Mental Health Public Policy Discussed in Latest Heads up Dartmouth Health Webinar

Article Excerpt: This segment features Will Torrey, MD, Chair, Department of Psychiatry, Dartmouth Health, Holly A. Stevens, Esq., Director of Public Policy, National Alliance on Mental Health, New Hampshire chapter (NAMI NH), and Matthew Houde, JD, Vice President of Government Relations, Dartmouth Health. Together, they discuss the current state of the mental health system in New Hampshire and the country, and areas of federal and state public policy that can be improved. Torrey said the biggest difficulty facing residents and providers is timely access to high-quality care. “The demand for services, the need for services, just far outstrips the state’s capacity to offer those needed services. If you develop cancer, heart disease or an orthopedic injury, you can get into outpatient or inpatient treatment in a timely manner. But that’s just not true for psychiatric illnesses,” Torrey said

Geisel Launches New Center for Implementation Science

Article Excerpt: Despite the many advances made in academic medicine in recent decades, successfully applying what is learned in research to patient care remains a major challenge. For example, it takes, on average, 17 years for research to reach clinical practice. And most evidence-based guidelines are adopted only about 25 percent of the time. With the establishment of the new Dartmouth Center for Implementation Science (DCIS) at the Geisel School of Medicine, community partners across the Dartmouth enterprise will work to help close those gaps. “Implementation science is an emerging area of multidisciplinary research that focuses on moving scientific evidence into routine practice,” explains Jeremiah Brown, PhD, a professor of epidemiology at Geisel and founding director of DCIS. In addition to Brown, the DCIS leadership team includes co-directors Sarah Lord, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and biomedical data science, Kelly Aschbrenner, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and principal scientist at Dartmouth Health, and program manager Sherry Owens, PhD. Genevieve Shaefer ’26, the first Women In Science Project (WISP) intern for DCIS, will be working with the team on campus engagement and training.

The Future of Remote Medicine: The AMA Presents a Framework for Measuring Telehealth Quality

Article Excerpt: Under the simultaneous pressures of a pandemic-driven explosion in the use of telehealth, a growing emphasis on value-based care, and the current state of medical technology, the healthcare industry is undergoing what appear to be fundamental changes as a consequence of the high and irreversible growth of telehealth… In December 2022, the American Medical Association (AMA), in partnership with Manatt Health, released the “Return on Health” report that develops a framework to more precisely and holistically measure the value of telehealth through detailed case studies. This initiative also focuses on the challenges and opportunities for virtual care.(1) The adoption of the latest technology is essential to the expansion of telehealth beyond routine patient care.

Book Chapter Sneak Peak: Introduction And Aims of Digital Therapeutics for Mental Health and Addiction

Article Excerpt: In this first chapter, the book’s editors Jacobson, Kowatsch and Marsch “introduce a comprehensive overview of the field of digital therapeutics and research on their efficacy, effectiveness, scalability, and cost-effectiveness (pp. 1).” The authors are looking to introduce the topic of digital therapeutics to a broad audience and designed this book for people without a background in mental health or substance use. The authors’ vision includes conveying how advancements in technology can be leveraged to increase the effectiveness of interventions. Topics relating to structural considerations include the design of interventions, cultural adaptations, regulation, and data privacy.

Digital Therapeutics Summit Held at Dartmouth

Article Excerpt: Nearly 175 people representing the digital health and pharmaceutical industries, health care systems, clinicians, scientists, investors, Dartmouth students and faculty, and government officials representing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gathered on Dartmouth’s campus November 2 for daylong discussions centered on digital therapeutics. Hosted by Geisel School of Medicine’s Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH) and Dartmouth’s Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship, the program provided an overview of the science and clinical practice of digital therapeutics, the current and anticipated paths to their global deployment, and a vision for the future. This is the first time these groups have come together in conversations hosted by an academic institution about the digital health landscape and may well be viewed as a seminal moment in the rapidly developing field.

Register for Dartmouth Accelerator for Digital Health

Article Excerpt: DIADH, a partnership between the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health and the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship will help translate digital therapeutics and digital health innovations developed at Dartmouth into the marketplace. Registration to participate in DIADH is now open at https://www.c4tbh.org/accelerator/register. Dartmouth students, staff and faculty working to bring novel digital therapeutics and digital health tools to market will soon have a new resource available to them: the Dartmouth Innovation Accelerator for Digital Health (DIADH). The Accelerator was announced last week at “Clinically Validated Digital Therapeutics: Paths to Deployment,” an international summit hosted in Hanover by the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH), an NIH-recognized National Center of Excellence within the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, and the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship at Dartmouth. The Summit brought together players from across the healthcare industry — including providers, payers, researchers, developers, regulators, and investors — for the first time to discuss the future of digital therapeutics and digital health. This is an area of healthcare that encompasses any software used to prevent, treat, or manage a medical disorder or disease. In addition, several Dartmouth faculty members who are affiliated with CTBH described the exciting work that is being at Dartmouth to bring world-class science to this important new area of healthcare. “There was a focus on problem solving and removing barriers in the industry so that we can accelerate the impact of digital health tools on people’s lives,” says Lisa A. Marsch, Ph.D., Director of CTBH.

Black Therapists Are Struggling to Be Seen On TikTok. They’re Forming Their Own Communities Instead

Article Excerpt: From a well-lighted room, the plants blurred in the background, their face framed by closed captioning, Shahem Mclaurin speaks directly into the camera. The lesson: “Ten ways to start healing.” But this is not a classroom, nor is it a therapist’s office. This is TikTok. “We all have our own things to carry, and those burdens shouldn’t be carried with us for the rest of our lives,” says Mclaurin, a licensed social worker. Through videos — some on topics like grief, “race/race-ism,” trauma and healing, others raw reactions or trending sounds, like this call to action to amplify people of color on TikTok — Mclaurin advocates for better representation in the mental health field. Mclaurin speaks to viewers who haven’t found caregivers they connect with because of stigmas surrounding therapy and acknowledges that few practitioners look like them.
