Objective
To identify characteristics that contribute to and promote a pharmacy services center of excellence model in a large health system.
Methods
In 2019, a survey was conducted of 161 acute care pharmacy departments of health system-affiliated hospitals. Information captured included pharmacy practice models, pharmacist resource allocation, training of pharmacy residents, postgraduate training and pharmacist certifications. Results were combined with clinical pharmacy metric performance and centralized electronic data to identify features of top performing pharmacy departments.
Results
Survey results were received from 141 of 161 affiliated hospitals (88%). Hospitals with 100 to 299 beds comprised 54% (n = 16 of …

Natural disasters can have extraordinary impacts on a community and its infrastructure. Disasters can weaken systems that provide crucial resources, such as shelter, food security, water and health care. Recently, southeast Louisiana sustained devastating damage from Hurricane Ida on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Our medical workforce faced challenges caring for patients in a facility without potable water and powered by a generator. With the support of corporate entities and our academic institution, however, these barriers were quickly overcome and thus highlights the importance of collective resilience in the face of a natural disaster.

Objective
The objective of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the accuracy of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) resident palpation skills of hand and wrist joint and soft tissue structures using ultrasonography (US) verification.
Methods
PM&R residents palpated hand and wrist anatomic structures in an outpatient musculoskeletal (MSK) clinic. Once the presumed structures were localized, residents marked a one centimeter size circle on the overlying skin with an ink marker. The accuracy of the circle over the joint line and soft tissue structures was verified using US.
Results
Overall palpation accuracy for 16 joint line and soft tissue structures was …

Today’s physicians are being confronted with an increasing number of challenges and opportunities as our evolving healthcare system progresses into the future. The expectation is not only to provide the best clinical care, but also to satisfy metrics, fulfill budgets, achieve high patient satisfaction levels and accomplish institutional requirements in order to be considered good providers. All these additional demands seem to be affecting not only the clinical performance of physicians but also their wellness, increasing the risk of burnout, depression and suicide.

The Need For Physician Leaders, Seth W. Wolk
HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine
Almost all care in a healthcare organization flows through their physicians, who are usually viewed as the de facto leaders in almost all clinical settings. Physicians have a disproportionate impact on how care is delivered and also have a disproportionate responsibility to lead change. Effective organizational physician leaders create an environment in which their colleagues are able to successfully exercise their skills and knowledge and are convinced that their efforts contribute to improved patient care.
