Kaiser Permanente, the California-based managed-care monolith, is in the initial stages of building its own medical school from scratch with the goal of overhauling the way the next generation of physicians is trained.
The healthcare giant also hopes to draw from a more diverse pool of aspiring medical students who will be indoctrinated in its integrated care model from the start.
It's an ambitious undertaking. The new campus will be based in Southern California and enroll between 40 and 50 students by fall 2019 once a dean and faculty are hired.

The way Health and Human Services Chief Technology Officer Susannah Fox sees it, the U.S. government totally missed the Internet boom and has been trying to catch up with ever since. "I would say gently that the government was caught flat footed when the Internet came about," she said. As a way of making sure it's better prepared for "the maker movement," it has launched Invent Health through the HHS Idea Lab.

ADVANCE for Laboratory Administrators
What do you call someone that works in a clinical lab? Medical laboratory science, clinical laboratory science, medical technology, biomedical laboratory science-all of those titles describe our profession. A nurse is simply a nurse, however. They get certified as a registered nurse so they can practice nursing. Unfortunately, lab professionals don't have the luxury of a streamlined title.

For years, researchers believed IgM, a protective type of antibody, played an insignificant role in Sjögren's syndrome. However, new research, led by University at Buffalo oral biology researcher Jill Kramer, aims to re-examine whether this seemingly harmless antibody is pathogenic, or capable of causing disease.

It may be possible to detect the early stages of Alzheimer's disease through urine odor, potentially leading to a non-invasive test for the most common form of dementia.
In a study published recently in Scientific Reports, researchers used an animal model to focus on changes to body odor caused by factors that originate outside the body, such as viruses and vaccines.

Researchers at Duke Health are fine-tuning a test that can determine whether a respiratory illness is caused by infection from a virus or bacteria so that antibiotics can be more precisely prescribed. The team of infectious disease and genomics experts at Duke has developed what they call gene signatures, patterns that reflect which of a patient's genes are turned on or off, to indicate whether someone is fighting infection from a virus or bacteria. Results can be derived from a small sample of the patient's blood.

 There's a big problem with duplicate patient records across the U.S., according to the American Health Information Management Association. The organization says the majority of health information management professionals routinely work to mitigate duplicate patient records with the patients they encounter. According to a recent survey, 72 percent face these troubles each week, while less than half said they have a quality assurance step in their registration process.
