Osteosarcoma research

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone cancer affecting adolescents and children attributed to rapid bone growth and turnover with a peak incidence at 18 years old. it is a rare incurable and often fatal disease. The current osteosarcoma treatments include standard chemotherapy, limb salvage surgery or amputation. The 5-year relative survival rate is 70% for localized forms, however, metastasis is present in about one fifth to one-quarter of patients at diagnosis, which then contributes to a 5-year survival rate of around 20%. The survival statistics have remained constant with no advances in treatment options for decades highlighting the need for new therapeutic options.

Preventing Readmissions Through Quality Healthcare

Lorman Education Services

Gain a better understanding of quality health care and improved patient outcomes based on the quality of care. Health care is quickly becoming a commodity. The increased focus on quality by CMS and other payer sources has driven the need to create effective strategies to control costs. One such strategy is reducing preventable readmissions. Hospitals are keenly aware of the cost of readmissions, both in penalties from CMS and in their reputation as centers for quality and improved patient outcomes. The purpose of this information is to equip the user with the tools to identify those patients at risk, to intervene when necessary, to disseminate to their staff, and to ensure that lasting change will occur. This information is an intermediate level course designed for mid to upper-level hospital administrators. This course is ideal for the hands-on manager to assess and implement a hospital-wide program aimed at reducing the number of readmissions.

Document Imaging and Medical Record Management

Lorman

Many Health Information Management departments are still prepping charts that come from all departments of a hospital system. This means that there is a potential time lag in making this critical information available to providers. The first place to start is selecting a document imaging solution for any paper being produced outside of your EMR system. But let's take this a step further. What if we move document imaging out of the HIM department and into each clinical area of a hospital?
