The Impact

Abstract: Tracing the movement of new medical information from the laboratory to individual consumers is a challenge to communications theorists and social scientists alike. This article adopts the position of the social study of medicine, which takes into account the impact of people’s perceptions of disease on treatment decisions and outcomes, to locate instances of the movement of information—and its limitations—in a unique setting: a metabolic disorders clinic for HIV-positive patients. Analysis of data from a participatory observation study at the clinic reveals that the clinician, inculcated into endocrinology, must adapt new information to enable communication with patients, who hold a different view of the body heavily informed by virology. This adaptation also occurs in the reverse, as patients adjust their thinking to make room for new information that will directly impact their treatment decisions. Résumé : Retracer le transfert de nouvelles informations médicales du laboratoire au consommateur pose un défi au théoricien en communication tout autant qu’au savant en sciences humaines. Cet article a recours aux études sociales en médecine, où l’on étudie les perceptions des gens à l’égard de la maladie et les effets de celle-ci sur les traitements, afin de situer des exemples de transferts d’information dans un emplacement singulier : une clinique pour les perturbations métaboliques qui traite les patients atteints du VIH. L’analyse de données provenant d’une observation participante menée à la clinique révèle que le clinicien, avec son expertise en endocrinologie, doit reformuler de nouvelles informations afin de mieux communiquer avec ses patients, car ces derniers ont sur le corps un point de vue différent, fortement influencé par la virologie. Cette reformulation a aussi lieu dans le sens inverse, car les patients doivent ajuster leurs perceptions afin de mieux intégrer de nouvelles informations qui auront une portée directe sur leurs décisions à l’égard de leur traitement.

Abstract The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Fifth Edition, is available and includes numerous changes that will affect both evaluators who and systems that use the AMA Guides. The Fifth Edition is nearly twice the size of its predecessor (613 pages vs 339 pages) and contains three additional chapters (the musculoskeletal system now is split into three chapters and the cardiovascular system into two). Table 1 shows how chapters in the Fifth Edition were reorganized from the Fourth Edition. In addition, each of the chapters is presented in a consistent format, as shown in Table 2. This article and subsequent issues of The Guides Newsletter will examine these changes, and the present discussion focuses on major revisions, particularly those in the first two chapters. (See Table 3 for a summary of the revisions to the musculoskeletal and pain chapters.) Chapter 1, Philosophy, Purpose, and Appropriate Use of the AMA Guides, emphasizes objective assessment necessitating a medical evaluation. Most impairment percentages in the Fifth Edition are unchanged from the Fourth because the majority of ratings currently are accepted, there is limited scientific data to support changes, and ratings should not be changed arbitrarily. Chapter 2, Practical Application of the AMA Guides, describes how to use the AMA Guides for consistent and reliable acquisition, analysis, communication, and utilization of medical information through a single set of standards.
