Susan Eggly, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Population Studies and Disparities Program, Department of Oncology, Wayne State University, will present: Racial Healthcare Disparities: How Can Patient-Provider Communication Help?
Racial healthcare disparities occur across many medical conditions. Although many factors contribute to these disparities, patient-provider communication is one critical factor. Negative racial attitudes, such as providers’ unconscious racial bias and patients’ mistrust in medical institutions can contribute to poorer communication; and this, in turn, can lead to poorer treatment and outcomes. This presentation will review the challenges and barriers to effective patient engagement in racially-discordant medical interactions and discuss findings from a study evaluation an intervention designed to overcome these attitudes and improve communication in racially-discordant patient-oncologist discussions about treatment, clinical trials and the financial costs of cancer care.
Paul E. Hilliard, M.D. Director of the Michigan Medicine Acute Care Service and Chair of the Pain Management Steering Committee and Alexandra Koumoutsopoulos, M.H.S.A., R.N., Pain Management Coordinator in the Office of Clinical Affairs will present: The Patient Education Requirements for the New Michigan Opioid Prescribing law.
As a nation we are in the midst of an opioid epidemic. Every day approximately 115 people die as a result of accidental opioid overdose. Many believe that the rampant prescribing of prescription opioids has led to an increase in heroin use. In response to this epidemic, the state of Michigan has signed several pieces of legislation into law that will have a significant impact across the clinical enterprise and will influence how we deliver care. Most of these laws go into effect in the spring and summer of 2018. Some of the laws specifically require patient education to be delivered to those receiving controlled substances and also requires their signature acknowledging that the information has been communicated. This presentation will discuss the efforts underway at Michigan Medicine to help operationalize these requirements and remain compliant with the law.
