The only hard part is that it’s an endless debate with no clear resolution. However, the choices that an EMR vendor makes in regards to their cookie cutter vs. customizable approach is really important. For those who aren’t as familiar with the issue, the challenge lies mainly in out of the box utility vs. ongoing improvement. The first part of that challenge is that most doctors think that when they spend their hard earned money on an EMR software, that it should be able to just work out of the box. I think many of the other software programs and other things we buy have created this culture of things just working. For example, it’s amazing how few things you have to do to setup a new computer ...

He writes: Larry had been to hell and back and now his spirit soared. “Religion is for people who fear hell,” Larry told me. “Spirituality is for those who have been there.” Life to Larry is not about a church but belief in the human spirit. “Richard, that spirit is why I get up each day.” For him, doctors did not understand this dimension. “Psychiatry tried to beat it out of me, to convince me this was just a symptom of my disease, a psychiatric disorder” “And that was not the whole story?” “No. Even in sickness, I see a spiritual realm that to me is...

Here’s what they said instead: Does that morning chart thing you did really work? Can you send it to me? Did you make it yourself? Which font makes check boxes? Did you give the kids a prize at the end? And here’s what I realized: While we might think our parent friends are essential for talking out the big stuff, the “Is my kid going to end up in therapy because I…” moments, we really just need them for their tricks. Because this is how we get our really good parenting skills – the kind that make us feel like we’re cheating in the parenting game, a...

So, considering how popular the franchise is, it’s no wonder that one of Sesame Street’s most popular muppets, Elmo, has been recruited to help children learn more about staying healthy amidst the H1N1 influenza phase. All parents have gone through the handwashing thing with their children at some point. Some children learn it well and do it, others pay lip service and just run their hands under the water to make them look wet. But, if someone as influential as Elmo tells them how to wash their hands, the little ones may pay a bi...

Toll House® raw cookie dough was behind a recent outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 that sickened 80 individuals – two thirds of them children and teenagers – in 31 states during May and June of this year. Thirty-five of the victims were hospitalized as a result of their illness. Ten developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a life-threatening complication that typically affects 5-10% of those infected with E. coli O157:H7.Nestlé's Danville, VA cookie dough production facility was shut down in mid-June to facilitate FDA's investigation.

The agency has wrapped up its investigation into Nestlé's Toll House cookie dough manufacturing facility in Danville, Virginia. Raw cookie dough produced in the Danville plant is believed to be responsible for an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections that has sickened 76 people in 31 states. Thirty-five of the victims were hospitalized, 11 with life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome.After an investigation that lasted from June 18th through July 9th, no one is any the wiser as to how at least three different strains of E. coli were able to contaminate the raw cookie dough."Three different strains," you ask? Yes.

It seems, though, that FDA needs some help to figure out what "transparency" and "openness" mean. transparency: characterized by visibility or accessibility of information especially concerning business practices (from Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)openness (derivative of open): completely free from concealment, exposed to general view or knowledge (from Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)For example, openness and transparency mean:Releasing the entire inspection report for Nestlé's Toll House cookie dough production facility, not just a one-page summary for an investigation that took two weeks to carry outReleasing the results of lab tests, i... eFoodAlert.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2593265 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:34:00 +0100 2593265 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2561194&cid=t_119634_86_f&fid=34445&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwomenshealthnews.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F06%2F30%2Fassorted-fda-related-updates-transparency-tylenol-and-cookie-dough%2F The FDA has a transparency blog up at http://fdatransparencyblog.fda.gov/ where the agency is asking the public for comments on how they can do better at being transparent. For example, question 3 is “What tools, techniques, processes, or other mechanisms should FDA use to be more effective in providing useful and understandable information?” There are very few comments thus far, so go on over and share your thoughts. FDA Confirms E. Coli O157:H7 in Prepackaged Nestlé Toll House Refrigerated Cookie Dough. Do not want.

Significant clusters of reported cases occurred in February/March 2005, August 2005 through January 2006, April 2006 through December 2006, and April 2008 through December 2008.

The most recent FDA inspection, performed over the course of 12 hours on March 12 2009 – only four hours of which were spent on the Toll House cookie dough area – did not uncover a single sanitary violation or "objectionable" condition.The inspection reports reveal little else.

And since it’s highly unusual for E. coli, an intestinal bacterium of cattle (i.e., it’s in their feces) to be present in something like cookie dough, investigators are so far at a loss to explain exactly what is going on. But, since all of the people who became sick ate the same raw cookie dough product, it seems obvious that it’s the cookie dough that’s to blame. The question is, from where did the E. coli come? If it were inadequately cooked hamburgers that were responsible, it would be easy to link E. c...

The “ideas” or “cognitions” in question may include attitudes and beliefs, and also the awareness of one’s behavior. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, or by justifying or rationalizing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Cognitive dissonance theory is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology. Dissonance normally occurs when a person perceives a logical inconsistency among his or her cognitions. This happens when one idea implies the opposite of another. For example, a belief...

Mid-morning (on a weekend or holiday) and sometime after 3pm.
