DealMax Honors "Old Glory" with Tips on Proper Flag Etiquette

DealMax Honors "Old Glory" with Tips on Proper Flag Etiquette

AP9 DealMax Reminds Members How to Show National Pride -- by the Book.

Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) June 12, 2008

DealMax (SM) (http://www. dealmax-program. com/), a multi-tiered discount shopping program from Adaptive Marketing LLC (http://www. adaptivemarketing. com/memprogs_discounts. asp), prides itself on knowing a little something about everything -- including proper handling of the American flag. Nationalistic feelings over the "Stars and Stripes" seem to have been on the rise in recent years, and AP9 DealMax (http://ap9consumergateway. typepad. com/ap9_articles/dealmax/index. html) wants to help honor America -- by the book -- the way history intended. 

Back in 1916, then-President Woodrow Wilson officially declared June 14th as National Flag Day. Prior to that, though, and thanks to a dedicated New York City kindergarten teacher named George Balch, the first "unofficial" Flag Day celebration took place at the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia, PA, on June 14, 1891. (Apparently, Balch arranged a special day for his students to honor the flag in June 1889; his idea was adopted by the New York State Board of Education and was later recognized elsewhere.)

For years after President Wilson's proclamation, people in many cities in different U. S. states celebrated June 14th as Flag Day. And in 1949, some 60 years after George Balch's original patriotic notion, 33rd U. S. President Harry S. Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day. Armed with that bit of important history on "Old Glory," DealMax (http://www. emediawire. com/releases/AP9_DealMax/DealMax/emw679713.htm) advises displaying the U. S. flag with pride … and with special attention to these simple but important U. S. flag codes:

-- Wait for the word. Only the President or a state governor can order a flag to be flown at half-staff. This often indicates a time of national (or statewide) mourning, and flags shouldn't be flown at half-staff unless the official word is given.

-- Don't seal the deal. It might look cool in a college dorm room or even as a decoration on the ceiling of a den or living room, but the U. S. Flag Code (established in 1923) prohibits the flag from being used as a ceiling covering.

-- Make sure it's the one and only. They say that George Washington commissioned Betsy Ross to sew the first U. S. flag to very precise specifications. That's why the flag needs to be displayed in its purist form; with nothing attached to it, nor altered in any way. Again, decorations might look cool or amusing, but they might also offend someone.

-- This ain't no costume party. No part of the flag -- except replica patches and lapels -- should ever be used as a costume. The late Abbie Hoffman probably didn't see things that way, but the flag represents a living country and is considered a living thing by many.

AP9 DealMax (http://www. dealmax-program. com/800-548-0685_DealMax. html) offers these handy guidelines on the American flag not only to help citizens celebrate Flag Day on June 14th, but also to honor America throughout the entire year. Show respect and personal pride in the U. S. -- with a little help from DealMax.

San Juan Regional Medical Center Interfaces Perinatal Documents into EHRs via MEDITECH Scanning & Archiving with Access Universal Document Portal

San Juan Regional Medical Center Interfaces Perinatal Documents into EHRs via MEDITECH Scanning & Archiving with Access Universal Document Portal

Leading New Mexico facility bridges gaps between GE Centricity and MEDITECH SCA in obstetrics (OB) department as well as MetaVision ICU system and Provation system with Access UDP.

Sulphur Springs, TX (PRWEB) September 8, 2010

As at many hospitals, staff members at San Juan Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) typically scanned obstetrics (OB) patients’ documentation after discharge, and performed laborious manual indexing into MEDITECH Scanning and Archiving. SJRMC CIO Sheri Rawlings explains the challenges this manual process presented.

“Scanning and manually indexing patients’ perinatal documents was time-consuming for our HIM staff and there was the chance of associating the documents with the wrong patient,” Rawlings said. “If a patient returned for any reason we may have had an incomplete record, which could affect care.”

Rawlings and her team, who are committed to improving patient care through the use of innovative technology, looked for a solution that would overcome these problems and complement the hospital’s GE Centricity and MEDITECH Magic suites. After a thorough market analysis, they chose Access Universal Document Portal (UDP), part of the industry-leading Access Enterprise Forms Management (EFM) suite, the only solution of its type.

Access UDP will capture COLD feeds from GE Centricity, convert this into a standardized format and assimilate the data into patients’ electronic health records (http://accessefm. com/Healthcare-Solutions/Forms-Management-Workflow-Automation-Obstetrics/Perinatal-EHR-EMR-Integration. aspx) (EHRs) through auto-indexing in MEDITECH Scanning and Archiving.

“With Access Universal Document Portal we can port perinatal documents from GE Centricity into MEDITECH Scanning and Archiving without manual intervention,” Rawlings said. “This saves time, eliminates errors and ensures we have all the information we need to provide continued care to OB patients.”

After further exploring the capabilities of Access UDP (http://accessefm. com/Products/Access-Universal-Document-Portal-UDP. aspx), Rawlings realized that the product could also overcome other pain points with clinical documentation. Clinical information for patients admitted to the ICU are kept in the MetaVision application. When the patient was transferred to another unit the chart had to be printed and physically carried to the next clinical unit, decreasing efficiencies in the ICU.

Now, Access UDP will capture output from MetaVision, convert it into a standardized format and interface it into patient records in SJRMC’s MEDITECH Scanning and Archiving (http://accessefm. com/Products/Access-Universal-Document-Portal-UDP. aspx) system.

“With Access Universal Document Portal we’ll be able to seamlessly share information between our MetaVision ICU system and Meditech CIS,” Rawlings said. “This gives physicians and nurses access to complete electronic records from anywhere in the hospital, which increases care quality and efficiency. Additional plans include the porting of information from the Provation system into MEDITECH as well.”
