Myocarditis update from Sweden
BY ANISH KOKA The COVID19/vaccine myocarditis debate continues in large part because our public health institutions are grossly mischaracterizing the risks and benefits of vaccines to young people. A snapshot of what the establishment says as it relates to the particular area of concern: college vaccine mandates: Dr. Arthur Reingold, an epidemiology professor at UC-Berkeley, notes that UC also requires immunizations for measles and chickenpox, and people still are dying from COVID at rates that exceed those for influenza. As of Feb. 1, there were more than 400 COVID deaths a day across the U.S. “The arg...

What Duplicate Patient Notes Reveal About Health Care and Its Records
Bloat in patient notes has been alarming doctors for some time. The American Medical Informatics Association began a project to reduce patient documentation to 25% of its current volume by 2025. This task won’t be solved by any single organizer or sector; the AMIA calls on providers and health systems, Health IT vendors, and policy and advocacy groups to join the effort. A recent study in a JAMA publication, “Prevalence and Sources of Duplicate Information in the Electronic Medical Record,” helps drive discussion of bloat forward by focusing on one manifestation: the duplication of text from one patient n...

Mrs. Verma Goes to Washington
By ANISH KOKA MD  Seema Verma, the Trump appointee who runs Medicare, has had an active week. The problem facing much-beloved Medicare is one that faces every other government-funded healthcare extravaganza: it’s always projected to be running out of money. Medicare makes up 15% of the total federal budget. That’s almost $600 billion dollars out of a total federal outlay of $4 Trillion dollars. The only problem here is that revenues are around $3.6 trillion. We are spending money we don’t have, and thus there there is constant pressure to reduce federal outlays. This is a feat that appears to be legislatively im...

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...

I didn ’t become a physician to do data entry
The trouble began when I needed to open the electronic health record (EHR) system for the tenth time that day. EHRs have significantly changed the way we practice medicine. They have completely eliminated the need for storage and transport of paper charts, reduced prescription errors secondary to illegible handwritings of physicians and provided an excellent platform to maximize billing for services rendered. However, in terms of creating a smooth workflow for physicians and in facilitating meaningful face to face encounters with our patients, all EHR systems have completely failed. Sara, the nurse for Ms. Tucker, called m...
