What Can Industry Do • New innovative technologies to address the ways in which opioids can be manipulated and/or tampered are being developed. CDC: Understanding Epidemic To help prevent prescription drug overdose, states can advance the promising strategies below to ensure the health and wellbeing of their residents. • Consider ways to increase use of prescription drug monitoring programs • Consider policy options relating to pain clinics to reduce prescribing practices that are risky to patients. • Evaluate state data and programs and consider ways to assess Medicaid, workers' compensation programs, and state-run health plans to detect and address inappropriate prescribing of painkillers. • Identify opportunities to increase access to substance abuse treatment and consider expanding first responder access to naloxone. • Implement and promote evidence-based opioid prescribing. • Work with health care providers and other prescribers to ensure appropriate opioid prescribing. • Evaluate the impact of state opioid prescribing standards and update them as needed. Common Tampering Methods and Routes of Abuse Tampering Methods Routes of Administration (nonmedical use) Katz N et al. Tampering with prescription opioids: nature and extent of the problem, health consequences, and solutions. Am J Drug Alcohol Abuse. 2011; 37:205-217. Opioid Abuse-Deterrent Properties Formulation Physical/Chemical Barriers Approved Opioid Analgesics with ADP* Technology • • Physical Barriers: can prevent chewing, crushing, cutting, grating, or grinding. Chemical Barriers: can resist extraction of the opioid using common solvents like water, alcohol, or other organic solvents. Physical and Chemical Barriers: can change the physical form of an oral drug rendering it less amenable to abuse. • Agonist/Antagonist Combinations • • Antagonist added to interfere with, reduce, or defeat the euphoria associated with abuse. Antagonist may be sequestered and released only upon manipulation of the product. • E.g. Antagonist is not clinically active when the product is swallowed but becomes active if the product is crushed and injected or snorted. Aversion • Substances can be combined to produce an unpleasant effect if the dosage form is manipulated prior to ingestion or a higher dosage than directed used. Delivery System (including depot injectable formulations and implants) • Certain drug release designs or the method of drug delivery can offer resistance to abuse. • E.g., sustained-release depot injectable formulation that is administered intramuscularly or a subcutaneous implant can be more difficult to manipulate. Prodrug • Lacks opioid activity until transformed in the gastrointestinal tract can be unattractive for intravenous injection or intranasal routes of abuse. Combination • Two or more of the above methods can be combined to deter abuse. FDA Draft Guidance for Industry Abuse-Deterrent Opioids — Evaluation and Labeling. January 2013.

Every interaction, every touchpoint, is an opportunity to create a meaningful moment, an emotional, enduring connection— a relationship. In every interaction, ask these questions: Who in this room is in your Customer Service department? Am I enhancing the customer experience in a meaningful way? Am I creating loyalty by satisfying the customer? Am I contributing to the financial health of our organization? Customer Service begins with every person in this room. Why is customer service generally terrible? Welcome to the Customer Service Department! Because organizations are structured to make life easier for the organization —not for the customer. “We need to think differently about how to serve the customer. The customer remains the best filter we have in every decision we make as a business.” Because most organizations focus on practices, not on values. − Blake Nordstrom or standards Values: principles of behavior; one’s judgment of what is important in life. Every successful and enduring organization adheres to a set of values that are non-negotiable. “Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.” “Culture trumps strategy. You need strategy and execution, but if you’re not aligned with shared values, that is not sustainable.” − Howard Schultz, Chairman & CEO, Starbucks − Mahatma Gandhi The Nordstrom Way: Stay true to your culture. Attract people who share your cultural values. Teach them how you conduct your business. “People always ask me, how do you teach core values? The answer is, you don’t. The goal is not to convince people to share your core values. The goal is to attract people who already share your core values.” − James Collins, Author of Built to Last & Good to Great The VALUES Model Respect Trust Communication + Collaboration Awareness Innovation + Adaptation Competition + Compensation Guided by these values every organization—including yours— can deliver faster, smarter, and more personalized service. Selfless Service Loyalty Fun Respect “All I’m askin’ is for a little respect…” − Aretha Franklin Trust “Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.” − Stephen Covey Author, The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People “A good store manager must be able to trust others—because it’s impossible to micromanage one of our stores; there are too many moving parts.” − Bruce Nordstrom Communication + Collaboration “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” “I’ve never learned anything while I was talking.” − George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright & Co-founder of the London School of Economics (1905-1998) − Larry King talk show host Collaboration “After mutual respect and understanding are achieved, it is possible to establish real, sincere relationships, which are the foundation of a solid longterm collaboration.” − Ron Garan, astronaut Awareness “It’s a matter of paying attention, being awake in the moment, and not expecting a payoff.” − Charles de Lint, author “Russell Wilson has an uncanny sense of awareness of what’s around him. I don’t know how you coach it; it’s just an awareness that all great players have. He just has it at a higher level.” − Bill Belichik, Patriots coach “Personal ownership by all of our people has been key to our success, and our company’s ability to persevere even through the toughest of times.” − Blake Nordstrom Innovation + Adaptation “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” − Steve Jobs Change is Constant Over the next 5 years, Nordstrom will invest $1.2 billion in capital on technology—particularly on its mobile platform.

I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.” “I’ve been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it. −Walt Disney (1901-1966) Competition “Our employees must have a competitive spirit, because we start comparing them the day they walk in the door. That’s one of the best ways we know how to improve. If we have competitive people, we can accomplish something.” −Walt Disney (1901-1966) − James Nordstrom Selfless Service “You’re gonna have to serve somebody…” − Bob Dylan How are you giving service to your clients, stakeholders, and your community— virtual and literal? Loyalty “Some companies demand loyalty from personnel, but we felt that loyalty should first come from us to them. Loyalty is something earned, not expected.” − Elmer Nordstrom Nordstrom has more than 62,000 employees. For 20 years in a row, it has been selected as one of “The Best Places to Work in America”. 38% of Nordstrom’s $13 billion in sales comes from customers who belong to the company’s loyalty program.

The $80 million in funding was for ACGME Programs only (The American Osteopathic Association was not included). Florida had 53 accredited GME Institutions that administered 407 Residency Programs; 16 of those institutions were solely AOA accredited and 7 were dually accredited Florida’s Larkin Community Hospital is the largest teaching hospital for Osteopathic Physicians in the United States (offering training in 30 different specialties and fellowships) Original language of proposed bill in regards to accreditation omitted the AOA/ HFAP(Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program) and only recognized the Joint Commission Reoccurring funds over budget cycle to cost $320 million to Osteopathic Physicians participating in AOA Osteopathic Residency Programs AOA accrediting body would be at a disadvantage to the Joint Commission At that time, was accrediting 500 facilities nationwide and 10 in the State of Florida Covered under CMS recognition as an accrediting body, but if left out of Florida Statute would require a separate application process for each individual accreditation area causing undue burden on the AOA/HFAP when the Joint Commission would have been automatically recognized The FOMA quickly contacted the Governor’s office to arrange a meeting on this critical issue (no funding for Osteopathic Programs) The Governor’s Office was under the assumption that the AOA was already actively in the process of unification with the ACGME The FOMA informed the Governor’s Office that negotiations were ongoing, but that there was no finalized Memorandum of Understanding AOA President, Ray Stowers, DO FOMA President, Greg James, DO AOA Director, Division of State Government Affairs, Nick Schilligo FOMA Legislative Chair, Paul Seltzer, DO FOMA Key Contact Physicians Program Representative Ron Renuart, DO – Florida House of Representatives Success on both accounts!

Oil and Gas production has been good, economy ok. Half MS graduates leave Texas, but half of those want to stay. Texas is a net exporter. Cue up obligatory attacks on Yankees and Californians. Medicine, HRI, Hospitals realize the opportunity and build an alliance. No major heavy lifting on other overarching health issues, so opportunity exists for a meaningful ask. The Policy The Process Rolls On: The Interim before 2017 • Senate Bill 18 passed both bodies with no opposition. • THECB continues to distribute planning grants. • Expands current programs, Increases number of new programs, provide planning grants to encourage efforts • Beyond the $53M increase in GR funds, the JUA will be utilized to bridge the 3rd year (2 year budget cycles). • Focus on Primary care, and other high need specialties. Ie: Psychiatry and general surgery, areas of need – rural and underserved. • Another bill directs THECB to collect data on where medical school graduates start and finish training. Beyond • HB 18 is a great step, but does not entirely solve the problem. • 3 new medical schools coming online in 2017. • Steady funding source? • Texas Economy? • Many State legislative candidates promising Republican primary voters a more austere budget. • Challenge remains to establish new programs due to timing and Legislative expectations.

What Not to Say • We take a whole person approach to treating our patients. • Our focus is on wellness and prevention. • We consider the mind, body and spirit, not just the symptoms. • DOs are taught to see the person inside the patient. • We take care of people, not problems. Change Is Hard Avoid calling DOs “osteopaths” • Consumers are confused and don’t understand that DOs are physicians • This term does not reflect the complete scope of medical training osteopathic physicians receive in the U.S. KEEP CALM AND CALL AN OSTEOPATH OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN We are Osteopathic Physicians or DOs! “That was the most awkward, uncomfortable conversation I’ve ever had.
