Conclusion In closing, our patient’s episode of TGA combined with her emotional and perceptual response lends credence to the proposal of a “fear/paranoia” circuit in the genesis of paranoid delusions—a circuit incorporating amygdala, frontal, and parietal cortices. Here, neutral or irrelevant stimuli, thoughts, and percepts come to engender fear and anxiety, while dysfunction in frontoparietal circuitry engenders inappropriate social predictions and maladaptive inferences about the intentions of others.[54] Hippocampus relays information about contextual information based on past experiences and the current situat...

Clinical Performance Measures that Matter —Are You Ready?
Conclusion The future will belong to those who can prove value. The use of a clinical performance dashboard and comparisons to national data will help to ensure that when the payers come knocking on our doors looking for "proof" that what we do enhances patient care and improves patient outcome, we’ll have an answer! This is the first in a yearlong series of articles developed by the Academy of International Mobile Healthcare Integration (AIMHI).The AIMHI article series is developed in partnership with JEMS to help educate EMS agencies on the hallmarks and attributes of high-performance/high-value EMS system de...
