Dr. Carmona on his life and his passion for public health
Dr. Carmona on his life and his passion for public health
Richard Carmona, M.D., MPH, Facs, 17th Surgeon General of the United States
2012 GSWS Keynote Speaker: Dr. Richard Carmona
Richard Carmona - America's Obesity Epidemic
Based on Richard’s recently released book, 30 Days to a Better Brain, this speech contains all aspects of brain health and how you can preserve cognitive function as we live longer.
As a combat decorated and disabled veteran complemented by his experience at a local, state and national level, Richard has a unique vantage point and perspective on these contemporary issues.
As a Special Operations soldier and police officer, widely published in the area of “all hazards” preparedness, Richard is recognized as an expert in both the tactics for, and provision of, medical care during catastrophic incidents.
The Affordable Care Act is an admirable attempt at providing basic care for all. But it is important to separate the good elements from the problematic. It is time to stop politicizing ACA (and healthcare in general) and deliver a product to our citizens that, although not perfect, is an improvement to the system and adds value to their lives. Congress should be held accountable for breaching their fiduciary responsibility and placing the public at risk. This speech from former Surgeon General Richard Carmona poses a reasonable path forward for the Affordable Care Act.
It has become clear that mental health services are inadequate for our nation. One in five people who need mental health care cannot get it—and mental illness contributes significantly to patient non-compliance and increased co-morbidity and mortality from other illnesses. Engaging in two wars over 11 years has added significantly to our military's burden of mental illness; on average, one uniformed service member commits suicide daily—more deaths than in combat.
DOD and VA facilities do not have the capacity to provide timely, needed mental healthcare to our uniformed service personnel and veterans. In addition to suicide rates, divorce rates, domestic violence, depression, and adjustment disorders, unemployment and PTSD have significantly increased for our combat troops and veterans. Currently evolving is a better scientific understanding of some of the causes of mental health and its treatment. Dr. Carmona paints a picture of the future for the provision of mental illness prevention and care.
Due to over 100 thousand preventable hospital deaths annually and a great deal of national variability in both cost and patient outcomes, quality measures and improved safety endeavors will continue to evolve and become essential drivers of future healthcare systems. Electronic medical records will be necessary to optimize patient quality and safety. "Check lists" will grow in use and popularity. Improved patient health literacy will be essential to improve quality and safety. If the private sector does not voluntarily continue to provide more essential data, the government will impose uniform reporting standards. In this keynote, Dr. Richard Carmona discusses the future need for healthcare to continue to address patient quality and safety.
