Abstract

Physicians and case managers are key stakeholders in the health care system. To foster collaboration between these occasionally opposing groups, the Case Management Society of America and Professional Resources in Management Education Inc. held a summit in Miami on April 4, 2003, to bring representatives from each group face to face. Attendees explored many barriers and opportunities involved in achieving and maintaining collaboration.

Episiotomy: beliefs, practice and the impact of educational intervention.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the potential effect of educational intervention on episiotomy practice. STUDY DESIGN: A survey of the attitude of obstetrical caregivers toward episiotomy was conducted among obstetricians and midwives in the three public hospitals in Haifa. Data regarding episiotomy rates was collected for the years 2001-2003. At the beginning of 2002, lectures on the risks and benefits of episiotomy were given in two hospitals. Episiotomy rates before and after the lecture were compared. RESULTS: A significant and lasting reduction in episiotomy rates was observed in the two hospitals where lectures were given. There were no clinically significant and consistent changes in the episiotomy practices in the third hospital. CONCLUSION: Education may play an important role in changing common medical practices, as in episiotomy. It was clearly shown that our beliefs are not always up to date. We call for periodic reassessment of all medical procedures, as common and accepted as they are.

Oncologists' opinions towards recommending exercise to patients with cancer: a Canadian national survey.

RATIONALE: The goal of this study was to examine oncologists' attitudes towards recommending exercise to patients with cancer during treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using a national survey, all 659 practicing medical and radiation oncologists in Canada were sent a brief questionnaire. RESULTS: The response rate was 46% (281/610). The majority of oncologists agreed that exercise was beneficial (62.0%), important (55.8%) and safe (63.1%) for patients with cancer during treatment. Forty-three percent of oncologists reported that they tried to recommend exercise to their patients when appropriate. Moreover, oncologists actually reported recommending exercise to 28% of their patients during the past month. Analyses also indicated significant differences between oncologists, with younger, female, and medical oncologists generally having more favorable attitudes towards exercise for patients with cancer than their older, male, and radiation oncology counterparts. CONCLUSIONS: Oncologists have a favorable attitude toward recommending exercise to patients with cancer although several important barriers may prevent oncologists from providing exercise advice to their patients. Further research is required evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and strategies designed to improve oncologists' confidence and ability to advise their patients on exercise during oncology consultations.

The pioneer cohort of curriculum reform: Guinea pigs or trail-blazers?

With curriculum reform, whether we admit it or not, the first cohort of students will be 'test-driving' the new programme. Not only are they the pioneers of a new curriculum, but as they progress through their studies, they experience each year of the innovation for the first time. As curriculum designers, we learn from their experiences and their feedback to improve the programme content and delivery, invariably for subsequent cohorts. A considerable onus therefore rests with this pioneer group, and their contribution to curriculum design, evaluation and programme revision should be valued.
