Whenever software friends visit Adaptive , I make a point of showing them a multichannel pipette. It’s actually a pretty cool piece of technology, but from a design perspective it just feels wrong. Like, if one pipette is good, then a ton of them must be even better, right? Maybe not. At some point, incrementing old solutions isn’t enough.

By Sarah Natoli. As telehealth becomes more commonplace, consumers need a way to judge the quality of care offered by a company or hospital via this relatively new care delivery system. The American Telemedicine Association (ATA) offers just that through its accreditation program for online patient consultation. Earning this accreditation is a testament to a company or hospital’s ongoing commitment to patient choice, high-quality care, and cutting edge technology.

If a good time existed to have Type 1 diabetes, this would be it. In 2015, Type 1 treatments that once seemed far-fetched have taken major steps forward. We’ve seen continued commercialization of pump technology based on artificial pancreas algorithms, good news on the future of stem cell treatments and beta cell transplants, expansion in treatment options, and real competition among insulin manufacturers.

A key element to achieving effective collaboration is through the implementation of a clinical communication and collaboration platform. In a fast-paced, high-stress and critical environment, people tend to do whatever gets the job done. Therefore will scramble and use the systems, people, or processes around them to get an outcome more quickly - which can often be at the expense of quality.

Their ordeal began when Owen Pollard was denied admission to a neighborhood kindergarten and a private school on the basis that he had Type 1 diabetes. A third school, which did not employ a staff nurse, admitted the child and his twin brother, but then did an about-face, saying that the safety of all students in the school dictated that it decline to offer in-school diabetes care.

The bill was partly in response to the 2014 death of an Ohio man with diabetes, Kevin Houdeshell, and was championed by his family.

Unfortunately, access to diabetes care during the school day varies wildly from school district to school district, and from state to state. Less than two hours west of Portland, and across state lines, another child with Type 1 is struggling to find enough help during school hours.

When my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, she was five months away from starting kindergarten. Like all parents faced with Type 1, we were in a state of shock. At the time, I was scared to leave her with another adult, let alone send her to school by herself. A month after the diagnosis, I went to see the school principal. I figured she’d need time to arrange for additional staff to help manage my daughter’s diabetes during the school day.
