This is especially prominent at Children's hospitals. Research has shown that patient use of inpatient acupuncture services decreases the overall patient length of stay and decreases frequent readmission rates. (So it saves the healthcare system money while improving patient outcomes when you take a long-term view.)</p><p>Outpatient & ambulatory acupuncture services are a great addition to many healthcare teams, including behavioral health, functional rehabilitation, oncology, pediatrics, primary care, and even (wonderfully) mother-baby in perinatal and postpartum care.</p><p>At the HHP, we are a professional development community that shares & discusses best practices in program standards and employment practices. Both are key aspects to helping maintain, grow, and even initiate programs in these healthcare settings.</p></blockquote><p></p><p>Source: <a href="https://mailchi.mp/e5d716c011a7/march-is-womens-history-month-sharing-how-the-hhps-work-is-connected-to-this-months-observation-of-recognizing-women-and-work-led-by-women" target="_blank">This 3/21/2022 HHP newsletter</a>.</p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: black; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top">You can support this work today with a <a href="https://secure.givelively.org/donate/free-range-health/the-hospital-handbook-project-for-acupuncturists-and-their-hospital-sponsors" style="color: #007c89; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">tax-deductible donation here</a>.<br /><br />Learn more about how to support this nonprofit work<a href="https://www.thehospitalhandbook.com/sponsorscontributors" style="color: #007c89; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"> at our website</a>.<br /><br />If you are curious to learn more about our work, besides looking around our website, I recommend <a href="https://www.thehospitalhandbook.com/blog/2021/6/29/hhp-newsletters" style="color: #007c89; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">perusing our past newsletters here</a>. <br /><br /><em>The Hospital Handbook Project for Acupuncturists and Their Hospital Sponsors is a program of Free Range Health®, a 501(c)(3) public charity.

life’s events and the stories that flow from those reactions. Pausing allows
your mind to take a break, so you can be with life as it is vs. how you’d like
life to be. Pausing is also part of a larger cycle of work and renewal, a
rhythmic flow of life. Pausing’s not merely a good idea. It’s a required
nutrient like air or water."</i> </span></blockquote><blockquote>Source: article from <i><a href="https://www.mindfulleader.org/blog/44061-the-power-of-a-pause" target="_blank">Mindful Leader</a></i> </blockquote><p></p>

leaders, delivery organizations, and associations can use to make significant
advances toward safer care and reduced harm across the continuum of care.” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“The report harnesses the knowledge and insights of the
National Steering Committee for Patient Safety (NSC) members, including
influential federal agencies, leading health care organizations, patient and
family advisors, and respected industry experts, into a set of actionable and
effective recommendations to advance patient safety.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“The National Action Plan centers on four foundational
and interdependent areas, prioritized as essential to create total systems
safety. The recommendations in these four areas build on the substantial body
of experience, evidence, and lessons learned that the NSC has gathered and will
test and implement together to allow for future refinements as our
understanding, experience, and evidence evolve over time.”</p></blockquote><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>The National Action Plan has a list of 17 recommendations

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Access <a href="https://forms.gle/7bCM4VcaTTnfpgZQ7" target="_blank">the survey here</a></span></h4>
<br />
<b>Background</b><br />
As you know, I have been hosting community discussion zoom sessions since mid-March to help the hospital-based acupuncture community discuss and share ideas on the pandemic prep & response. And, all the share-able content generated from those sessions so far is (and continues to be) uploaded to the<a href="https://hospital-practice-basics.teachable.com/p/community-discussion-on-pandemic-response1" target="_blank"> online resource module here.</a><br />
<br />
Three weeks ago a colleague recommended creating a survey to capture all the information on all the changes in a format that can:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Be edited by the data entrant [because things change!]</li>
<li>Create some summaries</li>
<li>Be a quick source of share-able community information</li>
</ol>
<br />
<b>Situation</b><br />
I finished edits on it last week and it is up and running! It is available for acupuncturists and program managers who work with acupuncturists to input their information.<br />
<br />
<b>Assessment & Recommendation</b><br />
This could be a useful resource for the community during this time of great change<i> if enough of us complete it.</i><br />
Please complete the survey to the best of your knowledge for your program and share this link with other hospital-based practice colleagues.<br />
<br />
<b>Who can take the survey?</b><br />
Anyone who works in an organization or facility that is accredited by or eligible for accreditation by The Joint Commission.<br />
<br />
<b>What is "hospital-based"?</b><br />
For purposes of this survey, <i>I define "hospital-based"</i> as any organization or workplace that is accredited by or eligible for accreditation by The Joint Commission. This definition includes FQHCs, county clinics, community health centers, and other federal health care spaces.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">

scheduled for Saturday, June 20<sup>th</sup>, 2020, starting at 0900 Central.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Telehealth Programs in Hospital-based Acupuncture Practice: Pivoting in the Pandemic</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Why this online event?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Hospital Practice Handbook Project has been hosting
community discussion space online and in live zoom sessions at least weekly since
mid-March for the hospital-based community to provide space for discussion,
problem-solving, and sharing examples of innovation as we all respond to the
pandemic in our various programs and through different stages of closing and
re-opening.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The content approved to share with the community from those
discussions are located <a href="https://hospital-practice-basics.teachable.com/p/community-discussion-on-pandemic-response1">in
this online resource module</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Out of these sessions came a consistent need to do even
more, particularly to host our own conference on telehealth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Why a telehealth event specific to hospital-based
acupuncture programs?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Telehealth capability is critical for all clinicians in the
phased clinic opening/closing as communities respond to the pandemic. Some
organizations had a telehealth program in place before the pandemic, but many
stood theirs up during the pandemic as a way to support and protect both provider
personnel and patients during a respiratory-based pandemic. Some are still in
the process of standing theirs up and looking to the community for examples
that match their system.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, not all systems have been supportive or
understanding of how acupuncturists can work via telehealth (vs. in-person),
citing “lack of access to current examples”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>So, here we are, presenting current examples of telehealth
programs in hospital-based acupuncture practice. And, having a professional Socratic
discussion on the related topics.</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<b>University of WA Survey of Acupuncturists during the COVID-19 Pandemic</b><br />
<ul>
<li>For those of you practicing as acupuncturists, check out this IRB-approved survey from a colleague who is doing this research through the University of Washington. Looks like she is collecting data on how the pandemic is affecting practice, from direct clinical care to pivots in online resources including the use of telehealth: <a href="https://redcap.iths.org/surveys/?s=7FTTYN73X9&">https://redcap.iths.org/surveys/?s=7FTTYN73X9&</a> </li>
<ul>
<li><b>suspension date:</b> the survey closes June 8th, 2020</li>
</ul>
<li>More info: </li>
<ul>
<li>The survey is intended for ALL licensed acupuncturists. You don't need to have a telehealth service in place to respond to the survey. One of the aims of this survey is to set the stage for larger survey studies of profession-wide effects similar to the benchmark studies in other healthcare professions. </li>
<li>The estimated time to complete the survey is 5 minutes.</li>

<b>New Research Paper on Relevance of Telehealth Programs During Pandemic and Beyond, from a Duke University Team</b><br />
<ul>
<li>At a time when I hear disagreement in the definition of "telehealth", I offer this very useful definition they published, which dispels all previous confusing terminology I have heard in the medical field the last year or so:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>"The term 'telehealth' refers to the entire spectrum of activities used to deliver care at a distance--without direct physical contact with the patient. Telehealth encompasses both provider-to-patient and provider-to-provider communications and can take place synchronously (telephone and video), asynchronously (patient portal messages, e-consults), and through virtual agents (chatbots) and wearable devices."</b></span></i></blockquote>

"Join NCCIH and our director, Dr. Helene Langevin,
as we launch NCCIH’s strategic planning process for the next 5-year plan
(2021–2026). We will kick off this year-long process with a webinar for the
complementary and integrative health community on the topic of 'Whole Person
Health.' Dr. Langevin will share her thoughts on this topic, which considers
the whole person and the relationships among numerous factors, including
biologic, environmental, behavioral, mental, and social factors, in determining
health. She will also focus on how this concept fits into and expands upon
NCCIH’s current strategic plan and may serve as a way to inform our strategic
planning and future research directions.<br />
"Input gathered as a result of this event will feed into the NCCIH
strategic planning process being led by Ms. Mary Beth Kester, Director of the
NCCIH Office of Policy, Planning, and Evaluation.<br />
"Dr. Langevin presented initial thoughts on this topic at the afternoon

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Our Vision for the HH Project</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
last revised 3.3.2020</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In 2016 I created this wisdom-sharing resource, the Hospital-Based Practice Handbook Project for Acupuncturists and their Hospital Sponsors (Administrators). The Project supports this challenging new avenue of employment for acupuncturists. The Project enables hospital program managers to learn and share the latest evidence-based practices and research in the integrative medicine field and include the acupuncturists in each step.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>The Project is a resource for licensed acupuncturists</b><i style="font-weight: bold;">. </i>More acupuncturists are being hired in hospitals, FQHCs, hospice, county clinics, and other mid to large healthcare systems. The Project is designed to streamline these hiring procedures and promote the integration of acupuncturists into any hospital's biopsychosocial patient-centered care model. Specifically, the Project facilitates a clear understanding of how acupuncturists' procedures and approaches can complement ongoing patient care in each service line. This can reduce miscommunication about the hiring of licensed acupuncturists as well as illustrate the value of LAcs as health care professionals working as advanced practice clinicians.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Project helps hospitals streamline the hiring of licensed acupuncturists by providing the hiring staff and credentialing team with published standards on hiring and credentialing of them. The Project connects users to resources that include basic program frameworks--from standard operating procedures (SOPs) to clinical outcome metrics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>The Project is a resource for program managers. </b>Whether the goal is to address increased patient demand for integrative health services or to meet Joint Commission, CDC, and HHS/CMS recommendations for non-pharm options for pain management, this resource is an important asset for the champions and change-makers in the healthcare field. It provides documentation standards and templates as well as practical program standards and outcome metrics. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<u>The Project is a knowledge-sharing network</u> designed to quickly and successfully implement a cross-section of programs, from new program setup to selection of relevant metrics that track cost savings and patient-centered outcomes. Whether it's program success in these patient-centered outcomes or improved access to non-pharm pain care, the Project provides versatile applications for all hospital programs. It also presents effective models for revenue generation as well as service reimbursement.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
The Project supports individual program managers as well as their hospital by facilitating connections</div>
between other managers who work with integrative health (IH) professionals or run IH programs. This is important because it helps in-house acupuncturists understand the pressures and standards the facility is working toward; for example, it's handy for developing (or improving) a clinic's outcome measures to align its metrics with the facility's larger mission and vision.<br />

The Project connects standards of practice in documentation (coding, use of relevant research-validated metrics), compliance, billing, and reimbursement models, and research. It also connects the user to resources in health policy, thus directly affecting an acupuncturist's hospital-based practice.</div>

<b>A Resource for All.</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
The Project is designed for use by all healthcare professionals, not just licensed acupuncturists. It can help both program managers and LAcs streamline a set of new programs before they are implemented or assist with the move into new areas by connecting colleagues such that everyone can learn from each other's successes and failures.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
The Project connects users to relevant published research and program frameworks (from feasibility studies to pragmatic trials.) This offers great potential for collaboration in multi-site research projects. The Project hosts discussions of relevant research in the field as well as vetted recommendations for continuing education resources, whether it's through courses or conferences. Included are both closed group resources for discussion and social support through connections to mentors and existing resources and the beta-testing of new resources.</div>

Now that we live in the Mid-South and my husband is on shore duty, I am taking the opportunity to travel with my kids to visit my family (just a two-day drive in the car each direction now) in Minnesota as much as we are able. As you may remember, we moved from the Pacific Northwest to western TN in the Mid-South of the U.S.A. in July 2018. One of my kids had a flare in a chronic health condition so we didn't travel until late March 2019, during spring break.<br />
<br />
For our first <a href="https://blog01.thehospitalhandbook.com/2019/03/highlights-from-maple-syrup-march.html" target="_blank">"maple syrup March"</a> we headed to the multi-generational family farm to assist (mostly watch and learn from) my uncle gather sap from the sugar bush (grove of maple trees). In summer we escaped the southern heat for a few weeks visiting family and then attended a family funeral.<br />

In fall we again were able to escape the autumn heat of the Mid-South during fall break where we squished in time with extended family in Rochester and the North Shore, including a wedding, and a quick visit with our integrative health colleagues at the Mayo Clinic. I received a copy of their latest (2017) <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2t4kEaH" target="_blank">Guide to Integrative Medicine: Conventional remedies meet alternative therapies to transform health</a></i> by Brent A. Bauer, MD. I recently rediscovered one of the older copies that survived all the household moves (2007).<br />
<br />
In early September my oldest was officially in remission (no more flare). Hooray! In late September my mom was hospitalized for anemia and later diagnosed with cancer. So this fall has been a rollercoaster of health issues with my family.<br />

<i>The goal with the creation of the membership site</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The goal was to have an online community space that is not dependent on social media
and it is accessible through online direct login and/or by email with updates and reminders available to be sent via email. This, the membership site, was a strong request from
about 25-30% of the community who are opting out of social media and 50% who
have social media accounts but prefer email communication.</div>

The new HH Project goal in 2018 was to identify types of
people using the HH Project resources and brainstorm ideas on how to best serve
them. So, in 2019 I created the following "user-flow" outline and started the “specific resource

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i>See minutes 07:55—14:00 for the related section of the
video interview</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Dr. Budhathoki attended Pacific College of Oriental
Medicine (PCOM) San Diego where she obtained her master’s degree in acupuncture
and oriental medicine. Then, she studied healthy aging and longevity at Yo
San<span style="font-size: 10.6667px;"> </span>University
in Los Angeles, CA, where she received her doctorate degree in the field.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In November 2009 she opened a private practice in Salt
Lake City, Utah, where she enjoyed working as part of a patient’s healthcare
team. She started work at Huntsman Cancer Institute <i>pro re nata </i>(PRN),
in the summer of 2012 and by October 2012 she was a full-time employee there.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>A Doctoral Degree in Healthy Aging & Longevity:
Everything at Huntsman is a Longevity Prescription</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i>minute 16:00</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Megan: So, you said your doctorate was in
healthy aging and longevity. What are some things you love about
your work at Huntsman?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: So, getting that doctoral degree in healthy aging
and longevity my goal was to marry the ancient concepts of longevity with life
after cancer and with cancer. So that our patients can get the very
best results they have possible. <u>I see everything in our hospital as a
longevity prescription</u>. So, our entire goal as a hospital is
about patient care and about allowing a patient to get those best days as long
as possible to be increasing their quality of life...to be with family, to be
doing what they want to do, to be enjoying their days.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And that’s really empowering to me to be able to take
these ancient pieces…, integrate [them] into what Huntsman is doing at large
with treating cancer and giving patients these really amazing and sustainable
results.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And that gives me goosebumps because I think patients
feel that when they come to Huntsman, we are focused on them and their
priorities of quality of life and improving their life for as long as possible.
At Huntsman, we treat patients and caregivers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b>What is your favorite thing to do in hospital practice</b>?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: Working with patients at the wellness center. The
Wellness Center helps patients regain their own power. The patients can work on
themselves while the oncology teams work on their cancer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Acupuncture helps these patients with their stress and
improves their sleep. Acupuncture is empowering for them during a difficult
time. We reach the patients where they are. Often offering them hope in a
unique way.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>The Linda B. & Robert B. Wiggins Wellness and
Integrative Health Center at Huntsman Cancer Institute</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Dr. Pamela Hansen began the Wellness Center in 2005
with the “power exercise” program. This grassroots program out of an auxiliary bathroom<span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt;"> hel</span></span>ped
patients with exercise and movement while they were undergoing cancer
treatment. This wellness center is one of the few wellness centers inside
an academic cancer hospital. It has grown to include over 36-39 programs
depending upon the season. And, the Wellness Center publishes a quarterly
catalog for patients, caregivers, and staff.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In 2005-2007 the wellness center program was very small.
Just an afternoon session, once a week. And it had a big waiting
list. So, in 2012, they decided to bring acupuncture on full time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
This year, the wellness program has 4 acupuncturists and
9 massage therapists. The Wellness Center’s clinical services are available
from 7AM to 7PM most days Monday through Friday. In the wellness center,
acupuncture and massage have a daily treatment average of 20-25 patients per
day for each program. Last year, in 2018 the whole wellness center
saw over 25,000 patients in our more than three dozen programs. [<i>minute 13
of the video interview]</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The Wellness Center is an outpatient acupuncture practice
inside the cancer hospital. The acupuncturists treat the side
effects and symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment [such as] neuropathy, pain,
nausea, insomnia, and hot flashes.<b> </b>Dr. Annie Budhathoki also does
inpatient acupuncture for hospitalized oncology patients.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b>Wellness Center Funding and Revenue Streams</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: The Wellness and Integrative Health Center at
Huntsman Cancer Hospital is a budgeted program supported and directed by our
patient-centered administration. Most of our programs are low-cost to no-cost; programs
with a fee are generally reduced costs similar to a copay. Acupuncture is a
fee-for-service program and the cost to the patients, caregivers, and staff is
$40. Additionally, Huntsman has a financial assistance program that supports
persons living on a low income and our wellness center offers a sliding scale
within this program. Currently, very few of the insurance providers in the
state of Utah cover acupuncture, so we don’t have insurance billing set-up for
our acupuncture services. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>The Wellness Center is a Place Where Patients Regain
Their Power </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i>minute 22</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: You know, the Wellness Center [is amazing; ] we
have all this programming. At Huntsman, we have a supportive oncology
team. Dr. Anna Beck is the director of supportive oncology; when she
came to Huntsman [she reshaped] the models for integrative medicine. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
This wellness center is a place where people are
empowered to take charge of their health while going through cancer treatment
and beyond into survivorship.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As providers, we have the opportunity to support people
affected by cancer to overcome various health and wellness obstacles. We ensure
each person feels empowered to improve and maintain their individual health
despite their cancer diagnosis or former health status. When championing the
best care of each specific symptom, we work together as an integrative team
supporting the goals and betterment of each patient. Often this includes
referring them into various programs that also support their needs, knowing
that this is how they can continue to regain their power.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In the Wellness Center, we are supporting the basic
health needs and daily quality of life issues which affects a person’s ability
to function. We manage symptoms like nausea, fatigue or sleep while
their physicians are working on the cellular level to attack their cancer or on
a surgical level to get things taken care of.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
[In oncology the side effects of chemotherapy, radiation,
surgery can be disempowering] for a patient because medicine takes over. And
rightfully so in many cases so that those specific diseases can’t become
chronic illnesses or can be cured if you will. But in wellness and
integrative health and especially acupuncture and massage, fitness,
nutrition—this is where patients really get a chance to shine on their own; to
regain their power. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Advice for those of you working in integrative
oncology</b> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: As you practice in a hospital setting, keep that
in mind: how do the patients remain empowered with their own health care
as they go through that? <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b>The Inpatient Acupuncture Program at Huntsman Cancer
Institute</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: We started the inpatient acupuncture
program with an Imagine Perfect Care grant from the University of
Utah. The inpatient acupuncture program began in September 2018.<span style="background: aqua; color: black;"><br />
</span>We started that program on the oncology floor, working with symptoms
like nausea or constipation or ir-retractable vomiting. [Any]
symptoms that would keep a patient in the hospital and extend their stays and
prevent them from going home. [Eventually the program] moved into the surgical
ward and into other parts of the hospital. But the initial work was
symptom-based, treating any issues that would keep a patient in the hospital
too long.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b>What is the goal of integrating acupuncturists at
Huntsman?</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Megan: So, you’re using acupuncture as a
complement to ongoing care to help people have shorter inpatient stays?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: Our goal, long-term is to show the
efficacy of acupuncture in an inpatient oncology clinic in a hospital and to
show feasibility as far as reducing costs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We believe acupuncture is a cost-saving measure for the
hospital overall. Whether that’s a reduction of opioid use, whether
that’s reduced hospital stays, or reducing re-admission rates; that’s really
our goal.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: So, Huntsman is a research
institution. [Research is] a foundational force of Huntsman alongside
our clinical care. Research is really embedded throughout the hospital. In the

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

[Related to] the acupuncture program we currently have a

leading mindfulness researcher.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: In the integrative medicine pathway, we [have
several learning structures]. We do panel discussions about integrative
medicine. We’re developing a modalities class. There are
different ways in which we work together to educate medical students. [The
vision is] to develop their [knowledge base on integrative health] and [improve
their ability and confidence] in referring to integrative medicine and
utilizing it in their future [healthcare workplaces].<o:p></o:p></div>

integration and help the physicians be informed and feel comfortable referring
to different integrative medicine services.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: I really love that. I think, you know, spending a
day with a student, a medical student is very powerful. A whole day together in
an acupuncture clinic where they can ask all the questions they have in the
world. And they can try the needle and they can explore the ideas on how to
find an acupuncturist; “what could I use it for in my specialty?”. For me, that
also gives me goosebumps for the future. Because I think that being a template
or a first impression on acupuncture for their field is very rewarding.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: “I think when it comes to work-related challenges,
I think that our education [programs] as a whole need to do a better job at the
literacy of speaking with elite oncologists, amazing world-class surgeons,
nursing staff, and then, of course, patients.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie recommends you learn and practice research
literacy, study your hospital-based specialty<span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt;"> w</span></span>hether it is oncology or OB/GYN.
When you do this, you are better prepared to be “at the table [and] present our
profession in the very best way possible”. The key factor in good communication
with someone is language. Integrate both the practices and languages of TCM and
Western medicine to “create a synthesized dialog that medical professionals can
understand.” <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: “Many of the ancient tools we were given are

<i><u>Dr. Annie Budhathoki’s Advice for Students and

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The educators at acupuncture programs could do better at
informing students about research literacy and how it relates to growing the
acupuncture practice field. The language of research is essential to know and
hone for communication with your hospital practice team, your physician
advocates/physician champions, and your hospital administrators. Dr.
Budhathoki’s doctorate degree, she says, helped her build and grow research in
the field.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Take time, on a regular basis, to read the research in your
field and related fields and discuss it with your colleagues.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Megan: <i>This skill, research literacy, is one of

possible. Thread every piece of [new] information you have into that
dream as you learn. So, as you attain that dream and those pieces
come together, your dream then expands. And then, once you get that dream job,
you [then] see all the professors, all of the people… that guided you
and mentored you. And, like in my case now I am guiding and
mentoring. And so, the dream expands.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Dr. Budhathoki’s advice for the New Hospital

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Hone your patient care skills. “Sharpen your diamond”,
Dr. Budhathoki says. “Become a masterful practitioner” in your facility, for
your specialty, for your patients. Ways to hone your skills may include:
completing a doctoral degree, practicing your research literacy skills, and
reading acupuncture books written by physicians to better understand their
perspective.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i><u>On Gloving During Clinical Care: “Always Wear
Gloves”</u></i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Dr. Budhathoki wants all her hospital-based practice
colleagues, especially those working with immune-compromised patients to think
about where the microbes are. Keep infectious disease at the forefront of your
mind. Hand washing is extra important with immune-compromised patients.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Annie: Keep the patient in the forefront of your mind.
Think about what is best for them and the risks involved. Align the safety of
the patient with meeting their needs for symptom/condition. Keep the patient is
as safe as possible. Always wear gloves. Hospital gloves are very thin and
there are some good tricks to getting them to fit you well. Once you get used
to them, it will not interfere with your palpation skills.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I never want to bring what I have from my life into a
patient’s internal environment. So, as a protection for myself and as a
protection for the patient, gloving is my number one [priority in my hospital
practice environment]. Get to know your infectious disease
nurse. Get to know your infectious disease
team. [Contemplate] where things live and how they live on you and
others so you are not putting a patient at risk any time, ever, including
yourself.<o:p></o:p></div>

Annie: “So, who do you know who really loves
acupuncture in your hospital? Who can become your physician
champion? And, as you find a champion, you know, what is their dream

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Allow them [your physician champion] to help you grow and
[expand your work/your program]. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Find your physician champion. This is your advocate to
help you grow and connect with others.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Ask your hospital champion what you can do for them.
Don’t email your champion too frequently.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Be concise, courteous and respectful of their time. For
example, when communicating with them, use three bullet points, no more. They
are very busy and get hundreds of emails a day.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i>Sometimes we talk about them as our “change agents” or
our “advocates” or “hospital sponsors”. There are different terms for
this. In the Project, I call them our “hospital sponsors” because
sometimes they are not a physician, sometimes they are a nurse
practitioner. Basically, a <u>sponsor</u> or <u>champion</u> is
someone very established in the system who wants to advocate for you. This is a
very important connection. <a href="https://blog01.thehospitalhandbook.com/2015/09/the-sponsor-issue-acupuncturists-and.html">More

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Look at programs that have acupuncturists integrated as

<b><span style="color: #454545; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Review</span></span></b></h4>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #454545; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, Chair of the Department of
Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California at San
Francisco discussed a report from the National Academy of Sciences on ways to
incorporate social care into health care. She shared examples of what shifts
are occurring in the American health system in managing upstream causes of
disease. These upstream determinants include where we live and work and what we
eat. She also shared how healthcare organizations can integrate and what
components are needed to make it a reality.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #454545; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dr. Bibbins-Domingo identified two activities that must happen
within a healthcare system to address social determinants of health: direct
assistance to patients (i.e. vouchers for transportation and implementing
telehealth options) and partnering with community organizations in alignment
and advocacy to create policy. There was more emphasis on involving the community
partners and participating in community-based settings as the key to success in
these endeavors. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #454545; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">From a leadership standpoint, they must ensure that their
interprofessional teams include experts in addressing social needs (i.e. social
workers, community health workers, gerontologies), valuing what those areas of
healthcare offered to the whole picture of health for the patient. All team
members should be at least aware of the social determinants of health even if they
are not directly treating that cause. Leaders should see the value in this type
of focused care coordination for populations with complex co-morbidities. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #454545; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When asked about major trends, Dr. Bibbins-Domingo spoke about a
shift of reimbursement based on volume to value. This has forced healthcare
systems to rethink their approach to these complex diseases and put the focus on
the social factors of health. The other major trend is treating the adolescent
population at high risk for disease by treating risk factors before the disease has
a chance to take hold. As a researcher, Dr. Bibbins-Domingo also emphasized the
importance of data in the efficacy of population health initiatives. She spoke
about the need for diverse data in shaping healthcare strategies and providing
new insights for population health. “Insights in biology comes from
understanding the heterogeneity that exists in our population”, she said. These
insights can then be used to create evidence-based policy by working with
policymakers. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #454545; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">She finished the interview with a vision of more healthcare
students who would be equally interested in research.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hospital-based acupuncturists can use this language when
building relationships with other departments and specialties. Our medicine is
grounded in the biopsychosocial approach to health and a significant portion of
our patient population has complex co-morbidities. We can expand our roles out
of the strictly “acupuncturist”, [we also teach self-care tools, such as] tai
chi, qi gong, meditation, etc. To the teams we work with, I believe that we [have
much to] offer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Quotes from the NAM webpage:<o:p></o:p></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;">
"Patient-centered, high-quality health care
relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians.
However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are
detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in
the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to
address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of
health care."<br />
"<i>Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems
Approach to Professional Well-Being </i>builds upon two groundbreaking
reports from the past twenty years, <i>To Err is Human: Building a Safer
Health System </i>and <i>Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health
System for the 21st Century</i>, which both called attention to the issues
around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent,
consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a
framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional
well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being and
recommendations for the field." -<a href="https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25521/taking-action-against-clinician-burnout-a-systems-approach-to-professional" target="_blank">NAM webpage</a></blockquote>

<i>What is a NAM consensus study report?</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
Any "Consensus Study Report" from the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is the documentation
of the "evidence-based consensus on the study's statement of task by an
authoring committee of experts. Reports typically include findings, conclusions,
and recommendations based on information gathered by the committee and the
committee's deliberations. Each report has been subjected to a rigorous and
independent peer-review process and it represents the position of the National
Academies on the statement of task."<o:p></o:p></div>

“Taking time to reattach to work helps our work goals to
become more salient, which energizes us to focus. When we consider how to
achieve our goals, we become more aware of our autonomy to accomplish them, as
well as the resources and people we have supporting us. All of these factors
contribute to feeling more inspired and engaged at work—which, other research
suggests, is important for productivity.”</blockquote>

multiple screens to enter information. Workflows are getting better at being
simpler and faster, but still they add hours to a clinician’s day, taking away
valuable time spent interacting with and caring for patients. As the caretakers
for people’s health, every interaction a clinician has with an EHR system
should provide a clear benefit to their patients.</span><span style="color: #1c1e21; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Patients are still enteri<span class="textexposedshow">ng the same information on multiple forms and repeatedly
explaining symptoms. In some cases, information scrawled on paper patient
questionnaires may not be inputted into their digital chart. Deeper
interoperability could help patients avoid these frustrating, repetitive
interactions and also lead to better, more coordinated care by including more
historic information.</span></span><span style="color: #1c1e21; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Having payer data, such as coverages and
reimbursement rates, available at the point of care can give patients and

helpful for patients to understand out-of-pocket costs on treatments outside of
their plan coverage</u>.</span><span style="color: #1c1e21; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“However, one factor that currently erodes trust is
that different functions—administrators, nurses, doctors and payers—may not see
the same data set. They each have different views that restrict them from
seeing the whole picture, which is an issue especially for value-based
partnerships dependent upon more risk sharing.” [emphasis/underline added]</span></blockquote>

It is essential to the survival and thriving of human beings and human societies.</span><span style="color: #1c1e21; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“We now also know that resilience is one behavioral outcome of a mature, well-functioning prefrontal cortex in the brain. Importantly, whether we’re facing a series of small annoyances or an utter disaster, resilience is teachable, learnable, and recoverable. It takes practice, and it takes awareness, but that power always lies within us."</span></blockquote>

Review on "What is Self-care?"</h3>
Taking time for self-care in your day and week, from a few minutes here to 30 minutes to several hours at a time, are drops of water into your resilience bucket. A full resilience bucket makes it easier to weather the storms of life and work. A half-full or empty bucket provides little defense or support when the storms hit and make it easy to get swept away or feel like you are drowning. Fill your bucket, minutes or seconds at a time. Make regular drops or cups of self-care into your bucket part of your daily and weekly routine (habits) to keep it closer to <i>full</i>. Consider the following categories of self-care when you are filling your bucket:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Movement:</b> any movement from walking, hiking, dancing, tai chi, bicycling, swimming, or other forms of active movement and exercise</li>
<li><b>Mindset/inspiration and reflective reading:</b> any activity that encourages you to slow down and self-reflect. Forms this may take include journaling, qi gong/nei gong (inner-work qi gong), several types of mindfulness practice, reading poetry, some forms of prayer. </li>
<li><b>Spending time outdoors in nature:</b> going outside into fresh air and "green space" whether it is your backyard lawn, working in the garden, the local town park, pond, or creek, time at the beach, the botanic garden/arboretum/conservatory, doing chores at your friend's farm, or a trip to a state park or national park/federal lands.</li>
<li><b>Breathwork:</b> practice basic diaphragmatic breathing. It can be a simple breathing exercise, like the one below. Or maybe your breathwork self-care practice takes the form of any of the following: yoga, mindfulness meditation, qi gong, or tai chi</li>
<li><b>Nutrition/Food as fuel:</b> everything in moderation. talk with your health care provider before making any major changes to your food intake (diet), especially if you have a chronic health care condition.</li>
<li><b>Time "having fun", socializing, connecting to your community.</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul><ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><ul></ul>
</ul>
<i>Breathwork exercise, "belly breathing"</i><br />
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Breathwork is the conscious control of your breath. "Belly breathing" is practicing diaphragmatic breathing. This type of breathing induces the "rest and digest" phases of our nervous system, the parasympathetic response. This is an important practice because, in our modern world, we are often going about our day rushing, in a full or partial sympathetic (fight or flight) state.</li>
<li>Practice (self-care):</li>
<ul>
<li>Take a few moments to check in our breathing. One hand over your heart, one over your belly. Practice belly breathing (where your belly hand moves more with each breath than your heart hand does). </li>
<li>Breathe in for a count of 5 and out for a count of 7. Repeat 20 times.</li>
</ul>
<li>If you want, you can watch one of these videos while you practice:</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://youtu.be/4FPDgDyPEYY" target="_blank">PNW garden in light rain</a>. 1 minute. </li>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="mso-comment-continuation: 1;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This fall,
the American Society of Acupuncturists (ASA) was approved as a full member of
the American Medical Association (AMA) Health Care Professionals Advisory
Committee (HCPAC). This is critical to the ability of the acupuncturist
profession to participate in the national healthcare stage. It allows a licensed acupuncturist (professionals who have ACAOM accredited masters’ and
doctoral degrees in the field) profession to take part in conversations about
how our services are coded and billed, and aid in the creation of new codes.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“<span style="color: black;">Important factors such as the work of
the AMA and the HCPAC in shaping American healthcare are often
underappreciated. This committee acts as the voice for the non-MD/DO
professions in this insurance arena within the AMA, allowing input into
crafting the language that impacts our ability to bill and code for our
services. The ASA thanks the AMA for its allowance of our participation,
and we look forward to many years of productive contribution. We value the
chance to contribute with our colleagues in voicing the needs and interests of
the non-MD/DO provider community."</span></span></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: black;"> [The non-MD/DO provider community on the
HCPAC currently includes acupuncturists (new!), athletic trainers, audiologists,
chiropractors, dieticians & nutritionists, genetic counselors, massage
therapists, nurses, occupational therapists, optometrists, pharmacists, physical
therapists, physician assistants, podiatrists, psychologists, respiratory care
therapists, social workers, and speech therapists.]</span></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“The journey to have Licensed Acupuncturists represented formally
on this committee has been long. The ASA thanks AAAOM and the NCCAOM for their
continued and persistent support in this effort.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">
We also wish to acknowledge the work of Eric R. Buckley in leading us into this
process, and Mori West for bringing us to completion. Amy Mager, Kallie
Guimond, Dr. David Miller MD have been deeply involved in this process, as have
others at different points in this process. <span style="color: black;">We hope
this next step will help to mature the profession and allow us to best be
co-developers of integrative medicine in U.S. healthcare.</span>”</span></blockquote>

system are just a couple of the strategies Advocate Aurora Health uses to
reduce costs and improve care quality through their ACOs. But the investments

care contributes to the overall care of the patient and the other 80 percent
comes from social determinants. So, areas such as transportation, housing, and
financial security are important,’ he said. ‘Since we have a responsibility to
care for our patients and help them to achieve optimal health, we see
addressing social determinants not only as a responsibility, but also as an
effort that will help us provide care in the right area and improve access for
patients.’ </span> </blockquote>

<span style="color: #1c1e21; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“An example of how Advocate Aurora Health is
addressing social determinants of health is the implementation of NowPow….NowPow
is a mobile-enabled messaging and referral platform that enables the health system
to ‘prescribe’ non-medical resources to address patient care. </span><span style="background: yellow; color: #1c1e21;">The
technology has been a valuable resource for care managers. Care managers and
other providers already screen patients for food, housing, and transportation
security. But the platform uses that data to query a database of over 11,000
community resources to link patients to services in their neighborhood, and it
closes the feedback loop with clinical and community service providers.”</span> <i><a href="https://revcycleintelligence.com/news/advocate-aurora-invests-in-people-infrastructure-for-aco-success" target="_blank">Advocate Aurora Invests...</a> </i>emphasis added</blockquote>

initiate a rulemaking to create federal telemedicine program best practices:
the Secretary should consult with a range of stakeholders, including technology
experts, primary care providers, specialists, academic medical centers,
emergency medicine providers, federal agencies with expertise in this area, and

chemotherapy causes severe acute pain with folks doing stem cell transplant.
They burn from the inside out. Opioids help but they are also drying which
sometimes makes the healing time worse. Acupuncture appears to significantly
reduce the need for pain medications during transplant.” -Bobbee Vang, LAc. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Why this subject is important to hospital-based practice: it is

subjects include social determinants of health (SDOH), acupuncture changes in
patient perception (aka improves self-awareness) which thereby increases
patient involvement in their own behavior change (lifestyle modifications,

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Among the NIH HEAL initiative awards announced today are a combined $86.9 million over 6 years, pending the availability of funds, for initatives that NCCIH is leading or coleading. This includes, Pragmatic and Implementation Studies for the Management of Pain to Reduce Opioid Prescribing (PRISM), Behavioral Research to Improve Medication Assisted Treatment (BRIM), and the NIH Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program."<br />
"NIH HEAL Initiative research will develop non-addictive medications and nondrug treatments for pain and test new models of care in real-world settings. <span style="background-color: yellow;">This includes a controlled trial of acupuncture under PRISM for chronic low-back pain in adults 65 years and older, and NIH is working with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). </span>The results of this study will inform CMS coverage decisions. While some nondrug treatments of pain have been found to be effective, patients often do not have access to these treatments in their health care systems. The trials supported by the PRISM program will assess whether making these treatments directly available to patients with pain conditions improves their symptoms and ability to function."

<b>New publication from NAM on Clinician Burnout</b><br />
The National Academy of Medicine has a new publication on clinician burnout, <i>Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being</i>. **This is a <u>consensus study report</u>. The pdf download is free and available as of late October 2019. It will be available in paperback December 1st.<br />
For more information and the pdf download, go to this<a href="https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25521/taking-action-against-clinician-burnout-a-systems-approach-to-professional" target="_blank"> NAM webpage</a>.<br />
<br />
Quotes from the NAM webpage:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"<i>Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being </i>builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, <i>To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System </i>and <i>Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century</i>, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being and recommendations for the field." -<a href="https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25521/taking-action-against-clinician-burnout-a-systems-approach-to-professional" target="_blank">NAM webpage</a></blockquote>

<i>What is a NAM consensus study report?</i></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; min-height: 13.8px;">
Any "Consensus Study Report" from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is the documentation of the "evidence-based consensus on the study's statement of task by an authoring committee of experts. Reports typically include findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on information gathered by the committee and the committee's deliberations. Each report has been subjected to a rigorous and independent peer-review process and it represents the position of the National Academies on the statement of task."</div>

It is considered an important component of healthcare, but assessing it accurately can be difficult. After testing the three versions of this questionnaire on 107 patients, they pursued further modifications to emphasize “stop-and-think” reflection. In this second study, they distributed a second version of the questionnaire to 212 patients. Overall, they found that that the “stop-and-think” emphasis did not significantly alter the ratings.

Since we go through several rounds of this every year, I decided it is time I write something on this subject for the community. As of Jan 2020, the plan is to keep this survey open and compile responses every 6 months or as time & opportunity allow.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b>Goal: </b>Learn about the community's current questions and concerns about preparing for a Joint Commission visit. Share your "lessons learned" for a Joint Commission visit. Share any standard operating procedures (SOPs) or other advice that was helpful to you in preparing for a Joint Commission visit. Share any other advice or questions you have on this subject. Continue the discussion in the community on this topic.<br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Continue the discussion in the community about the topic</li>
<li>When enough information gathered, will create a summary document(s) available to the discussion community and a public blog post summary <a href="https://blog01.thehospitalhandbook.com/" target="_blank">via the blog</a> </li>
<li>Follow up interview potential about specific programs for those interested in participating, part of the "issues in hospital practice" community webinar/interview series.

<li>I will have the survey open through the holidays with a suspense date of 1.1.2020. I will compile responses received up to that time period. However, I can keep the survey open or re-open in the future and then compile notes received about every 6 months for the community. *Waiting to hear in this first round of information what the community would like as a resource.*</li>

<b>Why this survey</b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<ul>
<li>In the U.S., every hospital-based acupuncturist will come across The Joint Commission preparation and visit. And so will every acupuncturist who works in a Joint Commission accredited facility, including FQHC community health clinics. In an ideal situation, you had an awesome program manager/hospital admin who set up the whole program, from position description to credentialing to SOPs, to fly with sailing colors of quality assurance through the TJC process. And, that person has kept everyone up to par on all the quality assurance measures to stay compliant. However, that is an ideal situation. Many acupuncturists are new employees and might be encountering TJC prep rounds for the first time. This is an opportunity to connect with your community to wisdom-share with those who have set up programs, those in the process of setting up programs, and those who love the Metal Element of quality assurance. Because we need our Metal colleagues and their talents to round out all of us. When it comes to TJC visits, they shine. :) </li>
<li>The Hospital Handbook Project is about connecting people to each other and sharing wisdom. This is an important topic for us to start a more structured discussion on. I am looking forward to your feedback. </li>
<li>However, the Project is not a substitute for finding mentors in your own facility. The Project <i>can connect</i> <i>you virtually</i> with others dealing with the same or very similar issues and their solutions. For more about how much we value mentor-relationship building, please see the <i>First Steps</i> resources, available on the website.</li>

<i style="font-family: inherit;">How reference libraries and medical libraries work</i><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a clinician, you can go to your library (physical or
just online) and request they subscribe to a peer-reviewed journal(s) in your
field. Or, if there is a specific article that the library doesn’t have access to
and you only need that article, not the full journal access, request to order a
copy of that specific item.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will
need the full citation and to give the reason for the request. Examples:
“necessary for a presentation I am working on” or “directly related to my
professional practice.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Before making a request for a new item, verify your item isn't accessible</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Check to see if they (the library or your online reference
system, depending on how your workplace is organized) already have a
subscription to the journal you want. Verify what type of subscription it is.
For example, subscription types may be physical, electronic, or both.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If they have it, learn how you can access it from work. Is it online through your web browser? Do you need to set up a username/account for access? Do you log in to a specific employee site? Or do you contact your library and order a print copy or pdf to be sent to you? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If they don’t have access, you can request it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If your clinical work is part of an academic institution, sometimes
the medical library is connected to the medical school or the graduate studies building while your clinical space may be a long distance from the
physical building. In that case, some institutions will do a modified “interlibrary
loan” for a physical item request or (more likely) you will have electronic
access.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"At Madigan Army Medical Center, I could go down the
library, which was next to the graduate studies department, and review print
journals and check some types of books or journals out. At my workspace, I had
access through my computer to the library, a login, and the databases of
journals the library subscribed to. I could also request journal access for
journals in my field, as an employee benefit. It was up to the library’s
process to decide if that subscription was electronic-only or electronic and
print, etc.<br />"At Portsmouth Naval Medical Center, I could go to the
library that had books and journals and many other items for perusal or check
out. I could also work with the librarian to request items not available at
that location or any other research help I may need." -Megan Kingsley Gale, MSAOM</span></blockquote>

Francisco (UCSF), there are multiple library locations, as well as online
access to journals. The medical
librarians are very helpful in providing support for specific requests you may
have. As a clinician you may be able to
request full articles online through our access points with a username and
password. If you are new to the [UCSF healthcare system] library, there are several
classes to orient you to its resources and how to use them. These classes are
extremely helpful and specific times and locations are posted. Some classes are walk-ins, while others
require registration ahead of time. The
library has its own mailing list, so you may also sign-up for this to receive
its newsletter with updates of services and classes.” -Helen Ye, LAc, clinician at UCSF</span></blockquote>

Are you a new hospital employee with a background and degree in integrative health as an acupuncturist/east Asian medicine practitioner?</h2>
<br />
It's a big world and getting connected to other hospital-based practitioners in your field is essential to help you avoid repeating their mistakes, avoid re-inventing the wheel, and having that connection to the community to help you grow in your professional practice.<br />
<br />
