from the Publisher Greater Boston Publisher: Michael Jones t Michael Jones Publisher Greater Boston MJoNES@MDNEwS.coM 508-888-1502 a look at the December 2013 issue of MD News Greater Boston. I hope this magazine provides insight and news, as well as a few moments of peaceful reading during the ever-hurried holiday season. hAn ks for tAking Our cover story this month examines the expanding surgery program at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center. It is among the fastest growing in Boston, having seen expansion of 12 percent in the past year alone. We interview Frank Pomposelli, MD, the Chair of the Department of Surgery; Rae Allain, MD, Medical Director of the ICU; and John Unterborn, MD, Vice Chair for Educational Affairs and Internal Medicine Residency Program Director, to get the inside story behind that success. We also highlight the trend of relying on physician liaisons for partnership opportunities with referring colleagues. As our feature notes, a national physician survey found that roughly two-thirds of participants were "very unlikely" to change the way they refer patients without physician liaison involvement. The article may help you consider the benefits of turning to a liaison in the new age of health care. Before I go, I should make a last call for spots in our special edition, the CEOs of Health Care. The edition will come out in January and focus on the view of the industry from the executive suite. It represents an ideal (and unique) opportunity for top executives to share their views of where the industry is headed and describe the role their organizations are likely to play in that evolving landscape. It really does offer a wonderful opportunity for your CEO to lead the conversation in a way that reflects most positively on your organization. The issue deadline is coming up, so let's chat sooner rather than later if your CEO would like to be featured.
