Addressing Patient Burnout With Digital Transformation
The following is a guest article by Jim Tyrrell, Vice President of Enterprise Product Management at TNS
COVID-19 didn’t spawn patient dissatisfaction, but the pandemic did accelerate it. In 2022, only 12% of US adults surveyed said healthcare was handled ‘extremely’ or ‘very’ well.
Patient care frustration can pose very real financial risks for healthcare brands: satisfied patients are 28% less likely to switch providers, highlighting the importance of addressing their needs to improve patient retention. Post-pandemic patient frustration can be traced to multiple factors, chief among them the blunt reality that A...

Globalization and occupation therapy - a continued musing.
I have been talking about the implications of globalization on the occupational therapy profession for quite some time - it started off withblog posts here and then apresentation at OT24VX in 2015. Then I gave the topic a whole chapter inmy theory textbook in 2019. Then there were more blog postshereandhere.In sum, I am uncertain if occupational therapy is a unitary global profession, although I now add this caveat:at least as understood in the publications of academics. I add this caveat now because I am uncertain if the things that people in academia write about truly reflects actual practice in oth...

A Study Reveals The Impact Of Childhood TV Habits On Adult Blood Pressure
Conclusion
In sum, monitoring and managing screen time is not just about today’s habits but a long-term investment in a child’s future health, particularly their blood pressure levels. The data linking childhood TV viewing to adult health problems like high blood pressure underscores the urgency of this matter.
However, understanding is just the first step. From here, we must translate this knowledge into action – through parental control, societal initiatives, healthier dietary habits, and increased physical activity. But we must also remember that screen time isn’t all bad – the conten...

Mindlessness
Academy Health is the rather oddly named society for health services researchers. They sent me a press release which I excerpt: Today, the House Appropriations Committee released a
breathtakingly reckless bill that decimates federal research, science,
and medicine programs, and puts the health of all Americans at risk. It
is so extreme that many pundits presume it has zero chance of becoming
law, but that very extremism requires that we respond quickly and
unequivocally. . . . " This bill would eliminate the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) in its entirety. AHRQ supports r...

HHS Again Suspends Disbelief: The Medicaid Program Will Ignore the Greatest Health Threat to Medicaid Beneficiaries
BY DAVID INTROCASO

In An Ironic Twist, the AMA Seeks Alternatives to the Residency Matching Program
Jeffrey A. SingerLast weekend the American Medical Association House of Delegates passed a resolution tacitly claiming that the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) is likely anti ‐competitive and a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. The resolution concluded:RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association study alternatives to the current residency and fellowship Match process which would be less restrictive on free market competition for applicants.
