ANA, ENA & ACEP Sound the Alarm on Violence Against Nurses
Sounding the alarm (again), or making it a federal crime to assault a health care facility employee isn’t addressing anything. Emergency rooms are the dumping ground for psychological and drug-related issues not addressed by the criminal justice system or the state’s responsibilities in mental health care. Most violence in the ED doesn’t meet with any corrective behavior, except “sedate and discharge”. Three-quarters of the incidents happen in the ED, and a majority of the offenders should have already been in the care of the poorly funded criminal justice or mental health systems. Violent people are being dropped into hospitals that are ill-equipped to deal with them. Anyway, rant over.

NBME Acquires MedVR EducationThat’s kind of interesting. There’s the usual stuff about “harnessing the power of virtual reality and simulation technology” and “new paradigms in education”, but the salient facet is “new methods of assessment”. We’re wondering if they have a pathway to implementation of simulation in licensing assessment. NBME Acquires MedVR Education: A Leap Forward in Medical Education
Why the Tech Industry Won’t Disrupt Health CareYou see a lot of attempts to pull the healthcare consumer out of the existing healthcare system (or at least the profitable bits of the consumer). Direct marketing by pharmaceuticals, attempts to interrupt prescription-writing by giants like Amazon, even Walmart as a primary care provider. But healthcare systems are going to go the way of book publishers or video stores. Healthcare is too fragmented, diffuse, and broad to target effectively. Which doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to change, just that physicians and clinicians have a serious incumbent advantage if they really want to transition the business to continuous care.
