The US Is Throwing Away At Least 3,500 Donated Kidneys Every Year, Study Finds
(CNN) — There are currently 93,000 people in the United States on a waiting list for a donated kidney, yet at least 3,500 donated kidneys are discarded every year, according to a study published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. The lack of organs for kidney failure patients is a major public health problem and one that President Donald Trump addressed in July when he signed an executive order promising to transform kidney care in this country. More than 37 million Americans have chronic kidney disease and roughly 5,000 die each year while on the kidney waiting list. That’s about 12 people each day,...

Chronicles of Health Creation: RAND Report Begs New Look at Integrative Medicine and Health Professionals in the Triple Aim Era
Are you a thing or are you a human? If someone wishes to assess your potential contributions to this life we live, what is the best starting assumption: thing or human? The questions may seem silly. But a recent report from the RAND Corporation bores in on how regular medicine reduced complementary and alternative medicine professionals to "thing" status -- as "modalities" -- in the first years of the integrative medicine era. The title of the report is "Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Professions or Modalities?" The discussions among policy makers, practitioners and delivery system leaders synthesized in ...

Overcoming gender obstacles in medicine
A lack of women in leadership positions, a gender pay gap, stereotypes and self-confidence all play a role in gender inequality in medicine. At the inaugural Women in Medicine Symposium, Vineet Arora, MD, detailed these issues and discussed how women could be more empowered in the medical field. Dr. Arora has spent most of her career in academic medicine and is currently assistant dean for Scholarship and Discovery at the University of Chicago. Because there is good data, she said, academic medicine is a great lens to track women in medicine. The data and results of many studies prove there are specific obstacles that wom...

Chronicle of Health Creation: The Shadow in Berwick's Call for a 'Moral Era' for Medicine
The shadow of the U.S. medical industry is shockingly apparent in the names of the priorities its reformers declare. Most recently this dark matter was outed in the Journal of the American Medical Association by the physician and change agent Donald Berwick, MD. Berwick, something of a personal hero, called on the industry to enter a new "Moral Era." But can we right the industry's rapacious course by simply asking people to put their best foot forward? Berwick is the former recess appointee by President Obama to head the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Given his penchant for single payer, the Republicans woul...

SHM Advocates for Hospitalists and Their Patients
Advocacy, simply put, is the act of pleading or arguing in favor of something. It’s raising the concerns and voices of a group to efficiently influence decisions and affect change within political, economic, and social institutions. This is exactly what SHM has been doing on behalf of its members and their patients for decades.  Often the process and results of advocacy go unseen and seem to move at a snail’s pace. Regardless, SHM staff and volunteer clinician members of SHM’s public policy committee (PPC) constantly find effective ways to combat issues that negatively impact hospitalists’ ability to deliver high-...
