Competencies and Education Strategies to Prepare for Practice in Integrated/Inpatient Environments The focus of ACCAHC's Education Working Group and Clinical Care Working Group on competencies and skills for practice in integrated care environments led to this invite to Lori Knutson, RN, BSN, HN-BC, the director of the nation's most significant inpatient-outpatient integrative initiative. Knutson directs the Penny George Institute, a part of the Allina Hospital system through which she has overseen delivery of over 60,000 integrative care inpatient visits since 2004 through a staff of two dozen practitioners. Knutson has gained expertise in the skills and special training of integrative practitioners for optimal performance in inpatient environments. Included is a discussion of why some types of practitioners are presently included and others not in the Allina model. Knutson fields questions from roughly a dozen ACCAHC leaders among 25 on the call. optimized MP3 version, 14 megabytes iTunes AAC version, 20 megabytes
Positioning ACCAHC Disciplines in Emerging Healthcare Workforce and Primary Care Environments Under the 2010 Congressional healthcare overhaul legislation, licensed complementary and alternative healthcare practitioners are included as professions deserving of inclusion in the nation's healthcare planning efforts. For over two decades, Richard A. "Buz" Cooper, MD, DSc, a national leader on issues related to the supply of physicians and nonphysician clinicians, has urged that members of ACCAHC disciplines be included in workforce and "first contact" care planning. He spoke on the topic at the 2009 IOM Summit. Cooper is Professor of Medicine and Senior Fellow, Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, University of Pennsylvania; past Vice President and Dean, Medical College of Wisconsin. He is a member of the ACCAHC Council of Advisers. Cooper fields questions from numerous ACCAHC leaders on the call.
