The healthcare issues keeping employers up at night

Our early experiences as kids have a lasting impact on our health and wellbeing. From facing adverse childhood experiences to various social needs, kids are especially vulnerable to their environment, as their brains are still developing.

Schools play a crucial role in helping to support kids. However, our education system today does not do enough to equip children to understand their mental wellbeing and emotions. So argues Jessica Gomez, Psy.D., a bilingual psychologist in Texas. Gomez is executive director of Momentous Institute, a nonprofit offering mental health services and operating an elementary school in Dallas. 

In this week's episode of "Podnosis," Gomez walks Fierce Healthcare's Anastassia Gliadkovskaya through the importance of integrating social-emotional learning into education and how doing so early on can have lifelong benefits.

Healthcare AI beyond the hype: A CMO's vision for frictionless care (Sponsored)

Interoperability has been a major focus in healthcare for the past decade. It is crucial for systems to be able to talk to one another. A patchwork of laws allow for health data sharing today through electronic health record systems and health information exchanges.

But some states believe there are situations where sharing sensitive health data may actually do more harm than good. Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Maryland has been thinking deeply such scenarios and to that end, passed a law to protect reproductive health data. To understand it, Anastassia Gliadkovskaya speaks to Nichole Sweeney, general counsel and chief privacy officer of the state’s designated HIE, CRISP Shared Services.
