MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: Tundra Medical System Surgeon and Anesthesia Champions FROM: Name, Director of Strategic Initiatives SUBJECT: Improving the Surgical Quality Journey with an ERAS Program Surgeons, anesthesiologists, and health care systems strive for excellence in surgical care. This is a time when the Surgical Quality Journey needs to collaborate and implement the most current evidence-based surgical quality initiatives. There is overwhelming literature to support that the use of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program significantly improves outcomes, reducing morbidity and decreasing costs. This memo requests that Tundra Medical System Surgeon and Anesthesia Champions support the use of the ERAS program to improve the surgical care and recovery care of patients. Current Surgical Care Model Observation of the process for surgical preparedness in the offices of 15 surgeons of varying specialties was completed for 6 months. In short, it was observed that patients receive limited examination and discussion with surgeons preoperatively. There was no program that addressed patient education, optimization, and assessment for surgical readiness. Patients were not provided with information of what to expect before, during, and after surgery regarding their pain management, mobility expectations, nutritional requirements to optimize healing and other measures they could engage in to prevent complications. Anesthesia care in the medical center was similarly observed. Like the surgeons, the time spent preparing a patient for anesthesia and review of what to expect before, during and after procedure was very limited. Outdated processes such as patient fasting for six to eight hours prior to procedure and heavy intra-operative use of intravenous fluids to maintain perfusion was noted. Pain management included early and often use of narcotics and opioids to manage surgical pain. Changes in care are driven by objective matrix that are measured over time and represent quality of care outcomes. In review of these matrix, data such as length of stay, surgical site infections, length of time for return of bowel function, narcotic and opioid pain medication usage, and overall patient satisfaction have had little movement in the last 3 years. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Model Enhanced Recovery After Surgery is not a new idea. Melnyk, Megan, et alia found that ERAS has been around since the 1990s and was developed to change the way patients physiologically respond to the stressors of surgical procedures (Melnyk, Megan, et al. 343).

Current State Metrics for Sales Conversion
Overview of the Process
The Sales Conversion Process begins with contact with the customer and includes the activities to understand their requirements, present a solution (both in concept and to prove out), provide pricing proposals through to procuring the software and executing a PO. The Sales Process has not been traditionally included when mapping operations within an organization; thus, there are no defined metrics for the steps of the process. The PT and LT times shown are anecdotal and should be more formally assessed by “going to the gemba.â€
Challenges
As a workforce, Sales reps are likely one of the hardest groups to map as many Sales Reps would argue that what they do is more art than science. Typically, Sales Reps have not been required to account for their time to any detail. This makes the Sales Process challenging in that there have not been any true time studies to use a foundation. The Sales Process needs to be studied at the process level, not at an individual customer level.
There are categories of waste within the areas of waiting, extra processing, correction, etc. Much of the process is manual, and likely to continue to be manual, which means you are relying on human action which is prone to error, distraction, etc. This is further support to study in detail.
Variability is a third challenge. The variability across reps (per.

GUEST EDITORIAL
Social Work and Implementation of the Affordable Care Act
Christina M. Andrews, Julie S. Darnell, Timothy D. McBride, and Sarah Gehlert
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) (full title: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) (P.L. 111-148) will generate
sweeping changes in the financing, organization, and accessibility of health and social services in the United States. The expansion of Medicaid and the establishment of state health insurance exchanges (HIEs) will vastly expand insurance access in the United States, with an estimated 30 million Ameri- cans gaining coverage (Banthin et al., 2012). The emphasis on integrated models of care, including patient-centered medical homes and accountable care organizations, introduces new opportunities to improve care coordination, reduce unnecessary service use, and make health care more cost- effective. Realizing these changes relies on the work of many health care professions. In this edi- torial, we make a case for how the social work pro- fession can forge a leadership role in implementing this historic legislation.
SOCIALWORK EXPERTISE AND THE ACA Because the ACA is so bold and ambitious, it is important to consider how the unique skills and knowledge bases of social work and other health care professions align with its objectives and goals. An integrated approach is needed to maximize the ACA’s potential to improve the health of the pop- ulation.
Four central qualities of the social work profes- sion make it uniquely suited to advance a number of the objectives and goals of the ACA. First, social work situates individuals in the social contexts in which they live. Social workers understand that individuals are part of social networks, neighbor- hoods, and communities that influence their health choices and participation in health care. Under- standing these social relationships provides us with
insight into health behaviors and health outcomes that is necessary to achieve population health goals.
Social workers likewise understand the relation- ship between health, education, employment, and other systems that form the nexus from which resources can be drawn to protect, maintain, and restore health. Social workers are familiar with the complex and overlapping systems that must be negotiated to ensure that the social, psychological, and economic needs of individuals and groups are addressed in a way that underscores optimal health. For instance, social workers know how to ensure that patients have what they need from multiple systems upon discharge, that discharge instructions are understood, and that resources are in place to ensure that those instructions can be followed. This knowledge is essential for avoiding unneces- sary readmissions—events subject to financial penalties under the ACA.
In a related sense, social work is guided by an evidence base that is informed by rigorous research within communities and collective wisdom gleaned from over a century of social work p.

Salmonella enteridis
Salmonella enteriditis is a gram negative, flagellated rod-shapped, genus, optionally anaerobic bacteria, appertaning to the enterobacteriaceae family. Mesuring about 2 to 5 µm long by 0.5 to 1.5 µm wide and motile by peritrichous flagella. Salmonella infection commonly known as salmonellosis. Both humans and animals can be affected by this infectious bacterial disease. Salmonella is known as  one of the most common causes of foodborne illness in human, called gastroenteritis. According to the center for disease control(CDC, 2022) food that is being contaminated with salmonella looks, smells and tastes as normal, With that being said, it is almost impossible to confirm that food has salmonella just by looking at it. The salmonella bacteria can be found in a  large variety of food such as eggs, chicken, pork, beef, milk, fruits, vegetables, and even in some processed food. Not only salmonella spread to people through raw or poorly- cooked food, unwashed veggies, unpasteirized milk; the bacteria can also  be spread through animals, including domesticated pets, and contaminated water (CDC,2022). Salmonellosis usually characterized by acute onset of diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, nausea including sometimes vomiting.Typically  these symptoms occur withing 8 to 72 hours after being exposed. Salmonella infections  often mistaken to stomach flu. Most people get back to normal  within 4 to 7 days without treatment, however , people with severe diarrhea that cause dehydration  may need to be hospitalized or placed under antibiotics treatment. Salmonellosis are  spread from the intestin to the bloodstream and to other parts of the body, which may cause death if left untreated. Infants, young children, older adults and people with weak immune system including malnutrion, Sickle cell disease, cancer and HIV are more likely have severe illness from salmonella infection. Approximately 1 million cases of illness, with about 400 death  are reported each year in the United States due to salmonella infection (Cowan, M. & Smith H. 2021 p664.

Respond to this post! Metropolitan Ministries is a nonprofit organizat.docxharrym15
Respond to this post!
Metropolitan Ministries is a nonprofit organization that covers six different counties including and surrounding the greater Tampa Bay area. They pride themselves on offering a variety of services for at-risk and homeless families in underserved and impoverished communities. The stakeholders of this organization should be paying attention to any political, social, and economic trends in Florida and throughout the United States. Changes in politics and in the economy can have a huge impact on the organization and that why it is essential that they are acting proactively to situations like this, instead of reactively. Monitoring social trends is crucial because social innovation and social enterprise can help to attract public and private funders throughout the US and the world (Smith & Phillips, 2016). Additionally, it is important that they are keeping track of changes within the community and its ever-changing diversity. Metropolitan Ministries has another project within its organization called the NeighborHope Project which focuses on transforming high-need communities. This project consists of a community council of individuals who share resources, information, and opportunities for improving and enhancing the communities. This is incredibly important because it helps the organization to address immediate needs and provide future opportunities for economic mobility.

INSIDE THE WAR ON POVERTY: THE IMPACT OF FOOD STAMPS
ON BIRTH OUTCOMES
Douglas Almond, Hilary W. Hoynes, and Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach*
Abstract—This paper evaluates the health impacts of a signature initiative of the War on Poverty: the introduction of the modern Food Stamp Pro- gram (FSP). Using variation in the month FSP began operating in each U.S. county, we find that pregnancies exposed to FSP three months prior to birth yielded deliveries with increased birth weight, with the largest gains at the lowest birth weights. We also find small but statistically insig- nificant improvements in neonatal mortality. We conclude that the sizable increase in income from FSP improved birth outcomes for both whites and African Americans, with larger impacts for African American mothers.
I. Introduction
IN this paper, we evaluate the health consequences of a sizable improvement in the resources available to Ameri-
ca’s poorest. In particular, we examine the impact of the Food Stamp Program (FSP), which in 2007 provided $34 billion in payments to about 13 million households, on infant health. Our paper makes two distinct contributions. First, although the goal of the FSP is to increase the nutri- tion of the poor, few papers have examined its impact on health outcomes. Second, building on work by Hoynes and Schanzenbach (2009), we argue that the FSP treatment represents an exogenous increase in income for the poor. Our analysis therefore represents a causal estimate of the impact of income on health, an important topic with little convincing evidence due to concerns about endogeneity and reverse causality (Currie, 2009).
We use the natural experiment afforded by the nation- wide rollout of the modern FSP during the 1960s and early 1970s. Our identification strategy uses the sharp timing of the county-by-county rollout of the FSP, which was initially constrained by congressional funding authorizations (and ultimately became available in all counties by 1975). Speci- fically, we use information on the month the FSP began operating in each of the roughly 3,100 U.S. counties and examine the impact of the FSP rollout on mean birth weight, low birth weight, gestation, and neonatal mortality.
Throughout the history of the FSP, the program para- meters have been set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are uniform across states. In the absence of the state-level variation often leveraged by economists to eval- uate transfer programs, previous FSP research has typically resorted to strong assumptions as to the comparability of FSP participants and eligible nonparticipants (Currie, 2003). Not surprisingly, the literature is far from settled as to what casual impact (if any) the FSP has on nutrition and health.

"What Is a Helping Relationship? Is a Professional Helping Relationship the Same as a Friendship?
As you learn the art of helping, you will be able to provide friends with a listening ear, a caring attitude, and emotional support, enhancing your relationships and aiding those you care about. There is, however, a difference between a friendship and a professional helping relationship; each is founded on a distinct contract.
For example, in a friendship, the assumption is that we are there for each other. When you are in trouble, you can talk to me and vice versa. However, in a professional helping relationship, it is the client’s issues that are discussed and the client’s welfare that is paramount. In exchange, the helper receives compensation for services rendered. Consider this analogy: You mention to your friend, who is a dentist, that you have a toothache. She may suggest that you take some aspirin and that you make an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible. Despite her professional capabilities, she probably won’t pull out her dental equipment and start drilling in the living room. Although the analogy does not hold completely, helping can sometimes be a painful process and it is best accomplished in a more professional environment where a block of time is set aside. In addition, a professional helper is required to identify and articulate issues not normally broached in a friendship, such as painful childhood memories and issues that evoke guilt and shame. Moreover, the professional helper is committed to hours of listening, ethical conduct, confidentiality, responsibility for the outcome, and disregard for being liked by the client. The professional helper’s concern is to assist the client in reaching goals, not to maintain a long-term relationship.
One reason for drawing the distinction between a professional helping relationship and a friendship is that it is easy to make mistakes in both settings when you begin learning helping skills. You might be tempted to use elaborate techniques on your friends when all they are asking for is support. On the other hand, you might find yourself treating a client as a friend. When that happens, you might not be able to hold the client’s “feet to the fire†when it is required. Remember that with friends you have no agreement for change; instead you have a pact to care, show concern, and provide support. In the professional helping relationship, you have a contract to assist the client in crafting specific life changes—not in making a new friend, enjoying each other’s company, or discussing the weather, your family, or your favorite hobby. What makes this difficult is that we have learned our natural helping skills in the context of our friendships and family relationships. It is easy to find ourselves being sociable and sympathetic rather than thinking about how to move the client toward the agreed upon goals. It is likewise easy to act like a therapist with our friends, w.

Current State Metrics for Sales Conversion
Overview of the Process
The Sales Conversion Process begins with contact with the customer and includes the activities to understand their requirements, present a solution (both in concept and to prove out), provide pricing proposals through to procuring the software and executing a PO. The Sales Process has not been traditionally included when mapping operations within an organization; thus, there are no defined metrics for the steps of the process. The PT and LT times shown are anecdotal and should be more formally assessed by “going to the gemba.â€
Challenges
As a workforce, Sales reps are likely one of the hardest groups to map as many Sales Reps would argue that what they do is more art than science. Typically, Sales Reps have not been required to account for their time to any detail. This makes the Sales Process challenging in that there have not been any true time studies to use a foundation. The Sales Process needs to be studied at the process level, not at an individual customer level.
There are categories of waste within the areas of waiting, extra processing, correction, etc. Much of the process is manual, and likely to continue to be manual, which means you are relying on human action which is prone to error, distraction, etc. This is further support to study in detail.
Variability is a third challenge. The variability across reps (per.

Social Work and Implementation of the Affordable Care Act
Christina M. Andrews, Julie S. Darnell, Timothy D. McBride, and Sarah Gehlert
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) (full title: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) (P.L. 111-148) will generate
sweeping changes in the financing, organization, and accessibility of health and social services in the United States. The expansion of Medicaid and the establishment of state health insurance exchanges (HIEs) will vastly expand insurance access in the United States, with an estimated 30 million Ameri- cans gaining coverage (Banthin et al., 2012). The emphasis on integrated models of care, including patient-centered medical homes and accountable care organizations, introduces new opportunities to improve care coordination, reduce unnecessary service use, and make health care more cost- effective. Realizing these changes relies on the work of many health care professions. In this edi- torial, we make a case for how the social work pro- fession can forge a leadership role in implementing this historic legislation.
SOCIALWORK EXPERTISE AND THE ACA Because the ACA is so bold and ambitious, it is important to consider how the unique skills and knowledge bases of social work and other health care professions align with its objectives and goals. An integrated approach is needed to maximize the ACA’s potential to improve the health of the pop- ulation.
Four central qualities of the social work profes- sion make it uniquely suited to advance a number of the objectives and goals of the ACA. First, social work situates individuals in the social contexts in which they live. Social workers understand that individuals are part of social networks, neighbor- hoods, and communities that influence their health choices and participation in health care. Under- standing these social relationships provides us with
insight into health behaviors and health outcomes that is necessary to achieve population health goals.
Social workers likewise understand the relation- ship between health, education, employment, and other systems that form the nexus from which resources can be drawn to protect, maintain, and restore health. Social workers are familiar with the complex and overlapping systems that must be negotiated to ensure that the social, psychological, and economic needs of individuals and groups are addressed in a way that underscores optimal health. For instance, social workers know how to ensure that patients have what they need from multiple systems upon discharge, that discharge instructions are understood, and that resources are in place to ensure that those instructions can be followed. This knowledge is essential for avoiding unneces- sary readmissions—events subject to financial penalties under the ACA.
In a related sense, social work is guided by an evidence base that is informed by rigorous research within communities and collective wisdom gleaned from over a century of social work p.

Salmonella enteridis
Salmonella enteriditis is a gram negative, flagellated rod-shapped, genus, optionally anaerobic bacteria, appertaning to the enterobacteriaceae family. Mesuring about 2 to 5 µm long by 0.5 to 1.5 µm wide and motile by peritrichous flagella. Salmonella infection commonly known as salmonellosis. Both humans and animals can be affected by this infectious bacterial disease. Salmonella is known as  one of the most common causes of foodborne illness in human, called gastroenteritis. According to the center for disease control(CDC, 2022) food that is being contaminated with salmonella looks, smells and tastes as normal, With that being said, it is almost impossible to confirm that food has salmonella just by looking at it. The salmonella bacteria can be found in a  large variety of food such as eggs, chicken, pork, beef, milk, fruits, vegetables, and even in some processed food. Not only salmonella spread to people through raw or poorly- cooked food, unwashed veggies, unpasteirized milk; the bacteria can also  be spread through animals, including domesticated pets, and contaminated water (CDC,2022). Salmonellosis usually characterized by acute onset of diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, nausea including sometimes vomiting.Typically  these symptoms occur withing 8 to 72 hours after being exposed. Salmonella infections  often mistaken to stomach flu. Most people get back to normal  within 4 to 7 days without treatment, however , people with severe diarrhea that cause dehydration  may need to be hospitalized or placed under antibiotics treatment. Salmonellosis are  spread from the intestin to the bloodstream and to other parts of the body, which may cause death if left untreated. Infants, young children, older adults and people with weak immune system including malnutrion, Sickle cell disease, cancer and HIV are more likely have severe illness from salmonella infection. Approximately 1 million cases of illness, with about 400 death  are reported each year in the United States due to salmonella infection (Cowan, M. & Smith H. 2021 p664.

Respond to this post! Metropolitan Ministries is a nonprofit organizat.docxharrym15
Respond to this post!
Metropolitan Ministries is a nonprofit organization that covers six different counties including and surrounding the greater Tampa Bay area. They pride themselves on offering a variety of services for at-risk and homeless families in underserved and impoverished communities. The stakeholders of this organization should be paying attention to any political, social, and economic trends in Florida and throughout the United States. Changes in politics and in the economy can have a huge impact on the organization and that why it is essential that they are acting proactively to situations like this, instead of reactively. Monitoring social trends is crucial because social innovation and social enterprise can help to attract public and private funders throughout the US and the world (Smith & Phillips, 2016). Additionally, it is important that they are keeping track of changes within the community and its ever-changing diversity. Metropolitan Ministries has another project within its organization called the NeighborHope Project which focuses on transforming high-need communities. This project consists of a community council of individuals who share resources, information, and opportunities for improving and enhancing the communities. This is incredibly important because it helps the organization to address immediate needs and provide future opportunities for economic mobility.

INSIDE THE WAR ON POVERTY: THE IMPACT OF FOOD STAMPS
ON BIRTH OUTCOMES
Douglas Almond, Hilary W. Hoynes, and Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach*
Abstract—This paper evaluates the health impacts of a signature initiative of the War on Poverty: the introduction of the modern Food Stamp Pro- gram (FSP). Using variation in the month FSP began operating in each U.S. county, we find that pregnancies exposed to FSP three months prior to birth yielded deliveries with increased birth weight, with the largest gains at the lowest birth weights. We also find small but statistically insig- nificant improvements in neonatal mortality. We conclude that the sizable increase in income from FSP improved birth outcomes for both whites and African Americans, with larger impacts for African American mothers.
I. Introduction
IN this paper, we evaluate the health consequences of a sizable improvement in the resources available to Ameri-
ca’s poorest. In particular, we examine the impact of the Food Stamp Program (FSP), which in 2007 provided $34 billion in payments to about 13 million households, on infant health. Our paper makes two distinct contributions. First, although the goal of the FSP is to increase the nutri- tion of the poor, few papers have examined its impact on health outcomes. Second, building on work by Hoynes and Schanzenbach (2009), we argue that the FSP treatment represents an exogenous increase in income for the poor. Our analysis therefore represents a causal estimate of the impact of income on health, an important topic with little convincing evidence due to concerns about endogeneity and reverse causality (Currie, 2009).
We use the natural experiment afforded by the nation- wide rollout of the modern FSP during the 1960s and early 1970s. Our identification strategy uses the sharp timing of the county-by-county rollout of the FSP, which was initially constrained by congressional funding authorizations (and ultimately became available in all counties by 1975). Speci- fically, we use information on the month the FSP began operating in each of the roughly 3,100 U.S. counties and examine the impact of the FSP rollout on mean birth weight, low birth weight, gestation, and neonatal mortality.
Throughout the history of the FSP, the program para- meters have been set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are uniform across states. In the absence of the state-level variation often leveraged by economists to eval- uate transfer programs, previous FSP research has typically resorted to strong assumptions as to the comparability of FSP participants and eligible nonparticipants (Currie, 2003). Not surprisingly, the literature is far from settled as to what casual impact (if any) the FSP has on nutrition and health.
Hoynes and Schanzenbach (2009) use this county rollout to examine the impact of the FSP on food consumption using the PSID. They found that the introduction of the FSP in.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Haptoglobin, p. 245 78 mg/dL
Diagnostic Analysis
The patient was experiencing a blood transfusion incompatibility reaction. His direct Coombs
test and haptoglobin studies indicated some hemolysis because of the reaction. His platelet count
dropped because of antiplatelet antibodies, probably the same ABO antibodies that caused the
RBC reaction.
He was given iron orally over the next 3 weeks, and his Hgb level improved. A rectal
examination indicated that his stool was positive for occult blood. Colonoscopy indicated a right-
side colon cancer, which was removed 4 weeks after his initial presentation. He tolerated the
surgery well.
