First-Of-Its-Kind Report Details How New York Children’s Hospital Transformed To Provide Care To Adult COVID-19 Patients

NEW YORK, May 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Over the course of two weeks in March, COVID-19 cases at Montefiore grew from two to almost 700. As the health system looked to increase capacity, an inpatient pediatric unit at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM), quickly became a 40-bed unit that would be home to adult patients. A new, first-of-its-kind report published in the Journal of Pediatrics describes the rapid transformation that took place. The report also shares valuable lessons learned and best practices for healthcare providers throughout the country, who may face a similar situation in the weeks ahead.

«In collaboration with our adult care providers, we quickly trained CHAM clinicians on how to provide an effective, informed and thoughtful approach to care for our new adult patients,» said lead author Kaitlyn Philips, DO, assistant medical director of Pediatric Quality, CHAM, and assistant professor of pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine. «In a matter of weeks, our physicians and nurses became accustomed to new policies and protocols, caring for adults with a highly contagious disease, and many with other underlying conditions.»

Instead of assigning pediatricians to be part of teams led by adult medicine physicians, Montefiore developed a strategy of training pediatrician-led teams and having them work within their own familiar setting. Established CHAM teams of pediatric physicians and nurses consulted with adult-medicine physicians to provide life-saving care to more than 100 patients within 10 days of accepting adults. The new report outlines the steps taken to prepare and train pediatric healthcare providers on how to treat a new, older population, including enhanced communication, adapted rounding practices, and a new coordinated approach with adult hospital medicine providers.

«This effort is a true example of interdisciplinary care and all-hands-on-deck preparation,» said Michael D. Cabana, M.D., MPH, Physician-in-Chief at CHAM and The Michael I. Cohen, M.D., University Chair, Department of Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. «Our teams mobilized early, quickly and effectively to provide high-quality care to the parents and grandparents of their usual patients. Being part of a large, integrated healthcare system enabled us to access the expertise and resources necessary to provide this care.»

In addition to providing recommended therapies for adults, the team recognized that palliative care would be essential. Dr. Cabana and Dr. Sarah Norris, director of Pediatric Palliative Care and the Quality in Life Team (QUILT) at CHAM gathered and trained 27 pediatricians, nurse practitioners and psychologists in just one week. They were then deployed throughout the adult COVID-19 unit at CHAM to help patients and their families stay connected, informed and educated during hospitalization. The expanded QUILT team became a lifeline for patients and their families, available seven days per week to help them as they faced complex medical decisions and uncertainty.

The last adult patient has been discharged from CHAM 8 and the providers will now care for pediatric patients again. Approximately 150 adults received COVID-19 treatment at CHAM.

Kavalan crea una gama básica para cautivar a un mercado más amplio

TAIPÉI, Taiwán, 4 de mayo de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — No conforme con haber llevado al mercado un tipo de whisky austero, Kavalan anuncia la creación de una nueva gama básica como parte de un catálogo que incluye la actual colección Kavalan, con variedades como Solist y Rare Sherries.

TAIPÉI, Taiwán, 4 de mayo de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — No conforme con haber llevado al mercado un tipo de whisky austero, Kavalan anuncia la creación de una nueva gama básica como parte de un catálogo que incluye la actual colección Kavalan, con variedades como Solist y Rare Sherries.

Con su rico color tierra, la botella inspirada en la forma del edificio Taipéi 101 de la Serie Distillery Select de Kavalan es un símbolo de las fortalezas centrales y fundacionales de la selección de barricas y el arte de mezclar que distinguen a Kavalan. A la izquierda, “Kavalan Distillery Select No. 1”, abundante en destellos afrutados que se mezclan con notas cremosas y acarameladas. A la derecha, “Kavalan Distillery Select No. 2” combina notas florales y herbales, maderas maduras y cálidas especias.

La Serie Distillery Select (700ml, 40% vol.) se posiciona como la primera gama básica de whisky austero que ofrece el arte superior del diseño de mezclas.

El Sr. YT Lee, director general de la empresa, señaló que la Serie Distillery Select había sido diseñada para satisfacer tanto a quienes se inician en el whisky como a los expertos en esta bebida.

«En esta gama, nuestros clientes disfrutarán de todos los beneficios del fino oficio de nuestro equipo a un sorprendente precio. Estamos explorando nuevos senderos. Buscamos, primeramente, el perfil de sabor, más que una barrica determinada».

«Para el primer whisky, enfatizamos las frutas tropicales; para el segundo, las notas florales y herbales. Cada variedad en esta gama despliega diferentes facetas del carácter distintivo de Kavalan. Cada expresión de whisky se traduce en alta calidad a un precio amable».

Añejados en barricas de relleno de alta calidad, dignas del clima subtropical de Taiwán, las variedades de esta gama toman su nombre del whisky inaugural previamente lanzado al mercado, ahora conocido como Distillery Select No. 1.

El whisky No. 1 ganó dos medallas de oro en la edición 2019 y 2020 de la Competencia Mundial de Bebidas Alcohólicas de San Francisco, y ahora disfruta de la compañía de la variedad Distillery Select No. 2, presentada el 29 de abril en Taiwán.

La variedad No.1 ha sido rempaquetada y serializada con un nuevo engomado al frente de la botella. La receta original de este whisky se mantiene intacta.

El edificio Taipéi 101, orgullo arquitectónico de Taiwán y uno de los rascacielos más altos del mundo, es un símbolo de la escala de la ambición taiwanesa. La botella de Kavalan, con la forma del 101, expresa la altura de la excelencia que busca esta destilería.

Notas de cata 

Whisky Kavalan de una sola malta Distillery Select No.1

Color: Ámbar medianoche

Nariz: Aroma delicado y sedoso. Saturado con la esencia de las maduras frutas tropicales, con notas florales y cálida vainilla.

Paladar: Elegante, de equilibrio perfecto, fácil de beber. Las ricas y complejas capas de azúcar y mantequilla, cremoso caramelo y vainilla crean un sabor multifacético suave y denso, que se prolonga hacia el final.

El Kavalan Distillery Select No. 2 es el segundo de la gama y fue oficialmente presentado el 29 de abril en Taiwán a un precio recomendado de venta al menudeo de $1.000 nuevos dólares taiwaneses por botella de 700 ml. El whisky No. 2 es profundamente aromático y ofrece una irresistible complejidad floral y herbal que mezcla notas amaderadas y especiadas en generosas capas. Pronto estará disponible en todo el mundo.

Acerca de la destilería Kavalan

La destilería Kavalan se encuentra en el condado de Yilan y ha sido pionera en el arte de elaborar whisky de una sola malta en Taiwán desde 2005. Nuestro whisky, añejado en condiciones de intensa humedad y calor, abreva del agua de deshielo de la Montaña de Xueshan y se beneficia de la fresca brisa marina y montañesa. Todos estos elementos se conjugan para crear la cremosa textura que constituye el sello Kavalan. Nuestra destilería toma su nombre del antiguo topónimo del condado de Yilan y cuenta con el respaldo de unos 40 años de experiencia en la elaboración de bebidas de nuestra casa matriz, King Car Group. Hemos cosechado más de 400 premios en la categoría Oro o superior en los concursos más competitivos del sector. Más información en www.kavalanwhisky.com.

Iniciativas frente a la COVID-19 

Las ventas de los vehículos Honda y Acura mostraron indicios de mejora en las últimas semanas de abril gracias al aumento del tráfico de clientes en línea y en pisos de muestra de los distribuidores a medida que las autoridades estatales y locales relajaron las restricciones a las ventas.

Honda ha puesto en marcha un nuevo esfuerzo integral de gran importancia para capitalizar el espíritu comunitario frente al efecto de la pandemia de COVID-19. Las iniciativas son:

  • Las concesionarias de Honda y Acura siguen concentrándose en atender a los clientes actuales mediante el servicio, el mantenimiento y las reparaciones de vehículos, sin descuidar la salud y seguridad de sus clientes y su personal.
  • Honda ha hecho equipo con Dynaflo, Inc. para producir compresoras de diafragma, un componente clave de los ventiladores portátiles en uso en hospitales y entre el personal de primera línea que ayuda a los pacientes con COVID-19. Ambas empresas buscan producir 10,000 compresoras al mes una vez que la producción alcance su capacidad plena.
  • Una serie de concesionarias Honda y Acura estuvo cerrada durante gran parte de abril para cumplir con el mandato de las autoridades estatales y locales para los negocios.
  • Los asociados de Honda están usando impresoras 3D para elaborar caretas protectoras en diversas plantas de la empresa; los ingenieros de Honda están diseñando un método para la producción masiva de marcos para caretas protectoras en las instalaciones de Honda.
  • El mes pasado, Honda y Acura abrieron el registro a nuevos programas de venta en línea: Shop Simple with Honda y Acura Precision Purchase, y recibieron una gran respuesta de concesionarias Honda y Acura que buscan una solución de venta minorista en línea para atender las necesidades de sus clientes.
  • A medida que la pandemia de la COVID-19 añade estrés financiero a la vida de nuestros clientes, Honda y Acura ofrecen ayudar a quienes han financiado sus vehículos a través de los Servicios Financieros de Honda o los Servicios Financieros de Acura con ampliaciones de plazos de pago y postergaciones, así como ausencia de penalizaciones por retrasos.
  • Honda cuenta con una oferta especial, primera en el ramo, para profesionales de la salud y de la primera línea de respuesta en homenaje a su contribución al bienestar de las comunidades de todo el país.
  • Honda se ha comprometido a destinar $1 millón a atender la inseguridad alimentaria en comunidades de los Estados Unidos, Canadá y México, llevando alimentos a las poblaciones más vulnerables.
  • Estamos trabajando en otros proyectos y formas de ayudar. Información actualizada en Hondanews.com.
