ONE STOP POST OPTM

February 23rd, 2010
Implementing an open heart surgery (OHS) program presented the opportunity for several community based hospitals to challenge the way they had been providing patient care and establish an innovative approach to post surgery patient care.

Capturing your Cardiac Market Opportunity

February 20th, 2010
With today's budget cuts and declining reimbursements, can a hospital afford to 'niche' market its specialty services? Can a hospital or health system afford not to? A large number of institutions, mainly community based, have not had a history of allocating resources for program-specific marketing activity. The changes in clinical practice, payor requirements and market demands that have occurred over the past five years are causing many health care providers to 're-think' their approach ...

Google News can be entertaining (http://news.google.com/). Late August 2004 headlines show that at least some USA government experts understand the difference between "good" and "bad" sugars. However, they stopped short of telling us to limit refined sugar intake, in updated dietary guidelines for 2005.
