Expensive Hospitals: The Enemy Within
By ANISH KOKA MD Everyone agrees that health care is bankrupting the nation. The prevailing winds have carried the argument that a system that pays per unit of health care delivered and thus favors volume over value is responsible. The problem, you see, was the doctors. They were just incentivized to do too much. This incontrovertible fact was the basis for changes in the healthcare system that favored hospital employment and have made the salaried physician the new normal. Yet, health care costs remain ascendant. Why? It turns out overutilization in the US healthcare system isn’t what its cracked up to be. Figure 1...

A completely healthy 30-something woman with acute chest pain -- this post is loaded with info !!!
p.p1 {margin: 0.1px 0.0px 0.1px 0.2px; font: 11.0px Helvetica}A previously healthy young woman presented to the ED with one hour of acute onset right sided chest pain and pressure, very severe, radiating down the right arm.  Here is her initial ED ECG (time 0):What do you think?My impression:without any other information, I looked at this ECG and 2 features stood out: 1) the T-wave in lead I is hyperacute.  It is far too large for that QRS.  2) The T-wave in V6 is far too large; it is almost as tall as the R-wave, which is distinctly abnormal.  3) there is slight downsloping ST depression in V2 whi...

Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardias for the EM Physician
Written by Pendell Meyers, reviewed by Steve Smith and Scott Weingart“Idiopathic ventricular tachycardias” refer to a group of tachydysrhythmias originating below the AV node and bundle of His but differing in etiology, prognosis, and treatment compared to classic ventricular tachycardia (VT). The name “idiopathic” is becoming more and more inappropriate, as various specific subgroups and specific etiologies are being discovered, including right ventricular outflow tract VT, fascicular VT, and bundle branch reentrant VT. To understand these entities one must first understand the differences between classic VT and i...

A Caregiver ’ s Perspective on Patient Engagement
The following is a guest blog post by Michael Archuleta, Founder and CEO of ArcSYS, where he shares his experience as a caregiver for his father trying to navigate the healthcare system. My dad is 99 years old. Having moved him to Utah 6 months ago into a retirement home, our first step was to get an appointment with a new primary care physician. I brought along a list of his medications and watched the nurse tediously look up and enter each into the EHR. Dad and the doctor got along great on that first visit. She assured us that she could help manage his medications. There was nothing realistically that could be done to r...

In Search of Intra-Aero-Bili-ty
By MATTHEW HOLT Another one of my favorites, although this one is much more recent than those published so far–dating back to only March 2015. It was the written version of a talk I gave in September 2014 following the birth of my son Aero on August 26, 2014. So if we are discussing birthdays (and re-posting classics as, yes, it’s still THCB’s 15th birthday week!) we might as well have one that is literally about the confluence of a birthday and the state of health IT, health business, care for the underserved and much more! Today is the kick-off of the vendor-fest that is HIMSS. Late last week on THCB, ...
