SEPTEMBER EDITION, VOLUME 2018, NO. 9
YOUR PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE ON THE 2018 FMA ANNUAL MEETING By David Dixon, D.O., CMS President On August 3rd, our Capital Medical Society (CMS) delegation traveled to Orlando to attend the annual meeting for the Florida Medical Association (FMA). Our delegation consisted of Dr. Andrew Borom, Dr. Rohan Joseph, Dr. William Kepper, Dr. Alma Littles, Dr. Maribel Lockwood, Dr. John Mahoney, Dr. Winston Ortiz, Dr. Alfredo Paredes, Dr. Gary Winchester, and me. We were also privileged to have Dr. Andrea Friall, who attended as a delegate from the Florida OB/ GYN Society, Dr. Christie Alexander, who serves on the FMA Board, Dr. Brence Sell, who attended as a delegate from the Florida Society of Anesthesiologists, and Dr. John Katopodis, current FMA President, sitting with our delegation at most discussions. Our incredibly organized Executive Director, Pam Irwin, had the unenviable task of making sure we all stayed on schedule and attended the necessary meetings. This was a very experienced delegation, and we are all fortunate to have these local physicians sacrifice their time and energy to make sure our state medical association is aware of the concerns and issues facing our local physicians. This is my second year serving as a delegate from our Capital Medical Society. The annual meeting can be daunting; just navigating the meetings and reference committees can be overwhelming. Having experienced physicians representing our local medical society is a huge advantage. It was also important to have Dr. Borom, Dr. Lockwood and Dr. Ortiz join our delegation this year. As some of our veteran delegates will soon be relinquishing their seats, it is imperative to get new delegates engaged in this process. The 2017 President of the FMA, our own Dr. John Katopodis, was an active participant in our planning
meetings here in Tallahassee, as well as, at the Northwest Florida Caucus meetings in Orlando. I must admit that having one of our own members as the current president of the FMA was a huge advantage for our delegation.
Delegates and Members from Capital Medical Society: (l-r) David Dixon, D.O., Andrew Borom, M.D., John Katopodis, M.D., Rohan Joseph, M.D., Alfredo Paredes, M.D., Pam Irwin, Christie Alexander, M.D., Maribel Lockwood, M.D., Winston Ortiz, M.D., Alma Littles, M.D., William Kepper, M.D., and Gary Winchester, M.D. (Not pictured: John Mahoney, M.D.)
Dr. Katopodis’ knowledge of current events and his input on what was happening at the Board level was a tremendous perk for us this year. He was able to assist us in not getting “bogged down” with issues that were not going to be considered by our current legislature, and instead focus on resolutions where progress could be made. Personally, I found myself walking around with “my chest poked out,” feeling confident and proud having the FMA president as a member of our medical society. On Saturday morning, in front of the entire House of Delegates, he reviewed his term as president, focusing on the challenges that face today’s physicians, and the steps he and his administration took to address these challenges. Dr. Katopodis has represented our medical society with exceptional class CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

2018 FMA ANNUAL MEETING
CONTINUED FROM COVER
and professionalism, and we should all be grateful for his sacrifices over the past year. In preparation for the annual meeting, our CMS delegates met prior to the meeting to review the resolutions to be voted on by the House of Delegates. As a group, we developed a stance on each resolution, always trying to represent the desires of our local physician community. Then, at the annual meeting, our delegation met with delegates from the other two medical societies in the Panhandle, the Emerald Coast Medical Association and the Escambia County Medical Society. Together, we reviewed the resolutions to be considered by the House, and tried to adopt a consensus opinion on each. There was mostly agreement, but some dissention. Our goal was to always represent our physicians’ best interest. Each year at the annual meeting, certain issues dominate the discussions. This year, as each of you can imagine, there was considerable discussion regarding the new laws governing prescription of controlled medications. In attempt to decrease the abuse of opioid pain medications, HB21 has created significant frustration and discontent. There were numerous resolutions proposed by FMA members across the state trying to ease the regulatory burdens of this bill. It was obvious from our early preparatory meetings with Dr. Katopodis, the FMA realized the urgency in the voices of its members in demanding that the bill be revisited by our legislature, and that certain aspects be amended. In summary, these resolutions were “bundled” and sent to the FMA Board of Governors to present a unified voice to our legislature regarding the negative impact of HB21 on our practices. Resolutions pertaining to public health issues and the scope of practice of other healthcare providers were also intensely discussed. The discussions on public health issues are always interesting to me, as there is always an underlying debate about the role of the FMA in being involved in such issues. For example, resolutions regarding monitoring lead levels in school drinking water, needle exchange programs, and gun control legislation were extracted and discussed at the meeting on Sunday morning. The caucus from Broward County presented a passionate appeal to the House asking for the support from FMA on adopting anti-gun legislation. Not that these are not important issues for our patients, but as a whole, these resolutions were not supported by the House, as they seemed to be outside the FMA’s mission of “helping physicians practice medicine.” Resolutions limiting pharmacists’ ability to prescribe medications and limiting the prescribing abilities of mid-level providers were overwhelming supported.
On Sunday morning, we heard the remarks of this year’s FMA President, Dr. Corey Howard. As did Dr. Katopodis, he reviewed the challenges facing physicians in today’s healthcare environment. The regulatory burdens, the changes in the E&M requirements, the “technology revolution,” and the new opioid legislation are just examples of the things that have made practicing medicine more difficult. The effect of these burdens on the mental health and burn-out rates of physicians were discussed, including the high depression and suicide rates. Dr. Howard emphasized the importance of us coming together as a family. He pleaded with the delegates to stress the importance of recruiting other physicians to join the FMA in its fight to help lessen these burdens and keep the practice of medicine less about filling out forms and checking boxes, and more about providing quality care to our patients. In summary, I believe no ONE medical organization will share ALL of your ideas and concerns. Even within your local medical society, or your specialty society, there will be dissention at times. However, after attending this year’s annual meeting, I feel reassured that the Florida Medical Association is aware of the concerns of the members of the Capital Medical Society, and in the upcoming year, will be working diligently to lessen the burdens of practicing medicine in today’s healthcare environment. Here in Tallahassee, our medical society must strive to stay engaged with the FMA, and we must continue to appreciate the importance of having local physicians represent our membership at this very important meeting.

VIEWPOINT
VIETNAM REDUX By Terence Reisman, M.D. I wrote the story of my military experience as an Army medical officer at Ft. Benning, Georgia in a previous Cap Scan article published last fall. In it I recalled my service from 1971 to 1973 during the waning days of the Vietnam War. I was fortunate in not being involved in actual combat and regarded war as an experience that I was glad to have missed. Last year I received a brochure from Duke University Alumni Travels entitled “Pearls of Southeast Asia, Hong Kong to Saigon.” My wife and I signed up for the cruise which started in Hong Kong and then made a ten-day excursion along the Vietnamese coast. We were on board the L’Austral, a French ship of the Ponant Line, which has only one hundred and ten staterooms and approximately two hundred and fifty passengers. Most of the travelers were college alumni, and we were accompanied by professors who lectured on the history and culture of Vietnam. A major topic was the Vietnam War, and we were lucky to have watched Ken Burns’ PBS series, “The Vietnam War” prior to departure. Jim Laurie, an ABC News correspondent, was a lecturer on board. He was the only American correspondent to witness firsthand the fall of Saigon to the North Vietnamese troops on April 30, 1975. He later opened the first American TV bureau in Beijing, China in 1981.
We visited Hanoi, the former North Vietnamese capital, where we saw the tomb of Ho Chi Minh, the communist leader who led the decades-long struggle to unify Vietnam. We also saw the quaint city of Hoi An, where we bought embroidered paintings. The old imperial capital Hue, where the Tet offensive of 1968 started, is now a sleepy gorgeous city. Our final destination was Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, where we had several shore excursions to the War Remnants Museum and the Cu Chi Tunnels dug by the Viet Cong for their part in “The American War.” While we tend to think of Vietnam in terms of its history in the twentieth century, it was a country occupied by foreigners for a thousand years. The Vietnamese people were ruled by the Chinese, then the French in the nineteenth century, and the Japanese during WWII. After the French left in 1954, the Americans tried to stop the “Communist takeover,” but eventually withdrew in 1975. Today the average Vietnamese citizen wants only to raise their families in peace and good health. They still refer to “The American War,” but they harbor no animosity towards Americans, and I felt no hostility while I was there. Although my military service was required because of this conflict, I feel that I have learned much about the history and culture of the Vietnamese people by our recent trip, and I heartily recommend a visit to those who wish to better understand the historic context of America in Southeast Asia.

DISTRACTING DEVICES IN HEALTHCARE: MALPRACTICE IMPLICATIONS By Shelley Rizzo, MSN, CPHRM, Patient Safety Risk Manager II, The Doctors Company Digital distraction in healthcare is emerging as a great threat to patient safety and physician well-being.1 This phenomenon involves the habitual use of personal electronic devices by healthcare providers for nonclinical purposes during appointments and procedures.2 Some call it “distracted doctoring.” But the threat might more aptly be called “distracted practice,” as it impacts all healthcare workers and staff. Personal electronic devices can create a digital distraction so engaging that it consumes awareness, potentially preventing healthcare providers from focusing on the primary task at hand—caring for and interacting with patients. And the consequences can be devastating. Distraction can be both a symptom of and a contributor to healthcare provider stress and burnout. As a symptom of burnout, digital distraction is a way to escape a stressful environment. As a contributor to burnout, digital distraction impedes human interaction because of the sheer volume of data demanding our attention.
the standard of care and is, therefore, often defensible. But where it can be shown that the distraction was caused by non-patient matters, the plaintiff ’s attorney will certainly use that against the defendant. In these situations, the defendant’s medical care may not even enter the equation, because during eDiscovery the metadata (i.e., cell phone records, scouring findings from hard drives) serves as the “expert witness.” Even if the defendant’s clinical care was within the standard, the fact that there are cell phone records indicating that the healthcare provider was surfing the Internet or checking personal e-mail may imply distraction and could potentially supersede all other evidence. Two new CME courses from The Doctors Company, How Healthcare Leaders Can Reduce Risks of Distracted Practice in Their Organization and The Risks of Distracted Practice in the Perioperative Area, address addiction to personal electronic devices and provide strategies that individuals and organizations can use to minimize the patient safety risks associated with distractions from these devices. Find these courses and explore our extensive catalog of complimentary CME and CE activities at http://www. thedoctors.com/patient-safety/education-and-cme/ ondemand/. 1. Distracted Doctoring: Returning to Patient-Centered Care in the Digital Age https://www.amazon.com/Distracted-DoctoringReturning-Patient-Centered-Digital/dp/331948706X
For most healthcare providers, distractions and interruptions are considered part of the job; it is the nature of their work. If we consider healthcare distraction on a continuum, on one end are distractions related to clinical care (e.g., answering team member questions or responding to surgical equipment alarms). On the other end of the continuum are distractions unrelated to clinical care (e.g., making personal phone calls, sending personal text messages, checking social media sites, playing games, or searching airline flights). From a litigation perspective, the distinction between distractions related to clinical care and those unrelated to clinical care is important. In a medical malpractice claim where there is an allegation that an adverse event was caused by distracted practice, a distraction caused by a clinical-care-related activity may be found to be within

Capital Medical Society Foundation’s community of donors strategically help fulfill its mission “to support the charitable efforts of physicians and others, increase access to healthcare, promote education and serve the community’s health needs through innovative projects that are exemplary, affordable and dignified.” ➢ Access to healthcare is increased through gifts to We Care Network and the We Care Network Endowment Fund. More than $98 million in donated specialty medical and dental care has been provided to low-income, uninsured patients since the program was created in 1992. In fiscal year 2017-18, which ended June 30, 2018, more than $8 million in health care was donated. Gifts support the operational expenses of the program including salaries and benefits of the case management team who coordinate the donated care. ➢ To provide incentives to keep medical students trained at FSU College of Medicine in the Big Bend after completion of their residencies and help meet the growing demand for physicians in Florida, gifts to the Scholarship Fund provide scholarships to FSU College of Medicine students who have expressed an interest in returning to the Big Bend to practice after completion of their residencies. $47,000 will be awarded in 2018. ➢ Gifts to Capital Medical Society Foundation help provide operational resources for Capital Medical Society Foundation. In addition, modest grants are awarded to area non-profits whose programs improve access to health care for the underserved. In 2018, CMSF awarded a total of $10,000 in grants to Elder Care for their In-Home Services Program, Alzheimer’s Project for caregiver support resources, and Lighthouse of the Big Bend to provide clients who have vision loss with the aids needed to manage their health and medical care independently.
