The Financialized Medical Center - Executives of Non-Profit Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Make an "Investor Call," but Have no Investors
We recently discussed the uncomfortable situation of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, the non-profit health system/ academic medical center of Wake Forest School of Medicine. The organization suffered acute monetary losses after a problem plagued roll out of its new electronic health record. Presiding over this mess were some extremely well paid executives who had been hailed as "visionaries" by their own public relations people. (Look here and here.)An Even Bigger Financial Loss The resourceful Richard Craver, writing in the Winston-Salem Journal, just documented that the financial losses due to this cybern...

Executive Compensation as "Legal Corruption" - and the Continuing Example of the Troubles of Wake Forest Baptist
Conclusion So let me conclude with Prof Mintzer's conclusion,All this compensation madness is not about markets or talents or incentives, but rather about insiders hijacking established institutions for their personal benefit.Too many large corporations today are starved for leadership—true leadership, meaning engaged leadership embedded in concerned management. And the global economy desperately needs renewed enterprise, embedded in the belief that companies are communities. Getting rid of executive bonuses, and the gambling games that accompany them, is the place to start. (Source: Health Care Renewal)

Revealed Government Documents Show Vaccine Injured Children in Small African Village Used Like Lab Rats
Conclusion
The parents’ requests are simple and the same as any other parent left in this impossible situation. They feel deserted and betrayed by the Chadian government, who have left their children to die, while at the same time announcing the vaccination program to be a success. All the parents are very angry and are pleading with the world to help. They state they need lawyers, doctors, medication and above all, support.
This whole debacle has been a coverup from the very beginning. One of the children’s relatives has told me that there has never been a case of meningitis in this part of Africa. So, why vaccina...

There are a handful of ways care providers can choose to interface, or connect, to external health organizations, be they a member of the local medical community or an official health information exchange (HIE) organization. Formal HIEs are gaining steam thanks to maturity and providers’ motivation to meet Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements, but the active process of exchanging health information – the verb, not the noun – has been th...

The Most Dangerous Greeting Your Child May Ever Receive
Conclusion
What appeared at first glance to be an act of charity on behalf of Hallmark Cards now appears to be something far more sinister. Hallmark Cards is doing more than making a tax-deductible donation to the government. In addition to recommending that parents keep up to date with their children’s vaccine schedules (because the corporate leaders will profit from increased vaccination rates), they are also heavily linked to the testing of vaccines on innocent animals and humans.
Once highly regarded as an organization of love and caring, Hallmark Cards now has tarnished its trademark crown with what can only be ...
