EHRs, Meaningful Use Get Spotlight This Week
Hospitals and physicians looking to get a better understanding of what is meant by "meaningful use" of electronic health records (EHRs)—and how they could qualify for health information technology funds under the economic stimulus measure passed in March—got their wishes this week.
Expanded definitions by an industry group, release of a new consensus framework report, and two days of testimony before a federal panel by nearly three dozen experts got the ball rolling.
Under the new stimulus law, Medicare incentive payments can be made up to four years to hospitals and up to five years for physicians who meet "meaningful use" and "meaningful user" criteria of certified EHRs. The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), after input from its membership, released new definitions April 27 to specify what is meant by that term.
To be eligible for the incentive payments, the HIMSS definition said that hospitals and physicians must use the technology in a meaningful manner, exchange electronic health information to improve the quality of care, and submit clinical quality measures—and other measures—as selected by the Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary. Also, hospitals and physicians must meet the definition within a specified timeframe, which—as described in the stimulus bill—must be made increasingly stringent over time by the secretary.
On April 30, the Markle Foundation's Connecting for Health Collaborative released several key principles that outline an initial approach to achieving objectives with HIT under the stimulus package. The report containing the principles is supported by a group of individuals representing a diverse group of healthcare, business and consumer groups including the American Academy of Family Physicians, America's Health Insurance Plans, Consumers Union, and the Joint Commission.
"These are the expectations that have to be set from the start—that once you deploy technology, it's too late to start to come up with new and different goals," said Carol Diamond, MD, managing director of the Markle Foundation, about the report containing the principles.
She added that meaningful use is not about using technology for the sake of technology, but instead about improving health. The group agreed on seven principles of meaningful use and qualification and certification of EHRs. Several of these principles are:
- The overarching nationwide goals of health IT investments are to improve healthcare quality, reduce growth in costs, stimulate innovation, and protect privacy.
- These goals can be achieved only through effective use of information to support better decision-making and more effective care processes that improve health outcomes and reduce cost growth.
- Meaningful use should be demonstrable in the first years of implementation (2011-12) without creating undue burden on clinicians and practices.
Also, during mid-week, the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics heard more than two days from experts about what the definition of "meaningful use" should encompass.
Jonathan Perlin, MD, PhD, with the Hospital Corporation of America, which has 160 hospitals nationwide, told the panel that "it is imperative that we provide clear guidance on the desired outcomes at the end of the defined period."
He agreed with a recent editorial written by David Blumenthal, MD, the new national coordinator for health information technology, in the New England Journal of Medicine, that HIT was improving healthcare and value. "Thus, the desired outcomes of meaningful use must transcend technical specifications and include guidance addressing improvement in safety and quality that are intended."
Farzad Mostashari, MD, assistant commissioner of the Primary Care Information Project, within the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, said "the transformative potential of health IT is to provide the information necessary for organized care delivery and drive transparency in healthcare outcomes."
The endpoints for meaningful use can include incentive payments tied to measures "that matter and that will sustain improved clinical outcomes," such as blood pressure control, evidence based care (smoking cessation therapy and aspirin use), patient safety, continuity of care, patient satisfaction, and compliance with public health reporting, Mostashari added.
Elliott Fisher, MD, of Dartmouth University, said his personal history in healthcare as a physician, manager, and patient has "lead me to believe that meaningful use of HIT can best be realized through implementing systems that have basic functionalities that facilitate the care of patients by physicians, nurses and other providers," he noted. "These systems need not necessarily be extremely complicated."

It Buuuuuurns!: Scientists Invent Mug That Keeps Beverages At Perfect Temperature
Physicists have invented a coffee mug to keep your beverage at the ideal temperature for 30 minutes. What is the ideal temperature? Allegedly 58 degrees Celsius (136.4 degrees Fahrenheit). I beg to differ.
The key for this magic trick is physics and PCM--phase change material--an extraordinary substance used in construction and winter clothing. PCM is capable of storing and releasing heat or cold.
The perfect mug follows the same principle: It is made of hollow ceramics. Inside there's an aluminum structure--as you can see in the image above--which gets filled with PCM. When you pour in your hot coffee, the heat gets absorbed reaching your personal optimum level based on the amount of PCM in the cup's interior. According to Klaus Sedlbauer, head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics, you can customize this on manufacturing.
You want to know the ideal temperature of my beverage? It's called ICE COLD BEER. But I will drink it hot if I have to. Last summer I drank a case of beer that had been in the trunk of my car for a week. I peed fire, true story.

Adrian Beltre goes 4-for-4 with 2 home runs to lead Texas to an 8-4 win over the O's.
The Orioles lost their sixth game in their past eight Tuesday night, an 8-4 defeat in front of an announced 29,160 at Camden Yards. For the second straight night, the Orioles were on the verge of breaking through against a Texas starter but let early opportunities slip away.

The Orioles have lost 20 games this season in which they've scored four or more runs. While their starting pitching has been disappointing — because of both bloated line scores and the rotation's inability to consistently pitch deep into games — the Orioles offense has made up for that on many nights. But over the past two games, the Orioles are 3-for-19 with runners in scoring position.
"We had opportunities and didn't cash in," said center fielder Adam Jones. "We cashed in a few, but overall, we let a few runners in scoring position slip away. Against this Texas team, you can't do that."
It didn't help that Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre outslugged the Orioles on his own, driving in five runs and hitting a pair of homers off Orioles left-hander Zach Britton for his 25th career multi-homer game.
The Orioles (49-42) have lost 12 of their past 15 regular season games against the Rangers.
Britton allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks in five innings. In his six major league starts this season, he's lasted at least six innings just twice.
Britton was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after the game, as was Kevin Gausman, who allowed two runs in 1 2/3 innings of relief. The Orioles will announce corresponding moves today, one of which will be activating starter Wei-Yin Chen off the disabled list.
Orioles pitchers have allowed 119 home runs, most in the majors. The Orioles entered Tuesday night's game having not allowed a homer in their previous four games, a season-best streak.
Beltre, who has 20 homers this season, entered the night hitless in three career at-bats against Britton (2-3), but he had three hits in as many at-bats against him and finished 4-for-4.
"Beltre beat me," Britton said. "I did him some favors by putting some guys on ahead of him. Just didn't make the quality pitch. Left some balls out over the plate, he's not missing too many mistakes and didn't miss any today. Can't let a guy like that beat you and I did by putting some guys on ahead of him."
In his past 13 games, Beltre is batting .471 (24-for-51) with six homers and 13 RBIs. In his past three regular-season games against the Orioles, Beltre has five homers (he hit three in a meeting Aug. 22 in Texas).
Britton's 2-1 lead heading into the fifth inning disappeared as the Rangers rallied for four runs with two outs. After Leonys Martin singled but was picked off first base by Britton, Ian Kinsler singled and Jurickson Profar walked. Nelson Cruz then singled past a diving Manny Machado at third, scoring Kinsler. That brought up Beltre, who had hit a solo homer to lead off the second.
On an 0-1 count, Beltre hit a 92-mph, waist-high fastball into the left-field stands to give the Rangers a 5-2 lead.
But the microcosm of the Orioles' recent struggles was their half of the fifth inning. After back-to-back fielding errors put runners at first and third with no outs against Texas starter Martin Perez (3-1), the Orioles were on the verge of a big inning with the heart of the order coming up.
Manny Machado popped up to second on the first pitch, then Jones struck out swinging in an at-bat that included two flailing hacks at pitches in the dirt.
"I see it just as everybody else sees it," Jones said. "I chased pitches that I shouldn't have. Pretty simple. There's no equation to figure that out. I chased it."
The Orioles were able to plate a pair of runs in the inning on J.J. Hardy's two-out, two-run single, but they knew they should have had more.

Here was an Eastern Shore gospel group (the Zionaires) posing for photos, in front of Formstone rowhouses, after a rousing show in Highlandtown. Hats off to the miracle workers at Maryland Traditions and the Creative Alliance for facilitating these sort of moments over the course of the entire, day-long festival. Actually, they do this sort of thing all year round. They should be sainted.

Jason, 10, was left with a brain injury after a bicycle accident. To improve some of his cognitive (thinking) skills, comprehension skills, and coordination, Jason's doctors recommended that he receive occupational therapy (OT).
At first, his parents were doubtful that OT could benefit their son and wondered if it was more appropriate for adults. But after watching the activities and seeing Jason's improvements, they felt hopeful that Jason was on the road to recovery.
Occupational therapy treatment focuses on helping people achieve independence in all areas of their lives. OT can help kids with various needs improve their cognitive, physical, and motor skills and enhance their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.
Some people may think that occupational therapy is only for adults; kids, after all, do not have occupations. But a child's main job is playing and learning, and occupational therapists can evaluate kids' skills for playing, school performance, and daily activities and compare them with what is developmentally appropriate for that age group.
According to the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), in addition to dealing with an someone's physical well-being, OT practitioners address psychological, social, and environmental factors that can affect functioning in different ways. This approach makes OT a vital part of health care for some kids.
According to the AOTA, kids with these medical problems might benefit from OT:
Occupational therapists might:
Although both physical and occupational therapy help improve kids' quality of life, there are differences. Physical therapy (PT) deals with pain, strength, joint range of motion, endurance, and gross motor functioning, whereas OT deals more with fine motor skills, visual-perceptual skills, cognitive skills, and sensory-processing deficits.
There are two professional levels of occupational practice — occupational therapist (OT) and occupational therapist assistant (OTA).
Since 2007, an OT must complete a master's degree program (previously, only a bachelor's degree was required). An OTA is only required to complete an associate's degree program and can carry out treatment plans developed by the occupational therapist but can't complete evaluations.
All occupational therapy practitioners must complete supervised fieldwork programs and pass a national certification examination. A license to practice is mandatory in most states, as are continuing education classes to maintain that licensure.
Occupational therapists work in a variety of settings, including:
If you think your child might benefit from occupational therapy, ask your doctor to refer you to a specialist. The school nurse or guidance counselor also might be able to recommend someone based on your child's academic or social performance.
You also can check your local yellow pages, search online, or contact your state's occupational therapy association or a nearby hospital or rehabilitation center for referrals.
However you find an occupational therapist for your child, make sure that your health insurance company covers the program you select.

I meant "Merchant of Venice" was anti-Puritan, not "Othello" (Jews standing for Puritans - both dour, fanatical, outsiders and money-lenders). I don't think Mr. S. was moneylender - just a common play thief. "King Lear" was more complicated but still a protest against the apocalyptical wave of the Puritans which was about to break, precipitating the 30 Years War in Europe (1618-1648) which killed 1/3 of the German population and completely backfired by converting western Europe into a secular (anti-extremist) society.
The reviewer trumpets how completely ignorant he is of this entirely legitimate controversy by his dripping contempt for the very idea.
Personally I don't believe the author was DeVere but I am sure it wasn't Shakespeare either - that's a no-brainer. Yes, kudos to the film for daring to stand up to the mythology and portraying the petty criminal Shakespeare more likely as he was (although I think he could write his name - even his illiterate daughter could write hers, although barely).
Um, maybe the Queen spared Southampton because he was her son and not because of any plays, which had been presented on an ongoing basis anyway? What was to stop him publishing them after her death? The plays were anti-Stuart? Not really. Othello and King Lear were (heavily veiled) anti-Puritan, more like, and James 1 was no Puritan supporter (compromising with them even less than Elisabeth despite their increased popularity).
Sadly, de Vere died in 1604 while King Lear was first presented in late 1608 and The Tempest (based upon a 1609 shipwreck on Bermuda) around 1611.

The Cleveland Clinic offers these suggestions:
- Always put your baby in a car seat any time you travel in the car. Make sure the seat is properly installed and used, according to its instruction manual.
- Before baby is born, make sure you know how to properly place, remove and use the seat.
- Place the seat in a rear-facing position in the middle back seat of the car. Make sure the fit is tight.
- Don't buy a used car seat, or use a seat beyond its expiration date.
- Never leave your baby in the car unattended.
- Contact a car seat inspector if you have any questions or concerns about proper installation.

Evidence-based treatment guidelines for sexually transmitted infections developed with and for female sex workers (PDF)
Behets,Frieda M.T.F.; Rasolofomana,Justin Ranjalahy; van Damme,Kathleen; Vaovola,Georgine; Andriamiadana,Jocelyne; Ranaivo,Adeline; McClamroch,Kristi; Dallabetta,Gina; van Dam,C.Johannes; Rasamilalao,Desire; Rasamindra,Andry; Mad-STI Working Group
Tropical Medicine and International Health 8(3): 251-258
Publication date: 2003
Sex work is frequently one of the few options women in low-income countries have to generate income for themselves and their families. Treating and preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among sex workers (SWs) is critical to protect the health of the women and their communities; it is also a cost-effective way to slow the spread of HIV. Outside occasional research settings however, SWs in low-income countries rarely have access to effective STI diagnosis.
To develop adequate, affordable, and acceptable STI control strategies for SWs.
In collaboration with SWs we evaluated STIs and associated demographic, behavioural, and clinical characteristics in SWs living in two cities in Madagascar. Two months post-treatment and counselling, incident STIs and associated factors were determined. Evidence-based STI management guidelines were developed with SW representatives.
At baseline, two of 986 SWs were HIV(+); 77.5% of the SWs in Antananarivo and 73.5% in Tamatave had at least one curable STI. Two months post-treatment, 64.9% of 458 SWs in Antananarivo and 57.4% of 481 women in Tamatave had at least one STI. The selected guidelines include speculum exams; syphilis treatment based on serologic screening; presumptive treatment for gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis during initial visits, and individual risk-based treatment during 3-monthly follow-up visits. SWs were enthusiastic, productive partners.
A major HIV epidemic can still be averted in Madagascar but effective STI control is needed nationwide. SWs and health professionals valued the participatory research and decision-making process. Similar approaches should be pursued in other resource-poor settings where sex work and STIs are common and appropriate STI diagnostics lacking.

Published: Mar. 8, 2006
Updated: Apr. 9, 2010
When Eric Nguyen was a toddler, just one bite of a piece of chocolate with nuts triggered a medical emergency.
His mother, Theresa, recalls, "Within maybe 15 minutes, he was itching like crazy, with hives from top to bottom." Gasping for breath, Eric was rushed to the emergency room for a lifesaving shot of epinephrine.
For Eric's little brother, mere cooking vapors did it.
"My husband was cooking shrimp, and I was folding the laundry, and Conrad was just running around, laughing and giggling, and I said to my husband, 'His voice is getting higher pitched,'" says Theresa. "The next thing I knew he was flat on the floor, passed out."
As it turned out, all three of Theresa Nguyen's children -- Eric, now 17, Tessa, 15, and Conrad, 13 -- have allergies to such foods as peanuts, eggs, milk, and shellfish.
Recognizing that those allergies can be life-threatening has motivated Nguyen to work closely with allergists, research causes and treatments for food allergies, learn to cook allergen-free foods, join support groups, and educate teachers and nurses in her children's schools about adjusting to children with such allergies.
A growing number of families are making these adjustments. Studies show that eleven million Americans have food allergies and one-and-a-half million have a peanut allergy. According to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN), from 1997 to 2002 the incidence of peanut allergy in children had doubled.
Duke's Wesley Burks, MD, chief of pediatric allergy and immunology, says that food allergies typically appear between six and 18 months of age, since that is when many youngsters first sample foods such as peanut butter.
While children often outgrow certain food allergies, such as to eggs and milk, peanut allergies are usually for life.
Not every reaction to a food is an allergy. A detailed clinical history is needed to differentiate viral gastroenteritis or food poisoning from food allergies.
"You need to find out the timing of the ingestion and the clinical symptoms," Burks says. "Reactions to an allergen such as peanuts occur literally within minutes, not more than an hour or two, after ingestion. Food allergy symptoms are also isolated to the GI tract, the respiratory tract, and the skin."
These symptoms include abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, skin symptoms like hives or itchy rash, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the lips or the eyes.
Also, "Food-allergy symptoms are reproducible," Burks says. "Each time they have the food, they ought to have fairly similar symptoms."
Taking a good clinical history means tuning in to the patient. "The thing I like as a parent is that Dr. Burks will talk with the kids himself," Nguyen says. "I'm sitting there, but his conversation is with the kids, asking them for their contribution in terms of what's bothering them or what they want help with."
Diagnosis also depends on tests to measure the blood level of the immune protein IgE that triggers allergic reactions, and skin tests for sensitivity.
Nguyen's family focuses on lifestyle adjustments. Conrad cannot even be in the same room with peanuts, so he takes his school lunch outside with a friend. Eric always carries his medicine and his EpiPen. And they all look out for each other; Tessa, for example, is learning to cook treats that her brothers can eat.
Changing attitudes is also critical -- among physicians, school administrators, and managers of any public facilities, says Nguyen, who has dealt with a physician who, despite detailed medical records, dismissed the idea that Conrad had a severe peanut allergy.
"Food allergies are real, and people with them should be treated no differently than somebody with diabetes or heart disease," she says. "It's a medical condition that we deal with as part of our life."
While Nguyen fights false perceptions, Burks develops future treatments, including a vaccine.
After identifying the predominant allergy-triggering proteins in peanuts, Burks and collaborators are experimenting with altering the protein so that it will dampen the response of immune system cells, to avoid tripping the allergic alarm.
These experiments could lead to a vaccine in which the altered peanut protein could be given to allergy sufferers to desensitize them to peanuts.
More immediately, the researchers are clinically testing a therapy in which patients ingest tiny amounts of egg or peanut protein orally in an attempt to gradually desensitize their immune systems.
So far, patients have had minimal symptoms, Burks says. While initial protein doses are the equivalent of about a hundredth of a peanut, after three months, patients can consume an entire peanut each day as part of the treatment.
"We know we're changing their immune systems in some way over those three months," says Burks, "but only longer-term studies will tell us whether the tolerance is permanent."
Burks cautions that there will be no magic bullet against food allergies. Immunotherapies, drug therapies, vigilance against allergens, and preparation for allergic attacks will always be part of the arsenal.
Still, says Burks, "I think that in five years we'll have combinations of treatments that will prove effective."
Identify foods that hide allergens. Peanuts, for example, can be found in homemade chili, and some Asian foods may either contain peanuts or have been prepared in a wok that was used to cook peanuts.
Develop a plan for an unexpected reaction. For example, be prepared to give the person an antihistamine and epinephrine using an EpiPen and immediately take them to the nearest emergency room. Allergic reactions are unpredictable; the same amount of allergen that caused only mild symptoms in the past can abruptly trigger severe anaphylaxis.
Be extra vigilant with teens. Teens are at especially high risk of death, according to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN). "They're out with friends, they want to be like everybody else, they're not expecting to eat a food that will cause a reaction, and they're not carrying their epinephrine. And so one thing leads to the other," says Anne Munoz Furlong, director of FAAN.
Reach out. Support groups such as FAAN (www.foodallergy.org) offer teens and their families invaluable news and information as well as critical support.

Measuring 440, 000 square meters, Tiananmen Square is the largest open-air square in the world. It can hold about one million people for public celebration or gatherings. In the square tourists can climb the Tiananmen Rostrum, watch the daily national flag raising ceremony eary in the morning (the time varies subject to the sunrise), visit the National Museum of China, and go to the Mausoleum of Chairman Mao in which one will see the body of the great Chinese leader.
The Tiananmen Rostrum, standing to the north of the Tiananmen Square, precisely in the south – north central axis of Beijing, was the main gate to the Forbidden City-Palace museum for emperors of Ming and Qing dynasties. It was initially called Cheng Tian Men or the Gate of Carrying the Heaven, which means to shoulder the edict of the Heaven, and obtain the divine power form the Heaven. In the eighth year of emperor Shunzhi's administration, the gate was renovated and called Tiananmen. From then on nearly all the important imperial celebrations and events such as the enthronement of a new emperor, the wedding of the emperor, the rite of going to a battle by the emperor himself, the famous "Imperial Edict Issued by Golden Phoenix, worshipping the Heaven and the earth, and worshipping the five sorts of grains were held in this square.
Tiananmen Square in the 1950's
Tiananmen Square in the 1970's
Tiananmen Square in the 1990's
Tiananmen Square Now
The magnificent gate has five passages. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the passage in the middle leading to the Forbidden City was particularly reserved for the emperor himself. The emperor went through the central passage on the way to the altars for rituals and other religious activities, for instance. The high-ranking government officials and the empresses, concubines, princess and princesses could only enter the Forbidden City through the side passages, while the ordinary subjects were banned from entering the Forbidden City. That's why the palace complex is called" Forbidden City"..
The 34.7 meters high Tiananmen Rostrum, with glittering yellow glazed tile on the roof and red wall and pillars, is more magnificent in the sunshine. Before the Rostrum are the Golden Water Bridge, the white Huabiao (a pair of ornamental columns made of white marble sculptured with dragon designs. They are also called "slander pillar" for in the ancient time it carried the ordinary people's slanders and suggestions for the emperor) and a pair of big stone lions.

Neighborhoods: Redwood Shores
Dinner "by the water" in Redwood Shores – Mistral is one of our go-to places when we want to have a nice dinner out that is family friendly. Mistral is kind of fun because it's on one of the lagoons in Redwood Shores. They have a large patio area that is covered well populated with heat lamps. Great for the kids since they can be a bit more loud than inside. Much to our suprise the have a great deal for kids - really good chicken with fries that they bring out ASAP. Also do pasta for kids. For parents you can't go wrong with the skirt steak and they usually have a pretty solid risotto. Inside is very nice and not the best for kids. Sometimes service is a bit slow.
Diner at Mistral – We probably go to Mistral 2-3 times a years, to change, and we are never disappointed: the location is great, the service is very good, and the food is great. My wife only order their risotto.
The scenery and outdoor tables are great. They probably remodeled in 2004-5, and looks very nice.
So-so food, rather expensive – We went to Mistral last night for our first and likely only visit.
The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't memorable. The spring rolls were just OK, the soup was bland, and the salads were acceptable.
In addition, the service was spotty. My husband ordered the ahi tuna. The waiter brought out a huge steak knife saying "I know that you are going to be brought out the wrong order." All of us at the table looked at each other thinking, you are the waiter, you could probably fix that. Luckily, the correct order did appear.
But when we got the bill, we were overcharged for our bottle of wine (what should have been a $36 bottle was charged at $45).
Having said all that, the ambiance was nice. If you go to Mistral, I would recommend getting a seat in the porched off ourside next to the fireplace.
Food ok, but terrible service – I thought the place looked very cute, so I decided to go there for my 30th birthday. We reserved a private room, but when we got there - they couldn't seat us in it for 30 minutes. I don't recommend this place.
Great dinner, great drinks – My husband and I recently went to Mistral for the first time. The overstuffed chairs on the patio with fireplace looked inviting but we chose to eat indoors due to the rain. I had two wonderful Mojitos (great drink!). The warm bread with balsamic dipping sauce was excellent to much on before dinner. I had a warm spinach and mushroom salad that was great, followed by a butternut squash ravioli. I couldn't finish everything but they were both excellent. My husband had a seafood soup followed by a sesame crusted ahi tuna steak with wasabi mashed potatoes and long green beans. He loved it and wants to go back tomorrow. I would definitely recommend this place!
Swanky digs and an inventive menu attract an upscale clientele at this trendy South Bay eatery. – The Scene
It used to be Marine World. Now it's Oracle world. Either way, the gray, wooden strip mall in Redwood Shores makes an odd locale for fine dining. Although it's been open more than five years, Mistral still generates the excitement and buzz of a new hot spot. Inside, it's all cozy merriment. Its foyer's rich ochre hue is mirrored in hanging copper pots and lavish, autumnal arrangements. A smart bar area showcases sexy booze behind glass, and attractive patrons on stools. The main dining room is tricked out in business-like white napery and butcher paper, and a separate wine room is reserved for special events and more sedate dining.
The Food
The menu could be described as "millennial California": There's a little Asian influence, lots of pastas and risotti, wood-fired this-and-that and lots of seasonal produce. The autumn menu and specials feature a smorgasbord of leeks, toasted nuts and roasted veggies, but not always to best effect. Better to stick with the simple; try the teriyaki skirt steak (a perennial favorite), pizza margherita or mixed field-green salad. The same goes for dessert, if it includes the classic hot fudge sundae or pumpkin cheesecake. (December 2000)
