 opportunity to attend a playoff baseball game, consider snagging tickets for what’s sure to be a thrill-ride (https://www.mlb.com/indians). And even if you can’t make a game, head over to Hoopple’s Restaurant and Bar on Columbus Road – you’ll be close enough to hear the fireworks when the Tribe hits a homerun!
Although it’s been quite some time since all-time great Jim Brown led the 1964 Browns to the NFL Championship, this season Browns’ fans are once again hoping for a return of the “Kardiac Kids” and Tyrod Taylor is aiming to be the team leader Cleveland needs. Despite a relatively disappointing 2017 season, hope springs anew every year for Browns’ fans, and the new crop of talented players added to the roster this off-season has Cleveland fans ready to pack the stands for another season of cheering on their team (https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/). On the first Sunday of the Annual Conference, the division rival Baltimore Ravens come to town to take on the Browns for an early game. If this won’t work for you, think about staying on a few days to enjoy the city and grabbing tickets to the game the following Sunday, when the San Diego Chargers come to town. Either way, a visit to FirstEnergy Stadium is sure to not disappoint!
If baseball and football don’t float your boat, then you have one final option for professional sports during the Annual Conference. Although Cavaliers fans were disappointed when the “King” left for Los Angeles this summer, confidence remains that all-star Kevin Love can take the reins of the beloved Cavaliers and make a play-off push in the East. Although the NBA season won’t be in full-swing during early October, you can still catch a preseason game at the “Q” when the division rival Indiana Pacers come to town to take on the Cavs on Monday, October 8th. If you’ve never been to an NBA game before, a preseason game may be your best bet for a memorable basketball experience (https://www.nba.com/cavaliers/).
Finally, if attending a professional sporting event is a bit too much insanity to squeeze in during your time in Cleveland, consider a more relaxing but just as memorable trip to the Professional Football Hall of Fame, just down the road from Cleveland in Canton, Ohio (http://www.profootballhof.com/). The National Football League originated in Canton nearly 100 years ago, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame just completed a major renovation of the world-class facility which included a brand new playing field. With over 118,000 square feet of football history and memorabilia, and new additions to the Hall of Fame Village next door, a trip to Canton is a must for any true football fan. Whatever route you choose for a slice of the Cleveland sports scene this October, your experience is sure to be memorable!
In the mundane interaction with the barista at a coffee shop, or a life-altering moment like proposing to your future spouse, effective communication is essential. The quality of our relationships with friends, coworkers, employers, strangers and loved ones depends on how well we communicate with one another. Nowhere is communication more important than at the doctor’s office – increasingly, we’re learning that the quality of communication between providers and patients has a significant impact on health.
70 percent of the hospital’s overall score is composed of process measures, and 30 percent of the total score is composed of by patient satisfaction. In the first year of the program, hospital scores determined whether they would lose or gain up to one percent of their regular Medicare reimbursements. Over the next four years, the amount of money at stake will rise incrementally to two percent. Current data and hospital scores are available on the CMS “Hospital Compare” website.
In response to the new compensation rules, med schools, insurance providers and hospitals are providing communication training programs for students as well as seasoned practitioners. (Abraham Vergese, a Stanford medical doctor, creatively used Google Glass to provide students with a first-person demonstration on how to talk to patients.) The Wall Street Journal recently wrote about Marietta-based WellStar Health System’s approach to improving doctor’s communication. WellStar began using “service coaches”: professionals who work directly with doctors, training them to avoid using words or phrases that have a negative impact, to ask permission before entering a room, to introduce themselves and be clear about what they are doing and why. WellStar reported increased patient satisfaction since beginning the training (from 77.5 percent in November 2012 to 86.2 percent in January 2013).
CMS is such a massive provider that when it changes payment programs, health systems are forced to adapt whatever their objections may be. One to two percent of Medicare reimbursement has a huge impact on a hospital’s budget. Whether or not increased patient satisfaction will further the goal of lowering health care costs remains to be seen, but we do know that better doctor-patient communication improves outcomes for health. Do you feel your doctor is a good communicator, even when they’re dispensing bad news or tough love? Have you switched providers searching for someone who makes you feel at ease? Are you hopeful that the new guidelines will have a positive impact on the American health care system?

Yes. Mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks can all find their way into your home. Every house has areas of entry for these pests, which is why prevention is so important.

how it heats.
With so many heater styles, how do you choose? Consider things like length of heat time, steady versus moving, directional heat, indoor or outdoor, and go from there.

safe and warm.
Be warm, but most importantly, be safe. Features like auto-off, cool touch, tip-over protection and auto-shutoff timers are your peace-of-mind pals, but always turn your heater off before leaving.
