The conversation about health care reform has lead all of us to ask the question: how much will this cost? It is a very important questi...
The major problem with healthcare reform right now is that it is being planned by people with little or no knowledge of the healthcare system. They only know for sure that they won't give up their system for the one they are designing. These peopl...
For those of us in the business of healthcare, who track developments and trends in clinical practice, technology development and other areas of interest to our clients and vendors, it has become a stunning information landscape littered with the ...
Great blog. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I have been industry for more than 30 years and I am amazed at the distortions and half-truths in this debate. The lies and deliberate fabrications from certain U.S. Senators and a boatload of talk sh...
I agree that extremism on either side of the HC reform debate is a lethal vice that physicians need to point out and that we as healthcare leaders need to help our elected representives chart a course toward affordable quality health care.

Human capital strategy is often considered to be a process that consists of many parts that operate separately. Why this is a practical way to get certain things accomplished or checked off of a list, it is not a strategy.

Everyone's at Fault-Everybody's at Risk
In the healthcare insurance and healthcare reform debate (I consider the financial side a part of overall reform, but it is not the complete picture of reform) there are obviously sides that have been taken.
On one side is the "'we need universal healthcare', 'we need a so-called 'public option'; 'healthcare is a right not a privilege', 'those bad health insurance companies are bringing us all down,'" contingency. You are familiar with this side or you subscribe (at least in part) to it so you… Continue

Parrots and Protectionism: Healthcare Reform and American Society
"Most people would rather die than think; in fact, most do so"
Bertrand Russell
Critical is not something that my closest friends would consider me. Today I will contradict that sentiment.
The realities of healthcare reform are still not clear to most Americans. While the factions that have emerged from each pole from Universal Coverage to Anti-Reform (aka "keep things like they are they are good/comfortable for ME right now") the clarity on either side and even for those who des… Continue

Culture and Quality IV
A couple months ago I began writing a series that I entitled Culture and Quality. As the conversation has evolved a new model has emerged. We have entitled it the: Diversity HealthWorks' Cultural Competence-Quality Framework for Healthcare Excellence.
The premise of the model is based on what we have seen over the past year in the diversity dialogue in all industries including healthcare: contraction and a general lack of cohesion about the future of what diversity and inclusion c… Continue

Health Disparities are Quality Disparities
The 2008 National Healthcare Quality Report and the National Healthcare Disparities Report from the Agency for Health Research and Quality were and are generally published each year at the same time.
This is very much appropriate, but it is hard to know if people are making the connection between the two reports. If we have health and/or healthcare disparities, particularly in the sense that with most things equal (SES, acces… Continue

I Determine What is Relevant
Since May 11th and the President's remarks on May 11th about reforming the healthcare reform, I thought that I needed to write something in context about cultural competency and quality or at the least give my perspective on how health disparities have to be considered if we are going to make any sustainable change in healthcare as a whole.
I pondered what to wr… Continue
