February 16, 2012 TechCrunch: Communication is the most important medical instrumentThe future of medicine in the U.S. is clear. The days of the “do more, bill more” model of reimbursement are numbered as they have produced one of the most inefficient healthcare systems in the world. While there are many unknowns regarding the future model, one thing is crystal clear — highly effective communication will separate the winners from the losers.
February 16, 2012 The New England Journal of Medicine: Patients and doctors -- the evolution of a relationshipThe relationship between patients and doctors is at the core of medical ethics, serving as an anchor for many of the most important debates in the field. Over the past several decades, this relationship has evolved along three interrelated axes — as it is defined in clinical care, research, and society. Many of the pivotal discussions of these issues have appeared in the pages of the Journal (see Key NEJM Articles on Medical Ethics).
February 13, 2012 Modern Physician: Plan aims to boost primary-doc workforceThe federal government has awarded $9.1 million to medical students who are studying to be primary-care doctors, HHS announced.
February 10, 2012 Today's Hospitalist: A look at hospitalist work in the ICUWHILE THERE'S A SHORTAGE of hospitalists across the nation, there’s an even greater shortage of intensivists. As a result, hospitalists often end up doing double duty by working the wards and the ICU. According to the 2011 Today’s Hospitalist Compensation & Career Survey, 71% of hospitalists say they work in the ICU. Here’s a look at how many hospitalists are working in the ICU and the roles they play.
February 08, 2012 Mashable Business: Could a Facebook for doctors improve your care?Your accountant can email a specialist for advice about a specific issue in your tax return. Your doctor, however, doesn’t necessarily have the same access to easy collaboration. There may, however, be a Facebook-like solution in the wings.
February 08, 2012 Becker's Hospital Review: Recruiting physicians: Easier said than done?Judging from recent news reports, surveys and studies, many hospital CEOs might imagine physicians running — not walking — to their local hospital and pleading for employment. As of 2010, roughly 75 percent of physicians were already in financial relationships with hospitals and 44 percent of those physicians were employed.
February 06, 2012 American Medical Association Journal of Ethics: Hospitalist medicine: voluntary or mandatoryThe hospitalist model has evolved rapidly into an established, site-based specialization that serves as the pillar of inpatient care for a number of facilities across the country. In the 10 years since the advent of the hospitalist movement, there has been significant growth in the field, with approximately 20,000 hospitalist clinicians in the United States today [1]. Despite this remarkable expansion, questions about the model of care remain. With a growing repository of encouraging cost and outcomes data, inquiries about hospitalist medicine have slowly moved away from the merits of the model. A significant debate now centers on whether the use of hospitalists should be mandated at institutions or remain a voluntary practice.
February 03, 2012 Today's Hospitalist: Walking the walk in transitional careOver the years, the growth in the number of hospitalists has spawned a number of other "ist" movements, from laborists to surgicalists. But the latest twist on hospital medicine—what some call "transitionalists"—may be the most important yet. That's because the new role promises to solve some of the most vexing problems facing hospitals and hospitalists alike: high readmission rates and gaps in post-discharge care.
February 03, 2012 Journal of Hospital Medicine: Job characteristics, satisfaction, and burnout across hospitalist practice modelsNearly two-thirds of hospitals in the United States are served by hospitalist physicians. How hospitalist work patterns and job satisfaction vary across various practice models is unknown.
