The physical exam splits into parts, and each goes remote at its own pace

The physical exam splits into parts, and each goes remote at its own pace

One weak link in virtual physical exams is patient technique, since home readings depend on how patients take them.

  • 01Charting what a patient could not do for lack of home equipment is part of the exam record, and federal telehealth guidance ties that documentation to coding and billing.
  • 02Remote exams fit best where home data already accumulates: a week of home blood pressure readings or continuous glucose data shows what a single office reading cannot.

Healthcare staff judge leadership values by decisions, not statements

Healthcare leaders are judged by their actions and accessibility, not their stated values. Dr. David Schreiner argues that a leader’s legacy rests mostly on how people experienced working for them, while still recognizing financial performance matters. He also urges clearer priorities, visible leadership presence, and stronger succession planning.

  • 01Healthcare employees assess leadership values primarily through decisions made rather than statements.
  • 02Trust in leadership is gained when there is alignment between stated values and actual organizational decisions.

TotalCare's monthly mock codes paid off in a real code blue

TotalCare's monthly mock codes paid off in a real code blue

TotalCare runs a monthly mock code at each of its freestanding Metroplex emergency rooms, trains BLS, ACLS and PALS in house at no cost to staff, and plans to seek ANCC accreditation so its classes count toward the 20 contact hours Texas requires of nurses. Its ER clinical director credits the drills for a recent code blue the team ran flawlessly.

  • 01Every TotalCare emergency room in the Metroplex now runs a mock code every month, and a physician credited the drills in a text after a recent real code blue.
  • 02ANCC accreditation, which TotalCare is pursuing so its classes can offer contact hours Texas accepts for license renewal, carries a $4,950 first-time application fee effective January 1, 2026, and requires at least six months of compliance before applying.
  • 03A study in an American Heart Association journal found that top hospitals for cardiac arrest survival practiced on a fixed schedule and had responsive leadership, and that the near-universal availability of BLS and ACLS training is unlikely to be sufficient on its own.
