dtap immunization for adults :: Article Creator Disease Known To Hospitalize Children Is Continuing To Spread In Michigan More than half of infants who contract pertussis, known as whooping cough, require hospitalization. Once their condition has deteriorated enough to require medical care, there isn't much physicians can do to treat them or speed up recovery. Instead, they offer supportive care, limit spread, and wait for the disease to run its course, said Dr. Francis Darr, a pediatrician in Marquette. "The key, again, is not so much treatment as it is prevention and avoiding infection in the first place," Darr said. Michigan is seeing its highest number of pertussis infections in a decade. As of Dec. 8, the state health department reported more than 1,500 cases, which is more than twice as much as the 596-case average from 2017 through 2019.

Tampa General Integrates Behavioral Health Into Primary Care

Tampa General has partnered with evolvedMD to bring behavioral health services directly into its primary care practices. 

Through the collaboration, licensed psychiatrists, social workers and counselors will be embedded within Tampa General Medical Group primary care locations, enabling patients to access mental health care alongside routine medical services.The integrated model launched in October at a primary care office in St. Petersburg, with plans to expand to seven additional practices by the end of 2025. 

When a primary care provider identifies patients in need of mental health support, they can refer them to the embedded behavioral health team. The team includes a care manager who works closely with a psychiatrist on treatment. A care navigator then coordinates follow-up appointments and manages treatment plans. 

"There are so many conversations about the need for mental health care, and we believe that it is imperative to use our resources as an academic health system to bring a solution directly to our patients," Karna Patel, MD, vice president of Tampa General Hospital and president of Tampa General Medical Group, said in a Dec. 19 news release. "By focusing our efforts in this setting, we are improving the overall care our patients receive, giving our providers the tools they need to address their patients' health holistically."

advanced primary care of the ozarks :: Article Creator Integrating Rx With Advanced Primary Care Will Unlock Better Health America's healthcare industry has been squeezed tightly over the past few years with post-pandemic fallout, a declining economy and high consumer expectations. Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals. I serve as chief human resources officer for a company that works with many large employers concerned about healthcare costs and the de...
