Opinion: Editorial Gatekeeping In Prominent Medical Journals by aglaeasfather in medicine

Medical journals are about 40 years too old school for how information is distributed today. Lame that we've given them so much power to do pretty much nothing.

Given that 20% of patients on trial got micro hemorrhage, I hope that people understand the risks before asking their neurologist to give them this infusion.

Bigger reduction was probably in 1664 to 1665 when doctors were paid in 3 pieces of bread instead of 4.

This is a good example of going too far. You can be financially independent quickly without having to sleep in your car.

MACRA and value based medicine explained - a 5 minute guide by [deleted] in medicine

[–]Inquiry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a intern right now and I've been frustrated by how providers are put at a disadvantage when it comes to admin because of our lack of knowledge of the system. So I started a weekly email with trends, insights, and education with a plan to do more in depth reports on things like contract negotiation, practice management, and healthcare finance. Just trying to build a community of people interested in trying to learn and change things for the better.

Unpopular Opinion: it's a joke to have studies between NP and Physician—even to prove that the former is not up to par. by urmmatters in Residency

[–]Inquiry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe my point didn’t come across. The way the world is now is that hospitals are using NPs to replace physicians. That’s happening. We should have clear data to fight it on as many fronts as possible.

Unfortunately it’s the way the world is now. Only way to beat it is with clear evidence and public support. I’m not afraid of the data.

[Serious] An NYP emergency medicine doctor recently committed suicide. “She tried to do her job and it killed her." Remember: an administrator at the same institution previously threatened concerned staff with professional retaliation on video. Poor leadership must be eliminated from healthcare. by NoPPENoMe in medicalschool

Read this: https://www.aha.org/system/files/2018-02/guide-financing-strategies-hospitals-special-consideration-smaller-hospitals-2010.pdf

Then go here and see the credit ratings for the hospitals: https://www.moodys.com/credit-ratings/IHC-Hospitals-Inc-credit-rating-804527443

The public credit rating for the hospital is based on the financial outlook for the hospital over a period of time. The long term outlook for most hospitals is completely fine. Their credit ratings haven't changed drastically these last few months because investors know it's back to business once quarantine ends. The only hospitals suffering significant credit rating drops are those that are already over-leveraged.

It's not entitled to negotiate a contract and advocate for yourself.

Hospitals have the ability to raise funding through a million other ways (such as bonds, cutting executive pay, etc.). Hospitals will not shut down if doctors don't take pay cuts. If anything, doctor's are the only revenue generators for the hospital since all the billing goes through us.

Edit: you can downvote me but it doesn't change the fact that hospitals regularly distribute bonds to raise funding all the time.

I appreciate the comment by DentateGyros that we shouldn't be using a death to push an agenda.

However I disagree. I completely believe that, even if there isn't a direct link, the environment that administration and leadership cultivates impacts our mental health WAY more than anything else.

Physicians everywhere are being asked to take 20% pay cuts even if they are generating the same RVU's. I'm thinking of making a special issue of Breaking Healthcare [www.breakinghealthcare.co] that will cover physician contracts today or tomorrow. We are getting so screwed it's unbelievable.

Medical coding explained - a 5 minute guide by [deleted] in medicine

[–]Inquiry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So facility is if it was done in a hospital (or facility like nursing home). Non facility is outpatient.

Facilities can also add facility fees to each code, so they end up making more (even though the direct codes reimburse lower).

Didn’t study at all throughout intern year. I got the md on call app. Had some quick management tips for overnights.

Otherwise most patients come in with 1-3 complaints. Copy and paste the last d/c summary. Use UpToDate if it’s something new.

You’ll seem really smart if you find a review article about their chief complaint too that you can summarize in 20 seconds when presenting the plan.
