The document provides biblical and geopolitical reasons for why Christians should financially support Israel, including that Israel is a democracy surrounded by dictatorships, a military ally in a dangerous region, and at the center of global conflicts. It discusses Romans 15:27 about Gentiles sharing Israel's spiritual blessings by sharing material blessings. The document is from the Israel Allies Foundation, which aims to increase Christian financial support for Israel and its Jerusalem Peace Center through educational events for Jews and Christians worldwide.
Britt Ritter is pursuing a graduate certificate in clinical informatics while working as a clinical pharmacy specialist and professor. She completed a practicum evaluating an electronic health record system at UNC hospitals. This experience reinforced lessons from her informatics coursework and demonstrated how informatics applies to patient care and pharmacy practice. Ritter believes informatics knowledge will be increasingly important for pharmacists as health data and technology advance.
This practicum aimed to help Carolina Advanced Health (CAH) achieve Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition by modifying their EHR and workflows to better document self-management support for patients with chronic conditions. A quality improvement team modified the EHR and developed new workflows. Initial results showed improvements in documenting education, goal-setting, self-monitoring tools, and counseling between August and November. Lessons included benefits of a QI framework and ensuring the "spirit" of requirements is met over just metrics.
The document describes the Clinical Research Management System (CRMS) created at UNC to streamline administrative tasks for clinical research teams. CRMS started as a homegrown system in 2010, providing a budget tool and recruitment estimator. Version 2.0 added online submissions and a dashboard tracking pre-study approvals. Version 3.0 will integrate a clinical trial scheduler. CRMS provides a one-stop system to manage research budgets, feasibility, submissions and documents, linking researchers to regulatory offices and the hospital. It has helped automate paper processes and provide transparency into parallel research processes.
Alexander Fleming was born in 1881 in Scotland and studied at various schools as a child. He served as a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I. In 1928, while working at St. Mary's Hospital, Fleming discovered penicillin after noticing mold had contaminated a petri dish and killed some bacteria. This chance discovery led to penicillin becoming an important antibiotic. Fleming died in 1955 in London from a heart attack and was buried at St. Paul's Cathedral.

This document describes a project to improve the efficiency of colonoscopy quality reporting at UNC Hospitals. The goals are to develop a standardized, semi-automated process for reviewing colonoscopy results and communicating follow-up recommendations, and to assess the impact on provider efficiency and quality. The project team designed processes to combine GI procedure and pathology data, track missing reports, and present results to providers for follow-up. Challenges included performance issues and delays integrating data from different systems, but the completed system will help streamline follow-up care.
The document discusses considerations for privacy and security policies related to patient access to their health information through a health information exchange (HIE). It outlines what an HIE is and how patient portals can help patients access their information from different sources. The document then lists questions patients should ask about how their data is handled and shared in an HIE, how access is controlled, and whether sensitive information is secured. It also discusses policy factors from the perspective of empowering individual patients and ensuring privacy when granting portal access.
This document discusses problems with current clinical data standards and proposes standardizing data elements as a solution. It notes that while terminologies are useful, variations in meaning and coding make exchanging and reusing clinical data difficult. Standardizing common data elements could help address this by facilitating semantic interoperability and improving data quality for patient care and secondary uses. The document outlines efforts by the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) and Health Level 7 (HL7) to develop standardized data element definitions and value sets for various clinical domains through a multi-stakeholder process.
The document discusses the value of analytics in healthcare. It argues that healthcare organizations have large amounts of data from various sources like EMRs, finance systems, and other clinical and administrative systems. However, this data is often underutilized. The author proposes using a healthcare enterprise intelligence framework to extract, transform, and load this data into a centralized data warehouse where it can be integrated, standardized, and made available for analysis. This would allow healthcare leaders to better understand their operations and make more informed decisions using business intelligence tools like OLAP cubes, dashboards, and reports. The goal is to improve outcomes by personalizing care based on past patient data and evidence.
