Rabies is common in bats throughout Nevada, and bat activity tends to increase between the months of May and October. “Always avoid direct contact with any bat, and never touch them without gloves,” Dr. JJ Goicoechea, NDA state veterinarian, said. “Don’t allow exposure to children or domestic animals.” Any bats, dead or alive, that may have been in contact with people or domestic animals should immediately be submitted to the Animal Disease Laboratory for testing and reported to county animal control and health authori- ties. Contact the lab before attempting to pick up a bat. Even though rabies prevalence in Nevada’s bat popula- tion is estimated at only one percent, the Animal Disease Laboratory confirms between 10 and 20 cases of bat ra- bies per year. To date, the lab has tested 61 bats, and six were positive for rabies (three in Clark County, and three in Washoe County). In the state of Nevada, rabies vaccination is required for dogs, cats and ferrets. Companion ani- mal owners are urged to have pets vac- cinated against rabies and maintain a regular vaccination schedule. Indoor cats should also be vaccinated, as bats can enter and exit residences unnoticed. 1 10 Fallon Tribal Health Center September 2018 FTHC Optical Department Update Chiropractic Services: Dr. Emm is now at the FTHC two days per week, Mondays and Thursdays.

Roosevelt during the Great Depression and World War II is now investment banker speak for “soft launches” of sell-side and capital raise transactions. Every company has a price, and given a market of healthy valuations, more companies are testing the waters to find out whether they can achieve that price. That process now looks a little more informal, or how you might envision a fireside chat. Price (or valuation) discovery for a company can range from a single conversation with an individual buyer to a full-blown auction with hundreds of buyers and everything in between, including a fireside chat. Given the increasing share of informal conversations, the reality is that more companies are for sale than meets the eye. While the healthy valuations publicized and press-released are encouraging more and more companies to price shop, there is a simultaneous statistical phenomenon in perceived valuations that often goes unmentioned: survivorship bias.

  • Private Equity Buyouts in Healthcare: Who Wins, Who Loses? Eileen Appelbaum and Rosemary Batt Working Paper No
    Private Equity Buyouts in Healthcare: Who Wins, Who Loses? Eileen Appelbaum* and Rosemary Batt† Working Paper No. 118 March 15, 2020 ABSTRACT Private equity firms have become major players in the healthcare industry. How has this happened and what are the results? What is private equity’s ‘value proposition’ to the industry and to the American people -- at a time when healthcare is under constant pressure to cut costs and prices? How can PE firms use their classic leveraged buyout model to ‘save healthcare’ while delivering ‘outsized returns’ to investors? In this paper, we bring together a wide range of sources and empirical evidence to answer these questions. Given the complexity of the sector, we focus on four segments where private equity firms have been particularly active: hospitals, outpatient care (urgent care and ambulatory surgery centers), physician staffing and emergency * Co-Director and Senior Economist, Center for Economic and Policy Research.

In each of these segments, private equity has taken the lead in consolidating small providers, loading them with debt, and rolling them up into large powerhouses with substantial market power before exiting with handsome returns. https://doi.org/10.36687/inetwp118 JEL Codes: I11 G23 G34 Keywords: Private Equity, Leveraged Buyouts, health care industry, financial engineering, surprise medical billing revenue cycle management, urgent care, ambulatory care.

Many of the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) health information systems in the private sector today were designed from a financial perspective and now are being reengineered to address medical and clinical informatics requirements. The VistA system is a proven product and can be readily adapted for use in acute care, ambulatory, and long-term care settings. It has been used in public and private healthcare provider organizations across the United States and in a number of international settings. 223 39251_CH09_223_284 11/27/06 5:26 PM Page 224 224 CASE STUDIES OF VISTA IMPLEMENTATION—UNITED STATES AND INTERNATIONAL Table 9-1 VistA Software Modules VistA Software Packages Pharmacy: Inpatient Medications Health Data Systems Pharmacy: Inpatient Medications— Automated Medical Information Exchange Intravenous (IV) (AMIE) Pharmacy: Inpatient Medications— Incident Reporting Unit Dose (UD) Lexicon Utility Pharmacy:

  • Images, Electronic Health Records, and Meaningful Use: a Vision For
    Images, Electronic Health Records, and Meaningful Use: A Vision for the Future January 10–11, 2011 Bethesda, Maryland Executive Summary, Discussions, and Recommendations EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: MOVING TOWARD MULTIMEDIA ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS: HOW DO WE GET THERE? The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) co-sponsored a workshop in January 2011 to consider the opportunities and implications for health care when electronic health records (EHRs) contain multimedia data. The workshop provided a venue for a diverse group of stakeholders to share their vision and perspectives on both technical and practical implementation issues and how these issues may inform the future development of the definition of Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Records under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, 2009. The meeting was specifically not for policy development regarding Meaningful Use. Drawing from this diverse group of health care providers, patient advocates, health system leaders, payers, and commercial vendors, this workshop report presents a summary of their viewpoints and concludes with possible pathways toward multimedia electronic health records. When considering meaningful use of images, participants considered it important to focus on the goal of creating value and efficiency in health care and that health outcome should be the driving force toward that goal. Participants also recognized that electronic health records should be patient-centered and controlled. While safeguarding patient privacy, they also note that it is crucial to be able to access health information regardless of location to enable care providers to make decisions based on comprehensive, relevant data on the patient, including image data, at the point of care.
