The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory to inform healthcare providers, pharmacists, healthcare facility administrators, and state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments of a supply disruption of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and intravenous (IV) solutions from the Baxter International’s North Cove facility in North Carolina, due to Hurricane Helene.
The Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago published a clinical decision-making tool related to potential child abuse in children under 4 years of age. The tool is called TEN-4-FACESp. It notes if bruising in any of the three components (Regions, Infants, Patterns) is present without a reasonable explanation, the provider should strongly consider evaluating for child abuse and/or consulting with an expert in child abuse.
TEN-4-FACESp is a screening tool to improve the recognition of potentially abused children with bruising who require further evaluation. It is not a diagnosis of child abuse.
Congratulations to Elizabeth Shepard on her promotion to the DEPR Technician, effective October 27, 2024. She will work to support all the platforms used by HPP and PHEP including, but not limited to, Michigan Volunteer Registry, IMATs, Michigan Health Alert Network, and many others.
