1) Summary: What are the big trends in practice physician compensation?

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-br20@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 January

Query:

The AMA just released survey results on MD compensation from
2018, showing "compensation based on productivity" growing and
"single method" compensation declining.

These figures of course don't take into account the past few
years in medical practice -- or COVID.

What do you see happening in practice physician compensation?

Is it more performance-based? If so, what are the metrics? What
other factors (e.g. community service) are being used?

And do you expect recent developments to affect it?

Thanks, Roy Edroso Part B News https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 January

Query:

Practice physicians sometimes go for weeks without completing or
signing their reports on patient encounters.

Let's such an MD dies and leaves incomplete reports.

should the practice do?

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 January

Query:

Hi there, I'm working on a story about the documented drop in
sperm count among men. Obviously, it's a complex issue and
experts can only speculate, so I'm looking for educated
speculation from qualified experts, essentially. I would like to
talk to epidemiologists, environmental health experts and
urologists about why sperm counts might be dropping in the
Western world. And if there's any reason to guess that we might
be able to stop the drop in the future.

Please note that I have no interest in PR about any products for
at home sperm count tests or fertility tests, or any products
whatsoever.

thanks!

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 January

Query:

With the sharp dip in physician practice activity due to
COVID-19, especially in spring of 2020, obviously many doctors
who get RVU compensation or other performance-based payments got
cheated at least a little.

Have you observed any measures such as make-up payments or
temporary contract waivers to adjust for that circumstance? Or
are the providers just supposed to take the loss?

our state. I'm looking to interview someone who studies mental
health and burnout among health care workers. I'd like to get

Name: Tina Arnoldi Theravive

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bq1s@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Theravive

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 10 January

Query:

The "It Gets Better" project is a campaign that aims to reduce
suicide among LGBTQ+ adolescents by providing personal
narratives of hope delivered by mainly adult LGBTQ+ persons. A
recent, but very small study, found both positive and negative
aspects of these campaigns. Do you agree/disagree with their
findings and why?

https://europepmc.org/article/pmc/pmc7709299

Messages were found to be helpful in terms of promoting hope.
LGBQ+ youth identified several key strategies to increase
identification with messages, which they considered crucial for
their effectiveness. Criticism emerged from a perceived lack of
diversity in terms of portrayed sexual identities, and some
shallowness in the portrayal of suicidal ideation and how things
can get better. The experts' perceptions of the videos were
largely consistent with LGBQ+ youth, highlighting a positive
potential of videos to support coming out and identity building
processes.

Requirements:

Interested in hearing from mental health providers and those
with personal experiences.. Additional comments/insight beyond
the query are welcome. Please do not ask me to contact you
separately for a quote. I will delete your reply and become sad
that you didn't read the full query. Email replies only. No

out my work here: https://blog.mettl.com/author/bhuvi-kathpalia/

I am writing a detailed guide on how organizations reskill or
upskill their employees, how they perform a skill gap analysis,
what tools they use in the process, what are their challenges,
if their company follows a training needs analysis model, and
why do they think training needs analysis is so important in
this day and age?

Here are some of the specific questions that you may answer:

1. How do you identify training needs in your organization? or
How do you conduct training needs analysis in your organization?
(Please explain the process in detail).

2. What is the biggest challenge for you in the training needs
analysis process? Is it who to training, what to train them in,
how to train them, or how to measure the effectiveness of the
training program?

3. Why, according to you, is it important to undertake training
needs analysis for your workforce?

4. How do you measure the effectiveness of your training needs
analysis?

You may also send me anything else you feel might enrich my
article.

I will duly give credit to all the quotes I use in my article,
with a link to your websites (if applicable).

74) Summary: Will Capitol violence create lasting effects for U.S. business interests under Biden administration?

Name: Matt Whittaker Zenger News

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bra6@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Zenger News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 January

Query:

I'm writing a story for Zenger News, an international news
service, about what might be the longer-term ramifications of
the business world's reaction against the unrest at the Capitol.

Here are my main questions:

-- What does it mean for U.S. business interests under a Biden
administration that some conservative proponents of less
regulation and lower taxes might be stained by Trump's
unpopularity?

-- Might Democrats have less resistance from business groups for
raising taxes, increasing regulation and undoing Trump's
energy-sector-supported legacy with the EPA and land management
agencies?

-- And will there be lasting ramifications for investing in the
U.S.? Political stability has long been one of the reasons
companies invest in the United States and other developed
nations. Scenes from the Capitol yesterday were more reminiscent
of turmoil in some international frontier markets where placing
capital is much riskier.

Here's some background:

Many high ranking business officials came out yesterday to
condemn the violence--everyone from the CEOs of the nation's
biggest banks to the National Association of Realtors, the
American Petroleum Institute and even the credit union lobby.

But there were a couple remarks that were exceptionally notable.
One, from a manufacturing lobbying group, went so far as to
suggest the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove Trump
from office. The other, from the CEO of Goldman Sachs, said that
yesterday's attacks further squandered the "reservoir of
goodwill" other nations have toward the United States.

This may be the strongest repudiation of Trump from the business
community--which often supports Republican policies--but it's
not the first. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, along with more
than 100 other business and non-profit groups in October asked
Trump to withdraw his order limiting diversity training. In
June, dozens of companies and trade associations urged the
Supreme Court to throw out Trump's recision of DACA, saying that
young immigrants greatly help the economy. And there was all
kinds of business resistance to his trade war with China.

Requirements:

I would love to talk with analysts, business experts in
companies or academia, financial historians investors,
strategists and/or experts in the intersection of business and
politics. Other types of sources may work too.

I'm looking for a mental health professional who can speak about

a hoax or isn't serious.

The Color of Your Pee Does Not Tell You How Hydrated You
Are--Here's What Does

Apparently, the old true-ism about how the darker your pee
color, the more dehydrated you are (and the clearer it is, the
MORE hydrated you are) is NOT TRUE, according to some experts.
I'd love to fact check this with a urologist. Be sure to answer
the following:

1) What impacts your pee color? explain factors

2) is pee color always or ever indicative of hydration? Why or
why not?

3) If no--what are better indicators of how hydrated or
dehydrated you are? give some examples and why

4) Is evaluating pee color ever useful? Explain. And what else
can pee color actually tell us that might be useful then? if
anything!

Name: Dom Nicastro CMSWire

Category: General

Email: query-br4w@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: CMSWire

Deadline: 11:00 PM EST - 10 January

Query:

Slack went down this week.

Doing a story: what can orgs do when a central collaboration
goes down?

It's likely orgs now have a central, go-to collaboration tool
with everyone forced to remote work. When Slack went down, many
employees didn't know what to do. They felt kinda lost, and
likely didn't have a policy, agreed-upon plan to keep
communication running/timely projects moving forward. I mean, we
could always email colleagues/text, but who knows if that would
be successful, right?

So the first question is: Do organizations need a policy around
these kinds of disruptions, and why?

What are some good things to include in the policy and why are
they important?

Should there be a champion(s) in this, and who is the likely
leader/what is their role in this?

Is it worth it to have a back-up collaboration tool? Like a
freemium version?

When we didn't have these tools only about 15-20 years ago, what
were successful ways to cope with say, email or phone going
down? Can today's orgs take lessons from the past?

Any other thoughts in this arena -- focusing on the theme, "What
to do when your collaboration tool goes down?" feel free to add!

Requirements:

Speaking from first-hand experience -- what YOUR company does --
is always great. But general advice is welcome, and IT/digital
workplace experience is always preferred. Many HARO sources
comment on topics way out of their wheelhouse, so it's helpful
to have some connection to the topic in order to get considered.

examples of successful artists making a living selling their art
(all forms, fine art, graphic design, music, clothing, etc)
through various online tools, such as Redbubble, Etsy, ArtPal,
Zazzle, Minted, Saatchi Art, etc. Being an artist is very much
about tapping into your personal aesthetic inspiration and
transferring it into a tangible form. But being a artist that
pays the bills is also about the pragmatic aspects of reaching
an audience who will purchase your art. Looking for stories of
successful artists who have been able to balance these two sides
of being a successful artist and the online resources they have
used to accomplish this. What did you do right? What did you
do wrong and learn from on your way to success? Who were your
human resources that you looked to for knowledge and
inspiration? Are you selling more of what you love to do, or are
you creating more of "what sells" and not what fulfills you as
an artist?

Especially interested in women and BIPOC artists.

Name: Nicole Dieker Haven Life

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-br9m@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Haven Life

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 11 January

Query:

Hi! I'm a writer at Haven Life, and I'm looking for public
health and mental health experts to provide insight into how to
make Valentine's Day work during COVID.

For example: If you and your significant other are busy parents
who want a night off, is it risky to hire a sitter for your
kids? What if you let your kids stay over with someone in your
quarantine pod (even though we know that many pods are fairly
porous these days)? Is it worth going to a restaurant and trying
to make outdoor dining happen in February, or should you plan a
special meal in your own home?

What if you're dating someone new and you haven't combined
households yet -- are there risks to meeting in-person for a
Valentine's Day date? If you've already been meeting in-person,
are there new risks associated with cold weather, COVID surges,
etc. that you should be aware of?

I'd also be curious on how the vaccine rollout might play into
all of this -- both realistically (in the sense that most people
won't be fully vaccinated yet) and how the vaccine might affect
people's behavior. Will we see more risky behavior simply
because a vaccine exists?

Thank you!
