Ray, Jr., MD, has been practicing general internal medicine for 10 years for Emory Healthcare, an 800 + physician system and part of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. What do you do for a living? My primary job is seeing patients at Emory Clinic, which in many ways is just a private practice. I see from 18 to 26 patients each day. My salary is based on how much I bill in clinic. We are encouraged but not required to participate in medical student and resident education. However, teaching often results in decreased billing, thereby decreasing our salary. Basing compensation purely on clinical activity has had unintended consequences. We are hoping to see future changes that will value teaching more from a financial and an academic promotion perspective. Even with this system, most of the members of my group participate in teaching on a regular basis with either medical students, residents, or both. I currently precept two residents for their weekly continuity clinic in my office, attend on the inpatient service at Emory University Hospital, and precept medical students in the physical diagnosis course. I also serve as Director of Operational Improvement for our office of 17 general internists and have recently been tapped to help guide quality improvement initiatives system-wide for Emory Healthcare. With so many demands on your time, what keeps you in academic clinical practice? About three years ago, I was bitten by the quality "bug." As I learned more about quality and reliability work, I recognized that improvement in health care delivery promises to impact the health of our patients as much as the latest cuttingedge medication, imaging study, or biomechanical device. I have also realized that making health care delivery reliable can only be accomplished with the involvement of all levels of health care workers in complete system redesign. Actually doing the work of system redesign is an exciting field that is just becoming a reality in most large academic medical centers. Because it is such a new and rapidly growing field, it represents a great opportunity for clinically active physicians in any field especially generalists ; to become leaders of change. In fact, I think the most effective physician leaders are the ones who are still clinically active because they can lead by example during their daily practice. As academic clinicians, it's also very important that we embrace the quality movement so we can equip our residents with the skills they'll need to design systems that deliver safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered care. How have you changed your clinic schedule and work processes to be able to better meet your patients' needs? Three years ago, I was solidly booked out one to two months in advance, sometimes even further. It had been this way for almost five years. Like most physicians, I thought this was a sign of how talented and popular I had become! I've come to realize that a wait time that long is usually a sign of a poorly managed schedule and an inefficient clinic. For the past 18 months, I've averaged a three- to five-day wait for a routine appointment. Patients often get an appointment the day they call without any triage process. It took about six months for me to make enough changes in my clinic to make it possible for patients to have the access they needed, and it's still a work in progress. It's all about supply and demand management. Some of the more basic steps are to: 1 ; simplify your schedule by reducing the number of appointment types, 2 ; manage your schedule wisely around vacations and holidays, and 3 ; question yourself on how soon you need to see people for follow up. The real key in maintaining excellent access is changing the culture in your 9 practice from one where the physician provides care for the patient, with the staff providing support to the physician, to a model where the entire staff provides care for the patient. Each person performs as much of the care as their skills and licensure allow them to do. This culture change is also one of the important keys for improving the quality and reliability of all the care your office provides patients. What advice do you have for physicians who see their clinical time being taken up by other activities like committee or administrative work? I'd say don't let it happen! Make every effort you can to be creative and use new models to continue being involved in the lives of at least a small group of your patients. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement IHI ; is a great source of information regarding supply and demand management in outpatient practice settings. Don't be afraid to try new things to make this happen. I have a colleague who has taken on a new position that prevents him from having a "normal" clinic. He's selected 200 of his patients to continue using him as their doctor. He's gone to a "micro-practice" model where his patients can contact him via e-mail or voice mail, and he sees them for regular and urgent appointments using an exam room in the hospital where he works. Any other advice for generalists trying to cope with the ever expanding list of all the things we're supposed to cover in a 15-minute office visit? It seems like every three months another one of the major national medical journals is publishing a column on "The Death of Primary Care" or some similar title. I've grown tired of these authors who bemoan the demands we face but continued on page 14.

RAD IO C ONTACT As the flight team approaches the LZ, they will contact you on your own radio frequency. When radio contact is made, it is imperative that the flight crew communicates with the Landing Zone Officer, the one person assigned to establish and secure the landing zone. The LZ Officer should describe the LZ, any hazards in the area, wind direction, condition of the touchdown surface, and security information i.e. crowd is secured and traffic is stopped ; . NOTE: Pay special attention to looking for overhead wires and reporting their location to the pilot when the helicopter arrives overhead. PO ST -LAND ING OPERA TION S & PAT IENT LOAD ING Once a helicopter has landed, the following should be observed: Assure that no one approaches the helicopter or enters the LZ unless directed to do so the flight team. Never allow a vehicle to drive up to the helicopter. If you are directed to approach the helicopter by the flight team, NEVER approach the rear of the helicopter, only approach from the front. The tail rotors are invisible when spinning. See diagrams. [2.0154] Search for SUSY Partners of Fermions at LEP and Prospects for SUSY at LHC [DESY-THESIS-2000-026].

Nexavar treatment The clinical trials for both Torisel and Sutent involved active comparators, while Nexavar included a placebo arm in its pivotal clinical trial. Sutent and Nexavar were each approved on the basis of significant improvement in progression-free survival, while Torisel was approved on the basis of a significant improvement 49% ; in overall survival versus interferon-alpha. In addition, Torisel demonstrated a 100% improvement in progression-free survival versus interferon-alpha in poor risk advanced RCC patients. Wyeth expects that Torisel will be used in accordance with the recently published Oncology Practice Guidelines, i.e., first-line for poor-prognosis patients category 1 ; and as subsequent therapy after cytokine therapy 2A ; and category 2B following tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The recently updated NCCN Guidelines for RCC also addressed the issue of first-line and subsequent therapy for advanced RCC. The latest version of the NCCN guidelines released this spring added Torisel as a first-line therapy option for both "predominant clear cell histology" and "non clear cell histology" and as a subsequent therapy option for "predominant clear cell histology." Wyeth reports that the ideal candidate for Torisel therapy exhibits three of six of the following prognostic risk factors: 1 metastatic organ site Karnofsky performance status of 60 or Hemoglobin less than the lower limit of normal Corrected calcium 10 mg dL Lactate dehydrogenase 1.5 times the upper cont. on pg 42 limit of normal.

Hence, in the times to come `twill be said by the men who are unborn, "Tamed by the spear expired the coiled terrible serpent." At the coincidence of all these things the Argives were greatly cast down; and so they resolved that they would follow the signals of the enemy's herald. Having made this resolve, they proceeded to act as follows: whenever the herald of the Lacedaemonians gave an order to the soldiers of his own army, the Argives did the like on their side. Now when Cleomenes heard that the Argives were acting thus, he commanded his troops that, so soon as the herald gave the word for the soldiers to go to dinner, they should instantly seize their arms and charge the host of the enemy. Which the Lacedaemonians did accordingly, and fell upon the Argives just as, following the signal, they had begun their repast; whereby it came to pass that vast numbers of the Argives were slain, while the rest, who were more than they which.
