Primary Care - Virtual Health Care

     Virtual Health, a virtual service provider that supplements home health amenities to seniors and caregivers, announced today that its subscription-based service is available nationwide to assist seniors to live independently at home, while also assisting family caregivers. In addition to expanding their reach nationwide, Virtual Health has partnered with multiple healthcare providers. Tom Blue, the Executive Director of the American Academy of Private Physicians, a new partner of Virtual Health, explained the importance of technology in health care today. He stated, "The healthcare landscape is changing dramatically, and primary care physicians need to find innovative services which leverage technology, differentiate our services and offer opportunities for revenue enhancement for non-covered services."
    
     Tom Blue makes an interesting call to action for primary care physicians. With increased technology use, physicians need to provide services to entice patients to seek their care. According to a recent study by an New York University research team, 26% of children in the United States did not see a general health care provider in 2008, which proves it is wise for primary care physicians to implement innovative ways to connect with patients through the use of technology. With healthcare resources at their fingertips, many patients may choose to "Google" their symptoms as opposed to going to the doctor’s office. Creating value in technological services, like what Virtual Health is attempting, it is possible for primary care physicians to increase their client base and effectiveness of providing care.

     What are ways in which you use technology in your own practices?

Another Benefit of a Diet Including Fish

Image: FreeDigitalPhotos.net

     A new study released supports the idea that fish, especially those rich in omega 3 fatty acids are beneficial for the brain and brain functions. Experts have long speculated that omega 3 fatty acids may reduce the inflammation of the brain and play a role in brain development and nerve cell regeneration and have other brain-boosting effects. This new study from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, however, takes this hypothesis one step further by surmising that consuming non-fried (baked or broiled) fish can battle against the brain shrinkage and cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s.
     To arrive at this conclusion, researchers tracked 260 adults with normal cognitive function for a time of ten years. They used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure brain volume and memory function of each of the 260 participants both at the beginning and end of the analysis. Based on responses from a questionnaire, 163 of the participants consumed fish on a weekly basis, with the majority of the 163 eating fish one to four times each week.
     The findings showed subjects who consumed more fish had better memory function and larger brain areas, including the posterior cingulated cortex and the orbital frontal cortex, as well as the hippocampus even when considering other factors such as education, age, gender and physical activity. These results are especially important because the hippocampus is known to shrink in individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
     Furthermore, it seems as though people with larger brain volume saw risk for Alzheimer’s decrease by fivefold within five years after the brain scans in this study took place. Not a fish lover?—No problem as the benefit was seen among those who only consumed fish as little as one to four times a week!
     According to the president of the Campaign to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease by 2020, the study results do lend support to the idea that there is a “possible beneficial effect of diet rich in fish ingredients, ” however, as promising as the results may be, it is important to remember these finding don’t definitively prove that eating fish will prevent Alzheimer’s.

Magic Johnson: 20 Years After HIV Diagnosis

     It was twenty years and one day ago when Magic Johnson shocked the world with his retirement from basketball. Even more shocking than his retirement was the reason behind it-Magic was and is HIV positive. In the twenty years since his public announcement, Magic has used his celebrity and fame to raise awareness of and funds for HIV and AIDS research. Throughout the twenty years after announcing to the world his shocking medical diagnosis, Magic Johnson has forever altered attitudes about the virus and its effects.

     Each year, more than 40,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with HIV and more than 16,500 people in the U.S. die from AIDS annually. Those numbers, however, are nothing compared to the 2.6 million people worldwide diagnosed with HIV and the 1.8 million people who die from AIDS annually.
     Today, Magic is a 52-year old specimen of health according to his doctor, and is comfortably managing his HIV with a daily regimen of drugs and exercise. He was once required to take upwards of 15 pills several times a day, but now that number is significantly smaller.
     Magic commemorated the twentieth anniversary of his announcement at the Staples Center in Los Angeles Monday with several politicians, celebrities, and AIDS researchers. The celebration included a luncheon and an astounding one million dollar gift to the Magic Johnson Foundation which will be used to continue its mission for worldwide HIV awareness and testing.

     Magic feels he is in a way both helpful and hurtful to the HIV/AIDS cause. He often reflects on this point, saying he is “good because [he's] doing well, and [he] can go out and try and raise the awareness level, get people to go get tested ... but on the flip side of that, people see that [he's] doing well, so they've kind of relaxed on HIV and AIDS. People think that now if they get the virus, they'll do well, but a couple million will die this year." Magic is using this milestone as a call to renew dedication to the cause. Magic as well as HIV/AIDS researchers want to continually remind the public that while a diagnosis of HIV is no longer the “death sentence” it once was, we still do not have a cure. For this reason, it is important for the public to continue to get tested and is why Magic will continue to raise awareness and continue doing all he can for research.

     Magic is very happy with his life and the decisions he has made since being diagnosed twenty years ago. The only thing that could make Magic happier in his situation is if “the numbers in the black and brown communities would go down,” reminding us that in the U.S. a majority of the 60,000 new cases annually come from the minority communities. Magic believes “we must change the mindset, and we must do a better job educating those who live in urban America about this disease."
     Magic Johnson ends this remarkable event by reminding us “the best doctors and medicine in the world can't save you if you don't do what you're supposed to do," advice to remember in every medical situation.

The Importance of Board Certification

A Note from Medestar’s Vice President:

     The importance of Board Certification has increased 10 fold over the past 10 years I have spent in the locum industry. In 2001, approximately 1 out of every 10 facilities in need of additional physician coverage required Board Certification. Currently, however, 9 out of 10 facilities require Board Certification. Physicians who are not Board Certified have a much more difficult time finding a position, and I believe there are 2 main reasons for this:

     1. Hospitals and practices want to provide the best care to their patients and having a Board Certified physician shows that the physicians have met a minimum competency requirement and reflects well on the hospital since they have sought out the best providers. The same cannot be said for a physician who is non-certified. Board certification assures the public that board certified physicians have successfully completed the educational, training, and experience requirements of the specialty, including an examination designed to assess the competencies required to provide quality services in that specialty. This process serves to address the competency of the physician, not just knowledge. Board Certification further legitimatizes the overall image of the physician as well as the practice they represent.
     2. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has begun to offer additional incentives to physicians that are board certified such as an additional .5 percent incentive payment.

     So, if you are a physician debating whether or not to become board certified, our advice is yes, take the test and become board certified. You will open the door to many more professional options concerning where you can practice. You will also give your patients a sense of security knowing you have taken the extra step to make sure you have the knowledge and experience to treat them fully and accurately.

Medical Technology Improves Patient’s Life

     Some discussions in the medical world highlight the fear that medical technologies have the power to make physicians unnecessary. Today’s norm places such high importance on x-rays, scans, and lab tests, which some fear undercuts the education and the skill of physicians which is indispensible in the medical world.

     However, this article reaffirms the need for human interaction. Trevor Prideaux, a 50 year old man from England was born without his left forearm and wears a prosthetic arm. With the help of medical experts, Prideaux became the first patient to have a smartphone dock in his prosthetic arm. Before the smartphone dock was created, Prideaux struggled to balance his smartphone on his prosthetic arm while using one hand to text. Optimal use of smartphones cannot be achieved with one hand. However, modern day simplicities such as texting are now an easy part of Prideaux’s life. He is now able to use his right hand to text, play games, or search the internet while his phone sits securely in its new docking system. As the role of doctor and patient interaction continues to be a topic of heated discussions in the industry, Prideaux’s story reminds us that the innovation that only doctors can bring to healthcare is needed to positively impact patients.

     Prideaux hopes this revolutionary medical technology will aid the life of other patients with prosthetic limbs.

Emergency Medicine Physicians and Medical Liability Reform

According to an article from Kaiser Health News, the number of emergency room visits rose by about ten percent, or 13 million visits, to more than 136 million visits in 2009. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates this to be the largest increase ever. One factor contributing to this increase has to do with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act passed in 1986. This act requires hospitals to provide emergency services to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay for medical services rendered. The law, in and of itself, has driven up the number of patients seeking out emergency rooms and thus the number of overcrowded emergency departments in the nation. Another concern for emergency physicians comes from the Affordable Care Act which will require hospitals to reduce their readmittance rates by coordinating care or be financially penalized. This means physicians will be pressured by hospitals not to admit patients who cannot pay because the hospital will not receive payment from those patients. On the other hand, physicians will also feel pressure from their own conscience, from the family members of patients unable to pay, and from the continual specter of lawsuits.

All of these factors have led some emergency room physicians to focus on a possible means to reduce the nation’s health care costs—medical liability reform which they believe will discourage defensive medicine practice. One of the issues being discussed at the annual American College of Emergency Physicians conference this week is how many emergency physicians would like reform that would include indemnification based on recognized guidelines, caps on non-economic damages, and medical courts where providers would be judged by their medical peers. One important piece of evidence against medical liability reform is a study showing the number of congestive heart failure patients discharged from the emergency department dropped by sixty-three percent between 2006 and 2010 likely due to an increase in concerns about medical malpractice litigation.

What are your thoughts regarding medical liability reform?

5 Best and Worst States to Practice Medicine

The Best States to Practice Medicine:                   The Worst States to Practice Medicine:

5.) Georgia                                                             5.) Rhode Island

4.) Texas                                                                4.) Connecticut

3.) Arkansas                                                          3.) New York

2.) Mississippi                                                        2.) Maryland

1.) Oklahoma                                                         1.) District of Columbia

          Based on four separate criteria, and with the help of “Physicians Practice,” we have compiled a list of the 5 best and worst states in the United States to practice medicine. The factors taken into consideration include the cost of living index, the tax burden per capita, medical board disciplinary actions, and physicians per 1,000 residents, or the amount of competition in that area of the country. The cost of living index is one of the most important factors for some physicians, and on this graph is scaled with zero being the lowest and 16 being the highest. The next factor taken into consideration is the tax burden per capita represented by thousands in the graphs below. For example, Mississippi’s tax burden is $2,678 represented on the graph as 2.678. The third criterion is the disciplinary actions taken by the medical board measured per 1,000 physicians—the lower the number the better it is for physicians. To illustrate, in Maryland, for every 1,000 physicians, there are 2.55 disciplinary actions taken against practicing physicians. Lastly, we took the level of competition into consideration, or the number of physicians present per 1,000 residents in that area. In Texas, for instance, there are just over 2 physicians for every 1,000 residents.   

          The best and worst states to practice in were determined by taking the average of scores of all four categories. For instance, Oklahoma has an average score of 4.8 across all categories, the lowest of all while the District of Columbia has the highest average at 7.67. They are as follows:

Nontraditional Treatment Approach for a Nontradtional Man

     As the news of Steve Jobs’ passing continues to be a trending topic worldwide, it also brings attention to his health issue.  The co-founder of Apple, Inc. was the visionary behind many technological devices we use daily: the personal computer, the iPhone, the iPad.  While Jobs created a larger than life Apple empire, he maintained a low profile concerning his fight against pancreatic cancer.  In 2003, he was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer.  Known for his nontraditional style business, Jobs approached his cancer treatment similarly.  

Image: FreeDigitalPhotos.net

     

     Jobs had a neuroendocrine tumor in his pancreas.  Neuroendocrine tumors are uncommon, with new cases occurring in no more than five people in every 100,000 each year.  In 2009, he received a liver transplant.  Research has shown that a liver transplant can prolong the life of those with his rare form of pancreatic cancer.  However, the research regarding this treatment is still being developed.  Patients who take this progressive approach to pancreatic cancer, risk many complications according to Simon Lo, director of endoscopy at Cedars-SinaiMedical Center in Los Angeles.  New medications were cleared in the U.S. this year to treat this aggressive cancer.

      

     What do you all think about Steve Jobs and his personal fight against cancer? Do you wish he would have shared more of his illness with the public, or do you think the revelation of Steve Jobs’ battle with cancer would have hurt the success of Apple, Inc.?
