University of Florida officials say they want to expand the existing self-insurance plan that covers Shands employees and their dependents, GatorCare, to include all UF employees and their dependents. The change would allow GatorCare to be tailored to the particular needs of the UF and Shands workforces, UF officials say. Dr. Les Beitsch, an associate dean for the Division of Health Affairs at Florida State University's College of Medicine, comments on UF’s plan to administer its own health-care insurance program for its employees.

PRESS RELEASE

The Council on Graduate Medical Education reports that fewer than 20 percent of all U.S. medical school graduates are choosing primary care specialties, but 55 percent of the 450 graduates of FSU's College of Medicine have gone into primary-care residency programs. FSU includes obstetrics-gynecology when it reports primary-care numbers, arguing that the battle to improve infant mortality in North Florida falls under primary care. 
Laura Davis is a third-year medical school student at Florida State University. She is, by all accounts, a poster child for the still-young College of Medicine and its particular mission to produce primary-care physicians working in under-served areas.

PRESS RELEASE

Medical errors during hospital stays make headlines, but far more common are problems that occur after patients — especially older ones – go home. Dennis Tsilimingras, M.D., M.P.H., Director, Center on Patient Safety and Assistant Professor of Family Medicine & Rural Health at the Florida State University College of Medicine, has been awarded a two-year, $908,000 grant from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. 
With the participation of the Tallahassee Memorial Hospitalist Group, this study will monitor approximately 600 patients – half of them rural – for three weeks right after they’re discharged. “Ultimately the goal is to recommend ways to reduce post-discharge problems, which often involve medications,” said Dr. Tsilimingras.
