Health Assurance in 2030: From COVID-19 to Consumerism (ETHICS)
Stephen Klasko, MD

We are witnessing healthcare’s “Amazon moment.”  If you are a provider and think you’re going back to a business model solely based on hospital revenue and not relevant to people who want care at home, you will be out of business.  If you are an insurer and think you can just be the middle man between the hospital and the patient, you’ll be irrelevant.  If hospitals believe that innovation can just be this cute little thing that they do in the background, but the real business is getting “heads in beds” they will never recover from the losses of the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: (1) compare and contrast new creative partnerships between community partners, health systems and payors as we move from “sick care” to “health assurance;” (2) discuss how the combination of increased data gathering and artificial intelligence will make society more resilient to disease spread; (3) review the impact of how providers handle data on patient trust in the future; (4) examine how technology can be strategically applied to address health disparities; (5) develop empathy, communication and self-awareness skills for the digital age; and (6) review how population health, predictive analytics and social determinants are moving from philosophy to the mainstream of clinical care, payment models and medical education.
Participants in this activity may claim up to 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and 1.0 ETHICS credit.

An Expanded Focus for Occupational Safety and Health
George Delclos, MD, PhD
Presented by the Texas College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine
The changing nature of work and employment arrangements, as well as workforce demographics and workplace types, is having a significant impact on worker well-being and business productivity. A more systems-thinking approach is needed to better integrate traditional work factors and nonwork factors, not just within one job but across the working life continuum as well. As part of this session, we will present an overview of this expanded focus on occupational health, how it is being addressed, and what gaps and needs still exist. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: (1) describe how individual level factors are incorporated into the expanded focus for OSH paradigm shift; (2) describe how the working life continuum is incorporated into the expanded focus for OSH paradigm shift; and (3) discuss the relationship between upcoming changes in the nature of work (or employment) and its impact on worker health, that is amenable to the development of a workplace intervention and a broader approach to the professional practice of occupational health.

Addressing Fertility Concerns in Patients With Cancer
Terri L. Woodard, MD
Presented by the TMA Committee on Cancer
Infertility is a significant cause of emotional distress for many cancer survivors, and it can last for years after a person has been cured. Many cancer patients are unaware of the risk of infertility or their options for fertility preservation (FP) that can help improve chances of having a biological child after cancer. The goal of this presentation is to raise awareness about cancer-related infertility, and to provide practical information about how physicians can link patients with oncofertility counseling and treatment. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: (1) explain the importance of addressing fertility concerns of people at risk for cancer-related infertility and review national guidelines on fertility preservation; (2) describe options for fertility preservation and identify key clinical decision-making points and effective means of communication with patients; and (3) demonstrate awareness of medical ethics and/or professional responsibility in addressing fertility issues with patients undergoing cancer treatment.

Sticky Wellness Trends: Cannabidiol and Hemp (ETHICS)
Debra Osterman, MD
Presented by the TMA Committee on Physician Health and Wellness
Why spend precious time learning about cannabidiol (CBD) when physicians must worry about medical emergencies such as cardiac arrests, sepsis, pulmonary embolisms, opioid overdoses, alcohol withdrawal, and the ubiquitous coronavirus? With the rise in the availability of CBD products, the medical community must be prepared to advise patients about their use, assess related ethical dilemmas, and prevent discrepancies at the intersection of health and public policy. Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to: (1) define cannabidiol, hemp, and their derivatives; (2) list the consumable and non-consumable items made with cannabidiol (CBD); and distinguish them from other cannabis products; (3) characterize the effects  of consumable CBD goods has on patient care; (4) describe the most common conditions that are improved with pharmaceutical grade cannabidiol and the most common side effects of cannabidiol use; (5) outline the legal status and quality of hemp and CBD; (6) recognize ethical dilemmas associated with cannabidiol use to promote community safety; (7) assess cannabidiol education in medical training and the preparedness of physicians-in-training; and (8) explain when it would be ethically appropriate to recommend patient use of pharmaceutical grade cannabidiol products.

Value Based Care Success and Thriving in Practice
Kim Yu, MD
With growing value-based care contracts, more physicians are taking the leap into the world of value-based care, but not all are succeeding. The complexities of managing changing benchmarks, different payer relationships, and decreasing fee-for-service revenue is straining primary care physicians who have seen anywhere from a 10% to 30% decrease in revenue because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this practical session, physicians will learn the tools they need to succeed and thrive this year. Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to (1) consider the basics of value-based care, what metrics matter, and how to thrive in independent primary care; (2) evaluate their practice and workflows, and share ideas to improve outcomes for patients; (3) identify barriers and blockers that hinder advancing in value-based care; and (4) develop a concrete action plan to adopt in their practice.

Educator as Parent (ETHICS)

Preston H. Blomquist, MD
Presented by the Texas Ophthalmological Association
Teaching well is extremely important and extremely difficult. We teachers have sufficient love and commitment, but few have been taught how to teach. This can be disastrous in our current environment where residents openly reject traditional teaching methods. We want both our children and our residents to develop to their full potential. We want them to be more successful, more skilled, more compassionate, and more innovative than the previous generation.
