“Taken together, this work should reinforce to policymakers, hospital leadership, physicians, and patients that any differences between the two U.S. medical school degree programs do not translate to quantifiable differences in the quality of inpatient care delivered by MD and DO physicians and surgeons.” #md #do #medicalschool #education #surgeries #surgicaloutcomes #medicine #health

Communication between patients and physicians makes up one of the most critical pillars of the patient experience in healthcare. This interview from the Cleveland Clinic explores the fascinating practice of medical improvisation, taking techniques and skills from improvisational theater principles and applying them to building stronger relationships between patients and clinicians. The driving force behind improvisation in both theater and medicine is its focus on listening with empathy. When it comes to communicating with patients and educating physicians to communicate better, improvisation prompts clinicians to step away from traditional scripts and instead broaden communication skills by listening and learning in the moment. A few studies support these endeavors, and show that medical improv curriculum positively impacts empathy scores, which in turn has a positive impact on care.

In this Medscape article, our own Errol Ozdalga, MD weighs in on why communicating and connecting with patients is such an important skill for physicians: "I've noticed there are certain types of doctors who are very intelligent but don't have that communication connection with patients," he says. "I teach medical students that it's an art to talk to people, to be sensitive in terms of what you're hearing, and make sure you care about their agenda — not just your own." https://bit.ly/4buVAZO #healthcare #meded #medicine

🌟 Exciting Opportunity for Clinicians! We're thrilled to introduce the 'Quality of Life' Study, which evaluates the real impact of full-mouth rehabilitation treatments on patient well-being. By employing the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP 14), this study aims to uncover measurable improvements in patients' lives post-treatment. 🔍 Who Can Participate? This study is for you if you're a clinician performing full-mouth rehabilitation treatments, either with regular, zygomatic, pterygoid, or nasal implants. We're looking at patient progress post-surgery intervals: 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years. 📈 Why You Should Join: ▪ Personalized Reports: Receive a detailed report on your patient's quality of life improvements for every five patients you enroll. ▪Scientific Collaboration: The study's manuscript will acknowledge all participants submitting at least five patients. Clinicians enrolling the most patients will be recognized as top collaborators in this peer-reviewed study supported by ZAGA Centers. ▪Enhance Patient Care: Contribute to valuable insights that empower and improve patient experience. 👩⚕️👨⚕️ How to Get Involved: Simply fill out the form linked below. You'll then receive detailed instructions via email on enrolling patients and the next steps. We'll handle the rest and update you on your patients' journey throughout the study. Let's make a difference together in patient care and education!🤝 Begin your participation in the 'Quality of Life' Study now: https://bit.ly/48v51XG #qualityoflifestudy #dentalhealth #fullmouthrehabilitation #scientificcollaboration #advancepatientcare #joinnow #patientexperienceimproved #patientexperience #smile24h #zagacenters #patientcare #implantdentistry #patientdentalcare

Too Many Boards: Does HealthCare have too many "college of this" and "Board of that...". I can understand Cardiology [cath labs], Pathology and a few other non-surgical specialities, but it seems every single diagnosis/organ system now as it's own Boards. From Hospitalist [which are Internists], to Palliative [which can be Internists] and now Obesity [which can also be handled by Internists], there is a separate Board exam. What drives this? Surely money drives a big part of this "super-specialization", as each Board costs money. Aside from the cost, this "Board-sponsored super-specialization" environment takes the focus away from the bigger need.....that being training Excellent Primary Care doctors to be exceptional "diagnosticians" who can provide a wider range of care options. Perhaps it is time to change Internal Medicine Residency to 5 years instead of 3...and during that time, train the Residents in a wider scope of didactics, and shift the economics model in favor of Primary Care. Open to opposing arguments...just keep them respectful.

Are There Physician Compensation Gaps Between Academic and Community Physicians In Surgical Specialties? Simply, yes, and faculty will likely become increasingly aware of this. How can leadership prepare for this?

#CIRSEtakeover with Dr. Joo-Young Chun Inpatient ward rounds are the easiest way to begin #ClinicalPractice in IR. Seeing patients on the ward is an important part of daily practice for all IRs and is critical to promoting IR as a clinical specialty. Speaking with anxious patients and concerned relatives is a skill that requires practice, and your communication skills will be tested. Clinical skills of taking a focused history and performing relevant physical examinations also require refinement that will improve with time. It is crucial that IRs are seen in hospital wards, intensive care units and emergency departments. We need to be by the patient’s bedside to understand their clinical status and have meaningful face-to-face discussions with clinicians. We need to be present for clinical decision-making - this is the only way we will be seen as clinicians. Join us at #CIRSE2024 for: ‘Setting up Clinical Services in IR – Open for Business’ session on Tues 17 Sept to hear me speak about ‘Collaborating with other Disciplines’: https://lnkd.in/dhyG58dt Why not watch the #CIRSEwebinar on ‘Get your Clinical Practice up to speed’: https://lnkd.in/d-6NC8Ku #IRgoingClinical #interventionalradiology #IRtrainees #MedEd BSIR - British Society of Interventional Radiology European Trainee Forum (photo - inpatient consultation with a mock patient)

🔍 **Patient-Centric Education in RIRS: Empowering Individuals with Comprehensive Information** 🔍 Innovations in healthcare, like Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS), require more than just medical expertise; they demand informed and empowered patients. At the heart of RIRS lies a patient-centric approach, where individuals are not merely recipients of care but active participants in their health journey. **Understanding the Procedure:** Patients embarking on the RIRS path deserve clarity. From the intricacies of the procedure to potential risks and benefits, comprehensive information is paramount. By understanding what to expect, patients can make informed decisions and feel more in control of their health outcomes. **Empowerment through Knowledge:** Education is power. By providing patients with detailed insights into RIRS, including alternative treatments and post-operative care, healthcare providers empower individuals to actively engage in their treatment plans. This fosters a sense of ownership over one's health and promotes better adherence to medical recommendations. **Building Trust and Confidence:** Transparent communication builds trust. When patients feel heard and respected, they are more likely to trust their healthcare providers and adhere to treatment plans. This trust forms the foundation of a strong patient-provider relationship, essential for successful healthcare outcomes. In embracing patient-centric education in RIRS, we empower individuals to navigate their healthcare journey with confidence and resilience. Let's prioritize comprehensive information and collaborative decision-making to ensure the best possible outcomes for all. #PatientEmpowerment #HealthcareInnovation #RIRS
