Request to update basic facts

[edit]

Hello editors, my name is Jessica. I am a representative from Mayo Clinic here to make some suggested improvements to this article both now and in the near future. I hope editors find that these suggestions overall improve Wikipedia. Below, I have a list of basic factual updates that can improve the article.

In the infobox:

  • Update chair to Michael Powell.[1]
  • Update number of employees to 76,000 (2022).[2][3]
  • This fact sheet is currently cited in the infobox already, but the citation needed to be updated and reformatted, so I have done that here.
  • Update revenue to $16.3 billion (2022).[2][3]

In the Corporate affairs section:

  • Replace "Samuel A. DiPiazza, Jr., retired CEO of PricewaterhouseCoopers, is chairman of Mayo Clinic's governing board of trustees." with "Michael Powell, former chair of the Federal Communications Commission, is chair of Mayo Clinic's governing board of trustees.[1]"
  • Replace "Mayo Clinic employs 63,000 people, including more than 4,500 physicians and scientists and 58,400 administrative and allied health staff, as of 2018." with "Mayo Clinic employs 76,000 people, including more than 7,300 physicians and clinical residents and over 66,000 allied health staff, as of 2022."[3]"
  • Delete the sentence "Of those, approximately 34,000 are based in Rochester." The sentence is written like it is current but this is outdated information and I suggest removal.

Contributions to medicine and science

[edit]

Hi, Jessica here. I have some additional thoughts on this article and ways it can be improved, outlined below. This is all strictly content addition proposals and none of the existing content should need to be edited or removed from the article with these proposals.

Add each of the following bullet points to the very end of the "Contributions to medicine and science" subsection of the "History" in the order I have presented them (in order to maintain chronology and keep with Wikipedia standards). I think these additions each are appropriate for the "Contributions to medicine and science" subsection and should be added as they provide more information and context to that section:

  • In 2018, Mayo Clinic collaborated with UCLA to help a man paralyzed since 2013 stand and walk with assistance, using spinal cord stimulation and physical therapy. The results were published in the journal Nature Medicine.[1]
  • Launched in 2020, Mayo Clinic's Advanced Care at Home Model of Care provides at home for patients who otherwise would be hospitalized.[2]
  • In 2020, Mayo Clinic launched the federally sponsored Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma, which reached over 70,000 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across the United States.[3]
  • Mayo Clinic Phoenix performed the most transplants out of anywhere in the United States in 2022 after it had over 800 solid organs.[4]
  • As of 2023, Mayo Clinic treated over 6,000 patients with proton beam therapy and an additional 4,000 patients at a second facility. [5]

Hello, not here to answer your COI edit request, just offering a comment. Wikipedia generally does not like bulleted lists and instead prefers to write content in prose, for the sake of readability. Additionally these additions have a promotional tone and does not look like content that would help with the article in the large scope of things. WanderingMorpheme 00:33, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@WanderingMorpheme I agree that the content here is promotional in nature and that the addition of it would not add much to the article information wise. Regards,  Spintendo  04:27, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WanderingMorpheme and Spintendo Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the confusion, I meant that the below should be added as prose, the bullet points were simply for organization on the Talk page. I have removed them for clarity. Additionally, I see what you are saying about promotional language so I have made amendments. To reiterate, this is all strictly content addition proposals and none of the existing content should need to be edited or removed from the article with these proposals.

I don't want to speak for WanderingMorpheme, but I believe what they were saying was that (a) bullet points were generally not accommodated as well as prose was and (b) that Additionally these additions have a promotional tone and does not look like content that would help with the article in the large scope of things meaning prose or no prose they were too promotional sounding for acceptability, in which case, I concurred. Regards,  Spintendo  04:22, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation Spintendo! My newest request amended language in an attempt to alleviate some of those concerns regarding promotional language. WanderingMorpheme: Is the amended language an improvement? Is it possible to evaluate these on a case by case basis too and see if some of the prose meets standards?
Thanks to you both for helping me with improving this content JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 14:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any amended language. If this is a new request, please place it and the template under a new level 2 heading. Regards,  Spintendo  03:21, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Amended language

[edit]

Hi, Jessica from Mayo Clinic here. Per a suggestion from Spintendo, I am creating a new request with my amended language to update the article. I request adding the below prose to the very end of the "Contributions to medicine and science" subsection of the "History" in the order I have presented them (in order to maintain chronology and keep with Wikipedia standards). I think these additions each are appropriate for the "Contributions to medicine and science" subsection and provide more information and context to that section:

In 2018, Mayo Clinic and UCLA used spinal cord stimulation and physical therapy that resulted in a man paralyzed since 2013 regaining the ability to stand and walk with assistance. The results were published in the journal Nature Medicine.[1]

Mayo Clinic's Advanced Care at Home Model of Care launched in 2020 and assists with patient housing.[2]

In 2020, Mayo Clinic launched the federally sponsored Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in the United States.[3]

In 2022, Mayo Clinic Phoenix performed the most transplants out of anywhere in the United States.[4]

As of 2023, Mayo Clinic treated over 6,000 patients with proton beam therapy and an additional 4,000 patients at a second facility.[5]

___________

  1. ^ The facts surrounding the individual mentioned in this portion of the edit request, specifically the regaining of his abilities to stand and walk with assistance, are attenuated by the additional information that this ability encompassed no more than 111 yards, for no longer than 16 minutes, and was instantly lost once the artificial electrical stimulation ceased. Describing only half of this story might be a disservice to readers, who could conceivably be misled into drawing conclusions which are not necessarily present.
  2. ^ It is unclear what is meant by the phrase "assists with patient housing".
  3. ^ If this program were federally sponsored, it's not clear how Mayo "launched" it. Is it that the federal government "employed" Mayo (for lack of a better term) to carry out this program? The text leaves out the origins of, and impetus for, the program. Simply put, whose idea was this program? By describing Mayo as the "launcher", this could imply a sense of ownership of the idea for the program which might in actuality be more nuanced.
  4. ^ This claim is vague (i.e., transplants of what? Were these all successful transplants? 'The most' compared to any other facility, or 'more than' all other facilities combined? etc.)
  5. ^ As of 2023, only 2% of patients who receive radiation treatments obtain those treatments as proton beam therapy. The way this is described in the proposed text (with the only figures given as "10,000 patients") might be deficient in explaining the true extensiveness of this treatment.

Revised edit request with provided clarifications

[edit]

Thanks Spintendo for reviewing these requests individually. For the two paragraphs you had questions about, I have some alternative language for you to consider:

Mayo Clinic's Advanced Care at Home Model of Care launched in 2020 and assists patients in their own homes through virtual care.[1]
In 2020, Mayo Clinic began running a federally sponsored Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma to treat hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in the United States.[2]

Approved Thank you for clarifying these, it's much appreciated. I've implemented both into the Contributions section as requested. Regards,  Spintendo  00:49, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Updated requests for previously declined content

[edit]

Thanks for implementing two of the requested updates above, Spintendo. I had the opportunity to look at two of the requested updates you previously declined, and wanted to offer some amended language for those given your feedback. Will you consider these additions for the "Contributions to medicine and science" subsection? They can be placed chronologically if you agree.

In 2018, Mayo Clinic and UCLA used spinal cord stimulation and physical therapy that resulted in a man paralyzed since 2013 briefly regaining the ability to stand and walk with assistance. The patient was able to walk 111 yards for a total of 16 minutes when given artificial electrical stimulation. The results were published in the journal Nature Medicine.[1]
As of 2023, Mayo Clinic had treated more than 10,000 patients with proton beam therapy across two of its facilities. According to Post-Bulletin reporting, proton beam therapy is limited in the U.S., with only 2 percent of radiation patients being treated with the technology.[2]

 Partly done I've added the information concerning the UCLA electrical stimulation therapy, thank you for clarifying its wording — it's much appreciated. With regards to the beam therapy, this would be acceptable if a companion Wikilink on the therapy could be included in the prose. Not being familiar with this therapy myself, if you could locate which Wkipedia article would work best as a link for that term, that would be helpful. Please advise when ready, by switching the request parameter from |ans=y to |ans=n. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  02:30, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Innovation section

[edit]

Hello I would like to make a new suggestion for this article to the Innovation section:

  • Add to the beginning of the section:
    • Mayo Clinic leads hundreds of clinical trials and offers therapies such as CAR-T and proton therapies. They are currently one of the leading research centers for the COVID-19 epidemic and were one of the first institutions offering plasma exchange for this patient population. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayo Clinic developed and adopted treatments that reduced mortality rates and patients with COVID-19 who received care at Mayo Clinic had a lower mortality rate than at other hospitals.[1] Mayo Clinic cofounded the national COVID-19 Health Care Coalition, a private industry effort to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak.[2] During 2021, the clinic cared for more than 160,000 COVID-19 patients and tested more than 1.1 million people. It also administered more than 500,000 COVID-19 vaccines and provided more than 19,000 monoclonal antibody infusions.[3] Mayo Clinic Laboratories developed highly accurate diagnostic and antibody tests, performing more than 3.1 million COVID-19 tests for patients nationwide. Fourteen new COVID-19-related tests were launched, and more than 100 new tests of all types were provided to patients and clients in 60 countries.[4]
  • Add "In collaboration with real estate firm Delos Living, Mayo Clinic launched the Well Living Lab in September 2015. This research facility is designed to simulate real-world, non-hospital environments, allowing Mayo Clinic researchers to study the interaction between indoor spaces and human health.[5]"
  • Replace "The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation was established in 2008. It has since worked on over 270 projects.[6]" with "The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation, established in 2008, was one of the pioneers of innovation in healthcare. It has since worked on over 270 projects and is often considered a role model for using design in healthcare.[7]"
  • Add "The video content addresses important questions and answers and is designed to aid in the decision-making process between patient and doctor.[8]" following the sentence that says, "In March 2018, Mayo Clinic and Mytonomy, a healthcare education system company, partnered to provide video content for cancer patients."

Article structure

[edit]

Hello, I wanted to propose some content rearrangement to this article in order to streamline it and make it a bit more readable. I work at Mayo Clinic and have a conflict of interest, which is why I'm seeking consensus here on the Talk page.

  • Change the heading of "Corporate affairs" to "Operations" and then remove the heading named "Core operations"
    • It seems a bit redundant to have all these different headings that mean similar things while also having no prose directly under "Core operations" (instead it moves right into subsections)
  • Place the three subsections of "Clinical practice" "Research" and "Education" under the new "Operations" section heading

I think this would help the overall flow of the page. Let me know if there are any questions. JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 17:02, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Six years ago i had double knee replace surgery, and after the first two years i started complaining of pain and instability in my left knee. first was told nothing wrong than was told bone spurs were the cause of pain and instability, to where i was told that i needed a revision to correct it. My Question is this is it typical of a doctor to use parts from two different manufactures in one knee for the top and bottom and can this cause the instabilityab be part of the cause for a revision to be done?
