Greetings, and welcome to MD News. MD News Mid Hudson has gained standing over the years as a reliable source of news about medical advances in the region and around the globe, and we hope you find this issue an enlightening, enjoyable read. Physicians have unique insights on the most e„ective ways to make medicine safer, more e„ective and less burdensome for patients. Recognizing that reality, Health Quest Medical Practice (HQ MP) has implemented an organizational governance model that empowers physician leaders to shape processes they use to enhance patients' health. In our cover feature, we examine how HQMP, guided by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Triple Aim, e„ectively pairs physicians' clinical leadership with the management expertise of administrators. In a feature in our special clinical section about cardiol- ogy, we review research from Sweden suggesting that even young men within normal BMI range often face greater risk for heart failure when they reach middle age. Another article highlights research showing the higher risk of antipsychotic-related pneumonia among Alzheimer's patients is similar regardless of which of three common drugs physicians prescribe. Be sure to read up on the latest regional events in health care in our People in the News and Local News sections as well. MD News can help communicate the finer points of your organization's leading-edge technologies and treat- ments to physicians throughout the region.
