On-Demand Interpretation Service Partnership Improving Efficiency, Patient Experience

Last spring, Brooke Small noticed that her typically active toddler was slowing down a bit and not eating as much. A visit to the pediatric cardiologist revealed that after years of waiting, the hole in Piper’s heart hadn’t closed on its own and was starting to cause damage to Piper’s heart. Much to her parents’ reluctance, it seemed inevitable that the toddler would need open-heart surgery to repair the defect. Then her pediatric cardiologist suggested an innovative, much less invasive procedure.

Even if you’re not familiar with the term hospitalist, you’ve likely met one. Hospitalists work as frontline physicians, subspecialists, practice leaders, C-suite executives and academic clinicians.

Throughout a woman’s life, she goes through many hormonal changes and cycles, from menstruating and bearing children to menopause later in life. While that’s a simple overview, the female reproductive system is quite complex, which means many issues can arise that often require some form of medical intervention. Endometriosis is one such issue. While diagnosis is challenging, there are many ways to improve the quality of life for those suffering from this common and sometimes-debilitating gynecological disorder.

Parents expecting a baby don’t imagine that he or she will be premature or ill and require special care from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). When this happens, an overwhelming flood of emotions, such as fear, anxiety, anger, sorrow, guilt and helplessness, overcome these parents. They are quickly introduced to the NICU, not knowing what to expect or what they can do to help their baby’s situation. Little do they know, there’s something simple, yet significant, they can do to participate in their baby’s well-being and development: read to them.

The right amount and type of nutrients are vital to premature babies and critically ill patients, such as newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

There are numerous considerations when providing proper nutrition for these patients.

Barry Bloom, M.D., estimates that he has cared for close to 30,000 babies in his 30-year career. He has also mentored hundreds of medical students and residents.
