In today’s healthcare landscape, the shift to value-based care and expanding requirements from the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) have magnified the importance of language access.

Q & A With Dylan Burnette: Muscle Cells, Cell Movement, and Microscopy
Courtesy of Dr. Dylan Burnette.
“We scientists know very little of what can be known—I find that invigorating,” says Dylan Burnette, Ph.D., an associate professor of cell and developmental biology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee. “Most people find it exhausting, but I’m comfortable with not knowing all of biology’s secrets.” In an interview, Dr. Burnette shared his lab’s work on muscle cells, the knowledge he hopes readers take away from his research, and some advice to future scientists about being comfortable being wrong.
Q: How did you first become interested in s...

EarliPoint Evaluation System for ASD Diagnosis: Interview with Tom Ressemann, CEO of EarliTec Dx
EarliTec Dx, a medtech company based in Georgia, has developed the EarliPoint Evaluation System for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This common neurodevelopmental condition is often overlooked in affected children, leading to a lack of early intervention and care. Part of the issue is a lack of access to specialists who can diagnose the condition.
Another issue is the lack of quantitative tools that can assist clinicians in diagnosing ASD, and instead they rely on subjective measurements and observations. The EarliPoint system is hosted on a touchscreen tablet, and involves children observing a video feed of social inte...

Matthew ’s health care tidbits: Time to get Cynical
Each time I send out the THCB Reader, our newsletter that summarizes the best of THCB (Sign up here!) I include a brief tidbits section. Then I had the brainwave to add them to the blog. They’re short and usually not too sweet! –Matthew Holt
Plenty of reason to worry about the future of American health care this week. The biggest for-profit hospital chain–HCA–was accused of aggressively pushing patients into hospice care, sometimes in the same room, in order to make their hospitality mortality numbers look better. Most of the leading benefits consulting companies were exposed as taking payments from PB...

Shape of the Earth: Views Differ
A newly elected Republican district chair in Georgia wants to tell you aboutthe most pernicious and widespread conspiracy on, well, earth:
In an interview with David Weiss (AKA “Flat Earth
Dave ”) and Matt Long on her “Jesus, Guns, and Babies” podcast, Taylor
and her guests discussed biblical “evidence” that the Earth is actually
flat as a pancake. “The people that defend the globe don’t know anything
about the globe,” said Weiss. “If they knew a tenth of what Matt and I
know about the globe they would be Flat Earthers.” “All the globes, everywhere” Taylor said later in the discussion. ...
