Interesting article here about programs in Iceland centered around high risk behaviors of teens. Their solutions have worked exceptionally well for them. One of the lead authors is now working at WVU. Please take the time to read this and perhaps we can convince the researcher to visit us.…[Read more]

In today’s meeting we discussed the Maryland State Health improvement Process (SHIP) indicator about adolescent wellness visits.
The measure is defined this way:
This indicator reflects the percentage of adolescents (ages 13-20 years old) enrolled in Medicaid (320+ days) who received at least one well child visit during the past year.
You can…[Read more]
This workgroup has been expansive in ways to address many issues relating to adolescent wellness! I appreciate you sharing this background from the meeting. It is still so concerning that our county ranks so poorly in this area. I’m hopeful that all of the work being accomplished now will help us improve. Thank you for your continued leadership…[Read more]
Jennifer Corder uploaded the file: Power School Software health applications to Adolescent Well Child Checks 5 years, 11 months ago
Becky Aiken shared sample health related documents from Power School, the software used within GC Public Schools. I am uploading them so that we can become familiar with the kinds of health related data they are collecting, and to brainstorm other data points we would value if collected.

Cindy Mankamyer posted an update in the group Influenza Vaccine 5 years, 11 months ago

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just released a report stating that as of December 15, the nation is seeing more flu-like illness and, sadly, 7 pediatric deaths related to influenza so far this season. The pesty strain…[Read more]
Jennifer Corder posted an update in the group Vaccines for Adults and Children 5 years, 11 months ago
Hi Cindy, thanks for posting your vaccination data. I am wondering about your measures. Is each data point one patient that received one vaccine? I am guessing some patients are recipients of more than one vaccine at a visit. Is there a place to see the total number of vaccines, and which vaccines we are giving? And finally, I think about the…[Read more]
Hi Dr. Corder: The measurements you see each month here is counting the “number of persons vaccinated” by age group. It is a fact that one person may receive more than one vaccine at the time of visit, and we track that internally through our PatTrac database. As far as cost/value…the health department has always been a safety net of sorts…[Read more]
