Dr. Moore manages a very caring and professional medical staff. My care, both in the hospital and my follow up visits, have been the best I have ever received. He is both informative, relaxed and takes ample time to explain my care and rehabilitation. I would like to qualify my judgment of Dr. Moore by adding that I played football in College and the Army and was an Airborne Ranger Infantry Officer. My injuries have been numerous and I have had many Doctor visits over the years. Simply put, Dr. Moore is the best.
I saw Dr. Moore for very severe pain in both of my hands. He did X-ray and told me he thought I had Arthritis. He did not spend much time explaining anything about my condition or trying to help in any way. Dr. Moore just told me to see his receptionist and set up a MRI and blood work. The receptionist told me I would hear from them in a few days once this was set up. It is now 4 months later and I have not heard one word from Dr. Moore or his office staff. I would give him a "0" for Spends Time with Me and Follows Up After Visit.
I would recommend his doctor to everyone I know. He truly cares about his patients.
My husband had a pretty serious fall that required hip replacement surgery. Dr. Moore was wonderful to my husband. My husbands surgery did not end until well into the night - Dr. Moore (exhausted) still spent time going through the extent of his injuries, the surgery and our go forward plan. Dr. Moore stopped by our room mulitple times a day and was accessible morning or night.
Dr. Moore did such a wonderful job with my son. My son broke both bones in his left wrist in a 45 degree angle. Dr. Moore showed the best mannerism, concern, and spent plenty of time answering our questions and addressing our concerns. This was the second time that my son did this and Dr. Moore was 100% better than the first physician we had with my son. I highly recommend him and will use him for all of our orthopaedic needs in the future!

Part topically humorous and part serious, this list breaks down five potential candidates for a veteran blowout this season. These players, All-Stars and future hall of famers were once considered among the best in their respective positions.
With the natural progression of age however, they have lost a step in the past couple of seasons. Some players, such as Mark Recchi of the Bruins, hang up their skates before posting a lackluster veteran season. Others, such as the five on this list, press their luck for one more season and another shot at Lord Stanley's Cup.
Keep in mind that I have no disrespect towards any of these players. I am merely suggesting that some of them have their best days behind them.

I have a R15-100 that just stopped working a couple weeks ago. It will not power up. The fan is still running and the red light inside the digital optical out is still on. Pressing the power button on the unit does nothing nor does it respond to the remote. Have pressed the red reset button with no result and unplugging/replugging does not do anything either. Called Directv and they have no answers.

Try leaving it unplugged for a few hours. Then power it up. If it still won't work, then it's dead. DirecTV should provide a replacement. They're typically free if you have their Equipment Protection Plan. Otherwise ~$20 for shipping or $50 for in-home installation.

Cute cookies come from a kit
Dyed eggs? Check.
Jelly beans? Check.
Chocolate bunny? Already eaten.
As you go through last-minute Easter prep, don't forget to add a sweet activity to the list.
Here's one: Decorate your own holiday cookies in short order by picking up a cookie-decorating kit at Giant Eagle bakeries. If the kits aren't already on display, just ask one of the bakery staffers.
Each kit ($7.99) includes two colors of frosting packed into separate, disposable pastry bags, two containers of sprinkles and 10 plain, cutout cookies in spring and Easter shapes.
Just snip the pastry bags' pointed tips and get busy decorating. The all-in-one kit makes decorating simple, fun for everyone and easy to clean up.
And don't worry about making a mistake. Flawed cookies will taste just as good as the perfectly decorated ones.

7:00 am Registration and Morning Coffee
8:00 Welcome & Chairperson's Opening Remarks
8:15 What Do We Know? A Review of Publically-Available Information and Resources to Develop FDA Inspection Readiness
Barbara van der Schalie, Clinical Training Manager, Clinical Monitoring Research Program, SAIC-Frederick
Although the CFRs that guide clinical research are rather vague, the FDA provides documents that are publicly available that indicate their focus in compliance inspections. In this presentation we will first review the recent FDA Warning Letters, both titled and untitled, that provide a good indication of the areas of greatest scrutiny and non-compliance. Then, we will discuss the FDA Inspector Compliance Manuals, which provide a blueprint for FDA inspection readiness as they specifically enumerate what should be reviewed during an inspection. The FDA Inspection Compliance Manuals are essential to developing an integrated view of the FDA's focus in compliance inspections. In order to establish or maintain a state of FDA Inspection Readiness, a robust, dynamic plan is essential. This presentation will provide:
9:00 Strategies for Developing a Comprehensive and Compliance-Focused Auditing Program
William H. Kitchens, Partner and Chairman of the Healthcare and Life Sciences Practice Group, Arnall Golden Gregory LLP, and Adjunct Professor, Emory University School of Law
This presentation provides an overview of how to build a culture of compliance surrounding the conduct of clinical trials. While no compliance program can ever prevent all regulatory infractions, there are certain critical factors that should be considered in the design and implementation of an effective compliance program. In this session, we will examine basic compliance principles and the due diligence steps a clinical trial site should take to prevent and detect problems that could trigger FDA enforcement actions. Participants will gain knowledge about the following:
9:45 Networking Coffee Break and Exhibit Viewing
10:15 CRA Compliance Committee: One Sponsor's Approach to Ensuring Compliance
Janice Boyd, Principal CRA, Clinical Study Operations, Abbott Vascular
The Abbott Vascular Field-CRA Group has initiated a CRA Compliance Committee to assist in ensuring that consistent practices among Field CRA staff are implemented during the conduct of clinical trials. Specifically, we will review compliance to departmental operating procedures and standards. In addition, potential training needs for both clinical site personnel and FCRA staff will be suggested to help improve the overall quality of work. This initiative is an innovative, proactive approach to compliance that few companies have in place. The audience will be introduced to a proactive approach to compliance that is a positive experience among peers that helps to ensure compliance at our sites, promote consistency in our processes, and identify training opportunities for CRAs and sites.
11:00 Suspected Clinical Non-Compliance: Trials and Tribulations
James Tripp, Associate Director, Compliance & Training, Regeneron
With a significantly increased number of Regulatory Agency Inspections, it is even more critical to ensure that processes exist which allow for escalation and immediate remediation. One area of interest across the industry is how to increase awareness and communication, and to ultimately decrease the incidence of clinical noncompliance. That being said, clinical noncompliance is a serious matter and should be dealt with urgently, with good documentation of any corrective and preventive actions. This presentation will focus on the general awareness (initial and on-going training) of compliance/noncompliance, a proposed procedure for managing suspected clinical noncompliance, and illustrate how all relevant parties are informed via a "GCP Compliance Committee" chaired by the Head of Clinical Compliance and Training with senior management membership.
11:45 Sponsored Luncheon (Sponsorship Opportunity Available) or Lunch on Your Own
1:00 pm Investigator Meetings: Are They Really Listening?
Barbara Osinski, Manager QC GCP Compliance and Training, Clinical Development, Grunenthal USA, Inc.
Investigator Meetings are considered the first line of training for Principal Investigators when it comes to Good Clinical Practice and regulatory responsibilities. Standing in front of the audience quoting regulations is not the way to gain their attention and ensure training is successful. Investigator meetings are taught in a boiler plate way, most times with the principal investigators taking calls and checking emails. Signing an attendance sheet does not ensure compliance when the information delivered was not remembered. It's time for those charged with presenting this important information to do so in an effective and streamlined way that will ensure success in delivery. Interactive, study-specific, regulatory-based training will achieve the number one objective of understanding the regulations in the context of the study being conducted. In this session, we will explore an alternative way of conducting GCP training at investigator meetings that is interactive, thought-provoking, and even enjoyable!
1:45 Determining Root Cause and Developing Effective Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPA)
Nikki Christison, Director, Clinical Operations, Centerphase Solutions, Inc.
Every year hundreds of clinical trials are in a state of needing "rescue". By identifying the root cause of the study issues, a carefully developed plan can be implemented to systematically analyze and address each problem without incurring greater risk, loss of quality in data, or jeopardizing relationships with investigators, sites, and colleagues. In addition to addressing the immediate problem, an analysis of the cause of the issue(s) will allow better understanding and ensure development of systems, training, and documentation as a preventative action to improve processes in the future. The discussion of root cause and how to develop an effective corrective action plan will be presented around a sample study of a trial in jeopardy with an analysis of the "big picture" challenges, determination of the root cause, and hands-on development of an action plan with audience participation. We will discuss how to prevent problems from evolving with careful protocol design, feasibility analysis, selection and training of teams, and appropriate documentation.
2:30 Development and Implementation of GCP SOPs – Latest Trends
Marta I. Jimenez-Aquino, M.B.A., Process Expert, OEX Consulting, Inc.
"Innovation in process – how things get done in an enterprise – is as important as innovation in the products a company sells" – Louis V. Gerstner Jr., Chairman and CEO of IBM. Two decades ago, this key principle guided Mr. Gerstner during a period of great challenges at IBM and helped him create the vision that transformed the company into a successful enterprise. Today, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies face similar challenges. Quality, compliance, and innovation are not possible unless people are doing the right things right every time. This requires a system of standard operating procedures (SOPs) that are accurate, compliant with applicable regulatory requirements, and up-to-date. SOPs must be user-friendly, reflect cross-functional boundaries and interactions, and ensure consistency within and across related processes. From the initial assessment and gap analysis of a company's GCP SOP suite to the development and rollout of SOPs and SOP training, participants will learn about current industry standards, regulatory expectations, and latest trends and methodologies. They will benefit from the discussion of real world case studies that illustrate best practices, common pitfalls, and innovative approaches in GCP areas.
3:15 Networking Refreshment Break and Exhibit Viewing
3:35 Implementing a Quality Systems-Based Approach to GCP Compliance
Amnon Eylath, Director, Quality, ARIAD Pharmaceuticals
In order to design, implement, and maintain GCP compliance in an effective manner, a Quality Systems Approach should be adopted. In the GMP and GLP domains, this approach has led to more effective and efficient maintenance of compliance. Your speaker will describe the GMP Quality System, and how, in a similar manner, a GCP Quality System can be utilized by ensuring the proper establishment of investigator oversight and documentation; IRB oversight; sponsor monitoring; corrective and preventive action (CAPA) execution; IP controls; and Clinical Staff and lab qualification. Your speaker will present proposals for adopting this approach at clinical sites, as well as the role of the sponsor in establishing internal GCP quality systems, and ensuring compliance at the sites and CROs. The topic of auditing from a Quality Systems-Based Approach will also be discussed. Your speaker will also give real-life examples of failures to deploy and implement these systems properly based on recent warning letters from FDA.
4:20 Quality Risk Management: The Comprehensive Quality Management System
Kenneth D. Schiff, Proprietor/President, Quality Risk Management Associates, LLC
What was accepted some years ago by regulatory agencies – an auditing approach to GCP compliance – is no longer acceptable. Implementing a Quality Systems-Based Approach to GCP Compliance is the answer to regulators' new expectations. The wealth of information from the centers to the sponsors' databases, facilitated by EDC, can be overwhelming. Quality Risk Management (QRM) provides study managers with a prioritization of sites with a risk ranking, identifies the weaknesses in the processes at the sites, and ensures clinical QA comprehensive oversight over all the studies. A recent CTTI (Clinical Trial Transformation Initiative) meeting facilitated by Duke University with representatives from regulators, industry, and sites focused exactly on this topic. Janet Woodcock, former FDA commissioner, clearly demanded a QRM based approach to GCP compliance and management. Your speaker will discuss the F. Hoffman-La Roche QRM approach to QRM, and how this paradigm change can be made a reality.
5:05 Pharmacovigilance Audits from a Sponsor's Perspective
Michael G. Duncan, Senior Specialist, Global System Quality Assurance, Johnson & Johnson
This session will provide an overview and discussion of the process of performing a Pharmacovigilance audit. The entire process, beginning with selecting systems or departments on a risk-based approach within an organization for auditing, will be reviewed. Audit preparation, conduct including sampling, and evaluating compliance to regulations will be discussed. Specific topics to be covered include: Individual Case Safety Reports, special circumstances (pregnancy, overdose, misuse/abuse, lack of effect), aggregate reports, and the role of the QPPV. In addition, inspection readiness will be discussed, including examples of Pv functions commonly cited by regulatory health authorities. This session will also provide opportunity to ask questions concerning specific requirements for the collection evaluation and reporting of safety information.

RE: Lemuel Norvell
John: Wow I just posted his page yesterday!
Thanks for the information I have posted it to his page.
I am not related to Lemuel Norvell, I am a Find-A-Grave volunteer and do work at Fairmount Cemetery. I was asked if I would list pages for unclaimed ashes that are in storage at Fairmount, 824 of them. They were hoping maybe someone would find relatives missing ashes and claim them.
Some of the unclaimed ashes were delivered by Funeral Homes and never claimed, others had contracts and the contracts were never paid for.
At any rate his ashes are un-buried and in storage at Fairmount.
I also checked the Fairmount records for Helen Zook Norvell, she is not listed at Fairmount.
I also checked the Washington State records for a death or marriage record for her (just in case she remarried). Their are no death or marriage records for her.
I did find a California death record for Lemuel Norvell and posted it to his memorial page.
If I can help you with something else let me know...

I haven't been able to find an exact burial location for her. Her obituaries only indicate memorial services so possible that her remains may be with family. She died in Yakima, Washington in 2006. Her husband Jesse R Norvell is buried in the Terrace Heights Memorial Park at Yakima, Yakima County, Washington and is Find A Grave Memorial# 25680656, so maybe she is buried in that cemetery.

A Community of Exceptional Nurses
Back to AACN News Home
Public Policy Update
Bill Would Provide Grants for Associate
Degree Programs
Recently introduced legislation would
establish a grant program for associate degree nursing programs to recruit
students, provide scholarships and hire faculty. Introduced by Rep. Michael
Capuano (D-Mass.), the Nurse Education Promotion Act (HR 2053) would also create
a competitive grant program for professional nurses' associations to conduct
continuing education programs in cooperation with hospitals and institutions of
higher education, which would enable associate degree nurses to take college
credit courses toward a bachelor of science degree in nursing. The intent would
be to make it possible for students to receive affordable nursing education
through the community college system. The bill was referred to the House Energy
and Commerce and the Subcommittee on Health.
AACN has endorsed this bill and encourages
members to contact their legislators to ask them to sign on as co-sponsors.
California Releases Final Staffing
The California Department of Health
Services has released the final regulations to establish new minimum RN staffing
ratios that all California hospitals must meet by Jan. 1, 2004. In the package
approved by Gov. Gray Davis and the Department of Health Services, state
officials made critical decisions on some hotly contested issues regarding
implementation of the California Nurse Association-sponsored law. The law, the
first of its kind in the nation, has been a model for RNs and legislators in
other states. Following are some of the key decisions in the plan:
� Proposals by the hospital industry to
erode the ratios in emergency departments and postsurgical recovery units and
for evening, night and weekend shifts were rejected. State officials also
rebuffed hospital efforts to further delay implementation.
� Improved nurse-to-patient ratios will be
phased into three hospital areas. As of 2008, ratios will be lowered in
step-down units, which typically house patients transferred from critical or
intensive care units; telemetry units, where patients are connected to monitors;
and other specialty care units, such as oncology and rehabilitation.
� Hospital adherence to scope of practice
laws that protect patient safety will be ensured. No RN may be assigned or be
responsible for more patients than the specified ratios. In addition to
clarifying the respective roles of RNs and licensed vocational nurses and the
fact that the two are not interchangeable, the regulations require that
additional nurses be assigned as needed, according to the severity of patient
� Hospitals are required to document
staffing assignments, including the licensure of the direct caregiver for every
patient in every unit on every shift, and to keep the records for one year,
which will help the state monitor and ensure compliance with the law.
In addition, another bill to help ensure
compliance has been introduced. AB 253 authorizes state health officials to
conduct unannounced inspections and provides for fines of up to $5,000 a day for
hospitals that continue to maintain unsafe RN staffing after final
implementation of the ratio law.
AACN addresses its position on staffing in
a statement titled "Maintaining Patient-Focused Care in an Environment of
Nursing Staff Shortages and Financial Constraints." This statement can be found
Massachusetts Considers Minimum Staffing
Massachusetts would join California in
establishing a minimum nurse-to-patient ratio under a bill introduced in that
state's legislature. Backed by the Massachusetts Nurses Association, the bill
seeks a ratio of one nurse for every four patients in medical-surgical units and
a ratio ranging from between 1 to 1 and 1 to 3 in emergency departments,
depending on the severity of patients' conditions. In addition, the measure
would require the state health department to create a patient classification
system based on acuity to allow staffing flexibility yet account for patients
who require more care. The bill was introduced by state Rep. Christine Canavan
Congressional Panels OK Funding Bills
U.S. House of Representatives and Senate
panels recently cleared two huge bills funding labor, health and education
programs next year, despite reservations by both Republicans and Democrats about
the tight budgets they had to work with. The labor, health and education bill is
the largest of the 13 spending measures Congress must pass each year to fund the
The House Appropriations Committee, which
oversees federal spending, voted 33-23 along party lines to approve the $138
billion measure, an increase of about 3%. The measure now moves on to the full
House. Earlier, a Senate Appropriations subcommittee voted 11-3 to send its
smaller, $137.6 billion companion bill to the full committee for consideration.
In other action, the House and Senate each
passed the most sweeping Medicare reform legislation since the program's
enactment. The House voted 216-215 for a 10-year, $400 billion prescription drug
and Medicare modernization bill. The margin in the Senate was wider, with 76
senators voting in favor and 21 voting against.
The bills now head to a House-Senate
conference committee to resolve differences. Both bills would provide billions
of dollars in payment assistance to rural providers but differ in their
treatment of hospitals and physicians. Under the House bill, hospitals would
receive a payment update below inflation through 2006; physicians would be
spared a rate cut scheduled for next year and see rates rise 1.5% in 2004 and
2005. Neither provision is in the Senate bill, but lobbyists expect the
conference committee to retain them in some form. House Speaker Dennis Hastert
(R-Ill.) said the House bill would reduce seniors' average individual drug costs
by 37%.
Bill Would Expand Access to Nurse
U.S. Rep. John W. Olver (D-Mass.) recently
introduced the Medicaid Nursing Incentive Act of 2003 (HR 2295) to restore a
previous federal mandate to cover the primary care services of pediatric nurse
practitioners, family nurse practitioners and certified nurse midwives. The
mandate was eliminated by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which encouraged
states to move Medicaid recipients into managed care but excluded advanced
practice RNs as participants. The legislation would expand patient access to
quality healthcare by requiring states to offer Medicaid coverage of primary
healthcare services provided by APRNs and would eliminate the current option
that state Medicaid plans have to deny APRNs as primary care case managers.
Medicaid plans in many states currently
recognize only physicians for coverage. The proposed measure would help to
control Medicaid spending by offering Medicaid beneficiaries more and often less
expensive primary-care provider options. In introducing the legislation, Olver
noted that it would particularly benefit rural and other medically underserved
areas where nurse practitioners are often more accessible than physicians. The
bill also proposes to expand Medicaid fee-for-service coverage to include direct
reimbursement for all nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists,
instead of only the family practitioners, pediatric practitioners and midwives
currently covered. In addition, Medicaid-managed care panels would be required
to recognize the specialized services of select APRNs, such as the pain
management services provided by nurse anesthetists and mental health services
provided by clinical nurse specialists-thus clarifying the scope of providers
required by managed care plans to specifically include APRNs.
AACN has endorsed this legislation and
applauds Olver for introducing this bill supporting the practice of APRNs and
helping to ensure that Medicaid patients receive quality care in a timely,
cost-efficient manner.
Healthcare Leaders Set Course for
Environmental Health Outreach
More than 100 leaders in medicine, nursing
and environmental health have set a course for action to achieve a national,
interdisciplinary vision for environmental health outreach to healthcare
providers. The plan is part of the National Environmental Education & Training
Foundation's 10-year National Strategies for Health Care Providers: Pesticides
At a recent national forum in Washington,
D.C,. participants identified strategies and specific action items to expand the
emerging nationwide network of healthcare providers committed to incorporating
environmental health into primary care education and practice.
In addition, participants identified
opportunities to expand existing provider resources on the topic. In particular,
commitments were obtained from several individuals to seek endorsements by
national professional associations of the initiative's companion documents
"National Pesticide Competency Guidelines for Medical & Nursing Education" and
"National Pesticide Practice Skills Guidelines for Medical & Nursing Practice."
Additional action items included pursuing consumer-based promotion of
environmental health and pesticides messaging in tandem with primary healthcare
provider continuing education; initiating discussion and coverage of the issue
with leading physician and nursing societies; and creating educational
opportunities through credentialing bodies and professional societies that
influence providers' continuing education. A conference report is scheduled to
be available in fall 2003.
AACN has endorsed the National Strategies
for Health Care Providers: Pesticides Initiative implementation plan and
supports the call for primary healthcare providers to acquire basic knowledge of
the health effects of pesticides and the treatments and preventive public health
strategies to address them.
Study Finds Positive Results of
Emergency Defibrillation
The immediate use of defibrillators to
treat people in a heart crisis does more than save lives, according to a study
published in the June 26, 2003, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The findings demonstrate that early, effective response to sudden cardiac arrest
by defibrillation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation results in an excellent
long-term outcome, including normal function and return to work.
Researchers tracked 200 people who had
received emergency defibrillation. Of those, 142 survived long enough to be
admitted to the emergency department, and 79 were eventually discharged from the
hospital. The five-year survival rate for those 79 people was identical to that
of the general population. A quality-of-life questionnaire given to 50 of them
produced answers typical of healthy people their age, the study said. Some
complained of persistent feelings of weariness, but most were back at work. In
fact, 65% of the survivors younger than 65 were working, the study found.
Roger D. White, MD, professor of
anesthesiology at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., was the report's lead
In a related finding, a new poll found that
only 6% of U.S. workplaces surveyed were equipped with portable defibrillators.
Conducted by RoperASW and Philips, the poll also found that 53% of workplaces
that currently have portable defibrillators said they'd recommend that other
companies have portable defibrillators on site.
AACN supports the recommendations of the
American Heart Association on early defibrillation and public access.
Public Policy Snapshot
AACN Advocacy Efforts
AACN has recently submitted comments to
federal agencies on several important issues:
Department of Labor
AACN joined other specialty nursing
organizations in delivering comments to the Department of Labor on proposed
changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act regarding the regulations that determine
overtime pay exemptions. AACN is concerned that the proposed changes will
eliminate the right to overtime pay for many nurses and has asked for an
extension on the deadline for filing comments on the proposals so that the
changes can be more thoroughly analyzed by the nursing community.
Department of Health and Human Services
As 2002-03 AACN president, Connie Barden,
RN, MSN, CCNS, CCRN, was contacted by Howard Zucker, deputy assistant secretary
for health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and asked to comment
on the issues surrounding an unexpected sudden increased demand in the need for
critical care services across the nation.
Food and Drug Administration
Rebecca Long, RN, MS, CCRN, CNS, a past
member of the AACN Board of Directors, prepared comments on behalf of AACN for
the FDA regarding the proposed Bar Code Label Rules.

Workplace Violence Focus of
Stakeholders Meeting
AACN President-elect Kathleen McCauley, RN,
PhD, CS, FAAN, recently represented AACN at a healthcare stakeholders meeting on
the Workplace Violence Research and Prevention Initiative of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention-National Institute for Occupational Safety and
The meeting provided stakeholders the
opportunity to share information about their organization, identify research
gaps and suggest potential collaborative efforts. Other participants represented
federal government agencies, academic centers, organized labor, professional
associations, industry associations, security personnel, and training and
education groups.
Discussion topics included the impact
workplace violence has on the nursing shortage and staffing, underreporting of
workplace violence, research on intervention strategies, cost-effectiveness of
prevention, and linking violence prevention to accreditation by the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Of particular
importance was interest by the National Institute for Occupational and Safety
and Health in accessing and partnering with healthcare facilities and services
to collect data.

frequency standard regarding patient assessment and reassessment, including
vital signs?
AACN does not have a standard for frequency of patient assessment. According to
the Standards for Acute and Critical Care Nursing Practice, the priority of data
collection is driven by the patient's immediate condition and anticipated
needs.1 The 2003 standards of the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations state that patient assessment should be completed
within 24 hours of admission, and reassessment should be carried out at regular
intervals thereafter.2 The reassessment intervals should be determined by the
patient's condition and hospital policy.2 There is no research to definitively
state what the minimum frequency interval should be.
When determining the hospital standard
regarding patient reassessment, acuity should be the major consideration. You
can also survey similar hospitals in your area to determine the community
standard. Acuity of patients may vary from unit to unit or even within the same
unit. Several different methods of developing hospital patient care standards
for critical care and progressive care units can be used to address the
differences in acuity. Minimum frequency regarding patient reassessment can be
addressed in specific unit-based standards, preprinted physician orders for
specific patient populations, disease-based protocols or clinical care pathways.
Remember that the standard you develop
represents the minimum level of care that should be delivered. Critical care and
progressive care nurses should always increase the level of monitoring based on
a change in the patient's condition or in specific treatment interventions that
may precipitate a change in condition. However, the level of monitoring should
never be less than what has been established as hospital policy. It is the
established minimum level to which nurses and the hospital will be held by
regulatory agencies and courts of law.

AACN, ENA Cosponsored Study Finds
Hospitals Still Limit Family Access to Patients During Emergency Procedures
Despite growing support for allowing family
members to be present during emergency medical procedures, only 5% of U.S.
hospitals have written policies permitting such access during CPR or invasive
procedures, according to a new survey of nurses cosponsored by AACN and the
Emergency Nurses Association.
In addition, despite guidelines to the
contrary, approximately one-fourth of responding nurses say family presence
continues to be prohibited during both resuscitation and invasive procedures.
The survey findings were reported in the
May 2003 issue of the American Journal of Critical Care and in the June 2003
issue of the Journal of Emergency Nursing.
"When patients are in literally a
life-or-death situation, their loved ones should be with them whenever
possible," said AACN President Dorrie Fontaine, RN, DNSc, FAAN, one of the
study's coauthors and associate dean for academic programs at the University of
California at San Francisco School of Nursing. "Having family present during
emergency procedures can be a great source of comfort and support for patients."
"A decade of research shows that the
presence of family members during invasive emergency procedures can be helpful
to families, healthcare providers and the patients themselves," added Kathy
Robinson, RN, ENA president and manager of the EMS Program for the Pennsylvania
Department of Health. "Yet, despite growing support for family presence during
emergency procedures, too many physicians and other healthcare practitioners
resist adopting this practice."
Among the findings of the survey, which was
sent to members of both AACN and ENA, are:
� Approximately one-fourth of nurses
reported that family presence was prohibited during CPR (29%) and invasive
procedures (25%), even though their units had no written policies prohibiting
such access.
� 5% of the respondents worked in units
that had written policies allowing such access.
� Family members ask to be present for such
procedures approximately one-third to two-thirds of the time (31% during
resuscitation, 61% during invasive procedures).
� Approximately half of the units covered
by the survey allow family presence without a written policy (45% during
resuscitation and 51% during invasive procedures).
"The option should exist in all hospitals
backed up by a written policy," Fontaine said. "There also should be education
so staff members can effectively support families in deciding whether to be
present during emergency procedures or resuscitation. An ongoing follow-up
mechanism should evaluate the effectiveness of the policy and ensure that the
rights of patients and their families are always respected."
Robinson agreed, saying, "Many ED managers
and hospital administrators may not be aware of the research that has been done
on family presence. Also, many may not know how to use the findings to develop
guidelines and policies, customize a staff education program, or how to
successfully facilitate family presence practices. Families are much more
resilient under these circumstances than many healthcare providers think.
Anticipated problems during resuscitation in hospitals that adopt this practice
have not materialized and, in fact, most times it helps families realize that
�everything possible was done' to save their loved ones."
Among the benefits the previous studies
have found for allowing families to be present during medical emergencies are:
� Removing doubts about what is happening
to the patient
� Reducing anxiety and fear
� Providing feelings of support and help to
the patient
� Sustaining patient-family connectedness
� Providing a sense of closure on a life
shared together
� Facilitating the grief process
� Engendering feelings of being helpful to
the healthcare staff
Fontaine said the nation's critical care
nurses, who are the most continually and intimately involved with seriously ill
patients and their families, should work closely with physicians and healthcare
administrators to adopt more widespread policies supporting family access during
emergency procedures.
"It is the responsibility, if not duty, of
every hospital to make the option of family presence available to those who will
find benefit from the practice," Fontaine said.

North Charleston police have charged a man with unlawful carrying of a firearm after finding him with a gunshot wound in his foot Monday night.
Shortly before 7 p.m., officers responded to the area of Comstock Avenue and Davis Street to investigate reports of a man being shot. They found the man had been shot between his toes, police spokesman Spencer Pryor said.
The man told police he was shot by an unknown gunman, Pryor said. Investigators, however, were told by several people that the man was seen playing with a gun and that it went off, he said.
The man, who was not identified, later admitted to police he accidentally shot himself, Pryor said. Police recovered the gun and the man is being charged with unlawful carrying of a firearm.
He was transported to a hospital, Pryor said.

Sat 7:03pm: OVI Task Force checkpoint set tonight
August 17, 2013
CANFIELD -- The Mahoning County OVI Task Force and the Ohio State Highway Patrol will be conducting a drunken driving checkpoint from 10:30 tonight until 2:30 a.m....
It has been shown that having the same amount of officers in patrol cars as opposed to standing at one location, roaming different streets have a much higher degree of removing impaired drivers.
Look at it this way, I will catch more fish on Lake Erie by trolling than I would just waiting in one spot for a fish to happen by.

Afret if everyone had the common sense not to do things they shouldn't do then there would be no need to have any of these things you consider invasions. The problem is people got dumber with time and more lax in every aspect of life therefore, it is the responsibility of the people we put in charge to maintain order and keep us safe.

Cold, although I understand your concerns, which I agree with, I really fail to understand how this invasion of privacy has been granted by our courts. This s total BS! It's akin to what the NSA is capable of (and doing), along with all the other violations of our Constitution. Now, courts have said that drones flown by private citizens can fly, and even tke pictures, of ANYTHING as long a they adhere to a maximun flight level. Is this the America we grew up with? Or is this the progressive, intrusive governental tactics we have come to accept?

The recent article by Piazza et al1 on sexual transmission of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and efficacy of prophylaxis with intramuscular immune serum globulins (IGs) interested us greatly. The results obtained from this controlled trial showed that HCV can be sexually transmitted by chronically infected patients and provided strong evidence of a protective role of IG produced from unscreened plasma.
More information could be obtained by investigating the presence of HCV RNA by polymerase chain reaction in the IG lots used in this trial. In a recent study,2 we showed that 30 (45.5%) of 66 IG lots produced between 1990 and 1992 tested positive for HCV RNA, while 100% of the lots were strongly anti-HCV reactive by third-generation recombinant immunoblot assay. All 41 IG lots produced since 1993 from screened plasma tested negative for both HCV RNA and anti-HCV antibodies. Since IG produced from unscreened plasma was not subjected to any validated viral inactivation and/or removal step, the presence of viral RNA in such products could be a matter of concern. Nevertheless, IG has never been reported to be involved in transmission of HCV. This safety record is still unclear, and, under the present circumstances, debate is expected to continue because of the difficulty in monitoring IG recipients. One can postulate that the low dosage, the route of administration, and the occasional administration play a role in decreasing the risk of transmission of HCV by IG. Moreover, the presence of anti-HCV antibodies has been assumed to reduce the infectivity of the viral particles that may be present.3 Should any of the 4 lots used in the study by Piazza et al1 be found positive for HCV RNA, this would be the first direct evidence that IG positive for both HCV RNA and anti-HCV antibodies is not infectious.

Within a 30-hour period, when Wayne State coaches and players once felt dejection they now feel elation. The Warriors learned late Nov. 13 that they are heading to the playoffs for the first time in its 94-year history. News came one day after WSU lost its final game to the Findlay Oilers 43-42 in overtime.
Findlay opted to go for the 2-pt conversion in OT as quarterback Clay Belton completed a pass to tight end Jaryd Brown. The Oilers played spoilers.
But now that play is a bad memory for Wayne State, who earned a sixth seed in Super Region Three. WSU will play No. 3 seed St. Cloud State (9-2) in Minnesota Nov. 19 at noon central time.
Wayne State enters the post-season losing three of its last five games, including the heartbreaker to Findlay (6-5).
"We were outplayed," head coach Paul Winters said. "They came in with a great plan, great enthusiasm. They had nothing to lose, and played like it."
It was a back-and-forth game the whole way as no side took control at any point of the game. Junior Quarterback Mickey Mohner completed 17 of 22 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns and senior receiver Troy Burrell had 5 catches for 166 yards and two touchdowns.
"Ultimately, the difference in the game was the difference in focus," Winters added. "We focused on all that had been achieved, and what it meant to win this game. They just focused on winning the game and they did that."
On the last play in the first half, Mohner heaved a 49-yard touchdown pass to Burrell to give the Warriors a 21-14 halftime lead. Burrell was able to make an adjustment on the pass and hauled it in.
WSU's seniors could have played in their last game of their careers. They certainly played like it down the stretch of the game.
Down 35-28, with a little more than two minutes to go and their season on the line, Mohner dropped one step and flung a screen to Burrell. He blazed down for a 59-yard touchdown.
But Findlay marched back down the field and appeared to be close to or inside field goal range with 22 seconds remaining. Then senior star defensive back Jeremy Jones took the Oilers back out of field goal range. He sacked Belton for a 10-yard loss on second down, and hit Belton again on the ensuing play causing an incompletion as regulation ended.
In OT, senior running back Josh Renel ran for a touchdown as WSU drew first blood. But then the Oilers responded with a 1-yard touchdown run and then the 2-pt conversion to win the game.
"This program has meant so much to me the last four years," an emotional Renel, who had 57 yards and one touchdown, said after the game. "If that was my last game, then I can honestly say this program is in a better place than when I first got here. We're a family over here – everyone always says that, but we really are."
Winters said: "It's the greatest class in history, in terms of winning (31-13). I just told them how proud I was of them and how hard they fought. I could go on and on about how great they were. We were blessed to have a senior class like that."
Findlay outgained the Warriors on offense with 490 yards compared to WSU's 387 yards. As a result, they had 12 more first downs than Wayne State (29-17). The Oilers also dominated the time of possession in the pivotal fourth quarter, owning the football for nearly 12 minutes (out of 15 minutes).
The Warriors three losses this year have been by a combined 12 points.
Winters tried to keep things in perspective.
"When you lose a football game, you have a tendency to think the world is coming to an end," he said. "It's not. The program isn't coming to an end and the world isn't coming to an end. We will overcome this, we'll learn from it – it will make us stronger and we will be a championship football team."
The season isn't over, yet, and the Warriors just may prove to be a championship team after all.

That led to waste that wasn't sustainable. Twiddy works with 1,100 different vendors for a variety of service needs, for example. Implementing BI has allowed the company to achieve pricing efficiencies that save Twiddy and its homeowners money. It has also seen time and resource management improvements since deploying SAS. For example, it had a seasoned 15-year employee devoted full-time to managing the company's 100 or so pool and spa vendors. "With SAS, we're able to automate that," Clark Twiddy said. "We're able to pull her off that manual job assignment and she's able to use her experience and work on more complex problems."
Like cost, IT resources--or lack thereof--tend to be a BI inhibitor for SMBs. That was true for Twiddy, too, so it used Pinnacle, a SAS-endorsed reseller, to assist with implementation, which included hooking up three different data sources. Carver, the CTO, said that outsourcing the deployment shrunk the timeline down to a matter of days. Twiddy sent eight employees to train on-site for two weeks at SAS headquarters, just several hours drive down I-40 in Cary, NC--the in-state connection certainly didn't hurt the vendor's appeal.
There were some early hiccups--Carver said the company discovered it wasn't properly backing up its information post-launch, which resulted in some lost data early on. "In the process, we've learned a little bit more about, of course, how to back up the data correctly, but [also to] work a little smarter and streamline what we originally did three months ago," Carver said.
Providing the early days of its experience with SAS are an indicator of things to come, Twiddy executives said they'd consider expanding their use of the vendor's applications and services for things like web analytics or even its reservations software system. Regardless, taking the long view--which Clark Twiddy said made the price tag easier to digest--remains a key decision driver for the company.
"What gives us a long-term competitive advantage?" Clark Twiddy said. "I don't believe it's a pickup truck, although that's critical to what we do. I don't believe it's a new server, although that's critical to what we do. I think the tools, knowledge, and discipline that come from [making] data-based decisions over a long term is how we'll continue to remain a market leader."

Much thoughtful (and some not so thoughtful) commentary has been expended on L'affaire David Shuster.
I guess I want to revisit some of it, having digested an indecent amount of verbiage on this topic. The links herein are to some of the more telling pieces.
1. Is MSNBC a boys' club? I don't know. I'm just a viewer. I will say that Chris Matthews and the recently departed Don Imus, for all their strengths, set a creepy tone long before Imus took his bus over the cliff. So, for that matter, does my fake crush Keith Olbermann. I'm not sure I'd want to have any one of them in charge of my career.
2. That having been said, journalism is always a boys' club: hierarchical, macho, competitive — and that's the nice part. Much has changed since, in my first newsroom, the men held up "ratings" for visiting women climbing the stairs, as if they were figure-skating judges. But not very much. I am somewhat inured to all but the worst of it, because that's the pond I've swum in.
3. Are the Clintons treated fairly by the media? Again, I don't know. They have such a complicated history that one can never be certain when they're being sincere and when they're being, well, Clintonish. I thought Sen. Clinton's New Hampshire tears were real, and maybe her ire in the Shuster case is, too. But they're undeniably manipulative at times. I just don't know which times.
4. I wish Chelsea Clinton herself had complained. She's too old to have Mommy make the call for her.
5. Some people have made the point that I'd be more irritated if any other family figure had had the phrase used against him or her. Really? The irrepressible Romney boys? Some words, used against some people, are either more or less damaging, depending on who the person is. We all know that. So?
6. All that having been said, I like discourse. I like ideas exchanged, intemperate things said, people pushing the edge. That's when you learn things and decide what you yourself think. That's why I sometimes watch even the loathsome Tucker Carlson, to whom even I want to give a wedgie. It's interesting. They could sure as hell use a couple more women in that boys' club, but I'll still peek in the window.

WASHINGTON: The Islamic State (IS) released a video purporting to show the beheading of a second American hostage Steven Sotloff, a monitoring service said yesterday, as the militant group raised the stakes in its confrontation with Washington over US air strikes on its fighters in Iraq.
A masked figure in the video also issued a threat against a British hostage, a man the group named as David Haines, and warned governments to back off "this evil alliance of America against the Islamic State", the SITE monitoring service said.
The purported executioner appeared to be the same British-accented man who appeared in an August 19 video showing the killing of American journalist James Foley, and it showed a similar desert setting. In both videos, the captives wore orange jumpsuits.
"I'm back, Obama, and I'm back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic State, because of your insistence on continuing your bombings and ... on Mosul Dam, despite our serious warnings," the man said. "So just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people."
In the video, Sotloff describes himself a "paying the price" for the US intervention in Iraq with his life. Sotloff, a freelance journalist, was kidnapped in Syria in August 2013. Sotloff's mother Shirley appealed on August 27 in a videotaped message to IS's self-proclaimed caliph, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, for her son's release.
In the video it released last month, IS said Foley's death was in retaliation for US air strikes on its fighters in Iraq.
The United States resumed air strikes in Iraq in August for the first time since the end of the US occupation in 2011.
The raids followed major gains by IS, which has declared an Islamic Caliphate in areas it controls in Syria and Iraq.
In Washington, the White House said it could not immediately confirm that IS had released a video of Sotloff's beheading. State Dept spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the US intelligence services would "work as quickly as possible to determine its authenticity."
"If the video is genuine we are sickened by this brutal act taking the life of another innocent American citizen. Our hearts go out to the Sotloff family."
A source familiar with the matter said that while US officials have yet to formally confirm the validity of the video, it appeared to authentic.
The United States is taking the Islamic State militants far more seriously now than it did six months ago, when Obama told the New Yorker magazine that they were the "JV team," which is short for "junior varsity" and means they are not the best players on the field.
