Abstract

A community hospital reflects on changes made when implementing a collaborative practice theory. Using a philosophy that called both professional groups to "share and work together to provide thorough and consistent patient care," a successful joint practice was operational within a year.

The cost of a food-borne outbreak of hepatitis A in Denver, Colo.

BACKGROUND: In 1992, a food-borne outbreak of hepatitis A associated with a catering facility in Denver, Colo, resulted in 43 secondary cases of hepatitis A and the potential exposure of approximately 5000 patrons. OBJECTIVES: To assess (1) disease control costs, including state and local health department personnel costs, provision and administration of immune globulin, and cost of extra hepatitis A serologic tests performed; (2) business losses; and (3) cost of the cases' illnesses. METHODS: Cost data were collected from hospitals, health maintenance organizations, health departments, laboratories, the caterer's insurance company, and the catering facility involved in the outbreak. RESULTS: The total costs assessed in the outbreak from a societal perspective were $809,706. Disease control costs were $689,314, which included $450,397 for 16,293 immune globulin injections and $105,699 for 2777 hours of health department personnel time. The cases' medical costs were $46,064, or 7% of the disease control costs. CONCLUSIONS: The cases' medical costs and productivity losses were only a minor component of the total cost of this outbreak. The high cost of food-borne outbreaks should be taken into account in economic analyses of the vaccination of food handlers with inactivated hepatitis A vaccine.

Less is more: the case for "basic" psychiatry and the Colorado Medical Student Log.

Because of the rapid growth of our field, psychiatric educators are faced with two related questions. Are we teaching our students about too many things thereby making it difficult for them to discern our essential message(s)? And, two, have we really decided on what our essential message(s) actually is? The answer is "yes" to the former and "no" to the latter. The problem is deceptively simple: as distinct from what we teach, as a profession we have not yet parsed out the minimum we expect our students to really know-and really know how to do-by the time they graduate from our schools. We, therefore, developed the menu and method of the Colorado Medical Student Log which articulates the minimal educational goals for our students: ten core clinical experiences and ten core psychiatric screens. The log also provides an easy method by which we can be satisfied that our minimal goals are being met.
