A variety of upgrades qualify, including insulation/weatherization, windows, HVAC, and new renewable equipment including solar PV/thermal/heating systems. The study found that the EMC 2 tools improved demonstrated safe dosing, but these benefits did not translate into actual use based on medication dairies. Through a partnership with the GEMC credit union, Walton EMC customers may be eligible for special financing to fund energy efficiency improvement projects and equipment. Medication knowledge, measured by a 10-point composite knowledge score, was greater in the EMC 2 + SMS group (β = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.09 to 1.06) than usual care. Neither intervention arm improved medication safe use as measured by medication diary data. Demonstrated safe opioid use occurred more often in the EMC 2 group (adjusted odds ratio = 2.46, 95% confidence interval = 1.19 to 5.06), but not the EMC 2 + SMS group (aOR = 1.87, 95% CI = 0.90 to 3.90) compared with usual care. Secondary outcomes including patient knowledge and actual safe use (via medication diaries) were assessed 2 to 4 days and 1 month following enrollment.Īmong the 652 enrolled, 343 completed follow-up (57% women mean ± SD age = 42 ± 14.0 years).

Follow-up at 1 to 2 weeks assessed 'demonstrated safe use' (primary outcome). Patients in the EMC 2 + SMS arm additionally received one text message/day for 1 week. 650,000 Walton EMC Crews Restore Power to Louisiana After Hurricane Ida The four-story, 650,000-square-foot warehouse is Amazon’s largest facility in the metro Atlanta area. The ED EMC 2 intervention triggered two patient-facing educational tools (MedSheet, literacy-appropriate prescription wording ) and three provider-facing reminders to counsel (directed to ED physician, dispensing pharmacist, follow-up physician). Consecutive discharged patients at an urban academic ED (>88,000 visits) with new hydrocodone-acetaminophen prescriptions received one of three care pathways: 1) usual care, 2) EMC 2 intervention, or 3) EMC 2 + short message service (SMS) text messaging.

#Walton emc trial#

This was a three-arm prospective, randomized controlled pragmatic trial with randomization occurring at the physician level.

The study objective was to evaluate the effect of an Electronic Medication Complete Communication (EMC 2 ) Opioid Strategy on patients' safe use of opioids and knowledge about opioids. The money distributed – over $2 million since the program began just six years ago – is comprised of unclaimed monies from former customers.Despite increased focus on opioid prescribing, little is known about the influence of prescription opioid medication information given to patients in the emergency department (ED). Walton EMC’s School Empowerment Grant program gives schools in nearby communities the chance to boost their instructional and service programs by funding worthwhile projects.

Chandler is also a Prince parent, and her children, 3rd-grader Rhett and 4th-grader Berkly helped with the presentation. The grant was presented to Prince Media Specialist Danny Delgado, Media Assistant Karla Wooten, and Lower School Principal Becky Callaway by Kathy Ivie, Walton EMC Youth and Community Specialist, and Savannah Chandler, Walton EMC Communications Coordinator. This “Think-Tank” room will host weekly library sessions with lower school classes, feature special guests presentations, exhibit useful technological tools, house breakout meetings for students and staff, and provide a makerspace for classes and clubs. This grant will provide funding to create an interactive learning space in the PACS Media Center. The Prince Avenue Christian School Media Center was recently awarded the Walton EMC School Empowerment Grant.
