A reported 700,000 suicides worldwide annually are the impetus for the World Health Organization (WHO) to recognize what it has called a major public health problem ahead of World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept. 10.
In recognition of this global issue, during its next edition, Talk Ten Tuesdays will feature world-renowned psychiatrist and award-winning author H. Steven Moffic as the program’s special guest. Dr. Moffic will report on how to detect early-warning signs of potential self-harm. Dr. Moffic first appeared on the long-running broadcast following the suicide of famed actor and comedian Robin Williams, whose death in July 2014 shook the world’s collective conscience.
All this and more will be covered during the next edition of the weekly broadcast, which will also feature these outstanding segments and thought leaders:
- RegWatch: Stanley Nachimson, longtime editorial contributor to ICD10monitor and former career professional at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), now an IT consultant, will return to the broadcast to report on the latest regulatory news coming out of Washington.
- Coding Report: Senior healthcare consultant Gloryanne Bryant will substitute for Laurie Johnson to deliver the latest coding news.
- SDoH Report: Tiffany Ferguson, a subject-matter expert on the social determinants of health (SDoH), will report on the news that’s happening at the intersection of coding and the SDoH.
- News Desk: Timothy Powell, CPA, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.
- TalkBack: Erica Remer, MD, founder and president of Erica Remer, MD, Inc., and Talk Ten Tuesdays co-host, will report on a subject that has caught her attention during her popular segment.
