Talk:University of California, Irvine Medical Center

UCI Health System Wiki
I recommend starting a "UCI Health System" wiki to consolodate this wiki (the medical center and its clinics) and its libraries. For those interested in helping, a good resource for this project is http://www.ucihs.uci.edu/intmed/hypertext/hs.html Fueltheburn 12:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Summary of all the UCI Med Center problems:
The LA Times compiled them recently, makes a good one-stop source: UC Irvine has often felt the heat of spotlight. --Bobak 14:49, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject University of California
Several editors are organizing a WikiProject to better organize articles related to the University of California. A preliminary draft is available UC=yes|UC-importance=|here. You are invited to participate in the discussion at Talk:University of California. szyslak 21:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:UCI Medical Center logo.jpg
Image:UCI Medical Center logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

California College of Medicine
Was it ever called the "California School of Medicine" as mentioned in the article? At the time it was acquired by UCI it was called "California College of Medicine." See http://www.ha.uci.edu/som/historicalTimeline.asp and other available references. Jim (talk) 05:46, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Title & Focus: Hospital or Regional Health Care System
I wonder if the title of this article is quite correct. The articles gives a lot of historical information, but it does not quite reflect the development of health providers away from hospitals (as a building, as single institution etc) to a wider and larger network of providers. Accordingly, the URL for the hospital goes to http://www.ucirvinehealth.org/, of which the hospital is just one part. It is not a hospital, it is a player in the regional health care industry

This question applies to all 5 UC Health Centers, and I will post a reference to this discussion in the respective talk pages

 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_San_Diego_Health
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Davis_Medical_Center
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCLA_Health_System

For UC Davis the discrepancy is most striking in the business box where the logo reads "UC David Health System", but the article is entitled UC Davis Medical Center, the name of a hospital, which is just one part of it The pages for San Diego and UCLA and more system-oriented The UCSF https://www.ucsfhealth.org/ page seems to refer to a single hospital, but a closer look shows that it is really 4 hospitals and a long lists of local providers https://www.ucsfhealth.org/clinics/specialty_care/by_city.html

Ideally we had a main article for UC Medical Centers, which present the five regional "systems", and contains information about their constitution, leadership, and complex interaction with the academic environment, the medical schools, and provides resources about their financial performance

Plus it would be good to re-organize the articles for the 5 centers to reflect the system-nature, and present the (building of the) hospital as a part of the larger system. I myself have have provided some contributions to the article about the UCLA Health System, but the page is far from perfect so far Velocipedus (talk) 00:12, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Please provide reliable, external sources for your assertions. See Third-party sources and Identifying reliable sources. Regards, James(talk/contribs) 00:25, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've tried to clarify this distinction by separating UC San Diego Medical Center into three articles: UC San Diego Health (to which UC San Diego Medical Center and UC San Diego Health System still redirect, owing to the historical use), UC San Diego Medical Center, Hillcrest, and Jacobs Medical Center. I urge other editors to do the same with the various UC health systems and medical centers to distinguish each system and its clinics from the main inpatient hospital building. I disagree with the assertion that UC Health deserves its own article, as the individual academic health systems are all operated with separate data centers and administrations. UC Health has yet to develop an identity of its own or link the five medical centers (six systems including Riverside) into a cohesive network. There is little to no third-party coverage of this entity, which is why I recommend the aforementioned. Tritons Rising  (talk) 06:12, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
