Society for Participatory Medicine Names Barbara Kornblau as its First Executive Director
BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - Jan 29, 2013) - Modernizing Medicine, the creator of the Electronic Medical Assistant (EMA), a cloud-based specialty-specific EMR application, announced today that in 2012 the company launched into a new market and scaled massively in existing markets, winning the business of numerous physician practices. The company also entered into agreements with several key vendors, increased its staff to triple digits and secured its largest round of funding to date.
New Products and Gain in Market ShareIn October, Modernizing Medicine launched EMA Plastic Surgery at the American Society of Plastic Surgery's annual conference in New Orleans. The adoption rate of the already launched user-friendly and adaptive EMA Dermatology, EMA Ophthalmology and EMA Optometry grew by over 1000%, bringing the total number of providers using EMA to over 2,000.
Modernizing Medicine won the business of numerous large physician practices, including the Beatrice Keller Clinic, a full service dermatology clinic in Arizona with three offices and 17 physicians.States Dan A. Nelson MD, Medical Director, Beatrice Keller Clinic: "We researched a number of products and chose EMA due to the ease of use, speed and quality of the medical records produced.I would say that EMA is far more Derm specific with better Derm content, a workflow that fits Derm practice better and superior graphics and photo capabilities.EMAs competitors are less interesting for exactly the inverse reasons -- the workflow is designed for more general medicine with less specificity for Derm and inferior graphics and photo capabilities."
Strategic Agreements and EndorsementModernizing Medicine entered into agreements with several key vendors that have added tremendous value to EMA's users. Based on Modernizing Medicine's agreement with Logical Images, EMA Dermatology users now have the option to access Logical Images' VisualDx technology, which is a comprehensive digital image library with nearly 90,000 images representing all ages and skin types. Modernizing Medicine's agreement with Sonomed Escalon will provide EMA Ophthalmology users with the option to use AXIS image management software.
Modernizing Medicine also received an endorsement from the Inga Ellzey Practice Group, the leader in dermatology coding and billing.
Corporate Growth and Looking ForwardModernizing Medicine added 62 employees to its team in 2012, bringing the company total to 110 employees. Modernizing Medicine moved its headquarters from Boynton Beach, Florida to a larger office at the Research Park on the Florida Atlantic University campus in Boca Raton, Florida.
In 2012, Modernizing Medicine announced that it had closed a $12 million dollar capital raise, with a combination of equity capital and a senior debt bank facility, that was led by Pentland Group plc and joined by many of the company's own customers.
"What a year! I am thrilled with Modernizing Medicine's incredible growth in 2012 and could not be more proud of our amazing team," said Modernizing Medicine, co-Founder, President and CEO, Dan Cane. "From new product launches and key partnerships to unbelievable sales numbers and a strong funding round, we've done a lot this year.We are looking forward to a promising 2013 with the launch of EMA Cosmetic, EMA Orthopedics and EMA Otolaryngology."

OGDEN A 15-year-old Ogden teen is just two years away from attending medical school.
Jessica Brooke said she only has a few more semesters until she gets her degree.
Ive always enjoyed school, Jessica said. Ive never hated going to school.
Jessica started college when she was 12 years old, and she already has two associate degrees. Shes the youngest student at Weber State University, and she came to campus with a 4.0 GPA.
It was hard for me to go from having a whole year to learn a concept to like three to four months, Jessica said.
She said it didnt take long to adjust. Shes taking classes like chemistry and calculus, ones that make other college students cringe.
A lot of students have a hard time and have to work really hard to be successful in this class, said general chemistry professor Tim Herzog, who teaches Jessica in the subject. Its really fun to see somebody who is 15 years old and doing that great.
She may be the youngest student on campus, and she has to be driven to school by her mom, but Jessica said she doesnt feel singled out.
They dont treat me any differently when they find out or anything, which I love, Jessica said. You know, I dont want to be babied, or think that I cant do anything.
She said math has always been easy for her, and her family has always been very supportive of her early college career.

Alpert Medical School of Brown University is introducing a program meant to teach primary care doctors to think beyond the care of individual patients. The school is planning a dual degree program, to begin in 2015, in which doctors in training can earn a masters degree in population health.
The program will enroll 24 people per class who plan to work in primary care, and the curriculum will include disease prevention and the needs of certain patient groups, such as newborns and new mothers or the elderly, said Dr. Edward Wing, dean of medicine and biological sciences. It will emphasize teamwork across medical disciplines and cover new health care delivery models, such as patient-centered medical homes.
Primary care doctors are playing a central role in the planned overhaul of the US health care system and coordinating patient care across many specialties. They also are under pressure to address factors affecting the overall health of the communities they serve and to provide more preventive care.
For example, Wing said, primary care physicians need to look at the individual and the systemic causes of obesity among their patients. How do you actually address that? he said. The medical system simply hasnt done it very well.
As health care changes fast, those who train medical professionals are pushing to keep up. Many are tweaking programs and introducing new ones to help health care leaders to be as prepared as possible for the changes.
Dartmouth College this month graduated the first class from its masters program in Health Care Delivery Science, a partial distance learning program that combines class time and hands-on projects meant for people already in leadership positions in health care. David Sell of The Philadelphia Inquirer described the program this way when it got started in 2011:
We were trying to attract a student body that was in the real world, said Al Mulley, director of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Care Delivery Science, who has spent 30-plus years as a doctor and teacher in Boston hospitals and at Harvard. We werent sure we wanted people who could afford to take two years off or whose organizations could afford to send them away for two years. Our argument to CEOs was that this really will be unique.
Wing said the Brown program may be the first of its kind in the country to integrate population health into a four-year medical school in this way. The program will include a clerkship program modeled after one that was piloted by Cambridge Health Alliance, in which students work with a primary care physician to follow a group of patients with varied needs over time. In a traditional model, students instead rotate among specialties, such as obstetrics, surgery, and pediatrics.
We really have to reimagine our medical education, he said.

The Liberty University Quiz Bowl team took home its seventh Big South Conference championship in eight years Saturday at Gardner-Webb University, going undefeated for the third-straight year.
(PRWEB) January 29, 2013
The team posted a 6-0 record in the competition, which is part of the conferences Academic Consortium, designed to develop institutional relationships outside of athletics.
One of the best single parts of the tournament was hearing a toss-up question devoted to the founder of the Moral Majority and our team knowing instantly that it was our founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., said Dr. Jim Nutter, Libertys coach.
This years team is comprised of senior Jake Rogers (captain), sophomore Kaity Shondelmyer; and first-year players Doug Stephens, Jon Bateman, and Greta Hanks.
The team heads to the National Academic Quiz Tournament Sectionals at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville on Feb. 9 to compete against schools from the ACC and SEC, including Vanderbilt, University of North Carolina, University of Alabama, and Virginia Tech.
Quiz Bowl, often called the varsity sport of the mind, is part of Libertys rigorous Honors Program. It includes players from a variety of majors; several members are National Merit Finalists on full academic scholarships. Competitions resemble Jeopardy, with teams buzzing in to answer questions on literature, history, geography, government, the sciences, math, art, popular culture, and sports.
"We have done our best to follow Dr. Falwell's motto, 'If it's Christian, it should be better', and we are continuing to demonstrate to the world that a Christian worldview and academic excellence are not mutually exclusive, Stephens said. For the freshmen members of the Big South team, this win has given us a new confidence as we prepare to travel to the regional championships. For me, this win means that I have been using my God-given skills to my utmost.

Liberty University Quiz Bowl Team Wins Conference Championship
Liberty Ross was reportedly unhappy in her marriage long before husband Rupert Sanders cheated on her with Kristen Stewart.
The model-and-actress filed for divorce from the director six months after pictures were published showing him kissing the Twilight star.
A source told Us Weekly magazine that Liberty, 34, found it difficult to uproot her life in the UK for Hollywood.
"She wasn't very happy, even before all this happened," the source revealed.
"Rupert put a lot of pressure on her to change her life for him and they moved to L.A. for him. She was such a big deal in England - a bigger deal than him even."
Liberty married Rupert back in 2002 and they have a daughter Skyla, seven, and five-year-old son Tennyson together.
She even gave a hint of her unhappiness to You magazine prior to the scandal.
"I went from the glamour of working with Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano to living on an isolated hilltop, with my husband gone most of the time," she said.
"I romanticised domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge for the first time. But moving here and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated."
Despite the upheaval, the couple did love each other, according to the source, but Libertys anger over her husbands tryst with Kristen was too much and they mutually decided to split.

Liberty Ross reportedly filed for divorce as she realised she couldnt get over the public embarrassment Rupert Sanders inflicted on her.
British film director Rupert, 42, had an affair with Kristen Stewart, 22, last year, after they met on the set of Snow White and the Huntsman.
Although Liberty tried hard to work on her marriage and even attended counselling, last week she filed for divorce. Its been claimed the model finally realised she couldnt move past the betrayal.
For the sake of her own happiness, she had to finally go through with the divorce, an insider told RadarOnline.com.
No matter how hard she tried, she just couldnt forgive Rupert for cheating on her with Kristen especially since it was something that caused such public embarrassment. The images of Rupert and Kristen together making out were out there for everyone to see. Liberty just couldnt get those pictures out of her head.
Liberty and Rupert have two children together, which apparently made her decision even tougher.
Although she found the thought of disrupting the kids lives difficult, the star apparently realised she needs to move on after months of painful soul searching.
The model filed documents to end her marriage on Friday and requested joint custody of her children with Rupert. She also asked for spousal support, while Rupert lodged papers on the same day and also asked for joint custody.
When the pictures of Kristen and Rupert together were leaked, the actress released a statement apologising to her boyfriend and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.
The young couple were thought to have worked through their issues and united to promote the final instalment of the vampire franchise Breaking Dawn Part 2 at the end of last year.

Liberty Ross
Liberty Ross tried everything she could to save her marriage to Rupert Sanders.
The British model and actress - who filed divorce papers on Friday (25.01.13) at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, asking for spousal support and joint custody of their children Sykla, seven, and Tennyson, five - was desperate to get their 10-year relationship back on track after his affair with Kristen Stewart but was haunted by the images of them together.
A source close to the 34-year-old star told gossip website RadarOnline.com: 'For the sake of her own happiness, she had to finally go through with the divorce. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't forgive Rupert for cheating on her with Kristen - especially since it was something that caused such public embarrassment.
'The images of Rupert and Kristen together making out were out there for everyone to see. Liberty just couldn't get those pictures out of her head. She truly tried everything, even counselling, because she was desperate to make it work for the sake of Skyla and Tennyson.
'But after months and months of painful soul searching she decided it was in the best interests to end her misery and make a fresh start.'
Liberty and the 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director's marriage has been under strain ever since his fling with the movie's star Kristen Stewart was exposed last summer.
Although Liberty initially kicked the director out of their home after his infidelity was revealed, they began couples therapy in an attempt to save their marriage.

Call it the straw that broke the camel's back. Six months after her husband Rupert Sanders was caught cheating with Kristen Stewart, Liberty Ross decided to file divorce. But a source tells Us Weekly that the British model, 34, had been unhappy in her ten year marriage long before the headline-making fling.
"She wasn't very happy, even before all this happened," the source tells Us. "Rupert put a lot of pressure on her to change her life for him and they moved to L.A. for him. She was such a big deal in England -- a bigger deal than him even."
PHOTOS: Rupert and Kristen's fling
Ross, who was previously a top fashion model in London, opened up to YOU magazine in July 2012 about how "isolating" it felt to move to Hollywood with her husband and give up her career. "I went from the glamour of working with Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano to living on an isolated hilltop, with my husband gone most of the time," Ross said. "I romanticized domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge for the first time. But moving here and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated."
The Snow White and the Huntsman director married Ross in 2002 and they have daughter Skyla, 7, and son Tennyson, 5, together. "They did love each other," the source explains, "but I think she was so unhappy and he was putting himself first [that] it was taking its toll."
PHOTOS: Kristen and Rupert's road to infidelity
In exclusive Us Weekly photos, Sanders, 42, was caught making out with his Snow White and the Huntsman actress Stewart, 22, in mid-July. In the divorce papers filed Jan. 25, Ross asks for joint custody of their kids, spousal support and attorney's fees. Sanders is also seeking joint custody, but it not asking for spousal support.
PHOTOS: Stars caught cheating
"They gave it a shot for the kids, [but] she was just so angry," a second insider told Us of Sander's tryst with Stewart. "She's the kind of person who wouldn't really ever get over it."
But Sanders ultimately agreed with the decision to end their marriage after a decade together. A source said that "it was definitely mutual."

Libertarian Principles -- Too Radical?

Where American national security is compromised. But few realize the pure and simple principles behind liberty. Well here #39;s your chance to find out just how radical we are.

LIBERTY. It #39;s a simple idea, but it #39;s also the linchpin of a complex system of values and practices: justice, prosperity, responsibility, toleration, cooperation, and peace. Many people believe that liberty is the core political value of modern civilization itself, the one that gives substance and form to all the other values of social life. They #39;re called libertarians. From Libertarianism.org.
