Amber/Karen/Tammy – I will wait to hear any changes from you before posting. I will also use information in this statement to respond to the Ames Tribune inquiry about the Ames People response. Thanks Steve STEVE SULLIVAN Director, Marketing & Community Relations Mary Greeley Medical Center 1111 Duff Ave. Ames, IA 50010 515-239-2129 | www.mgmc.org Mayfield, Christina BH huddle information August 03, 2020 at 8:07 AM CDT To: Geffre, Cory 8/3/20 · Great news- the shower head can stay attached in the hall shower! This is still being taken out-please stop! · Recognition award, see announcement on huddle board · At this time, all transferred patients must have a negative COVID test before we will accept them. As always, this is subject to change quickly. · Service Project-collection for the homeless shelter. Please see the flyer hanging on the collection tub for ideas. SDMT will deliver at the end of August · RQI extended until September 1. The cart will be in PT gym Aug 5-10. Please leave the PT gym unlocked as the whole hospital needs access to the machine. · Cell phones vs patient care. Which is more important? Well, while rounding on the patients, several of them think the staff’s cell phones are more important. I have had complaints from SEVEN different patients now that staff, specifically nurses, have been on their cell phones while they (the patient) needed something or were waiting for medications. I think everyone knows I am not a stickler on no cell phone use, but when it becomes more important than patient care, we have a problem. This is your warning!!! We are here to take care of patients, please make that a priority when you are here. Chris Mayfield, RN-BC, BSN Clinical Supervisor, Adult Behavioral Health Mary Greeley Medical Center 1111 Duff Ave. Ames, IA 50010 515-239-2682 mayfi[email protected] Dieter, Brian Communication regarding COVID and Capacity August 31, 2020 at 5:05 PM CDT To: All MGMC Staff, Active-Physicians As Story County’s COVID-19 positivity rate rises, Mary Greeley Medical Center is assessing the situation at the hospital every four hours. We are focused on ensuring we have sufficient staffing and resources to treat our patients. We are not experiencing a surge in COVID-19 patients at this time. Our number of COVID-19 patients has remained fairly steady over the past few weeks, averaging 10-15 per day. We are treating patients for a range of conditions throughout the hospital, including COVID-19. Inpatient units are busy and we are reassigning staff to areas that need additional support. We also need to follow the requirements of the Governor’s proclamation that we keep 10 percent of our critical care beds open and 10 percent of our medical/surgical beds open. Because of these (and additional) factors, we may need to limit and / or reschedule some procedures. We will work with the appropriate providers and departments to do everything we can to minimize disruption. We know this is a stressful time and deeply appreciate everyone’s commitment to provide outstanding care for our patients and for supporting our colleagues.

  • LB21 Recipient RE-98-18-0114-18
    RE-98-18-0114-18 - American University Abstract American University Game Lab and FableVision Studios propose a national forum on best practices in developing and presenting effective game programs in libraries to enhance the training and professional development of library staff and faculty. The forum will bring together diverse stakeholders including leadership in school, public, college, and university libraries to discuss and disseminate best practices and future trends for library game programs. A diverse set of digital deliverables will be created from the forum and disseminated to libraries around the U.S. Recently produced learning frameworks, created by library associations, have issued a strong call to integrate digital and 21st Century Skills into the library experience. The Future Ready Librarians framework encourages the formation of collaborative spaces as well as learning and professional development that focus on creativity, innovation, and the active use of technology as well as critical thinking, information literacy. Innovative librarians familiar with current practices in game-based education, game creation, and game literacy have already seen the immediate connection between the foundational skills listed in these types of library frameworks and the parallel research and opportunities that exist in the field of game-based education and game-based research. The AU National Forum on Libraries and Games will allow these innovators in the library field to come together experts in game design thinking to define a series of best practices that will connect the use of games directly to existing library frameworks. The national forum will assemble thought leaders, program managers, and creative game designers to identify best practices and new approaches in library game programs.

  • From Archangels to Virtual Pilgrims: a Brief History of Papal Digital Mobilization As Soft Power
    religions Article From Archangels to Virtual Pilgrims: A Brief History of Papal Digital Mobilization as Soft Power Johannes Ludwig Löffler Center for Religion and Modernity, University of Münster, 48149 Münster, Germany; johannes.loeffl[email protected] Abstract: The perpetual public display of successful mass mobilization and pilgrimage has become a pillar of papal soft power. During the 20th century, the papacy had repeatedly demonstrated its ability to use new technologies for public communication, media content production and mass mobilization. John Paul II endorsed the establishment of the first Vatican website and an official papal e-mail account, which provided Catholics a new form of communication with the Holy Father. During the pontificate of Benedict XVI, the papacy created several Twitter accounts, which would become the backbone of papal digital mobilization. Francis built on the success of his predecessors as he initiated the modernization of the Holy See’s media department. However, with the growth of the Internet and the stress test of the COVID-19 pandemic, the mechanics of mobilization, pilgrimage and power have considerably changed. With the religious role of the popes taken as a given, the paper looks into the history of papal mobilization, the role of the Internet and why it is not used to its full potential yet.
