Talk:Mayo Clinic

message: 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.
*Update number of employees to 76,000 (2022).
:*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).
 
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."
*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.""
*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 The sentence is written like it is current but this is outdated information and I suggest removal.
 
 
I am happy to answer any questions here. Thanks JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 18:23, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Spintendo: Thank you for reviewing and making the improvements you've made thus far. Below are suggestions for a few items you declined – and one question for you.
*"Mayo Clinic pledged $100 million over 10 years toward eliminating bias in medicine, providing equity, and diversifying leadership."
**Reason for decline: "This information includes elements from the future ('over 10 years')."
***Mayo Clinic reply: Would you consider adding the sentence if we omit "over 10 years", since the pledge itself did happen. 
****Mayo Clinic suggestion: "Mayo Clinic pledged $100 million toward eliminating bias in medicine, providing equity, and diversifying leadership."
*"In 2019, two Mayo Clinic doctors started a biotech firm through Mayo Clinic's Employee Entrepreneurship Program at One Discovery Square complex in downtown Rochester, which Mayo Clinic anchors and leases out. 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. In September 2023, Mayo Clinic in Florida opened its Community Health Collaborative in Downtown Jacksonville. This location is for researchers to conduct community health education and clinical trial participation outreach and the Mayo Clinic will not provide medical care at the location."
**Reason for decline: The Mayo Clinic Employee Entrepreneurship Program, the Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma, and the Community Health Collaborative are not independently notable in Wikipedia.
***Mayo Clinic reply: It is my understanding that things do not have to be notable to be added to an existing article, but they should be verifiable in independent reliable sources. After seeing this feedback, I looked at the notability rules, which say the "criteria applied to the creation or retention of an article are not the same as those applied to the content inside it. The notability guideline does not apply to the contents of articles." The content I suggested cites reliable sources, including The Post Bulletin, NPR, and Jacksonville Today. Will you help me understand why this is insufficient?
*"Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was incorporated in 1915 from an endowment of $1.5 million from the personal funds of brothers William J. Mayo, M.D. and Charles H. Mayo, M.D. Also in that year, the Mayo Foundation expanded its three-year post graduate program through a partnership with the University of Minnesota"
**Reason for decline: "The provided source for these claims is 34 pages long. The particular page where this information exists in that source was not provided with the request; surely the COI editor does not intend the reviewer to read 34 pages in order to verify this information. Additionally, the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research does not appear to be independently notable."
***Mayo Clinic reply: I have updated the citations here to specify which pages verify the information
****Mayo Clinic suggestion: "Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was incorporated in 1915 from an endowment of $1.5 million from the personal funds of brothers William J. Mayo, M.D. and Charles H. Mayo, M.D. Also in that year, the Mayo Foundation expanded its three-year post graduate program through a partnership with the University of Minnesota."
*"In 1972, the medical school opened."
**Reason for decline: "It is not known which medical school this claim represents."
***Mayo Clinic reply: At the time, it was called Mayo Medical School. The school is now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. Revised text below.
****Mayo Clinic suggestion: "In 1972, the Mayo Medical School (now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine) opened."

thread_title: Reply to Spintendo

message: I would like to make the following request:
*To the Education subsection of the Core Operations section, add "Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was incorporated in 1915 from an endowment of $1.5 million from the personal funds of brothers William J. Mayo, M.D. and Charles H. Mayo, M.D. Also in that year, the Mayo Foundation expanded its three-year post graduate program through a partnership with the University of Minnesota."
**In the  Educational programs subsection of the History section, remove "The first medical, educational programs at Mayo Clinic were developed in 1915 with the assistance of the University of Minnesota. Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education and the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research were established in 1915. MFMER was established as a department of the University of Minnesota with a $1.5 million donation to offer graduate programs at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester."
**In the  Educational programs subsection, remove the word "now" from the following sentence: "The Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education is now part of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, which is divided into five schools.
::*My rationale for requesting to add the above content is to provide more information on where the endowment came from and include information on the three-year post graduate program. The content I'm seeking to remove would then reduce redundancy in the article following the new additions.
I would like to additionally make a second request:
*To the Education subsection of the Core Operations section, add "In 1972, the Mayo Medical School (now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine) opened."
::*My rationale for requesting to add this is because it is not currently in the article and provides valuable information to the timeline of Mayo Clinic's history in the late 20th century.
Please let me know your thoughts on this, thanks JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 13:34, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

message: 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.
 
: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.

thread_title: Revised edit request with provided clarifications

message: 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. Mayo Clinic cofounded the national COVID-19 Health Care Coalition, a private industry effort to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. 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. 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.
*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."
*Replace "The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation was established in 2008. It has since worked on over 270 projects." 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."
*Add "The video content addresses important questions and answers and is designed to aid in the decision-making process between patient and doctor." 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."
 
 
Please let me know what you think, thanks. JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 13:06, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Innovation section 

message: 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)
