Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. New innovations are helping patients connect with their health care providers, and helping those with disabilities connect with the world. In mid-February, the Endowment for Health-- an independent, nonprofit foundation in Concord-- released a report on implementing a statewide Tele-health Program in New Hampshire. Tele-health uses technologies to support long distance clinical care. The Endowment for Health says Tele-health will improve healthcare access and make the current healthcare system more efficient and effective for New Hampshire residents. There are already some examples of tele-health occurring in New Hampshire as Julie Donnelly details in this report -- first brought to us in 2004. |

The Endowment for Health reports that much can be learned about Telehealth from our neighbors. Maine Telemedicine Services has been around since 19-98. It is now one of the largest statewide telemedicine systems with a network of more than 200 facilities. |
| Intro Nursing Return to index of stories... |
The demand for nurses is an on-going problem in our health care system -- as veteran nurses retire faster than younger nurses graduate. New Hampshire is no exception! The nursing shortage is only expected to get worse as baby boomers age and retire. One obvious solution: train more nurses --but, that takes time. So, Hospitals and Universities are looking into more imaginative approaches to meet the "current" nursing demands. Just last year, the University of New Hampshire launched an accelerated masters program which puts students training to be nurses -- on the FAST TRACK. |

. businesses, geology, microbiology, graphic arts, kinesiology, so, its really a wide range of backgrounds that these students bring. nat snd: They'll use this space thru out their 2 ˝ years. Dorothy Rentschler has been teaching at UNH for 14 years. She Says its not just nurses in short supply -there's an even greater shortage of nurse educators. It's hoped direct entry students will help fill the gap. I had a bachelor's degree in business, a BS and a minor in personnel,. I was an outside sales rep. I'm a new grad from the undergrad program at Umass in business, but I studied 2 years in phys therapy before that and I was just looking to be in touch with the human side of things. Kara what about you? I have a bachelors degree in microbiology and I was working in Portsmouth for a pharmaceutical company doing QC work in the lab 1:30:26 The goal is to not only attract the Best and Brightest to the field of nursing - but keep them here in NH. A year ago 2003 we had 350 students graduate in the state only 100 of those 350 actually stayed in the state:51 Nearly all of the 21 direct entry students plan to practice in NH upon graduation -which can only help ! the problem with not having enuf nurses is that more patients will have poor outcomes. The mortality rates have been higher all over the nation in trying to deal with the nursing shortages. Units have closed. Treatments have not been provided because there haven't been any nurses to staff those places that patients needed treatment. Salaries are competitive. In NH -nurses working in a surgical setting can make anywhere from 25 to 50 dollars an hour. there's a lot of opportunity for nurses out there today too, which is definetly a draw Direct Entry Students come into the program better Educated and Highly Motivated. I think being in the lab I was really looking for that human interaction and being able to come home and say I really made a difference today, just feeling good about myself and what I was doing. I just think its exciting we have this type of program in our state…Because I was wanting to do accelerated program but I would have had to have gone to Maine or MA. Grant money from the state, and not having to start their education from scratch -- went a long way in getting these non-traditional students to take the plunge. It's not just a winning proposition for the students - Research shows a definite correlation between patient care-- and the level of a nurses education 1:15:50 -- we believe this program will truly make a difference in patient care because of knowledge base and experience these students bring. 1:16:00 Best of all -- the new program gets trained nurses into the community FASTER than the traditional 4 year program. the direct entry students come in with a lot of maturity and they've very impressive coming thru the door Melissa: 1:41:47 They are able to take the curriculum and role with it and the rigor of the program and go very fast with their education…and retain it and digest it.and then they can get out and practice as nurses which is going to help relieve some of the critical needs that we have in nursing right now, all over. nat snd up. |

February is American Heart month -- and suprisingly, many people don't realize that heart disease is the number one killer of women. It and other cardio-vascular diseases kill nearly 500-thousand women everyt year. That's more than the next 6 causes of death combined-- including all forms of cancer. Marge Hislop of Newington takes medication for cardiac disease. Fortunately, she discovered she had cardiac disease before it was too late. She shared her story with me in 2004. |
