FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR OF MEMBERSHIP

Happy New Year! I cannot believe we have already rolled into the first full week of 2020! In the SSH Membership Department, one of our New Year’s Resolutions is to make it easier for you to renew your SSH Membership. We know that your organizations’ firewalls often block the renewal notices from SSH and we have been working to find a better solution! We finally settled on a texting option that will allow you to receive membership renewal information you need to your mobile phone via text messaging.
In order to receive these texts you must OPT IN. We will not text you without your permission. Many of our 2020 IMSH registrants have already opted in for the texting. If you are not registered for IMSH, or you did not originally opt in, here is how you do it.
First: Go to SSH Website and log in. Click on “Welcome your name” in the upper right hand corner. Or, click on Membership and Engagement in the blue menu bar and then ‘My SSH’. Either of these two steps will take you to your SSH account. Then click on My Profile and select the Interest Groups tab. The very first choice will be Text Messages. Click the box below that says "Please send me text messages".
Second: Make sure that your cell phone number is included in your information. Just go to the Phones/Emails tab and add it if it is not already there.
Third: Be sure to hit Save at the bottom of this page.
At this time, we will only send you membership renewal notices. However, if we do have something urgent we would like to share with you, we may send that by text as well. We will try to keep it at a minimum, as we know you are inundated with emails, texts and social media notifications on a daily basis. Over the next several months, please let us know how you like receiving information from SSH by text. We would like to hear if you want more of it to come that way and, if so, what other information you would like by text.
Wishing you all a healthy and joyful 2020 ~ Kathryn
Producing better nurses with augmented reality
Yale News
Working with partners across campus, acute care Yale School of Nursing (YSN) student Travis McCann ’20 M.S.N. is pursuing two projects to help providers become better clinicians. His team has developed a visual and auditory hallucinations app that allows participants to better appreciate the challenges these patients face.

How AI is transforming health care
Web MD
Matthew Might’s son Bertrand was born with a devastating, ultra-rare genetic disorder. Now 12, Bertrand has vibrant eyes, a quick smile, and a love of dolphins. But he nearly died last spring from a runaway infection. He can’t sit up on his own anymore, and he struggles to use his hands to play with toys. Puberty will likely wreak more havoc. Might, who has a Ph.D. in computer science, has been able to use his professional expertise to change the trajectory of his son’s life.

To improve healthcare, we need to improve professional competencies on quality
Modern Healthcare
Stephanie Mercado writes "I entered the healthcare industry in 2002, not long after the landmark quality report To Err is Human was published. During a presentation at the first educational conference I attended, airline captains, the alphas in the cockpit, explained to surgeons, the alphas in the operating room, that it was OK for someone to speak up about an imminent medical error."

These St. Louis scientists are shaking human brains to study head trauma
St. Louis Public Radio
Philip Bayly has spent years trying to figure out the best way to jiggle a brain. The mechanical engineer is part of a team of researchers at Washington University studying how a jolt to the head can shake the brain — the kind of injury a football player suffers when crashing into an opponent.

Gaza nurses train in Israel: 'We speak of health, not politics'
The Jerusalem Post
Five nurses from the Gaza Strip and 11 from the West Bank were in Israel for four days of medical training, conducted by Israeli physicians through a collaboration between Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHR) and the Medical Simulation Center (MSR) at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer. “I could not imagine how this country would be or how it works,” Akram Abu Salah, a nurse from the Gaza Strip told The Jerusalem Post in his heavily-accented English.

Wearable healthcare technology is advancing precision medicine
Now.
In the U.S., annual healthcare waste — from failure of care delivery to overtreatment — ranged from $760 to $935 billion, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. But wearable healthcare technology is poised to overturn these trends. New laws that allow doctors to embrace innovations in wearable diagnostic and assistive devices could help usher in a new era precision medicine that reduces medical costs and saves thousands of lives.

Surgical Science
One of the ongoing discussions in medical education addresses whether practicing a procedure on a simulator can translate to improved patient outcomes. We know that simulation resources are used to hone healthcare team performance. Institutions have also documented the value of simulation training in providing learners with a risk-free environment where they can practice surgical techniques. Now, a recent University of Michigan study directly addressed the link between simulation and patient outcomes. Their study proves the hypothesis true: regular simulation training can measurably improve patient outcomes.

Training program empowers Kentuckians to take control of their health
University of Kentucky News
When Jean Edward, Ph.D., assistant professor in the University of Kentucky College of Nursing, first started her research into disparities in health care access in the Hispanic and Latino population in Louisville, Kentucky, she was looking into not only how people accessed health care, but why some people had access while others didn’t.

Incorporating the reflective pause in simulation: A practical guide
Healio
Many articles exist today espousing the value of debriefing following a simulation or gaming event. Although debriefing, a reflection-on-action strategy, is important, a useful reflection strategy may accentuate the reflection-in-action process that is arguably even more important than the debriefing.

Health tech is transforming care and setting new expectations — are you up to speed?
Med City News
While technologies that impede, rather than enhance care, have made the healthcare industry somewhat skeptical of innovation, a shift toward patient-centric care is changing the game. Healthtech innovations in 2019 are helping to transform the business of care, creating efficiencies, cutting costs, and providing better outcomes.
