MONTHLY ROUNDTABLE MEETINGS AND SEMINARS HAVE BEEN HELD FOR LOCAL OFFICE MANAGERS AND PROVIDERS TO ENCOURAGE PEER-TO-PEER LINKAGES, INCREASE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OF MODERN MEDICAL OFFICE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES AND EDUCATE IN SPECIFIC PRACTICE MANAGEMENT TOPICS. PARTICIPATION IN THIS GROUP LEADS TO ON-SITE CONSULTATION FOR INDIVIDUAL OFFICES, FOCUSING ON PROCESS FLOWS, OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT, ANALYZING CYCLE TIMES, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT. EXPANSION OF ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE PSYCHIATRY SERVICES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ACCESS IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. THE COALITION IS DEVELOPING A SYSTEM OF JOINT PRIMARY CARE/PSYCHIATRY APPOINTMENTS TO INCREASE A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER'S CAPACITY TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH CARE. THE PSYCHIATRIST WILL PROVIDE MENTORING, COACHING AND CONSULTATION TO THE PRIMARY PROVIDER. 7. PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM THE PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BE INTEGRATED AS PART OF A PATIENT'S CARE PLAN AT ANY TIME, TO MANAGE SYMPTOMS RELATED TO TREATMENT SUCH AS CHEMOTHERAPY, OR FOR SYMPTOMS THAT LINGER OR APPEAR AFTER TREATMENT IS COMPLETE. PALLIATIVE CARE IS THE COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF THE DISCOMFORT, SYMPTOMS AND STRESS OF SERIOUS ILLNESS. IT DOES NOT REPLACE A PATIENT'S PRIMARY TREATMENT, BUT WORKS TOGETHER WITH TREATMENT AT ANY POINT IN A PATIENT'S CARE. PALLIATIVE CARE ALSO ADDRESSES PSYCHOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL CONCERNS - ALL TO ACHIEVE THE BEST QUALITY OF LIFE POSSIBLE FOR EACH PATIENT. AT COOPER, THE PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM CAN HELP PATIENTS MANAGE THE COMMON SIDE EFFECTS OF ILLNESS SUCH AS: PAIN, FATIGUE, NAUSEA, CONSTIPATION, DIARRHEA, DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY, DIFFICULTY BREATHING, LOSS OF APPETITE AND WEIGHT LOSS, WEAKNESS, SLEEP PROBLEMS, CONFUSION AND END-OF-LIFE CARE. (D) RESEARCH-CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY HEALTH THE COOPER RESEARCH INSTITUTE, ESTABLISHED IN JANUARY 2003, COORDINATES CLINICAL TRIALS AND SUPPORTS RESEARCHERS AT COOPER. THROUGH BASIC AND CLINICAL RESEARCH, FACULTY AT COOPER IS BRINGING SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES TO LIFE AND PROVIDING THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS IN SOUTH JERSEY WITH ACCESS TO CUTTING-EDGE TREATMENTS IN FIELDS SUCH AS CANCER, CARDIOLOGY, CRITICAL CARE, DIABETES, AND GENE THERAPY. COOPER FACULTY MEMBERS CURRENTLY CONDUCT APPROXIMATELY 407 NIH AND INDUSTRY-SPONSORED CLINICAL TRIALS EACH YEAR. MANY OF THESE STUDIES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IN SOUTH JERSEY AT COOPER.
