What is Hermeneutics?

Posted on November 4, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief

To Understand … and be Understood

By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA

Hermeneutics (/ˌhɜːrməˈnjuːtɪks/) is the theory and methodology of interpretation, originally the interpretation of biblical texts, wisdom literature, and philosophical texts.

Hermeneutics is more than interpretive principles or methods we resort to when immediate comprehension fails. Rather, hermenetics is the art of understanding and of making oneself understood.

More on Concierge, Retail, Cash Pay and Boutique Medicine; etc

Posted on October 5, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief

Updates for 2019

cropped-dem

By Dr. David E. MarcinkoMBA

I devoted a full chapter of my book; “The Business of Medical Practice” to concierge and boutique medicine, retail medicine, direct, cash and private pay medicine; etc. We included terms and definitions, process and methodologies, marketing and advertising, and examples, etc. In fact, who knew I was so prescient and the landscape would finally begin evolving.

For example, we recently learned about Sam’s Club offering targeted “bundles” of health care services collaborating with Humana. https://lnkd.in/ejHGGzk

And, earlier, we learned of Amazon’s new virtual / primary care clinic model. And of course, in the past couple of weeks, Walmart’s (Sam’s affiliate) opening their freestanding clinics, along with new behavioral health services, as well.

Assessment: Your thoughts are appreciated.

Efficient V. Effective V. Affective

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief

Understand and Know the Difference

[By staff reporters]

Efficient – Performing or functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort. The difference between effectiveness and efficiency can be summed up shortly, sweetly and succinctly right.

Effective – Produces the results you want. And that’s a very appropriate way to define effective, because we get the adjective from the noun effect—a result. It’s not too hard to remember the difference between affective and effective. You just have to use a small upside-down mnemonic device—when it comes to affective and effective, a is for emotion, and e is for action.

AFFECTIVE – Relating to moods, feelings, and attitudes.

MORE: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/affective-vs-effective/

***

Assessment – In taking into consideration resource consumption furthermore, Effectiveness is only about the output while Efficiency is about the outcome. In other words, to be effective is to “do the right things” while to be efficient is to “do things right.”.

On Quantitative Easing and Tightening

Posted on September 2, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief

The Theory

[By Staff Reporters]

Quantitative easing (QE) is a monetary policy used by central banks to stimulate the economy when standard monetary policy has become ineffective.

***

Quantitative tightening (QT) is a contractionary monetary policy applied by a central bank to decrease the amount of liquidity within the economy. The policy is the reverse of quantitative easing aimed to increase money supply in order to “stimulate” the economy.

Assessment: Your thoughts are appreciated.

All about Titles and University Professors in the USA

Posted on August 28, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief

Academic Titles are Different in Europe

By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA

***

I’ve taught in medical, graduate and business school academia for a while now, and served as instructor, adjunct, assistant, associate and full professor in the USA and Europe. I even held chair and endowed positions. But, the precise definition of these titles has always eluded me. So, I did a bit of research to arrive at the following conclusions mingled with my personal experiences..

***

A “Professor-of-the-Practice” or P-O-P is a non-tenured person appointed to the academic staff of an American university with exceptional experiences in their “practice” (profession) and holding a terminal doctoral degree.

I’ve seen this position in medical schools and allied health care institutuions.

NOTE: In American universities, a “professor” is practically any lecturer with a doctor’s degree, whereas in most of the world the title is reserved for senior academics; including most Commonwealth Nations (United Kingdom), German-speaking nations and Northern Europe. It may also be a department head or specifically bestowed chair. A professor is a highly accomplished and recognized academic, and the title is awarded only after decades of scholarly work. In the United States and Canada the title of professor is granted to all scholars with doctorate degrees (typically Ph.D.s) who teach in two and four year colleges and universities, and used in the titles Assistant Professor and Associate Professor, which are not considered full professorship level positions elsewhere.

***

A Scholar-in-Residence can serve a university in a full-time, visiting, or part-time capacity. A full-time SIR will be provided on-campus housing and is asked to: hold 2-5 office hours/programs per week in the community. A part-time SIR will host at least 2 programs/activities during the appointment and attend appropriate community meetings.

I’ve seen this position mostly in the graduate school universe.

Finally, an “Entrepreneur-in-Residence” is a position typically held by successful entrepreneurs in venture capital firms, private equity firms, startup accelerators, law firms, or business schools. The EIR typically leads a small, early-stage, emerging company deemed to have high growth potential, or has demonstrated high growth. The university endowment fund provides the Entrepreneur-in-Residence with working capital to nurture expansion, new-product development, or restructuring of the company’s operations, management, and/or ownership.

This is likely the newest business school nomenclature iteration IMHO.

Assessment: So, how did I do with these definitions which still may vary among different colleges, universities and institutions? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Why are CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER® Textbooks SO DARN Popular?

Posted on August 5, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief

The Big Surprise

[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP®]

http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

OK – I was a Certified Financial Planner® before my academic team launched the Certified Medical Planner™ online and on-ground chartered education and board certification designation program a few years ago. I am now CFP reformed and in remission.

MORE: Enter CPMs

Enter the Certified Medical Planner™ Chartered Designation

Today, we are of course, gratified that Certified Medical Planner™ mark notoriety is growing organically in the healthcare, as well as financial services, industry.

Even uber-blogger Mike Kitces MSFS, MTAX, CFP, CLU, ChFC, RHU, REBC, CASL has taken note of us in his musings on the Nerd’s Eye View website. And, the reality is that there are a growing number of CFP educational programs at the post-CFP niche market level.

But, none for healthcare industrial complex: for doctors … by doctors!

Popularity of our Text Books

However, it is our modern, innovative and proprietary Certified Medical Planner™ textbooks and dictionaries that have exploded in the academic marketplace.

In fact, they are now redacted in thousands of medical, graduate, law and B-schools and libraries, as well as colleges and universities throughout the nation. This includes the Library of Congress, National Institute of Health and the Library of Congress.

What Gives?

We have been told that this textbook popularity and publishing success is because of their balanced and peer-reviewed nature; something not very widespread in the financial services industry that is prone to gross and overstated advertising, salesmanship and marketing hyperbole. And, for this we are very gratified.

But, is there another reason our books are so popular?

A bit of networking and research suggests that interested folks may be eschewing the actual course work in favor of just the high quality textbooks! UGH!

Another reason may be that our books and curricula are kept fresh and updated on our corporate website: http://www.MedicalBusinessAdvisors.com

Assessment

So, what do you think? Matriculation with the professional mark versus self study without the designation mark. Please opine.

Accuracy versus Precision?

Posted on July 9, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief

YES – There is a Difference

[By staff reporters]

ACCURACY Defined

The degree to which a measurement, or an estimate based on measurements, represents the true value of the attribute being measured. In the laboratory, accuracy of a test is determined when possible by comparing results from the test in question with results generated using reference standards or an established reference method.

PRECISION Defined

Precision is a description of random errors, a measure of statistical variability. It refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

***

ACCUAACY versus PRECISION

Both accuracy and precision reflect how close a measurement is to an actual value, but accuracy reflects how close a measurement is to a known or accepted value, while precision reflects how reproducible measurements are, even if they are far from the accepted value.
