Forbes
September 07, 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the lives of millions of individuals — both in the United States and around the world. In the United States, the pandemic has exacerbated the nation’s drug overdose epidemic in tandem with ravaging the mental health of many by increasing stress and isolation. Individuals with substance use issues find it more challenging to get help due to limited access to facilities, widespread program cancellations and decreased prevention measures during the pandemic. In this article, I will provide an overview of the public health situation and provide my thoughts on how to continue to prevent and mitigate the challenges ahead.

The Opioid Crisis Left Behind During the COVID-19 Global Pandemic
LinkedIn
January 15, 2021

The pandemic, opioid crisis, and financial despair combined are some of the most significant health and economic displacements in the United States history. The cause is the financial burden of medical care, mistrust of the medical system, and increasing isolation from lack of healthcare system access that is likely to persist well beyond 2021. Together this will leave hundreds of patients with pre-existing chronic conditions, including substance use disorders lagging with discontinuous medical care.

Three Strategies To Build Trust In Health Care Focused On Patient Centricity
Forbes
December 14, 2020

Building trust is the foundation of the patient experience — a vital part of the healing process. What is even more critical is that we collectively address progress by addressing trust in public health, which has become especially critical when we discuss vaccine development and Covid-19. And in the business world, health care companies need to become more connected with trust to succeed.

Empowering Women To Succeed In Health Care Leadership
Forbes
March 12, 2020

The statistics for women in health care leadership positions must improve to drive innovation into the 21st century. Women comprise nearly two-thirds of the health care industry and make around 80% of buying decisions in the space, but they fill only around 30% of C-suite positions, according to a 2019 study by Oliver Wyman. To make strides in health care policy and innovation, we need to ensure women have a seat at the table and are making decisions that impact health care innovation and strategy.

Empowering Patient-Centricity for the Future of Health

October 23, 2019

As the United States continues to address the ongoing opioid crisis, policymakers, health-care providers, corporate stakeholders, and patients are having difficulty balancing opioid misuse prevention strategies with widespread calls to curb their use in the aggregate. Indeed, the statistics are sobering. Drug overdose is currently the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Opioids, which include heroin, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, and fentanyl, are driving the crisis into a fragile state across the United States. Currently, on average, 130 Americans die every day from opioid misuse. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug overdose is now the leading cause of accidental death in the United States.

Fierce Healthcare's 2021 Women of Influence Awards
Fierce Healthcare

Johns Hopkins’ Dr. Anita Gupta is pushing to remove barriers to better healthcare
Dr. Anita Gupta, adjunct assistant professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine and pain medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Age: 46

Education: Master’s degree in public and health policy from Princeton University. Dual-doctorate in medicine and pharmacy from Rowan University and Rutgers University. Graduate of Harvard Business School's general management program.

About her: Gupta has been a tireless advocate for patients whose voices risk being drowned out in public discourse.

She spearheads an ongoing campaign to reduce opioid overdoses and deaths by advocating for public access to naloxone, the opioid-blocking drug. Access to the treatment has greatly reduced the number of preventable deaths from opioid overdoses since 2015 when the American Society of Anesthesiologists appointed her to push the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand its use on the front lines. “Even one such death is preventable,” she said. “No one should ever die of drug overdoses due to reasons that are within the U.S. health system’s ability to control.”

Throughout her career, she has helped corporations, governments, non-profits, physicians and providers deliver high-quality patient care, create sound policies and drive innovation. She has worked on projects as diverse as accelerating breakthrough innovations and creating COVID-19 global corporate vaccination policies.

Gupta was the first female anesthesiologist-pharmacist to be an alumna of both Harvard Business School and Princeton University, and the first woman physician-anesthesiologist to co-chair the American Society of Anesthesiologists' Committee on Prescription Opioid Abuse. She is also a member advisor to the FDA and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. She has been recognized for her leadership in public health and her advocacy around the opioid crisis and COVID-19 vaccines by Sharecare Awards and many other organizations. She has been included on numerous lists of top healthcare leaders both nationally and globally.

First job: “Animal caretaker. I spent many hours helping in local community rural farms in New Jersey."

Proudest accomplishment: “As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, my team and I launched a first-of-its-kind virtual innovation program focused on vaccine and digital health advocacy called HealthPivot.org, reaching a worldwide audience of over a million people. We also coordinated outreach with governments, policymakers, corporations, insurers, healthcare providers and researchers to address emerging COVID-19 threats and workforce challenges head-on.”

Problem she’s most passionate about trying to solve: “I am committed to positively impacting global health with open innovation and public policy on patient outcomes at a larger scale for populations while maintaining that sense of connectedness to patients. My work on the opioid crisis started in the epicenter of Philadelphia when I realized the impact of open innovation and the intersection of the opioid crisis on patients, communities and global health. I noted the critical importance of solving these challenges by combining strategic initiatives with innovation and equitable access while reforming health policy in Philadelphia.”

Book she recommends to other healthcare leaders: “The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail" by Clayton Christensen.

Advice she would give to her younger self: “Time is limited and essential to living your life to the fullest and so invest less time in your career. Have the courage to follow your intuition, as some of the things you once placed great emphasis on slowly fade away. More essential aspects of your life, such as family and experiences, will be your foundation.”

What she’d do with her career if it wasn’t this: “Photography and art. I am fascinated by how art can be used as a treatment option to heal and improve health outcomes, particularly with pain.”

Advice she’d give to healthcare leaders looking to make a real impact on health equity: “The future for healthcare is bright when we innovate and create a healthcare system for all focused on serving communities built on unbreakable trust, delivering the best quality of care for all with open innovation foundation. Investing in this will make our communities strong and healthy for the future. This will help deliver breakthrough innovation and create equitable access for our teams, our patients and our clinicians, which is necessary to address in the future. We must make sure all people have equal access to maintain and manage their health, now and beyond.”

Looking Beyond the Impossible for Rare Diseases
UBC
November 01, 2018

The NORD Rare Disease Summit is something I look forward to each year. It is a time to share and discuss all that we each do in the rare disease community−whatever area we work in, be it drug development, clinical research, regulatory compliance, or patient advocacy. The Summit offers a unique opportunity to collaborate as a community, truly learn from one another, and most importantly return to our work with a renewed focus and passion for advancing treatments for patients with a rare disease. These connections help me to keep the perspective of patients and families front and center. They are the reason why I go to work each day.

Among the most powerful presentations of the Rare Disease Summit was the keynote panel moderated by physician anesthesiologist and now NORD Education Advisory Committee advocate, Dr. Anita Gupta. Dr. Gupta reflected upon her journey as a rare disease survivor, “Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” The impressive group of patient advocate panelists moderated by Dr. Gupta spoke about the critical elements required to drive progress for the rare disease community. The common element in what each of them conveyed was the power of their “voice”. By focusing their efforts on education of rare diseases with determination these young leaders are helping to build a community that is influencing the industry and making impactful changes. Their reflections remind us of the importance of amplifying the patient voice and being a compassionate advocate.
