"Pleasure in the job, puts perfection in the work."
Aristotle
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

September is National Recovery Month.
2018 theme:
Join the Voices for Recovery: Invest in Health, Home, Purpose, and Community
Drugs are killing more Coloradans than ever.
Opioids, methamphetamines, cocaine and other substances claimed the lives of 912 Coloradans in 2016, an all-time high, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
That's more than the 627 Coloradans who died in a car crash in 2016 and more than the 532 who died of flu that year.
Key Takeaways
2018 Colorado Health Institute Report
-
Colorado recorded 912 drug overdose deaths in 2016, more than in any previous year. And new data, while not final, suggest the deaths increased to 959 in 2017.
-
That translates to a rate of 16.1 drug overdose deaths for each 100,000 residents, up 83 percent from a rate of 8.8 in 2001.
-
There are wide variations across Colorado's counties. El Paso County led the state with 141 fatal drug overdoses in 2016, followed by Denver County at 138. Colorado's populous counties, most located along the Front Range, generally have the highest numbers of overdose deaths, reflecting their larger populations.
-
Huerfano County, with about 6,600 residents, had six overdose deaths in 2016. That's a rate of 152.6 per 100,000, the highest in the state. In fact, nine of the 10 counties with the highest overdose death rates have populations of less than 50,000.

Introducing the Post-Acute Care Continuity Plan |
|
The push for care coordination improvement, penalties for avoidable readmissions, and consumer adoption of intelligent technologies are trends entrenched in the practice of care. All three are reshaping the healthcare landscape based on one simple fact: It's much less expensive for a patient to embrace self-care strategies to treat new or recurring symptoms than to end up in the hospital.
The solution involves a two-part strategy:
Introduce a self-care post-acute care continuity plan that expands beyond the hospital and is entirely e-transaction focused
Maintain patient oversight at home or other post-acute care setting through a connected care team
