What is the Point?
At the ME-P, we love to educate and learn. So, here they are in brief.
In the Beginning
St. Patrick’s Day started out as a religious feast holiday celebrating the life of St. Patrick, a Christian missionary from Britain who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland.
And Today
Now, it’s a hodgepodge of non-religious celebrations of Irish culture, folklore and superstition. Oh, and let’s not forget [responsible] drinking.
Assessment
At the very least, you’re supposed to wear green, the national color of Ireland. If you want to get more involved, you could join one of hundreds of parades nationwide. The largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the world is in New York City, with 150,000 marchers in a typical year. Other popular activities involve dyeing things green … everything from pancakes and beer to the Chicago River and the White House fountain.
But not this Corona Virus Year!

Dear Medical Executive-Post Reader,
With Thanksgiving 2019 upon us and the end of the year just ahead, we hope the ME-P can count on your support to continue providing innovative news, comments and expert insights for the integrated industries and interests we serve.
A Blessing?
But, why do we think you should count ME-P among this year’s blessings?
As always, it’s because of the impact of our work.
Examples:
For example, just last week we saw that impact on healthcare insurance reform from the ACA’s presidential election – to tax planning for doctors from our accountants and financial advisors – to behavioral economics, investing, retirement and estate planning – to eMRs and health information technology – and to the scheduling of more topic channels and many exciting new medical practice management and enhancement features and functions for the coming New Year 2016.
Audio Educator: http://www.audioeducator.com/hospitals-and-health-systems/business-plan-for-medical-practice-013012.html
Much of this would not have been created and disseminated without the Medical Executive-Post.
Oh; and let’s not forget our career and unique job alerts, too! This is where the ME-P makes a real difference.
The Road Ahead for 2020
Looking ahead, the hubbub of campaigning has fallen silent (at least for a few days) as our focus turns to health policy, financial leadership and governing — and to the need to hold accountable all doctors and patients, financial advisors and clients, and those we have just elected.
In short, the ME-P constituency!
Giving
So, please take a moment over the holiday ahead to donate. We can have real impact, but it takes money, and we need your help.
Donate to Support Independent ME-P Journalism

And … the Worst States
By Ann Miller RN MHA
[Executive-Director]
Doctors love to drive. Nurses and medical professionals love to drive. We all love to drive!
But, what makes a state a great place for driving this Memorial Day weekend, 2021; especially post the corona pandemic? Is it higher gas prices, or fewer fellow travelers on the road? Or, is it higher speed limits–whether it’s on your way to a destination, or purely for the enjoyment of driving?
And, what makes other states among the worst places to drive?
We Want You to Know
Fear not! The ME-P and CarConnection looked at five sets of data to choose our best and worst states for driving. We selected the most recent data available from a range of sources–some neutral, some not so neutral. It was normalized so that it represented a percentage of change from the average, and added up the scores to determine which states earned the lowest total. The factors considered included the following.

What It Is … and Why?
[By Staff Reporters]
History
IWD is now an official holiday in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, China (for women only), Cuba, Georgia, Guinea-Bissau, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Madagascar (for women only), Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Nepal (for women only), Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Zambia.
The tradition sees men honoring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, etc with flowers and small gifts.
In some countries IWD has the equivalent status of Mother’s Day where children give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers.
The Millennium
The new millennium has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women’s and society’s thoughts about women’s equality and emancipation.
Many from a younger generation feel that ‘all the battles have been won for women’ while many feminists from the 1970’s know only too well the longevity and ingrained complexity of patriarchy. With more women in the boardroom, greater equality in legislative rights, and an increased critical mass of women’s visibility as impressive role models in every aspect of life, one could think that women have gained true equality.
The unfortunate fact is that women are still not paid equally to that of their male counterparts, women still are not present in equal numbers in business or politics, and globally women’s education, health and the violence against them is worse than that of men.
Celebrating the Positives
However, great improvements have been made. We do have female astronauts and prime ministers, school girls are welcomed into university, women can work and have a family, women have real choices. And so, the tone and nature of IWD has, for the past few years, moved from being a reminder about the negatives to a celebration of the positives.
Annually on 8th March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women’s craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more.
Global Reach
Many global corporations have also started to more actively support IWD by running their own internal events and through supporting external ones. For example, on 8 March search engine and media giant Google some years even changes its logo on its global search pages. Year on year IWD is certainly increasing in status.
The United States even designates the whole month of March as ‘Women’s History Month’.
Assessment
So make a difference, think globally and act locally! Make everyday International Women’s Day. Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.

A ProPublica Report
By Marian Wang
ProPublica, March 3, 2011, 3:24 p.m.
NOTE: A few years ago, ProPublica published this essay. Has anything changed, since then?
About 5 percent of nursing home workers—or one out of every 20—had at least one conviction, according to the report, which took a random sample of 260 nursing homes certified by Medicare and ran FBI background checks on their workers.
State Rules
State rules differ regarding background checks: 43 states require nursing homes to perform background checks against state records, ten of those require an additional FBI background check, and eight states don’t require background checks at all.
The rules also differ on what types of crimes disqualify workers. The report noted that of the workers with convictions, 44 percent had committed property crimes such as theft, vandalism or writing bad checks. Some 16 percent had drug-related crimes, and 13 percent had committed crimes against people, including sexual offenses.
Federal Regulations
Federal regulations prohibit nursing homes from employing workers convicted of “abusing, neglecting, or mistreating residents,” but because FBI data do not show whether the victims of the crimes were nursing home residents, it’s unclear whether these rules were violated.
The New York Times noted [2] that the current system for background checks—which Wisconsin Democrat Sen. Herb Kohl criticized as “haphazard, inconsistent, and full of gaping holes [3]—has allowed people convicted of crimes in one state simply find jobs at nursing homes in another state.
We’ve noted a similar lack of oversight in the nursing field, which allowed problem nurses to cross state lines in order to keep working and avoid consequences [4]. A national database was created decades ago to prevent this from happening, but reporting failures at both the state [5] and federal level [6] have left the database riddled with gaps.
***
***
CMS Over-Sight
The inspector general recommended that the federal government’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, work with the states to develop background check procedures, including lists of convictions that would disqualify a potential hire.
CMS oversees nursing homes eligible for funding under Medicare and Medicaid. In a written response to the report, the agency agreed with the recommendation. CMS also runs Nursing Home Compare [7], a searchable database with ratings on nursing homes.

About Decoration Day
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. There are many stories as to its actual beginnings, with over two dozen cities and towns laying claim to being the birthplace of Memorial Day.
There is also evidence that organized women’s groups in the South were decorating graves before the end of the Civil War: a hymn published in 1867, “Kneel Where Our Loves are Sleeping” by Nella L. Sweet carried the dedication “To The Ladies of the South who are Decorating the Graves of the Confederate Dead” (Source: Duke University’s Historic American Sheet Music, 1850-1920).
***
***
The Birth Place
While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it’s difficult to prove conclusively the origins of the day. It is more likely that it had many separate beginnings; each of those towns and every planned or spontaneous gathering of people to honor the war dead in the 1860’s tapped into the general human need to honor our dead, each contributed honorably to the growing movement that culminated in Gen Logan giving his official proclamation in 1868.
But, it is not important who was the very first, what is important is that Memorial Day was established. Memorial Day is not about division. It is about reconciliation; it is about coming together to honor those who gave their all.
Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war).
***
***
Assessment
Memorial Day is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90 – 363) to ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays), though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead: January 19 in Texas, April 26 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 10 in South Carolina; and June 3 (Jefferson Davis’ birthday) in Louisiana and Tennessee.

STOCKHOLM, Oct 9 (Reuters)
U.S. economist Richard Thaler won the 2017 Nobel Economics Prize for his contributions in the field of behavioral economics, showing how human traits affect supposedly rational markets, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said on Monday.
Thaler brought to prominence the idea of “nudge” economics, where humans are subtly guided toward beneficial behaviors without heavy-handed compulsion, the theme of a 2008 book he co-wrote which caught the eye of policymakers around the world.

Florence Nightingale’s Birthday
[By Staff Reporters]
National Nurses Week
[May 6-12, 2016]
International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world every May 12th, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth.
The Florence Nightingale International Foundation
According to their website, the FNIF is the International Council of Nurses (ICN) premier foundation. It supports and complements the work and objectives of the ICN. Its history dates back to 1912 when a memorial to Florence Nightingale was first proposed by Mrs. Ethel Bedford Fenwick at an ICN Congress in Cologne. The vision was of an educational foundation for nurses. As the First World War intervened, it was not until 1929 that the memorial was finally activated by the ICN Grand Council in Montreal. Mrs. Bedford Fenwick, the first president of ICN was elected the first chair of the Florence Nightingale Memorial Committee.
History
From 1931, national Florence Nightingale committees were established in countries where ICN had member associations. In 1932 discussions were held between ICN and the League of Red Cross Societies to use their Red Cross international post-graduate courses as an international memorial to Florence Nightingale.
The ICN Grand Council agreed to take over the international courses, and in 1934, established the Florence Nightingale International Foundation (FNIF) as a living memorial to Florence Nightingale. FNIF became an autonomous organization under British law with its own governing body and a mandate to develop and promote nursing education world wide.
Charitable Intent
FNIF is a registered Charity in the United Kingdom and maintains its original purpose; to support the advancement of nursing education, research and services for the public good. Though UK registered, the day-to-day administration is carried out in Geneva through the International Council of Nurses, a federation of 133 national nurses’ associations working to ensure quality care for all and sound health policies globally.
FNIF is a new foundation for a new day! They have a new board, a new program and a new look. The focus is global – as the needs of nurses everywhere are similar but the resources to meet those needs differ around the world.
Link: http://www.fnif.org/aboutfnif.htm
Assessment
As you know, Florence Nightingale is considered to be the founder of modern nursing. She was devoted to health, education and research, and worked tirelessly to raise health care standards.
At the M-P, we are honored to promote her legacy. You can find information about Florence Nightingale on the Florence Nightingale International Foundation (FNIF) web site and the Girl Child Education Fund. On this page you will also find items for purchase and links that will help you plan and celebrate the nursing profession making your special event a success.

How did you get to work today? Did it improve your health?
When I asked a traffic engineer those questions, we ended up having a fascinating conversation. She was someone used to focusing on safety and was thrilled to consider the broader impact she could have on her community’s health.
In our quest to become the healthiest nation, these are the types of discussions we need to have more often. Today in America, your zip code can mean a 15 year difference in life expectancy. We can’t fix this in a doctor’s office. We need to work far upstream with housing, transportation, education, parks & recreation, energy, employment, criminal justice – all the areas of our society that unfortunately are not giving people an equal opportunity for a long and healthy life.
That’s why this year’s Annual Meeting theme is “Health in All Policies.” Now more than ever we need to explore new ways to build partnerships. Our opening session will feature Dr. Freeman A. Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, who will discuss improving education, especially for minorities. He will be joined by actor Ed Begley Jr., a passionate environmentalist who will share his current initiatives in the environment field. Our closing session with health officials from Baltimore, St. Louis and Chicago will focus on building healthy and just communities.
Don’t miss this opportunity to join more than 12,000 of the brightest minds in public health. We’ll celebrate everything public health is doing right, and explore how we need to evolve to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Register now to take advantage of early-bird discounts.
I look forward to seeing you in Chicago.
Sincerely,
Georges C. Benjamin MD

ABOUT:
Dr. Dennis Bethel received his medical degree from the University of Minnesota. He worked for many years as a full-time emergency medicine physician but the increasing administrative burdens of medicine spurred his real estate investment career. With nearly a decade of multifamily real estate experience, Dr. Bethel now focuses on large commercial multifamily acquisitions across multiple markets. The purpose of his educational website is to help medical professionals become knowledgeable of this asset class [www.nesteggrx.com]. Today, he believes physicians should consider income producing multifamily real estate and diversify a portion of their investment portfolio outside the volatile world of the stock market. Dr. Bethel is the sole author of Chapter 16: Real Estate Investing.

Fraternally,
Dennis Bethel, MD

The Treasury Secretaries Opine
By Children’s Home Society of Florida Foundation
At a meeting in Washington on September 12, former Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and James Baker discussed the upcoming “fiscal cliff.” The forum was held in order to discuss the national debt and potential financial solutions. Treasury Secretaries from both parties were invited to discuss future financial options.
Both responded to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report that indicates the increased taxes and reduced spending scheduled to take place in January of 2013 could lead to recession. The Washington name for the potential financial challenge to the nation is “fiscal cliff.”
Rubin Speaks
Former Secretary Rubin stated, “It may be that for all kinds of reasons one party or another decides that’s the way to negotiate. But if we go over, we can’t stay over for very long, that’s for sure.” Rubin was referring to the effect of the potential fiscal cliff on negotiations between the parties in the November Congressional session.
Baker Speaks
Former Treasury Secretary James Baker joined by satellite; he stated, “There will be a recognition that we have to move the cliff out … so that we have time to deal with it and deal with it in an effective and orderly way, and I think that’s what’s going to happen.”
Secretary Baker was referring to proposals by Assistant Senate Majority Leader Richard Durbin (D-IL) and others. Durbin has introduced a plan to delay the scheduled changes for six months to enable the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee to develop and pass new legislation.
Boehner Speaks
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was asked this week about the fiscal cliff and whether a compromise is possible. Boehner stated he is “not confident at all” that the House and Senate will be able to act. The House passed the Job Protection and Recession Prevention Act of 2012 (H.R. 8) to extend all tax rates for one year. The House also has passed the Pathway to Job Creation through a Simpler, Fairer Tax Code Act of 2012 (H.R. 6169) to set up a fast-track process for tax reform in 2013.
Assessment
However, the Senate has passed the Middle Class Tax Cut Act (S. 3412) and would increase taxes for upper-income individuals. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) still indicated that he hopes for a compromise in November.

BEWARE ME-P Readers: International Cyber Ring That Infected Millions of Computers Dismantled
By Staff Reporters
To assist victims affected by the DNSChanger malicious software, the FBI obtained a court order authorizing the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) to deploy and maintain temporary clean DNS servers.
This solution is temporary, providing additional time for victims to clean affected computers and restore their normal DNS settings.
INFO: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/november/malware_110911
The clean DNS servers will be turned off on July 9, 2012, and computers still impacted by DNSChanger may lose Internet connectivity at that time.

A Unique Summer Long and Fourth of July Celebration Warning
[By Muhammad Saleem]
Did you know that recent reports show that nearly half of all Americans admitted to contributing to an unhealthy pool environment while even more are simply ignorant of the risks?
The Statistics
While, it is disgusting, it seems that 17% of adults admit to urinating in public pools.
So, during this Fourth of July Holiday, please take a minute to learn how to protect yourself and others this weekend, and summer.
More Yucky Info
20%, or 1 in 5 people pee in the pool.
Yep, that which we’ve always known to be true – because everybody secretly does it – has now been confirmed. People pee in the pool. One-in-five respondents to a survey by the Water Quality and Health Council admitted to contributing to the myriad disgusting contaminants already backstroking happily around the average pool.
Also, seven in 10 people don’t bother showering before diving in. Their sweat, sunscreen, dead skin, and other filth combines with chlorine to give you the red eyes and rashes you enjoy so much.
So next time someone goes all quiet while they’re kicking back in your pool, you might want to direct them to a bathroom.
Assessment
Have you ever urinated in a swimming pool or public place … be honest? If so, how did you feel?

Not for Doctors … Only
This glorious 25 May is once again upon us, towels are being folded correctly and thousands of voices are suddenly crying out in pain as they discover another little tweak to a certain film that was first released 35 years ago today. If that isn’t enough for you to celebrate, today is also once again Geek Pride Day. Last year IT recruitment agency Modis commissioned a survey of 1,000 Americans on their opinions around the term geek, and they’ve run it again this year to see how things have changed.
Smart Geeks
Looking through the results it seems that Geeks are becoming even more acceptable than last year, with 54% of respondents rating Geeks as “extremely intelligent” (up from 45% last year). 71% reckon we’re the people to go for technology advice (up from 56%), and more than half of Americans (51%) define Geeks as professionally successful – like medical professionals and ME-P readers – a huge leap from the 31% in last year’s survey. Around two-thirds of respondents defined a “Geek” as someone who is addicted to technology and who spends more time online than offline, yet when given a list of items and asked which they would have trouble living without, 71% of the “Geeks” put a pen and paper above technology and gadgets such as a computer (58%), smartphone (41%), or MP3 player (25 %). The non-geeks listed their cars as the thing they couldn’t live without!
Results
The results show that our addiction to our smartphones is still increasing with 45% of “Geeks” admitting to using their phones whilst driving – but it’s not clear if this is simply for sat-nav or musical reasons, or whether Angry Birds on the go is really taking off. (Note: please don’t be among this number – it’s a really silly, and illegal, thing to do). Slightly less worrying is using them in other inappropriate places such and weddings, funerals, on a date or, in 3% of respondents’ cases, at a job interview! Bet that went down well.
Surprises
One result we find surprising is that 60% of “Geeks” would find it more stressful to lose the data from their hard drives than to go through a relationship breakup. All we can say to that is that the pool of respondents couldn’t have contained too many GeekDr.Dads and GeekDr.Moms because; a) we would definitely miss our other halves more than a bit of data, and b) we’d have all that data backed up securely. Then again, the docs do seem to love their mobile aps.
Assessment
In several different locations, the ME-P and Modis is also running a little “GeekStakes” competition in conjunction with our friends at ThinkGeek over on their Facebook page until June 1st, where you can win some more gadgets to distract you from doing the thing that you’re supposed to be doing right now!
And so we ask – Doctors – Geeks, Nerds or NOT?

Synopsis of the Most Recent Week Ending May 4th, 2012 … and Weekly Thereafter
[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA]
The US economy continues to seek traction.
The latest Federal, Bureau Labor Statistics, Gross Domestic Product and Gross National Product reports – along with employment, housing, manufacturing and other leading macro and microeconomic indicators – seem to suggest soft job growth, weak business activity in the huge service sector, and increasingly cautious consumers.
Yet manufacturing activity appears to be solid and employers seem poised to hire—but who knows when?

On Consolidating DME Vendors
As hospitals look to lower costs, one popular option is to consolidate to a single vendor in categories such as knee implants. To do this, hospitals need to convince surgeons to change the brand that they use. This is difficult in any hospital as surgeons tend to be loyal and rarely change over time.
Therefore most hospitals have multiple brands per category, especially in service lines with 4+ surgeons.
Conclusion
Your thoughts and comments on this ME-P are appreciated. How brand loyal are orthopods, dental, podiatric or other surgeons? Feel free to review our top-left column, and top-right sidebar materials, links, URLs and related websites, too. Then, subscribe to the ME-P. It is fast, free and secure.
