HRSA Health IT Webinar: "Tips For Generating and Utilizing Quality Data Reports Using Health IT." Presented on Friday , July 22, 2011, 2pm to 3:30pm EST This webinar focuses on how safety net providers such as health centers and rural providers can generate quality reports and utilize this data for improving healthcare outcomes. Collecting and analyzing data is one of the central functions for assessing and targeting how to improve healthcare quality. Data enables staff to accurately identify workflow and care coordination inefficiencies, establish best practices, and assist in providing evidence based examples to staff and patients on how to improve outcomes. This webinar's presenters will demonstrate how they use health IT and/or electronic health records systems as a tool for generating quality reports. Furthermore, these safety net providers will demonstrate how they use their health center or critical access hospital clinical data for successfully coordinating care among provider teams, informing and engaging patients on care decisions, and for improving health quality and outcomes. The presenters include: • Kwame Kitson, MD Director of Quality Institute of Family Health, New York State • Margaret Flinter, APRN, PhD, Vice President and Clinical Director, Community Health Center, Connecticut • Bob DeMarco, RN, MA, BSN, Chief of Quality and Systems Improvement, Springfield Medical Care Systems, Vermont

I've always thought that being given a small token of appreciation when donating to a cause was a lovely gesture. Sure, having been in marketing for most of my life this is a well known strategy. But I'm not talking only textbook here - I'm talking about the feeling one gets when they are acknowledged for giving of themselves to a cause (monetarily and/or otherwise).

Because breast cancer has so personally touched me through friends and family I would like to share some tips if you are looking to raise money for this cause. Please let me say that I am not talking about the solicitation of large donations from individuals - that is a whole different art and science. I'm talking about if you are holding an event like a walk or a race, or an event where the cost to attend is less than $ 75, or simply putting out a request for donations. In such cases keep these things in mind:

People loved to be 'thanked'(its a type of acknowledgment and everyone likes to be acknowledged). It can be as simple as a heartfelt look in the eye and handshake while saying the words "Thank You". That and a small gift is especially nice. Make it personalized. If you can personalize the thank you gift/token to the event or cause it's a plus. For example, if you are giving glass magnets with a pink ribbon design and you can personalize them so that they say "Fenton 10K Run, 8.02.09" it is especially meaningful and will be used with pride. Tie it to the cause. If you can give something that one associates with the cause so much the better. For example: a pink picture frame, a pink candle, etc. Make it something someone would want to receive. Bumper stickers, car magnets and/or buttons are not always the most appreciated of gifts. Try to tailor it to who is purchasing. If you know that the event will mainly attract females then giving 'female friendly' tokens of your appreciation such as pink manicure sets, pink compact mirrors, pink candles, etc.
