WASHINGTON — Federal health regulators are allowing a U.S. medical supply company to import saline solution from its Spanish plant to address a national shortage of the hospital staple.
The Food and Drug Administration announcement is the latest effort to increase U.S. supplies of the salt solution, which is used to rehydrate hospital patients and assist in the delivery of drugs
work” from reading the article. It sounds very strange and all these folks, advocates, industry representatives, and regulators have to be involved in the process. I don’t know about you but the average patient I don’t think is too concerned here or want to be other than being educated on the device they are using or have implanted. That part is very important and we do it now. 
impact it has on families. They sound like a good candidate for ICD10 risk pools so they don’t anyone else back. Again I hear all the companies and profitable hospitals complaining but if it’s an all in, don’t you think efforts would go out to pool revenue and brings the others into the fold if they are having financial issues? 
might be living under a rock to have not read about the declining revenue of news paper medias. They are looking to replace what they have lost. I think it’s a crying shame that all the cash rich companies don’t spent some serious money with papers. Why, because news media moves their stocks and they need news feeds so what’s the deal here, starve off the media so the rest of us get left with “click bait” quality articles out there? We appreciate good journalism as consumers and don’t want it to go away. 
in the past have written some of that code, and then we hear “bliss” like this. I guess we are back to “if I don’t acknowledge it, it doesn’t exist. Example in the image to right, do you believe in “perfect handshakes”? Some folks do as they can’t separate virtual and real world values.

“hospital inequality” 
lots of folks that can do it here and UCLA is not on the “desperate hospital” list either. There was no arrangement to have to create a plaque so no issues there. 
doctor and you know what, I don’t average MD has time to even look, but rather focuses on the patient they are caring for as that’s what matters. Sure if there’s some spare time they might look around but again correct me if I missed something here on the communality stats..just more of the same drilling stats down for folks to read. 
trusting of HHS and CMS right now? 
the other day that relates to coding and billing and now that electronic medical records are using SNOMED terminology in the “patient problem lists” that opens up yet another area for insurers to scrutinize and potentially use as a reason for denying a claim as more and more insurers are comparing every last detail on every claim. You can than the extensive analytics they use for that.
implement a new system and I am also somewhat guessing this is software that was brought in to work in harmony with the VA medical records system Vista. We have layers of software today that we work with and making them all work together for the end result of better outcomes is a challenge. When I read about the “secret” waiting list it some what says that these were patients that were in some kind of a limbo stage somewhere along the line.
world values. 
disturbs me, the perceptions and the mention of “systems” over and over and her “perception” of the problem. Meanwhile back at the ranch, the Office of the Inspector General is looking at “the real world” here with the bottom lines with patient safety and care. I wrote about this topic quit a bit with the implementation of “Healthcare.Gov” too in the fact that instead of sometimes looking at what was going on in the “real world” we just kept getting numbers over and over and over about how many had enrolled. 
they had voiced complaints about the anesthesiologists talking on their cell phones during surgery. I heard that years ago and if they were to be whistleblowers, they wouldn’t be working today and it took years to get a situation like that resolved as it involved a long series of reports, getting a new group of anesthesiologists possibly, disciplinary action, etc. So being a whistle blower is not an easy choice either. 
A few months ago when I moved and had FIOS installed, the tech said it was “mandatory” that he install the software on my computer to control my router…lol..right. I wasn’t born yesterday. First thing I did was disable it and take it off the start up with Windows. I just corrupted it for the most part. 
through as the taxes have already been fraudulently filed. One of doctors mentioned in the article was for a refund of less than $100 so why even bother is a question I would ask on that thief but who knows maybe it was one of many. The thief must have found one of those doctors getting paid less than Medicare from insurers:)
and women. A guard opened up fire and a nurse was also injured in the attack. He was the guard that had been hired to protect the doctors. 
of the issues is to go to a television stations and blast it all over the place. This man tried to save an accident victim and received burns in the process and had to be hospitalized and then Aetna with some algorithmic claim process denied it. Remember these are all mathematical formulas now that dissect each individual part of a bill down to the very bottom. 
of stretchers throughout the day as if he was welcoming long-lost friends. Other doctors came around so they could witness it for themselves. The occasion was so moving that Dr. Steven Hofstetter, a surgeon, felt that one Yiddish expression for feeling pride was not enough. So he used two.
reporting has taken over. This not only exists at the VA but everywhere your turn today as people can’t tell the difference anymore between “virtual” and “real” world values. Any mathematician or quant will tell you about this and as a matter of fact watch the videos in my footer here to get a better idea on how this works. Furthermore at the link below, and this may be a bit advanced for the average reader, is a written abstract that basically discusses how using analytics and numbers for solutions and expecting some type of ethical concerns is just not there. This is where the lines is drawn where you have to be careful in where and how you get distracted at times, and we all have to do this under various circumstances. 
formulas that score you. Today when laws are created they are attached to some kind of technology which means automation will run the processes on servers 24/7. I don’t care how far they go and another abstract confirms my thoughts too that machines don’t and won’t have ethics. Sure they can respond a programmed which they learn by patterns but that’s as far as they go. The abstract is pretty interesting as a software engineers tries his best to substantiate doing it, but doesn’t work.
