External board: Thumbs up on NCI progress

UKP clinic data moving to O2 patient records With this week’s O2 go-live in The University of Kansas Physician (UKP) clinics, O2 patient records will now include data from the wave 1 clinics. Starting April 12, physicians in the hospital are able to see patient data from UKP clinics: • Family Medicine and Geriatrics (Landon Center on Aging) • Internal Medicine (Metabolism, Endocrinology and Genetics, Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology) • Ear, Nose and Throat • Plastic Surgery • KU MedWest Pod C, Pain Management This go-live takes us another step closer to an optimal patient experience, building consistency in standards and roles across all UKP clinics. Super-users are in each clinic, offering O2 support.

The joys of work It’s hard to beat the giggles and smiles found at Neonatal ICU’s annual reunion – and that's just from the NICU staff. The April 9 reunion at the Francisco Lounge brought together approximately 200 former patients, their families and staff. Among them were Krishna Dummula, MD (above left), and Vishal Pandey, MD, enjoying former NICU babies Kooper Welch and Avery Olson, now healthy and active. Carrie Buckley, RN, and baby Harmony Preble were all smiles.

Google in KCK: Let the ‘laboratory’ begin Campus leaders see huge potential in Google’s plans to make Kansas City, Kan., the pilot for its superfast Internet service. Exactly what that potential is, no one knows for certain, not even Google. And that’s part of the excitement. In its March 30 announcement, the search-engine giant said its new broadband service will deliver the Internet at 1 gigabit per second, or “100 times faster

than what most Americans are used to.” To put 1 gig/second in perspective, consider this: KUMC’s Internet connection already is 1 gig/second through Kansas Research and Education Network (KanREN). On a typical day, the medical center uses about 18 percent of that availability. Its busiest Web traffic day ever rose to just 35 percent of capacity. And now Google wants to

put that same 1 gig pipeline into most homes and businesses throughout KCK? “I’m uncertain how that pipeline will be used,” said James Bingham, KUMC’s chief information officer. “But that’s Google’s whole point – build it and see how it’s used.” Others on campus are equally in awe of Google’s plans for our neighborhoods and how our campus continued on page 3

An external advisory board says The University of Kansas Cancer Center has made “remarkable growth” over the past year. The board fully endorsed the cancer center’s plan to apply for National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation in September. The review is a major milestone by scientific advisors from around the country familiar with NCI designation requirements. The external board delivered its positive evaluation last week after meeting with cancer center leadership in March. The external board pointed to 10 areas of strengths for the cancer center. Just two issues need to be addressed – recruit a division head in Hematology/Oncology, and focus grant application on nationally significant scientists and physicians. “We recognize we still have a lot of work to do during the next six months as we continue to polish our presentations and grant application while raising additional funding through our capital campaign,” said Roy Jensen, MD, cancer center director. “We are grateful for the board’s constructive advice in helping us prepare for the final steps in that process.” Details are on 24/7.

Radio drive brings in big donations for Peds

eXposure

Rocket and Teresa’s 13th annual Mix for Kids Radiothon raised nearly $390,000 for Children’s Miracle Network. The two-day radiothon is a major fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network. All of that group’s local funding is directed to KUMC Pediatrics. With more than 400,000 listeners, the radio show is one of the metro’s most popular morning programs. Over the course of 24 hours of air

time March 29-30, the radiothon showcased the courage, endurance and hope of local families and children assisted by Pediatrics. This radiothon’s total is down slightly from previous years, due primarily to the economy. However, because KUMC Pediatrics is now the sole beneficiary of Children’s Miracle Network locally, the net contribution to Pediatrics is dramatically higher.

“We are so grateful for the ongoing support we receive not only from Mix 93.3, but also from every physician, nurse and staff at KUMC,” said Lisa Mathewson, Children’s Miracle Network development manager. “Because of your help, the radiothon lets many of your patients and families share their stories,” she added.

Revelry in Rosedale KUMC staff and students celebrated their close ties to the Rosedale community last weekend. “A Rosedale Revolution” – the theme of this year’s KUMC Street Fair – featured plenty of family fun, including live music, games and prizes. Ashwin Ananth was one of many medical students providing free health screenings. This year’s street fair was held April 9 near the Kirmayer Fitness Center.

Juggler Bryar Wendling topped off the morning for one youngster.

Move into new KU Endowment building under way The first wave of employees will begin moving into the sparkling new KU Endowment facility this weekend. KU Endowment offices in the Support Services building will close operation noon Thursday, April 14, and reopen Monday, April 18, in the new facility’s third floor. Phone numbers, email and mailstop for those 17 employees remain the same. The three-story, 30,000square-foot facility is at 4125 Rainbow Blvd., just south of the Kirmayer Fitness Center. The other two floors will house KUMC staff; those details haven’t been released. Approximately 100 people total are expected to work there. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for 3 p.m. May 10, followed by a reception. The $6 million construction project took 18 months, including demolition of a former hotel building, which for the past 40 years had been used for campus offices.

Researchers investigating genomics and proteomics, which involve manipulating huge amounts of data, may be able to collaborate more with researchers at other medical centers. But really, they acknowledge it’s all just wonder at this point. “Think of how the transition from dial-up to broadband opened the doors to so much innovation.

Kansas Cancer Center. “It will be great for us to be the laboratory to see how this technology evolves.” Some key uncertainties remain, namely how much homeowners and businesses will pay for the Google service, expected to begin next year. Even so, medical center and hospital leaders are eager to be at the center of one of technology’s mostanticipated experiments. “We look forward to working with Google and local companies,” said Chris Hansen, the hospital’s chief information officer. “We want to help pioneer new and innovative ways to provide the highest quality medical services to the KCK community.”
