College leads state in signing up providers for electronic health records
OU-HCOM and the Appalachian Health Information Exchange Regional
Extension Center became the first in Ohio to sign up 100 percent of its target
goal of 404 primary care providers who will receive assistance in implementing
electronic health records. As a result, the college and the extension center
received an additional $450,000 to provide services for an additional 100
primary care providers in southeastern Ohio.
“The
providers who receive the assistance – most of whom are all in small, private
practices -- do not have the time or money to research various vendors, options
and systems,” said
Brian Phillips, chief of medical
informatics.
Phillips noted that AHIE, whose members include every major hospital and
hospital system in the region, has been a pioneer in working towards development
and implementation of electronic health records.

OU-HCOM, O’Bleness create new diabetes partnership
O’Bleness Memorial Hospital and OU-HCOM formed a new fellowship program that
will train primary care physicians to meet the growing diabetes epidemic in
Ohio.
Through the Diabetes Fellowship Program, physicians will receive the
comprehensive training necessary to address the diverse treatment needs of
diabetic patients, especially in southeastern Ohio.
O’Bleness Memorial Hospital has pledged $265,457 to OU-HCOM during the
next five years to support the collaborative training. OU-HCOM will provide
matching funding and other resources, including facilities in the college’s new
Osteopathic Heritage Foundations and Charles R. and Marilyn Y. Stuckey Academic
and Research Center (ARC). The college also will provide faculty benefits,
including liability insurance and other research support.
Richa Redhu Gehlaut, M.D.,
diabetes fellow, started earlier this summer as the first fellow in the newly
expanded program. To read more, go to

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Faculty Development Tidbit:
Instructional Strategy to Engage Learners, “Exit Slips”
Purpose:
To engage students in summarizing their learning
Description:
Using this strategy, students will synthesize learned information, skills, and
processes by writing an Exit Slip. An Exit Slip can be a One Sentence Summary of
what students learned or can be used in a variety of other ways. Other uses are:
to answer a review question, to pose a question related to the topic studied, to
make a short list of facts learned, to set a learning goal for the next day,
etc.
Procedure:
Hint: Exit Slips are a great way to assess your own teaching. They will often
indicate whether or not students understood the presented material. When used to
pose a question, they can provide discussion questions for the next day's
lesson.
NOTE FROM STEVE:
Fight for feedback…you are responsible for your teaching/facilitating their
learning…do you know how you’re doing?
Find more tips at
your OU-COM & CORE faculty development web resources:
www.oucom.ohiou.edu/fd/programs.htm or www.ohiocore.org/cf/index.htm.
If you have a great strategy that seems to always work, please send it
to me, and I’ll include it in a future Faculty Development Tidbit. Tidbits
