Today's #TempleTuesday includes authors from @TempleCPH. Read Rehabilitative Health Care Professionals' Perceptions of Appearance-Based Professionalism at pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3878… (We are not sponsored by the author or journal.)

The single worst part of publishing is reviewing proofs. The process is extremely (needlessly!!) stressful due to unreasonable turnaround times and clunky software that crashes constantly.

We got another! Congratulations to Jamie Mansell on winning 2 different NATA 2024 National Awards. Jamie Won both Sayers Bud Miller Outstanding Educator of the year Award and Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award. Jamie will be recognized June 25-28th at NATA in New Orleans.

One of the boys in my PE class just yelled “Caitlin Clark” as he took a deep 3. We’re in a new era people. Everyone watches women’s sports.

Congratulations to new Owls who are choosing Temple and Philadelphia! Your college years will be a time of growth, learning and new experiences. Welcome to the Nest 🦉🍒 The extended deposit deadline is now May 15, there's still time to become Owl-ficial.

Our students got to collaborate together to ensure knowledge and proper procedures for licensure, legislative efforts, and working per diem as well as dealing with mass casualties! Thankful for those around who agreed and helped this event go so well to help with the TTP time!

We would love to add YOU to our team! Reach out with any questions and share to anyone interested!

I am beyond humbled and excited to begin this role. It would not be possible without the foundation that has been laid for me! If you are interested in joining our team as the CEC, please reach out!

Why Athletic Trainers should be using the @go4ellis Sideline EMR for injury documentation at youth sporting events. An often-overlooked aspect of this safety involves how medical information—specifically Electronic Medical Records (EMR)—is shared in the event of an injury or health concern during a game or tournament. The traditional method involves documenting the incident and passing the report up the chain to a tournament director, camp director, clinic director, coach, athletic director. At @go4ellis , after an evaluation is completed, the athletic trainer can share the EMR directly with the parent and/or participant in real time. Our way is better. Here is why: ✅Privacy Comes First The privacy of a child's health information is not just a preference—it's a legal requirement under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This act is designed to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge. By communicating directly with parents, healthcare providers ensure they're adhering to these privacy rules. This method minimizes risks like unauthorized access to sensitive data, which is more likely when information is relayed through third parties, such as tournament directors who aren't covered by HIPAA regulations. ✅Clear and Accurate Information When healthcare providers communicate directly with parents, it guarantees that the information shared is both accurate and clear. This direct line of communication eliminates the classic "telephone game" scenario, where information can get distorted as it's passed along. Parents can ask questions on the spot and receive detailed explanations, ensuring they fully understand the situation and know how to proceed. Most importantly, in a non-emergent situation, the parent's access to a real time evaluation can help them on the next step of care journey ✅Empowering Parents Parents are the primary decision-makers for their children. Directly involving them in the sharing and evaluation of EMR respects this fundamental right. It ensures that they are in the loop, fully informed, and able to make the best decisions for their child's health. This approach not only respects parental authority but also supports legal and ethical standards for medical care for minors. ✅ Secure Storage and Compliance Beyond the immediate sharing and communication of Electronic Medical Records (EMR), there's a critical component that deserves attention: the secure storage and handling of these records. In the realm of healthcare, particularly when it comes to minors in sports, ensuring that EMR are stored securely and in compliance with legal requirements is non-negotiable. This necessity stems from both the ethical obligation to protect patient privacy and the legal mandates outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The @go4ellis Sideline EMR is the future. It aligns with privacy laws, enables quick and informed decision-making, respects parental rights, and simplifies the care process. Most importantly, it places the child's health and safety at the forefront, ensuring they receive the best possible care with the utmost privacy and respect. In the fast-paced world of youth sports, this approach is not just beneficial—it's essential. #attwitter #NATM2024

All November long, we're discussing food insecurity and the impact it has on your players and students. Thank you to Dr. Beth Neil PhD, LAT, ATC and Dr. Jamie Mansell, PhD, LAT of @TempleATP. #attwitter #EverySidelineEverywhere bit.ly/3sP17de

Thought this might be a good time to note that sometimes articles you see in journals take 2-3 years to get published. The article you see this week might have been initially submitted in 2021. Maybe even 2020. Research takes a long time to be published. Longer than most think.

October is flying by! Here’s what our Owls have been up to this month!

Today, a vigil was held at the Bell Tower in loving memory of Temple University President JoAnne A. Epps. She was an extraordinary leader, teacher and friend to all.
