Dr. Peter Buerhaus--Workforce
Scholar Visits UNM, April 25-26
Since April 2000 Peter Buerhaus, Ph.D,
RN, FAAN, has served as the Valere
Potter Professor of Nursing and Senior
Associate Dean for Research at
Vanderbilt University School of
Nursing.
Based on his extensive research,
Buerhaus is a recognized authority on
the dire nursing shortage our country
is facing due to an aging and retiring
nursing workforce being on a collision
course with a large population—
estimated to be 80 million strong—of

be significantly reduced. Buerhaus
said that when this demographic impact occurs, access to and
quality of health care will be dramatically altered.
In 2010, Dr. Buerhaus was named chair of the National Health
Care Workforce Commission, a 15-member panel comprised of
distinguished leaders from academia and the health care
industry created under The Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act. Reporting to the U.S. Government Accountability
Office (GAO), the commission’s role is to serve as a national
resource for Congress, the President, and states and localities;
to communicate and coordinate with federal departments; to
develop and commission evaluations of education and training
activities; to identify barriers to improved coordination at the
federal, state and local levels and recommend ways to address
them; and to encourage innovations that address population
needs, changing technology, and other environmental factors.
Amid concerns about a national physician shortage, a study
published in recent years in the Journal of the American Medical
Association found that more young physicians are entering the
workforce and fewer older physicians are remaining active,
resulting in estimates for a smaller and younger physician
workforce now and in the future.
The study was led by health care economists, including Dr.
Buerhaus, Douglas Staiger, Ph.D, of Dartmouth College, and
David Auerbach, Ph.D, of the Congressional Budget Office.
Projections indicate that the supply of physicians may soon
decrease below requirements. Some analysts project a physician
shortfall of as high as 200,000 by 2020.
Although debate over potential shortages has focused largely
on the number and type of physicians needed in the future, the
study shows that concerns have also been raised about data
used in physician supply estimates and projections.
Buerhaus has achieved expert status and his findings are
frequently put forth as evidence that legislative efforts must be
made to deal with the crisis the nursing shortage will inevitably
bring.
“To really knock this (nursing shortage) down, we need our
government to step up and do its part,” he said. “While it is
estimated there will be a shortage of 600,000 to 800,000 nurses
by the year 2020, more than 147,000 qualified applicants were
turned away from nursing programs in 2005, primarily due to
inadequate numbers of nursing faculty and limited classroom
and clinical facilities,” said Buerhaus.
Highly esteemed by his colleagues, Buerhaus has received
numerous prestigious awards and honors, including his 1994
election as a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing and, in
2003, election to the National Academies, Institute of Medicine.

City of Hope and AACN Partner to
Enhance Care for Cancer Patients
by Integrating Palliative Care
Content into DNP Curriculum
New NCI Funding Will Support National DNP Faculty
Development Effort
Washington, DC, March 12, 2013 – The National Cancer
Institute (NCI) has awarded grant funding to the City of Hope
Medical Center to prepare Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
faculty to integrate palliative care content into DNP program
curricula. By preparing DNP graduates to provide evidencebased palliative care in oncology, this initiative will support the
commitment of nursing schools nationwide to preparing clinical
experts with the skills needed to orchestrate and provide
optimal patient care to those with serious, life-threatening
illnesses.
“We are grateful for this opportunity from the National
Cancer Institute to provide four national train-the-trainer
courses for DNP nursing faculty over the next four years. DNP
graduates play a pivotal role in leading change and transforming
care for the 1.6 million Americans who will be diagnosed with
cancer this year, plus the 13.7 million Americans who are living
with a history of cancer. As we near full implementation of the
Affordable Care Act, DNPs will have unprecedented
opportunities to promote excellent palliative care to those with
cancer,” said Betty Ferrell, PhD, RN, FAAN, FPCN, Principal
Investigator.
“AACN applauds the City of Hope and the National Cancer
Institute for recognizing the expanding role DNP-prepared
nurses are playing in redesigning health systems and raising the
bar on patient-centered care,” said AACN President Jane
Kirschling, PhD, RN, FAAN. “Though great strides have been
made in reducing the death rate from cancer, much more must
be done to prepare a new generation of nursing leaders with
the skills needed to provide state-of-the-art palliative care for
patients and their families.”
This new project, titled Integrating Palliative Oncology Care
into Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Education and Clinical
Practice, will give nursing faculty the tools and resources needed
to educate DNP graduates on how to provide compassionate
and evidence-based palliative care to those with cancer. Using
the grant funding, free registration will be offered to 200
nursing faculty interested in attending a two-day train-thetrainer course. Faculty will be chosen competitively based on
their ability to disseminate the curriculum content to other
faculty, students, and clinical partners. Faculty must be from a
nursing school that is currently offering the DNP degree.

1.
Eat at home and cook for yourself: it’s cheaper than eating
out, you choose the ingredients, you control the nutrition,
you drive less, you waste less food
2. Eat less meat: Livestock accounts for 18% of the world’s
greenhouse gas emissions; if we take meat (beef in
particular) out of just one meal a day, it would be like taking
half a million cars off the road and we could live a little
longer
3. Eat real foods: the less processing, the less energy, and
fewer resources have been expended and real foods
haven’t had all the nutrition processed out of them
4. Eat in season: Eating produce when it’s in season means it’s
fresh (and tastier), has traveled less, and stored less
5. Shop local, buy local: eating locally and what’s in season is
easier when you shop at a farmer’s market or community
supported farm
6. Start your own backyard garden: you can have complete
control over the quality of your diet
7. Learn to preserve your food: by canning, drying, and
preserving in other ways, you can make your harvest (or
store bought bulk produce) really pay off
8. Compost: why send food to the landfill when you can turn it
into great soil for your yard or garden?
9. Buy USDA Organic foods: avoid consuming pesticides and
help prevent destruction to the environment
10. Learn the labels that have integrity: USDA Organic, Fair
Trade Certified, Rainforest Alliance, and others

Many moms start babies on solid
foods too soon
Michelle Healy, USA TODAY, March 25, 2013
Many mothers introduce solid
food to their infants earlier than
medical experts recommend,
especially babies who are
formula-fed.
Story Highlights:
 Experts recommend no solid food before baby is 4 mos. old
 Most common reason was that the baby was old enough
 Younger infants are not developmentally ready for solid food
Forty percent of mothers start feeding their
babies solid food before the recommended
minimum age of 4 months old, says a new
study. And many said their health care
provider gave them the go-ahead.
Moms who gave babies formula were
twice as likely as those who exclusively
breast-fed to start solids too early (53% to 24%), says the study
in the April issue of Pediatrics, released online today.
Understanding parents' motivations is important, because a
number of health problems are associated with the early
introduction of solid foods, says study co-author Kelley Scanlon,
an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. These findings "don't offer a full understanding why,
but they give us some insight," she says.
The moms cited reasons such as, "My baby was old enough,"
and, "It would help my baby sleep longer at night."
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the head
and neck control and overall coordination that infants need to
safely eat solids does not develop until around 4 months. In
addition, the early introduction of solids may increase the risk of
some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, eczema and
celiac disease, the study notes.
Giving solids too soon also ends exclusive breast-feeding,
which the AAP recommends for about the first 6 months
because of numerous health benefits for infants, including
reduced risk of respiratory and ear infections, diarrhea,
diabetes, obesity and sudden infant death syndrome.
A bit of cereal added to a bottle of formula is sometimes
recommended by physicians for babies with reflux, says Lana
Gagin, a pediatrician at the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in
Grand Rapids, Mich. She was not involved in the study. From a
medical standpoint, however, "There is no good, solid evidence
that it helps a baby sleep," she says.
In the study, researchers analyzed information collected
almost monthly from 1,334 mothers on when and why they
introduced solid food during infants' first year.
"We didn't expect to see so many (give solids) before 4
months," says Scanlon. She says the finding in this study that
40.4% do so is higher than previous findings that range from
19% to 29%. Unlike most past studies, which surveyed mothers
two or three years after they first introduced solids, the new
study asked moms to recall what was fed during the previous
seven days.
Among other findings:
• Mothers who introduced solid food before 4 months were
more likely to be younger, unmarried, have less education or
be participating in the federal Women, Infants and Children
(WIC) nutrition program.
• 8% said they introduced solid food as early as 1 month or
younger, including 11% who formula-fed only and 5% who
breast-fed only.
• 89% of moms who introduced solid food early said they did
so because their baby was old enough to begin eating solids;
71% said the baby seemed hungry a lot; 67% said the baby
wanted the food I ate or showed interest in solid food; 8%
said the baby had a medical condition that might be helped
by eating solid food.
Although 56% of moms who introduced solids early said a
medical provider recommended that their baby begin eating
solid food early: "We don't know actually what advice the health
care provider gave. But at least this was the perception the
parents got — that this was the time to begin solids," says
Scanlon.
That finding underscores the importance of pediatricians and
other providers giving clear, accurate and supportive advice to
parents, says Gagin.
"We sometimes wait until (parents) come in for the 4-month
well visit to discuss complementary foods, when introducing the
subject during the 2-month check might be better," she says.
"We may not spend enough time explaining why they should
wait and explaining that every time a baby cries doesn't mean
they're hungry."

The FY2014 Budget: Strengthening
Health and Opportunity for all
Americans
By Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services
On April 10, the President released a budget that strengthens
the middle class, creates jobs and reduces the deficit in a
balanced way. The budget for the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) provides critical investments in health
care, disease prevention, social services and scientific research
to create healthier and safer families, stronger communities and
a thriving America.
First, our budget makes sure we can continue to implement
the Affordable Care Act to give more Americans the security of
affordable health coverage. The health care law is already
making a huge difference in Americans’ lives, and more options
for health insurance coverage are just around the corner. Open
enrollment for the new Health Insurance Marketplaces begins
st
on October 1 of this year, and coverage will start on January 1,
2014. This budget supports investments in the Health Insurance
Marketplace and will ensure Americans in every state have
somewhere they can go to get quality health insurance to fit
their budget.
We’re also proposing a major new investment in programs to
help identify mental health concerns early, improve access to
mental health services and support safer school environments.
While we know that the vast majority of Americans who
struggle with mental illness are not violent, recent tragedies
have reminded us of the staggering toll that untreated mental
illness takes on our society.
This budget supports the President’s call to provide every
American child with access to high quality early learning
services, so that our children gain the skills they need to do the
jobs of tomorrow. And it helps make America a magnet for jobs
by securing
America’s place
as the world
leader in science
and technology,
and supporting
the groundbreaking research
that will generate
the treatments,
vaccines, and
cures of
tomorrow. The
significant new
investments this
budget contains
for the NIH
reflect our
commitment to
furthering the
biomedical
research that will
help create good new jobs and advance the cause of medical
science. That work will include projects like the human brain
mapping initiative the President announced earlier this month.
At the same time, the budget contributes to the President’s
balanced plan to significantly reduce the deficit in the long term.
Due in part to the successful implementation of the Affordable
Care Act, Medicare spending per beneficiary grew at a
historically low rate of 0.4% in 2012. The President's 2014
budget would achieve even more savings. In total, the budget
would build on the Affordable Care Act by generating an
additional $370 billion in Medicare savings over the next
decade, reducing the deficit and putting Medicare on sounder
financial footing.
The FY 2014 Budget reflects our efforts to make cutting fraud,
waste and abuse a top Administration priority. We’re proposing
an increase in mandatory funding for our Health Care Fraud and
Abuse Control program—an initiative that last year saved the
taxpayers nearly eight dollars for every dollar spent on it. And
we’re investing in additional efforts, including reducing
improper Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP payments, enhancing
the investigative efforts of our Office of Inspector General.
What this all adds up to is a budget that will help HHS to
pursue this Administration’s North Star of a thriving middle
class. It’s a budget that promotes job growth and bolsters the
programs and investments American families count on to live
healthy lives. And it will keep our economy strong in the years to
come, while also helping to bring down the deficit.

In your 50s plus…
Whittle your
waist
If a few extra pounds
have settled around your
middle since
menopause, you’re not alone. “Basically, we start putting on
weight more like men,” says Nieca Goldberg, MD, medical
director of New York University’s Women’s Heart Program and
author of Complete Guide to Women’s Health. The “meno
potbelly” is especially hard on the heart because it builds up
around internal organs, triggers inflammation, and leads to
insulin resistance.
Research from the famous Nurses’ Health Study found that
women with a waist circumference of more than 35 inches were
twice as likely to die of heart disease than women with a 28-inch
waist, regardless of weight. Low-intensity workout routines can
help slow down the belly buildup, but to shrink it you’ll need to
work up a sweat with 60 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic
exercise at least three times a week. Try jogging, walking on the
treadmill on a challenging incline, or swimming laps.
