Per the CDC, 11 to 40 percent of Americans struggle with chronic pain. All physicians must treat patients with chronic pain, whether they are spine surgeons or primary care physicians. It is a disease we can not escape.  We do not have a one-time pill to fix chronic pain. Unlike other diseases, we do not Read more… The power of listening: a poem from a chronic pain patient to their doctor originally appeared in KevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

6 Healthcare Examples Of Virtual, Augmented And Mixed Reality
Lately, there has been a tendency in the tech world to adopt “new” realities in their midst. Meta has a branch dedicated to developing virtual reality (VR) hardware and software; earlier this year HTC unveiled its new augmented reality (AR) glasses; while Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch a mixed reality (MR) headset.  Collectively, VR, AR and MR fall under the umbrella term of extended reality (XR), which analysts believe holds the potential to be the next major computing platform. Such potentials have spillover effects into the medical field through digital health approaches, and healthcare practice is...

Lessons From a Ransomware Attack: The Importance of Partnership & Collaboration
The following is a guest article by John Gaede, Director of Information Systems at Sky Lakes Medical Center. Imagine a rural business is the victim of a cyberattack. A nefarious person or group convinces an unsuspecting employee to open an email promising a bonus. Within 12 hours, every piece of technology connected to that network, and every process needed to conduct daily operations, is paralyzed.  Now imagine that business is a hospital. It serves 80,000 people and it’s the only one within 10,000 square miles. Add to the scenario a global pandemic that is steadily ravaging the nation’s healthcare system. On October...

Warren Misses Details on Bank Secrecy Act
ConclusionStopping criminal activity is certainly a  valid pursuit, but the Bank Secrecy Act regime has done, at best, little more than flood law enforcement with millions of unnecessary reports. It is an ineffective and inefficient way to focus resources. Senator Warren closed her argument by reintroducingher bill to expand these reporting requirements and further diminish financial privacy, but it ’s just as flawed now as it was last year.All members of Congress should take careful note of a  letter organized by Fight for the Future earlier this year. In that letter, the group warned: “Should cybercriminals success...

“ N-of-1 ” research – A clinically relevant research strategy!
I’ve been banging on about single case experimental research designs (SCED) ever since I studied with Prof Neville Blampied at University of Canterbury. Prof Blampied (now retired) was enthusiastic about this approach because it allows clinicians to scientifically test whether an intervention has an effect in an individual – but he took it further with a very cool graphical analysis that allows multiple cases to be studied and plotted using the modified Brinley Plot (Blampied, 2017), and I’ll be discussing it later in this series. Suffice to say, I love this approach to research because it allows clinicia...

Three Ways Enterprise Visibility and Automation Benefit Staff and the Patient Experience
The following is a guest article by Scott Hondros, Vice President of Professional Services at CenTrak. It’s often said that necessity is the mother of invention. This theory has been tested within the healthcare industry over the last few years as the COVID-19 pandemic aligned with, and expedited, the retirement of many employees in the Baby Boomer generation. Nearly 29 million Baby Boomers retired in 2020, three and a half million more than in 2019. While their increased retirement has been anticipated, the associated timing compounded staffing challenges within the healthcare industry and left leadership seeking soluti...

Comments to USTR Show the Real ‐​World Harms of the Trump‐​Biden China Tariffs
Clark Packard and Alfredo Carrillo ObregonIn recent weeks, about 1,500 comments were filed with the United States Trade Representative (USTR) concerning the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration —and maintained by the Biden administration—on imports from China as a result of the recent trade war. The majority of the comments paint a bleak picture: the tariffs have—contrary to unsupported assertions you may have read elsewhere—caused very real pain for domestic firms, their workers, and the U.S. economy. These facts, coupled with the fact that the tariffs have not forced Beijing to change its troublesome econo...

If a rose is a rose by any other name, how should we study treatment processes in pain management & rehabilitation?
A new instalment in my series about intensive longitudinal studies, aka ecological momentary assessment (and a host of other names for methods used to study daily life in real time in the real world). Daily life is the focus of occupational therapy – doing what needs to be done, or a person wants to do, in everyday life. It’s complex because unlike a laboratory (or a large, well-controlled randomised controlled trial) daily life is messy and there is no way to control all the interacting factors that influence why a person does what they do. A technical term for the processes involved is microtemporality, o...
