Governor Kaine’s package of budget cuts includes proposals that may foster a paradigm shift in how the Commonwealth delivers mental health services. Calling Virginia a “dinosaur,” Gov.

In any market environment, you have to be careful not to take current events and extrapolate ad infinitum, assuming that nothing else will change. I distinctly remember being in a meeting of a university student organization with its board, hearing one of the senior board members say "We can safely assume we'll make no less than 8% on this money in the future." To be fair, interest rates at the time were north of 12%, and a drop of that magnitude seemed outrageous. That was 25 years ago, but the2009 Overview

In the latest issue of Pediatrics, Dr. Paul Offit criticized the Vaccine book by Dr. Bob Sears. Dr. Sears responded to the criticisms on his own web site. I recently reviewed Offit’s new book Autism’s False Prophets, which is an excellent explanation and repudiation of antivaccine activism. I haven’t reviewed Dr. Sears’ Vaccine Book, but my readers may be interested to know that I did follow an uninformed alternate vaccine schedule for my oldest daughter.

As if to underscore my earlier point, compare this: The NHS in England could save more than £2bn (€3bn; $3.7bn) a year through better productivity and efficiency, says the Department of Health. Potential savings calculated from the figures for the first quarter of the financial year 2006-7 include £975m by reducing variation in length of hospital stays; £510m by reducing use of beds before operations; £348m by reducing emergency admissions; and £278m by reducing variation in outpatient referralA life-saving business
It can be easy to forget that healthcare is big business and can be as much about financial and political interests as it is the practice of sound medicine. This is especially the case with Public Health.

Internal Billing Versus Outsourced Medical Billing
by Carl Mays II The choice to outsource your medical billing can yield substantially better results than the choice to keep billing in-house. Why? Because a properly structured outsourced billing relationship insures that the medical billing company succeeds by making you succeed.
