    About this blog and this blogger

    new to hospitalimpact.org?

    March 31st, 2005

    Never heard of us? Chances are you haven't, since this site was turned on only last week! Hospitalimpact.org was started on March 25, 2005 in Chicago by Tony Chen. We're only 6 days old and it's already been a whirlwind of a time!

    Hospitalimpact.org is the first and only healthcare blog dedicated for current and emerging hospital leaders, thinkers, and enablers. The vision is simple - to answer this question:

    what will it take for hospitals to be the best run organizations on the face of the planet?

    We'll do that from 4 different angles using 4 different blogs. First, get some fresh perspectives on why hospitals are so important. Hospitals are worth fightin' for. If we forget that, we are done. Then, find leadership insights drawn from leaders, thinkers, and organizations inside (and especially outside) of healthcare. And since we don't need to reinvent the wheel, link up to commentary on my favorite resources, books, and websites. Also keep an eye out on the scoop on hospitals. News you can use that signals new trends and opens up new strategies. Of course, you can look at it all together, too.

    Also, occasionally, check out the about blog, where I make observations on healthcare blogging, my life as a hospital blogger, and other random things that come up.

    Feel free to email me with questions, comments, ideas, tips, issues to be addressed, anything at tony[at]hospitalimpact[dot]org

    Hope you enjoy the ride!

    A nice start. I'll be stopping by to learn more and hopefully contribute. One question to get me started: when and how did the modern idea of the hospital emerge?

    Comment from: david leander [Visitor] · http://www.doctorblogger.net, www.doctorsintouch.com
    To Whom It May Concern:

    My name is David Leander and I work for a physician run and owned company called Doctors In Touch (www.doctorsintouch.com). I also run a blog of ours called Doctorblogger (www.doctorblogger.net).

    I'm writing to ask if you will consider linking with either of these two sites, and if approved, I of course will link back.

    I also have another request. I have linked with diabetesmine.com and I sent her our latest book entitled, "Healing Words: the power of apology in medicine" written my Michael Woods, MD, our president and founder, which has become a huge topic in healthcare and she read the book, loved it and posted an op/ed piece about the book, with links to our website to purchase. Politicians in Washington have taken up this debate and are pushing for apology laws. Harvard University's patient safety expert, Dr. Leape is now advocating for physicians to say, "I'm sorry" and are in the beginning process of implementing this policy at their teaching hospitals. I would be willing to send you a free copy of the book, if you in return would be willing to post a book review/op-ed about the book or a brief article with your thoughts on the book and subject. I would be happy to do the same for you, if you have products.

    Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

    Comment from: Jessica C. Umlauf [Visitor] · http://www.collectoru.com
    Six months ago, I was hired fresh out of college (a Penn State Liberal Arts grad) by the CEO of a medical collections agency in Reading, PA called Berks Credit & Collections. I was hired as the Seminar Coordinator for his education division of the company, called Collector University.

    He enabled me to attend many medical association meetings in order to learn more about the medical field, and I have since become very interested in the challenges healthcare faces today. I believe that forums such as this are extremely vital, so that "best in class" practices can be shared amongst medical professionals.

    I recently completed the design of an entirely new website for both Berks Credit and Collector University. On the Berks Credit & Collections website's Links page (www.berkscredit.com), I have created a fairly extensive list of networking and information links. I would like to make this site an addition to that list.

    I would also like to mention that, in the interest of combating "working harder for less" in today's healthcare climate, I am promoting seminars on "Advanced Patient Account Collecting" which are guaranteed to help billing & front desk personnel collect more money in-house. I am happy to try to arrange a free 2.5 hour seminar for your organization, if it possible. Feel free to contact me at jumlauf@collectoru.com or (610) 916-7222, or visit www.collectoru.com if you would like more information on the seminar.

    Thank you,
    Jessica

    I jsut started blogging about the healthcare industry and I am happy to find someone else out there fighting the good fight. Hospitals are worth fighting for and we have alot of work to do both within the industry and in society if we are going to create a healhcare system that works for the vast majority of us.

    congrats on your new site. a great service.

    couldn't help but notice your encouragement of readers to visit the nrc or press-ganey site as related to h-caphs.

    many others, my organization in particular, have been very actice in the development of the hca[hs tool and process. hope this can be attributed to all research companies that are involved in the future.

    I'm just finding this blog. I'm president of a company dedicated to improving quality of care through optimizing hospital's clinical, financial and operational operational processes. Seems simple enough that anyone aware of defects (errors, disconnects, waste) transalting to increased cost, morbidity & mortality would make necessary changes if ALL stakeholders benefited...not so in the opposite world of hospital leadership.
    Glad to be a part of the community and I look forward to interacting with other like minded bloggers.

Hospital.com is a medical publication geared towards offering information on hospitals while also covering other issues within the medical field. We are a member of the AHA (American Hospital Association), and while reviewing medical related websites, I happened to come across your page. I see that you have a number of quality resources on your site, and I was hoping that you'd be able to add Hospital.com as well. Please let me know if you are able to make this addition.

    Let me grind my axe a bit. I hope sites like this will allow for the better servicing of patients and process according to governmental regulations. I was in a local hospital recently (John Muir, Walnut Creek, CA)as I had a friend who had a kidney stone. The hospital was quite, empty and yet he waited a full hour before a doctor came by. It wasn't as if they were busy. He was literally moaning and moaning and it was only that that persuaded doctors to come to him. We ended up staying a full 5 hours for what could've been done in 1 hour at the most. I shudder to think what happens if Obamacare is mandated. Thanks, gr

    It's disheartening to see so much spam here when there are some really good content here. I mean, I'm not against links and even have one below, but many people are not even posting anything even remotely of value.

    The guy who wrote about his friend having a kidney stone and the lackluster care at his local hospital is unfortunately, par for the course. It will get worse if the president will get his health care proposal passed. Heaven forbid.

    Safety Tip

    Hospital facilities built today do not include asbestos, but many older buildings still have asbestos components in them. Steam pipes, boilers and furnace ducts were often insulated with an asbestos blanket or asbestos paper tape because of their fireproof and insulating properties. Resilient floor tiles were made from vinyl asbestos. Asbestos cement was employed in roofing, shingles and siding materials. The hazard of this carcinogen increases when the fibers become airborne, and untrained contractors can inadvertently increase risks by cutting, tearing, sawing, scraping, or sanding asbestos materials. Elevated asbestos levels can occur in hospitals where old materials are damaged or disturbed. It is best to leave undamaged asbestos material alone if it is not likely to be disturbed. Inhaling asbestos fibers is known to cause mesothelioma and other diseases. Be sure to use an experienced asbestos removal contractor when you need to get rid of old materials that might contain asbestos.
