Transparency and the Brigham and Women’s Hospital

October 20, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

There's an arms race for transparency in health care. Check out the Brigham and Woman’s Hospital in Boston. They made news by rolling over to publicly reveal a delayed cancer diagnosis. Call-out culture meets medicine in a showy display of clinical vulnerability. If you listen carefully you hear them hyperventilating at Propublica. As The Brigham and Women's makes ...

Weekend Medicine

January 20, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

It’s remarkable that hospitals still keep weekend schedules. On Saturday and Sunday, things stop.  They don’t stop, but they really do.  ORs operate with emergency staffing.
