One of the big trends I see happening in the Health IT world is that every company wants to be a thought leader in the industry. It's a powerful thing to provide thought leadership to your potential customers. It can also be an extremely challenging thing for an organization to sell that type of investment to their executive leadership team.
With that in mind, we've been working on some really compelling thought leadership marketing packages for health IT companies. It's literally a fully integrated marketing package which integrates with our existing readership, email marketing, social media mentions (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Plus, etc), and ongoing traffic from search engines and related posts. Plus, you can use that thought leadership content in your own marketing efforts.
You can see some of the companies who've been sponsoring content on our network of Healthcare IT blogs. Barry Haitoff from Medical Management Corporation of America has been doing a series of posts focused on ways ambulatory practices can improve revenue. The Breakaway Group has sponsored a series of posts called Breakaway Thinking which focuses on ways to really improve what we're doing in healthcare and break away from the competition. Vishal Gandhi from ClinicSpectrum has done an amazing job with the Cost Effective Healthcare Workflow Series. I love the way Vishal merges both technology and people into the optimal workflow.
I love the win win that these sponsored series provide. They allow us to keep the lights on here at Healthcare Scene, while still meeting our primary goal of providing value to the readers. We'd love for you to Contact Us if you're interested in sponsoring your own series of blog posts.
Along with the sponsored series, we're also extremely grateful for the various advertisers that have supported the site as well. Here are a few of the advertisers that have renewed their ad recently. Take a look at them and see if one of them could help you in your job.
Ambir (Advertiser since 1/2010) – I appreciate Ambir since they've been a sponsor for so long. I have one of their scanners on my desk and it's worked great for me. Plus, they're working on some really interesting workflow iPad applications that are really exciting too. Check them out to see what they're working on.
Digital Health Conference (Advertiser since 7/2011) – This is the 4th year the Digital Health Conference, organized by NYeC, has advertised with us to promote there event in November. I'll be at the event (see my full Fall HIT Conference schedule), so let me know if you plan to attend. Plus, you can get 20% off your registration if you use the discount code: HCS. Hopefully I'll get to see many of you readers at the event.
Cerner (Advertiser since 9/2011) – Another great long term supporter of the site. Cerner Ambulatory EHR really needs no introduction. If you're looking for an EHR, check them out. Their iPad application still had the coolest EHR iPad application feature I've seen: one swipe prescription refill.
gMed (Advertiser since 8/2013) – I had a really great chance this summer to get to know gMed on a much deeper level when they invited me to give the Keynote on the future of EHR at their EHR user conference. They certainly do make a compelling case for their Gastro specific EHR software. There are things they do because they're specialty specific that you'll really never see from a general EHR vendor.
Modernizing Medicine (Advertiser since 1/2014) – This is another specialty specific EHR vendor that takes a really unique approach to how you document a visit. If they are in your specialty (Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Plastic Surgery, Otolaryngology, Gastroenterology, Urology, Rheumatology, Cosmetics), be sure to get a demo and see what makes them unique. I've also been invited to speak at their EHR user conference in November.
Finally thanks to the 3.6 million times this website's been loaded by a reader and the 2166 people who subscribed to EMR and EHR and read the almost daily emails. To those who haven't yet subscribed, here's a link to subscribe to all the Healthcare Scene blogs you find interesting. It's really hard to believe that we're well over 5 years and 1,344 blog posts into this journey and in some ways it feels like we're just getting started.

Here is the video of Charlotte that I mentioned. The first verse we taught Charlotte and what we refer to as "her verse" is John 3:16. She knew the verse she was supposed to say, we even practiced with her saying it to her teacher that morning, but I guess in that moment she just reverted back to the good 'ol John 3:16 :)

Charlotte at VBS

We're Still Here!
Sorry for the lack in posting lately. I've been out of commission for a few weeks. Here's why...
Yup! I'm preggers again! We're all thrilled, including the girls. Well, mainly Charlotte. Naomi is still clueless to all that's going on. Charlotte shared the news with the family, which was especially cute. We stopped by my Dad & stepmom, Bobbie's, house on the 4th of July and in the middle of a conversation Charlotte just blurted out, "And guess what? Mommy has a baby in her belly!" And later that day while we were out at Lake Swan Camp, where Jared's dad is the new camp director, his dad prayed for our meal and after "Amen" Charlotte said, "You forgot to pray for the new baby in Mommy's belly!"
Other things that have gone on around here...
The girls and I have kept very busy.
Naomi has had much business to tend to.
And I've been teaching the girls important things, like how to curl your hair. Life is rough, I tell ya what.
Back in June, we went down to Gissy Springs, southwest (I think?) of Ocala. It's owned by some good friends of my grandparents on my dad's side and they invited all of the Meng family to come down for my grandfather's 90th birthday party.
Pop, all embarrassed that such a fuss was made over him :)
And this is part of the spring area. The whole setup out there is beautiful! Kayaks, snorkel gear, rope swing, that screened in area for the food, camping area with a volleyball court... It is beautiful!
Also in June, we drove over to Gainesville to watch Megan pinned as an officer in the Gainesville Police Department. She kicked butt in the academy and had the fastest hiring process in the history of the department. And now she's packing heat!
Charlotte went to VBS at our church and had a blast! The Sunday afterwards, all the kids sang some songs and shared some verses they learned throughout the week. Charlotte was one of the kids they asked to share her verse. We have a cute video of that that I'll try to upload soon. From the picture, you can see how into the songs and motions she got!
And, in other exciting news... we have a new niece! Katie Joy was born on June 10th and weighed a whopping 5 lbs 6 oz! She is tiny and precious and just perfect!
That about sums up the past month or two around here. We've been busy but the last couple weeks have slowed down a lot with the pregnancy hitting me hard. The nausea seems better than it was with Charlotte and Naomi but it's still wiping me out. It seems to be getting a little better so hopefully I'm on the upswing! I have my first appointment next week and will hopefully have some alien-like ultrasound pictures to share!

Varsity Rowing Shoves Off On Saturday
By ODU Athletics
Oct. 16, 2008
On August 1 of last year Heather Weisel was handed the reins to Old Dominion University's upstart women's varsity rowing program. She's spent the last 14 months putting together what are the essential pieces of establishing a national caliber rowing program, and now the Lady Monarchs are just two days away from taking their first step towards that goal. This Saturday ODU will take to the water for the first time at the prestigious Head of the Charles in Boston.
"It's been a long wait with a lot of anticipation," says Weisel who was also the head coach for the ODU club team from 1988 to 1994. "Now it's all come to fruition and everyone is excited. It's amazing to have the Head of the Charles be our first race because most of these girls have never experienced anything like it. There's no race like it in the world."
The world's largest two-day rowing event, the Head of the Charles attracts more than 300,000 spectators and 7,500 athletes from around the world competing in 52 different race events. The Lady Monarchs will compete in the Women's Club Four with the team of Kady Stapp (Coxswain), Alicia Smith (Stroke), Ashley Olmstead (2), Marie Gately (3) and Meredith McPherson (Bow). Determining which four ladies would have the distinction of rowing in ODU's first varsity event was a tough one for Weisel. As a staff the Lady Monarch coaches looked at several factors.
"When we chose these four rowers we examined a number of different factors," added Weisel. "These ladies not only had some of the top scores on our erg (rowing machine) tests, but they also proved to be very coachable and able to make changes to their stroke as we went along. As we get deeper into the season boat chemistry will also play a large part in determining our lineup. Each one of our young ladies possesses a different talent and we have to determine which groups move the boat well together."
After signing 14 scholarship rowers and adding 15 walk-ons in September, it became pretty evident that the Lady Monarchs had a lot of raw talent, but needed to work fast to turn that into promise. They did just that, rowing between 20 and 27 kilometers a day during fall training, in addition to the countless hours they put in on the rowing machines and in the weight room. The culmination of the preseason schedule pays off Saturday at Noon when the Women's Club Four shoves off.
The Head of the Charles presents a very challenging course with several turns and what can be an overwhelming environment for inexperienced rowers. With that being said, Weisel and her staff have several benchmarks with which to measure Saturday's performance.
"Our primary goal would be to finish in the top half of the 39-team field because that would help us gain entry into next year's Head of the Charles. If we can finish in the top 10 it would have been an incredible race considering this group has only been together for five days and it's our coxswain's first time on this course. We talked about keeping our head in our own boat and not getting distracted by the 300,000 spectators who line the course. If we can do that, I think we have a chance."

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women, killing more people than cancers of the breast, prostate and colon combined, with approximately 230,000 new cases of lung cancer diagnosed and 160,000 deaths from lung cancer every year in the United States. Tobacco smoke causes most cases of lung cancer. The American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) advise smokers to quit and recommend that people who are at high risk for lung cancer, such as older heavy smokers, consult their physicians to determine if lung cancer screening with computed tomography (CT) is appropriate for them.
The goal of lung cancer screening is to find cancer at a small size before it has spread outside the lung. Currently, most lung cancers are detected only after they are already causing symptoms, by which time the disease has spread outside the lung in up to 30% of cases. The landmark National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) of 53,454 current and former smokers has shown that early detection with CT reduces deaths from lung cancer by 20%.
The ACR and the RSNA support the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) draft recommendation ("Grade B") for CT lung cancer screening of high-risk individuals (those 55 through 79 years old who have a 30-pack-year or greater history of smoking). Since the publication of the initial NLST results, lung cancer advocacy groups, particularly the Lung Cancer Alliance, have actively campaigned for recognition of the efficacy of lung cancer screening with CT. These efforts have contributed to the recognition of this life-saving tool by the USPSTF.
Currently, there is not enough evidence to support lung cancer screening for people who are at low or moderate risk for lung cancer including younger individuals, those with less smoking history or other risk factors such as a significant exposure to secondhand smoke or other cancer causing substances. These individuals should consult with their physician and engage in shared-decision making to evaluate their individual risk and determine if there may be a role for CT screening.
Before undergoing CT screening, individuals should be made aware of the relative benefits and risks of lung cancer screening with CT, including what the likelihood is of an abnormal screening examination and how that is likely to be managed. The relative benefit of lung cancer screening with CT outweighs the potential increase in lifetime risk of cancer related to the radiation exposure from annual screening CT in older high risk smokers for whom screening is recommended. However, appropriate precautions should always be taken to minimize radiation exposure through the use of the "As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)" principle.
High-quality, cost-effective screening on a national basis requires standardized processes based on the data and outcomes from the NLST and other clinical trials. This includes appropriate identification of individuals for screening, the CT screening technique itself, reporting of the CT results and the management of positive results, including incidental significant findings, and the inclusion of smoking cessation as part of any lung cancer screening program. Screening programs should also promote awareness of the benefits of lung cancer screening for the recommended population.
The RSNA and the ACR look forward to working with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the National Cancer Institute, Congress and other key stakeholders in taking the necessary steps to create a sustainable and effective CT lung cancer screening process. The ACR will work to provide as much guidance as possible to providers and individuals as it works to finalize official practice guidelines and standards. Both organizations will continue to develop educational materials on the elements for a high-quality screening program that can be implemented in all practice settings.The ACR and the RSNA also suggest that patients and healthcare providers refer to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline for lung cancer screening.
