March 28, 2017 – – The site rejseråd.dk went online last year in Denmark with the purpose of providing the Danes with knowledge of the most popular travel destinations in the world.

“Even though we are a new site on the market, people have reacted positive[ly] to our site, and we see a massive usage of our search engine and we are definitely expecting to increase the knowledgebase on our site,” claims Mohammad Dadkhah.

The founder, Mohammad Dadkhah of Klikko ApS, states that the site has been up and running for almost a year and they see a clear trend from the Danes. Former popular travel destinations such as Egypt and Tunisia, which used to generate a lot of interest from Danes in general, is at a low now.

But what is more interesting is the development on the searches for Turkey.

“What is most surprising is that it seems like the Danes are turning their backs on Turkey now,” says Dadkhah.

And this is the reason: “It’s interesting to see that the different unfortunate episodes in Turkey didn’t impact the searches on our site for Turkey and it’s popular destinations, but the recent comments and feud between Turkey and Holland/Germany seems to have made a severe impact. The Danes don’t appreciate the politics by the Turkish leader and it seems like they want to react by boycotting travels to Turkey.”

Mohammad Dadkhah also confirms that they are seeing a spike on the searches for Spain and Italy, which are becoming more popular. He says, “Well the Danes love to travel, so a feud between Turkey and Netherlands or Germany is not going to get them to cancel their vacation completely; but it seems like they are relying more on the traditional travel destinations such as Spain and Italy. We definitely see a massive increase in searches for information about Spain and Italy.”

March 28, 2017 – – Fort Walton Beach, Fla. – Highly-experienced personal injury lawyer, Terence Gross of Gross & Schuster, P.A, recently spoke over the WCOA Radio Show on how judicial activism is affecting the country.

With the election finished, plenty of individuals feel the need to voice their concerns over the state of legislation in the US. Some result to judicial activism, an issue that will become more and more relevant as our country continues to deviate from our origins. Modern judicial activism stems from a disagreement over laws first introduced after our country’s founding. The personal injury lawyer in Fort Walton Beach, FL, claims that these disagreements only end with an even more dilapidated justice system.

Gross said, “A lot of judicial activism comes from the heads of office arguing over how to discern our constitution. Some believe the documents should be strictly adhered to while others believe in a rougher translation.”

Sometimes lawmakers put their personal political agenda above constitutional legislation. This causes political discord, as it shoves an opinion over the federal law of the land.

The reason this type of activism remains such a prominent topic, is because our constitution did not take into account the changes the world would undergo. For example, our founding fathers did not know automobiles would exist, let alone how to classify them as an extension of property. However judicial activism shouldn’t always be a negative term. Some activism aims to better pre-existing laws. The car accident lawyer in Fort Walton Beach, FL, expresses that the goal of activism should be to unite the country, not divide it.

“It’s hard to get two politicians to agree on anything,” Gross said. “Our focus should be on mending wounds and preventing further conflicts.”

March 28, 2017 – – Valerie Schlitt, owner of VSA, Inc. was invited to speak to the Camden County Rotary Club about economic and business trends. It’s been over 14 years since her last speech to the Rotary back in 2003 when her fledgling business was just two years old.

VSA, Inc. is a lead generation firm and sales support agency. Its staff of callers, called Client Associates, make telephone calls and send emails to companies across the country to set sales appointments for VSA’s clients. When it began in 2001, VSA had two employees. Today, it employs over 60 part-time callers and five full-time managers. Over the years, it has carved out a niche of high-end companies who need help filling their sales funnels but don’t want to invest in building their own lead generation and appointment setting team.

For the talk, Valerie used the data she has gathered from trends in her own business, as well as trends she has observed from her client base.

“It’s important that companies and organizations understand the landscape of the current business world. This is information that not only helps them remain relevant, but also provides a necessary context from which they can make decisions regarding their future growth,” says Valerie Schlitt, owner and founder of VSA, Inc.

The five business and economic trends Ms. Schlitt centered her talk around are as follows:

1. The Internet and the cloud have streamlined data management and sharing for all businesses, large and small, and are here to stay.
2. The healthcare industry is growing, and any changes in regulation will spur even more growth. Companies in this industry have enormous growth potential, regardless of the state of the economy.
3. This is an excellent time to start your own business. New technologies and the ability to outsource vital services such as IT, marketing, and HR help entrepreneurs lower costs and leverage experts in a way that enables them to grow and deliver for their clients.
4. The labor market has completely changed and finding good employees is a challenge all businesses face. This new trend drives up starting salaries so it is important that businesses build this into their budget.
5. Due to the technological strides in data capacity and capability, the sales process and, in turn, the sales profession itself has changed forever. “No more 3 martini lunches,” as Ms. Schlitt aptly puts it. Now, it’s all about metrics and return on investment and it starts with finding qualified leads.

March 28, 2017 – PHILADELPHIA – Today the ABIM Foundation, Costs of Care, and the Leapfrog Group announce winners of the Creating Value Challenge, a competition aimed at recognizing innovative ideas and projects for teaching and implementing high-value health care among collaborative teams of clinicians, educators, quality improvement specialists, and health system administrators.

From the 83 submissions received, a panel of nationally recognized judges selected four winners:

Creating Value winners focused on implementing high-value care in clinical practice:

Linking Quality and Costs – Team-based, Physician-led Care Redesign for Top 50 Medical Conditions using Value-Driven Outcomes: University of Utah Health Care initiated an enterprise-wide effort to improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs by building a tool to manage, analyze, and report data, called Value-Driven Outcomes. This tool allows clinicians and managers to analyze actual system costs and outcomes at many levels, including by individual encounters, department, physician, diagnosis, and procedure. Physicians are provided information about quality and costs of care to help them identify value improvement opportunities, areas where their care delivery may vary significantly from their peers, and ways they could redesign care.

Prevention prescription: Rami Farraj, MD, Chairman of the Royal Health Awareness Society and an internist at the King Hussein Medical Center in Jordan shared a simple yet effective project that advocates for primary care physicians to write a “prescription” for their patients to attend interactive awareness sessions before their next appointment. During these sessions patients learn new skills to empower them to live healthy lifestyles and avoid chronic diseases.

Teaching Value winners focused on improving medical education curricula around delivering high-value care:

Radiology-TEACHES: (Technology Enhanced Appropriateness Criteria Home for Education Simulation): Over 20% of imaging studies in the US have been estimated to be unnecessary, creating cost, quality, and safety consequences for patients . However, it is difficult to address this issue once clinicians are in practice within the existing health care system. Recognizing that medical education curricula often lack evidence-based guidance regarding appropriateness and cost of imaging examinations, radiologists at Baylor College of Medicine partnered with the American College of Radiology and the National Decision Support Company to create Radiology-TEACHES (Technology Enhanced Appropriateness Criteria Home for Education Simulation). This online portal simulates the process of ordering imaging studies with integrated clinical decision support. Learners receive this evidence-based feedback at the virtual point of order entry, thereby better understanding appropriate imaging utilization and empowering them to reduce waste.

Engaging students in Educational and Practice Transformation: High-Value and Person Centered Care Taught Through Virtual Families: Eastern Virginia Medical School implemented a new curriculum, called CareForward, using a virtual community of culturally-diverse families to bring reality-based clinical scenarios to life. Through their stories, students learn the primary determinants of health outcomes, including socioeconomic factors, health literacy, social support, and other non-clinical determinants of health. They also learn how to deliver patient- and family-centered, cost-conscious, high-value care informed by the unique needs of the elderly, those with multiple chronic conditions, and a host of social determinants of health such as access to healthy food and safe neighborhoods. By learning about health and disease in the context of (virtual) people’s lives, students engage in improving health outcomes rather than blaming patients.

Honorable mention:

Use of Simulation to Assess Incoming Interns’ Recognition of Opportunities to Choose Wisely: While many graduate medical education programs incorporate simulations and safety training, the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine modified its “Room of Horrors” simulation to also train interns about avoiding low-value care. The simulation addressed four areas of health care overuse articulated by Choosing Wisely® specialty society recommendations, including arbitrary blood transfusions despite stable hemoglobin and unnecessary use of restraints. This first-of-its-kind simulation involves 125 interns, representing 60 medical schools and 13 specialties.

“For the third year in a row we challenged American health care workers to create and teach new ways of providing better care at lower cost,” said Neel Shah, MD, Founder and Executive Director of Costs of Care. “This year’s submissions represent the depth of the challenges we face, as well as the scope of what is possible when the ingenuity and dedication of those on the frontlines of healthcare delivery are brought to the fore.”

Leah Binder, CEO of The Leapfrog Group, offered a special congratulations to health systems that contributed five or more submissions to the Challenge. “Just as we recognize health systems that excel, we also were gratified to see organizations that appear to be on a tireless journey of improvement, with one project after another leading them to even greater achievements in quality and efficiency,” Ms. Binder said.

The institutions in alphabetical order were:
Crozer Chester Medical Center (Pennsylvania)
Greenville Health System (South Carolina)
Johns Hopkins (Maryland)
Michigan Medicine (formerly University of Michigan Health System, Michigan)
University of Chicago (Illinois)
University of Utah (Utah)
VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System (Michigan)

“Congratulations to the Creating Value Challenge winners, and thank you to all who entered for aspiring to making health care better and inspiring us with your ideas,” said Richard J. Baron, MD, President and CEO of the ABIM Foundation. “It is incumbent upon us as clinicians to provide the best possible care to our patients, and sometimes that means we stop doing the things we know won’t help them get better. The winning projects are outstanding examples of how we can improve the way we teach and practice medicine so that doing the right thing becomes the easy thing.”

A panel of national health care leaders served as judges for this year’s Creating Value Challenge:
Ceci Connolly, CEO, Alliance of Community Health Plans
Sachin Jain, MD, CEO, Caremore Health System
Michael Millenson, President, Health Quality Advisors
Rita Redberg, MD, Editor-in-Chief, JAMA Internal Medicine
Clay Johnston, MD, PhD, Dean, Dell Medical School, University of Texas-Austin

The Creating Value Challenge builds on the ABIM Foundation’s Choosing Wisely® campaign, a national effort in partnership with Consumer Reports that encourages clinicians and patients to have conversations about avoiding unnecessary tests and treatments. Health care professionals from any discipline and level of training were invited to participate in the Creating Value Challenge and submit short abstracts that described either a project they had already implemented or an idea for a project they believe could have promise in delivering better care at a lower cost. Winners will be recognized and present their projects at the Association of American Medical Colleges Integrating Quality (AAMC IQ) meeting June 8-9, 2017 near Chicago.
