@BgTalkinmanI have not read it, but published last year in CORR - but asked the question how satisfied are you. I wonder about the test retest reliability. #jhsjc

@BgTalkinmanI think definitions are less clear as some consider place and hold active, but not truly active, so I like their description #jhsjc

@BgTalkinmanI was surprised by the ruptures as well. They happen, but I am not sure why they would be more or less common in RCT #jhsjc

@BgTalkinmanI agree bundled payments can make a difference - but hospitals and physicians have to be more aligned and to this point, not many are. #jhsjc

Also, seems to be more interest in changing based on TV commercial and company marketing than a RCT - unfortunately #jhsjc

@BgTalkinmanI think it would need to be w direct expense out of patients pocket and even then, likely dependent on how MD presents options #jhsjc

@BgTalkinmanOnly conflict is they now share in expense and profit, so better for the to keep costs down - ie tension band #jhsjc

@BgTalkinmanWhile you can use as screening with telemedicine, that misses the exam part, which is still a component. So I think good enough for screening, but not definitive dx #jhsjc

While it would seem it should predict outcome as the article hypothesized, it was not as good as one might predict. Bud designed for diagnosis probability, so maybe we should not be surprised #jhsjc

And I am not saying you are wrong - I agree that over diagnosis can be a problem, but society as a whole doesn't seem to like that approach. #jhsjc

@BgTalkinmanHard to define equal - each program has its own personality, but ACGME has standards and all are accredited. So should provide adequate training #jhsjc

Doing cases in an ASC procedure room requires anesthesia buy in and they can feel they should bil for each case. #jhsjc
