patient care

We hope you got a chance to attend portions of the Quality Conference. We were in bargaining but have spent some time listening to several of the sessions that are available on-line  through September. It is worth listening to them. One presentation stands out: the Woodland Hills Infusion Center UBT. What an impressive team with some outstanding results!

The latest headlines from the world of health care can be depressing.  Increases in morbid obesity amongst our children, adult onset diabetes, lung cancer and asthma are on the rise along with a ballooning, aging population.

Headlines decrying drastic cuts to public health services and Medicare and Social Security funds blare at us.

Here’s something really scary: predictions of decreases in numbers of skilled health care workers are already coming to pass. We are seeing fewer and fewer medical students picking primary care as their field of choice.
