Telehealth Took Off During the Pandemic. Now, Battles Over State Lines and Licensing Threaten Patients ’ Options
Televisits for medical care took off during the worst days of the pandemic, quickly becoming commonplace. Throughout, it’s probably seemed like it doesn’t matter what state the provider of these telehealth services is located. But that’s only because most states, along with the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, temporarily waived rules requiring licensed clinicians to hold a valid license in the state where their patient is located. Now states are rolling back many of those pandemic workarounds—meaning the ability to conduct certain virtual appointments may be nearing an end. Johns ...

6 steps to ensure patients don’t miss chronic or preventive care
Panel management, or population health management, equips physicians and their teams with techniques to monitor their patient populations so they can provide necessary preventive and chronic care to all patients, regardless of their visit frequency. “Population health management, I think, is best used to identify opportunities and then you know where to put your efforts to develop different policies, or different patient flows or different visit frequencies to close those gaps and provide better care,” said Wisconsin internal medicine physician Richard Fossen, MD. “Maybe it’s a provider who has a large diabe...

Surgical resection, radiotherapy and percutaneous thermal ablation for treatment of stage 1 non-small cell lung cancer: protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Introduction Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) makes up the majority of lung cancer cases. Currently, surgical resection is the gold standard of treatment. However, as patients are becoming medically more complex presenting with advanced disease, minimally invasive image-guided percutaneous ablations are gaining popularity. Therefore, comparison of surgical, ablative and second-line external beam therapies will help clinicians, as management of NSCLC changes. We will conduct a meta-analysis, reviewing literature investigating these therapies in adult patients diagnosed with stage 1 NSCLC, with neither hilar nor mediastina...

This study investigated the utility of online CME for emergency physicians in Nova Scotia. Early outcomes of arthroplasty of the first carpometacarpal joint using pyrocarbon spherical implantsGiven its workload, the first carpometacarpal joint is the most common hand joint to develop osteoarthritis. When nonsurgical, conservative treatment options fail, surgical management is warranted. Although several surgical procedures are available, hand surgeons are revisiting implant arthroplasty despite the absence of an ideal implant design and material. The physical and biological properties of pyrocarbon, however, have recently ...
