Do more with less. Run lean. Cut costs. Thrive in change. These expressions and sayings have been said so many times over the last decade that they've become healthcare clichés. "Efficiency" and "good for the bottom line" tend to be synonymous with layoffs, downsizing, and other strategies that aren't exactly people friendly, but one hospital CFO says that done right, efficiency works in everyone's favor.

The 2017 Edelman Trust Barometer global study shows that employees trust their direct mangers more than organizational leaders. Direct managers are viewed as more trustworthy and unbiased, and more likely to listen to workers' concerns. The study is based on the idea of "trust transfer," which it says occurs when people use their trust in familiar situations to weigh their trust in unfamiliar circumstances.

Fierce Healthcare
More patients, some of them elderly, are leaving the hospital against medical advice despite the risks. When patients discharge themselves from the hospital against their doctor’s recommendation, most organizations will ask the patients to sign a form that acknowledges that they understand and assume medical and legal risks. However, the situation can get adversarial and is happening more frequently.

Use of telemedicine is exploding in California and other states as insurers increasingly cover tests and treatment overseen from afar.

Health systems are eager to learn about better ways to deliver care. This requires innovation — doing something differently from how it is currently done. In a recent article, Elizabeth McGlynn and Mark McClellan noted that innovations often fail to meet expectations, particularly when they are spread from the initial site that piloted the innovation.

Hospitals that spend more on initial care following patient emergencies see better outcomes than those that spend less at first and rely more on other forms of long-term care, according to a new study from researchers at MIT. Specifically, hospitals that invest more in inpatient care get better results per dollar spent, as opposed to those that assign a higher percentage of patients to skilled nursing facilities when they're discharged.
