(And practically speaking, they are probably taking it real slow and hoping Matt forgets/gives up before they have to attempt to implement any of that insanity. Assuming Matt is even serious about it, maybe he is just talking big, trying to make the company look better for possible IPO or sale)

So I've heard about the migration to the Wordpress backend... Will we know when it's done? Can you get @engineering to put out something technical about what had to happen?

Answer: Hi, @legowerewolf!

We’re in the planning and prototyping phase right now—so we don’t have a lot of details to share, unfortunately. But we will share our plans and our progress as it gets clearer.

Some of the pieces we are discussing are:

Mapping Tumblr database schemas to WordPress.

Supporting Tumblr themes natively in WordPress.

Ensuring fast response times for all feeds.

We must add two things here. Firstly, this will be a long process, and it won’t be completed anytime soon, per se. Secondly, we should also use the opportunity to clarify that, besides a bug or two here or there, how you know and use Tumblr will not change at all.

This will be a big change—but an invisible one, more or less.

Thanks for your questions, and have a great day!

Employers desire foreign workers who are accustomed to the hazardous work sites of industrial construction; in particular, they specifically solicit migrants who do not have a history of labor organizing within SWANA. In response, labor brokerage firms brand themselves as offering migrant workers who are deferential. Often, labor brokers conflate the category of South Asian with docility; [...] as inherently passive, disciplined, and, most important, unfettered by volatile working conditions. "We say quality, they [U.S. employers] say seasoned. We both know what it means. Workers who are not going to quit, not going to run away in the foreign country and do as they are told.” [...]

For migrants, the U.S. oil industry presents a rare chance to apply their existing skill set in a country with options for permanent residency and sponsorship of family members. Migrants wish to find an end to their tem­porary worker status; they imagine the United States as a liberal economy in which labor standards are enforced and there are opportunities for citizenship and building a life for their family. [...] What brokers fail to explain is that South Asian migrants are being recruited as guest workers. Migrants will not have access to U.S. citizenship or visas for family members; in fact, their employment status will be quite similar to their SWANA migration.

While nations such as the Philippines have both state-mandated and independent migrant rights agencies, the Indian government has minimal avenues for worker protection. These are limited to hotlines for reporting abusive foreign employers and Indian consulates located in a few select countries of the SWANA region. [... Brokers] emphasize the docility of Indian migrants in comparison to the disruptive tendencies of other Asian migrant workers. [...] “Some of these Filipino men you see make a lot of trouble in the Arab countries. Even their women, who work as maids and such, lash out. The employer says one wrong thing and the workers get the whole country [the Philippines] on the street. [...] But you don’t see our people creating a tamasha [spectacle] overseas.” [...] Just as Filipinx migrants are racialized to be undisciplined labor, Indian brokers construct divisions within the South Asian workforce to promote the primacy of their own firms. In particular, Pakistani workers are racialized as an abrasive population.

[...] While the public image of the South Asian American community remains as model minorities, presumed to be primarily upwardly mobile professionals, the global reality of the population is quite to the contrary. [...] From the historic colonial routes initiated by British occupation of South Asia to the emergence of energy markets within the countries of SWANA, migrants have been recruited to build industries by contributing their labor to construction projects. Within the last decade, these South Asian migrants, with experience in the SWANA oil industry, have been actively solicited as guest workers into the energy sector of the United States. The growth of hydraulic fracturing has opened new territory for oil extraction; capitalizing on the potential market are numerous stakeholders who have invested in industrial construction projects across the southwestern United States. The solicitation of South Asian construction workers is not coincidental. [...] Kartik, a globally competitive firm’s broker, explains the connection of Indian labor to practices of the past. “You know we come from a long history of working in foreign lands. Even the British used to send us to Africa and the Arab regions to work in the mines and oil fields. It’s part of our history.”

i love you┃ln4

prompt: n/a a.n: helloooo. i am lydia, and i have no clue what im even doing lmao i just like to write.

i write for everyone.

Lando Norris loves his life. He loves racing and his community. He loves to stream, too, being able to connect with the people supporting him fuels a part of deep, loving part of him. But he also loves his girl. God does he love her. From the way she screws her eyes tight in the bright early morning light to the way she nuzzles against him when the sky darkens. He loves it all. He even loves when she drones on about her favorite things, even if he was vehemently against horror films, the light on Y/N's face is enough to convince him that he loves horror just as much.

Following the lead up to Halloween, Y/N had convinced Lando they needed to rewatch "possibly the best franchise in horror history" as Y/N had deemed it.

While the couch was soft, and the blanket drawn over the two was equally as warm as the feeling of Y/N's hand, tangled in curled locks of hair. He wasn't sure how they had managed to migrate to that position. His back was pressed against the back of the couch, lying on his side as he rested his head against Y/N's shoulder, his leg falling naturally between her own, with his arm looped around her back.

Rain clattering against the window, curtains drawn to a neutral -- just enough to see the rain, but closed enough for it to not put stress on the holdbacks. Lando thinks that this may just be heaven on earth. Or earth on heaven.

"...but at the end of Halloween Kills, he was missing two of his fingers, so maybe he can't just regenerate? Or does he just choose not to?" Her soft voice contrasted the violent words of his girlfriend. "Hmm? Sorry. You're just too pretty." Lando smiled up at her, eye twitching when she scratches a particularly nice spot on his head.

"Maybe you think I am, but this is something that has been bugging me for, like, forever." She smiles at him. God her smile.

"Mmhmm" His voice is as soft as hers now, pushing his hand into her shirt, he traces the skin of her side. Careful not to brush past the ticklish part, send her into a fit of giggles, and disrupt the oh-so important conversation the were having.

"I love you, but just because you spent the last 40 minutes of the film hiding behind a pillow, doesn't mean--mm." He's pressed a kiss to her lips, to shut her up, or to minimize his punishment, he's not even sure but she loves it. God does she love it. She loves him.

"You love me? I love you."

"I do love you. Say it again, baby."

And he does, and while he does, he's enunciating every 'I love you' with his kiss to his favorite girl. "I love you, I love you, I love you. Do you need me to say it again or are you okay now?" He smiles up at her, gazes lovingly into her eyes with his own, love-struck.

"Are you tired? You look tired." Her hand raises to brush over his dropping eyes, murmuring softly into a kiss on his forehead, and then another just beside his eyebrow, and then a final one on the apple of his cheek.

"I'm a little tired. Do you want me to take you to bed?" She knows that means he'll pick her up, bridal style, groan about his bones hurting, and when she offered to get down, he'd brush his lips onto hers, stationary, and tell her that there's nowhere he'd rather have her.

"Hmmm. Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay."

"That misogyny exists within Palestinian society is undeniable. However, the idea that Israel represents salvation from this misogyny, rather than embodying the racist and colonial structures that perpetuate it, is far more questionable. In fact, there is much evidence that weakening community structures, disruptions in law and order, economic hardship, forced migration and over-crowded living conditions in refugee/displacement camps, all of which Palestinians have experienced as a result of Israeli violence, are all factors that increase the risk of sexual and gender-based violence, especially against women and girls. Furthermore, the bureaucratic colonial fragmentation of Palestine into different areas of control, especially the division of the West Bank into areas A, B, and C and the divide between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, is actually an obstacle to preventing this violence or holding its perpetrators accountable [You can read more about this here].

Palestinian feminist scholars and organizers have been studying and resisting Israel’s violent practices against all Palestinians, and its gendered practices against Palestinian women in particular. As a result, we recognize that true liberation for Palestinian women is impossible with anything short of the liberation of all Palestinians from Israeli settler colonialism. As Palestinian feminists, human rights activists and representatives of women organizations declared in a statement of support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement: 

 “The struggle of Palestinian feminists [is] as marginalized women who are deprived of equal rights and as part of an indigenous people suffering under a regime of occupation and apartheid. We cannot accept the backseat reserved for an obedient minority that must be filled in conferences or statements issued by Israeli groups. We are struggling for our rights, all of our rights, national, social and otherwise, and against all oppression.” 

Palestinian women reject all purplewashing attempts to minimize Israeli violence against us and all Palestinians, which only seeks to bolster Israel’s image at the expense of Palestinians’ rights. Palestinian women in the struggle are aware that they are fighting for the rights and human dignity of all, and that “feminism that doesn’t have an understanding of how it intersects with racial and ethnic oppression is simply a diversification of white supremacy.” We hope you will join us in working for the liberation of all Palestinians; and that the next time you see an pro-Israel organization brazenly attempt to use the feminist movement to cover for colonialism, you can see that purple really isn’t Israel’s color."

Another sketch, another muse. The forewings are much bigger than depicted, akin to the male Muto from Godzilla. - ZYKITIN CERRA Title - Dragonwing beetle Monster class - Neopteran Known locales - Volcanic regions, cold regions Element/Ailment - Dragon Elemental weakness - Water (3), Fire (2), Dragon (1), Ice (1), Thunder (1) Ailment weakness - Paralysis (2), Sleep (2), Blast (1), Poison (1), Stun (1) Zykitin Cerra is a neopteran and the imago form of Neopha Cerra, principally found in volcanic regions but also known to revisit the cold regions where it spent its juvenile days. Its physicality has dramatically altered in the metamorphosis from nymph to imago; Zykitin Cerra has sprouted dexterous leathery wings, extended its abdomen into a flexible apendage and discarded facets of its previous form, notably the spinnerets, sedative spines, and extendable labium. A black carapace better blends into the volcanic environments it prefers to inhabit, though the crimson underside of its wings are useful for intimidating other monsters. Soaring far and wide in search of food, its small hindwings acting as rudders, Zykitin Cerra maintains its herbivorous diet, feeding on the various plants and fungi able to withstand volcanic and frigid conditions. Notably, it has gained a particular taste for dragonfell berries, and jealously defends any growth it finds from other herbivores. To this end, it is far more aggressive than the skittish Neopha Cerra. Researchers should not approach Zykitin Cerra, who will turn hostile swiftly if its warnings are not heeded, and must absolutely not approach a Neopha Cerra if Zykitin Cerra is present, as it will interpret close proximity as a threat to the juvenile and attack without relent. Though lacking the silk and sedatives of its nymph form, Zykitin Cerra makes up for this with how powerful its new body is. The leathery forewings are surprisingly flexible and durable, used both as shields and bludgeons, and their crimson undersides hold ports that discharge dragon energy. This dragon energy functions like a disruptive mist, spreading wide with flaps of the neopteran's wings and searing opponents. Otherwise, Zykitin Cerra grapples monsters with its limbs and cerci, tending to lift them upwards then slam them into the ground. Zykitin Cerra's newfound aggression and draconic power belies an altruistic care for Neopha Cerra. While a mother Zykitin Cerra abandons her clutch after laying, adults nevertheless protect any juvenile they come across, willing to stand up even to elder dragons if it allows the Neopha Cerra to escape. Some researchers believe the principle reason for Zykitin Cerras migrating to volcanic regions is to minimize resource competition with the juveniles. That said, they are less tolerant to fellow adults, comparing the size of their forewings to intimidate one another. Very rarely do these contests result in violence; usually a good display of dragon energy is enough to dissuade conflict. Far outstripping its nymph state in terms of power (Low Rank - 5, High/Master Rank - 3), Zykitin Cerra is a challenge for even experienced hunters. The combination of its aerial manoeuvrability, dexterous wings and dragon energy makes a formidable force to contend with. As with most flying monsters, hunters are advised to use flash bombs to bring it down if it's airborne, then focus on the vulnerable joints. While herbivorous, Zykitin Cerra can contend with many apex predators, including Rathalos and Legiana, combining intimidation and aggression to unnerve foes before resorting to violence. Zykitin Cerra has few adversaries, though it is known to harass the snake wyvern Kobadra, another monster who covets dragonfell berries. Notably, Zykitin Cerra will viciously attack the brute wyvern Frezarion on sight; as Frezarion is the main predator of Neopha Cerra, researchers believe this to be a combination of protecting the young and seeking vengeance for when they too were threatened by Frezarion. - Thank you for reading and take care.

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:

It’s been a dark decade for the endangered North Atlantic right whale. More than 40 of these ocean giants have perished since 2017, mainly due to two human-driven factors: vessel strikes and getting tangled up in fishing gear. 

But this week, scientists announced a rare bit of good news for the struggling species. In 2023, the right whale population size climbed to 372 individuals—a slight uptick from 2022, according to the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium, a scientific data-sharing body. 

The modest increase indicates a leveling off of the sharp decline seen in prior years—with some caveats. The estimate includes new calves before they are officially cataloged for the first time; recalculating 2022 in the same way updates that figure to 367, about a dozen whales more than the earlier number. The new numbers also do not reflect the five documented deaths or the four lost calves that scientists presume have died in 2024 so far, the third highest annual mortality count on record. 

“While the whales may be adapting to a rapidly changing environment, the continued high level of mortality and serious injury clearly shows we must continue to adapt and evolve our management,” Philip Hamilton, a scientist at New England Aquarium’s Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life and a member of the consortium, said in a statement. 

To prevent entanglements, the federal government has enacted seasonal fishing closures in parts of New England, which limit lobster harvesting during the whales’ migration season. In recent years, a new technology known as on-demand gear has emerged to minimize rope from lobster traps and help fishers get back on the water during these closures—without putting whales at risk. But many lobstermen see the technology as another threat to their industry rather than a solution.

In May, I visited Cape Cod to see this “ropeless” gear in action and talk to some of the main players in these efforts, which you can read about in a piece I published earlier this week. Today, I’m diving into the process behind reporting this story and what’s at stake for the right whales and lobstermen.

Entanglements, in a Nutshell: North Atlantic right whales migrate through the East Coast of North America to breed and follow their favorite food—tiny crustaceans called copepods, abundant in the Gulf of Maine. But these waters come with risks. Each year, the whales pass through lobster fishing areas in Massachusetts and Maine, where they may struggle to avoid copious amounts of gear and traps, research shows. 

Over the past decade, at least 10 right whales have died from entanglements with fishing gear. However, reports suggest that 85 percent of right whales have scars from an entanglement at some point in their lives. Studies show that even temporary rope incidents can cause infections, increased stress, starvation and disruption to the ability to breed. 

The situation came to a head in 2017, when an unprecedented 17 whales died in U.S. and Canadian waters. Research shows that waters warmed by climate change shifted copepod distribution, and whales likely followed their food into the new areas—which had little to no protection from fishing gear and ship traffic. I learned more about the boat collision side of this issue for a story I covered last year. 

My new reporting underscores that more fishery closures are likely—and that new gear could be a workaround.

Navigating the Ozone Layer Depletion Crisis

The ozone layer, a fragile shield of gas enveloping the Earth, plays a critical role in safeguarding life on our planet. However, since the mid-20th century, human activities have triggered a cascade of events leading to its depletion. The ozone layer, primarily located in the stratosphere, absorbs the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, shielding the Earth's surface from its detrimental effects. Ozone molecules (O3) undergo a continuous process of creation and destruction, with ultraviolet radiation breaking apart oxygen molecules (O2) to form ozone. This delicate balance maintains the ozone layer's integrity, ensuring that harmful UV radiation remains at bay.

The onset of industrialization heralded the era of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), synthetic compounds containing chlorine and bromine that catalyze the breakdown of ozone molecules. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), once widely used in refrigerants, solvents, and aerosol propellants, emerged as the primary culprits behind ozone depletion. When released into the atmosphere, these ODS molecules migrate to the stratosphere, where they undergo photodissociation, liberating chlorine atoms that catalytically destroy ozone molecules.

The depletion of the ozone layer poses grave consequences for ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health. Increased exposure to UV radiation threatens marine ecosystems, hindering the growth and development of phytoplankton, the foundation of the marine food web. Terrestrial ecosystems, including forests and agricultural crops, face heightened risks of damage and disruption, with implications for global food security and biodiversity loss. Human health is also at stake, as heightened UV radiation levels amplify the incidence of skin cancers, cataracts, and compromised immune function. Vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, and outdoor workers, face heightened risks of UV-related health ailments, necessitating proactive measures to minimize exposure and mitigate health risks.

Recognizing the urgent need to address ozone layer depletion, the international community rallied behind the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, a landmark treaty adopted in 1987. The Montreal Protocol mandated the phasedown and eventual phaseout of ozone-depleting substances, spurring innovation in ozone-friendly alternatives and technologies. Through concerted global cooperation and scientific research, significant progress has been made in mitigating ozone depletion. The phaseout of CFCs and other ozone-depleting substances has led to gradual recovery of the ozone layer, with projections indicating a return to pre-1980 levels by mid-century. However, persistent challenges remain, including the emergence of new ozone-depleting substances and the complex interplay of climate change and ozone depletion.

Addressing ozone layer depletion demands sustained commitment and collaboration across national borders and sectors. Efforts to accelerate the phaseout of ozone-depleting substances must be coupled with initiatives to enhance monitoring, research, and public awareness. Investing in ozone-friendly technologies, renewable energy sources, and sustainable practices can bolster resilience to ozone depletion while advancing broader environmental and societal goals. Education and outreach play a pivotal role in fostering a culture of environmental stewardship and responsible consumption. By raising awareness about the impacts of ozone depletion and empowering individuals to take action, we can catalyze collective efforts to protect the ozone layer and safeguard the health and well-being of present and future generations.

In conclusion, ozone layer depletion represents a complex and multifaceted challenge with far-reaching implications for the environment, biodiversity, and human health. By leveraging scientific knowledge, policy interventions, and global cooperation, we can chart a course towards ozone resilience, ensuring that the protective shield of the ozone layer endures as a beacon of hope for generations to come.

Seamless Transition: Best Practices for Website Migration to Shopify

In the ever-evolving landscape of e-commerce, staying competitive requires not just a robust online presence but also adaptability to emerging platforms. As businesses strive to enhance user experience, streamline operations, and optimize sales, many are turning to Shopify for its user-friendly interface, extensive customization options, and powerful marketing tools. However, migrating an existing website to Shopify can be a daunting task if not approached strategically. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the best practices for a seamless transition to Shopify, ensuring minimal disruption to your online business.

Thorough Planning and Preparation:

Before embarking on the migration process, it's crucial to conduct a thorough assessment of your current website. Identify all existing content, including product listings, images, blog posts, and customer data. Take inventory of any custom features, integrations, or third-party apps that may need to be replicated or replaced on the new platform. Establish clear goals and timelines for the migration process to keep it on track.

Choose the Right Shopify Plan:

Shopify offers a range of plans tailored to different business needs, from startups to enterprise-level corporations. Assess your requirements in terms of product catalog size, expected traffic volume, and desired features to select the most suitable plan. Consider factors such as transaction fees, credit card rates, and additional services offered within each plan.

Data Migration and Integration:

Transferring your existing data to Shopify accurately is crucial for maintaining continuity and avoiding disruptions to your business operations. Utilize Shopify's built-in migration tools or third-party apps to seamlessly import product listings, customer information, and order history. Ensure compatibility with any existing integrations or third-party services your business relies on, such as payment gateways, shipping providers, and accounting software.

Design and Customization:

One of the key advantages of Shopify is its customizable design options, allowing you to create a unique and visually appealing storefront. Choose a Shopify theme that aligns with your brand identity and offers the features you require. Customize the design elements, layout, and color scheme to reflect your brand's personality and enhance user experience. Leverage Shopify's drag-and-drop editor and CSS customization capabilities to fine-tune the design to your liking.

Optimize for SEO:

A successful website migration should not only maintain your existing search engine rankings but also provide opportunities for improvement. Prioritize SEO best practices throughout the migration process, including:

Properly redirecting old URLs to their corresponding new URLs using 301 redirects to preserve link equity and prevent 404 errors.

Updating meta tags, headers, and image alt texts to optimize for relevant keywords and improve search engine visibility.

Submitting updated sitemaps to search engines to ensure they crawl and index your new Shopify site efficiently.

Implementing schema markup to enhance the appearance of your site's search results and provide rich snippets to users.

User Testing and Quality Assurance:

Before making your Shopify site live, conduct thorough testing to identify and address any issues or inconsistencies. Test the functionality of all features, including product pages, navigation menus, checkout process, and payment gateways, across different devices and browsers. Solicit feedback from beta users or employees to uncover any usability issues or bugs that may have been overlooked.

Launch and Post-Migration Optimization:

Once you're confident in the stability and functionality of your Shopify site, it's time to go live. Monitor closely for any post-migration issues, such as broken links, missing images, or discrepancies in data. Implement tracking tools such as Google Analytics to monitor site traffic, user behavior, and conversion rates. Continuously optimize your Shopify site based on performance metrics and user feedback to maximize its effectiveness in driving sales and achieving your business objectives.

In conclusion, migrating your website to Shopify can be a transformative step in enhancing your online presence and driving business growth. By following these best practices and approaching the migration process with careful planning and attention to detail, you can ensure a seamless transition that preserves your existing assets while unlocking the full potential of the Shopify platform.

FusionFall Headcanons: Terrorpins

Never smile at a crocodile--and that goes doubly so for this double-mawed monstrosity! Lurking primarily in murky areas, Terropins will patiently wait to scope up any prey within range of their jaws. If you can help it, this is one beast you do not want to wrestle with.

Fuse and his army of spawns appear to be just as confused about the difference between alligators and crocodiles as we often get, because the Terrorpin shows traits of both. Seen in concept art, while it has a gator's more rounded snout(s), its fangs can jut both up and downward on the outside of its twin mouths (granted, we don't see as many in the upward position). Like alligators, these things exist around bodies of freshwater; however, like crocodiles, they are extremely aggressive and, due to their fusion matter makeup, they're actually fine in both salt and fresh bodies of water. They can exhibit both solitary and social habits. As such, this distinction is less important than the one between the monster's variants.

SIDE NOTE: Based on the name for the concept art file itself as well as their shells, these monsters are also heavily based on snapping turtles. However, as they lack a lure-like tongue to catch prey and have so many more similarities to gators/crocs, the snapping turtle influence seems to be more minimal outside of defenses and ambush habits already present in all three animals.

Terrorpins can be found anywhere from the Wilds to the sewers in the City. However, as the latter case only occurs during the time of the Academy and there's not really anywhere for them to naturally come from nearby, it's likely that they were brought to the City rather than spawned there initially--following the myth of alligators in the sewers based on how pets from the southern USA were brought to places like NYC. By the time of the Academy, fusion fighters in the City pretty much dominated fusion monsters in urban warfare. As such, to try to get a stronger hold of those areas, more spawns were created/migrated to them. The Terrorpins would be one of these species, attaching them to the myths as a means of catering to human fears. Attacking the City underground also succeeded in giving Fuse a base of operations in the City that wasn't as easily disrupted as any would be on the surface.

From their description, Terrorpins are noted to have only one weak spot: The head. This is due to the rest of their bodies being covered in that heavy, shell-like armor. Still, we never see them draw within their shells as turtles do.

Because of their shell and the double set of jaws, they can't kill their victims in the same way a normal alligator or crocodile would--by rolling their bodies violently to shake and beat their prey. If they attempted this, especially when fighting on land or in shallow waters, they're more than likely to get stuck on their sides or backs and risk exposing their somewhat softer underbellies. Instead, they crush and tear at their targets. Like crocodiles, their jaws are strong enough to shatter bone. Having two jaws means that they can attack two vitals areas of the body at once for large targets, and their jaws are capable of stretching apart from one another somewhat in order to rip at their prey further.

If you get caught in their teeth, chances of escape are slim, so it's best to fight at long-range when you can. If not, you might be able to jump on their backs and attack from the top of the head. While this can be an effective strategy at times, just keep in mind that they do have spikes meant to prevent this from happening, as well as fusion matter oozing between their armored plates.

Like real crocs and gators, the Terrorpins have pretty good eyesight--especially since they have an additional, forward-facing third eye. However, due to the massive shells on their backs, they can severely lack visibility from behind. Chances are though, you might not be able to see faster, as they have excellent camouflage from being made largely of twisted, gnarled wood.

Interestingly enough, while fusion monsters rarely show a need to eat, Great Terrorpins are one of the few that actively do. Their description notes that they constantly catch fish that drop from the Forgotten Falls--and warn the reader that they'll hunt down fusion fighters as well. Regular Terrorpins may also "eat" their victims, but this would indicate that the Great Terropins have a truer/much larger appetite and are more violent as a result. It may also indicate a sneakier nature more like the real animal/s they are based on, as they are willing to lie along familiar paths in-wait for prey. We see them do this out of the water as well, near the main path at the top of the Falls that fusion fighters often travel by.

A Cheat Sheet for EHR Data Conversion and Migration

Bid farewell to data headaches and embrace a seamless transition between Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems! Moving to a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) can feel like scaling Mount Data Everest, but fear not, brave healthcare hero. This cheat sheet is your trusty sherpa, guiding you through the tricky terrain of data conversion and migration.

Before You Begin

Investigate how both your current and future EHR systems handle data export and import. Is it a database dump, APIs, or file transfers? The sooner you understand, the smoother the migration.

Do not assume that all data is easily transferable. Scrutinize your data to ensure it meets the new system’s requirements, as not all elements may seamlessly make the journey.

Don’t rely on cumbersome claim transfers. Wrap up outstanding accounts receivable in your old system before making the switch.

Schedule your migration around holidays to minimize disruption and give your team (and the data!) breathing room.

Conversion Strategies

Embrace a phased approach. Move demographics, appointments, and master lists first. Clinical data can wait (gasp!). This lets your team and the new EHR prioritize and get you online ASAP.

Conduct multiple tests, running trial conversions on small patient samples (say 30 patients). You’ll unearth issues before they become mountain-sized problems.

Consider retaining temporary access to your old system for reference purposes. It’s like a safety net for those “oh, I forgot that!” moments.

Not everything needs a new home. Utilize an archival system for data you don’t need in the new EHR.

Data Essentials

Ensure a smooth migration by prioritizing the transfer of the following essential data:

Patient Information: Demographics, insurance scans, policy details, historic charges/balances.

Appointments: Both past and future appointments, meticulously organized.

Master Lists: Categorize and transfer insurance providers, referral sources, and other relevant lists.

Clinical Data: Chart PDFs, discrete text data, allergies, medications, problem lists, immunizations, and progress notes.

Procedures: Transfer detailed information such as CPT codes, modifiers, and pre-authorization codes.

CCDAs: Acquire the Summary of Care document, a valuable data repository.

Financials: Limited financial data may be transferred, but confirm the specifics with your new EHR to ensure accuracy.

Bonus Tip: Make a list of all your EHR integration points like FHIR, HL7 V2, APIs, CSV files. Don’t leave any data orphans behind!

But fear not, weary traveler! You don’t have to climb this mountain alone. We’re here to help with expert guidance, proven strategies, and a team of data Sherpas ready to tackle any conversion challenge. Contact us today for a free consultation and let’s turn your EHR migration into a smooth and stress-free journey!

Remember, with the right plan and a helping hand, even the mightiest data peak can be conquered.

I'm in wound care clinic today. For wounds with lots of tissue that's stuck to the wound, you can apply medihoney and then xeroform dressing on top.

For wounds with lots of drainage, apply Aquacel dressings and pt should elevated the area.

Vashe is a wound cleanser that can treat pseudomonas. One of the pts I saw today had a greenish looking wound, so the doctor asked the RN to put Vashe on the wounds. There's also Dakin's solution and Irrisept solution. You put the Vash on some gauze and soak it and let it stay on the wound for 15 minutes before dressing the wound.

Vashe - Vashe Wound Solution helps to cleanse the wound and accomplish the goals of wound bed preparation in a biocompatible, safe, effective, and natural way. This solution of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) acts as a preservative that inhibits microbial contamination within the solution. Vashe Wound Solution has the highest concentration of pure HOCl.

Dakin's solution - Dakin’s solution is a mixture of sodium hypochlorite (0.4% to 0.5%) and boric acid (4%) diluted in water. The boric acid (HȝBOȝ) acts as a buffering agent to maintain a pH of between 9 and 10, as alkalinity outside this range is found to be much more irritating. Boric Acid is also a mildly effective antiseptic. Irrisept - Irrisept is jet lavage containing low concentration Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) 0.05% in sterile water for irrigation. CHG acts as a preservative to help inhibit microbial growth in the solution.

The mechanical action of the Irrisept system removes particulate and debris. The unique bottle design allows users to control the delivery pressure of the solution through manual bottle compression. Grasping the bottle firmly, the user can control the direction and pressure needed to help remove particulate and debris.

OptiLock is good for wounds with lots of drainage.

OptiLock - OptiLock is a super absorbent polymer core dressing. It takes in a remarkable amount of wound fluid — even under compression — and locks it away to help prevent maceration. Even more, this wound dressing is non-adhesive, meaning minimal disruption to the wound and gentle, pain-free removal.

OptiLock can be used as a primary dressing on partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds, such as: pressure, venous or neuropathic ulcers; post-operative wounds; superficial or partial-thickness burns (first- or second-degree); lacerations; abrasions. OptiLock can also be used as a secondary dressing on full-thickness wounds.

Santyl is another product that works for stuck on tissue. It has collagenase, which breaks down tissue that is stuck to a wound. With its unique mechanism of debridement, Collagenase SANTYL◊ Ointment has been shown to help wounds progress toward closure through byproducts that contribute to the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells.

SANTYL Ointment uniquely and actively debrides by cleaving necrotic tissue at seven specific sites along the denatured collagen molecule, unlike endogenous debridement that only works at one site.5,7 While this effectively removes barriers to healing, it also aids wound progression by creating polypeptide bioactive byproducts8-11 that have been shown to signal cells associated with closure.

Epifix - EPIFIX is a dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane allograft. EPIFIX is SMR2T Technology (Selective Membrane of Reparative and Reconstructive Tissue) which provides a semi-permeable protective barrier that supports the healing cascade. The product protects the wound bed to aid in the development of granulation tissue and provides a human biocompatible extracellular matrix that retains 300+ regulatory proteins.

Saw a pt who had a wound that was on the bottom of his foot. It was like a slit and there was a lot of callus around it because the pressure on his feet when he walks would hit that area of his foot. The doctor removed the callus tissue because that will help it heal. When wounds are dry, they won't heal. You can put Hydrogel into a wound so it can be more moist and it will heal better than a wound that is dry and not healing. You can cover it with a non-adhering dressing called Adaptic. Adaptic dressing is more confortable to remove. Hydrogel may also be more comfortable for pts.
