The Clinical Nurse Leader: Its Time Has Come Presentation to: 2010 CNL Summit The CNL: On the Leading Edge of Healthcare Reform San Diego, CA January 21, 2010 Rosemary Gibson, M.Sc. Author, The Treatment Trap and Wall of Silence Overview of Presentation Discuss how the work of clinical nurse leaders is timely in the context of health reform Explore ideas for how clinical nurse leaders can multiply their impact Highlight what the work of clinical nurse leaders means for patients and reflect on the goodness of it. The Timeliness of CNLs: Health Reform Health reform: unlike 1994 health reform which was about insurance coverage, now, coverage and quality are on the table Quality matters at high levels President Obama mentioned HAIs, medical mistakes, and overuse in speeches and interviews This dialogue is responsive to a public that is expressing its concern about quality and safety. The Timeliness of CNLs: Public Reporting Public reporting of health care indicators, including nursing sensitive measures, is here now and will continue It's not a matter of if, but when Still learning how to do public reporting in a way that meets the needs of providers and also the public The Timeliness of CNLs: Payment Reform Health care reform is calling for payment reforms that move toward accountable care organizations and paying for bundles of care rather than individual care processes We cannot continue with "1,000 measures in 1,000 days" approach Policy Voice for Nursing on Quality Nursing Quality and Safety Alliance being established at George Washington University Nursing as neutral convener and facilitator Its purpose is to support a collective voice for nursing on national policy especially CMS actions on public reporting and payment reform, and the work of the National Quality Forum among others Policy Voice for Nursing on Quality NQF is the go-to place for obtaining consensus around future measures that CMS will use for public reporting and payment reform CMS will continue to ask for comments in the Federal Register on proposed measures for public reporting and nursing needs a clear and sustained voice What if: mini public policy internships for nurses with NQSA to bridge the worlds of policy and clinical care What CNLs Do For Quality What caught my attention about the role of the CNL: "Outcome-based decision making, implementation of evidence-based strategies within a microsystem… "The CNL evaluates patient outcomes, assesses cohort risk, and has the decision making authority to change care plans when necessary…." CNLs and TCAB An arranged marriage with TCAB? Improve quality and safety of patient care (in and beyond med-surg) Increase vitality and retention of nurses Engage and improve patient and family experience of care Improve the effectiveness of the entire team Power of Discovery vs. Someone Told Me To Do It A narrative from Dr. Paul Miles, VP American Board of Pediatrics A case of overuse of a surgery for sinusitis and what his practice did to discover the reasons for it The Power of Discovery vs. Someone Told Me To Do It He began to rigorously examine the care he was providing to his patients. One of his first efforts was to reduce the number of children who were having a new surgical procedure that he and the physicians in his practice believed was being performed unnecessarily by surgeons in their community. A group of ear, nose and throat (ENT) physicians had discovered a new procedure, endoscopic sinus surgery, to treat chronic sinusitis. The ENT doctors convinced the health insurance company to pay them $12,000 for performing it… The Power of Discovery vs. Someone Told Me To Do It After that, the rural Idaho community had one of the highest rates of this procedure in the nation. Dr. Miles and his colleagues believed that the surgery was expensive, potentially dangerous, and of questionable efficacy. More than 100 children a year in their small community had had this operation. Dr. Miles says, "The CT scans for some of the kids looked pretty normal and our pediatric group was upset that they were having surgery." The Power of Discovery vs. Someone Told Me To Do It "The five of us pediatricians in our practice looked at our referral pattern to the ENTs for this surgery and how we defined, diagnosed and treated chronic sinusitis. What we found surprised us. In a three-month period we diagnosed chronic sinusitis in 150 children. One physician in our practice diagnosed it 96 times and referred the patients for surgery, while another doctor diagnosed it only twice and recommended surgery… The Power of Discovery vs. Someone Told Me To Do It …With this huge difference, we asked ourselves how each of us defined chronic sinusitis and learned that we had six different definitions. We also asked how each of us examined the children, and it turns out that we examined them differently. To our surprise, we learned that we were part of the problem of the increase number of surgeries because we were inappropriately diagnosing children with chronic sinusitis, which led parents to seek relief with the new surgical procedure… …While we were indignant with the ENT physicians performing these operations for what we considered 'an acute remunerative procedure,' the finger of blame came back at us. We developed a practice guideline and were successful in reducing the number of children in our community who had the surgery… …Now, we ask ourselves 3 questions: - Why do you do what you do - How do you know what works? - How can you improve what you do?" Article From 'Fast Company' Toyota's Approach to Quality "Typically, the Big Three auto makers take an all too American approach to the idea of improvement. It's episodic, it's goal-oriented, it's something special. It's a pale imitation of the approach at the Georgetown (Kentucky) Toyota plant…" "…If you go to the Big Three, you'd find improvement projects just like you'd find at Georgetown. But they would be led by some kind of engineering group, or a Six Sigma black belt, or a lean-manufacturing guru of some kind. They might even do as good a job as they did at Georgetown. They might say, 'Look what we did…' "In a year, that happens a couple of times in a whole plant for the Big Three. And it would get all kinds of publicity in the company. Toyota is doing it in every single department, every single day. They're doing it on their own, no black belts, and they're doing it regularly, not just once." Swim Upstream? Can CNLs multiply their impact by swimming upstream? A Case of an 8-Year Old Boy on Oxygen at a Midwest Hospital Patient has asthma, pneumonia On oxygen, bronchodilators, antibiotics Transported for a chest x-ray and on oxygen at 15 l / minute Upon return to the floor, oxygen tank was empty Patient was cyanotic, admitted to intensive care Investigation/Process Improvement: Oxygen Cylinder Hand-off Patient is being transported, intubated, ventilated with ambu bag at 8 liters per minute of oxygen supplied by this tank. Please fill out questionnaire. Question: How Long Before the Tank is Empty? 1650 psi 8 Liters/minute Ifthe trip to radiology and back may take an hour, do you have enough oxygen for the trip? Investigation findings & source of process improvements Profound lack of knowledge re: oxygen cylinders except for respiratory therapists and anesthesiologists Inadequate hand-offs between med-surg units and diagnostic areas Need for standardized reliable methodology regardless of training, experience Oxygen Tank Assessment Tool Opportunity? Is it possible for CNLs to identify a known hazard and work together with manufacturers and purchasing organizations to engineer the hazard out of the health care system? It would be broadly analogous to the actions anesthesiologists took in the early 1980s to improve anesthesia patient safety… What Your Work Means to Patients Have you ever thought about what your work means to patients? Let's step back for a minute. Think about the totality of your work on improving outcomes… What Your Work Means to Patients Has your work reduced harm from falls? Pressure ulcers? Failure to rescue? Infections? Every data point is a person Your work prevents these events Reflect for a moment on the good of it all… Back home, take time to honor the goodness of it Narrative Elderly confused woman recently admitted to the hospital; family present in the unit Patient was missing during the night Nurse supervisor informed the CNO Narrative "… It was a Sunday morning and I was having breakfast with the night staff. It was Nurse Recognition Week. A new nurse supervisor came up to me and said that a patient had been missing during the night… Narrative …The family was angry, blaming the hospital. I said, 'Let's go talk with the family.' We walked to the patient's room. The supervisor was a big guy and he was very shaken. I was frightened… Benevolent Gestures … I went into the room, sat down and introduced myself and said, 'I am so, so sorry. I came to apologize on behalf of the hospital.' The daughter started crying and I held her hand. I realized the family was blaming themselves in part because they were there the whole time. More Benevolent Gestures …I said, 'There is not going to be any blaming in this room.' …After searching the hospital, we did find the patient… More Benevolent Gestures … We had the patient thoroughly checked in the Emergency Department; they went over every inch of her whole body, and the family saw that we took great care in making sure their mother was alright. I stopped in to see the woman and her family every day… Restoring Trust … The family thanked me for coming to see them -- they were stunned. We restored the family's trust in us. I said to them, 'If you have lost faith in the unit where your mother went missing, we can move her to another unit.' The family did not want that – because their trust had been restored… Role Modeling for Nursing Staff … The nursing staff were in the room and standing in the hallway as I was talking to the family and holding the daughters' hands. … They had never seen someone take ownership. I was stunned to hear the next day how many people knew about this. People came up to me in the halls and said, 'I heard about what happened and what you did…' Breaking the Cycle … I remember as a 25-year old nurse being publicly ridiculed for a mistake. There was a surgeon I trusted. The patient's hand was swelling after surgery. He said to cut the back of the dressing. I should have asked more questions. He screamed at me in the middle of the nursing station. Breaking the Cycle … Now, years later in my role at the hospital, nothing punitive is going to happen if someone makes an unintentional mistake…. "Drive out fear so that everyone may work effectively…." Deming "A patient is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to serve him." Gandhi "Be the change you want to see." You are the change you want to see.

I like necklaces like this and was looking for one in a gold tone, but they're kind of hard to find. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the necklace. The photo does not do it justice and it's quickly becoming my go-to necklace for casual events or dressy. I receive a lot of compliments on it and am glad I got it.
I like the neclace, but it is smaller than I anticipated. Color of stones are very nice. It is very delicate looking. If you want a chunkier look, this necklace is not for you.

Very interesting article, Daniel. While I agree in parts, I do like to tweet pictures of food. I include these each time that I check in on Foursquare at a place I've dined as a way of giving my recommendation about the establishment. I do know the difference, however, to what you are describing and would only recommend more of this to those who are chefs, sharing menus and it falls within their business goals.
I also like to let those who send me compliments to let them know that I got their tweet. There are so many more poeple who think tweeting is a one way conversation (these are whom I consider spammers) and I'd like to think my response sets me apart from them. Your RIP point is excellent; I agree whole heartedly and will likely share your nugget. Thanks for a great infocomic to go along with your writting; on whole quite enjoyable. Thank you! Wishing you continued success, Beth

The Stanley Cup Caperby Rob - August 24th, 2013
Ten years ago today — Sunday, August 24, 2003 — the following short story, entitled "The Stanley Cup Caper," was first published, in, of all places, The Toronto Star, Canada's largest-circulation newspaper.
The Star had commissioned this story from me in honour of the fact that the World Science Fiction Convention, or Worldcon, was about to begin in Toronto. Since it had been thirty years since the Worldcon had last been in Toronto, the editor asked me to predict what Toronto might be like thirty-odd years in the future (in the early 2030s).
When I received the commission, I'd just finished reading Dan Brown's runaway bestseller The Da Vinci Code (which I had rather enjoyed), and so puzzles and mysteries were very much on my mind. I'm not a hockey fan — sacrilege for a Canadian, I know — but somehow hit on this premise.
To my delight, the four opening words — a riff on famed Canadian sportscaster Foster Hewitt's trademark "He shoots! He scores!" — are included (along with twenty-two other quotes from me) in The Penguin Dictionary of Popular Canadian Quotations, edited by John Robert Colombo.
Here's the story:
"She shoots! She scores! For the first time in sixty-seven years, the Toronto Maple Leafs have won the Stanley Cup! Captain Karen Lopez and her team have skated to victory as the 2031 NHL champions. The hometown crowd here is going wild, and — wait! Wait! Ladies and gentlemen, this is incredible … we've just received word that the Stanley Cup trophy is missing!"
Detectives Joginder Singh and Trista Chong let their car drive them east along the Gardiner Expressway. At Bathurst, the vehicle headed down into the tunnel. Jo shuddered; he hated the underground portion of the Gardiner. Sadly, his fear of tunnels also kept him from using the subway, even though it now ran all the way from Pearson Airport to the Pickering Solar Power Plant.

2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Problems
The upper dash may crack, most commonly on vehicles in warm climates and exposed to a lot of sunlight. The common repair is to replace the upper instrument trim panel. Information on a technical service bulletin or extended warranty is not available at this time.
One or more heater & AC (HVAC) air delivery and/or temperature mode door actuator may fail. This can result in incorrect air delivery or temperature. If this occurs, fault code(s) stored in the HVAC control module should be available to assist with diagnoses.
The power door lock actuators may become slow to operate or stop working completely and require replacement.
2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Questions

took to a local shop and said it is coming from the timing chain area nee to know if the tensioner starts to go bad will this cause the noise or is the chain or what else it could be.
I have a 79 international scout that I did an LS swap in. The engine is a 5.3 out of a 2008 Tahoe. The trans is a 4L60 out of a 2007 Tahoe (supposedly). The transfer case is a NP241c. Today is febuary 7. Since Christmas the tranny has failed 4 times. The tranny shop said the trans oil pump ...
from my rear end differential. Can I just add differential fluid
2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Recalls
The heated washer module under the hood could overheat due to excessive current draw. Under certain conditions, this could result in an under hood fire. This previous recall attempt in 2008 to repair this concern did not have the expected success. Dealers will now permanently disable and remove the heated washer module to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin on June 20, 2010.
The wiring to the washer system heater may overheat due to a failure in the heater module. This could cause other electrical features to malfunction, smoke to develop, and an electrical fire could result. Dealers will install a wire harness with an inline fuse to protect the washer heater module. This recall is expected to begin on September 12, 2008. The General Motors recall number is 08048.

excellent area completely central
very fast feed back from Dana
the room is spacious ; and situation in a hotel give access to a well equipped gym
Timeshare is a hotel in union square. Great access to everything we needed for our business trip. Great price for the quality, $200 less per night than the hotel across the street that hosted our seminar. Will absolutely keep this place in mind for future visits
Stayed in the timeshare. It was very nice, clean, and good location for the city.
Dana's place was fantastic! Easy to check in, great space, easy WiFi - definitely a great place for folks who are looking to be close to union square or traveling for work. Dana was really easy to connect with, a real pleasure.
The Donatello is fantastic. Close to Union Square and shopping. Convenient restaurants. The pull out bed was comfortable and the club level was perfect for relaxing after our meetings each day! We will definitely be back! Thanks, Dana!!
This is my second time staying at Dana's place. It's easily accessible via the BART and the check-in process is super simple. The place looks just as pictured. I will stay there again!

I am a timeshare owner who loves to travel. Timeshares (resale, NEVER EVER direct from developer NO MATTER WHAT) have immeasurably enhanced my family's travel lifestyle.

Pavel Datsyuk scored twice and Danny DeKeyser's first goal of the season stood as the game-winner as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Vancouver Canucks 5-3 to earn their first four-game win streak of the season. Detroit has recorded points in 10 of their last 12 games (8-2-2) overall. Datsyuk now has nine goals and 15 points (9-6—15) in 13 games this season. The game was delayed 29 seconds into the first period after a power surge knocked out the lights in the building.
*Henrik Zetterberg (0-2—2) extended his point streak to four games (1-5—6). It was Zetterberg's sixth multi-point/assist game of the season. He leads all Red Wings in assists (18) and points (23).

President affirms commitment to democratic process after acknowledging delays
Speaking to a 13,000-strong crowd on Sunday, President Issaias Afeworki marked the occasion of his ten years in power with a commitment to reform, but blamed the slow road to democracy on a number of factors.
"The political process to which we have been committed, which was interrupted due to the war of aggression, external sabotage and internal betrayal, will continue", he said.
But many feel disappointed with what independence has brought ordinary people. "It is difficult to forget the past, even now the past preys on our mind but we have to look for what makes our life better," said one man among the crowds in Asmara.
Poor relations
Earlier in the week, Issaias had said he "didn't feel isolated", even though in October he accused Eritrea's neighbours, Ethiopia, Sudan and Yemen of setting up an "axis of belligerence".
Relations with Sudan took a turn for the worse last October, when Khartoum claimed Asmara was backing rebels in western Sudan's Kassala region, a claim seconded by Amnesty International.
Ethiopian POWs returned two years after the war ends
Between 1998 and 2000, war with Ethiopia over a border village, Badme, led to ten thousand dead and brought a conscription policy for 18 to 40 year old men that Amnesty International claims has kept some in the military for years against their will.
Yemen's relations with Eritrea have also been strained after Issaias's 1995 invasion of the Greater Hanish islands that were later returned to Yemen after an international tribunal demarcated the border.
Democratic future?
The president made no mention in his anniversary speech of when a presidential election might be held, when political prisoners may be released, or when independent journalists will be allowed to operate.
The ban on independent journalism came in force during September 2001, the same month that the Chief Justice resigned over allegations of governmental interference in judicial processes.
The subsequent detention without trial of 18 journalists and 11 former government officials became "issues of national security" and therefore out of bounds as topics for discussion, according to the president in an interview earlier in the week.
Among the 11 former government officials detained, Vice-President Mahmoud Ahmed Sheriffo and former Foreign Ministers Haile Woldetensae and Petros Solomon, have been labelled "traitors" but have had no specific allegations made against them.
The 10 detained journalists have been condemned as "mercenaries and spies", but no specific charges have been made in the last twenty one months either, though Eritrean law requires that charges be made within 48 hours of arrest.
According to Amnesty International, there is a feeling of fear among ordinary people to make public criticisms of the one-party state and the promised democratic processes made at the time of independence.
Another non-governmental organisation, Human Rights Watch, claims that no lawyer or judge dare challenge the detentions. In some cases, it alleges, political prisoners detained incommunicado in cells are not even acknowledged as detained, to the grave concern of their friends and families.

BETHESDA, Md. -- In a crowded Food and Drug Administration laboratory, a scientist fires a miniature laser at cells from a cancer patient, a purple blast that captures normal, precancerous and tumor cells.
This microscopic freeze-frame is key to a new experiment: tracking the chain reactions of proteins that fuel cancer before, during and after each patient is treated.
The hope is that doctors one day could tell in an instant the best chemotherapy for each patient, when one treatment is about to fail and it's time to switch, or when a relapse is near -- merely by looking at the "protein fingerprint" inside patients' cells.
By tracking how patterns of proteins change, "you get almost the story of cancer in this patient," explains FDA microbiologist Emanuel Petricoin, who co-directs the joint FDA-National Cancer Institute research program.
It's called proteomics, the study of all proteins in living cells. Biotechnology companies are using it in a quest to discover disease-causing proteins and create drugs that disable them.
But the FDA-NCI collaboration marks the first time proteomics is being used in clinical trials -- a step toward using proteins to guide real-world treatment and diagnosis, not just hunt new drugs.
Today, the only way to know if cancer treatment is working is to "wait and see in six months, and hope," says NCI's Dr. Lance Liotta. If proteomics works, "we're not doing that ever again."
It's a highly unusual program for the FDA, known for regulating therapies, not creating them.
Customized therapy
Together, Petricoin and Liotta have discovered more than 140 proteins that change as cancers of the breast, ovary, prostate and esophagus grow, making them new targets for treatment and earlier diagnosis.
More important, Liotta says the cancer institute needed FDA's untapped expertise in how drugs work, and why so many fail, to spur proteomics in ways industry may not push, such as customizing therapy so that patients get the most effective therapy at the lowest, safest dose possible.
Genes contain the instructions that create proteins, molecules that do the body's work by directing cells' action. A mutated gene can create an abnormal protein, setting off a chain reaction that ends in disease.
Many drugs target single abnormal proteins. But proteins form networks, almost like a circuit board, that direct different cells. Those patterns can fluctuate minute-to-minute, depending on what medications or other compounds affect the proteins. And with cancer, a drug targeting just one protein may help some patients -- but other times tumors just reroute themselves along the protein network to evade treatment.
"Because everything is hooked up in circuits, it gives cancer cells the advantage, a fantastic advantage," Liotta says.
Enter the FDA-NCI proteomics program.
Several hundred patients, mostly ovarian cancer patients, enrolled in various treatment studies at the National Institutes of Health's hospital will undergo additional biopsies before, during and after their therapy.
First, Liotta's laboratory created a special laser microscope to extract cells -- normal, premalignant and invasive cancer -- from that biopsied tissue. Unlike traditional methods that yield a mishmash of proteins, this "laser capture microdissection" isolates pure cells and, in seconds, transfers them to a special film that preserves the patterns proteins make as normal cells turn cancerous.
Then, using measures of molecular weight, Petricoin developed a way to tell, in minutes, what proteins are present in that snapshot, and in what strengths. The result looks like a bar code, a pattern that is the unique fingerprint for each patient's cancer.
Now the challenge: Track how each patient's protein patterns change as a result of different therapies. Those changes should make clear if the patient is responding or needs to switch therapies.
