As the challenges of leading in healthcare become more complex, healthcare institutions have increasingly emphasized the importance of leadership training for physicians. Several institutions have offered in-house training programs. This paper describes the 14-year experience and evolution of physician leadership development training at the Cleveland Clinic. We describe the curriculum, organization, and goals of the Leading in Health Care course, which is offered to high-potential physician leaders. As a metric of the success of this physician leadership effort, we report the number and types of business plans developed in the course that have been either implemented at the Cleveland Clinic or have directly affected plans for program implementation.

Skin tears: state of the science: consensus statements for the prevention, prediction, assessment, and treatment of skin tears©.
Adv Skin Wound Care

The appropriate management of patients with skin tears is an ongoing challenge for healthcare professionals. Skins tears are often painful, acute wounds resulting from trauma to the skin and are largely preventable. Healthcare professionals must be able to identify individuals at risk for skin tears and aid in the prevention of these wounds and in their treatment when they occur.

Surgical Treatments Outcomes Project for Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding is an agency for the Healthcare Research and Quality project built around a multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing hysterectomy and endometrial ablation (EA) for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding unrelated to structural causes. For inclusion, women self-defined their complaint, and the endometrial cavity was evaluated to exclude structural lesions. The primary outcomes were bleeding and major problem "solved" at 24 months, with length of institutional stay, surgical complications, quality of life, and reoperation included as secondary outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates how well the ANART and WASI tests can estimate premorbid intellect, which helps in assessing cognitive decline in early stages of neurodegenerative diseases.
- Participants included 371 individuals with prodromal Huntington disease and 51 with normal CAG repeats, assessed over four years.
- Results showed ANART had lower performance variability and better test-retest reliability compared to WASI, suggesting it may be a more stable measure for understanding cognitive changes over time.
Detrimental effects of environmental tobacco smoke in relation to asthma severity.
PLoS One
May 2011
Departments of Pathobiology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, United States of America.
Background: Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has adverse effects on the health of asthmatics, however the harmful consequences of ETS in relation to asthma severity are unknown.
Methods: In a multicenter study of severe asthma, we assessed the impact of ETS exposure on morbidity, health care utilization and lung functions; and activity of systemic superoxide dismutase (SOD), a potential oxidative target of ETS that is negatively associated with asthma severity.
Findings: From 2002-2006, 654 asthmatics (non-severe 366, severe 288) were enrolled, among whom 109 non-severe and 67 severe asthmatics were routinely exposed to ETS as ascertained by history and validated by urine cotinine levels.
Impact of non-linear smoking effects on the identification of gene-by-smoking interactions in COPD genetics studies.
Thorax
October 2011
Institute for Clinical Researchand Health Policy Studies, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: The identification of gene-by-environment interactions is important for understanding the genetic basis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Many COPD genetic association analyses assume a linear relationship between pack-years of smoking exposure and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)); however, this assumption has not been evaluated empirically in cohorts with a wide spectrum of COPD severity.
Methods: The relationship between FEV(1) and pack-years of smoking exposure was examined in four large cohorts assembled for the purpose of identifying genetic associations with COPD.
