Prescribing Controlled Substances Goes Electronic
Get PDFWith the Affordable Care Act in 2010 came interoperability and meaningful use requirements. Part of these requirements included the implementation of electronic medical records (EMRs), which was a crucial part of achieving these standards. With EMRs, prescribers began sending electronic prescriptions. EMRs can provide advanced decision support when writing prescriptions, and they include features such as auto populating the quantity prescribed, formulary information, therapeutic duplications, warnings about interactions, or other potential clinical or regulatory issues. This system results in enhanced patient care and a more streamlined dispensing process. In addition, electronic prescriptions for controlled substances (EPCS) has become more widely used as a tool to combat the opioid epidemic
The Financial effect of Covid-19 on children\u27s hospitals without pediatric psychiatric units
Get PDFIntroduction: Boarding of pediatric psychiatric patients in emergency departments and inpatient medical units while awaiting placement in psychiatric facilities was common before the COVID-19 pandemic and was associated with significant hospital cost. The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a mental health crisis in the pediatric population. This study looked at the how the COVID-19 pandemic affected pediatric psychiatric boarding and the effects of pediatric psychiatric boarding on hospital finances.
Methodology: The methodology of this study utilized a literature review with semi-structured interviews of local subject matter experts. The literature review analyzed the effects of the COVID-19 precipitated pediatric mental health crisis on pediatric psychiatric boarding and the financial effects of psychiatric boarding on children’s hospitals.
Results: Pediatric psychiatric boarding during COVID-19 was majority due to COVID-related stressors. There is mixed evidence for the number of pediatric psychiatric boarding admissions to emergency departments and general inpatient units during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is also mixed evidence regarding length of stay for pediatric boarding patients. Limited data was found regarding hospital cost and reimbursement for pediatric psychiatric boarding during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Discussion/Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent pediatric mental health crisis had a significant impact on pediatric psychiatric boarding. More studies are needed to determine the extent of the financial effects of COVID-19 due to pediatric psychiatric boarding
Scorpions of China: an updated checklist with comments on some taxonomic issues (Arachnida: Scorpiones)
Get PDFAn updated checklist of scorpions of China (52 species belonging to 13 genera and six families) is provided, with Chinese name equivalents and an illustrated map of all localities. Colored photos of the Chinese population of Mesobuthus thersites (C. L. Koch, 1839) and one Olivierus sp. in vivo habitus are provided for the first time. The recent taxonomic changes are summarized. The monotypic genus Tibetiomachus (Hormuridae) with its single species T. himalayensis is considered a nomen dubium. The validity of the previously synonymized Scorpiops atomatus Qi et al., 2005 and S. validus (Di et al., 2010) (Scorpiopidae) is questioned, although they are not formally restored from synonymy. Olivierus hainanensis (Birula, 1904) (Buthidae) is possibly a junior synonym of O. martensii (Karsch, 1879); a reanalysis of the syntypes is warranted. The name “Scorpiops jingshanensis Li, 2016” is a nomen nudum. Additional comments are made upon two unavailable names that appear in an unpublished MS thesis (Zhang, 2009; in Chinese): “Mesobuthus beijiangensis” and “M. nanjiangensis”. A revision is needed of several species with weakly supported diagnostic characters, such as Olivierus bolensis (Sun et al., 2010) and Scorpiops puerensis (Di et al., 2010). The applicability of the diagnostic characters proposed for Olivierus bolensis (Sun et al., 2010) and O. longichelus (Sun & Zhu, 2010) is found to be unstable, based on the examination of some new specimens from Xinjiang. Their relationship with another two recently described species (O. mikhailovi Fet et al., 2021 and O. tarabaevi Fet et al., 2021), as well as the misidentified “Mesobuthus caucasicus intermedius” in China, remains unclear until a molecular study is accomplished
The Sermons of the Appalachian Preaching Mission 1958-1977
Get PDFThe Appalachian Preaching Mission was an annual event that took place in Johnson City and other Tennessee cities from 1955 to 1986. A 1968 history of the Mission states that its purpose “was to allow the people of the area to hear great preachers that they would not ordinarily have the opportunity to hear.” Some of those preachers lived in or near Johnson City; others came from as far away as Arizona, California, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Texas
