Attend the Mental Health Marketing Conference Oct. 1-3, 2024. For behavioral health marketers, executives, clinicians and outreach professionals.
Talk to your doctor about mental health. Not yours. Theirs. 78% of physicians agree there’s a culture of stigma around mental health and seeking mental healthcare among other physicians. Partly, they’re concerned about seeking mental health care based on questions asked in their licensure and accreditation paperwork. There are so many reasons why mental health has been left out of health care. This has to be a factor. Cardiology pays. Ortho pays. In a fee for service world, mental health historically just hasn’t paid. It’s a service line loss leader. But we pay the cost. We’re basically in an economic depression every year with a $282 billion loss per year due to mental health and mental illness challenges. But the answer isn’t as easy as lower the rates. It may help some. Payor reimbursement have been historically low for mental health care. We need more clarity on mental health outcomes though we’re making progress. Health systems have been perfectly positioned in their communities and often the first company that comes to mind when there’s an emergency. But many health systems haven’t invested in behavioral health infrastructure. Some of them are like cities. Cities that failed to forecast and allocate funds to build freeways and public transportation. Now there are traffic jams. We shouldn’t be surprised. They are seeing their ERs filled with behavioral health issues and co-occurring emergencies. They’re adapting. Playing catch-up. Some of them are buying behavioral health companies. Others are building out infrastructure and are ready to market their services. There are some healthcare organizations that approach mental healthcare from an altruistic standpoint. Some health systems and payors are taking on more risk with managed care to focus more on quality outcomes. I believe health systems remain positioned to be an incredible resource around mental healthcare now and as we go forward. If you’re a health system marketer and could use some help learning the language of mental health, come to the Mental Health Marketing Conference this October. Last year nearly 4% of our audience were health systems. I’d love to see that number double. And double again. P.S. And yes, ask your doctor about your mental health too. A lot can happen from a conversation.

Master of chaos-busting with neurodivergent souls drowning in their clutter. We sprinkle some SHiFT® magic to help them embrace a life they truly deserve!
https://lnkd.in/gkZF3NA9 I am so excited to (hopefully) make history for the organizing world by signing the petition to have LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZERS (LPO). IF YOU want to join me in making history---please sign the petition. ABOUT this project: Our ultimate vision is for medical professionals to prescribe licensed professional organizing services to address clinical clutter and hoarding behaviors, revolutionizing treatment options and enhancing patient outcomes. The recognition of LPOs as allied health professionals will be transformative. The critical role we play in improving public health through organization and efficiency remains largely unrecognized within the healthcare sector. This petition is a crucial step towards changing that. By establishing the role of Licensed Professional Organizer (LPO) as an allied health profession, we can finally gain the recognition and credibility needed to expand our impact.

Creating and discerning employer and consultant solutions for market challenges in health care - Advanced primary care, Value-Based Care, ACOs, Health Systems
2024 Trend to watch from the Business Group on Health While employers have long been focused on health care costs, there is a greater sense of urgency heading into 2024. A forecasted higher-than-historical trend, suggesting that, despite investments in technology and clinical innovation, as well as efforts to manage utilization and waste, the already high U.S. health care costs show little sign of abating. There are many factors fueling this, including general inflation, labor pressures on health care systems, growing concern over provider shortages, burgeoning mental health needs, missed and deferred preventive screenings leading to more late-stage cancer diagnoses and worsening of chronic conditions. Trends to Watch in 2024 | Business Group on Health (businessgrouphealth.org) How will you address these challenges? The same way you have over the past 5 years and expect different results? Marathon Health might be a solution. DM me and lets assess your challenges. #valuebasedcare #valuebasedhealthcare #primarycare #advancedprimarycare #vbc

An important read 👍
An opinion about the future of our health and social care system, informed by working as an NHS GP. I felt the need to share the following as every day working in primary care brings home the stark reality of the situation we are in.... If we do not significantly improve the metabolic health of the population then healthcare that is free at the point of need is finished. This is because 50% of the demand in primary care is directly related to poor metabolic health. The range of conditions is diverse. This includes type 2 diabetes, dementia, increased infection risk, musculoskeletal conditions, skin conditions, heart disease, poor mental health and many many more. Most of these are "modern diseases" or conditions that shouldn't exist, at least not in the massive prevalence we are seeing. The NHS was simply not designed for this level of sickness. Added to this, there is significant loss of independence being experienced by people at an increasingly young age, due to the consequences of poor metabolic health. The needs this creates cannot be met by the current social care services. Even if it was politically desired, I suspect a publicly funded service to meet this level of need is not possible. More positively, there are so many of us trying to tackle this poor metabolic health tsunami. It is a fixable problem and I am confident that collectively we can make significant and rapid inroads. The solutions and actions needed are diverse and broad. But, in the short-term of the next 1-2 decades, I think we need to appreciate our state-funded health and social care system has collapsed and does not adequately achieve what people expect or hope it will. (If "metabolic health" is a new term to you this free resource created for NHS patients is a quick summary. There is no product or service to sell in this resource. www.metabolichealth.guide )

The NHS is on the Brink: Can We Afford Rising Demand Fueled by Poor Metabolic Health? Understanding the Core Issue Metabolic health is linked to inflammation, a key driver of many chronic conditions. Poor metabolic health, characterised by obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidaemia, leads to chronic low-grade inflammation, contributing to diseases like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. Preventable and Reversible Conditions Inflammatory diseases rooted in poor metabolic health are preventable and reversible through lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and stress management. Impact on the NHS As Cambell reminded us, 50% of primary care demand is linked to metabolic health issues, overwhelming the NHS. Conditions like type 2 diabetes, dementia, and cardiovascular diseases are rising, necessitating a shift towards prevention. The Role of Diet and Lifestyle Diet significantly influences inflammation. Diets high in processed foods and unhealthy fats contribute to poor metabolic health. Conversely, diets rich in whole foods reduce inflammation. Economic and Social Implications Metabolic health’s economic impact on the NHS is substantial. Diabetes alone consumes 10% of the NHS budget. Socially, increasing numbers experience loss of independence and quality of life due to metabolic health issues. The Path Forward A multi-faceted approach is essential: 1. Public Health Campaigns: Raise awareness about metabolic health. 2. Policy Changes: Promote healthy eating and physical activity. 3. Healthcare System Reforms: Focus on prevention, including regular screenings. 4. Community Support: Support healthy living initiatives. Conclusion Improving metabolic health is crucial for the NHS’s sustainability. While current healthcare may seem dire, solutions are within reach. Through collective effort and preventive care, we can ensure a healthier future.
