Pulse of UTMC

Wow. I’ve been afforded the wonderful opportunity to write about UTMC through this journal, blog, whatever you want to call it.

As do most folks who take up a project like this, I feel compelled to start this journal by explaining why it’s been created and the kinds of things I hope to share with you.

This journal has been created in order to provide a way to communicate with the community at large, as well as with UT faculty, staff and students, about trends in health care and about the people of UT Medical Center.

We chose the name “Pulse of UTMC” because I’m hoping to help you get to know the people who are delivering care here. Whether it’s about Dr. Christopher Cooper’s CORAL study, a $25 million (that’s right – million) national research study funded by the NIH, or it’s about the phone message I just got from the mother of a patient who was not only wowed by watching the medical team respond to a code but also by how clean and efficient the George Isaac Minimally Invasive Surgery Center is (we call it “The George” for short), or it’s how float nurse Connie Donald’s passion for life benefits her patients and the dogs she walks four days a week at a local animal shelter.

It all makes UTMC what it is. It’s the “pulse” of this place and it all helps to define university-quality care.

And I can’t wait to share with you and to have you respond to posts. If we’re lucky, we’ll have some guest writers join in, too.

Hope to see you back here soon!
