She
believes poetry and medicine have much in common: advocacy, healing, storytelling, listening, and observation. "I think that the skills
required to be a good doctor and a good poet are somewhat similar,
and by writing poetry, in many cases, I can be an advocate for my
patients and highlight their needs and conditions."

In 2007, she plans an 11-week trip to Tanzania, where she will work at the Tumani Clinic and do more research at refugee camps in northeast Tanzania. More than 20,000 Burundian refugees in those camps are waiting to be resettled in safe new homes.
Moore was previously a faculty member in a somewhat more traditional medical practice. He found that he and his patients were frustrated because the process of getting and receiving quality care was too complicated, and the need to pay for high overhead undermined collaborative communications.
"Because my overhead costs are so low, I am able to see fewer patients per day and spend more meaningful time with them."
In his IMP practice, Moore serves as a solo practitioner with a registered nurse as his only staff. He has designed his practice so he can spend more time with his patients and encourages them to be highly involved in self-care. “Because my overhead costs are so low, I am able to see fewer patients per day and spend more meaningful time with them,” he says.
Moore is a nationally recognized expert in clinical office practice redesign. He served as a faculty member of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and worked with office practice teams from across the United States, helping them pilot and implement changes to promote office efficiency.
The Physicians Foundation for Health System Excellence is providing generous support to the Genesee Valley Medical Foundation for IMP implementation and national dissemination. For information on participating in the project, please complete a registration form.
Moore maintains a private solo practice in Family Medicine in Rochester, New York, and is a Clinical Assistant Professor with the University of Rochester Departments of Family Medicine and Community and Preventive Medicine.
While more than half of black individuals surveyed said they would want life support if they had a chronic condition and were brain dead, just 11 percent of whites would want this intervention. Nearly three quarters of blacks said they would want life-sustaining care if they were terminally ill and had senile dementia, compared with 22.2 percent of whites.
These preferences are in conflict with the "prevailing ethic" of the U.S. medical establishment that "it's not advisable to offer life-extending treatment to people in a terminal situation," Dr. William H. Bayer ('82) of the University of Rochester in New York, the study's lead author, told Reuters Health.
Nearly three quarters of blacks said they would want life-sustaining care if they were terminally ill and had senile dementia, compared with 22.2 percent of whites.
Bayer was prompted to do the study after noticing how black families frequently wanted a loved one to stay on life support, while hospital staff -- largely white - though it should be discontinued.
A number of other studies, he and his colleagues note, have found a preference among blacks for life-sustaining care such as CPR and mechanical ventilation at the end of life.
Bayer's group asked 50 black and 27 white men and women who were 50 years of age or older if they would want life-sustaining care in eight different scenarios involving different levels of mental and physical status, from their current state of mental functioning to dementia to coma to brain death.
Across the board, blacks were more likely to want life-sustaining care than whites, Bayer and his colleagues found. The differences were starkest in the scenarios involving brain death and senile dementia.
Bayer points out that the current perception among U.S. medical professionals that life-sustaining care should not be given to terminally ill patients is cultural, not absolute, and does also not necessarily offer economic benefits.
"In my practice as a family practitioner I've seen that if people don't feel that the most was done in their eyes for their loved one it can have ramifications for many generations," he said.
Bayer also urged everyone to appoint a health care proxy and talk with him or her about their preferences for life-sustaining care. "This would avoid a lot of trauma to the family trying to decide what their loved ones wishes would or wouldn't be."

A recent Rutland Herald editorial article stated that "Everyone knows Vermont’s health care system is dysfunctional, but the status quo exerts a powerful influence in blocking meaningful change. One of the ideas reinforcing the status quo is that, despite its problems, the American health care system is the best in the world.
Public finance would create public accountability. If the public were paying for health care, the public would have a reason to give close scrutiny to projects that would create excess capacity and expense.
"A new book shows it is a myth that the American system is the best…it was written by Cornelius Hogan, former secretary of human services in Vermont and presently an international consultant; Dr. Deborah Richter, a physician; and Terry Doran, a journalist. It examines Vermont’s health care system and exposes the myths that are blocking reform."
This article by a Pulitzer Prize winning writer states that "the work of Hogan, Richter, and Doran points in the direction of a system of universal access and public finance to pay for our shared services. Public finance would create public accountability. If the public were paying for health care, the public would have a reason to give close scrutiny to projects that would create excess capacity and expense…These are constructive ideas requiring serious thought. Hogan, Richter, and Doran have cleared the path for new ways of thinking, and members of the Legislature ought to pay close attention to what they have to say."
Kudos to Deborah for your creative and committed efforts to health care reform! Best wishes for your continued success in bringing change to the issues facing our health care system. You can find out more about her book at her website (www.vthca.org).

Louise Bennett MD ('82) is a family physician at Brown Square Health Center, a branch of Westside Health Services in Rochester. Her work there focuses on refugee health. Bennett finds Rochester a welcoming place for refugees and, prior to Brown Square, worked at Woodward Health Center for 21 years.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Blacks are more likely than whites to want life-sustaining care at the end of life for an incurable illness or a serious physical or mental disability, a new study shows.
Deborah Richter, MD (’89) has been busy playing a large role in the recent comprehensive universal health care bill that passed in the Vermont House. She co-authored a book on health care called "At the Crossroads: The Future of Health Care in Vermont." Kudos to Deborah for it became required reading by the House and Senate Health committees.
