Consultant Conundrums
Im all about teamwork… was military, and D1 wrestler before my days of medical school etc. so I always try to place nice in the sandbox… but what’s peoples limits on when enough is enough in regards to consults and documenting their incompetencies or lack of teamwork in your note!!!

Any potential in this idea?
No idea if this is the appropriate place for this but....
What about the idea of using a node-to-node correlation between PET/CT and pretreatment planning CT to optimize CT criteria for detecting nodal metastasis for sites (middle-cinome/lower income countries/rural areas/etc) without access to PET. The CT scans are based on pretreatment planning CT. Basically, using the observation that the standard 10 mm short-axis cutoff has a horrible sensitivity for the nodal stations (with regards to...

Peer to peer for MRIs
I have noticed a trend over the past couple months that has me suspicious.
I have had 3 lumbar MRIs and a few CT scans to R/O badness come up with a peer to peer requests before approval. Granted, this is not unusual, however for this carrier (BCBS), I typically NEVER have to go through this process. Also, these are the first requests for a P2P that I've received all year, and they have all come in the last few months of the year. Has anyone else noticed a similar trend?
Is there a...

Measuring Quality for ED Doc pay
Another question about ED doc pay.
Any of you guys and gals at your work have, as part of your compensation package, a component tied into the nebulous concept of "quality"?
It can come via any number of mechanisms, some fair and some not fair (i'm just tossing some out there)
- press gainey scores
- door-to-doc time
- 48 hr return rate
- CT scans ordered
- narcotics given
- Narcotic Rx given
- patient satisfaction
I know some of these are not based on quality. I'm just trying to get a...
