Webinar with Bloggers: New FDA Basics Web Resource

Source: FDA.gov

Do you and your readership have questions for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)?

The FDA is pleased to announce the availability of a new Web resource, FDA Basics, which answers your questions and discusses other important public health topics in a useful and user-friendly format.

The tool answers questions such as:

• How and where do I find out if a drug is approved for use?
• When can I be sure that it is okay to buy previously recalled foods when they are back on the shelf?
• How do I know if I’m eligible to donate blood?

On Tuesday, January 12, at 4 p.m. ET, the FDA will host a webinar for bloggers interested in health-related topics. The featured speaker, Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, Principal Deputy Commissioner of the FDA, will showcase the new tool, discuss opportunities for the public to submit questions to FDA, and outline FDA efforts to enhance transparency across the agency. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions or offer feedback.

To join:

The phone number, pass code, and Web address for the webinar will be posted here by 5 pm ET 1/11/10. If you RSVP to the fdadigital@fda.hhs.gov, then we will email you the webinar access information.

We will be using the Twitter hashtag #FDABasics if you’d like to tweet about or follow the webinar on Twitter.

This webinar is open to the first 100 attendees who sign in to the meeting URL, and the phone portion is currently only available for participants in the U.S. We apologize for any inconvenience.

APEX Family Medicine Joins Forces With Smile Reminder to Combat H1N1

By Utilizing Smile Reminder's Unique Communication Technology, APEX Family Medicine Alerts Patients of Vaccine Availability

Denver, CO - January 6, 2009 - The recent national H1N1 flu outbreak proved to be a true test of efficacy for the American healthcare system. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated 47 million people were infected with the H1N1 virus between the months of April 2009 and November 2009, placing heavy responsibility on community medical practices to ensure the H1N1 flu vaccine was efficiently and appropriately distributed. Faced with the challenge of distributing the H1N1 vaccine to high-risk patients in a timely manner, Denver-based APEX Family Medicine decided to leverage the technology behind patient messaging service Smile Reminder to ensure their patients received optimal care.

When the H1N1 pandemic was at its peak, APEX Family Medicine was treating up to fifteen H1N1 influenza cases daily. With the numbers on the rise, APEX Family Medicine needed an innovative solution to alert patients of the vaccine's availability in a controlled and cost effective manner. By joining forces with Smile Reminder, a service that allows medical practices to text message and e-mail patients to remind them of upcoming appointments, APEX Family Medicine was able to determine high risk H1N1 patients based on the CDC's criteria and use their Smile Reminder system to generate priority groups for efficient messaging about the availability of the vaccine.

"This innovative technology filled a critical need in a critical time," says Chloe Bailey, the APEX Family Medicine physician assistant who coordinated the messaging initiative. "Our patients are our top priority, and Smile Reminder helped us keep this focus during a time when so many needed our immediate care and attention. Our e-messaging campaign was well-received and proved to be a timely intervention for our highest-risk patients at APEX."

Smile Reminder allows practices to create specific patient messaging groups, which they can then send a customized email or text message to. Priority groups for the H1N1 vaccine were created within APEX's Smile Reminder account, which allowed them to deliver timely customized messages to these patients as soon as the vaccine had become available.

"Our ability to quickly communicate and administer the H1N1 vaccine to our highest-risk patients made all the difference in managing a controlled distribution. We are proud to report that we are rarely seeing cases of H1N1 in our patient population now and have had no deaths as a result of H1N1 virus in our practice," adds Bailey.

Smile Reminder allows offices to streamline their daily routine and strengthen doctor-patient relationships. The service also provides useful features such as automated text and email appointment reminders, personalized birthday greetings, electronic newsletters, post-appointment surveys and nearly every type of practice-to-patient e-communication. Smile Reminder messages can also be sent, on predefined schedules or at a moment's notice, to all patients or select patients using mobile and electronic devices - an important feature that helped APEX Family Medicine distribute vaccinations to their highest risk patients.

In an era of health policy reform and new technology utilization, APEX Family Medicine's use of Smile Reminder's system is an extraordinary example of a cost effective, secure and organized solution to prevent a public health disaster.
