I was at the VA hospital getting the latest covid vaccine shot and I saw this guy sitting quietly by the pharmacy. I decided to go say hello. We had a wonderful 20 minute chat talking everything from military service, his role in Killer Of Sheep, his role in Queen Sugar and much more. Simple, kind and genuine. Mr. Henry G. Sanders. Now Keep Moving. #vahospital #military #militaryactor #killerofsheep #veterans #military #southernvalues #queensugar #pharmacy #covid19 #cinema #tvseries #independentcinema #independentartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CmLlGg4u4b_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The VA Has Increased Infection Prevention Practices, But Still Room for Improvement

MedicalResearch.com Interview with:

Dr. Vaughn Valerie Vaughn MD, MSc Assistant Professor of Medicine; Hospital Medicine VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and University of Michigan Medical School @ValerieVaughnMD MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: Health care-associated infection are a major patient safety problem. Fortunately, they can often be prevented through key practices. The Department of Veterans Affairs has been an early adopters of these key strategies through a combination of policies, directives, and initiatives which have aimed to reduce health care-associated infection. No one had previously looked across infections to see whether key infection prevention practices are being used in the VA. MedicalResearch.com: What are the main findings? Response: We survey all VA hospitals between 2005 and 2017 and found an increase in 12 different infection prevention practices. Notably, over 90% of VA hospitals report regular use of key infection prevention practices related to Clostridioides difficile infection and central line-associated bloodstream infection. Despite these gains, there are still critical areas for improve, including catheter-associated urinary tract infection, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and diagnostic stewardship for health care-associated infections.  MedicalResearch.com: What should readers take away from your report? Response: The VA has successful increased the use of infection prevention practices—especially those related to CLABSI and CDI. This really demonstrates how concerted national efforts can improve patient safety. Other health care systems and hospital networks should seek to learn from these successes as they seek to improve reduce health care-associate infection. MedicalResearch.com: What recommendations do you have for future research as a result of this work? Response: Interestingly, we found that most hospitals continue to lack good diagnostic stewardship practices to reduce unnecessary microbiologic testing related to health care-associated infection. Inappropriate testing can lead to false positives which may lead to inappropriate antibiotic use and patient harm. Further studies need to identify best practices to diagnose health care-associated infection which balance the risk of missing diagnoses with the risk of over-diagnosing infections. I have no disclosures. This work was supported by a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Center for Patient Safety funded Patient Safety Center of Inquiry.

At our VA appointment today. Chief alerted to a heart rate spike, responded to my anxiety, performed grounding, tucked out of the way during my appointment, and watched my 6 when we were waiting for our ride. #chief #sdit #workingdog #tasking #veteran #vahospital #vaappointment #dragonschiefsavage #makinglifebettertogether #kellinovadesigns #legendaryservicedogs #patienceandlove #activedoggear #intothemindofdragon (at Lexington VA Medical Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmREVqFhHcb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=144hp21ouimnf

To build the #vahospital here in #NewOrleans an entire neighborhood was leveled. Within that neighborhood was this historic school they literally raised and moved to another location. This was almost ten years ago. So Teedy knew once y'all got back second-lining she could go on head and do what they been planning to do all along since it was basically just parked on a lot in the middle of prime #gentrification #realestate. Well played. Score one for corruption. (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQeot1lDlPy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let’s talk ladies, why do you think it’s ok to go and get a #brazilianwax without showering first? Who told you it was ok to go get waxed with a tampon in? This is very distrusting and I need answers. Proper #hygiene is a must #Repost @queendom_aesthetics ・・・ Hey, Ladies! Here’s so some do’s to prepare for your Brazilian wax appointment! We want to make sure you’re comfortable as well as your Esthetician! • • • 🧼How to Prepare for a Brazilian🧼 1. Please shower before your appointment. (This is a must. No exceptions) (we have the right to refuse service to anyone who doesn’t comply to this rule.) 2. Hair must be a quarter of an inch (about 10-14 days of growth) to adhere correctly to the wax. I normally tell my clients, long as a grain of rice 🍚 3. Please, Resist the urge to shave between sessions. 4. Gently exfoliate the night before. You can purchase any of our beauty polishes to exfoliate with. 5. Arrive early for a glass of complimentary wine 🍷 as we want you as comfortable as possible!

Beyond simply accommodating our needs, good design has the capacity to nurture and sustain. In fact, emerging evidence shows that by integrating the beauty of nature and art into interior environments, we as architects and designers even wield the power to heal. #healthcare #design #retaildesign #conferenceroom #vahospital #iwojima #skylight #retailwindows #hospitalitydesign #medicalaesthetics #heal #art #ledskylights #skyceiling #healthcarefacilities #architecture (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcPu6CDL2k/?igshid=1tk10u4zgk70h
