The Cerner EHR supports Capital Health clinicians with critical patient information to make treatment decisions and improve the health care experience

Capital Health, a regional leader in providing progressive, quality patient care, is now using a new electronic health record (EHR) across its two hospitals’ acute care areas to better serve the community and its patients. The EHR from global health care technology company Cerner Corporation supports doctors, nurses and staff to document and access critical patient information to make treatment decisions, ensure safety and improve the health care experience.

“During this challenging time, we are proud to offer our patients an improved health care experience through the launch of our new EHR,” said Gene Grochala, chief information officer, Capital Health. “Despite the challenges of COVID-19, our staff came together to successfully launch this new technology as part of our commitment to the health and well-being of our patients. We look forward to showing the community the benefits of this new system in simplifying and streamlining our ability to provide high-quality health care services.”

The new Cerner EHR will support Capital Health clinicians to efficiently document and access patient information all in one location. Having the most up-to-date patient information at their fingertips supports clinicians in making the most appropriate and informed data-driven decisions. It also means patients who receive care at both Capital Health hospitals may not have to fill out as much paperwork because their critical health data will be able to follow them between locations.

“Setting up a new EHR during a global pandemic is not a simple task, and Capital Health overcame immense challenges to complete the project for the benefit of its patients and clinicians,” said Brian Kincade, senior director and general manager, Cerner. “We were able to successfully move a large portion of the design and build activity to a virtual environment, due to social distancing and travel restrictions, without skipping a beat. Capital Health’s dedication to getting the new system up and running, while also providing life-saving care amid COVID-19, is a testament to its commitment to the community.”

Patients will also have access to their health records through Cerner’s secure online patient portal. Once enrolled, patients can securely exchange messages with their care team, view health information and records, settle balances and view upcoming appointments. Through greater access to their own information, Capital Health is empowering patients to take a more active role in their care to support health and well-being.

As a multiple award-winning and recognized health system, Capital Health serves as a Level II regional trauma center, comprehensive stroke center, regional perinatal center (including a Level III NICU) and emergency mental health screening center. Capital Health is also the area’s most advanced provider of cancer treatment delivered by some of the most experienced medical experts.

Bosnian health workers received their first Covid-19 vaccine shots on Friday and officials in the country’s autonomous Serb Republic announced a mass inoculation drive for later this month.

Bosnia had not received any vaccines until last week, when its first batch of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine arrived, enabling it to start inoculating medical staff working in Covid-19 hospitals and departments in its Serb-dominated region.

In January, the Balkan country announced plans to order Russian and Chinese-made vaccines, fearing deliveries ordered under the COVAX scheme for poor countries and from the European Union would be too little too late.

Bosnia, which also comprises the Bosniak-Croat Federation that has not received any vaccines yet, has ordered 1.2 million vaccine doses under the COVAX scheme and nearly 900,000 from the EU. Officials hope the first doses will arrive later this month.

“We expect that Republika Srpska will receive the first quantity of vaccines for 100,000 people in the second half of February, and kick off a mass inoculation with the Russian vaccine,” Serb Republic Health Minister Alen Seranic said in the region’s main city of Banja Luka.

The region has ordered 400,000 doses of the Sputnik V vaccine and Serbia has donated vaccines for 5,000 Bosnian Serb medical staff who will be inoculated in Serbia, he said.

As of Thursday, Bosnia had recorded 125,123 cases of the new coronavirus and 4,868 deaths.

In the Western Balkans region, inoculations have begun only in Serbia, which ordered the Pfizer/BioNTech , Sputnik V and Sinopharm vaccines. Serbia has also announced it could have the capacity to manufacture Sputnik V domestically by the end of the year..

Montenegro, North Macedonia and Kosovo have not received any vaccines yet. Albania has received some. In Montenegro, municipalities along the Adriatic coast have been hit hard by Covid-19, with 118 new cases alone in the coastal town of Budva. It has reported 66,857 coronavirus cases and 861 deaths.

Phoenix Children’s and the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix announced the hire of Stewart Goldman, M.D., as chair of the Department of Child Health and senior vice president of research.

Dr. Goldman, who assumes his post on April 1, is an internationally renowned pediatric oncologist and physician-researcher whose appointment is part of a long-term, strategic effort to strengthen Phoenix Children’s research program, bring bench-to-bedside treatments to the health system’s patients and enhance its world-class clinical programs.

“It’s impossible to overstate the value Dr. Goldman will bring to our institutions and to Arizona children and families,” said Phoenix Children’s CEO Robert L. Meyer. “He will stop at nothing in his search for cures to devastating illnesses and will bring a new level of rigor, excellence and inquiry to our research tradition and clinical programs at Phoenix Children’s.”

“In our partnership with Phoenix Children’s Hospital, we seek to advance education and research so that we can provide the very best care for children who need it most. We are excited to welcome Dr. Goldman, who brings a distinguished record as a physician, researcher and leader to his new role as the chair of our Department of Child Health,” said Dean Guy L. Reed, M.D., dean of the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix. “We are grateful to Dr. Mitch Shub, the previous chair of the department, who has done so much over many years to promote education and research at the College and to advance the care of children in Phoenix and beyond.”

Dr. Goldman is tasked with continuing to grow a robust research and education enterprise in one of the fastest-growing markets in the country, and recruiting the nation’s top talent. He will oversee a research program that consists of 700 studies, 640 research investigators and 90 research staff members including research scientists, associates, biostatisticians, pharmacists, nurses, coordinators and assistants.

In his role leading the Department of Child Health science laboratories at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, Dr. Goldman and his team will focus on translational research across all aspects of children and family health to innovate clinical care, advance new therapies for common and rare childhood diseases, and to improve the emotional, educational and cognitive well-being of children.

In addition to his work to advance the research agenda, Dr. Goldman will continue to cultivate and grow the academic mission of both organizations, which currently educate more than 113 residents and 63 fellows.

“I am honored and excited to join this world-class children’s health system and uniquely progressive medical school to bring innovation and advances to children and their families,” said Dr. Goldman. “The partnership between Phoenix Children’s and the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix will enable us to find new, better and less-toxic treatments for children. I’m also thrilled for the opportunity to work with Arizona’s diverse populations, to understand the challenges facing individuals of all backgrounds, and to work toward alleviating health disparities and improving care for all children.”

Dr. Goldman comes to Phoenix after a 23-year tenure at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, formerly known as Children’s Memorial Hospital, and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where he was the division head of Hematology-Oncology, Neuro-Oncology & Stem Cell Transplantation; was honored as the Meryl Suzanne Weiss Distinguished Professor in Hematology, Oncology & Stem Cell Transplantation; and served as a professor of Pediatrics.

An accomplished leader in brain tumor research, his contributions to the medical and scientific communities are significant. Dr. Goldman has published more than 150 articles in peer-reviewed journals and has held leadership positions with the Children’s Oncology Group, is a member of the National Cancer Institute’s Brain Malignancies Steering Committee, serves on multiple committees for the American Society for Pediatric Hematology Oncology, is a member of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium’s Executive, Steering and Scientific Committees, and has served as a faculty member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, among numerous others. In recent years, Dr. Goldman’s research has focused on new therapies for pediatric brain tumors including diffuse midline gliomas.

He also is the recipient of dozens of awards including Loyola University’s 2020 Stritch School of Medicine Alumni of the Year for Excellence in Research and Innovation, the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation’s Pioneer Award for outstanding contributions in pediatric neuro-oncology and brain tumor research and the University of Chicago’s Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award. He is regularly included in America’s Top Doctors, America’s Top Doctors for Cancer and in Chicago Magazine’s annual Top Doctors issues.

“In partnership with surgeon in chief, Dr. Dan Ostlie, and physician in chief, Dr. Jared Muenzer, Dr. Goldman will enhance Phoenix Children’s clinical excellence and innovation,” said Meyer. “His work alongside our physician-researchers will amplify our efforts and bring new hope to children with life-threatening conditions.”

Phoenix Children’s physicians engage in research across multiple clinical disciplines including cancer, neurology, cardiology and pulmonology, and this research is expected to expand significantly with Dr. Goldman at the helm. Indeed, Dr. Goldman’s appointment comes on the heels of groundbreaking new research from Phoenix Children’s/University of Arizona physicians, including a study co-authored by Michael Kruer, M.D., confirming the genetic basis for some cases of cerebral palsy. This research was published in Nature Genetics in October.

Dr. Goldman’s prior hospital appointments include Children’s Memorial Research Center, Children’s Memorial Hospital and Wyler Children’s Hospital. He received his medical degree from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and completed his internship, residency and fellowship at the University of Chicago Hospitals.

A brand new £30m hospital for people in Berwick has now moved a step closer as a contractor has been appointed. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has awarded the contract to a Northumberland-based construction company, Merit.

This ambitious project will transform health care and patient experience for those living in the area.

On 1 December 2020 Northumberland County Council’s strategic planning committee granted planning permission, giving the project the green light to go ahead. In addition, further funding has now been made available to ensure this building is fit for the future of health care and also incorporating inflationary costs while reaching this point.

Sir James Mackey, chief executive of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We are delighted to appoint Merit. As an experienced and well-established construction specialist, with a varied and impressive portfolio, I can assure the people of Berwick that we are confident that Merit will deliver a state-of-the-art hospital. It is fantastic that they are a local company, based in Cramlington.

“For too long, residents have needed a new hospital which is fit to deliver 21st century health care, now and for future generations, and is equipped to embrace the latest technology to provide our patients with the highest quality of care. Our new hospital will also enable closer working with primary care, again improving patient care and experience.

“In these uncertain and difficult times, this is an extremely welcome innovative development, which will also generate 300 jobs per year during construction and support the local economy. I would like to reassure everyone in Berwick that we will keep them regularly updated as this exciting project progresses.”

Work to enable the demolition of vacant parts of the current hospital is to begin this month and will enable the construction of the new development on the northern end of the site to begin in the Summer.

Merit managing director, Tony Wells, said: “We are delighted to be working with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to deliver Berwick’s new hospital. As Merit is based in Northumberland we are proud to be delivering a facility in our local area.

“Merit recently launched a new division, Merit Health, to provide healthcare providers and patients with next generation hospital facilities. We have collaborated with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management (NHFM) to develop a design that is zero carbon emissions, has built in infection control and is technically enabled for the future of health care.

“A large part of the construction work will be undertaken offsite in the Merit factory in Cramlington. The use of offsite manufacture means that Merit can control the quality, significantly improve the programme and minimise disruption to those who live and work in Berwick.”

Northumbria Healthcare’s executive director for nursing and midwifery, Marion Dickson, who is leading the project for the trust, said: “While our staff at Berwick do an amazing job and provide the highest quality of care for our patients, they are constrained by the poor physical condition and functionality of the building which is, in parts, nearly 150 years old.

“Having a purpose-built hospital will make a massive difference to them and ensure an improved experience for our patients while providing enhanced privacy and dignity.

“I would like to thank our staff and the local community for their ongoing support over the years and we will keep everybody up-to-date during the exciting times ahead.”

Originally built in 1874, the current infirmary is no longer suitable for the efficient delivery of modern-day healthcare. The new purpose-built hospital will re-provide all the existing services with the addition of an accredited endoscopy suite to deliver care closer to people’s homes, and house GP practice Well Close Medical Group.

The national Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) has opened a new lab focused on health and nutrition. Wageningen University & Research is one of the partners in the lab and with their contribution takes steps in the application of Artificial Intelligence within health and nutrition. An example of what’s to come are AI-based nutritional analyses that provide important insights and personalized support. This gives the dietitian or nutritionist time to focus even more on coaching or treatment.

The new OnePlanet ICAI lab for Precision Health, Nutrition and Behavior is a collaboration between a/o Radboud University, OnePlanet Research Center, Radboudumc and Wageningen University & Research. Eight PhD students and three postdocs will in time join the new initiative. They’ll work on the development of new sensors, algorithms, chatbots and apps that provide personalized support in the field of health and (eating) behavior.

Guido Camps from Wageningen University & Research and Tibor Bosse from Radboud University will start as academic directors of the new lab. They are enthusiastic about the new collaboration between the various institutes. Bosse: “This lab gives us the opportunity to take significant steps in the application of Artificial Intelligence in the field of nutrition and healthcare. The personal approach combined with technical means contributes to the necessary change in our eating behavior.”

Camps adds: “The expertise in the field of AI comes from Radboud University, the sensors from imec, OnePlanet and the other industrial partners and Wageningen University & Research provides the expertise in the field of nutrition and health. By joining forces, I think we can really contribute to the field. We know that making nutritional advice is quite time consuming in practice. By using smart apps, the important interpersonal side of nutritional advice and (eating) behavior can receive even more attention. ”
About ICAI

ICAI is a national network focused on technology and talent development between knowledge institutions, industry and government in the field of Artificial Intelligence. It is WUR’s second ICAI lab, after the AI ??for Agro-Food Lab.

One of the careers that are actually in demand right now is that of a dietitian or a nutritionist. If you think you’re passionate about food and nutrition, then these careers could be the right path for you. When you’re a nutritionist, you’ll serve as an advisor for people who require a health guide about their food intake, diets, and menu plans. You’ll also have to know your clients’ current lifestyle before assisting them in their habit changes and making better food choices.

Your goal is to help clients lose weight, maintain ideal weight, reduce fat, or boost energy. While some nutritionists start their own business, some would apply to hospitals, nursing homes, and other food and health companies. You may refer to this article to guide you in finding a job as a nutritionist.

People’s interest in pursuing better fitness, nutrition, and better health is increasing every year. Thus, the industry for nutritionists is growing as well. As long as you have the correct qualifications and requirements, you’re likely to have plenty of job opportunities in line with this industry.

Whether you intend to start your own business or work for another company, here are five things you may have to consider first before becoming a nutritionist:

1. You Need To Have Interest In Food And Science

The first thing that would drive you to become a nutritionist is to have an interest in the field itself. It’ll be hard to pursue a course that doesn’t appeal to you in the first place. Aside from the enthusiasm, it would help if you also had that natural ability to motivate people. To do this, you need to have a better understanding of people and their lifestyles. Every client is different, so you need to treat each of them personally by creating different plans that best work for them. The best way to help them is by explaining complex ideas in a comprehensive and straightforward manner.

2. Finish A Bachelor’s Degree In The Field Of Nutrition or Food Management

Before you can become a nutritionist, you need to have a bachelor’s degree in the field of nutrition science, dietetics, or food management. When you have the proper courses, it’ll be easier for you to apply for private practices as some states have different requirements. Some need valid certification and licenses, while others would need you to have legal accreditation for certain positions. You can also research first about what your state requires so you can fully comply with them.

It would also be helpful to understand the difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian, as it could depend on your location. The important thing is to know what this line of work entails.

Once you’ve completed the course, certifications, or license that your state requires, you can proceed to apply for private practices. This option is best for people who want to pursue a more advanced degree. When you join private practices, you open yourself up for more opportunities. You can choose to become a nutrition educator or food researcher.

You can also work and practice under hospitals or nursing homes. There are also some food companies that hire their own nutritionists to work with them. Delivery diet plan companies and weight loss companies also accept nutritionists to work for them and help guide their clients to lead a better life.

3. Be A Persuasive Communicator

While you may have the interest, the proper degree, and the right amount of exposure to nutritional companies, you also need to be an excellent communicator to pursue this career. As mentioned earlier, each client will be different. Not only will you be working with your client, but you’ll also have to work against their outside influences. For instance, your client may be listening to you during your sessions regarding diet plans and controlled food intake. However, when your client gets home, he’s influenced by his friends to eat at fast-food restaurants with them. That itself could lead your client to easily succumb and forget the session you had for that day.

That said, you need to be a persuasive communicator. To do that, you need to have the ability to create and maintain good relationships with your clients to trust you, listen, and, hopefully, follow your every instruction. You don’t need to talk to them about complex ideas and scientific terms that will only drive their attention away due to your language being hard to understand. Listen to them and let them talk about what the outside world says about their diet, and talk them out of it in an engaging language that they can easily understand.

4. Understand First That You Can’t Help Every Client

Before becoming a nutritionist, you need to understand that there’ll be instances that you can’t help every client. It can be disappointing as a nutritionist to see your clients slip back to their old cycle no matter how you’ve both worked hard on your client’s health and lifestyle changes. You may give them tools and equipment to support them despite them not anymore willing to go through with the health plan. You need to recognize that you can only do so much for them so that you wouldn’t reach your breaking point as a nutritionist.

Finishing Up

Besides taking note of all of the points mentioned above, it’s best to stay informed and updated about the food industry. The more skills and information you acquire on food and diet issues, the more likely you’ll be successful as a nutritionist.
