“…For various hospital systems, this type of integration is openly challenged by the realities of competing hospital's payor-mix considerations. However, with the growing onslaught of hospital consolidation in the market, this has the potential to allow for greater coordination of resources [19].…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) resulted in a worldwide pandemic that at the time of this writing has caused over 400,000 deaths within the United States. During the pandemic surge in New York City, NY, a number of military Medical Corps (MC) and Nurse Corps (NC) providers were mobilized in direct support of critical care capabilities through expansion intensive care units. In the course of the deployment, high rates of neurological-related manifestations associated with COVID-19 infection were directly observed by our military provider teams which will be described and supporting literature highlighted. This is organic information absorbed in real time during the early stages of the pandemic in New York City. The neurological manifestations of COVID-19 varied in presentation and severity. Cerebral vascular injuries documented included strokes, iatrogenic intraparenchymal hemorrhage, hypoxia-related changes and sequelae, as well as acquired diseases secondary to delayed treatment of other primary neurologic disease states. Hypercoagulable and inflammatory markers (d-dimer, C-reactive protein, etc) were commonly elevated, and anticoagulation became a key factor in disease treatment and to help mitigate the downstream neurologic sequelae associated with this disease. Here we present these initial findings to lay the groundwork for more robust clinical studies moving forward.

Contract Negotiation for Neurosurgeons: A Practical Guide

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Contract negotiation is a reality in the career of any neurosurgeon. However, little formal training exists for physicians – including neurosurgeons – on potential techniques and strategies for conducting meaningful contract negotiation. Increasing numbers of neurosurgeons seek hospital employment for which an employment contract will be provided. During contract negotiation, it is likely that a young neurosurgeon will be in discussion with an experienced negotiator acting on behalf of a hospital, practice, or department. Understanding and adapting to this imbalance in experience and using basic negotiating techniques as a means of approaching and resolving key contract issues is critical for the neurosurgeon to maximize his or her value in the course of contract negotiation. Even without formal training in negotiation in residency, negotiation skills can be taught, practiced, and improved. In affiliation with the Medical Director's Ad-Hoc Representational Section of Council of State Neurosurgical Societies (CSNS) this article is intended to serve as a practical guide for contract negotiation. Contract basics, negotiation terms, strategies, unique neurosurgical issues, and value creation are explored.
