This week on WEGO Health Loves: Running a hospitalDon't worry, we're not looking to get in to the hospital business, we just really enjoy reading Paul Levy's blog, Running a hospital.
Levy is the President and CEO of Boston's renowned Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. His blog offers a surprisingly transparent look into the inner workings of a large teaching hospital.
He shares everything from nurse Tere McCarthy's monthly birthday cakes for the OR staff (Go Red Sox!) to internal budget reports sent to hospital staff.
He addresses some of new ways hospitals around the country are using social media (like live-Tweeting surgeries), recognizes employees, and even shares some poems written by caregivers.
And that's all just in the past few months. Levy has been writing "Running a hospital" since 2006.
There are a lot of amazing Health Activist blogs out there, and certainly no shortage of excellent caregiver blogs either, but patients and doctors don't exist in a vacuum. "Running a hospital" is an excellent blog for anyone looking to add another point of view to their reading about medicine, health, and healthcare.
Wondering what other sites we love?
