A new service piloted at Penn Medicine allowed a proportion of patients to avoid hospitalization by providing them with greater support after visiting the emergency department. The vast majority of the patients enrolled in the service - nearly 9 out of 10 - did not need to return to the hospital for care in the month that followed their initial visit. The study was published in
Healthcare. The culture is shifting where we realize that hospitalization is not always the best option for patients - particularly patients with chronic illness, said one of the study s lead authors, Austin Kilaru, MD, an emergency physician at Penn Medicine. We need to find better ways of helping patients not just get healthy in a hospital, but stay healthy at home - whenever they are ready to be there.
Shauna O Keeffe, a third-year student from Castleisland Community College, is hoping to win her second national title in as many years in the National Sophia Physics Competition.
Shauna was part of a group that won the Junior category last year, and this year she undertook her own research and entered the competition again.
She has now been short-listed as a finalist. Five different transition-year groups have also been short-listed as finalists in their categories.
Shauna s project is a study about electrostatics in bees and how they interact with flowers in nature.
Bees are among the earth s hardest-working creatures and are one of the most important plant pollinators.
