Increasing EHR Use for Quality Improvement in Community Health Centers: The Role of Networks

Describes how five community health center networks helped implement electronic health records to improve chronic and preventive care, as well as the obstacles they faced, including limited software capabilities, funding, and ability to share resources

Development of Resting Cell Assay Protocol to Characterize Sulfolane Degrading Bacteria

Sulfolane is a chemical contaminant present in hundreds of commercial and residential drinking wells in the North Pole area. Due to the possible health impacts of consumption, degradation/removal of the sulfolane from contaminated wells is necessary. Microbial isolates taken from sulfolane contaminated sites have shown the potential to degrade sulfolane. It is the purpose of my research to design a protocol by which sulfolane tolerant bacteria could be screened or their potential to utilize sulfolane as a sole carbon source (SOCS), and characterize them as sulfolane degraders
