Except, it often seems, when we want to know what a piece of legislation is going to cost. That’s the conclusion we reluctantly reach after trying, just out of curiosity, to find out the potential cost of a recently introduced HIT bill. read more (Source: Healthcare IT News Blog) Healthcare IT News Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5050823 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:55:40 +0100 5050823 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4343201&cid=t_101562_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2011%2F01%2F13%2Fjared-loughner-an-example-of-our-broken-mental-health-system%2F Jared Loughner, the accused shooter in the Tuscon, Arizona murders of 6 people and dozens of others wounded — including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords — apparently had some issues. What exactly those “issues” were, we may not know until he is properly examined by a mental health professional. But his YouTube videos, combined with descriptions of the last few months of his life, suggests something serious was going on. I won’t play armchair psychologist here and make a diagnosis from afar. I think it’s a bit irresponsible when Kate Pickert and John Cloud writing over at TIME, suggest that among the 6 warning signs of mental illness, it includes things like smoking marijuana (sorry, this is not a sign of mental illness!), had five contacts with campus po...

DiStefano, so much discussed during Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation process?   To recap briefly: The city of New Haven had used a written test to determine which of its local firefighters would be considered for promotions. When the tests came back, it turned out that the high scorers were overwhelmingly Caucasian, and so the city—fearing a lawsuit from black and Latino firefighters who hadn’t made the cut—scrapped the results. Not, mind you, because the test was in any way discriminatory on its face, but because federal law frowns on any test that has a “disparate impact” on minority groups unless it can be shown to be both closely related to the requirements of the job and less uneven in its effects th...

But score one for the egg heads when it comes to identifying the practical reality of modern higher education. According to a new report from Public Agenda, while college presidents blather on about their impoverished schools and what a tremendous public good higher education is, the professors (at least those that Public Agenda interviewed) are pretty darn realistic about the real problems in academia.

Tara Parker-Pope last week wrote a fantastic article in The New York Times that acts basically as your guide to everything you need to know if you have ADHD and are planning to head off to school in the fall. It explains that while medications may need adjusting (if you’re on an ADHD medication), your support system is probably even more important. Freshman year is hard enough for most people, but even harder for teens dealing with attention deficit disorder. Your safe family and friends you’ve known often leave if you go away to school, and you can be stuck without that support system in place. In addition to talking about medications (and where/how you’ll g...

At this writing, students intend to go ahead with a showing of “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” despite threats from a state senator to withhold funding for the university if the film is screened. Many people object to porn for legitimate reasons. The question is whether the state should weigh in on the subject, pitting the moral views of some against the speech rights of others. Says McCluskey: Throughout American history, public schooling has produced political disputes, animosity, and sometimes even bloodshed between diverse people. Suc...

It has a beautiful campus and the town and university live in a beneficial co-existence. It is the last place you’d ever expect the kind of tragedy that unfolded on Thursday to happen. Stephen Phillip Kazmierczak, the gunman who killed five students and himself and injured 20 more at Northern Illinois University on Thursday still had guns and ammunition available when he turned the gun on himself. Campus police responded to the shooting within minutes, but could only call for ambulances; Kazmierczak was already dead upon their arrival. And according to the Detroit Free Press, Kazmierczak, 27, was the last person on earth you’d suspect as being capable of t...

As a result, it has cut its suicide rate amongst students in half in the past 6 years (as compared to the previous 6 years when this policy wasn’t in place). At the same time while undergraduate enrollment at Cornell has declined during most of the 2000’s, visits to the school’s counseling center have nearly doubled, from just over 11,000 in 2000 to nearly 20,000 in 2007. This may also help account for the reduction in the suicide rate. Students are making more use of the counseling services available to them, and staff at Cornell are keeping a closer eye on students who seem to experiencing extreme emotional difficulties: After years in which many colleg...
