...Their cross-state rival, Auburn University, is located in Auburn, Alabama. With a recent National Championship win in 2010, Auburn University was ready to be a formidable opponent to the University of Alabama in the next few years. However, in the 2012 season the University of Alabama overpowered Auburn University in every aspect of the game. In the 2012 football season, the Alabama Crimson Tide fished the season number one in the AP poll and came home with a National Championship. The Crimson Tide ended the season with an almost perfect 13-1 record (7-1 in the SEC). The Tide’s only loss that season came to Texas A&M, a top SEC team led by their Heisman quarterback. The University of Alabama had nine players selected in the NFL draft with three players coming in the first round after the 2012 season. Alabama kept all of its coaches from this previous season. Nick Saban returned to the Tide in 2012 for his sixth season and finished with his third national championship. The recruiting class for Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide ranked number one in the nation in 2012. The class had a total of 13 players recruited in the ESPNU 150 which 3 would start for Alabama. The Auburn Tigers, Alabama’s most hated rival, on the other hand ended the 2012 football season in embarrassment to the school and fans. The Tigers completed the season with a humiliating 3-9 record (0-8 in the SEC) and didn’t even make a bowl game appearance. This was the worst season at Auburn for the past sixty years...

...Mount Auburn Hospital: Physician Order Entry (POE) Introduction * 1.3 million injuries occurred annually in 1991 * 69% are partially due to errors in patient management * 13% of these resulted in patient’s death Computerised Physician Order Entry Mount Auburn saw computerised POE as a critical patient-safety tool. Current system: Paper based and verbal communication Common errors in current system * Simple miscommunication of the drug order * Messy handwriting, confusion between names etc… * Lack of knowledge about drugs and patients * Rule violations, slips and memory lapses Advantages of POE When a physician places an order, all the relevant information are shown such as 1) Lab test results 2) Medication the patient is currently on 3) Allergic history etc.. * Everything is in real time – info about new drugs in the market, research finding, patient files * Reduced faulty drug identity checking – name mismatch problem solved * rule violations could also be lower – enhanced monitoring * ordering more streamlined * Reduced transcription error – handwriting issue solved All these will bring greater name to the hospital as the error rates will increase -> one of the Leapfrog’s recommendation is “Evidence-based Hospital referral”, hence this will generate positive name for the hospital. CRM could also be improved as the customer will be more satisfied with lesser errors and reduced...

...DISCUSSION 1.0 ROLE OF ORANG UTAN REHABILITATION CENTRE TO ENSURE THE SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES 2.1 Rehabilitation As more and more rainforest disappears, orang-utans are coming into frequent contact with humans. As a result more of them are being captured. It is absolutely vital that orang-utans be returned to the wild where they can breed and propagate the species. Orang-utans are on the brink of extinction, so each individual’s genetic blueprint is critical for the future survival of the species. It is absolutely crucial, therefore, that orang-utans have a chance to live wild in the forest, where they can continue to have babies and thereby ensure their survival as a species. At orang-utan rehabilitation centres in Borneo, captured orang-utans are gently helped to prepare for life in the wild. The captured orang-utans come through many channels. Some are confiscated from their owners or in customs when they are being smuggled out of Indonesia. Some are rescued from palm oil plantations where they have ended up as a last resort, starving because their food sources have literally disappeared. Some are actually kept by plantation workers as ‘mascots’ and pets. Preparing for life in the wild can be a long process. Baby orang-utans normally live with their mother for the first six to seven years of their life until they are strong enough to cope on their own. It takes years to teach the little ones the skills they need to become independent, wild orang-utans....

...My Community John Jr June, 2011 Shepherdsville, Kentucky is where my community is. We have a very small community but pretty much very easy going. There are some issues around my community that may have racism issues such as, gender, looks, or speech in school or sometime even with jobs on who and when someone can work somewhere. These are really little problems that we have and if you ever visited you would see this as well. In my community the members that live near me do look like me in many ways. Mostly because I live in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, that are all white skinned that lives around me. Most of the people who are in my community are females, which is weird because you would think it would be even. Now we are also different in my community because some of us are short, tall, fat, skinny, have brown hair or even have blond hair. I know my son has blond hair and I have brown. We look a like but the hair color is completely different. The leaders that we have in our society actually treat people like me very well. We get respected just like others who do not look like me. There is not a lot of racism in my community compared to other places. There is an issue in school with bullying but its basically picking on anyone and not just one individual who may be different. Our leaders look at our society as we are all the same time of person. I believe that others in my community treat people like me the same that they would treat their own...

...Being a Blonde The social construction about being a blonde has been heard around the world since as early as the 19th century and is still around today. Blonde hair has been and is considered attractive in various European cultures in history and is still seen to be the more appealing hair color. In today’s world, you can find this construction in movies and TV shows like Legally Blonde and Bob’s Burgers, and it’s even portrayed in the music industry with songs like Bridget Mendler’s “I’m a Blonde,”. This stereotype effects blonde’s everyday life’s, whether it’s how they act, or how other people act towards them. In this essay, I am going to research the history of blondes, look at how it constructs a blonde’s identity, and challenge the construction of what it means to be a “blonde” or “dumb blonde”. While researching I found that there are many definitions when you search what a “blonde” or “dumb blonde” is. One of the first definitions that pops up when you conduct a google search of a blonde is from Urban Dictionary. It says that a blonde is: “A hair color that’s a light gold color, and is usually associated with ditziness and stupidity. Usually they’re just as smart as people with other hair colors, but some of them act dumb because they think the whole ‘dumb blonde’ thing is cute or something. They’re not necessarily prettier than brunettes or other hair colors, but some of them put extra effort into makeup, fashion and weight control because of what society expects...

...Kristen Harris Anderson Reading 100 April 8, 2013 College Girl Summary Natalie Bloom is a senior Russian history major at the University of Connecticut. She transferred in her junior year from a less prestigious local college, and she feels like a black sheep at her new school. Natalie describes herself as moderately attractive and she knows that guys notice her, but she hates her body, is stressed by guilt related to sexuality, and has never had a boyfriend. One night in the library, which is where she spends most of her time, Natalie meets Patrick. He is a cute, intelligent, well-to-do boy from a fancy suburb. Things start off all right with Patrick, but as Natalie becomes uncomfortable with their interactions, she detaches emotionally but continues to hang out with him because she has convinced herself that she’s in love with him, and he is doing her a favor by allowing her to be in his presence. What had the potential to be a nice relationship transforms into a series of what are transactions in which Natalie has sex with Patrick in disturbing circumstances despite her misgivings. Natalie’s constant self-loathing and insecurity only become worse as her “relationship” with Patrick becomes more manipulative and exploitative, and she finds herself losing focus on her studies, taking up smoking, and becoming dangerously depressed. Through the entire novel, Natalie reminisces about her brother Jacob, who committed suicide when she was ten, and at times, it appears that her...

...The life of Dorothea D Wichita Area Technical College Foundations of Nursing Mrs. Plank September 18, 2012 The life of Dorothea Dix Dorothea Lynde Dix was born on April 4, 1802 in Hampden, Maine. She was the oldest of three; her parents were Joseph Dix and Mary Bigelow Dix. Her father was an itinerant Methodist preacher. Her family life can be described as abusive and nonexistent. Her mother was not in good mental health and her father was an abusive alcoholic. Once the family was in Worcester they had two more children, Joseph and Charles. Almost immediately Dorothea began to care for her smaller brothers. Even though her household wasn't the best she learned many things from her father that would influence many of her choices in life. When she was young he taught her how to read and write. This developed a passion for reading and teaching. Soon after their move to Vermont her parents moved to Worcester, Massachusetts. At this time her mother was suffering from acute, incurable headaches and her father was drinking heavily. It was decided at this time that her parents were no longer capable of caring for their three children. Her grandmother decided to take her and her brothers to live at the Dix Mansion in Boston. At this time Dorothea was twelve and had already been accustomed to caring for her brothers, which is something that continued as she lived with her seventy-year old grandmother. Life at her grandmother’s wasn’t what she was used to so she soon moved...

...study in 1991 1.3 million injuries occur annually in U.S. hospitals of which 69% are partially due to errors in patient management and 13% of these resulted in a patient’s death (Mcafee, Macgregor, Benari, 2003.) Also the Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts became aware of the landmark study (1991) and is therefore preparing to set up a physician order entry (POE) system throughout their hospital. The labor and delivery ward will first use the POE system. The new POE system will be able to replace paper-based and verbal medication ordering processes with an information system. A doctor will enter the patient’s medication order via the new system, which will next transfer that order to the internal pharmacy. Mount Auburn faces the challenge of how to introduce the new system successfully to its new users. In addition, medical error rates at the Mount Auburn Hospital can be decreased through the implementation of a POE system, because it will improve the communication of the drug order between the physicians, nurses and pharmacist and it can guarantee available drug and patient information. This paper starts by explaining the reasons for errors occurring in hospitals. The second sections deals with the implementation of a POE system at Mount Auburn hospital. Next the paper focuses on the positive impacts of the POE system. The last section describes the limitations of a possible implementation. 2. Reasons of Errors The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error...

...Mount Auburn Hospital: Physician Order Entry Physician Order Entry (POE) * An additional module to the PCI by MEDITECH * Intended to reduce preventable ADEs (Adverse Drug Effects) * Pilot implementation to be done in the labor and delivery unit Overview of the Current Process | Overview of the Proposed Process | Objectives and suggested recommendations Training of staff Any implementation of an extensive system such a POE needs to ensure all stakeholders are onboard the new process. This requires them to accept the changes as well as being sufficiently trained to take advantages of POE. To address the first issue, we suggest involving physicians, nurses, pharmacists etc. early on in the designing the system and discussing their key concerns. Once the entire staff feels part of the team implementing the change, they are more likely to accept it than if asked to adopt a predetermined decision. A system adoption statistic can be released monthly to encourage each ward to compete and speedily implement the new change. For training, staff should be fully trained in a seminar about the key aspects of the system that concern them. A systems manager should always be available for troubleshooting. Expansion of system adoption The decision to implement the phase 1 of POE in labour and delivery ward makes sense as the medication and treatments there are much simpler to try out the new system. POE system can be tested here for months and changes suggested can be implemented...

...What are the major benefits of implementing CPOE systems? What are the intended and Unintended effects of CPOE systems? With the quick improvements of the EHR (Electronic Health Record), and the implementation of this system within hospitals all across the United States, other systems that hospital's at present have must be up to the mission of being able to incorporate with HER system in order to make available the excellence of care that patient should obtain. An order admission system or otherwise known as CPOE (computerized physician order entry) is defined as, a computer system that allows shortest entry of medical orders by the person with the licensure and rights to do so (Joan Ash, 2010).The order entry system in which many hospitals apply take on the task of delivering orders that have been entered by a physician, and are accomplished of distributing these orders to many different areas of a facility. This means that the doctor can go to one place for medication orders, orders for laboratory and imaging tests, with the added aptitude of being able to view test results, and medication lists for each patient. Once integrated to work with the EHR system an in effect CPOE system even though not able to stand on its own due to the lack of being able to also incorporates clinical documentation, is an dependable system in which helps to alleviate the long hindered problems of paper-based methods, thus reducing the number of adverse effects sustained by a patient from medication...

MA CG R E G O R MICH A E L BE NA R I Mount Auburn Hospital: Physician Order Entry Introduction In September of 2002, Robert Todd, the head of information systems (IS) for Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reviewed progress toward the launch of the hospital’s new computerized physician order entry (POE) system. The committee overseeing the project consisted of an across-the-board selection of hospital representation, including physicians, pharmacy staff, nurses, administrators, and IS operations staff. The POE system was scheduled to ‚go live‛ on a pilot basis in the middle of October in the hospital’s labor and delivery unit. It had not been difficult to mount support for the project. POE systems had been demonstrated to reduce error rates, and medical errors were widely recognized as a large and serious problem in health care. A landmark study published in 19911 estimated that 1.3 million injuries occurred annually in U.S. hospitals, 69% of which were at last partially due to errors in patient management. The study found that 13% of injuries resulted in patient death, ‚a rate that if extrapolated to the United States as a whole suggested that approximately 180,000 deaths a year were, at least partly, the result of injuries received during the course of care.‛2 This study also found that adverse drug events (ADEs) accounted for nearly 20% of total injuries (making them the largest...
