Simulated Patient from the First Hour
ASPE
The pool of simulated patients at Maastricht Medical School (Skillslab, FHML, Maastricht, The Netherlands) recently said goodbye to a friend who retired this year after serving as an SP since 1976. (Incidentally, she holds the world record for the number of roles played as an SP). Because she contributed so much to our teaching and operations for so many years, we have officially named one of our SP rooms in her honor. The "Mrs. Berthie Hamelers" room bears a plaque to display this tribute. I asked her to tell her story to ASPE members through ASPE News and she was gracious enough to do so. Here is her story.

Finding people has never been easier, but recruiting has never been harder
Talent Management
This should come as no surprise to recruiters, but the number of candidates applying to each open position has increased many times over in recent years. As highlighted in research from the 2013 Candidate Experience Awards, employers today receive an average of 101 to 150 applications for each job opening. And while this steady increase in candidates should, in theory, make it easy for recruiters to find the best applicants for their companies, the opposite is often true.

The importance of patient-centered care in preventing deaths
D Magazine
The rise of medical homes and accountable care organizations place more responsibility on the caregiver to ensure the patient lives healthy once they leave the office. There are more educational classes, more of a push for smoking cessation, more options for consulting and support groups. Plus, technology has improved markedly in such a small time; it's as simple as being able to receive follow-up material in an email instead of in a stack of papers.
Cybersecurity: How to navigate threats in your healthcare organization
By Maria Frisch
 The network is down. Someone from accounting just spammed the entire practice. An outsider gains access to protected health information within electronic health records. Someone erases critical operational data. Many of us have both experienced and feared these scenarios, along with other threats to security. In this increasingly digital age, what can healthcare organizations do to protect themselves against cyberthreats?
