EMR vs. EHR – What is the Difference?: EMR vs. EHR – What is the Difference?
Posted by Matthew Smith on Tue, Jan 14, 2014 @ 12:21 PM
What’s in a word? Or, even one letter of an acronym?
Some people use the terms “electronic medical record” and “electronic health record” (or “EMR” and “EHR”) interchangeably. But at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), you’ll notice they use electronic health record or EHR almost exclusively. While it may seem a little picky at first, the difference between the two terms is actually quite significant.The EMR term came along first, and indeed, early EMRs were “medical.” They were for use by clinicians mostly for diagnosis and treatment.
In contrast, “health” relates to “The condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit; especially…freedom from physical disease or pain…the general condition of the body.” The word “health” covers a lot more territory than the word “medical.” And EHRs go a lot further than EMRs.

Assisted living: compassionate, competent care
The positive, everyday experiences taking place in thousands of senior communities across this country are the reality of Assisted Living. Like Marion, countless seniors and their families breathe a sigh of relief daily knowing they are well taken care of, safe, and living as independently as possible. Their caregivers are dedicated professionals who go the extra mile to make life more comfortable and easier to manage. While the truth about Assisted Living is not likely to be the focus of overblown media hype, it has taken hold. 94% of residents like what they have experienced and 99% feel safe. This is a model that works and preserves dignity and independence for our seniors.
Sally Michael is the president of the California Assisted Living Association, which represents over 460 Assisted Living communities in the state. Members range from providers that cater to an active lifestyle to those that specialize in caring for residents with memory impairment.

How to Message LinkedIn Group Members | @StacyZapar's Blog
How to Message LinkedIn Group Members | @StacyZapar's Blog
You used to be able to message fellow group members via a link right on their profile. That went away many years ago and it's now much more convoluted and you really have to know what you’re doing to figure it out. It’s not intuitive in the least (in my opinion) and it even took me a while to find the feature after this latest change to the functionality and user interface. (Note: This could be a sign that the feature is in the process of being phased out… Much easier to do away with something that no one could find recently anyway.)
Stacy Donovan Zapar is a 16-year recruiting veteran for Fortune 500 tech companies and CEO of Tenfold Social Training, a B2B Social Recruiting training company for talent acquisition and staffing teams around the world.

Medicare to Cover More Mental Health Costs - NYTimes.com
Medicare to Cover More Mental Health Costs - NYTimes.com: The Medicare change follows new regulations issued last month by the administration for the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, which expanded the principle of equal treatment for psychological illnesses to all forms health insurance. But that law does not apply to Medicare.
“Hopefully, older adults who previously were unable to afford to see a therapist will now be more likely to do so,” said Andrea Callow, a policy lawyer with the Center for Medicare Advocacy.

Jeromy Meyer Community Liaison at Raya's Paradise Board & Care and CARE Homecare - West Hollywood
I wanted to share some news about the new law regarding caregiver overtime. As you are well aware I'm sure, on January 1, 2014 the state of California will be requiring ALL licensed, insured & bonded in-home caregiver/companion providers to pay Caregivers overtime. As a provider also of Caregivers in the home, Raya's Paradise/CARE Homecare have come up with a way to fairly accommodate those clients and families who's rates will become impossible to maintain.

Caregiver Daily Log
Caregiver Daily Log
If you've hired your caregiver privately, unless you provide an easy-to-use form the chances that your caregiver will consistently make note of what you need and want to know is slim. Some families ask their caregivers to record notes in a loose-leaf or spiral notebook, but without guidance about what to record, these notes tend to become shorter and shorter as time goes by.
The Caregiver Daily Log form is available for you to download and use. Remember to save it to your computer in a place you can remember. Print one two-sided sheet per caregiver per day. The easiest way to keep them organized for your caregiver(s) is to use a three-hole punch and keep them in a three-ring binder.
