Evidence-based public health nursing (EBPHN) is the process of developing,implementing, and evaluating policies and programs in an effort to positively impactthe health of a defined population. Evidence-based nursing can improve patientoutcomes; evidence-based public health nursing can improve the health of entirecommunities. This session will cover the basics of EBPHN and offer strategies fordealing with information overload using free resources available from the NationalLibrary of Medicine.

This presentation will discuss the County Health Rankings - reports prepared by theUniversity of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and funded by the Robert WoodJohnson Foundation that were released in each of the 50 states in February 2010. Thehealth of a community depends on many different factors, ranging from the quality ofhealth care, to individual behavior, to education and jobs, to the environment. Thissession will review how these different factors are included in the rankings process andhow the County Health Rankings can be used to stimulate action in communities toimprove health.

The HITECH Act of 2009 authorized a Health Information Technology ExtensionProgram which consists of Health Information Technology Regional Extension Centers(RECs) and a national Health Information Technology Research Center (HITRC).QSource was awarded grant funds to offer technical assistance, guidance, andinformation to support and accelerate health information technology adoption andworkforce development in Tennessee. QSource, under the trade name tnREC, willprovide support for electronic health record (EHR) adoption meaningful use of EHRsystems and support statewide efforts to advance HIT curriculum, certificationprograms and CME programs. Tennessee's health information technology workforcedevelopment activities will be coordinated through the tnREC's Education andTechnology Advisory Committee (ETAC) which will partner with universities,community colleges and technology centers to identify curricula-specific bestpractices currently in use by many of our institutions of higher learning. This sessionwill highlight the tnREC program and detail the efforts that are anticipated to promotethe meaningful use of EHRs.

The recent emergence of novel H1N1 influenza is a powerful wake-up call to thehealth challenges ahead, reminding us of the important roles prevention andpublic health preparedness play in mitigating the spread of disease. Stemming thespread of the H1N1 flu outbreak and effectively responding to emerging infectiousdiseases hinged upon three essential pillars of public health: 1) prevention andpreparation, 2) surveillance and detection, and 3) response and containment. Inthis session, public health experts from across the Southeastern U.S. will discusstheir states' efforts to prepare and respond to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.

The poster session has been an integral part of TPHA educational conferences formany years. This session will give an opportunity to several poster presenters fromacross the state of Tennessee and the Southeastern U.S. to highlight theirprograms and share their successful ideas with colleagues by presenting aresearch study, a practical problem-solving effort, or an innovative program.

Despite unprecedented success in the elimination and control of infectious diseasesthrough vaccination, practitioners now find themselves challenged to justify universalvaccine programs to parents. As diseases have disappeared from the public's eye,adverse events related to vaccines have taken on more importance. Many parents,fearing that vaccines are dangerous or unnecessary, are refusing to have their childrenvaccinated or are demanding tailor-made schedules and prioritization of vaccinations.This multimedia program explores some of the myths and truths surrounding vaccinesand provides the audience with a framework with which to understand the currentdilemma and address parents' concerns. The lecture is centered on 10 truths aboutvaccination and includes video clips from the lay press as well as parent interviews.

The National Library of Medicine is the world's largest biomedical library. It is a part ofthe National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, andhas a multitude of public resources available. This session will provide an introductionto some of these resources, including MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a publicly availabledatabase of over 18 million journal citations from 1948 to the present, andMedlinePlus®, the Library's main portal for consumer health information.

This session will demonstrate how establishing and utilizing a partnership amongpublic health, healthcare, and law enforcement can improve security planning forpublic health emergencies. The session will focus on how to establish such apartnership and what plan templates are being developed to assist agencies indeveloping operational security plans for public health emergencies.

This discussion will advocate for a paradigm shift in the way that public health viewswaterborne disease in the U.S. Waterborne illness today extends beyond drinkingwater to include a wide array of other water uses such as recreational, industrial,healthcare, agricultural, and medical use. Critical problems to be addressed include 1)Chlorine-resistant pathogens that can now by-pass traditional disinfection, 2)Contamination of water sources by chemicals that are not easily removed by existingwater treatment systems leading to potential long-term disease, 3) Crumbling drinkingwater system pipes and facilities, 4) Water quality issues in the 15 million householdsserved by private wells, which are not regulated by the Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA), 5) Increasing reports of disease outbreaks associated with the nation'sswimming pools and other recreational waters, 6) Exposure to infectious wateraerosols from cooling systems and building plumbing systems, 7) Climate change anddrought issues driving the need for safe re-use of water and wastewater.

TennCare CHOICES in Long-Term Care: Challenges and Opportunities inDesigning and Implementing an Integrated Medicaid Managed Long-Term Care Program

Public Health: An Economic Recovery Strategy

Concepts of Vaccine Practice

The poster session has been an integral part of TPHA educational conferences for manyyears. This session will give an opportunity to several poster presenters from across thestate of Tennessee and the Southeastern U.S. to highlight their programs and sharetheir successful ideas with colleagues by presenting a research study, a practicalproblem-solving effort, or an innovative program.

In March 2010,Tennessee began implementing the new TennCare CHOICES in Long-Term Care Program, which fundamentally restructures the long-term care system inTennessee. The new program integrates long-term care services within the existingmanaged care delivery system with the goal of improving quality and coordination ofcare, expanding access to home and community-based alternatives to institutionalcare, and rebalancing long-term care expenditures over time. This session will providean overview of how and why the new model was developed, challenges andopportunities encountered in implementing the new program, and how it will improvecare for long-term care members.

Health care reform, the loss of health department resources in both dollars and staff,the aging public health workforce, and the increased demand for public health servicescan be viewed as a crisis or an opportunity. This session will talk about theopportunities this challenging environment presents and the untapped resources wecan no longer afford to ignore. Join in the discussion about how to leverage publichealth trustees, citizens, policy development, and financial statistics to accomplishwhat we are all here to do - improve the health of our communities.

This session focuses on general issues in vaccine practice, some of which may not bewell known. This includes how vaccines are developed and licensed, howrecommendations are made, how vaccine delivery is financed, aspects of daily vaccinepractice, tips for effective delivery, standards for immunization practice, vaccinehandling, coding, and general rules for immunization.

(Champion Ballroom)

Free clinics are independent, community-based, safety-net health careorganizations that provide a range of medical, dental, pharmacy, and/orbehavioral health services to economically disadvantaged individuals who arepredominately uninsured. Patients are often described as “not old enough forMedicare and not poor enough for Medicaid.” These organizations are usually501(c) (3) tax-exempt organizations or operate as a program component oraffiliate of a 501(c) (3) organization. The majority of free clinics in the UnitedStates run independently and often parallel to local and statewide public healthorganizations - yet both organizations have one key mission: To protect andpromote the health of their respective communities. This presentation addressesthe formation of the largest free medical clinic in South Carolina and howpartnering with the local and statewide public health systems has reducedexpenses, increased access to wellness programs, and produced positive outcomesfrom disease management programs.

S. aureus is the most common bacterial pathogen in the U.S., with a range ofinfections spanning from uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections tobacteremia, sepsis, and death. At the root of the problem is MRSA's ability topersist as a commensal, thrive as a pathogen, and elude nearly all antimicrobialagents. This presentation will discuss the current clinical and molecularepidemiology of MRSA in the U.S., focusing on community-associated MRSAcolonization and disease.

Overweight and obesity have tremendous consequences on our state's health andeconomy. Both are linked to a number of chronic diseases, including coronaryheart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers. Many Tennessee communitiesare characterized by unhealthy options when it comes to diet and physical activity.We need public health approaches that make healthy options easy, affordable,and available for all Tennesseans. By building state capacity and buildingrelationships through the Tennessee Obesity Task Force, a statewide plan fornutrition, physical activity, and obesity prevention goals has been created.Participants in this session will learn about successful model programs acrossTennessee in the area of healthy eating and active living, including:

Psychodermatology is an approach to treating skin conditions that addresses theconnection between mind and body and, in doing so, examines disorders that areexacerbated by psychological or emotional stress. The field's practitioners studythe external stressors that often trigger skin conditions or inhibit the body'shealing process. With these stressors in mind, a psychodermatologist creates atreatment plan that can involve alternatives to conventional treatment. The goalof this presentation is to review relevant topics in psychodermatology as theyrelate to public health practice. Specifically, delusional parasitosis, Morgellon'sdisease, and related disorders will be discussed including diagnosis, clinical pearls,and management.

Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to anothervia electronic communications to improve patients' health status. Closelyassociated with telemedicine is the term "telehealth," which is often used toencompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involveclinical services. Videoconferencing, transmission of still images, e-healthincluding patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medicaleducation, and nursing call centers are all considered part of telemedicine andtelehealth. Telemedicine has the potential to improve the delivery of health care inAmerica by bringing a wider range of services such as radiology, mental healthservices, and dermatology to underserved communities and individuals in bothurban and rural areas. In addition, telemedicine can help attract and retain healthprofessionals in rural areas by providing ongoing training and collaboration withother health professionals. This session will explore the current uses and nationalissues in telemedicine.

In the U.S., obesity (BMI 30) has reached epidemic proportions regardless of age,race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or education and continues to be a healthconcern for adults, children, and adolescents. Health problems resulting fromobesity could reverse many of the health gains achieved in recent decades. Thehealth burden associated with obesity will be felt in increased morbidity,premature death and disability, increased health care costs, lost productivity, andincreased stigmatization or discrimination. This session will provide a variety ofinformation designed to help attendees understand the severity of obesity by:

1. Presenting national, state, and local data on obesity rates, identifying racialdisparities;

2. Describing national, state, and local policies that influence obesity;3. Estimating the economic impact of obesity;4. Identifying promising policies, programs, and practices designed to

combat obesity; and5. Estimating financial benefits from implementing interventions.
