Why are CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER® Textbooks SO DARN Popular?

Posted on April 29, 2021 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.

Sam’s Club Launches Innovative Pilot to Help Make Healthcare More Affordable

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.

What is “Clinical Equipoise” in Medicine?

Posted on April 7, 2021 by Editor-in-Chief

Equipoise

[By staff reporters]

Clinical equipoise, also known as the principle of equipoise, provides the ethical basis for medical research that involves assigning patients to different treatment arms of a clinical trial.

The term was first used by Benjamin Freedman in 1987, although references to its use go back to 1795 by Dr. Edward Jenner. In short, clinical equipoise means that there is genuine uncertainty in the expert medical community over whether a treatment will be beneficial. This applies also for off-label treatments performed before or during their required clinical trials.

World Bi-Polar Day 2021

Posted on March 29, 2021 by Editor-in-Chief

By staff reporters

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).

When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to think clearly.

Episodes of mood swings may occur rarely or multiple times a year. While most people will experience some emotional symptoms between episodes, some may not experience any.

Although bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, you can manage your mood swings and other symptoms by following a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar disorder is treated with medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy).

7 Lucky Facts about St. Patrick’s Day

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Editor-in-Chief

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!

The Diderot Effect?

Posted on March 12, 2021 by Editor-in-Chief

What is it?

[By staff reporters]

The Diderot Effect is a social phenomenon related to consumer goods. It is based on two ideas.

The first idea is that goods purchased by consumers will align with their sense of identity, and, as a result, will complement one another.

The second idea states that the introduction of a new possession that deviates from the consumer’s current complementary goods can result in a process of spiraling consumption.

The term was coined by anthropologist and scholar of consumption patterns Grant McCracken in 1988, and is named after the French philosopher Denis Diderot, who first described the effect in an essay.

Correlation is NOT Causation

Posted on February 5, 2021 by Editor-in-Chief

“CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION”
Courtesy: https://lnkd.in/eBf-4vY
Repeat After Me!

DEFINITION: The phrase “correlation does not imply causation” refers to the inability to legitimately deduce a cause-and-effect relationship between two events or variables solely on the basis of an observed association between them.
DICTIONARY: https://lnkd.in/dqdbWM9

***

LOGIC FALLACY: The idea that “correlation implies causation” is an example of a questionable-cause logical fallacy, in which two events occurring together are taken to have established a cause-and-effect relationship.

This fallacy is also known by the Latin phrase cum hoc ergo propter hoc (‘with this, therefore because of this‘). This differs from the fallacy known as post hoc ergo propter hoc (“after this, therefore because of this”), in which an event following another is seen as a necessary consequence of the former event, and from conflation, the errant merging of two events, ideas, databases, etc., into one.

Dictionary of Health Information Technology and Security

Posted on January 13, 2021 by Editor-in-Chief

ADVERTISEMENT

Whither the “Dictionary of Health Information Technology and Security?”

A simple query that demands a cogent answer!

There is a myth that all stakeholders in the healthcare space understand the meaning of basic information technology jargon. In truth, the vernacular of contemporary medical information systems is unique, and often misused or misunderstood. It is sometimes altogether confounding.

Terms such as, “RSS”, “eHRs”, “DRAM”, “ROM”, “USB”, “PDA”, “NPI”, “CCHIT”, and “DNS” are common acronyms, but is their meaning AND functionality truly understood?

Parkinson’s Law of Triviality in Time Management, Economics and Finance

Posted on December 27, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

The Attention a Problem Gets is Inverse to its’ Importance

Courtesy: http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

Historian Cyril Parkinson’s wrote in his book Parkinson’s Law,

“The time spent on any item of the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum [of money] involved.”

EXAMPLE: Parkinson described a fictional finance committee with three tasks: approval of a $10 million nuclear reactor, $400 for an employee bike shed, and $20 for employee refreshments in the break room.

The committee approves the $10 million nuclear reactor immediately, because the number is too big to contextualize, alternatives are too daunting to consider, and no one on the committee is an expert in nuclear power.

Bike Shed Effect: The bike shed gets considerably more debate. Committee members argue whether a bike rack would suffice and whether a shed should be wood or aluminum, because they have some experience working with those materials at home.

Employee refreshments take up two-thirds of the debate, because everyone has a strong opinion on what’s the best coffee, the best cookies, the best chips, etc.

Absurd: The world is filled with these absurdities. In personal finance, Ramit Sethi recently said we should stop asking $3 questions (should I buy coffee?) and ask more $30,000 questions (should I buy a smaller home?). Most people don’t, because it’s hard and intimidating. In any given moment the easiest way to deal with a big problem is to ignore it and fill your time thinking about a smaller one.

What is Anscombe’s Quartet?

Posted on December 16, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

The Need for Data Visualization

Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

Anscombe’s Quartet comprises four data sets that have nearly identical simple descriptive statistics, yet have very different distributions and appear very different when graphed. Each dataset consists of eleven (x,y) points.

LINK: https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Health-Information-Technology-Security/dp/0826149952/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254413315&sr=1-5

They were constructed in 1973 by the statistician Francis Anscombe to demonstrate both the importance of graphing data before analyzing it and the effect of outliers and other influential observations on statistical properties. He described the article as being intended to counter the impression among statisticians that “numerical calculations are exact, but graphs are rough.”

So, always plot that data!

Executive Order Expands Telemedicine and Eases Burden on Rural Providers

On August 3, 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at expanding access to care through two avenues: telemedicine and eased financial burdens on rural providers. The executive order builds on President Trump’s original expansion of coverage for telemedicine services in early March 2020, an order which was praised by the American Telehealth Association (ATA) and American Medical Association (AMA) for swiftly responding to the growing healthcare crisis. This Health Capital Topics article will discuss the executive rule and the subsequent agency actions on these fronts. (Read more…)

EMR ‘versus’ EHR

Posted on August 20, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

What is the Difference – Know the Difference

By staff reporters

Both an EMR and EHR are digital records of patient health information. An EMR is best understood as a digital version of a patient’s chart. It contains the patient’s medical and treatment history from one practice. Usually, this digital record stays in the doctor’s office and does not get shared. If a patient switches doctors, his or her EMR is unlikely to follow.

By contrast, an EHR contains the patient’s records from multiple doctors and provides a more holistic, long-term view of a patient’s health. It includes their demographics, test results, medical history, history of present illness (HPI), and medications.

New Index Ranks Hospitals’ Community Benefit

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

New Index Ranks Hospitals’ Community Benefit

By Health Capital Consultants, LLC

On July 7, 2020, the Lown Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, announced the initial release of its new ranking system for hospitals. Called the “Hospitals Index,” this ranking analyzes not just the quality of care and patient outcomes but also the hospital’s civic leadership and avoidance of overuse, ideas that harken back to the core mission and vision of the Lown Institute itself.

Founded in 1973, the Institute advocates for a healthcare system that “rejects low-value care, incentivizes healing over profits, promotes health equity, and honors the value of the clinician-patient relationship.” (Read more…)

ANOSMIA, HYPERSOMIA, AGEUSIA, HYPOGEUSIA, DYSGEUSIA and the CORONA VIRUS?

Posted on July 26, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

WHAT IS “ANOSMIA”

By Darrell Pruitt DDS and David E. Marcinko MBBS, MBA

Anosmia, also known as smell blindness, is the loss of the ability to detect one or more smells. Anosmia may be temporary or permanent. It differs from Hyposmia which is a decreased sensitivity to some or all smells.

According to Wikipedia, Anosmia can be due to a number of factors, including an inflammation of the nasal mucosa, blockage of nasal passages or a destruction of one temporal lobe. Inflammation is due to chronic mucosa changes in the lining of the paranasal sinus and in the middle and superior turbinates. When anosmia is caused by inflammatory changes in the nasal passageways, it is treated simply by reducing inflammation. It can be caused by chronic meningitis and neurosyphilis that would increase intracranial pressure over a long period of time, and in some cases by ciliopathy, including ciliopathy due to primary ciliary dyskinesia. The term derives from the New Latin anosmia, based on Ancient Greek ἀν- (an-) + ὀσμή (osmḗ, “smell”; another related term, hyperosmia, refers to an increased ability to smell). Some people may be anosmic for one particular odor, a condition known as “specific anosmia”. The absence of the sense of smell from birth is known as congenital anosmia.

Ageusia is the loss of taste functions of the tongue, particularly the inability to detect sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and umami. It is sometimes confused with anosmia – a loss of the sense of smell. Because the tongue can only indicate texture and differentiate between sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami, most of what is perceived as the sense of taste is actually derived from smell. True Ageusia is relatively rare compared to Hypogeusia – a partial loss of taste – and Dysgeusia – a distortion or alteration of taste.

ASSESSMENT:

If you should suddenly lose your sense of smell (anosmia), you might want to get tested for COVID-19 – even without the presence of other symptoms.

“A majority of COVID-19 patients experience some level of anosmia, most often temporary. Analyses of electronic health records indicate that COVID-19 patients are 27 times more likely to have smell loss but are only around 2.2 to 2.6 times more likely to have fever, cough or respiratory difficulty, compared to patients without COVID-19.”

See: “How COVID-19 Causes Loss of Smell – Olfactory support cells, not neurons, are vulnerable to novel coronavirus infection.” By Kevin Jiang for Harvard Medical School, July 24, 2020.

WHAT IS THE VELOCITY OF MONEY?

Posted on June 1, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

It’s the Rate of [Physician] Circulation and Consumption

Courtesy: https://lnkd.in/eBf-4vY

The VM is a measure of the number of times that the average unit of currency is used to purchase goods and services within a given time period. The concept relates the size of economic activity to a given money supply. This speed of money exchange is one of the variables that determine inflation.

VM is the ratio of gross national product (GNP) to a country’s money supply. The more often money changes hands, the greater the level of commerce. The VM is determined by money supply, interest rates, inflation, commerce and the Federal Reserve.

LINK: https://lnkd.in/eZxrhtp

Physicians, like most consumers, tend to hold less money as interest rates and inflation increase, and therefore the velocity of money increases.

ESSAY: https://lnkd.in/e6TvuVM

VM is reduced when people increase money holdings in periods of low interest rates and low inflation; the opposite when rates and inflation are high.

WHAT IS A “VACCINE ENHANCED IMMUNE RESPONSE”?

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

Study Confirms Some Flu Vaccines Cause a Stronger Response in Older Patients

Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

Back in December 2019, a study published journal “Clinical Infectious Diseases” offered more evidence that certain specially formulated flu vaccines may offer people 65 years and older better protection than standard-dose flu vaccines.

LINK: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/spotlights/2019-2020/vaccine-stronger-immune.htm

People in this age group are considered at high risk of developing serious flu complications, yet vaccines may not work as well for them as they do in younger people.

There are at least three relatively newer influenza vaccine options that may improve vaccine protection among older adults, and this is the first study to directly compare the antibody responses from these newer vaccine options with standard flu vaccines among people in the same age group during the same influenza season.

THE “Rational” AND “Adaptive” Expectations Theory

Posted on May 22, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

Two Well Known But Doubtful Economic Theories

Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

[By Staff Reporters]

1 – RATIONAL EXPECTATIONS state that one will conform to what can logically be expected in the future. That is, a person will invest, save or spend according to what s/he rationally believes will happen in the future. An investor thinks a stock is going to go up, and by buying it, this act actually causes the stock to go up.

LINK: https://www.springerpub.com/dictionary-of-health-economics-and-finance-9780826102546.html

DOUBT: An investor notices that a stock is undervalued, buys it, and watches as other investors notice the same thing, thus pushing the price up to its proper market value. This creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that helps bring about the future event. So, RE can be changed to explain everything, but it tells us nothing.

2 – ADAPTIVE EXPECTATIONS suggest that people form their expectations about what will happen in the future based on what has happened in the past.

DOUBT: Past data is only one of many factors that influence future behavior. In the financial world, change is the only true constant.

Medical Practice “Prior Authorizations”

Posted on May 21, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

THE “SIREN CALL” OF MEDICAL PRACTICE PRIOR AUTHORIZATONS

Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

“The Doctor Can’t See You – She’s Too Busy Doing Prior Authorizations.”

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

Somewhere along the way, physicians took a wrong step. Colleagues said OK to the SERPENT who whispered: “this saves money,” and now we’re entangled. We should’ve asked, “Whose money?”

PRIOR AUTHORIZATIONS for medical treatment and prescription drug are killing medicine and all those who would follow into this once great profession.

LINK: https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Health-Insurance-Managed-Care/dp/0826149944/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275315485&sr=1-4

And so, here is an excerpt [blinded and abbreviated] from an email we received from a medical physician colleague.

***

DOCTOR: For every hour that I spend with a patient, I spend another three hours documenting and begging.
TYPICAL DAY: 4 hours of seeing patients, sprinkled between 12 hours of doing what we used to call “paperwork”.

EMRs: Calling it Electronic Medical Records and data collection doesn’t make this nonsense any more appealing.
ASSESSMENT: Patients get turned away because PCPs are too busy with paperwork. People are sick and dying while I’m calling clerks and pleading for RXs. I’d rather be doctoring.
BOTTOM LINE: 1/5 of my day, over 12 hours a week as a PCP, is now spent on prior authorizations. 1/3 of my assistant’s day is on prior authorizations. That’s why he couldn’t call you back.

CONCLUSION: Next time you can’t get a doctor’s appointment, you’ll know why.

Active v. Passive v. Acquired Immunity

Posted on May 20, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

On Basic Epidemiology and Public Health

Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

Active Immunity develops after exposure to a disease-causing infectious microorganism or other foreign substance, such as following infection or vaccination.

Acquired Immunity develops during a person’s lifetime. There are two types of acquired immunity: active immunity and passive immunity.

LINK: https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Health-Insurance-Managed-Care/dp/0826149944/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275315485&sr=1-4

Passive Immunity develops after a person receives immune system components, most commonly antibodies, from another person. Passive immunity can occur naturally, such as when an infant receives a mother’s antibodies through the placenta or breast milk, or artificially, such as when a person receives antibodies in the form of an injection (gamma globulin injection). Passive immunity provides immediate protection against an antigen, but does not provide long-lasting protection.

“UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS” EXISTED LONG BEFORE THE CORONA VIRUS

Posted on May 11, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief

WHAT’S OLD – IS NEW AGAIN?

Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

cropped-dem

Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA

Universal Precautions refer to the medical practice of avoiding contact with patients’ bodily fluids, by means of the wearing of nonporous articles such as medical gloves, goggles, and face shields.

LINK: https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Health-Insurance-Managed-Care/dp/0826149944/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275315485&sr=1-4

The infection control techniques were essentially good hygiene habits, such as hand washing and the use of gloves and other barriers, the correct handling of hypodermic needles, scalpels, and aseptic techniques.

Following the AIDS outbreak in the 1980s the US CDC formally introduced them in 1985–88. Every patient was treated as if infected and therefore precautions were taken to minimize risk.
