NEJM eBook: The Clinician Role in Health Care Delivery and InnovationA Powerful Voice for Transforming Care
One of the most powerful voices in the transformation of health care delivery is that of the clinician, including frontline physicians and nurses. Yet all too often, clinicians don’t feel valued or heard.
Read NEJM Catalyst’s new eBook, “The Clinician Role in Health Care Delivery and Innovation,” to find candid advice and actionable data from NEJM Catalyst Insights Council. Clinicians who are members of the Insights Council share firsthand accounts of how they raised their voices and effected change in the cost of care, patient engagement, and outcomes, the adoption of emerging technologies, and new models of care. Coupled with results from a year of Insights Council surveys, this eBook is a comprehensive resource to empower clinicians in your own organization.

Covid-19 Physician Practice Financial Impact Survey Results
The economic impact of Covid-19 on health care continues to reveal itself through reductions in patient volume and revenue and in higher practice costs.
In July and August, the AMA conducted a nationwide survey to better quantify the impact of Covid-19 on physician practices. Key findings:
- 81% of physicians surveyed in July & August said revenue was still lower than the pre-pandemic. The average revenue drop was 32%.
- 81% of physicians were still providing fewer in-person visits when surveyed than pre-pandemic, and despite telehealth increases, almost 70% of physicians were still providing fewer total visits.
- Spending on PPE is up, with physician-owned practices having the most difficult time acquiring these supplies.

PPE Deliveries
King County Medical Society's staff made their final PPE drop-off to the Washington Association of Pakistani Physicians.
After so many months of fundraising, creation of PPE - and the distribution of tens of thousands of units of masks, gowns, gloves, face shields, and hand sanitizer - we are proud to see the final boxes go to such a great organization.
