Vision Statement: Our patients deserve the best continuity of care possible. With that said, our nurses should effectively communicate patient information with our physicians in order to ensure the best treatment for acute condition changes in order to prevent hospital readmissions.

This presentation explains the role of skilled nursing facilities in the reduction of hospital readmissions.

"In attempts to reduce nosocomial infections, the focus of PPE is shifted to include patient protection.

This innovation project will help lead the healthcare organization to better health deliver and better service because it will prevent transmission of nosocomial infections between patients via hospital staff. Patients with HAI’s tend to have a longer duration hospital stay as well as more costs. Likewise, current healthcare reform restricts reimbursements for treatments associated with nosocomial infections. By minimizing these costly infections, the healthcare organization will be able to realize a greater profit."

Spring 2019 Course: Curating Stories and Science in Northern Arizona (taught by Daniel Collins)

In the seminar Curating Stories and Science in Northern Arizona, students worked individually and collectively to create a “research compendium” inspired by James Turrell’s Roden Crater. Marked by the intersection of science and art, our discussions included experts from astrophysics, literature, sacred architecture, natural history, cultural geography, Native American studies, perceptual psychology, phenomenology, archaeology, and fine art.  Students generated a rich collection of works representing many disciplines and methodological approaches.  Roden Crater has become a launching pad for our own embodied experience of place—from the microscopic features of the Arizona landscape to interstellar space.

Spring 2019 Course: Approaches, to Light (Taught by Edward Finn)

Approaches to Light traced the fundamental questions of James Turrell’s work to their origins in philosophy, literature, physics, and art. By engaging with light as a medium for human imagination, we explored the ways in which we make meaning from the physical universe and the aesthetic frames we impose on it. Students created their own artistic expressions of light, landscape, and imagination in the form of physical artifacts, audiovisual experiences, and other vessels of meaning that responded to the work of Turrell and Roden Crater.
