The most important element of this change has been to align responsibility with authority at the divisional level, mimicking the relationship of Dean to Chair, at the departmental level between Chair and Chief. The Department has now gone through an extensive financial reporting redesign, engaging and achieving buy-in at all levels of the institution, which has dramatically reduced the complexity of the financial analyses and reporting for the Department and Divisions, separating operating activities from programmatic activities. These financial philosophies are a direct result of some of our improved clinical and research metrics. The Department has continued to improve our patient care documentation. In addition to improving care, our department work RVU increased 5.4% over the prior year which is a reflection of the increased Clinical FTE. The Collection per work RVU increased over 6% from FY10. Our research and contract total awards have consistently topped $30 million for the last 5 years (includes extramural awards received by DoIM Faculty in the UNM Cancer Center, UNM Center for Infectious Diseases, and Department faculty located at Albuquerque VA Medical Center). F&A generated on external funding increased over 8% from prior year. Faculty salaries on extramural sources held constant in from the prior year, less than a percent change without institutional-wide salary increases. The Department continues to carefully manage its resources, and achieved a Use of Reserves by transferring $1.5M to the UNM Foundation earmarked to begin funding an Endowed Chair. The Department also put an additional $2.5M in UNMMG Reserves from Clinical operations. This then lead to a reduction in our Reserves in FY11 coming into FY12. Thirty-nine UNM physicians were selected by their peers as 2010-11 “Top Docs” in the Albuquerque The Magazine. The following physicians were recognized in their field within the Department of Internal Medicine: Drs. Sanjeev Arora, Arthur Bankhurst, George Comerci, Carla Herman, Patti Kapsner, Susan Kellie, Robert Leverence, Edward Libby, Ian Rabinowitz, Bill Sibbitt, and Ann Simpson. The UNM School of Medicine has achieved a reputation for innovation, quality, and leadership in medical education. The Medical Education Scholars (MES) Program was established to ensure a continuum of educational leadership at UNM SOM. Each year, up to 10 faculty from the School of Medicine are selected from applicants to the MES Program. Participants develop their academic leadership skills and educational expertise in the two- year MES Program. 1 2010 Class of Medical Education Scholars from Internal Medicine: Michel Boivin, M.D. Devon Neale, M.D. Leonard Noronha, M.D. Elizabeth McGuire, M.D. Section Chief at Veterans Administration Medical Center has been elected to a two-year term as a board member of the Board of Directors’ of the New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance (NMCCA). The UNM Division of Geriatrics, within the UNM School of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine, recently received a $1M dollar grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation to strengthen physicians’ geriatrics training. The grant was one of ten awarded nationally by the foundation. The awards were limited to institutions that have already demonstrated success in geriatrics physician training. The current awards represent the new phase of grantmaking under the Foundation’s Aging and Quality of Life program. This new initiative was designed to support additional ways to fill the continued need to train physicians in the care of older patients and reward the hard work and accomplishments of successful grantees from the first two cohorts that have already completed their initial projects. For 14 years, UNM Philip Zager, M.D. and Raj Shah, M.D. have worked together on the Zuni Kidney Project, gathering volumes of genetic, health and environmental data to combat the pueblo’s soaring rate of kidney disease. The final phase – developing evidenced-based medical, cultural and educational interventions – has begun. - Obesity has reached epidemic proportions nationwide among children, adolescents and adults and is considered one of the most serious health problems facing Americans today. It is more prevalent among ethnic minority groups and those with a low family income. - Supported by the National Institutes of Health’s IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence, INBRE, project principal investigator Shah is developing a Translational Research plan acceptable to vital constituents with enough scientific rigors to continue support and provide meaningful results. The Zuni Health Initiative is community-based, participatory research conducting studies for educational and lifestyle interventions to create community engagement in modifying important behaviors. - The ultimate goal of the Zuni Health Initiative is to increase the spread and usage of effective, scientifically-vetted public health interventions so that the greatest health impact for an individual and community can be achieved with the greatest efficiency. - The aim is to eliminate health disparities of obesity and related chronic conditions in Zuni Indians by identifying and understanding the barriers and promoting a healthier lifestyleof exercise and nutritional interventions. The new Zuni fitness center is fully equipped, and will work with Zuni middle school children in prescribed exercise activities and one-on-one nutritional coaching. - At the opening of the fitness facility, Zuni Councilwoman Winona Pynesta said, “I’m so glad that you now have a facility to work out of. I’m sure the staff is excited to get started. I know I’m anxious to see the program start for the middle school kids.” The project

  • (Not) Visiting Isolation Hospitals in Mid-Victorian Britain
    7 Infection and Citizenship: (Not) Visiting Isolation Hospitals in Mid-Victorian Britain Graham Mooney Local authority provision for the sequestration of infectious people mushroomed in Great Britain from the mid-1860s. By the First World War, more than 750 isolation hospitals contained almost 32,000 beds for infectious patients, most of whom were children. Trips to an isolation hospital were problematic because visitors might contract infection there and spread it to the wider community. Various strategies sought to minimise this risk or eliminate it altogether. This chapter argues that the management of isolation hospital visitors was typical of Victorian public health’s tendency to regulate people’s behaviour. By granting rights to, and conferring responsibilities on, the relatives of patients, visiting practices enshrined notions of citizenship that sought to govern ‘through’ the family. The isolation of people with infectious disease has attracted an increasing amount of attention from historians. The fundamental rationales for the institutional exclusion of the infected – namely the protection of the wider population, the prevention or stamping out of an epidemic outbreak – are practically self-evident. Yet scrutiny in a variety of metropolitan and colonial contexts also reveals a set of practices that, over the course of the nineteenth century, seemingly were ever more laden with undertones of coercion, moral and physical rehabilitation and normalisation. The removal of biologically dangerous individuals from their community surroundings

  • Wisconsin Veterans Museum Research Center Transcript of an Oral History Interview with JAMES F. Mcintosh Surgeon, Navy, Korean
    Wisconsin Veterans Museum Research Center Transcript of an Oral History Interview with JAMES F. McINTOSH Surgeon, Navy, Korean War. 1997 OH 361 1 OH 361 McIntosh, James F., (1923- ). Oral History Interview, 1997. User Copy: 2 sound cassettes (ca. 120 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Master Copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 120 min.), analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Abstract McIntosh, an Edgerton (Wisconsin) native, details his medical schooling during World War II and subsequent Naval service during the Korean War. McIntosh discusses joining the V-12 program, the effects the program had on the University of Wisconsin, and receiving deferments. McIntosh speaks of deferments in essential industry and the year-round schooling. He talks about his duties as corpsman while assigned to Great Lakes Naval Hospital, his preceptorship in Sheboygan (Wisconsin), and his plastic surgery residence at Tulane (Louisiana) Charity Hospital (segregated at the time) before receiving orders to report to the USS Haven. McIntosh describes issues he had leaving residency at the Charity Hospital and reporting for duty. At one point he had received cancellation of orders; however, wanting to serve his two years, McIntosh ignored them and told his mother to say the orders arrived after his departure. McIntosh talks about the route to Korea and his impressions of the hospital ship and Korea. Describing the relationships between medical personnel and Navy ship command personnel, he tells several stories of how the medical staff would “rattle the ship captain’s cage.” McIntosh describes his ward, cooperation between the other wards, and how his medical decisions weren’t questioned by the “pompous ass” commanders.

  • A Night in Accident and Emergency
    34 spring-summer 2015/HesaMag #11 Special report 25/28 A night in Accident and Emergency Saint-Pierre University Hospital is the oldest hospital in Brussels. Located in one of the city’s most working-class neighbourhoods, Les Marolles, it occupies the site of a medieval leper colony. That social calling has lasted down the ages and is a key part of the institution’s identity. The hospital describes itself as ‘secular and social’ and is proud ‘to welcome all patients, regardless of their origin, philosophical or religious convictions, or social status’. We spent a night at Saint-Pierre, shadowing the hospital’s accident and emergency nurses. Denis Grégoire ETUI Photographs: Martine Zunini 35 spring-summer 2015/HesaMag #11 Special report 26/28 Wednesday, 11 February – 9.45 p.m. The staff working the afternoon shift hand over to the night team. The two teams are gathered together in a glass-walled room re- served for doctors and nursing staff, known as 'HQ'. They are huddled around a set of wooden pigeonholes containing various doc- uments about patients, such as requests from doctors to run tests. A nurse passes on the key information about the patients receiving treatment: 'In cubicle 3, there’s a gentleman we know well. He comes every three months. It’s extremely difficult to insert his drip.' 'In cubicle 4, we have a gentleman who has come in because he’s confused. He’s quite fretful and he’s pulled his drip out. He’s on vali- um,' … and so on. The night team takes over.

  • The Secret People: Patriotism, the Press, and Civil Rights in The
    THE SECRET PEOPLE: PATRIOTISM, THE PRESS, AND CIVIL RIGHTS IN THE NATIONAL LEPROSARIUM by MADELEINE PIERRON PATRICK UNDER THE DIRECTION OF ROBERT PRATT ABSTRACT This project studies patient-activism at United States Public Health Service Hospital 66, the National Leprosarium. The goal is to show how a diverse group of patients adopted mainstream American rhetoric and partnered with veterans’ groups in order to establish their own civil liberties and to diminish the stigma of their shared disease. The paper will show first how leprosy became a disease of national concern and regulation, and then how patients worked to dismantle the laws and rules that oppressed them and denied them their civil rights, while maintaining leprosy as an area for national interest.

    CHAPTER 4 Organization of Army Psychiatry, II: Hospital-Based Services and the Theater Psychiatric Leadership A frequent source of contention between [division] psychiatrists and the KO team involves patients who are seen as psychotic . in the division setting, but who present essentially characterologic problems [on] our ward. Problems potentially get worse because of the . fact that character disorders are not removed through medical channels in the Army. [W]e are [thus] left with a man who we feel is character disordered and cannot evacu- ate [from Vietnam] through medical channels with good conscience, but on the other hand [he is] a man whom [you] feel is psychotic and cannot be returned to duty with good conscience.

  • Devastating Epidemics in Recent Ages Greek Populations
    Pregledni rad Acta Med Hist Adriat 2017; 15(2);283-290 Review article DEVASTATING EPIDEMICS IN RECENT AGES GREEK POPULATIONS RAZARAJUĆE EPIDEMIJE GRČKE POPULACIJE U NOVIJE DOBA Antonia Kotsiou*, Vasiliki Michalaki**, Helen N. Anagnostopoulou*** Summary In the recent Greek ages the most devastating epidemics were plague, smallpox, leprosy and cho- lera. In 1816 plague struck the Ionian and Aegean Islands, mainland Greece, Constantinople and Smyrna. The Venetians ruling the Ionian Islands effectively combated plague in contrast to the Ottomans ruling all other regions. In 1922, plague appeared in Patras refugees who were expelled by the Turks from Smyrna and Asia Minor. Inoculation against smallpox was first performed in Thessaly by the Greek women, and the Greek doctors Emmanouel Timonis (1713, Oxford) and Jakovos Pylarinos (1715, Venice) made relevant scientific publications. The first leper colony opened in Chios Island. In Crete, Spinalonga was transformed into a leper island, which following the Independence War against Turkish occupation and the unification of Crete with Greece in 1913, was classified as an International Leper Hospital. Cholera struck Greece in 1853-1854 brought by the French troops during the Crimean War, and again during the Balkan Wars (1912-13) when the Bulgarian troops brought cholera to northern Greece. Due to successive wars, medical assistance was not always available, so desperate people turned many times to religion through processions in honor of local saints, for their salvation in epidemics. Keywords: devastating epidemics; Greece; recent ages. * Pharmacy Department, Medical School, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens – Aretaieio University Hospital, Athens, Greece. ** Oncology Unit, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens – Aretaieio University Hospital, Athens, Greece.
