Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 It is an unfortunately easy mistake to make – thinking that only big integrated systems like Kaiser, Geisinger, et al can do this work very well. The big systems are gathering data and have the resources to dedicate to research, publication, and improvement. I don’t want to detract from the good work these groups have done and are doing, but to make the point that solo and small practices can do this as well and can do it very well indeed, and without a big hierarchical organization can make decisions quickly and improve more quickly (when it chooses to do so). was at the DC meeting this week and we talked for a bit after. She’s very interested in learning more about us, so I look forward to further conversation. Gordon From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of mkcl6@...

The guest was a journalist named Brownlee who talked about her book Overtreated. She made lots of great points regarding drug use and creation of illness because we have something to treat it wit etc.. But the disturbing part was that her conclusion is we have a problem with healthcare DELIVERY, not reimbursement and the best way to handle healthcare reform is to pay big companies like Kaiser, Mayo, Cleveland clinic enough to have all healthcare delivered by giant systems like Kaiser now. YIKES!! I am concerned people will listen to her! Here is a link to the website talking about the guest today. http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahandfriends/moz/20081212_oaf_moz Kris Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.
