"If patients had an accurate diagnosis and their physicians knew the root of their illness and could treat it effectively, then the medical care costs would go down.

"In many ways, internet of things (IoT) is a double-edged sword: connected devices are capturing huge volumes and varieties of data that can be mined for everything from potentially life-saving health care information to guidance toward peak athletic performance, but it is incredibly difficult to convert that raw data into truly meaningful and actionable insights."

"In the emergency department I treat patients based upon my expert judgment. I can explain to you the sensitivities and specificities of the tests I order, I can detail the physiology and pathology involved in my differential diagnoses, and I can explain the rationale for each part of my treatment plan. But despite my expert analysis, I can still miss important details. Did I get input from the family or the paramedics? The pharmacist noticed something in the past medical records that might be important, and the nurse thinks something else might be going on. Did I invite their opinions and listen to them?"

"EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy kicked off my personal transformation from a self-absorbed workaholic in an industry of (what I now view as) questionable merit into a human being making a positive contribution to the world and focused on helping others. EMDR helped me discover that my psychological struggles were the result of the trauma I had suffered as a child and that my traumatic memories had been buried long ago. I had constructed a sham persona to defend against (what I now know was) a deep-seated fear that I was worthless and unlovable." Michael Baldwin is a patient advocate.

"It seems too good to be true, but it is: physical activity improves every health outcome we can name. Note that some of those benefits arrive in the long term, some in the short.

"Building individual health equity starts with a commitment to price transparency. The current system favors a broader, value-based model that does not require individual fees for services. Resources are allocated based on outcomes and are dependent on complex and expensive data acquisition. In a direct pay model, the physician is accountable only to the patient.

"Over the years, I have mentored a lot of trainees. After discovering coaching and seeing my career transform after I started working with a coach, I have become a coach myself. I definitely use coaching techniques with my mentees, but the relationship I have with them is different from the one I have with my coaching clients. Coaching and mentorship are different but complementary approaches to moving your career forward. Potential clients often come to me expecting mentorship. My colleagues have also inquired about the difference between a mentor and a coach. While everyone's style is a bit different, and both approaches can co-exist in the same relationship, I am reflecting here on what represents coaching versus mentorship."

"Doctors with mental illness don't need more suicide awareness — we're aware. And we don't need confidential treatment opportunities.

"A good history and physical, including screening, can prevent consequences that burden a patient's daily life and increase health care costs. Assessing cardiovascular risk is a key part of the evaluation. Transgender individuals may have a compounded risk. Awareness and education for both the patient and the provider are vital. Currently and in the future, given the gender fluidity of society, we need to be aware and not make assumptions about a patient's gender. Finally, we cannot discount informed consent.

"If you are a physician, don't fall for the tall tales you have heard from people who do not know how to use their timeshare or were never good candidates to own one in the first place. Their mythical stories include: You must stay at the same place every year, the maintenance fees are too expensive, you can never trade for what you want, etc. Don't get your advice from someone who can't figure out how to use their timeshare. Learn what you need to know from those who are successfully doing what you want to do, inexpensively staying at great places with multi-room, upscale accommodations. They have the answers."

Searching for health information online can make women more informed health care consumers and better self-advocates, if they use credible health information to ask questions."

"While patients, the workforce, and key outcomes are way better off in a culture of safety, the process from toxic to healthy culture requires a challenging shift from relationships rooted in distrust to trusting ones. To ensure long-term meaningful change, leaders must steadfastly create a foundation of trust. An apology that acknowledges poor behaviors have occurred, are hurtful, and will not be tolerated will help build trust and open hearts and minds to new ways of being. It will also model ownership and create rich opportunities for listening. All are integral to healthy cultures." Beth Boynton is a nurse and consultant.
