New independent review of assessment systems for older persons in community and residential care concludes that: "After a systematic search and an evaluation exercise, we conclude that the interRAI HC and interRAI LTCF are the best candidate CGA systems for potential use in Australian community and RAC, respectively. We propose this study will be valuable for aged care providers and policy makers considering assessment systems and will simplify the process of selecting an assessment system that will standardise comprehensive geriatric assessment and support the multiple data requirements for the sector." https://lnkd.in/gC9cB6Ws

Bring your son to work day! What a wonderful experience for my 14 year old son. Minnesota Medical Association’s Physicians’ Day at the Capitol. The MMA’s top legislative priority is to fix prior authorization. This legislation prohibits prior authorization for services that are too important to delay. Specifically, the language prohibits prior authorization for: 🔹 Medications to treat a substance use disorder 🔹 Outpatient mental health treatment 🔹 Treatments to fight cancer consistent with national cancer-care guidelines 🔹 Generic drugs deemed therapeutically equivalent by the FDA 🔹 Preventive services recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force 🔹 Pediatric hospice services and neonatal abstinence programs 🔹 Treatments covered through value-based arrangements #healthcareforall #actionalert #healthcarereform #insurancereform

Greetings, all! I wanted to let you all know that I am now officially taking patients (ages 11+)** at Red Cedar Counseling for gender affirming hormone therapy (including puberty blockers), mental health medication management (including ADHD, anxiety, depression, c/PTSD, bipolar disorder, etc.), PrEP/doxyPEP, and sexual/reproductive health care including menstrual suppression, contraception, erectile dysfunction, and more. My approach is trans/queer affirming, trauma informed, sex- (and sex-worker!) positive, body/size affirming (HAES), kink affirming, patient-centered, and built on harm reduction. My passion is to serve the LGBTQIA2S* and other sexual minority communities, inclusive of all their sexual and gender diversities, and this is what I have built my practice upon. I can provide care and am able to provide puberty blockers (GnRH agonists) for appropriately aged (Tanner II) gender diverse children and adolescents where appropriate. I also offer PrEP, PEP, doxyPEP, contraception, ED medications, and other services to support & uplift sexual health. I look forward to working with all to help them achieve their optimum mental health & gender embodiment goals. You do not need to be seeing a therapist at Red Cedar to see me. I have in person appointments in Okemos (near Lansing), Michigan, and telehealth available to anyone in the state of Michigan (including those from IN or OH who can drive over the Michigan border for a telehealth session)! We accept all of the Medicaids and Medicare as well as most commercial insurers (BCN, BCBS, McLaren, Cigna, Priority, Aetna, UHC, Cigna, PHP/SPHN, Tricare, ....). If you want to make an appointment, the easiest way is to click on this link and fill out the "Contact Us to Get Started" to establish care...
