GimsonY Tylenol recall of 2010

Oh boy – the Tylenol recall of 2010 is beginning. This time, it's more than voluntary - the FDA has sided against lobbyists for once and initiated a recall of multiple Tylenol products, along with other Johnson and… Continue

Demetrios Perdikis Are You in the Right Collaboration Environment?

More than team building and management.

Collaboration is, to me, about the division of labor (as the word's etymology implies) that leads to cooperation toward a common goal. There are two models of collaboration and team-building that I believe speak to the spirit of consensual cooperation.

One is Christensen's model of consensus-driven cooperation*. From that view, the effectiveness of collaboration depends on how well one executes two factors. The first is to correctly iden

Justine Lam The importance of understanding the mechanics/processes of MS.

In Clayton Christensen's "Innovator's Prescription" he highlights a chart which shows a correlation between how treatable common diseases and conditions are versus how much current science understands the disease/condition.

Figure 2.4 Current map of common medical conditions from "Innovator's Prescription" by Clayton M. Christensen and how the Myelin Repair Foundation wants… Continue

LucianoV Weird News - Urine Test as aid for Drug Prescription

A new urine test could help predict which drugs will be most effective for doctors' patients. In trials, scientists showed that the test could predict how well men would respond to paracetamol. The test analysis levels of different by-products of people's metabolism, which could ultimately allow GPs to work out which drugs suit which people. Well at least this wont cost too… Continue

Jody Hoffer Gittell From live chat on 7/29/09:

From live chat on 7/29/09: "Your success at Southwest was in context of a single company with a compelling vision and culture. Health care with competing/conflicting interests is a different challenge. How can those entrenched silos be overcome to achieve high performance?" Airlines actually have many of the same challenges that we find in healthcare -- fragmentation between pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and so on is similar to the fragmentation we find between doctors, nurses, therapis… Continue

Jody Hoffer Gittell High Performance Healthcare: Using the Power of Relationships to Achieve Quality, Efficiency and Resilience

We've learned from the Institute of Medicine that fragmentation (lack of coordination) is a major culprit in the errors and waste that plague our healthcare system, but this problem does not seem to be getting sufficient attention in the current policy debates. In High Performance Healthcare, I show that relational coordination – coordinating work through relationships of shared goals, shared knowledge and mutual respect among care providers – can connect care providers with each other to produc… Continue

Demetrios Perdikis Patients with Dizziness - Audiology's Perspective

This article by Ives nicely describes the role of audiologists in distinguishing among major dizziness types. I especially like the author's integrating such reimbursement items as proper coding into the article's clinical context.
Discovering the Dizzy Patient by Terri E. Ives, ScD, AuD, CCC-A, FAAA The year 2009 brings a new billing code into the world of dizziness evaluation. At the end of October 2008, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the final 200… Continue

Divya Mohan Little School-based health centers deliver needed health care services

In your article commentary, "We don't need more doctors" (CNN 5/13/09), you wrote: "There IS a shortage of health care services being provided, but many of them are not best offered by a doctor. All parents know the experience of worrying whether their child has an ear infection -- treatment involves considerable pleading for a standby appointment at the doctor's office, followed by a long wait, a 30-second visit with the doctor, and then a trip to the pharmacy for another long wait. Throw… Continue

Demetrios Perdikis Tribes Demand Care Value

Can building tribes be a catalyst for improving medical care value? To Seth Godin our Tribes are what connect us to ideas that we find important. What value we place on our medical care is determined by the stakeholders of our care. Stakeholders in our care are the individuals and groups of people organized as entities or otherwise who stand to benefit from our medical improvement or be somehow penalized by our medical deterioration. Who are the stakeholders? There are direct st… Continue

Jason Hwang Networks of Innovation

In The Innovator's Prescription, we estimated that facilitated networks -- business models in which customers exchange resources with one another -- comprise up to 40% of GDP. In comparison to the general economy, networks seem drastically underutilized in health care, despite the increasing ubiquity of telecommunications that has allowed providers and patients to connect in new ways. However, there are many innovative network models beginning to take shape. We highlighted how patient ne… Continue

Demetrios Perdikis What Patients Value

It is axiomatic that to most effectively treat a disease you must first establish a diagnosis. While good diagnosis is no guarantee of a great outcome, some form of poor diagnosis, whether incomplete or missed, makes a poor outcome virtually certain. As such, diagnoses have long been considered the observable effects of a biological problem. This surface approach is the result of entrenched patient interviewing methods that consider a person’s history as a mere chronology of events rather than… Continue

Demetrios Perdikis The Confusion of Shifting Value

Our medical care system is missing a framework for understanding the value that patients seek in a medical care encounter. The act of seeking medical counsel is itself a defining characteristic of a patient. Understanding how one comes to seek medical care in the first place is essential to framing a patient's concerns in the right context. As good business theory goes a transaction is the exchange of tangibles or intangibles that a party values less for other tangibles or intangibles the same… Continue

Lynn Johnson Integrated Employee Health and Positive Psychology

I am posting this on my own website, and since it directly addresses my interest (mental health and disruptive interventions) I post it here. Integrated Employee Health and Positive Psychology WE KNOW A FEW THINGS about happiness. First, it can be changed, reliably and persistently. Second, the ways people try to increase happiness (buying Stuff, having more than the neighbors, and seeking pleasure or excitement) are all dead ends. Third, happy people are healthier and more productive than unh… Continue
