EXPERT ALERTS:

Using EHR/EMR Data to Improve Physician-Nurse Communications, Patient Safety
Stephanie Alexander
CEO
PeraHealth
"Care providers today are inundated with data, but many lack the resources to translate that data into meaningful information. What they need is a solution that makes patient data actionable to facilitate conversations about the right place and time to treat a patient."
Alexander is a 30-year healthcare industry veteran who founded and grew the IT division of Premier, Inc. from $1 million to $100 million in revenue. She is available to discuss how to take data stored in a hospital's electronic health/medical record (EHR/EMR) and make it meaningful to improve physician-nurse communications, patient safety.

Will You Live to Become the Next World's Oldest Person? Only Time and DNA Will Tell
Dr. Mitchell Gaynor
Assistant Attending Physician
New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center
"Healthy eating and exercise might help most people live to a respectable old age, but making it to 95 or 100 might require help from your DNA, a new study finds. Genetic makeup explains an increasingly greater portion of the variation in how old people live to be, especially for people approaching or exceeding the one-century mark."
Dr. Gaynor is an assistant attending physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center and clinical assistant professor of medicine at Weill Medical College. He is also founder of Gaynor Integrative Oncology, and the author of the soon-to-be-released book, "Gene Therapy Plan." He is a regular on TV and radio all over the country.

Same-Sex Couples Need Supreme Resolution
Michelle May O'Neil
Family Law Attorney
Godwin Lewis PC in Dallas
On April 28, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on same-sex marriage, heralding the possible resolution of one of the nation's thorniest legal questions. Same-sex couples in states such as Texas that don't recognize their marriage desperately need a decision from the high court, one way or the other. Says O'Neil: "As it stands now, same-sex couples can be considered married for purposes of federal law, but states such as Texas won't recognize the marriage. This creates confusion for people in designating beneficiaries in federal and state retirement benefits, for example. For federal income tax purposes, a same-sex couple may be married and file joint taxes, but be unable to divorce in Texas and dissolve their union, causing them to potentially commit tax fraud when their relationship ends. Only by national recognition of same-sex marriages will this problem be fixed."

Why Are So Many Female Teachers Sexually Abusing Students?
Joelle Casteix
Author
"Female public school educators did not just recently decide to sexually abuse students. Predatory female teachers have been abusing children for decades -- and causing horrible damage to vulnerable students. The only difference is that now our society and law enforcement are taking notice and prosecuting crimes. Our 'Hot for Teacher' excuses destroyed generations of children."
Casteix is the author of the upcoming book, "The Well-Armored Child: A Parent's Guide to Preventing Child Sexual Abuse" (due September 2015 from River Grove Books). She is also the author of "The Compassionate Response: How to Help and Empower the Adult Survivor of Child Sexual Abuse." She has a deep understanding of predatory behaviors, how victims are profiled, and why society is finally punishing female predators. She can also comment on the sex abuse and cover-up scandals in the Catholic Church, Boy Scouts, and public schools.
