| Health care quality message greets SAHP students |
| by Karen Burbach, UNMC public relations |
 New students in the School of Allied Health Professions show off their "I'm an Allied Healther" T-shirts. You may have noticed the red, “I’m an Allied Healther” T-shirts around campus recently.The shirts marked the start of a new school year for 164 students in the School of Allied Health Professions.
During the school’s recent orientation, students engaged in program specific activities and then gathered for a noontime luncheon on quality expectations with Glenn Fosdick, president and CEO of UNMC’s hospital partner, The Nebraska Medical Center. “Quality in health care will not go away,” Fosdick said. The Nebraska Medical Center, he said, fosters a culture focused on quality at all levels of the organization. To meet its goals, hospital leaders have adopted such programs as:
Fosdick challenged each allied health student to become a leader in best practices and systems that improve quality. Fosdick’s message dovetails with the SAHP’s goals, said Kyle Meyer, Ph.D., associate dean of the SAHP. “Our educational programs will provide you with the highest quality education and promote quality and safety,” Dr. Meyer said.

Emergency Phone for Telephone Failure
August 5th, 2009Most people on campus are probably unfamiliar with the backup system we have on campus to provide limited telephone service for emergency use if the regular telephone system fails. (At least, the folks with whom I spoke knew nothing about it.) So here’s the deal:
The full procedure and the locations of red emergency phones is listed in the campus phone directory on our intranet under general information / telecom; however, it has not been updated to reflect that we have one in Bennett Hall room 5005A which is the workroom in the Asssociate Dean’s suite. This phone is only functional when the regular system is down.
If you haven’t looked at the new online phone directory, be sure to check it out. Lots of great information, easy lookups, and terrific maps that even have pictures!
(Pictures are awesome.)
