PortholeLove is a portholeIn the giant iron boxWe ’ve all been born into First you find a portalTo see what everyone else sees:This is a treeThere ’s a squirrelThis, we call a streetAll that above is blueWhile below we call green Millions of tiny gapsIn the firmament Of isolated lookingnessGazing out on the worldAgreeing on a languageThat is cold and precise While love is sharing a viewFrom a single small windowWith someone like youWhere I can sayYou know, the grass Today has a purplish hueDusted with splashesOf blooming clover And you touch my handIn a gesture of assent &n...

Cash is Queen Says RCM Experts
Revenue provides stability and flexibility to healthcare organizations. Both are extremely valuable as patient volumes remain below pre-pandemic levels. The healthcare staffing crisis is also putting severe margin pressure on organizations. To address this challenge, organizations are turning to technology and partnering with specialized vendors to improve their revenue cycle processes.
Healthcare IT Today recently sat down with two experts in revenue cycle management (RCM) to discuss how adopting technology and properly motivating people can make a big difference:

Daily skin-to-skin contact in weeks after birth linked to less crying and better sleep
By Emma Young
Few things are as stressful as listening to your baby crying — and excessive crying is clearly not good for the baby, either. Skin-to-skin contact is widely used in the first hours after a birth, with benefits for infants and parents. But, according to a new paper in Developmental Psychology, a daily hour of skin-to-skin contact for weeks afterwards is beneficial, too: it reduces crying and improves sleep.
Kelly Cooijmans at Radboud University, in the Netherlands, and her colleagues recruited Dutch healthy first-time mothers with full-term infants for their randomized controlled trial. On signing...

We Seem To Have So Little Traction Being Seen With The #myHR The Time To Give Up Must Be Rapidly Approaching!
This appeared a few days ago. My Health Record an expensive 'white elephant', critics say A decade after its launch, only 12 per cent of My Health Record accounts are being accessed. Andrew Gigacz Journalist June 20, 2022 A federal government health initiative is now 10 years and has cost upwards of $2 billion. But in the eyes of many, it ’s a white elephant and a failure. Who remembers the cybersecurity and privacy concerns that plagued the introduction of My Health Record, the system that aimed to give healthcare providers up-to-date information at the touch of a button – especially important for older Australians wi...

Devil ’ s Dyke Lepidoptera
I’ve taken a number of trips to Devil’s Dyke, Cambridgeshire in the last couple of years, tramping back and forth along the chalky ridge looking for butterflies. In the summer time, when the weather is fine you can almost reach right up and touch them. Saw my first Dark Green Hairstreaks and Chalkhill Blues there in 2021 and my first Adonis Blue in 2022 (an unofficially introduced species).

Friday Feature: Unschooling
Colleen HroncichOne of the more controversial ideas in education seems to be unschooling. While there isn ’t a formal definition for it, unschooling is generally an approach that lets children follow their interests when it comes to learning.The concept of unschooling is radical to many people who are accustomed to our current school system. But looking beyond the current K ‑12 system, it’s clear the ideas behind unschooling have a long history, even if the term does not.From their earliest days, children are learning. They learn to roll over, sit, stand, walk, talk, eat, and drink without spending a m...

Robot touch makes people feel good — especially when accompanied by robot small talk
By Matthew Warren
For many of us, the past two years have demonstrated how important the touch of others is to our emotional wellbeing — and how hard it is to go without it. But in the absence of physical contact from other humans, could robots provide an adequate substitute? Past work has found that robotic touch can elicit positive emotions in people — and now a new study in Scientific Reports finds that the effect is better when the robots talk at the same time.
Taishi Sawabe from Nara Institute of Science and Technology and colleagues tested the effects of robotic touch and speech on 31 Japanese volunt...

This Looks Like An Occasion Where Tech Is Making A Real Difference!

“I study the dance between a bacterium and its host. If we can decode the secrets of that dance—how the pathogen causes disease, and how the host fights back—we might be able to take advantage of vulnerabilities to improve our ability to combat infections,” says Víctor J. Torres, Ph.D., the C. V. Starr Professor of Microbiology at the New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine in New York City.

poem
Op Note XXII remembered the patient from clinic. When I came into the room the first thing she said was can you please wash your hands. I ’m like whatever. I always use that foamy stuff in the hall but it isn ’t a big deal. So I start washing them, soap and water, a good old scouring. The other side please, she says. Huh? I look at her. The OTHER side, she pleads. Oh the back of my hands I realize. So I do the full enchilada, churning the flesh of my hands into a froth of disinfecting soap. I rinse them off. Praying that she finds the tongue of paper tow...

New book provides practical guidance for women (and men) to rebalance our lifestyles and build Cognitive Reserve
On one of our “walk and talks” around the lush trails of Rock Creek Park in DC surrounded by bikers, runners, cars and the occasional deer, Wendy and Lisa talked about aging. Wendy’s mother, who had her children in her early 20s, was still joining the family’s grueling summer hikes with her children and nine grandchildren well into her 60s. Wendy mused about how much older she would be when their kids could have their own kids. It dawned on her that her health was not just a here and now issue, but an investment in that future. We agreed to help each other cultivate the habits and make time to build strength as wel...
