Putting the ‘value’ in value-based payments
By JOSH SEIDMAN
Like Matthew Holt, I have also been ranting about the fact that “We’re spending way too much money on stuff that is the wrong thing.” As Matthew said, “it’s a rant, but a rant with a point!” And that’s a lot better than most rants these days. In addition to having a point, I’m also bringing a lot of data to my rant.
More specifically, we’ve known for a long time that clinical care only drives 20% (maybe less) of health outcomes, yet we continue to spend more and more on it.
We do that despite the well-documented fact that the U.S. performs worse than most OECD countries despite sp...

Are hospital CEOs overpaid? One lawyer ’ s skeptical take on executive compensation.
As somebody who has reviewed physician employment agreements for 40 years or so, I have to admit I am more than a little jaundiced when it comes to the subject of hospital executive compensation. I’m not altogether convinced that one health system CEO really “earned” the $35.5 million he was reported to have been paid

What is the correlation between number of doctors in a society & health of population ?
This query is lingering ever since I entered the medical profession. Though, this question might appear absurd , no correct answer is found yet .When we search the literature, the relationship between doctors and health can be 1.linear, 2.non linear, and 3. even inverse . 1 & 2 are ok 3 is forbidden.
However, to put it in a nut-shell, healthiness of a society is little to do with Doctor population alone, is well known and I think it needs no proof. The following scattergram gives some idea about the Issue.
Where to get answer for this controversial question ? Great times we are in. We have taught the machine...

Medical care, medical costs
Thanks to
the Affordable Care Act, something like 90% of Americans have some form of
health insurance. Great news! That means we can all afford the medical services
we need and nobody has to go broke because they get sick or are injured in a
car crash or by somebody exercising their Second Amendment rights! Err, no. Sadly
it does not mean that. In the first place, for the 50% of people who get their
insurance through employment, it ’s costing them more and more for the premiums –
by three times the rate of inflation, since 1999. With that, plus
deductibles, copays, and payment denials by in...

Age-Related Changes in the Prefrontal Cortex Associate with Loss of Memory
Researchers here investigate age-related changes correlating with loss of working memory. They work with mice, but produce results that line up with observations made in other species. How neural circuits function is one distinct way of looking at the brain. Like all such approaches, it is challenging to connect it to other distinct views of the aging brain, such as proteomic or transcriptomic or cell behavior or signaling changes, or the accumulation of specific forms of age-related molecular damage. Measuring one aspect of a complex system is one thing, figuring out how many different aspects fit together into a web of i...

The Science of Happiness: Proven Habits for a Fulfilling Life
The majority of Americans are not experiencing much happiness these days. According to a poll, only 19% of the surveyed individuals described themselves as "very happy." Other comparable studies also demonstrated low happiness ratings. While not entirely surprising given the turbulent economy and other concerns, these insights reveal that many people are not reaping the benefits of daily fulfillment.
Happiness has long been associated with numerous personal and familial benefits. When we are happy, we are less likely to be burdened by the devastating effects of stress, such as an increased risk of developing cardiovascu...
