What is more important in healthcare, computers, or nurses and other human beings? Southcoast Health cutting dozens of jobs on heels of expensive IT upgrade
That I even have to ask the question on the title of this post is a tragedy and a scandal.I've written a number of posts on this blog about hospitals laying off staff and even put in financial jeopardy due to EHR implementation, e.g., my June 2, 2014 post "In Fixing Those 9,553 EHR "Issues", Southern Arizona’s Largest Health Network is $28.5 Million In The Red" at http://hcrenewal.blogspot.com/2014/06/in-fixing-those-9553-ehr-issues.html and numerous others indexed under "healthcare IT costs" at query link http://hcrenewal.blogspot.com/search/label/healthcare%20IT%20cost.  This often occurs due to poor project plann...

Let's talk a little about patient satisfaction, shall we?
About a year ago, after Eric Duncan died at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas and two nurses who cared for him were hospitalized with the same disease that killed him (Ebola), Texas Health Resources got an independent committee to review what went wrong. It was like a root cause analysis, but more so: these were outside doctors and one nurse, they weren't paid, and they were given access to everything that was charted and all the folks involved in the Presby debacle.They came to a number of conclusions: first, that education was lacking--the staff wasn't aware of what exactly to do in case of a person with Ebola...

The marriage between technology and medicine: An interview with John Halamka
Of the nearly 100 people I interviewed for my upcoming book, John Halmaka was one of the most fascinating. Halamka is CIO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and a national leader in health IT policy. He also runs a family farm, on which he raises ducks, alpacas and llamas. His penchant for black mock turtlenecks, along with his brilliance and quirkiness, raise inevitable comparisons to Steve Jobs. I interviewed him in Boston on August 12, 2014. *** Our conversation was very wide ranging, but I was particularly struck by what Halamka had to say about federal privacy regulations and HIPAA and their impact on his job...

This is Why You Should Not Blindly Follow Your Doctor’s Advice to Vaccinate
Conclusion Most of us have been trained to believe that vaccines are safe and prevent disease. It is very confusing to first realize that this may not be true. Tremendous pressures exist from physicians, hospitals, family and the public school systems to vaccinate ourselves and our children. Physicians are taught to recommend vaccinations as a first-line defense against disease, while they are not taught the serious health damages created by vaccines. Physicians often blindly follow the recommendations of their professional organizations to vaccinate, without doing any independent research. Those few physicians and nurses ...

Boston, MA --  Healthcare professionals have reason to rejoice with TLC Industry's new language  transformation filter - The Nice Voice - that promises to allow medical professionals to speak their minds without fear of losing their jobs.Never let honesty get you in trouble again.The Nice Voice was created by Robin Hruska, a hospital floor nurse reprimanded last year for telling an attention seeking  20 year-old female admitted through the ER with generalized weakness - after she refused to go home and take care of herself - to put down her phone, stop being a whiny little brat and get her ass out of bed.Tho...

Does Public Health Have A Future?
Ebola’s arrival in the U.S. hit Americans with a jolt. Regardless of how you feel about the response to date, it should remind everyone of the importance of public health. Fortunately, public health in the U.S. has built an extraordinary track record of success. Smallpox, one of the most dreaded diseases in history, was eradicated worldwide. New vaccines have sharply cut the toll of deaths and disabilities from H flu meningitis, tetanus, pneumococcal sepsis and other deadly diseases. Adding folate to foods dramatically reduced neural tube defects in newborns. Safer cars and better roadway designs cut fatal crashes per m...

Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime: a review
This is a web version of a review of Peter Gotzsche’s book. It appeared in the April 2014 Healthwatch Newsletter. Read the whole newsletter. It has lots of good stuff. Their newsletters are here. Healthwatch has been exposing quackery since 1989. Their very first newsletter is still relevant. Most new drugs and vaccines are developed by the pharmaceutical industry. The industry has produced huge benefits for mankind. But since the Thatcherite era it has come to be dominated by marketing people who appear to lack any conscience. That’s what gave rise to the Alltrials movement. It was founded in January 2013...

Hospital Horrors
The bullet hit me just below my rib cage, punching out a huge section of my liver and collapsing my right lung. Waves of pain rippled round my chest like a stone thrown in a still pond or echoes reverberating off sandstone cliffs.I gasped for breath but could find none. I tried to scream but had no voice.I rolled onto my back, clutching the entry wound with both hands, felt the wet, blood-soaked T-shirt beneath my fingers, sodden and cold.Wait… A bizarre fact flickered across my consciousness. The temperature of the human body is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The blood spilling from my torn abdomen should be warm—not cold.I...

Two More Children Left Paralyzed by Vaccines Before Chinese CDC And WHO Admit Vaccines Cause Paralysis
Conclusion Even though vaccines have been known to cause brain damage and have done very little to prevent disease, governments continue to add more and more vaccines to the children’s vaccination schedule. This is despite the fact that the developer of the polio vaccine has openly admitted in 1977 that live virus vaccines such as influenza and paralytic polio can cause the diseases that they are intended to prevent. As the cracks are beginning to show, it appears that the CDC and the WHO are beginning to crumble under the weight of complaining parents and professionals. This is not before its time. Armed with these fact...

Twerking Disease: The Definitive Medical Resource For Doctors.
This study was published in Time magazine so it must be true.  In addition, the story was picked up by 95.8 THE BONE and was described by a self proclaimed expert twerker jockey between songs about booty slappin' and G-thangs.      EXERCISE Studies have shown most folks watching Richard Simmons in "Twerking to the Oldies" have been cured of their twerking addiction.      MIRROR THERAPY Consider buying a full length wall mirror for full therapeutic effect.  Alternatively, take a video of yourself twerking while checking yourself out in a mirror, put it on YouTube and let ever...

Book of Nurses: Collette.
Collette lives in Adelaide, and has been nursing since 1986. She trained in the hospital system, working through the time of “nursing changing from a vocation to a profession”.

In the last 10 weeks I have been a patient in 2 public hospitals I have been employed, one I currently work at. I have spent 6 weeks in a private hospital. As a nurse I have been saddened by the many of the nurses in the private hospital. And a few in the public hospital. My admitting doctor men...

This study observed marked changes in the immune profile of young adults infected with CMV, suggesting that this virus may underlie rudimentary aspects of immunosenescence even in a chronologically young population.
