Quality Improvement Metrics and Methods for Neurohospitalists
Measurement of clinical performance is largely driven by the requirements of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and accrediting bodies like The Joint Commission. Performance measures include length of stay, readmission rate, mortality rate, hospital-acquired complications, and stroke core measures. Hospital rankings also depend heavily on quality and patient safety indicators. Becoming facile with these measures can aid neurohospitalists in understanding their value and garnering resources to support improvement projects. Neurohospitalists can apply a structured A3-based method to define a clinical problem, per...

Rules of engagement: The delicate dance between vascular surgeons, industrial partners, and patient outcomes
In 1953, Michael E. DeBakey performed the first carotid endarterectomy successfully. It would be almost 60 years until a new technique disrupted the carotid world with as much furor. In 2012, transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) burst onto the scene. With its minimally invasive, hybrid appeal and equivalency to carotid endarterectomy stroke risk, TCAR quickly won the hearts of many vascular sur geons. The update of TCAR technology was rapid, increasing dramatically at 15% annually, with a real jolt coming in 2016 when the Centers for Medicare& Medicaid Services allowed coverage for TCAR under the existing nationa...

2022 Alzheimer's disease facts and figures
This article describes the public health impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including incidence and prevalence, mortality and morbidity, use and costs of care, and the overall impact on family caregivers, the dementia workforce and society. The Special Report discusses consumers' and primary care physicians' perspectives on awareness, diagnosis and treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), including MCI due to Alzheimer's disease. An estimated 6.5 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today. This number could grow to 13.8 million by 2060 barring the development of medical breakthrough...

Impact of risk factor control on peripheral artery disease outcomes and health disparities
CONCLUSIONS: risk factor control is poor among patients with PAD. Significant disparities in achieving optimal risk factor control represent a potential target for reducing inequities in outcomes.PMID:35387516 | DOI:10.1177/1358863X221084360

Why Acupuncture Is Going Mainstream in Medicine
When the opioid addiction crisis began to surge in the U.S. about a decade ago, Dr. Medhat Mikhael spent a lot of time talking to his patients about other ways to heal pain besides opioids, from other types of medications to alternative treatments.
As a pain management specialist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., he didn’t anticipate leaving behind the short-term use of opioids altogether, since they work so well for post-surgical pain. But he wanted to recommend a remedy that was safer and still effective.
That turned out to be acupuncture.
“Like any treatment, acupuncture...
