This is a photograph of 14th Street, in Washington, DC. The street is currently undergoing a rejuvination, and reflects some of the beautiful shades of spring that Washington reveals to passers-by.

I am in Besthesda, MD, attending the Institute’s intensive training seminar. The quote above is from Roslyn Marshall, RN, Nurse Manager for the Neurosciences Unit at Medical College of Georgia, who placed a sign with the words in the title near the place where nurses used to do their shift changes. They now do shift changes at the patient bedside. The other quote I liked was from Terry Griffin, who said:
No one more than parents wants to make sure their baby’s care is error free
In reference to including parents in hospital rounds and nursing rounds. I also learned to not call “Carts on Wheels” “COWs” - “WOWs” (”Workstation on Wheels”) is better.

When in California last week, I went to visit Larry Leisure, President, North America, and Deryk Van Brunt, DrPH, Senior VP of Business Development for iMetrikus.

iMetrikus is part of the Continua Alliance, and has expertise in collecting and processing patient derived biometric data using FDA-cleared gateways, and in presenting the data to support clinical workflow. Here are a few images of the devices. The MetrikLink device connects many different devices via a phone line or PC, but it is not required if the device has standard connectors. There is also a mobile platform, especially interesting for patients who may rely on a cell phone for Internet connectivity.
