Clearpoint to Educate Patient Health Care Education
Recover 50% faster
LOGAN, Utah— In 2006 Mary Ann Parlin started ClearPoint after her dissertation. She realized that when people are educated on the surgery they are about to get, they heal almost 50 percent faster. Also, when a patient is educated, they are happier. The way we educate patients is through simulated instruction- we show you what happens before it happens. We have many DVD’s showing patients the surgery and steps of recovery.
Our staff is highly experienced and has different degrees in instructional technology, curriculum and instruction, computer science, and graphic design. Through their experience in designing, instructing, and educating, we all have the same idea; "instruction is not effective if learners don’t clearly see the main point." I joined the ClearPoint team last year after researching them because a friend told me so much about them. "I had surgery on my right lung and nearly died on the operating table because I didn’t have knowledge enough to know that I shouldn’t lie when the nurse asks if I ate within the last 24 hours." Preston Parker, now CEO of ClearPoint, told me years ago. "It’s not about the money, it’s about success." The way patients become educated through ClearPoint is included in the cost of the surgery they are going to undertake.
Clearpoint is a Utah-based company. Using a model-centered approach do design instruction. After developing accurate models of what the patients need to know, do, and feel about their own health, we create instructional materials and learning activities that actively engage patients in solving authentic problems related to their health. The final step is working with the doctors to conduct research that lets them know if the patients are really learning. The promise stands, "your patients will clearly see the main point."

Practice News Story 5: OBITUARY
The “POPErah”
CHICAGO, Ill.-- Oprah Gail Winfrey, 54, born Jan. 29, 1954, in Koscisko, Miss., joined her father in heaven Feb. 14, 2008, at Harpo Studios after a cluster of adoring fans accidentally suffocated her in excitement on her way to her car.
Oprah had a rough childhood where at the age of 13 she lived with her father’s strict discipline. She was taught at an early age how to achieve her best. At the age of 17 she started her broadcasting career when she was hired by WVOL in Nashville. Two years later she moved to Baltimore to be come a co-anchor, where she discovered her love for broadcasting. In 1986 the Oprah Winfrey show started becoming the number one talk show in less than a year.
Oprah won many Emmy awards for “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which is the highest-ranked talk show in television history. She had been nominated for an Academy Award, published a magazine, and was one of the most noted book critics our time had seen.
Named most philanthropic African American of all time, richest African American of the 20th century, the world’s only black billionaire for three straight years, and not to mention, the most influential woman in the world, Oprah paved the way.
She is survived by her partner of 21 years, Stedman Graham, two cocker spaniels (Sophie and Solomon), and two golden retrievers (Luke and Layla). She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Hattie Mae; her mother, Vernita Lee; and her father, Vernon Winfrey.
”Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.” Oprah will be remembered as one of the most wise women history has ever seen.
A viewing will be held from 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 19, 2008, at the Regan Mortuary , 2005 E. 1969 N. It is a closed service.

Last Weeks Burglary at an LDS Meeting House Goes to Court
LOGAN, Utah— Two individuals burglarized a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints meeting house last week, stealing two CPU’s, and breaking two monitors. March 25th is the date set for court. 35-year-old Jim Michals is one of the accused. The name of the other juvenile assailant has not been released.
District Attorney, Noel Mayfield told us that Judge Alan Mayfield (no relation) found enough probable cause to take this to court. Michaels could face six months to a year for the felony burglary, breaking and entering. "I’m going to see for the maximum, they have prior records which is why they are facing what they are."
Defense Attorney of Michaels, Robbie Cochran, told us the evidence is flimsy. "We can establish where Mr. Michaels was at the time of the burglary." Sheriff Deputy, Geoffery Hasty made the arrest on Michales and the juvenile last week. Michaels posted bond of $5,000. No comments were made on the juvenile.
