The document summarizes the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which allocated $19 billion to promote health information technology. It provides incentives for healthcare providers to adopt electronic health records to improve care quality. The funding supports things like standards development, regional health information exchanges, and incentive payments for doctors and hospitals that show meaningful use of certified electronic health records between 2011-2015. Adopting electronic health records now allows providers to take advantage of these significant federal incentives and avoid penalties for non-compliance later.

2011 cryopreservation of redwood (sequoia sempervirens)Tarek Ali
This study compared three vitrification-based cryopreservation techniques (vitrification, encapsulation-vitrification, and droplet-vitrification) for cryopreserving apical and basal buds from in vitro redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) shoot cultures. Only droplet-vitrification ensured bud survival and regrowth after cryopreservation. For apical buds, regeneration was possible after PVS2 exposure between 90-180 minutes, with a maximum of 18% regeneration at 135 minutes. For basal buds, regeneration was possible over a larger range of PVS2 exposure (30-180 minutes), with a maximum of 22% regeneration also at 135 minutes. Histological observations were made to examine the

Impact on Health Reform on Device Development and FundingUBMCanon
The document discusses the impact of US healthcare reform on medical device development and funding. It summarizes that healthcare reform through the Affordable Care Act and other policies is driving major changes in health insurance purchasing and moving payments from fee-for-service to bundled payments and accountable care organizations. This shift to alternative payment models will require device manufacturers to understand how provider reimbursement is changing to ensure their devices provide value within the new systems.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Albert Lowey-Ball on implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in California. Key points include:
- Medi-Cal enrollment expanded by 3.9 million people while Covered California enrollment reached 1.4 million.
- Provider networks are narrowing and differentiating as the healthcare marketplace consolidates among health plans, hospital systems, and medical groups.
- Implementation has been successful in expanding coverage but challenges remain around reaching certain hard-to-enroll populations and stabilizing premium increases.
- The expansion presents implications for specialty medical groups like radiology to carefully partner with dominant health plans and hospital systems.

Using the Perioperative Surgical Home as a Model to Implement CJRWellbe
Watch the webinar on youtube: https://youtu.be/rNaU_P2mHXE
The transition to value-based care models has increased pressure to deliver high quality and cost effective care. The medical home concept has gained traction in the primary care setting, and now, the perioperative surgical home has the potential to improve patient satisfaction, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness in the acute setting.
Dr. Zeev Kain, Chancellor’s Professor of Anesthesiology and former Associate Dean of Clinical Operations at University of California at Irvine Health, will share challenges and lessons learned implementing their Joint Replacement Surgical Home to provide more coordinated, standardized care.
What you’ll learn:
– An overview of the Perioperative Surgical Home model, and how it can improve outcomes while reducing cost
– Lessons learned from UC Irvine’s implementation of a Joint Replacement Surgical Home
– Considerations for implementing a Perioperative Surgical Home in your organization
About the Speaker:
Zeev N. Kain is a Chancellor’s Professor of Anesthesiology & Pediatrics & Psychiatry and the Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Care at UC Irvine Health. Dr. Kain completed residency training in Pediatrics and Anesthesiology, a fellowship in Pediatric Anesthesia and was received an MBA from Columbia University.
