education & careers Central Michigan University has opportunity to achieve 30,000 enrollment President George E. Ross delivers State of the University address Central Michigan University President George E. Ross said now is CMU’s “time of opportunityâ€? as he challenged the campus community to achieve a total enrollment of 30,000 students during his 2014 State of the University address recently. “Maintaining 20,000 students on campus is the first challenge we face together,â€? Ross said. “Reaching 10,000 students through Global Campus is the second. These are our challenges. And reaching 30,000 students is our opportunity.â€? Ross said shrinking numbers of college-age students in Michigan threatens to lower the university’s on-campus enrollment to 17,500 by 2020. That would represent a loss of about $50 million in annual revenue. However, by rallying together as it did the past year, the campus community can hit the 30,000 target, he said. Ross credited the efforts of all CMU employees, students and alumni in turning around three years of enrollment declines, with a nearly 27 percent increase in this year’s fall freshman class. CMU also saw increases in international students and on-campus graduate students. “As we celebrate this success, we also need to be inspired by it,â€? Ross said. “We must wage a ‘forever campaign’ to recruit students â€Ĺ and to retain students once they’re here. We must be innovative in the education we deliver. “Faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends and trustees of CMU, make no mistake: we are part of an incredible university,â€? Ross said. “Make no mistake: When we continue our collective and concerted efforts, we will keep our on-campus enrollment at 20,000.â€? Ross noted the growth opportunity of CMU’s Global Campus, with a No. 1 ranking for undergraduate online programs from U.S. News and World Report and its pioneering efforts in delivering degrees at remote locations. “Today, CMU’s Global Campus enrollment is nearly 7,500. And I have to say: We are missing a golden opportunity if we don’t take a serious look at how we grow our Global Campus enrollment to at least 10,000,â€? Ross said.
Ross cited a $95 million Biosciences Building, classroom renovations with the latest technology, and an expanding College of Medicine presence in Saginaw as reasons to celebrate. Yet, he credited the university’s 2,600 faculty and staff for building indelible connections with students and inspiring their success. “We have stayed true to who we are for 122 years,� Ross said. “Our brand — the CMU brand — happens when
we deliver academic excellence with hands-on, personalized learning experiences inside and outside of the classroom. It happens when we put a spotlight on CMU’s unmistakable maroon and gold and when we deliver that great sense of community as we nurture student and alumni success. “CMU is a university that students choose because it prepares them for leadership and success in their careers, in their lives and in their communities.� provided

Nurseâs Viewpoint
By Alison Lazzaro, RN
Hospital Newspaper Correspondent
Lifting the Stigma: Reforming Mental Health Mental illness affects 61.5 million Americans. One in 17 Americans lives with serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder. The American Medical Association describes mental illness as the nation's number one health problem. It currently sends more people to the hospital than cancer, lung, and heart disease combined. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among people ages 15-24. Every day, 22 veterans die from suicide. Sadly, suicide is the second leading cause of death in college students. Serious mental illness costs Americans $193.2 billion in lost earnings and productivity every year. Not addressing the lack of access to mental health care can lead to higher rates of high school dropouts, unemployment, incarceration, hospitalization, and homelessness. Since mental illness does not discriminate between gender, race, age, or socioeconomic status, support for mental health legislation should equally cross party lines. Two current bills are in Congress regarding mental health reform: âH.R. 3717, the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act,â and H.R. 4575, âStrengthening Mental Health in our Communities Act of 2014.â Some highlights of the bills are federal resources for jail diversion, increased resources for suicide prevention, and grants for tele-psychiatry for treatment of mental health disorders. Additionally, the bills provide protections for access to psychiatric medicines through Medicare and Medicaid and financial incentives for substance abuse treatment programs. Opposition to this bill includes those who do not believe mental illness even exists or that it requires the same status of treatment as medical diseases. There are no easy biomarkers that can be tested for in the laboratory in order provide a positive diagnosis of depression. There is no easy recovery for every individual with mental illness. However, to say that there are no chemical imbalances in the brain and that these medications do not make life livable for the population is an outrage. People living with mental illnesses like depression face a negative stigma, hiding their illness to disguise what society thinks might be a personal weakness. What happens when people with depression do not have access to medication and treatment? These people cannot just âsnap out of it.â Why is it acceptable to take medication and seek treatment for stomach pain, knee pain, and diabetes, but treatment for the brain is seen as illegitimate? Right now it is actually easier to obtain access to a gun than it is to get access to mental health treatment. There is little legislation for preventing illness from escalating to crisis. As nurses, I urge you to back these mental health reform bills because the consequences of non-treatment are devastating to avoid homelessness, incarceration, episodes of violence, suicide and fiscal losses of non-productivity. Nurses have the ability to enact political change and ensure positive steps to mental health reform. Be an advocate for your patients suffering from mental illness - speak up, disband the negative stigmas, and support policy changes to improve access to mental health treatment.

Ask An Expert Physician Collaboration Drives Cost Savings By Christopher J. O'Connor Executive Vice President, GNYHA Ventures, Inc., President GNYHA Services, Inc. and President, Nexera, Inc. Like never before, hospital leadership must employ every possible method to reduce costs, including the implementation of a supply chain management plan that is defined by solid, strategic physician relationships. Hospital leadership needs to identify physician stakeholders and educate them about their vital interest in the healthcare supply spend. One way to initiate these relationships is to invite clinicians to join your hospitalâs value analysis team, or better yet, to lead it. Many clinical purchasing decisions, after all, are made by habit rather than by evaluating the evidence. When physicians are incorporated into the value analysis team and empowered with comparative data on the cost and efficacy of clinical products, they are much more willing to initiate product changes. Once physicians embrace their role on the value analysis team, they learn how their changes actually improve the bottom line while preserving the quality of care. In turn, hospital leaders must ensure that the necessary tools are in place to measure the success of the value analysis program and then make certain those results are communicated to stakeholders. Such collaboration enables physicians to see the positive results that are directly attributable to leaving their clinical comfort zones. Of course, value analysis is just one area in which to forge strategic physician relationships. Hospital leaders should pursue other opportunities to engage physicians in strategic processes to produce positive changes for their institutions, especially those focused on the quality of care. Quality improvement initiatives foster collaboration across disciplines, providing a forum where different members of the care team work together to solve problems. This same method of communication can and should be used to build strategic relationships between the medical staff and supply chain leadership. Strong physician relationships require regular, meaningful, two-way communication between doctors and senior management. It is critical for hospital leaders to be good listeners who work with physicians to craft solutions based on clinical needs. When the C-suite controls the dialogue and sets rigid parameters for the decision-making process, it furthers the divide between management and clinicians, making it difficult to resolve problems or take advantage of great ideas. I have a colleague who likes to say, âYou need to be able to call a physician by his or her first name.â What sheâs really saying is that hospital leaders must build relationships with physicians based on a foundation of trust and respect. Those relationships can then be used to move the facilityâs supply chain strategy forward with full clinical endorsement so that it meets physiciansâ needs while achieving purchasing economy. The bottom line is that successful cost-reduction strategies must move healthcare professionalsâboth hospital leadership and cliniciansâout of a silo culture toward a culture of collaboration. The C-suite should be candid about the challenges of delivering quality care in the current environment and invite physicians to be catalysts of change, helping to find solutions for a healthier future for patients and hospitals alike. Christopher J. OâConnor is Executive Vice President of GNYHA Ventures, Inc., the for-profit arm of the Greater New York Hospital Association, and President of two GNYHA Ventures companies: GNYHA Services, Inc., an acute care group purchasing organization, and Nexera, Inc., a healthcare consulting firm. Mr. OâConnor is also Chair of the Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM).

In addition to
Dr. Lee also has achieved Level III proficiency in Adult Comprehensive Echocardiography and Cardiac Electrophysiology.

Lenox Hill Hospital opens new Exhibition and Study Center Lenox Hill Hospital officially opened the Kevin M. Cahill, MD, Exhibition and Study Center, a new study and exhibition space in honor of Dr. Kevin M. Cahill, director of the hospitalâs Tropical Disease Center. The new space features Dr. Cahillâs collection of books, many of which are antiquarian volumes, a study center and an exhibition space.

Emergency Physicians need more resources to manage Ebola The arrival of the Ebola virus in the United States has prompted the nationâs emergency physicians to urge policymakers to provide more resources for personal protective equipment and training for emergency care workers as they manage the front lines of this deadly disease. âThe response to Ebola should be regionalized, with emergency departments screening and identifying patients who are infected, and then transporting them to facilities specially equipped to care for them,â said Alex Rosenau, DO, FACEP, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). âRapid identification of infected patients combined with a regional response will protect both patients and health care workers, in particular emergency physicians and nurses, from spreading the infection.â According to Dr. Rosenau, the top priorities should be increased funding for emergency department disaster preparedness, increased training and supplies of personal protective equipment for all health care workers in emergency departments. Additional resources are needed to train EMS medical staff, including paramedics and emergency medical technicians. âEmergency physicians are asking Congress to restore funding to the federal Hospital Preparedness Program, a program designed to help hospitals plan for emergencies,â said Dr. Rosenau. âFunding to this program has been cut by 50 percent since 2003. In addition, all emergency departments need rapid âyes/noâ testing for the Ebola virus in labs dedicated to identifying Ebola patients. We also support the highest level of personal protection guidelines, such as those promoted by the Doctors Without Borders, and we are glad the CDC has strengthened the protocols. This is a Level 4 pathogen, and the experience of that organization with this virus is unparalleled. There also should be consideration for tightening travel restrictions.â In addition, ACEP is advocating for enactment of trauma systems and emergency regionalization legislation, as well as funding of a national grid of bio-containment hospital annexes. Good Samaritan liability protection for first responders in a national emergency, such as in the Ebola crisis, is also a top priority for the nationâs emergency physicians.
âIn this rapidly changing environment, we are in daily contact with our members and have convened a panel of emergency medicine infectious disease experts to provide advice on a continuous basis about best practices for managing patients with suspected and confirmed Ebola,â said Dr. Michael Gerardi, president-elect of ACEP. âOur upcoming annual meeting features three courses about Ebola being taught by leading experts in disaster medicine.â Dr. Rosenau said that emergency physicians are also urging the public to be candid with their doctors. âTell emergency physicians the truth about where you have been and what your symptoms are,â said Dr. Rosenau. âPatients who conceal their travel histories or exaggerate their symptoms do themselves and the public a huge disservice. We are ready to take care of you, but we can only do that if you are completely honest.â
In addition, Dr. Gerardi said the best thing the public can do is to get their annual flu vaccine. âMany of the symptoms of flu are identical to those of Ebola, such as high fever,â said Dr. Gerardi. âIn order to minimize the number of patients in doctorsâ offices and emergency departments with these symptoms, we urge everyone to get the flu shot.â
⢠This disease is only spread through direct
Here are some important points about the Ebola virus:
ACEP is the national medical specialty society representing emergency medicine. ACEP is committed to advancing emergency care through continuing education, research and public education. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, ACEP has 53 chapters representing each state, as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. A Government Services Chapter represents emergency physicians employed by military branches and other government agencies.
⢠According to the CDC, symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure.Those symptoms may include fever, severe headache, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain and unexplained bruising or bleeding.
⢠Ebola is NOT spread through the air or by water, or in general, food.
contact, specifically bodily fluids transmitted through broken skin or mucous membranes.
⢠Unlike influenza, a person with Ebola has to be symptomatic in order to be contagious.
