To Achieve Its Goals, Population Health Needs More Specialists
By VIKRAM REDDY, MD
I attended a Population Health conference this summer where a number of representatives from large health systems and physician organizations convened to discuss common challenges. Many of my healthcare colleagues assume that anything that carries the label “Population Health” must relate to health disparities and food deserts. While we do address these topics, the vast majority of sessions and conversations had one underlying theme: lowering the total cost of care.
In rebuttal to any charges that our group is far too corporate to be considered a fair example of Population Health advocates, even the...

How can we solve the rural clinician shortage?
I was recently at a meeting where some very influential physicians were discussing a question that I’ve been thinking about for a while: how do we find medical staff for rural emergency rooms and hospitals? It’s a tough question, because, increasingly, it seems that young physicians are trained to work in urban hospitals. Those are also the places these young doctors prefer to practice. Big hospitals and teaching centers in the city. Modern medicine is highly technical and remarkable specialized, so many young docs are very uncomfortable when they have to practice far from “the mother ship” (the term we use...

The Cost of Public Reporting
ANISH KOKA MD
In an age where big data is king and doctors are urged to treat populations, the journey of one man still has much to tell us. This is a tale of a man named Joe.
Joseph Carrigan was a bear of a man – though his wife would say he was more teddy than bear. He loved guitar playing, and camp horror movies. Those who knew him well said he had a kind heart, a quick wit and loved cats.
I knew none of these things when I met Joe in the Emergency Department on a Sunday afternoon. I had been called because of an abnormal electrocardiogram – the ER team was worried he could be having a heart attack. ...

The Top 9 Augmented Reality Companies in Healthcare
When Pokemon Go conquered the world, everyone could face the huge potential in augmented reality. Although the hype around the virtual animal hunting settled, AR continues to march triumphantly into more and more industries and fields, including healthcare. Here, I listed the most significant companies bringing augmented reality to medicine and healing.
Augmented Reality Vs. Virtual Reality
Augmented reality (AR) has shown an amazing development curve since Boeing researcher, Thomas Caudell coined the term “augmented reality” in 1990. The technology changed how an NFL football game is perceived through television. Em...

Intensive lifestyle change: It works, and it ’s more than diet and exercise
What if I could prescribe a pill that could prevent or treat high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, even depression and dementia? And what if researchers had extensively researched this pill and the result was: ample proof that it’s effective. On top of that, it’s practically free and has no bad side effects. As a matter of fact, its only side effects are improved sleep, increased energy, and weight loss.
Actually, folks, this powerful medicine exists. It’s real and readily available for everyone. It’s called intensive lifestyle change. Its active ingredients are physical activity and drast...

On Seeking Counseling Before You Need To
Many clients I see here in private practice in the Midwestern area of Illinois are often very stressed. They come in appearing very calm and as soon as I get to the point on my questionnaire about what brings them their they tell me, often with tears and a sense of shame about how long they have been struggling due to their busy lives, lack of self-care and fears of the judgement might have about them. We talk about the stressors they have been having throughout their lives and although they often say none at first, the more we talk the more profoundly amazed I am that they are doing so well holding all their emotions in f...

Sometimes high-tech care can be high value
“Can you hear it?” she asked with a smile. The thin, pleasant lady seemed as struck by her murmur as I was. She was calm, perhaps amused by the clumsy second-year medical student listening to her heart.
“Yes, yes I can,” I replied, barely concealing my excitement. We had just learned about the heart sounds in class. This was my first time hearing anything abnormal on a patient, though it was impossible to miss — her heart was practically shouting at me.
Her mitral valve prolapse — a fairly common, benign condition — had progressed into acute mitral regurgitation. She came to the hospital short of ...

MOCAcare Review: Heart Monitor in Your Pocket and Blood Pressure Cuff on Your Wrist
The essence of digital health is making patients the point of care – no matter how unexpected the method. Could you ever imagine that there will be a time when you could measure your heart rate with a device slipped into your key chain holder or your blood pressure on your wrist? MOCAcare does both of that. Moreover, it provides its measurements in good quality and gives meaningful information even for laypeople.
The heart of the matter
MOCAcare’s tagline can be familiar as the title of a famous Graham Greene book about the destructive power of pity, but also as a song by Pete Doherty’s former band, The Libertines. ...

Inexact Sciences
Thoughts on the place of science in an era of false convictionSome recent articles, noted by a few of us in journals regularly monitored byHCR bloggers, provide real food for thought in our New World Order of alternate facts, fake news and truthiness.In a recent number of the still intrepidly pay-wall-free Guardian, development economist John Rapleysummarizeshis new bookTwilight of the Money Gods. This summary is the best we in the colonies can do until this month ' s UK publication of the full volume makes it to our shores.

The Future of Radiology and Artificial Intelligence
What if an algorithm could tell you whether you have cancer based on your CT scan or mammography exam? While I am certain that radiologists’ creative work will be necessary in the future to solve complex issues and supervising diagnostic processes; AI will definitely become part of their daily routine in diagnosing simpler cases and taking over repetitive tasks. So rather than getting threatened by it, we should familiarize with how it could help change the course of radiology for the better.
Radiologists who use AI will replace those who don’t
There is a lot of hype and plenty of fear around artificial intelligence an...

ECG interpretation
In my last post I mentioned ECGs.And as well as the book mentioned in the last post, there are the various books by John Hampton:ECG made easy150 ECG casesECG in practiceLook for them in your library!But there are limitations to books when it comes to teaching and learning interpretation of ECGs.
