THCB 20th Birthday Classic:  As I’ve always suspected, Health Care = Communism + Frappuccinos
By MATTHEW HOLT Our 20th birthday continues with a few classics coming out. Back in 2005 I was really cutting a lyrical rug, and would never miss a chance to get that Cambridge training in Marxism into use. This essay about whether health care should be a public or private good has always been one of my favorites, even if I’m not sure Starbucks is still making Frappuccinos. And 18 years later the basic point of this essay remains true, even if many of you will not have a clue who Vioxx or Haliburton were or why they mattered back then! Those of you who think I’m an unreconstructed commie will correctly suspec...

HFMA Edition – What ’ s Something More People Should be Talking About in Healthcare?
There are so many things to talk about in healthcare – both in terms of new technology and ideas as well as problems that we need to fix – but there is so little time to do so. We can’t talk about healthcare 24/7, the best we can do is pick the most important things for today and leave the rest for the future. But how do we decide which ones are the most important topics that need our attention now? At the HFMA Annual conference we talked with our amazing Healthcare IT Today Community for their insights on what more people need to be focused on in healthcare right now. All of their answers have been compi...

Moving the Industry Forward with First-Of-Its-Kind RCM Technology Adoption Model for Healthcare Finance Leaders
An adoption model methodology is nothing new in the healthcare industry. HIMSS, for example, built their Healthcare Maturity Models to provide clear adoption and implementation pathways for various technologies and capabilities that health systems need. What the market had been lacking, however, is a tried-and-true framework that could address the revenue cycle management needs of healthcare finance leaders. Adoption models, which are very popular in computing and organizational change, define stages for the adoption of a process or technology and helps organizations determine which stage they’re at: piloting, early adop...

It takes a village to strengthen patient-provider relationships
A recent study in Annals of Family Medicine confirms what many providers have long believed: stronger patient-provider relationships can yield better patient health outcomes. It only stands to reason. Patients and providers can better understand and manage health conditions when communicating regularly and sharing information openly. This is especially beneficial when patients have multiple chronic Read more… It takes a village to strengthen patient-provider relationships originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

THCB 20th Birthday Classic: McKinsey wants to inspire lots of change; caveat emptor
by MATTHEW HOLT So to celebrate 20 years, we’ll be publishing a few classics for the next week or so. This is one of my faves from the early days of THCB, back in 2006. It’s interesting to compare it with Jeff Goldsmith’s NEW piece from yesterday on vertical integration because at the time a pair of Harvard professors, Michael Porter and Elizabeth Teisberg were telling hospitals to change their operations in a way that seemed to me were going to destroy their business–cut down to one or two service lines they were best at and stop with the rest. McKinsey picked up on this and I went to town on wh...

Survivors of Nuclear Weapon Use in Early Life Exhibit Accelerated Immune Aging in Late Life
It probably strains the meaning of the term to call the aftermath of the use of nuclear weapons at the end of the Second World War a natural experiment, but nonetheless there has been considerable study of survivors from those events and their health relative to control populations in other parts of Japan. Irradiation is known to produce what is effectively accelerated aging in the context of cancer treatment, producing an increased burden of senescent cells that then ensure the later course of health for survivors is worse than would otherwise be the case, absent both cancer and treatment. In the case of exposure to radia...

What Is Pharmacology?
Credit: iStock. Pharmacology is the study of how molecules, such as medicines, interact with the body. Scientists who study pharmacology are called pharmacologists, and they explore the chemical properties, biological effects, and therapeutic uses of medicines and other molecules. Their work can be broken down into two main areas: Pharmacokinetics is the study of how the body acts on a medicine, including its processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Pharmacodynamics is the study of how a medicine acts in the body—both on its intended target and throughout all the organs and tissue...

Vertical Integration Doesn ’t Work in Healthcare:  Time to Move On
Conclusion Healthcare providers of all stripes must leave the industrial world behind. The value chains in health services are not physical, but rather comprised of human relationships, sustained by trust. Virtual care, the advent of AI in healthcare and consumer demand will require a flexible, 24/7 and care anywhere business model. Those who build the best modern clinical mousetrap will end up with a committed clinical staff and loyal patients. Healthcare isn’t about the building, or the brand, or scale. Surviving and thriving in the future will require engaged clinicians who foster trust on the part o...
