National Interprofessional Healthcare Month continues as Joseph Zorek, PharmD, BCGP, FNAP shares another panel from our work together.
'Shocking', from which this panel was pulled, was one of our earliest stories-- the 8th or 9th, out of 35, I believe.
It's one of my favorites, as it's very beautifully succinct.
Here, Joe and his team wrote a script that highlighted a situationally unique crisis: one that threw the readers right into the mix, without causing any sort of confusion. Throughout the story, we were able to find a really nice harmony between the words on the page and the visuals, and I fondly look back upon that success.
If you're curious to see this story in full, (as well as the rest of the stories that Joe has been showcasing) read his full post below for the name of his book, and seek it out!

On AMA’s Obstruction to Healthcare Progress: “In 2023 alone, the AMA obstructed more than 100 bills aimed at expanding access to care and modernizing healthcare laws. This obstructionism is not merely a setback but a significant barrier to addressing the pressing challenges within our healthcare delivery system.”

This video is so revealing and true!!! Education about the healthcare system and the business of medicine is so lacking in medical school curricula. That’s why there is today such a disconnect between people practicing medicine and the myriad of other professionals “managing” healthcare #healthcareeducation#medicalschoolcurriculum

Certificate of Need (CON) is a regulatory mechanism employed by numerous states within the United States to oversee the establishment and expansion of healthcare facilities and services. Originally designed to prevent the overbuilding of hospitals and medical facilities, the scope of CON has broadened to include community-based care, such as home health and home care agencies.
