Implementing and Evaluating the Hospital Guide to Reducing Medicaid ReadmissionsJSI
Reducing readmissions is a growing priority in the pursuit of the Triple Aim. While much attention has been paid to Medicare readmissions, evidence demonstrates that Medicaid agencies are increasingly implementing payment penalties for readmissions, and the recent expansion of Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has provided millions of adults with new health coverage. Hospitals serving large numbers of Medical patients have a mounting interest in adopting strategies to reduce readmissions that address the distinct needs of this population.
Patient engagement isn’t just a buzz word, it is becoming one of the key factors in independent practice success. It can help you recruit new patients, retain existing patients, and access increased reimbursement as the industry shifts to value-based payment programs.
Patient engagement and practice marketing expert John Kim and practicing physician Molly Maloof will show you how you can improve patient engagement in your practice and see a return on your investment.

Communicating Effectively During Transitions – Managing Turbulence and Dilemm...milfamln
This webinar explores some of the challenges military families may face as they undergo transitions (e.g., deployments, reunions, relocations). On the one hand, transitions can create a sense of turbulence where family members are uncertain about their relationships and have trouble coordinating their routines. On the other hand, transitions also can create dilemmas where family members are faced with competing goals. Communicating effectively during transitions involves recognizing that turbulence and dilemmas are natural and learning how to manage them. Rather than offering simple recipes (e.g., “just talk about it”), the webinar will explore why certain ways of communicating may be more or less effective during transitions. The webinar also will identify programs and resources that may be helpful to professionals who work with military families in transition.

Assessment 2
Quality Improvement Proposal
Overview:
Write a quality improvement proposal, 5–7 pages in length, that provides your recommendations for expanding a hospital's HIT to include quality metrics that will help the organization qualify as an accountable care organization.
Health care has undergone a transformation since the release of the Institute of Medicine's 2000 report
To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System.
The report highlighted medical errors as a contributing factor leading to poor patient outcomes. The Institute of Medicine challenged organizations to implement evidence-based performance improvement strategies in order to improve patient quality and safety. Multiple governmental and regulatory agencies, such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHRQ), vowed to strengthen and improve incentives for participation, safety, quality, and efficiency in accountable care organizations (ACOs).
Health information technology (HIT) performs an essential role in improving health outcomes of individuals, the community, and populations. Health organizations, consumer advocacy groups, and regulatory committees have made a commitment to explore current and future opportunities that HIT offers to continue momentum to meet the Institute of Medicine's goal of improving safety and quality.
Understanding HIT is important to improving individual, community, and population access to health care and health information. HIT enables quick and easy access to information for both patients and providers. Accessible information has been shown to improve the patient care experience and reduce redundancies, thereby reducing health care costs.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to make recommendations for expanding a hospital's HIT in ways that will help the hospital qualify as an ACO.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 2: Explain the relationship between care coordination and evidence-based data.
Recommend ways to expand an organization's HIT to include quality metrics.
Identify potential problems that can arise with data gathering systems and outputs.
Competency 3: Use health information technology to guide care coordination and organizational practice.
Describe the main focus of information gathering in health care and how it contributes to guiding the development of organizational practice.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Write clearly and concisely, using correct grammar and mechanics.
Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

An afternoon workshop - held in partnership with the National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools - at the Ontario Public Health Convention April 7, 2011
As today’s worksite wellness practitioners face unprecedented pressure to demonstrate program accountability and impact, evaluation efforts are ramping up in worksites of all sizes. Whether you are simply thinking about how to evaluate, planning an evaluation, or expanding the scope of an evaluation, this webinar highlights two new resources that can enhance your efforts. The first resource is the soon-to-be-released Effective Practice Guidelines report, “Worksite Wellness Evaluation: Strategies for Employers,” published by the SHRM Foundation. The report describes and illustrates how worksite wellness practitioners can use various data analysis and evaluation techniques such as claims data analysis, break-even analysis, benefit-cost analysis, and forecasting in their particular setting. The second resource we’ll discuss is a free Massive Open Online Course or MOOC entitled “Dynamic Strategies in Worksite Wellness Evaluation & ROI,” sponsored by the University of Wisconsin. The MOOC consists of four sessions and will be available entirely online beginning October 20th. This webinar will describe the concept of a MOOC, its flexible format, an outline of the four sessions, and how to register for this no-cost course that has already attracted well over 500 participants.

Introduction
Master's-level nurses need to be able to think critically about the evidence, outcomes data, and other relevant information they encounter throughout their daily practice. Often the evidence or information that a nurse encounters, researches, or studies is not presented in the exact context of that nurse's practice. A key skill of the master's-level nurse is to transfer evidence from the context in which it was presented and apply it to a different context in order to maximize the benefit to patients in that new context.
Professional Context
Master's-level nurses need to be able to think beyond the bedside. It is important to research, synthesize, and apply evidence that will result in improved health outcomes for the communities and populations that are part of your care setting. Improving outcomes at a community or population level, even incrementally, can create noticeably significant, aggregate health improvements for patients across all of a care setting.
Scenario
Your organization has created an initiative to improve one of the pervasive and chronic health concerns of OBESITY in the community. You will need to do your own research to gather and evaluate the relevant data for your chosen issue.
Once you have created a presentation for the initiative, you have been asked to present to a group of community stakeholders. The purpose of your presentation is to inform and enlist support for the initiative from your audience.
Instructions
The optional
Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan Presentation Template [PPTX]
is provided to help you prepare your slides. If you choose to work without the template, consider referring to

and
Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX]
.
The suggested headings for your presentation are:
Community Data Evaluation.
Meeting Community Needs.
Measuring Outcomes.
Communication Plan.
Evidence.
In your presentation, you will:
Evaluate the environmental and epidemiological data about your community so that you can determine a population health issue within a chosen community.
Identify the relevant data. This can be communicated in a table or chart.
Describe the major population health issue suggested by the data within your community.
Explain how environmental factors affect the health of community residents.
Identify the level of evidence, validity, and reliability for each source.
Develop an ethical health improvement plan with outcome criteria that addresses the population health issue that you identified in your evaluation.
Consider the environmental realities and challenges existing in the community.
Include interventions that will meet community needs.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

This helps me illustrate one of my most important points. There is always a communicator who has things they want to say, only some of which are of interest to their potential audience. Further, the communicator is competing for the time and attention of people in the audience who are interested in many other things and may or may not be highly motivated to listen at the moment.Is this situation hopeless? No there are lots of things you can do. But I think the place to start is by having a firm and realistic grasp of the communicator’s dilemma.
In planning to communicate your data and analyses there are key questionsa communicator should alwaysask… What I hope to do in the next little while is talk about these questions in a way that will help you communicate more effectively
So starting with Objectives, The real point, perhaps the only point of communicating data is so that someone will use it. They might store it for future use, use it now or, if they do it often enough, form a habit of seeking and using information.
Start explanation with Demand Wanting to know something leads to actions designed to get the information neededData is processed, turned into information and made available – we do a lot of thisPlease note that availability does not equal use. Just because the information is there doesn’t mean that anyone is using it to improve decision-making. Use requires it’s own set of supportive effortsNote that use leads to improved health outcomesAlso note that increased or decreased use leads to increased or decreased demand – this is how the culture of data use, good or bad, is createdCreating a positive culture of data use is a process. In the process it’s preferable to plan communication strategy based on demand and prior to data collection
I think in a workshop like this, we often think of policy makers as a singular target audience. In truth, there are many target audiences or stakeholders for our information products and they exist in an ecology of knowledge and function. We shouldn’t be surprised that that they have different communication needs. And knowing the needs of each target audience is a key factor in effective communication.
There are a number of important audiences in our work. Audiencestypically of interest to producers of health-related information include:Policy makers have the opportunity to support the implementation of existing policies that save lives. They may also invest in and be accountable for results.Managers have the ability to improve the healthcare environment by ensuring that facilities are well equipped and adequately staffed, and that high impact interventions are implemented in a coordinated and integrated way. Having good provincial and district data for management is an important priorityProviders can respond by reflecting on the quality of care they currently provide, ensuring competency in key life-saving skills and actively improving care for mothers, babies and children.Healthcare educators are tasked with ensuring that clinical personnel are qualified to provide high quality services and develop the necessary communication skills. Families should know their rights and demand quality care, protect themselves and their children from various health threats, support community health initiatives, and know how to seek care at the right time and the right place.
Of course there is a place for detail and some audiences may want more detail than others. But an effective communicator always knows the main messages they are trying to communicate and uses these main messages to organize their communications Attributes of effective messages.Keep it short and simple KISS
Various audience use scientific information at different points in the policy and implementation cycleFor example, some audiences, like academics and intervention designers, might tend to be higher overall users during the formulation and conceptualization phase of the cycle whereas other audiences, perhaps like finance and administration, may tend to maximize their use of scientific information during the implementation and evaluation phases. Civil society groups might be more likely to use data- related information for advocacy purposes .People are selective about when they are more and less receptive to different messages they are exposed to. Effective communication can be enhanced by planning to communicate around related events:Health sector planning processHealth reform, e.g., introduction of social insurance"Special" day, women, HIV, malariaHealth event in prominent persons (birth, death, etc.)
Some TypesFace to FacePrintPerformanceAVBroadcastElectronicDegrees of inter-activityVarious media are better and worse for specific types of communicationFor example, a broadcast medium like radio may be very good at reaching a lot of people with a message. Face to face communication may be very good at communicating non-verbal information important for establishing trust.Technologies like the internet and cell phones are rapidly changing the way the world gets it’s information and represent a huge paradigm shift that blurs the boundaries between media. This makes the communications environment more complex, however, they also present expanded opportunities for communicating about health.
The web is bursting its virtual seams with 'social media'. To take UNAIDS as an example, they have gone social with the creation of accounts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and Slideshare. Through these platforms, it is now easier than ever to engage with UNAIDS to help shape the future of the AIDS response.Using these new social media, individuals and organizations with interests in health can connect to exchange ideas and resources, start discussion forums, and post reports, news and job opportunities.
Matching audiences, messages and channels can help improve the effectiveness of communication efforts. The publication Making Research Finding Actionable, provides suggestions for this kind of matching. It is available on your flash drives as a key document for this session and can be found at this URL.
Validates having conducted the researchCollecting information to document the results of dissemination allows us to see whether the communication objectives were achieved and how the findings were used.Positive experiences with using data helps to grow the demand for quality informationHelps identify best practices in research communication and utilization. Assessment plans should lay out clearly what actions should be taken by various stakeholders, thereby identifying some ways in which uptake of the information can ultimately be assessed.Sometimes it can be very difficult to isolate the exact impact of a particular communication, especially when there are many determinants, actions and stakeholders involved
Assessment QuestionsAssessment MethodsInformation use logs – e.g., number of citations, downloads, news stories reported, feedback contactsFormal survey of sample of stakeholdersKey informant interviews
Health Information and Publications Network (HIPNET) is a USAID-funded mission-driven partnership that addresses a need for access to technical health information and innovative information technologies around the world. HIPNET has developed a set of 29 indicators that help to assess four different but related aspects of effective communication. The HIPNET Indicator Guide can be found at this URL
So a best practice for preparing a presentation is to tell people what you’re going to tell them, then tell them, them tell them what you’ve told them. It using repetition and consistency to reinforce the main messages. The whole point of effectively communicating data is to have someone use the informationCommunication is a complex process of interactions between audiences, messages and communication channels.The media environment is rapidly evolving which does make things more complicated, but which also offers new opportunities for effective communication.Assessment of our efforts to communicate is critical. It’s the only way we are going to know if we’re reaching people and our primary way of getting better at what we do.
Before I conclude I want to say a word about your handout. For people who are interested, there is really a whole second presentation on effective communication shown in the handout. For people who are interested, the slides for this presentation, including explanatory text in the notes pages, will be made available to participants of this workshop. This presentation is more of a practical presentation designed for the people who actually produce information products. The presentation will point you to some very good guides to preparing effective data presentations, and provides a selected set of suggestions for general content display, formats for summarizing data for policy makers, improving graphs, and making better use of maps. We aren’t going to go over this material now. We don’t have enough time and strategically it isn’t the right time to present this level of detailed information to this group. But once you get home and you have some time, you might want to take a look at this presentation and see if it might contain some practical and useful information that you can use to improve your presentation of data.
I am obligated to mention that USAID provided support for creating and delivering this presentation. However, that said, ideas expressed in this presentation are only the views of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the US government or of USAID.
