Are Hospitals Responsible for What Doctors Say?

January 16, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

The question’s important because it wasn’t long ago that doctors couldn’t say much. They could publish only in filtered places where the barrier to publication was high. Now publication is a button (credit Clay Shirky). You can’t control what someone publishes any more than you can control what they say. And with the immediacy and availability of modern ...

5 Reasons Hospital Administrators Should be Visible on Social Media

August 22, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

I caught this picture in my Twitter stream not long ago. It shows some of the leadership of the Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus in Katy, Texas donning flag capes in preparation for an late shift employee town hall.

Seven Things to do with Patient Experience Data

August 4, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

July 17, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

Hospital workers are caught up in the Pokemon Go craze and it's begun to raise concerns. Between rooming patients it seems there's just enough time to snag a Vaporeon. Some health care facilities have shut it down amidst concerns that selfies and snapshots risk the transmission of PHI. While Pokemon Go raises new challenges around privacy, the greater challenge ... Continue Reading about Pokemon Go and Medical Mindfulness

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 ...
