The paper, by authors affiliated with the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), summarizes how
board certification is related to quality, reveals that the public views certification as an essential marker of
physician quality, and describes how certification is becoming more comprehensive. The authors
conclude that board certification should be among the key evidence-based measures used to pursue
physician quality improvement.

2016 Survey of US Physicians: Physician awareness, perspectives, and readines...Deloitte United States
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) is a Medicare payment law intended to drive health care payment and delivery system reform for clinicians, health systems, Medicare, and other government and commercial payers. Deloitte’s 2016 Survey of US Physicians sought to shed light on physicians’ awareness of MACRA, their perspectives on its implications, and their attitudes and readiness for change. The survey found that many physicians are unaware of MACRA. Regardless of their awareness level, most physicians surveyed would have to change aspects of their practice to meet the law’s requirements and to do well under its incentives. Many physicians surveyed recognize they will need to bear increased financial risk (under MACRA and in general) and need support and resources to develop the capabilities do so. http://www.deloitte.com/us/macra?id=us:2sm:3ss:macra:eng:lshc:071216
Case Study 1
GROUP 2
Derek Yach, senior vice president for global health policy
at PepsiCo, is assembling a team of “idealistic scientists
to find alternatives to Doritos.”These physicians and
researchers with doctorate degrees, many of whom have
built their reputations at places like the Mayo Clinic, the
World Health Organization, and like-minded organizations,
are tasked with creating healthier options by “making the
bad stuff less bad.” (p. 367)
Suppose that you were put in charge of
this elite team. How would you lead it?
THE CASE STUDY:
Structured around GROUP EFFORT
Have group LEADERS and STATUS
Have each group be designed a specific TASK. (I.E: Health Statistics, Differences in Doritos versus other chips, etc)
Give each group a different set of goals
Use GROUP DECISION MAKING for all the decisions we make
Group SIZE affects performance and satisfaction
Small groups are faster at completing tasks than are larger ones
Work will be decided on together
Mostly using TASK GROUPS - groups will have a specific job.
We will then have CROSS-FUNCTIONING TEAMS - we will bring together skills and research from all the groups and have discussion on each days developments
We will EVALUATE the research and developments of the day to make SPECIFIC PLANS for the next day
Have a DISCUSSION with each team at the end of the day to see what they
struggled with.
performance and satisfaction
TEAMWORK
Group 1:
Find which ingredients are causing the most harm in the human body
Identify the decision criteria of ingredients and allocate weights to the criteria
Find out what is the most harmful aspects of doritos
Group 2
Find and develop alternative ingredients to replace the most problematic ingredients and then analyze it.
Focus Specifically on: lowering calories, fat content, carbs, and sodium without diminishing the taste.
Group 3
Decipher and analyze the information from the first two groups
Select alternatives and implement those for evaluation
What Would Our Groups Do?
What did you accomplish?
What are the health benefits of any current developments?
What changes need to be made?
How can we execute those changes in a proficient manner?
What could we do differently tomorrow to make sure that we are working efficiently?
Is your team working well together? why or why not?
END OF THE DAY QUESTIONS?
Group: two or more interacting interdependent individuals who come together to achieve specific goals
Leaders: someone who can influence others and who has managerial authority
Status: a prestige grading, position, or rank within a group
Task: work that is done or undertaken
Group Decision Making: individuals collectively make a choice from the alternatives before them
Size: affects performance and satisfaction, but the effect depends on what the group is supposed to accomplish. Research indicates, for instance, that small groups are faster at completing tasks than are larger ones ...

CLINICAL INVESTIGATION
American Geriatrics Society 2019 Updated AGS Beers Criteria®
for Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults
By the 2019 American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria® Update Expert Panel*
The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) Beers Criteria®
(AGS Beers Criteria®) for Potentially Inappropriate Medica-
tion (PIM) Use in Older Adults are widely used by clini-
cians, educators, researchers, healthcare administrators, and
regulators. Since 2011, the AGS has been the steward of the
criteria and has produced updates on a 3-year cycle. The
AGS Beers Criteria® is an explicit list of PIMs that are typi-
cally best avoided by older adults in most circumstances or
under specific situations, such as in certain diseases or con-
ditions. For the 2019 update, an interdisciplinary expert
panel reviewed the evidence published since the last update
(2015) to determine if new criteria should be added or if
existing criteria should be removed or undergo changes to
their recommendation, rationale, level of evidence, or
strength of recommendation. J Am Geriatr Soc 00:1–

explicit list of PIMs that are typically best avoided by older
adults in most circumstances or under specific situations,
such as in certain diseases or conditions.
For the 2019 update, an interdisciplinary expert panel
reviewed the evidence published since the last update
(2015) to determine if new criteria should be added or if
existing criteria should be removed or undergo changes to
their recommendation, rationale, level of evidence, or
strength of recommendation. Each of the five types of cri-
teria in the 2015 update were retained in this 2019 update:
medications that are potentially inappropriate in most older
adults, those that should typically be avoided in older
adults with certain conditions, drugs to use with caution,
drug-drug interactions, and drug dose adjustment based on
kidney function.
OBJECTIVES
The specific aim was to update the 2015 AGS Beers Criteria®
using a comprehensive, systematic review and grading of the
evidence on drug-related problems and adverse events in
older adults. The strategies to achieve this aim were to:
• Incorporate new evidence on PIMs included in the 2015 AGS
Beers Criteria® and evidence regarding new criteria or modifi-
cations of existing criteria being considered for the 2019
update.
• Grade the strength and quality of each PIM statement based on
the level of evidence and strength of recommendation.
• Convene an interdisciplinary panel o ...
