Oregon PCMH Saved 240 Million But Spent Over 250 Million

Resim
The latest headlines spout 250 million saved for Oregon in the movement to Primary Care Medical Home. Claims of savings often fail to consider the additional costs of an intervention or the supplemental government or foundation funding required. Based on $105,000 additional cost per primary care physician per year the following table demonstrates $250 million to 1 billion dollars more in cost for primary care medical home across Oregon. It is important to consider not just the savings, but also the higher costs of new models. Specifics are not given but the impact of the primary care medical home can be estimated across the number of clinics that could participate and the doctors per clinic over a 2 or 3 year period. The number of doctors may be small compared to actual. The high and low levels are shown along with a possible average cost. If studies involved less than 2 years they should not have gained print. The limitations in new studies with new measurements as measured and analy...

Critical findings in Imaging – Policy and procedure

Imaging and Medical laboratory frequently come across critical results or finding of a patient’s diagnostic tests which requires immediate intervention from the doctor to bring the patient out of the criticality. Hence, a hospital must have a policy and procedure in place for identification and quick communication of such results.

To be able to do so, a hospital needs to have a well-developed process of ‘identification and urgent communication of critical findings in Imaging’. Such process should be able to achieve foll...

Antibiotic Policy

Emergence of antibiotic resistance in pathogens is a global threat to human health and a matter of grave public health concern. Resistance of micro-organisms towards an antibiotic renders it ineffective in curing any disease caused by those organisms. Some micro-organisms develops resistance to a wide range of antibiotics including even to newer and more potent antibiotics such as Carbapenems, making treatment of patient difficult, costly and sometimes impossible.   Due to this antibiotic resistant micro-organisms leads to increased mortality, morbidity and healthcare costs.   A major reason of emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of micro-organism is indiscriminate and irrational use of antibiotics. It is estimated 50% of antibiotic usage in Indian hospitals are inappropriate and irrational. Hence, there is an urgent need that hospitals formulate and implement appropriate Antibiotic Policy that ensures rational use of antibiotics and prevent any indiscriminate use. ...
