMOUTH'S 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. INTERVIEWEES, FOCUS GROUPS, AND COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSION PARTICIPANTS 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). IN THE COMMONWEALTH, CHRONIC CONDITIONS LIKE CANCER, HEART DISEASE, CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE, AND STROKE ACCOUNT FOR FOUR OF THE SIX LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH STATEWIDE, AND IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN $41 BILLION IN ANNUAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC DISEASE. 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, 2025,	AND THE ASSOCIATED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ADOPTED FROM THIS PROCESS WERE DESIGNED TO INFORM BID PLYMOUTH'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS INITIATIVES DURING THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2026, SEPTEMBER 30, 2027, AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2028.

THROUGHOUT THE CHNA PROCESS, EFFORTS WERE MADE TO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES ENCOMPASSING BID PLYMOUTH'S CBSA, ESPECIALLY THE POPULATION SEGMENTS THAT ARE OFTEN DISADVANTAGED, FACE DISPARITIES IN HEALTH-RELATED OUTCOMES, AND WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED. BID PLYMOUTH'S UNDERSTANDING OF THESE COMMUNITIES' NEEDS IS DERIVED FROM COLLECTING A WIDE RANGE OF QUANTITATIVE DATA TO IDENTIFY DISPARITIES AND CLARIFY THE NEEDS OF SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES AND COMPARING IT AGAINST DATA COLLECTED AT THE REGIONAL, AND STATE LEVELS WHEREVER POSSIBLE TO SUPPORT ANALYSIS AND THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, AS WELL AS EMPLOYING A VARIETY OF STRATEGIES TO ENSURE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE INFORMED, CONSULTED, INVOLVED, AND EMPOWERED THROUGHOUT THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS. THE CHNA AND IS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WAS GUIDED BY THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES: EQUITY, COLLABORATION, ENGAGEMENT, CAPACITY BUILDING, AND INTENTIONALITY.BETWEEN OCTOBER 2021 AND FEBRUARY 2022, BID PLYMOUTH CONDUCTED 17 ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS WITH KEY COLLABORATORS IN THE COMMUNITY, FACILITATED 4 FOCUS GROUPS WITH SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION FACING THE GREATEST HEALTH-RELATED DISPARITIES, ADMINISTERED A COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY INVOLVING MORE THAN 460 RESIDENTS, AND ORGANIZED TWO COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSIONS.

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 PLYMOUTH'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. 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS--FOCUS GROUPS AND COMMUNITY FORUMS (SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5)BID PLYMOUTH CONDUCTED 4 COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS AND HELD TWO COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSIONS THAT ENGAGED 226 RESIDENTS IN BID PLYMOUTH'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS SERVICE AREA (CBSA) TO GATHER CRITICAL COMMUNITY INPUT FROM COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS. THESE FOCUS GROUPS AND LISTENING SESSIONS WERE ORGANIZED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SOUTH SHORE COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN PREVENTION (CHNA 23), ALGONQUIN HEIGHTS, NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS (NAMI) PLYMOUTH AND THE HEALING STUDY WORKGROUP. BID PLYMOUTH HAS BEEN INTENTIONAL IN ENSURING THAT VARIED EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVES, REFLECTIVE OF BID PLYMOUTH'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 SENIOR CENTERS, PARTNER NEWSLETTERS, EMAILS TO LARGE NETWORKS, PUBLIC LIBRARIES, AND TARGETED OUTREACH TO POPULATIONS NEVER BEFORE ENGAGED TO HELP ENSURE DIVERSE REPRESENTATION IN THE CHNA. THE BID PLYMOUTH 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.
2022 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 PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY BENEFITS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CBAC) AND HELD A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY FORUM PRESENTING RESULTS.- IDENTIFY BID PLYMOUTH'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PRIORITY COHORTS, GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES.- ANALYZE BID PLYMOUTH'S EXISTING COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES WHICH WERE INFORMED BY THE 2019 CHNA AND SUBSEQUENT 2020 2022 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY THAT WERE COMPLETED BY BID PLYMOUTH 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).2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS--KEY FINDINGSTHE KEY PRIORITY COHORTS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA CONDUCTED DURING THE PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, WERE:- YOUTH - OLDER ADULTS - LOW-RESOURCED POPULATIONS - INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES - RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE POPULATIONSBID PLYMOUTH'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 HEALTHCARE 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, 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.

GIVEN THE COMPLEX HEALTH ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY, BID PLYMOUTH HAS BEEN STRATEGIC IN IDENTIFYING ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAM AND WORK TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF RESIDENTS IN ITS CBSA. GOALS FOR EACH PRIORITY AREA ARE LISTED BELOW.PRIORITY AREA 1: EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CARE - PROVIDE EQUITABLE AND COMPREHENSIVE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY HEALTH CARE SERVICES INCLUDING PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY CARE, AS WELL AS URGENT AND EMERGING CARE, PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE WHO FACE CULTURAL, LINGUISTIC, AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS. PRIORITY AREA 2: SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH - ENHANCE THE BUILT, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTS WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, WORK, PLAY, AND LEARN IN ORDER TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OUTCOMES. PRIORITY AREA 3: MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE - PROMOTE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELLNESS BY FOSTERING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES AND BUILDING EQUITABLE, ACCESSIBLE, AND SUPPORTIVE SYSTEMS OF CARE TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE. PRIORITY AREA 4: CHRONIC AND COMPLEX CONDITIONS - IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES AND REDUCE DISPARITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS-AT-RISK FOR OR LIVING WITH CHRONIC AND/OR COMPLEX CONDITIONS AND CAREGIVERS BY ENHANCING ACCESS TO SCREENING, REFERRAL SERVICES, COORDINATED HEALTH AND SUPPORT SERVICES, MEDICATIONS, AND OTHER RESOURCES.
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT--APPROACH TO ADDRESSING HEALTH NEEDS	(SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11)BID PLYMOUTH HAS TAKEN A HOLISTIC AND STRATEGIC APPROACH IN ADDRESSING THE HEALTH PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA AND ASSOCIATED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY BY CREATING, SUPPORTING AND INVESTING IN HEALTH PROGRAMMING AND INITIATIVES THROUGHOUT ITS CBSA. BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES BID PLYMOUTH OPERATES AND SUPPORTS IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES AMONG ITS FOCUS COHORTS THROUGHOUT ITS CBSA.BID PLYMOUTH HAS BEEN A LEADER IN CREATING MANY COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. DUE TO THE INCREASE IN HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING INSECURITY, BID PLYMOUTH HAS SUPPORTED OVERNIGHTS OF HOSPITALITY THROUGH FATHER BILL'S & MAINSPRING. IN FY25, THIS SEASONAL SHELTER PROVIDED SAFE SHELTER, HOT MEALS, AND WRAPAROUND SUPPORT SERVICES TO 90 UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. FOOD INSECURITY AND THE RISING COST OF HEALTHY FOODS HAS MADE IT CHALLENGING FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING FOOD INSECURITY TO EAT HEALTHY. IN RESPONSE, IN FY25, THE COMMUNITY DIETICIAN FOR BID PLYMOUTH ENGAGED OVER 800 ADULTS AND FAMILIES PRESENTING WITH FOOD INSECURITY THROUGH PROGRAMS TO LEARN ABOUT LOW-COST, HEALTHY NUTRITION RESOURCES AND OFFERED FREE TOOLS FOR FOOD PREPARATION. OTHER EXAMPLES OF SUCCESS ARE LISTED IN THE SUBSEQUENT SCHEDULE H IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY UPDATE. BID PLYMOUTH IS ROOTED IN PROVIDING HEALTHCARE TO POPULATIONS WHO HAVE HISTORICALLY NOT HAD ADEQUATE ACCESS TO CARE. LOCATED IN A SUBURBAN AREA, TWO OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO ACCESS ARE TRANSPORTATION AND LANGUAGE. BID PLYMOUTH RESPONDED TO THE TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY PROGRAM CALLED TAKING PEOPLE PLACES. THIS PROGRAM UTILIZES LYFT AND RECEIVES PARTIAL STATE MATCHING FUNDS FOR ADULTS AGED 60 AND OVER, AND THOSE PRESENTING WITH A DISABILITY. IN FY25, A TOTAL OF 686 RIDES: 410 RIDES WERE FOR PEOPLE 60 AND OLDER, AND 276 RIDES WERE FOR PEOPLE WITH A DISABILITY. BOTH GROUPS DID NOT HAVE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM FOR ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE. AS FOR THE INCREASE IN THE NEED FOR INTERPRETER SERVICES, BID PLYMOUTH MET THE DEMAND USING IN-PERSON/ON-SITE INTERPRETERS, TELEPHONIC/OVER THE PHONE (OPI) AND VIDEO REMOTE INTERPRETATION (VRI) SYSTEM, RESULTING IN 10,131 ENCOUNTERS. BID PLYMOUTH HAS FOCUSED ITS EFFORTS ON CREATING FOCUSED PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS CHRONIC DISEASES SUCH AS CANCER AND HIV. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE CANCER SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR THOSE LIVING WITH CANCER AND THE ACCESS PROGRAM FOR THOSE LIVING WITH HIV AND/OR AIDS. THE CANCER SUPPORT PROGRAM ENGAGES PATIENTS WITH EMOTIONAL AND/OR FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AND PROVIDES COUNSELING, TRANSPORTATION, WIGS, NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT AND ANY OTHER NEEDED RESOURCES TO ALLEVIATE STRESS. THE ACCESS PROGRAM PROVIDES PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE TO HIV/AIDS CLIENTS. CARE INCLUDES PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS; ADHERENCE AND TREATMENT COUNSELING; LABORATORY TESTING; IMMUNIZATIONS AND SCREENING; REFERRALS TO SPECIALTY CARE AND CLINICAL TRIALS; MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY, AND MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT. IN FY25, 99.2% OF THE PATIENTS WERE VIRALLY SUPPRESSED. DETAILS OF THESE AND OTHER BID PLYMOUTH PROGRAMS ADDRESSING CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT ARE INCLUDED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY UPDATE BELOW. AMONG THE MANY WAYS BID PLYMOUTH AND ITS COMMUNITY PARTNERS ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS IS BY GROWING ITS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTEGRATED CARE INITIATIVE. SOCIAL WORK CONNECTS WITH PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, AN ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSE PRACTITIONER WITH MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING, AND A PSYCHIATRIST TO INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SCREENING, ASSESSMENT, AND TREATMENT SERVICES INTO THE PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES. RESULTS OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTEGRATED CARE INITIATIVE SHOW THAT MORE PATIENTS WITH UNMET HEALTH NEEDS ARE ACCESSING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. A FULL UPDATE ON BID PLYMOUTH'S HEALTH PRIORITIES AND ASSOCIATED GOALS IS INCLUDED BELOW. SCHEDULE H--COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACCOMPLISHMENTS -- IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY UPDATEKEY: BASELINE-2023, YEAR 1-2024, YEAR 2-2025PRIORITY AREA 1: EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CARE IN THE FY25 CHNA, INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED SEVERAL BARRIERS TO ACCESSING AND NAVIGATING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. MANY OF THESE BARRIERS WERE AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL, MEANING THE ISSUES STEM FROM HOW 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 FORGO 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. FINALLY, TRANSPORTATION WAS ALSO IDENTIFIED AS A SIGNIFICANT BARRIER, RATHER A BROAD ARRAY OF INTERRELATED ISSUES INCLUDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, EDUCATION, CRIME, AND COMMUNITY COHESION. GOAL: PROVIDE EQUITABLE AND COMPREHENSIVE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY HEALTH CARE SERVICES INCLUDING PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY CARE, AS WELL AS URGENT AND EMERGING CARE, PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE WHO FACE CULTURAL, LINGUISTIC, AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS. STRATEGIES: - PROMOTE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, HEALTH INSURANCE, PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELORS, AND NEEDED MEDICATIONS FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED. - PROMOTE EQUITABLE CARE, HEALTH EQUITY, AND HEALTH LITERACY FOR PATIENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO FACE CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC BARRIERS.

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 ON SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. DESPITE THIS, INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS, LISTENING SESSIONS, AND THE BID PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY REINFORCED THAT THESE ISSUES HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON HEALTH STATUS AND ACCESS TO CARE IN THE REGION - ESPECIALLY ISSUES RELATED TO HOUSING, ECONOMIC INSTABILITY, TRANSPORTATION, AND FOOD INSECURITY/NUTRITION.GOAL: ENHANCE THE BUILT, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTS WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, WORK, PLAY, AND LEARN IN ORDER TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND QUALITY-OF-LIFE OUTCOMES.

PRIORITY AREA 3: MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE	ANXIETY, CHRONIC STRESS, DEPRESSION, AND SOCIAL ISOLATION WERE LEADING COMMUNITY HEALTH CONCERNS. THERE WERE SPECIFIC CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ON YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS 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. YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH WAS A CRITICAL CONCERN IN THE CBSA, INCLUDING THE SIGNIFICANT PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC STRESS, ANXIETY, AND BEHAVIORAL ISSUES. THESE CONDITIONS WERE EXACERBATED OVER THE PANDEMIC, DUE TO ISOLATION, UNCERTAINTY, REMOTE LEARNING, AND FAMILY DYNAMICS. SUBSTANCE USE CONTINUED TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE BID PLYMOUTH 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 (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). GOAL: PROMOTE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELLNESS BY FOSTERING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES AND BUILDING EQUITABLE, ACCESSIBLE, AND SUPPORTIVE SYSTEMS OF CARE TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE. STRATEGIES: - ENHANCE AND EXPLORE RELATIONSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS, YOUTH SERVING ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO BUILD RESILIENCY, COPING, AND PREVENTION SKILLS. - PARTICIPATE IN MULTI-SECTOR COMMUNITY COALITIONS TO IDENTIFY AND ADVOCATE FOR POLICY, SYSTEMS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES TO INCREASE RESILIENCY, REDUCE SUBSTANCE USE, OVERDOSES & DEATHS. - BUILD THE CAPACITY OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND EMERGENCY SERVICES TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH, AND REDUCE NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES, BIAS, AND STIGMA AROUND MENTAL ILLNESS AND SUBSTANCE USE. - PROVIDE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY AND CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE SERVICES THROUGH SCREENING, MONITORING, COUNSELING, NAVIGATION, AND TREATMENT.

PRIORITY AREA 4: CHRONIC AND COMPLEX CONDITIONS	CHRONIC CONDITIONS SUCH AS CANCER, DIABETES, CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE, STROKE, AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE CONTRIBUTE TO 56% OF ALL MORTALITY IN MASSACHUSETTS 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. INPATIENT DISCHARGE RATES VARY ACROSS CONDITIONS AND COMMUNITIES. RATES ARE LOWER IN DUXBURY COMPARED TO THE COMMONWEALTH OVERALL. RATES IN CARVER ARE HIGHER THAN IN THE COMMONWEALTH IN ALL CATEGORIES, EXCEPT FOR DIABETES. GOAL: IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES AND REDUCE DISPARITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS AT-RISK FOR OR LIVING WITH CHRONIC AND/OR COMPLEX CONDITIONS AND CAREGIVERS BY ENHANCING ACCESS TO SCREENING, REFERRAL SERVICES, COORDINATED HEALTH AND SUPPORT SERVICES, MEDICATIONS, AND OTHER RESOURCES. STRATEGIES: - PROVIDE PREVENTATIVE HEALTH INFORMATION, SERVICES, AND SUPPORT FOR THOSE AT RISK FOR COMPLEX AND/OR CHRONIC CONDITIONS AND SUPPORT EVIDENCE-BASED CHRONIC DISEASE TREATMENT AND SELF-MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. - ENSURE CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO COORDINATED HEALTH & SUPPORT SERVICES AND RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THEM. - ADDRESS CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT THROUGH HEALTH AND NUTRITION EDUCATION.

HOWEVER, IN RESPONSE TO SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11, THERE WERE SOME NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE MOST RECENT CHNA THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY MOST RECENTLY ADOPTED BY BID PLYMOUTH DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 (TAX YEAR 2024) AND WHICH WILL INFORM BID PLYMOUTH'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES FOR THE FISCAL PERIODS SEPTEMBER 30, 2026, SEPTEMBER 30, 2027 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2028. NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THAT CHNA WHICH WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED ARE TICK-BORNE ILLNESSES, EXPOSURE TO TOXINS, AND STRENGTHENING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT (I.E., IMPROVING ROADS/SIDEWALKS) WERE IDENTIFIED AS COMMUNITY NEEDS BUT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN BID PLYMOUTH'S IS. WHILE THESE ISSUES ARE IMPORTANT, BID PLYMOUTH'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.

THESE AMOUNTS ARE DUE FROMPATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS (INCLUDING MANAGED CARE PAYORS AND GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS), AND OTHERSAND INCLUDE AN ESTIMATE OF VARIABLE CONSIDERATION FOR RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO SETTLEMENTOF AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. GENERALLY, THE SYSTEM BILLS THE PATIENTS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYORSSEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE SERVICES ARE PERFORMED AND/OR THE PATIENT IS DISCHARGED FROM THE SYSTEM'SFACILITY.REVENUE IS RECOGNIZED AS PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE SATISFIED. PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS AREDETERMINED BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE SYSTEM. REVENUE FOR PERFORMANCEOBLIGATIONS SATISFIED OVER TIME IS RECOGNIZED BASED ON ACTUAL CHARGES INCURRED IN RELATION TO TOTALEXPECTED (OR ACTUAL) CHARGES. THE SYSTEM BELIEVES THAT THIS METHOD PROVIDES A REASONABLEREPRESENTATION OF THE TRANSFER OF SERVICES OVER THE TERM OF THE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION BASED ON THEINPUTS NEEDED TO SATISFY THE OBLIGATION. GENERALLY, PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS SATISFIED OVER TIME RELATE TOINPATIENT SERVICES. THE SYSTEM MEASURES THE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION FROM ADMISSION INTO THE HOSPITAL,OR COMMENCEMENT OF A PATIENT SERVICE, TO THE POINT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SERVICES TOTHAT PATIENT, WHICH IS GENERALLY AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE OR COMPLETION OF THE OUTPATIENT SERVICES. PATIENTENCOUNTERS AND RELATED EPISODES OF CARE AND PROCEDURES QUALIFY AS DISTINCT GOODS AND SERVICES,PROVIDED SIMULTANEOUSLY TOGETHER WITH OTHER READILY AVAILABLE RESOURCES, IN A SINGLE INSTANCE OF SERVICE,AND THEREBY CONSTITUTE A SINGLE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION FOR EACH PATIENT ENCOUNTER AND, IN MOSTINSTANCES, OCCUR AT READILY DETERMINABLE TRANSACTION PRICES. ALL SERVICES PROVIDED ARE EXPECTED TO RESULTIN CASH FLOWS AND ARE THEREFORE REFLECTED AS NET REVENUE IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.THE INITIAL ESTIMATE OF THE TRANSACTION PRICE IS DETERMINED BY REDUCING THE STANDARD CHARGE BY ANYCONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS, DISCOUNTS, AND IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS. THE ESTIMATES OF CONTRACTUALADJUSTMENTS AND DISCOUNTS ARE BASED ON CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS, DISCOUNT POLICIES AND HISTORICAL CASHCOLLECTION EXPERIENCE. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STANDARD CHARGES AND ESTIMATED TRANSACTION PRICE AREGENERALLY RECORDED AS ADJUSTMENTS TO PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN THE PERIOD OF THE CHANGE AND AREACCRUED ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTUREPERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED. ADJUSTMENTS ARISING FROM A CHANGE IN THE TRANSACTION PRICEWERE NOT SIGNIFICANT DURING THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, FOR 2025 OR 2024.REVENUES UNDER THE TRADITIONAL FEE FOR SERVICE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS ARE BASED PRIMARILY ONPROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEMS. RETROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED COST-BASED REVENUES UNDER THESEPROGRAMS, WHICH WERE MORE PREVALENT IN EARLIER PERIODS, AND CERTAIN OTHER PAYMENTS, SUCH ASDISPROPORTIONATE SHARE HOSPITAL AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT, WHICH ARE BASED ON OURHOSPITALS' COST REPORTS, ARE ESTIMATED USING HISTORICAL TRENDS AND CURRENT FACTORS. COST REPORTSETTLEMENTS UNDER THESE PROGRAMS ARE SUBJECT TO AUDIT BY MEDICARE AND MEDICAID AUDITORS ANDADMINISTRATIVE AND JUDICIAL REVIEW, AND IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL YEARS UNTIL FINAL SETTLEMENT OF SUCH MATTERS ISDETERMINED AND COMPLETELY RESOLVED. THE SYSTEM RECORDS ACCRUALS TO REFLECT THE EXPECTED FINALSETTLEMENTS ON COST REPORTS. FOR FILED COST REPORTS, THE ACCRUAL IS RECORDED BASED ON THOSE COST REPORTSAND SUBSEQUENT ACTIVITY. THE ACCRUAL FOR PERIODS FOR WHICH A COST REPORT IS YET TO BE FILED IS RECORDEDBASED ON ESTIMATES OF WHAT THE SYSTEM EXPECTS TO REPORT ON THE FILED COST REPORTS. AFTER THE COST REPORTIS FILED, THE ACCRUAL MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.SETTLEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS FOR RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO AUDITS, REVIEWS ORINVESTIGATIONS ARE CONSIDERED VARIABLE CONSIDERATION AND ARE INCLUDED IN THE DETERMINATION OF THEESTIMATED TRANSACTION PRICE FOR PROVIDING PATIENT CARE USING THE MOST LIKELY OUTCOME METHOD. THESESETTLEMENTS ARE ESTIMATED BASED ON THE TERMS OF THE PAYMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE PAYOR,CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE PAYOR AND HISTORICAL SETTLEMENT ACTIVITY, INCLUDING AN ASSESSMENT TO ENSURETHAT IT IS PROBABLE THAT A SIGNIFICANT REVERSAL IN THE AMOUNT OF CUMULATIVE REVENUE RECOGNIZED WILL NOTOCCUR WHEN THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENT IS SUBSEQUENTLY RESOLVED.ESTIMATED SETTLEMENTS ARE ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS ADJUSTMENTS BECOME KNOWN, OR AS YEARS ARESETTLED OR ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO SUCH AUDITS, REVIEWS AND INVESTIGATIONS.THE SYSTEM IS NOT AWARE OF ANY MATERIAL CLAIMS, DISPUTES, OR UNSETTLED MATTERS WITH ANY PAYORS THATWOULD AFFECT REVENUES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY PROVIDED FOR AND DISCLOSED IN THE ACCOMPANYINGCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BECAUSE THE LAWS, REGULATIONS, INSTRUCTIONS AND RULE INTERPRETATIONSGOVERNING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT ARE COMPLEX, SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION AND CANCHANGE FREQUENTLY, THE ESTIMATES RECORDED COULD CHANGE BY MATERIAL AMOUNTS.CONSISTENT WITH THE SYSTEM'S MISSION, CARE IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THESYSTEM HAS DETERMINED IT HAS PROVIDED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS AND PATIENTSWITH OTHER UNINSURED BALANCES (E.G., COPAYS AND DEDUCTIBLES). THE IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS INCLUDEDIN ESTIMATING THE TRANSACTION PRICE REPRESENT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMOUNTS BILLED TO PATIENTS AND THEAMOUNTS THE SYSTEM EXPECTS TO COLLECT BASED ON ITS COLLECTION HISTORY WITH THOSE PATIENTS. PATIENTS WHOMEET THE SYSTEM'S CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CARE ARE PROVIDED CARE WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THANESTABLISHED RATES. THE SYSTEM HAS DETERMINED THAT IT HAS PROVIDED SUFFICIENT IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONSFOR THESE ACCOUNTS. PRICE CONCESSIONS, INCLUDING CHARITY CARE, ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE.PATIENTS WHO ARE COVERED BY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RELATED CO-PAYS, CO-INSURANCE ANDDEDUCTIBLES, WHICH VARY IN AMOUNT. THE SYSTEM ESTIMATES THE TRANSACTION PRICE FOR PATIENTS WITHCO-PAYS, CO-INSURANCE AND DEDUCTIBLES AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTIONEXPERIENCE AND CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS. THE DISCOUNT OFFERED TO CERTAIN UNINSURED PATIENTS ISRECOGNIZED AS A CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCE, WHICH REDUCES NET OPERATING REVENUES AT THE TIME THE SELF-PAYACCOUNTS ARE RECORDED. THE UNINSURED PATIENT ACCOUNTS, NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES RECORDED, ARE FURTHER REDUCED TO THEIR NET REALIZABLE VALUE AT THE TIME THEY ARE RECORDED THROUGH IMPLICIT PRICECONCESSIONS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION TRENDS FOR SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS AND OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT THEESTIMATION PROCESS. ALTHOUGH OUTCOMES VARY, THE SYSTEM'S POLICY IS TO ATTEMPT TO COLLECT AMOUNTS DUEFROM PATIENTS, INCLUDING CO-PAYS, CO-INSURANCE AND DEDUCTIBLES DUE FROM PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE, AT THETIME OF SERVICE WHILE COMPLYING WITH ALL FEDERAL AND STATE STATUTES AND REGULATIONS.OTHER REVENUE INCLUDES CONTRIBUTIONS AND NET ASSETS RELEASED FROM RESTRICTIONS AS WELL AS CAFETERIA ANDPARKING INCOME.

DETAIL ON RESEARCH EFFORTS WHICH WERE UNDERTAKEN AT BIDMC DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING ARE BELOW. 1. MORE AMERICANS ARE UNAWARE THEY HAVE DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, CHOLESTEROLIN A NEW REPORT PUBLISHED IN JAMA CARDIOLOGY, HEALTH POLICY EXPERTS AT BIDMC'S RICHARD A. AND SUSAN F. SMITH CENTER FOR OUTCOMES RESEARCH SHOWED THAT MANY U.S. ADULTS ARE UNAWARE THEY HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES OR HIGH CHOLESTEROL -- THREE MAJOR RISK FACTORS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND DEATH. THE PROPORTION OF AMERICANS UNAWARE THEY HAVE HYPERTENSION HAS RISEN OVER THE PAST DECADE, ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUNGER ADULTS AND WOMEN."YOUNG ADULTS WERE THE MOST LIKELY TO NOT REALIZE THAT THEY HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES, OR HIGH CHOLESTEROL," SAID RISHI WADHERA, MD, MPP, MPHIL, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF THE SMITH CENTER. "IT'S ESPECIALLY CONCERNING THAT ONE IN THREE YOUNG ADULTS WERE UNAWARE OF THEIR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, TWO IN FIVE DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD DIABETES, AND ONE IN FOUR WERE UNAWARE OF HAVING HIGH CHOLESTEROL. THAT'S A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE."THE ANALYSIS INCLUDED MORE THAN 15,000 ADULTS, MOSTLY MIDDLE-AGED, WHO HAD AT LEAST ONE RISK FACTOR IDENTIFIED THROUGH PHYSICAL EXAMS OR LAB TESTING. THE PROPORTION WITH HYPERTENSION -- A CONDITION THAT'S OFTEN SYMPTOMLESS -- WHO WERE UNAWARE OF IT ROSE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE DECADE-LONG STUDY PERIOD; AWARENESS OF DIABETES AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL DIDN'T CHANGE.BUT WHEN WADHERA AND COLLEAGUES BROKE DOWN THE DATA BY AGE, THE RISE IN HYPERTENSION UNAWARENESS APPEARED ONLY AMONG ADULTS AGES 20 TO 44, WITH NO CHANGE AMONG THOSE OLDER THAN 45. BY SEX, UNAWARENESS ROSE AMONG WOMEN BUT NOT MEN."GIVEN DECLINING HEART HEALTH IN YOUNG ADULTS, IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE INTENSIFY PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGING TO THIS GROUP ON THE IMPORTANCE OF SCREENING FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES, AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL," SAID DANIEL JOHNSON, LEAD AUTHOR OF THE STUDY AND RESEARCH FELLOW AT THE SMITH CENTER. "WE NEED TO ADDRESS GAPS IN AWARENESS EARLY IN LIFE TO PREVENT THE ONSET OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, OR WORSE, LATER IN LIFE."2. STUDY MIMICKING LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION COMMON IN ICU PATIENTS SHOWS POTENTIAL PROTECTIVE ROLE OF IMMUNE CELLSACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (ARDS) DREW WIDE ATTENTION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AS A LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE CASES. NOW, A PRECLINICAL STUDY FROM BIDMC REVEALS A NOVEL APPROACH TO MITIGATING LUNG DAMAGE CAUSED BY PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH OXYGEN LEVELS--A CONDITION THAT MIMICS KEY FEATURES OF ARDS, INCLUDING WIDESPREAD INFLAMMATION AND DAMAGE TO THE LUNGS.IN FINDINGS PUBLISHED IN ANESTHESIA AND ANALGESIA, THE INVESTIGATORS DEMONSTRATED THAT A SINGLE ADMINISTRATION OF B CELLS DECREASED THE SEVERITY OF LUNG INJURY, IMPROVED OXYGENATION AND PROMOTED A MORE BALANCED IMMUNE RESPONSE (IMPROVED IMMUNE FUNCTION WITHOUT THE RISK OF RUNAWAY INFLAMMATION) IN A SMALL ANIMAL MODEL OF ARDS. B CELLS ARE A TYPE OF WHITE BLOOD CELL THAT PLAY A CENTRAL ROLE IN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM BY PRODUCING ANTIBODIES, BUT THEY ALSO HELP REGULATE IMMUNE RESPONSES BY COORDINATING WITH OTHER CELLS OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND CALMING EXCESSIVE INFLAMMATION."ARDS DEVELOPS IN AT LEAST ONE IN TEN MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, AND HAS A HIGH MORTALITY RATE," SAID LEAD AUTHOR DUSAN HANIDZIAR, MD, PHD, A POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW IN THE CENTER FOR INFLAMMATION RESEARCH AT BIDMC. "NEW, TARGETED TREATMENTS NEED TO BE DEVELOPED FOR CLINICAL USE, AND WE'RE EXCITED THAT OUR DATA SUGGEST HARNESSING THE FUNCTIONS OF THE B CELL MAY REPRESENT A NOVEL THERAPY FOR ARDS."IN THIS FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND STUDY, HANIDZIAR AND COLLEAGUES SHOWED THAT, IN MICE EXPOSED TO HIGH OXYGEN LEVELS, THE NUMBER OF B CELLS DROPPED SHARPLY IN BOTH THE LUNGS AND THE BLOODSTREAM. ADMINISTERING B CELLS INTRAVENOUSLY 24 HOURS AFTER THE ONSET OF HIGH OXYGEN EXPOSURE, IMPROVED IMMUNE REGULATION, REDUCED HARMFUL INFLAMMATION, AND PARTIALLY RESTORED THE DIVERSITY OF IMMUNE CELLS IN THE ANIMALS' LUNGS."WE'VE KNOWN THAT HIGH OXYGEN LEVELS CAN SEVERELY DISRUPT IMMUNE BALANCE IN THE LUNGS, BUT THIS STUDY SHOWS THAT INFUSING B CELLS CAN HELP CORRECT THAT IMBALANCE AND REDUCE LUNG INJURY," SAID SENIOR AUTHOR SIMON C ROBSON, MD, PHD, DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR INFLAMMATION RESEARCH. "THIS WORK LAYS IMPORTANT GROUNDWORK FOR EXPLORING B-CELL THERAPY AS A POTENTIAL TREATMENT FOR ARDS AND RELATED CONDITIONS."3. MORE THAN HALF OF U.S. ADULTS COULD BENEFIT FROM GLP-1 MEDICATIONS, RESEARCHERS FINDIN AN ANALYSIS OF NATIONAL DATA, RESEARCHERS AT THE RICHARD A. AND SUSAN F. SMITH CENTER FOR OUTCOMES RESEARCH AT BIDMC ESTIMATED THAT 137 MILLION U.S. ADULTS, MORE THAN HALF OF ALL ADULTS, ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SEMAGLUDTIDE FOR WEIGHT LOSS, DIABETES MANAGEMENT, OR PREVENTION OF RECURRENT CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS. THE FINDINGS, PUBLISHED IN JAMA CARDIOLOGY, UNDERSCORE THE NEED TO INCREASE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO THIS NEW CLASS OF PHARMACEUTICALS.SEMAGLUTIDE, WHICH BELONGS TO A CLASS OF DRUGS KNOWN AS GLP-1 RECEPTOR AGONISTS, IS CURRENTLY APPROVED FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES, TREATMENT OF OVERWEIGHT OR OBESITY, AND PREVENTION OF RECURRENT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (E.G., IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED A HEART ATTACK OR STROKE OR ARE LIVING WITH PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE). ABOUT 15 MILLION ADULTS CURRENTLY TAKE SEMAGLUTIDE. BUT DATA IS RAPIDLY EMERGING ABOUT ITS EFFECTIVENESS FOR OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS.IVY SHI, MD, WHO IS A RESIDENT IN INTERNAL MEDICINE AT BIDMC, WORKED WITH DHRUV S. KAZI, MD, MS, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF THE SMITH CENTER AND DIRECTOR OF THE CARDIAC CRITICAL CARE UNIT AT BIDMC TO PRODUCE THE ANALYSIS. THEY USED FIVE YEARS' WORTH OF RECENT DATA FROM A LONG-RUNNING SURVEY OF THE U.S. POPULATION RUN BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES TO IDENTIFY U.S. ADULTS AGED 18 YEARS OR OLDER WHO WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR SEMAGLUTIDE TREATMENT BASED ON CURRENTLY APPROVED INDICATIONS.THEY FOUND THAT OF THE 136.8 MILLION US ADULTS ELIGIBLE FOR SEMAGLUTIDE, 35.0 MILLION ADULTS WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE MEDICATION FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT, 129.2 MILLION ADULTS FOR WEIGHT LOSS, AND 8.9 MILLION ADULTS FOR SECONDARY PREVENTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. THE SEMAGLUTIDE-ELIGIBLE POPULATION INCLUDES 26.8 MILLION ADULTS COVERED BY MEDICARE, 13.8 MILLION COVERED BY MEDICAID, AND 61.1 MILLION COVERED BY COMMERCIAL INSURANCE."THESE STAGGERING NUMBERS MEAN THAT WE ARE LIKELY TO SEE LARGE INCREASES IN SPENDING ON SEMAGLUTIDE AND RELATED MEDICATIONS IN YEARS TO COME," SAID KAZI. "ENSURING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO THESE EFFECTIVE BUT HIGH-COST MEDICATIONS, AS WELL AS SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALS SO THAT THEY CAN STAY ON THE THERAPY LONG-TERM, SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR OUR CLINICIANS AND POLICYMAKERS."
4. SKIP THE EXTRA SALT: STUDY SHOWS HEART HEALTHY DIET AND SODIUM	REDUCTION LOWER RISK OF HEART DISEASEMOST AMERICANS CONSUME FAR MORE SODIUM THAN RECOMMENDED, WITH THE AVERAGE INTAKE TOPPING 3,400 MILLIGRAMS (MG) PER DAY--WELL ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED FEDERAL GUIDELINE OF 2,300 MG AND THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION'S GOAL OF 1,500 MG. THE BULK OF AMERICAN'S DAILY SODIUM DOESN'T COME FROM THE SALTSHAKER, BUT FROM PROCESSED AND RESTAURANT FOODS LIKE BREADS, DELI MEATS, AND CANNED SOUPS. HEALTH EXPERTS WARN THIS EXCESS IS FUELING A NATIONAL EPIDEMIC OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, A MAJOR RISK FACTOR FOR HEART DISEASE AND STROKE.A NEW ANALYSIS LED BY INVESTIGATORS AT BIDMC HAS FOUND THAT REDUCING DIETARY SODIUM, OR FOLLOWING THE EVIDENCED-BASED HEART-HEALTHY DASH DIET EACH INDEPENDENTLY LOWERED THE 10-YEAR ESTIMATED RISK OF DEVELOPING ATHEROSCLEROTIC CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (ASCVD)--HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES THAT CAN LEAD TO CHEST PAIN, HEART ATTACK OR STROKE--AMONG ADULTS WITH ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE BUT NO PRIOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.MOREOVER, THE COMBINATION OF THE DASH DIET AND REDUCING SODIUM INTAKE HAD ADDITIVE EFFECTS, RESULTING IN THE GREATEST REDUCTION IN ASCVD RISK. THE FINDINGS APPEAR IN THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY."COMPARED TO THE TYPICAL AMERICAN, HIGH-SODIUM DIET, REDUCING SODIUM TO THE RECOMMENDED LEVELS OR EVEN LOWER MARKEDLY DECREASED CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK SCORES, WITH THE GREATEST EFFECTS AMONG WOMEN, BLACK ADULTS AND PARTICIPANTS WITH BASELINE STAGE II HYPERTENSION," SAID SENIOR AUTHOR STEPHEN P. JURASCHEK, MD. "THESE DATA UNDERSCORE THE NEED FOR STRONGER DIETARY GUIDELINES AND PUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONS THAT CAN BE REALISTICALLY IMPLEMENTED AND SUSTAINED OVER TIME--ESPECIALLY AMONG GROUPS AT HIGHEST RISK."TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF SODIUM REDUCTION ON BLOOD PRESSURE--ALONE AND IN COMBINATION WITH THE DASH DIET--JURASCHEK AND COLLEAGUES RANDOMIZED 390 ADULTS WITH ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE TO THE DASH DIET AND A TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET.AFTER THE 12-WEEK PERIOD, ANALYSIS REVEALED THAT BOTH THE DASH DIET AND LOWER SODIUM INTAKE INDEPENDENTLY REDUCED PARTICIPANTS' ASCVD RISK SCORES. LOWERING SODIUM INTAKE LED TO MEANINGFUL RISK REDUCTIONS EVEN WHEN NOT MEETING THE MOST AGGRESSIVE TARGETS. BUT THE GREATEST BENEFIT OCCURRED WHEN THE TWO INTERVENTIONS WERE COMBINED.5. PRIVATE EQUITY MAY HAVE NEGATIVE EFFECT ON PATIENT CARE, STUDY SHOWSIN A PAPER PUBLISHED IN JAMA, BIDMC HEALTH POLICY EXPERTS REPORT THAT PATIENT CARE EXPERIENCE AND STAFF RESPONSIVENESS WORSENED AFTER PRIVATE EQUITY (PE) ACQUISITION OF U.S. HOSPITALS. RISHI WADHERA, MD, MPP, ANJALI BHATLA, MD, AND COLLEAGUES FOUND THAT CARE CONTINUED TO DECLINE WITH EACH ADDITIONAL YEAR AFTER ACQUISITION, SUGGESTING THAT PROFIT-DRIVEN CHANGES MAY COMPOUND OVER TIME."PATIENTS PROVIDE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE ON WHETHER A HOSPITAL IS PROVIDING GOOD OR BAD CARE, AS THEY HAVE A 360-DEGREE VIEW OF THE ENTIRE CARE EXPERIENCE," SAID WADHERA, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF THE SMITH CENTER FOR OUTCOMES RESEARCH AT BIDMC. "AFTER PRIVATE EQUITY TAKES OVER A HOSPITAL, PATIENT CARE EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANTLY WORSENS. THAT'S VERY CONCERNING, GIVEN THE SURGE IN PE ACQUISITIONS OF HEALTH CARE FACILITIES OVER THE PAST DECADE."WADHERA AND COLLEAGUES IDENTIFIED 73 U.S. HOSPITALS NEWLY ACQUIRED BY PRIVATE EQUITY AND 293 MATCHED, NON-ACQUIRED HOSPITALS FROM 2008 TO 2019, AND FOUND THAT PATIENTS' OVERALL RATINGS, WILLINGNESS TO RECOMMEND THE HOSPITAL, AND REPORTED STAFF RESPONSIVENESS, DOCTOR AND NURSE COMMUNICATION, AND HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT ALL WORSENED IN THE THREE YEARS AFTER ACQUISITION."THE RELATIVE DECLINE IN OVERALL PATIENT CARE EXPERIENCE SCORES AFTER PE ACQUISITION WAS LARGE," SAID ANJALI BHATLA, MD, A RESEARCH FELLOW AT THE SMITH CENTER. "POOR PATIENT EXPERIENCES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SLOWER RECOVERY FROM ILLNESS, MEDICATION NONADHERENCE, AND GREATER HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION.""THE EVIDENCE TO DATE SUGGESTS THAT WHEN PRIVATE EQUITY TAKES OVER A HOSPITAL, THINGS GENERALLY GET WORSE FOR PATIENTS," SAID WADHERA, WHO IS ALSO AN ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. "AS PRIVATE EQUITY'S PRESENCE IN HEALTH CONTINUES TO GROW, THERE'S A PRESSING NEED FOR GREATER TRANSPARENCY, MONITORING, AND REGULATORY OVERSIGHT, TO ENSURE THAT PATIENTS ARE PROTECTED."PE INVESTORS SPENT MORE THAN $200 BILLION ON HEALTH CARE ACQUISITIONS IN 2021 ALONE -- $1 TRILLION OVER THE PAST DECADE, PER THE COMMONWEALTH FUND -- YET LITTLE RESEARCH HAS EVALUATED PE'S IMPACT ON THE PATIENT CARE EXPERIENCE.IN AN EARLIER STUDY, WADHERA FOUND THAT PE FIRMS DISPROPORTIONATELY ACQUIRED OUTPATIENT CARDIOLOGY PRACTICES IN WEALTHY COMMUNITIES, OFTEN FLIPPING THEM WITHIN A FEW YEARS -- A PATTERN THAT CAN INCENTIVIZE CARE CHANGES THAT MAXIMIZE PROFIT OVER QUALITY.6. RACIAL DISPARITIES IN PAIN ASSESSMENT EXPOSE AI'S FLAWED BELIEFS ABOUT RACEA STUDY LED BY ADAM RODMAN, MD, MPH, DIRECTOR OF AI PROGRAMS AT BIDMC, REVEALS THAT, RATHER THAN HELPING TO REDUCE RACIAL AND ETHNIC BIASES, AI-DRIVEN CHATBOTS MAY INSTEAD PERPETUATE AND EXACERBATE DISPARITIES IN MEDICINE. THE STUDY APPEARED IN JAMA NETWORK OPEN.IT'S WELL-DOCUMENTED THAT PHYSICIANS UNDERTREAT BLACK PATIENTS' PAIN VERSUS WHITE PATIENTS', A DISPARITY OFTEN ATTRIBUTED TO UNDERASSESSMENT OF THEIR PAIN. AI WAS INITIALLY SEEN AS A WAY TO ELIMINATE SUCH BIASES, WITH DATA-DRIVEN ALGORITHMS EXPECTED TO OFFER OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENTS FREE FROM HUMAN PREJUDICE."THESE MODELS ARE VERY GOOD AT REFLECTING HUMAN BIASES -- AND NOT JUST RACIAL BIASES -- WHICH IS PROBLEMATIC IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE THEM TO MAKE ANY SORT OF MEDICAL DECISION," RODMAN SAID. "IF THE SYSTEM IS BIASED THE SAME WAY HUMANS ARE, IT'S GOING TO SERVE TO MAGNIFY OUR BIASES OR MAKE HUMANS MORE CONFIDENT IN THEIR BIASES."TO INVESTIGATE, RODMAN AND COLLEAGUES REPLICATED A 2016 STUDY IN WHICH 222 MEDICAL STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS RATED PAIN LEVELS FOR TWO MEDICAL VIGNETTES -- ONE DESCRIBING A WHITE PATIENT, ONE BLACK -- ON A 10-POINT SCALE, AND RATED THEIR AGREEMENT WITH FALSE BELIEFS ABOUT RACIAL BIOLOGY, SUCH AS THE INACCURATE BUT WIDESPREAD NOTION THAT BLACK PEOPLE HAVE THICKER SKIN.IN THEIR STUDY, RODMAN'S TEAM APPLIED THE SAME SETUP TO THE AI MODELS GEMINI PRO AND GPT-4 TO SEE HOW THEY WOULD ASSESS PAIN ACROSS RACE AND ETHNICITY AND GAUGE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF RACIAL BIOLOGY.THE RACIAL DISPARITIES PERSISTED. ACROSS THE BOARD, BLACK PATIENTS WERE UNDERASSESSED FOR THEIR PAIN COMPARED WITH WHITE PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE RATER WAS HUMAN OR AI. AS FOR FALSE BELIEFS ABOUT RACIAL BIOLOGY: THE GEMINI PRO AI MODEL EXHIBITED THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF FALSE BELIEFS (24 PERCENT), FOLLOWED BY THE HUMAN TRAINEES (12 PERCENT), AND GPT-4 WITH THE LOWEST (9 PERCENT).AS MORE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS ADOPT AI FOR CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT, THE FINDINGS SUGGEST CHATBOTS COULD PERPETUATE RACIAL AND ETHNIC BIASES IN MEDICINE, DEEPENING HEALTH CARE INEQUALITIES -- PARTICULARLY IF CONFIRMATION BIAS LEADS PHYSICIANS TO TRUST AI OUTPUTS ONLY WHEN THEY MATCH PRE-EXISTING BELIEFS.
7. BIDMC-LED STUDY FINDS MOST CANCER PHYSICIANS-IN-TRAINING FEEL	UNDERPREPARED TO ADVISE PATIENTS ABOUT MEDICAL MARIJUANAEVIDENCE SUGGESTS AS MANY AS 40 PERCENT OF ADULTS WITH CANCER TURN TO MARIJUANA -- MORE PROPERLY KNOWN AS CANNABIS -- TO MANAGE SYMPTOMS LIKE PAIN, NAUSEA AND ANXIETY, AND MANY WANT GUIDANCE FROM THEIR PHYSICIANS. YET A NATIONAL STUDY LED BY BIDMC INVESTIGATORS FINDS THAT MOST ONCOLOGISTS-IN-TRAINING, OR FELLOWS, FEEL UNDERPREPARED TO MANAGE THIS INCREASINGLY COMMON ASPECT OF PATIENT CARE."PERSONALIZED, PATIENT-CENTERED CARE STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING AND COMMUNICATING THE BEST AVAILABLE EVIDENCE," SAID CO-LEAD AUTHOR KIAN TEHRANCHI, MD, A CLINICAL FELLOW IN HEMATOLOGY ONCOLOGY AT BIDMC. "AS MEDICAL CANNABIS BECOMES MORE WIDELY USED AND ACCEPTED, IT'S CRITICAL THAT FELLOWSHIP TRAINING EQUIPS FUTURE ONCOLOGISTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THEY NEED TO HAVE INFORMED, THOUGHTFUL CONVERSATIONS AND SUPPORT SHARED DECISION-MAKING WITH THEIR PATIENTS."PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF CANNABIS RESEARCH, THE STUDY SURVEYED 189 ONCOLOGY FELLOWS ACROSS 40 TRAINING PROGRAMS IN 25 STATES. ABOUT ONE IN FIVE HAD RECOMMENDED MEDICAL CANNABIS TO MORE THAN FIVE PATIENTS IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. ABOUT A QUARTER HAD RECEIVED PRIOR TRAINING IN MEDICAL CANNABIS, AND THOSE WITH TRAINING WERE TWICE AS LIKELY TO RECOMMEND IT -- AND SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIKELY TO HOLD INFORMED OPINIONS ABOUT ITS RISKS, BENEFITS, PREFERRED USE, AND WHICH PATIENTS MIGHT BENEFIT MOST.THE FINDINGS UNDERSCORE HOW EVEN BASIC TRAINING BUILDS FELLOWS' CONFIDENCE IN HAVING EVIDENCE-BASED CONVERSATIONS ABOUT CANNABIS USE, DESPITE LIMITED SAFETY AND EFFICACY DATA IN CANCER CARE.THE RESEARCHERS NOTE THAT EVIDENCE IS STRONGEST FOR CANNABIS RELIEVING CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED NAUSEA AND VOMITING, WITH LESS SUPPORT FOR OTHER SYMPTOMS LIKE CHRONIC PAIN OR APPETITE LOSS, AND VIRTUALLY NONE FOR ISSUES LIKE DIARRHEA. THEY STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING ON ITS SIDE EFFECTS, DRUG INTERACTIONS, AND RISKS FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING IMMUNOTHERAPY."THIS IS ABOUT PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CANCER PHYSICIANS TO MEET PATIENTS WHERE THEY ARE," SAID LEAD AUTHOR DEEPA RANGACHARI, MD, DIRECTOR OF GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION & HEMATOLOGY ONCOLOGY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT BIDMC. "WELL-INFORMED, PATIENT-CENTERED CARE STARTS WITH GIVING OUR TRAINEES THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO ENGAGE IN NUANCED, EVIDENCE-BASED CONVERSATIONS."8. COVID-19 EXACERBATED AN ALREADY WIDENING GAP BETWEEN RURAL AND URBAN HEART HEALTH OVER LAST DECADEEXISTING SOCIOECONOMIC DISPARITIES LEFT THE U.S. RURAL POPULATION MORE VULNERABLE TO THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS OF COVID-19, ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS AT BIDMC'S RICHARD A. AND SUSAN F. SMITH CENTER FOR OUTCOMES RESEARCH. IN A STUDY PRESENTED AT THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS AND PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY, THE SCIENTISTS SHOWED THAT THE GAP IN HEALTH OUTCOMES BETWEEN RURAL AND URBAN POPULATIONS WIDENED MORE QUICKLY AFTER THE PANDEMIC.RESEARCHERS EVALUATED CARDIOVASCULAR MORTALITY IN THE UNITED STATES FROM 2010 TO 2022, FOCUSING ON THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC ON EXISTING RURAL-URBAN DISPARITIES IN CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH. PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC, AGE-ADJUSTED CARDIOVASCULAR DEATH RATES HAD BEEN DECREASING IN URBAN AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES. IN CONTRAST, CARDIOVASCULAR DEATH RATES WERE INCREASING IN RURAL AREAS, DRIVEN LARGELY BY AN ALARMING RISE AMONG YOUNGER ADULTS.THE INVESTIGATORS FOUND THAT FOLLOWING THE ONSET OF THE PANDEMIC, WHILE THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE CARDIOVASCULAR MORTALITY RATE IN URBAN AREAS, THERE WAS A STEEPER INCREASE IN RURAL AREAS, PARTICULARLY AMONG RURAL ADULTS AGED 25-64. BY 2022, CARDIOVASCULAR MORTALITY RATES WERE 1.5 TIMES HIGHER IN RURAL COMPARED WITH URBAN AREAS.OTHER STUDIES SUGGEST THAT FOR MANY PEOPLE, RISK FACTORS SUCH AS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH CHOLESTEROL, DIABETES, AND OBESITY WORSENED DURING THE PANDEMIC, AND RURAL AREAS MAY HAVE BEEN MORE SEVERELY AFFECTED DUE TO GREATER INTERRUPTIONS IN ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. THE PANDEMIC-RELATED SURGE IN SUBSTANCE USE, DEPRESSION, AND SUICIDALITY ALSO DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED RURAL POPULATIONS; THESE "DISEASES OF DESPAIR" CONFER AN INCREASED RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS."DETERIORATING SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND HEALTH SYSTEM CHALLENGES THAT WERE EXACERBATED BY THE PANDEMIC MAY HAVE MADE RURAL ADULTS MORE VULNERABLE TO POOR CARDIOVASCULAR OUTCOMES," SAID CORRESPONDING AUTHOR RISHI K. WADHERA, MD, MPP, MPHIL, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF THE SMITH CENTER AT BIDMC. "THERE'S A CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH CRISIS HAPPENING IN RURAL AMERICA -- ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUNG ADULTS -- AND IT'S VITAL THAT WE START TACKLING THE UNDERLYING SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS THAT ARE DRIVING THIS PERSISTENT RISE IN CARDIOVASCULAR MORTALITY."9. MPOX VACCINE ANTIBODY RESPONSES WANED WITHIN A YEAR, STUDY SHOWSTHE 2022 OUTBREAK OF MPOX, FORMERLY KNOWN AS MONKEYPOX, MARKED THE FIRST TIME THE VIRUS SPREAD WIDELY ACROSS MULTIPLE COUNTRIES BEYOND ITS HISTORICALLY ENDEMIC REGIONS IN AFRICA. BOSTON REPORTED THE FIRST U.S. CASE IN MAY; BY AUGUST, ALL 50 STATES HAD DOCUMENTED INFECTIONS. SPREAD PRIMARILY THROUGH CLOSE SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT, ESPECIALLY DURING SEXUAL ACTIVITY, THE INFECTION MANIFESTS AS FEVER, SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES, AND PAINFUL RASHES OR SORES.TO CONTAIN THE OUTBREAK, PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS PRIORITIZED VACCINATION FOR POPULATIONS AT HIGHER RISK OF EXPOSURE, INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEW OR MULTIPLE SEXUAL PARTNERS; HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND LABORATORY PERSONNEL; AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRAVELED TO A COMMUNITY WHERE MPOX HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED.IN A STUDY PUBLISHED IN JAMA, BIDMC RESEARCHERS DEMONSTRATED THAT MPOX ANTIBODY LEVELS DECLINED RAPIDLY AND NEARLY RETURNED TO BASELINE SIX TO 12 MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING THE MPOX VACCINATION. THE FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT PROTECTIVE IMMUNITY MAY WANE IN PREVIOUSLY VACCINATED INDIVIDUALS AND THAT BOOSTING MAY BE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN ROBUST PROTECTION."IT IS IMPORTANT TO ASSESS THE INFECTION RISK FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE VACCINATED AGAINST THE DISEASE DURING THE 2022 OUTBREAK," SAID CORRESPONDING AUTHOR DAN H. BAROUCH, MD, PHD, DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR VACCINE AND VIROLOGY RESEARCH AT BIDMC."OUR STUDY ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPLETING THE RECOMMENDED TWO-DOSE MPOX VACCINE, WHETHER SUBCUTANEOUS OR INTRADERMAL, TO BOOST IMMUNITY -- REGARDLESS OF THE TIME BETWEEN DOSES," SAID LEAD AUTHOR AI-RIS YONEKURA COLLIER, MD, CO-DIRECTOR OF THE CLINICAL TRIALS UNIT AT BIDMC. "IN THIS MPOX OUTBREAK, ENSURING BROAD ACCESS TO THE FULL VACCINE SERIES IS CRUCIAL."10. INVESTIGATIONAL MRNA VACCINE PROTECTED MICE BETTER THAN THE CENTURY-OLD VACCINE -- LIMITING INFECTION AND SLOWING DISEASE SPREADTUBERCULOSIS, AN AIRBORNE BACTERIAL INFECTION, IS ONE OF HUMANITY'S OLDEST FOES AND TODAY THE WORLD'S TOP INFECTIOUS-DISEASE KILLER, CLAIMING 1.2 MILLION LIVES A YEAR. THE ONE AVAILABLE VACCINE PROTECTS YOUNG CHILDREN FROM SEVERE TB BUT DOES LITTLE TO STOP ITS SPREAD AMONG ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS.NOW, BIDMC SCIENTISTS HAVE CREATED A NEW TB VACCINE CANDIDATE USING NEWLY IDENTIFIED ANTIGENS DELIVERED BY MRNA TECHNOLOGY -- THE SAME APPROACH BEHIND THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF COVID-19 VACCINES. THE TEAM, REPORTING IN CELL, PLANS CLINICAL TESTING IN ADULTS, A POTENTIAL ADVANCE IN TB PREVENTION FOR ALL AGE GROUPS."WE SYSTEMATICALLY EVALUATED MULTIPLE POTENTIAL TB VACCINE ANTIGENS TO DEVELOP A NOVEL TB VACCINE CANDIDATE," SAID CORRESPONDING AUTHOR DAN H. BAROUCH, MD, PHD, DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR VIROLOGY AND VACCINE RESEARCH AT BIDMC, WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF JOHNSON & JOHNSON'S COVID-19 VACCINE. "WE USED THE MRNA PLATFORM THAT IS FLEXIBLE, SCALABLE, AND CAN COMBINE MULTIPLE ANTIGENS INTO ONE SHOT."TB LACKS AN OBVIOUS VACCINE TARGET. USING IMMUNE-RESPONSE DATA FROM PEOPLE EXPOSED TO TB, BAROUCH AND COLLEAGUES BUILT A SCREENING PIPELINE TO RANK CANDIDATE ANTIGENS BY IMMUNE RESPONSE, THEN SELECTED TOP CONTENDERS TO DESIGN A TRIVALENT VACCINE -- COMBINING THREE TB ANTIGENS -- TESTED IN AN ANIMAL MODEL."CHOOSING WHICH ANTIGENS TO TARGET IS A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE IN TB VACCINE DEVELOPMENT," SAID LEAD AUTHOR SAMUEL J. VIDAL, MD, PHD, A STAFF SCIENTIST IN THE BAROUCH LABORATORY AT BIDMC. "THE THREE ANTIGENS WE CHOSE HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN EVALUATED IN CLINICAL TRIALS. OUR TRIVALENT MRNA VACCINE CONCEPT IMPROVED UPON THE CENTURY-OLD BCG SHOT IN ANIMAL MODELS -- IT REDUCED INFECTION RATES, REDUCED BACTERIAL SPREAD, AND LOWERED BACTERIAL LEVELS IN THE LUNGS."THE TRIVALENT VACCINE ANTIGENS ALSO TRIGGERED IMMUNE RESPONSES IN HUMANS EXPOSED TO TB, SUGGESTING THE APPROACH COULD WORK IN PEOPLE."TAKEN TOGETHER, OUR FINDINGS OPEN THE DOOR TO A NEW VACCINE CANDIDATE FOR TB," SAID BAROUCH, WHO IS ALSO A PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. "WE'RE EXCITED TO BE MOVING THIS NOVEL TB VACCINE CANDIDATE TOWARD CLINICAL TRIALS."

BRAIN INSULIN SIGNALING IMPACT ON DIABETES AND NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERSA STUDY FROM JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER EXPLORES THE ROLE OF INSULIN SIGNALING IN THE BRAIN'S IMMUNE CELLS, AND HOW IT MAY MEDIATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TYPE 2 DIABETES AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE (AD). THE FINDINGS, PUBLISHED IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, COULD HELP IDENTIFY POTENTIAL TARGETS TO TREAT DIABETES PATIENTS WITH AD."TYPE 2 DIABETES, OBESITY, AND METABOLIC SYNDROME ARE MAJOR CAUSES OF ILLNESS AND DEATH WORLDWIDE, AND INSULIN RESISTANCE, ESPECIALLY BRAIN INSULIN RESISTANCE, FEATURES PROMINENTLY IN ALL THESE CONDITIONS," SAID LEAD AUTHOR WENQIANG CHEN, PHD, INSTRUCTOR OF MEDICINE AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER. "A GROWING BODY OF EVIDENCE LINKS INSULIN RESISTANCE WITH INCREASED RISKS OF BRAIN DISORDERS, INCLUDING AD AND DEPRESSION, BUT EXACTLY HOW BRAIN INSULIN RESISTANCE LINKS TO THESE DISEASES REMAINS INCOMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD."TO BETTER UNDERSTAND INSULIN'S ROLE IN THE BRAIN, CHEN AND COLLEAGUES IN THE LAB OF RONALD KAHN, MD, CREATED A MOUSE MODEL IN WHICH THEY COULD "TURN OFF" INSULIN RECEPTORS IN CERTAIN BRAIN CELLS. THESE "KNOCKOUT MICE" GAVE THE SCIENTISTS A PRECISE TOOL TO STUDY HOW SPECIFIC BRAIN CELLS BEHAVE WITHOUT INSULIN'S INFLUENCE.THE JOSLIN INVESTIGATORS LOOKED SPECIFICALLY AT MICROGLIA--THE BRAIN'S RESIDENT IMMUNE CELLS. MOST IMPORTANTLY IN THE CONTEXT OF ALZHEIMER'S, THEY HELP CLEAR AWAY AMYLOID-BETA (A), A STICKY PROTEIN THAT CAN BUILD UP TO FORM THE DAMAGING PLAQUES IN THE BRAIN.THEIR FINDINGS:- MICE WITHOUT INSULIN SIGNALING IN MICROGLIA SHOWED DEPRESSIVE-LIKE BEHAVIORS AND ALTERED SOCIAL INTERACTION- WHEN THESE MICE WERE CROSSED WITH A WIDELY USED ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE MODEL, THE RESULTANT MICE DEVELOPED MORE SEVERE DISEASE- IN THE TEAM'S CELLULAR MODEL OF MICROGLIA LACKING INSULIN RECEPTORS, THE CELLS SHIFTED TO A LESS EFFICIENT WAY OF PRODUCING ENERGY AND BECAME LESS EFFECTIVE AT CLEARING AMYLOID-BETA."OUR FINDINGS POINT TO THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING A CELL TYPE SPECIFIC REGULATION OF INSULIN ACTION AND INSULIN RESISTANCE IN BRAIN HOMEOSTASIS AND DISEASE PATHOGENESIS," SAID SENIOR AUTHOR KAHN, WHO IS ALSO JOSLIN'S CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER. "THESE INSIGHTS WILL HELP IDENTIFY THE CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THE LINK BETWEEN TYPE 2 DIABETES AND BRAIN DISORDERS, THUS BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR BETTER THERAPEUTICS FOR PATIENTS WITH THESE COMORBID CONDITIONS."JOSLIN SCIENTISTS UNCOVER CLUES TO MYSTERIOUS POST-BARIATRIC COMPLICATIONJOSLIN DIABETES CENTER RESEARCHERS HAVE IDENTIFIED METABOLIC CHANGES THAT MAY EXPLAIN WHY NEARLY 30 PERCENT OF PATIENTS WHO UNDERGO WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY DEVELOP POST-BARIATRIC HYPOGLYCEMIA (PBH). THIS SERIOUS CONDITION OCCURS WHEN THE BODY OVERPRODUCES INSULIN AFTER MEALS, CAUSING DANGEROUS BLOOD SUGAR CRASHES THAT CAN LEAD TO CONFUSION, FAINTING, AND SEIZURES."WHILE SOME PATIENTS CAN MANAGE PBH WITH DIET AND MEDICATION, SEVERE CASES DON'T ALWAYS RESPOND TO TREATMENT--OR EVEN TO REVERSING THE SURGERY," SAID CO-CORRESPONDING AUTHOR MARY-ELIZABETH PATTI, MD, DIRECTOR OF JOSLIN'S HYPOGLYCEMIA CLINIC. "THAT'S WHY FINDING TREATMENT OPTIONS IS SO IMPORTANT."BARIATRIC SURGERIES, SUCH AS GASTRIC BYPASS AND SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY, ARE POWERFUL TOOLS FOR TREATING TYPE 2 DIABETES (T2D), A CONDITION THAT AFFECTS MORE THAN 500 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE AND INCREASES THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE, KIDNEY FAILURE, AND NERVE DAMAGE. IN SOME INDIVIDUALS, GLUCOSE LEVELS CAN DROP TO LEVELS BELOW NORMAL, OR HYPOGLYCEMIA.IN PREVIOUS STUDIES, PATTI AND COLLEAGUES FOUND THAT PATIENTS WITH PBH HAD SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER LEVELS OF A HORMONE CALLED FGF19 COMPARED TO POST-SURGICAL INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT HYPOGLYCEMIA. PEOPLE WITH OBESITY TEND TO HAVE LOWER LEVELS OF THIS HORMONE, BUT AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY, ITS LEVELS RISE--SOMETIMES TOO MUCH.TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TRIGGERS THIS SPIKE IN FGF19, PATTI'S TEAM, WORKING WITH THE LABORATORY OF CO-CORRESPONDING AUTHOR SLOAN DEVLIN, ANALYZED BILE ACIDS--DIGESTIVE COMPOUNDS THAT HELP BREAK DOWN FATS. COMPARING SAMPLES FROM PATIENTS WITH PBH AND INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT THE CONDITION, THEY FOUND DISTINCT DIFFERENCES IN BILE ACID COMPOSITION, SUGGESTING THESE DIFFERENCES MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXCESSIVE INSULIN RESPONSE AND HYPOGLYCEMIA AFTER MEALS.THROUGH A SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS, THE RESEARCHERS MAPPED OUT THE METABOLIC STEPS LIKELY DRIVING PBH. BY IDENTIFYING SPECIFIC PROTEINS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS, THEY UNCOVERED A POTENTIAL TREATMENT STRATEGY: BLOCKING A TRANSPORTER IN THE GUT RESPONSIBLE FOR SHUTTLING BILE ACIDS FROM INTESTINES INTO BLOOD. BY INHIBITING THIS TRANSPORTER IN MICE, THE RESEARCHERS WERE ABLE TO REDUCE THE BLOOD SUGAR DROP THAT HAPPENS AFTER A MEAL. MORE BROADLY, THIS WORK MAY HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR PATIENTS STRUGGLING WITH HYPOGLYCEMIA IN OTHER CONTEXTS. THE FINDINGS APPEARED IN NATURE METABOLISM.FIRST-OF-ITS KIND STUDY COMPREHENSIVELY CHARACTERIZED COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND BRAIN PATHOLOGY IN AGING PEOPLE WITH T1DINVESTIGATORS AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER HAVE CONDUCTED THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE CLINICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF COGNITIVE DECLINE IN PEOPLE WITH LONG-DURATION TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D). PUBLISHED IN JCI INSIGHT, THE STUDY HELPS ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS UNDERSTUDIED POPULATION AND HINTS THAT PRESERVING EYESIGHT MAY HELP PREVENT COGNITIVE DECLINE IN PEOPLE WITH T1D."COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION IS RECOGNIZED AS A POTENTIAL COMPLICATION ASSOCIATED WITH DIABETES, BUT STUDIES HAVE MOSTLY FOCUSED ON TYPE 2 DIABETES OR YOUNGER TYPE 1 POPULATIONS," SAID CORRESPONDING AUTHOR GEORGE KING, CHIEF SCIENTIFIC OFFICER, JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER."DETAILED CLINICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION IN A LARGE COHORT OF PEOPLE WITH A LONG HISTORY OF LIVING WITH T1D HAS BEEN LIMITED GIVEN THAT LIVING LONGER THAN 55 YEARS WITH THE DISEASE HAS ONLY RECENTLY BECOME POSSIBLE," SAID CO-CORRESPONDING AUTHOR HETAL SHAH, JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER.ENTER THE MEDALISTS: SINCE 1970, JOSLIN HAS AWARDED MEDALS TO MORE THAN 7,000 PEOPLE, KNOWN AS THE MEDALISTS, FOR LIVING WITH THE CONDITION FOR 50 YEARS.KING AND COLLEAGUES RECRUITED MORE THAN 1,000 MEDALISTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES. PARTICIPANTS HAD A MEAN AGE OF 66 YEARS AND HAD BEEN LIVING WITH T1D AN AVERAGE OF 53 YEARS.BUT WHEN SHAH, KING AND COLLEAGUES ASSESSED THEIR COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND CONDUCTED BRAIN AND RETINAL IMAGING, THEY FOUND THE MEDALISTS PERFORMED WORSE THAN PEOPLE WITHOUT DIABETES IN MANY CATEGORIES, INCLUDING RECALL AND PSYCHOMOTOR CONTROL. NEUROIMAGING REVEALED THE MEDALISTS HAD LOWER TOTAL BRAIN VOLUME, EQUIVALENT TO NINE YEARS ACCELERATED AGING, THE RESEARCHERS CALCULATED.RETINAL IMAGING REVEALED THAT WORSE COGNITIVE FUNCTION, LOWER BRAIN VOLUMES, AND DIABETIC RETINOPATHY WERE LINKED WITH THE THINNING OF RETINAL TISSUES. TOGETHER, THESE FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT MAINTAINING EYESIGHT COULD BE ONE WAY TO MODIFY THE COURSE OF COGNITIVE DECLINE IN THIS POPULATION.
"OUR FINDINGS ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE REPORTED FOR PEOPLE	WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES," SAID KING. "THIS LINK BETWEEN BETTER VISUAL ACUITY AND THE PRESERVATION OF COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND HIGHER BRAIN VOLUMES IS NOVEL AND SUGGESTS A POTENTIAL THERAPEUTIC APPROACH TO PREVENT COGNITIVE DECLINE IN T1D THAT MAY EVEN BE APPLICABLE BEYOND THIS POPULATION TO AGE-RELATED DEMENTIA," SAID SHAH.STUDY EXPLORES INSTAGRAM'S ROLE IN SUPPORTING YOUNG ADULTS LIVING WITH TYPE 1 DIABETESFOR MANY 18- TO 25-YEAR-OLDS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D), MANAGING THEIR CONDITION DURING A TIME OF LIFE ALREADY MARKED BY CHANGE AND STRESS POSES A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE. FOR THESE SAME YOUNG ADULTS, SOCIAL MEDIA IS A DAILY HABIT, AND A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF SUPPORT. A QUALITATIVE STUDY PUBLISHED IN JMIR DIABETES EXPLORES HOW INSTAGRAM POSTS FOCUSED ON DIABETES MAY AFFECT YOUNG PEOPLE'S SELF-CARE BEHAVIORS AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING."OUR RESULTS DEMONSTRATE THAT SOCIAL MEDIA HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO YOUNG PEOPLE WITH T1D AS WELL AS IMPACT THEIR WELL-BEING BY FOSTERING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND INCREASING ACCESS TO INFORMATION ABOUT DIABETES," SAID LEAD AUTHOR TARA MAXWELL, MD, MSHP, FORMERLY AT JOSLIN DIABETES CENTER. "WE ALSO DESCRIBE THE POTENTIAL NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON DIABETES, SELF-MANAGEMENT, AND EMOTIONAL STATE."IN ONE-ON-ONE VIDEO INTERVIEWS, PARTICIPANTS REACTED TO A CURATED SET OF 10 INSTAGRAM POSTS REFLECTING COMMON DIABETES THEMES. POSTS WERE VIEWED MORE POSITIVELY WHEN THEY WERE MEDICALLY ACCURATE, EMOTIONALLY RELATABLE, AND VISUALLY APPEALING. BUT CONTENT THAT DRAMATIZED THE CONDITION OR IDEALIZED LIFE WITH T1D SOMETIMES UNDERMINED SELF-CARE OR WORSENED EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING.TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCES PEOPLE WITH T1D, MAXWELL AND COLLEAGUES, INCLUDING SENIOR AUTHOR LORI LAFFEL, MD, MPH, RECRUITED 26 YOUNG ADULTS WHO RECEIVED REGULAR CARE AT JOSLIN AND HAD LIVED WITH T1D FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. WHILE ALL REPORTED DAILY SOCIAL MEDIA USE, MOST SAID THEY ONLY OCCASIONALLY VIEWED DIABETES-RELATED CONTENT AND RARELY POSTED ABOUT THEIR CONDITION THEMSELVES.THE RESEARCHERS ASKED PARTICIPANTS TO DESCRIBE HOW EACH POST MADE THEM FEEL, WHAT IT EMPHASIZED, AND HOW IT MIGHT INFLUENCE THEIR SELF-CARE. SOCIAL MEDIA SERVED TO HIGHLIGHT THE EXISTENCE OF A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WITH T1D; PROVIDE DIABETES INFORMATION; POTENTIALLY REINFORCE GOOD HABITS; AND INFLUENCE EMOTIONAL STATE, FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE."SOCIAL MEDIA MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE GOOD OR BAD FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WITH T1D," SAID LAFFEL. "IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO FOSTER COMMUNITY, SPARK REFLECTION, SUPPORT SELF-CARE, AND POSITIVELY AFFECT EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. WITH THOUGHTFUL DESIGN AND MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT, SOCIAL MEDIA COULD BE A POWERFUL TOOL FOR IMPROVING OUTCOMES IN THIS POPULATION."FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AS NOTED THROUGHOUT THIS FORM 990, BID PLYMOUTH IS A MEMBER OF THE BETH ISRAEL LAHEY HEALTH (BILH) NETWORK OF AFFILIATES.

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. THESE OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE THE OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE AVAILABLE THROUGH BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND THE DEPARTMENTS OF MEDICINE, SURGERY, OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY, AND ANESTHESIA AT BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER. *****INTERNAL MEDICINE EDUCATION AT BIDMCTHE 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 RESIDENCYRESIDENCY 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 RESIDENT	AS 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 AND EVALUATE GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS.PROGRAM OBJECTIVES - INTRODUCE GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUES TO BIDMC MEDICAL RESIDENTS - CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF POPULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD - ENRICH THE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE AND ENHANCE THE CLINICAL SKILLS OF RESIDENTS BY PRACTICING IN UNIQUE SETTINGS - 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. - ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS: THE DEPARTMENT OFFERS ROTATIONS AT THE ALBERT SCHWEITZER HOSPITAL IN GABON AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL SITES. RESIDENTS CAN ALSO DO ROTATIONS THROUGH THE INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE OR AT BIDMC-AFFILIATED COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS. GLOBAL HEALTH TRACK LEARNING HOW TO WORK EFFECTIVELY IN RESOURCE-LIMITED SETTINGS REQUIRES BOTH TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. PARTICIPANTS IN THE GLOBAL HEALTH TRACK WILL PARTICIPATE WITH LEARNERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN THE GLOBAL HEALTH EFFECTIVENESS PROGRAM AT THE HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH; THEY WILL ENGAGE IN OUR HOSPITAL-WIDE, YEAR-LONG GLOBAL HEALTH CURRICULUM AND JOURNAL CLUB, AND THEY WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TWO FIELD EXPERIENCES DURING RESIDENCY. HOSPITAL-WIDE GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAM THE BIDMC GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAM IS A HOSPITAL-WIDE PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO ALL BIDMC RESIDENTS. WHILE REQUIREMENTS AND TIMELINES MAY DIFFER BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS AND SPECIALTIES, THE OVERARCHING GOAL IS TO PROVIDE RESIDENTS WITH FURTHER TRAINING AND EDUCATION IN THE DISCIPLINE OF GLOBAL HEALTH. ***NEUROLOGY EDUCATION AT BIDMCTHE 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 BIDMCTHE 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. ***
RADIOLOGY EDUCATION AT BIDMC	THE RADIOLOGY RESIDENCY PROVIDES FOUR YEARS OF TRAINING IN DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING. APPOINTMENTS ARE HELD JOINTLY AS A RESIDENT AT THE MEDICAL CENTER AND AS A CLINICAL FELLOW AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. WITH A CENTRAL ROLE IN CLINICAL SERVICE, TEACHING, AND RESEARCH, THE RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT PERFORMS OVER 400,000 RADIOLOGIC EXAMINATIONS EACH YEAR. THE DEPARTMENT PROVIDES RADIOGRAPHY, CT, ULTRASOUND, MRI, NUCLEAR MEDICINE, MAMMOGRAPHY, ANGIOGRAPHY, AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY SERVICES TO BOTH THE MEDICAL CENTER AS WELL AS OUR AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE FACILITIES. A RADIOLOGY RESEARCH AND ANIMAL LABORATORY IS HOUSED ADJACENT TO THE RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT. ALL RESIDENTS, FELLOWS, AND FACULTY HAVE APPOINTMENTS AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. ALL RADIOLOGIC STUDIES ARE INTERPRETED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF STAFF RADIOLOGISTS. THE NUCLEAR MEDICINE PROGRAM IS A PART OF THE JOINT PROGRAM IN NUCLEAR MEDICINE AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. THE DEPARTMENT PLACES STRONG EMPHASIS ON THE QUALITY OF TEACHING-BOTH IN DIDACTIC LECTURES AND IN INDIVIDUAL CASE-BASED TEACHING.WITH THE ADVENT OF RECENT CHANGES IN RESIDENCY TRAINING, THE CURRICULUM HAS RECENTLY BEEN REVISED SO THAT RESIDENTS UNDERTAKE A COURSE OF STUDY WHICH WILL PERMIT THEM TO OBTAIN EXPERTISE NOT JUST IN CLINICAL SUBSPECIALTIES BUT ALSO IN OTHER KEY AREAS SUCH AS RESEARCH, EDUCATION, GLOBAL HEALTH, QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, AND HEALTH POLICY. RADIOLOGIC PHYSICS HAS BEEN INTEGRATED INTO DAILY DIDACTIC SESSIONS. IN ADDITION, MANY DIDACTIC SESSIONS UTILIZE AUDIENCE RESPONSE TECHNOLOGY, VIDEO-RECORDING, AND IPAD2 TECHNOLOGY.THERE ARE NINE FORMAL SECTIONS IN THE DEPARTMENT: ABDOMINAL IMAGING, BREAST IMAGING, CARDIOVASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY (CVIR), MRI, MUSCULOSKELETAL IMAGING, NEURORADIOLOGY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE, ULTRASOUND, AND THORACIC IMAGING. MOST NON-ANGIOGRAPHIC INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED BY THE RESPECTIVE SERVICES. RESIDENTS ROTATING THROUGH THESE SECTIONS ARE PROVIDED WITH READING SUGGESTIONS AND MATERIAL. ACADEMIC ROTATIONS ARE MADE UP OF THIRTEEN 4-WEEK BLOCKS ANNUALLY. AT THE END OF EACH ROTATION RESIDENTS RECEIVE WRITTEN EVALUATIONS AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE THE STAFF.FIRST YEAR ROTATIONS EMPHASIZE FUNDAMENTALS AND COMMON RADIOLOGIC EXAMINATIONS IN PREPARATION FOR INPATIENT AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBILITIES.
