My Fond Memories
By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA
National Osteopathic Medicine Week takes place April 19-25, 2020. It is a special time where the osteopathic medicine profession comes together to help educate the world about what osteopathic medicine is.
At first glance, the difference between DOs and MDs is difficult to distinguish. They’re both fully licensed physicians, trained in diagnosing and treating illnesses and disorders and providing preventive care.
***
But, the foundation of osteopathic medicine is that people are more than just the sum of their body parts.
Learn more about National Osteopathic Medicine Week and how you can share your DO pride.
Assessment: I trained at several DO hospitals in my early career for which I am very grateful.

A NEW I.P.O
BY HEALTH CAPITAL CONSULTANTS, LLC
***
On January 30, 2020, 1Life Healthcare, Inc. (One Medical) went public, opening at $14 per share, and closing at $22.07 per share. The innovative San Francisco-based direct primary care organization more closely resembles a technology start-up than a traditional healthcare organization.
The membership model service provides “seamless access” to primary care services at “calming offices,” 24/7 virtual care, and 21st century technology (e.g., a mobile application that allows patients to schedule appointments and message their provider).

Obvious Covid-19 Implications
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CPHQ, CMP

We’ve discussed biologic false positives and false negatives before on this ME-P.
LINK: https://medicalexecutivepost.com/2019/09/14/what-are-false-positive-and-false-negative-tests/
Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
So, now is the time to discuss and conquer the medical laboratory concepts of Sensitivity and Specificity.
***
Sensitivity and specificity are statistical measures of the performance of a binary classification test, also known in statistics as a classification function, that are widely used in medicine.
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
- Sensitivity (also called the true positive rate, the recall, or probability of detection in some fields) measures the proportion of actual positives that are correctly identified as such (e.g., the percentage of sick people who are correctly identified as having the condition).
- Specificity (also called the true negative rate) measures the proportion of actual negatives that are correctly identified as such (e.g., the percentage of healthy people who are correctly identified as not having the condition).
LINK: https://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-sensitivity-and-vs-specificity/
NOTE: The terms “positive” and “negative” don’t refer to the value of the condition of interest, but to its presence or absence; the condition itself could be a disease, so that “positive” might mean “diseased”, while “negative” might mean “healthy”.
***

***
And so, colleague Michael Lawrence Langan MD opines on a much deeper level.

WHAT IT IS – HOW IT WORKS?

Our message on Corona Virus so far has been “don’t panic.” For the vast majority of individuals, Corona Virus is not an existential threat.
However, the rapid rate of the virus’s spread has the potential to overwhelm our health system and cause a lot of problems.
And so, colleague Aaron E. Carroll MD MS explains the infection curve, right here.

Human Health Behavior and COVID-19 Thoughts
Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
Here are 3 theories and 1 “rule” for the healthcare industrial complex that may help explain how the sector may not work correctly; from trauma, to epidemiology and to Corona; all the time.
1 – Berkson’s Paradox: Strong correlations can fall apart when combined with a larger population.
For example, among motorcycle crash victims wearing helmets are more likely to be seriously injured than those not wearing helmets. But, that’s because most crash victims saved by helmets did not need to become hospital patients, and those without helmets are more likely to die before becoming a hospital patient.
2 – Group Attribution Error: Incorrectly assuming that the views of a group member, like a physician, reflect those of the whole group in a different discipline.
3 – Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon: Noticing an idea or word every where you look as soon as it’s brought to your attention in a way that makes you overestimate its prevalence.
***

The 90-9-1 Rule: In social media networks, 90% of users just read content, 9% of users contribute a little content, and 1% of users contribute almost all the content.
QUERY: Does Social Media really give a false impression of what ideas are popular or “average.”
THINK: Corona Virus?

Understanding the 2020 Corona Virus Economic Crisis
By William Poole
Dear Dr. David E. Marcinko,
Thank you for your interest in the Merk Perspective.
Merk Senior Economic Adviser and former St. Louis Fed President William Poole shares his thoughts on how to assess the economic impact of the Corona virus, pointing out in what ways it is different from past crises.
There are several aspects of the crisis that deserve separate attention. Many will seem obvious but nonetheless need to be made explicit to yield a thorough analysis.

On “Level One” Infection Control Practices
By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA
QUERY: We’ve been hearing about PPE since the start of the Corvid-19 epidemic. But, what is it; really? One of my B-School students recently asked me.
ANSWER: PPE is protective clothing, helmets, goggles, garments or equipment to protect one from injury. The hazards include physical, electrical, heat, chemicals, biological and airborne particulates. It may be worn for occupational safety, health purposes, sports and other recreational activities.

A Physician Survery
By AMA
DEFINITION: Prior authorization is a utilization management process used by some health insurance companies in the United States to determine if they will cover a prescribed procedure, service, or medication. The process is intended to act as a safety and cost-saving measure although it has received criticism from physicians for being costly and time-consuming.

Binary Test Errors
[By staff reporters]
In medical testing, and more generally in binary classification, a false positive is an error in data reporting in which a test result improperly indicates presence of a condition, such as a disease (the result is positive), when in reality it is not present, while a false negative is an error in which a test result improperly indicates no presence of a condition (the result is negative), when in reality it is present.

Assessment
These are the two kinds of errors in a binary test (and are contrasted with a correct result, either a true positive or a true negative.) They are also known in medicine as a false positive (respectively negative) diagnosis, and in statistical classification as a false positive (respectively negative) error.
A false positive is distinct from overdiagnosis, and is also different from overtesting.
Conclusion: Your thoughts are appreciated.

ME-P Readers and Subscribers
Workers Memorial Day [WMD] is a commemoration day that is celebrated in the U.S and abroad each year on April 28th. It is meant to remember those who have been killed or left disabled as a result of an injury suffered at work. And, it’s an opportunity to recognize the preventable nature of most workplace accidents and bring greater awareness to safety campaigns and legislation.

So, you are more than welcome to read, review and use any of the content from our memorial page on your ME-P website.

Maybe?
[By Staff Reporters]
Fake news websites (also referred to as hoax news websites) are Internet websites that deliberately publish fake news — hoaxes, propaganda and disinformation purporting to be real news —often using social media to drive web traffic and amplify their effect.
Unlike news satire, fake news websites deliberately seek to be perceived as legitimate and taken at face value, often for financial or political gain.

Dear Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA
I am happy to share with you, and your readers, Research2Guidance’s latest digital health article “How digital business models impact the value chain of health insurers“.
Health insurance companies have started to make use of digital technologies to reinvent the way they interact with their members and health care providers. Innovation is mainly driven by insure-tech companies raising hundreds of millions of investment money. Established health insurers must know new insure-tech digital business models to understand their impact on both value chain and market position.

“We think, in 3-5 years from now, these digital business models will be widely implemented globally” – says Ralf Jahns, Managing Director of Research 2 Guidance. “Asia and North America will lead but there will be and already are implementations in Europe as well“.
Thank you for your time!
P.S. If you, or your ME-P readers need any insights or quotes about the digital health insurance market, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to provide you with reliable data and latest market insights.
Kind regards,
Stela Nikolova
[Research2Guidance]

Value For All?

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA
http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
Defined by Professor Michael Porter at Harvard Business School, value is defined as a function of outcomes and costs. Therefore to achieve high value we must deliver the best possible outcomes in the most efficient way, outcomes which matter from the perspective of the individual receiving healthcare and not provider process measures or targets.
Sir Muir Gray expanded on the idea of technical value (outcomes/costs) to specifically describe ‘personal value’ and ‘allocative value’, encouraging us to focus also on shared decision making, individual preferences for care and ensuring that resources are allocated for maximum value.
