Growing evidence suggests that sleep plays an important role in the process of procedural learning. Most recently, has been implicated continued development motor-skill learning following initial acquisition. However, temporal evolution motor before and after sleep, effects different training regimens, long-term across multiple nights remain unknown. Here, we report data for subjects trained retested on a sequential finger-tapping task days. The findings demonstrate firstly training, small...

Over 30 000 clinicians have already qualified to receive initial incentive payments for the meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs) through Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) EHR Incentive Programs. However, 2012 is final year maximum payments, and many physicians still questions regarding objectives how register for, report, attest use.

Background: Most existing tools for measuring the quality of Internet health information focus almost exclusively on structural criteria or other proxies rather than evaluating actual accuracy and comprehensiveness.

Provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act authorize incentive payments to hospitals clinicians who become “meaningful users” health information technology (IT). We argue that various private-sector entities—commercial payers, employers, consumer groups, care ratings organizations, large provider regulatory bodies—can further accelerate IT adoption by implementing strategies are complementary Medicare Medicaid programs. This paper describes these potential approaches implementation.

Despite growing research demonstrating the potential for shared decision making (SDM) to improve health outcomes, patient preferences—including financial trade-offs—are still not routinely incorporated into care making. As US delivery system transitions rewarding value-based care, question of "value whom?" assumes greater importance. To achieve goals voice must be clinical by embedding SDM as a routine part practice. Identified priority Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), SDM-related...

Successful resuscitation of patients who develop cardiac arrest in the operating room has become almost commonplace current medical practice. Many hospitals train their personnel necessary emergency principles and techniques treating this complication. Theoretically it is possible to resuscitate outside if proper conditions prevail. Since cerebral cortex can withstand only three four minutes anoxia before irreversible damage occurs, primary condition for successful treatment must be that...

However, sustainability full impact CBPAR care settings faces many obstacles limitations. The present article examines synergies between Clubhouse programs, presents demonstration ongoing implementation sustainable at Fountain House New York City, offers lessons learned for other Clubhouses similar programs seeking to integrate CBPAR.
