2014 Could It Be That Simple – Or That Hard?

"Alzheimer’s is the dread condition of health care policymakers, payers, and all of us who are health care consumers."

"..customized individual interventions designed to address multiple key pathogenetic mechanisms, for each of the ten."

"The results? Nine of the 10 participants showed “subjective” improved memory, and six participants were able to return to work or continue working with improved performance. Returning to work was identified as a more critical measure to the participants than biomarker effects or test performance.

My reaction – can it really be this simple? The key to reducing cognitive decline is a lifestyle overhaul? Then I caught myself – what looks very simple is actually very hard to accomplish"

The healthcare industry has asserted that an overwhelming proportion of what yields health is related to factors under the control of the individual (choice - 50% and environment 20%.) Is it the same for learning? How simple - all we need to do to improve - is make better choices and decide to improve our environment. Are these two items teachable or assurable?

2015 California Enacts Legislation To Limit Psychotropic Medications For...

"...legislation to increase state oversight and to limit the amount of psychotropic medications prescribed to children in foster care. ....establish a methodology to identify group homes that have disproportionately high levels of psychotropic drug medication. "

How do we avoid implementing quick fixes that make life easier for us - while potentially having detrimental impact to the learners we work with? What might be some examples of this?

  1. Scheduling
  2. Duration
  3. Location
  4. Format
  5. Cost
  6. Class size

2016 Chamberlain At Gettysburg: Lessons In Decisive Leadership

"Health and human service executives must face any number of big challenges throughout the course of their career. It’s safe to say, however, that few will ever find themselves in a literal life-and-death situation, with bullets whistling all around and a determined enemy army charging at them."

  1. "Never Lose Sight Of The Strategy
  2. Make The Most Of The Resources You Have
  3. Be Quick Or Be Dead"

Item 1 is easy to claim and nearly impossible to admit otherwise.

Item 2 is the proof of item 1. Do we adjust our strategy based on resources? Is this an almost acceptable "excuse?"

While no may die - might the strategy fail?

2017 Health Insurance Coverage Vs. Access To Care—The Gap Between Them

"...having health insurance doesn’t insure access to care. The Institute of Medicine defined access to care as “the timely use of personal health services to achieve the best health outcomes”

Do we insure that our employees have professional and career development or do we assure it? How could we assure it?

2018 What Will Mental Health Treatment Look Like In The Years Ahead?

"will mental health treatment look like from the consumer perspective in the years ahead? ....I always find it a bit daunting to make predictions. But as a subscriber to the John Naisbitt philosophy of trend analysis—”The most reliable way to forecast the future is to understand the present”—I think the present does provide some clues to what we are likely to see ahead."

  • An individual consumer’s access to treatment and the treatment system will be determined by the health care coverage, their health plan choice, and their personal income.
  • Mental health treatment will happen within integrated systems of care.
  • Consumers will have more limited choices of treatment—of provider organizations, professionals, and treatment models.
  • Tech-enabled treatment will be the rule, rather than the exception.

Does this read like the current situation and trends with K-12 education?

How about higher education?

What about the workplace?

Is this what we want? What we need to settle for? A problem?

What do we want the future of learning to be? What do the learners want? Are we on the same page? Who will determine this- and when?

What might be the impact if learner outcomes by source were published are readily available to learners?

2023 Incentive Comp As A Workforce Strategy

Would you be willing to define your own compensation plan?

If so - what would it be? Would your performance matter? How would it be measured? By whom? When?

If performance did not matter - what do you prefer to matter?

How would you like those who provide services or products to you be compensated?

Would your opinion of their performance matter? How would it be measured? By whom? When?

How would you respond of the provider told you that your opinion did not matter?
