REALISTIC MEDICINE: TAKING CARE - Can design approaches help? Last week Sir Gregor Smith, Chief Medical Officer for Scotland launched his annual report ‘REALISTIC MEDICINE: TAKING CARE’. This report: ‘challenges our concept of how we think of care, and urges us to resist transactional, industrialised care so that we see each other in full fidelity, biology and biography' Just before the pandemic I co-wrote a paper for the Design Management Institute's Design Management Review with NHS Tayside, ENT Consultant Rodney Mountain. This challenged healthcare’s existing quality improvement paradigm, which is largely focused on concepts of quality improvement that have their origins in engineering and production control. We called the paper ‘DESIGNING REALISTIC HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT’ and described how design can disrupt and augment the current QI paradigm by: -              Putting the patient at the centre of our thinking -              Helping healthcare teams to see the bigger system -              Promoting creativity & innovation -              Building empathy -              Facilitating collaborative thinking If you are interested in how your healthcare team can upskill in design to help deliver on the REALISTIC MEDICINE agenda we have attached a copy of the paper.

If I asked you how to distinguish the best in your industry from the rest, what would you tell me? This question is probably the most important if we’re talking about finding you a physician. When it comes to your health, only the best will do. Here’s what you should look for when finding a best-in-class physician: - They’ve completed outstanding, notable fellowship training in their chosen specialization. - They’ve graduated from a top university and medical program. - They have multiple decades of clinical experience at the world’s leading hospitals and healthcare centers.  - They’re internationally known as leaders in their fields. You’ll know this because they’ve performed groundbreaking research, they’ve spoken and published nationally and internationally in leading medical societies or in top peer-reviewed journals, and their work is often cited. At MD For Patients, this is our criteria for selecting physicians to join our practice.

DPHS PhD student Michelle M Ramirez, PT, DPT, OCS joined her fellow co-speakers to present the education session "This Presentation Is Epic: Leveraging the Electronic Health Record for Value-Based Care That Clinicians Can Embrace" at the American Physical Therapy Association's recent annual Combined Sections Meeting in Washington, D.C. The presentation highlighted opportunities to leverage electronic health records (EHR) to deliver value-based, patient-centered care. The team discussed strategies to overcome obstacles, develop customized EHR templates, and use clinical decision support tools to guide decision-making, enhance efficiency, improve quality, and measure patient outcomes.
