Book Description
The Hospital Executive's Guide to Physician Staffing Hugo J. Finarelli, Jr., PhD How many physicians make a health system? The Hospital Executive's Guide to Physician Staffing helps hospital CEOs answer a question that healthcare analysts and policymakers have debated for nearly 30 years: How many physicians do you need? The Hospital Executive's Guide to Physician Staffing challenges accepted beliefs and practices about the science of physician staffing. Insightful and data-rich, this unique resource guides hospital executives in creating a staffing model for physician services by outlining proven strategies for determining community physician need and fulfilling those needs appropriately. This timely and informative book presents practical approaches for engaging different types of physicians--the hospital dependent, hospital independent, and full-time office-based--in various markets, including those facing a shortage and rural communities. Complete with benchmarking tables and other resources, The Hospital Executive's Guide to Physician Staffing includes sections on: Physician supply and demand--a macro view Assessing physician need Measuring physician contribution How many physicians make a health system Recruitment and retention strategies The executive's role in recruitment Planning for an uncertain future Build a quality organization, and the doctors will come Central to the underlying philosophy of the book is the notion that hospitals must "attract the best by being the best" and includes strategies executives can use in achieving that goal.

Financing Graduate Medical Education in a Changing Health Care Environment
Author: Research Training in Psychiatry Residency
Author: Institute of MedicinePublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309090717
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
The number of psychiatric researchers does not seem to be keeping pace with the needs and opportunities that exist in brain and behavioral medicine. An Institute of Medicine committee conducted a broad review of the state of patient-oriented research training in the context of the psychiatry residency and considered the obstacles to such training and strategies for overcoming those obstacles. Careful consideration was given to the demands of clinical training. The committee concluded that barriers to research training span three categories: regulatory, institutional, and personal factors. Recommendations to address these issues are presented in the committee's report, including calling for research literacy requirements and research training curricula tailored to psychiatry residency programs of various sizes. The roles of senior investigators and departmental leadership are emphasized in the report, as is the importance of longitudinal training (e.g., from medical school through residency and fellowship). As there appears to be great interest among numerous stakeholders and a need for better tracking data, an overarching recommendation calls for the establishment of a national body to coordinate and evaluate the progress of research training in psychiatry.

Poverty and the Myths of Health Care Reform
Author: Richard (Buz) CooperPublisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421420236
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Proof that high health care spending is linked directly to poverty. In Poverty and the Myths of Health Care Reform, Dr. Richard (Buz) Cooper argues that US poverty and high health care spending are inextricably entwined. Our nation's health care system bears a financial burden that is greater than in any other developed country in large part because impoverished patients use more health care, driving up costs across the board. Drawing on decades of research, Dr. Cooper illuminates the geographic patterns of poverty, wealth, and health care utilization that exist across neighborhoods, regions, and states—and among countries. He chronicles the historical threads that have led to such differences, examines the approaches that have been taken to combat poverty throughout US history, and analyzes the impact that structural changes now envisioned for clinical practice are likely to have. His research reveals that ignoring the impact of low income on health care utilization while blaming rising costs on waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary care has led policy makers to reshape clinical practice in ways that impede providers who care for the poor. The first book to address the fundamental nexus that binds poverty and income inequality to soaring health care utilization and spending, Poverty and the Myths of Health Care Reform is a must-read for medical professionals, public health scholars, politicians, and anyone concerned with the heavy burden of inequality on the health of Americans.

A Methodology for Evaluating Air Force Physicians' Peacetime and Wartime Capabilities
Author: Joan BuchananPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medicine, Military
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
This report documents a methodology for analyzing problems incurred in planning an Air Force Medical Service serving complementary and conflicting functions. The Note describes a mathematical programming model called the physician workforce design model, which complementes the Provider Requirements Integrated Speciality Model (PRISM) developed by the Air Force. The model and methodology identifies and compares options for improving the wartime capabilities of active duty physicians without compromising the peacetime delivery of health care. By pursuing the more promising options, the Air Force can improve its readiness to respond in a sudden conflict within the constraints of a workable peacetime health care system. The Note describes the dual purpose workforce design model, the wartime capability assessment model, and defines the workforce model inputs.
