Abstract: Methods are provided for the surveillance and monitoring of a patient's medical care when the patient is treated at two or more medical organizations having different medical record systems. Patient information is received from a first medical organization and populated into an active risk assessment array that monitors the patient's risk for developing Sepsis. Patient information is then received from a second medical organization and populated into the array. It is determined that actionable criteria have been met, and in response, a notification or alert is sent to the medical organizations indicating that the patient is at risk for developing Sepsis.

Abstract: The hitting mitt comprises a flexible pad structure formed into a tube shape having opposite end openings and including a hole formed through the side wall of the tube shape. A person can insert either his right or left hand into one of the end openings and orient the tube shape so that his thumb can extend through the hole with his fingers extending out the opposite end opening, the pad covering both the palm and back of his hand. The hitting mitt provides protection while playing volleyball, four square, tether ball and many other games.
