Data analytics are offering innovative healthcare systems more visibility into supply chain management issues, allowing for reduced costs and greater efficiencies.
Hospitals spend nearly one-third of their overall operating expenses on healthcare supply chain management. Buying supplies, equipment, and the latest innovations to support high-value care delivery is expensive, especially as hospitals and health systems expand their provider networks.
Data analytics tools have the potential to give supply chain leaders insights into how to reduce their costs and automate their processes. One recent analysis found that analytics could bring a potential savings of almost 18 percent.
But organizations aren't yet using them. Eighty-one percent of hospital staff in a recent Cardinal Health survey reported performing manual inventory management, and over one-half (51 percent) said the number of manual processes in the supply chain was a significant challenge.

Hospitals are eager to adopt data-driven tools that can improve management of their physical assets – for the second year in a row, data analytics was the most sought-after supply chain management capability, according to Global Healthcare Exchanges – but tight budgets often prevent investment.
"Right now is probably the toughest time in materials management because we have all our fingers in the fire," John Walker, Executive Director of Materials Management at Owensboro Health, recently told RevCycleIntelligence.com.
"We're being held to very strict supply budgets, and it's very difficult when we can't really control what the hospital needs," added the supply chain leader who manages the inventory supporting over 4,300 employees across 14 counties in Kentucky and Indiana. "There are sales reps in here all the time selling solutions. There are a lot of options out there. But at the end of the day, most of it is cost-prohibitive."
Faced with limited funds and a responsibility to ensure high-quality items are available to providers, Owensboro Health and other forward-thinking providers are getting creative about applying data to the complex problem of supply chain optimization.
For Cambridge Health Alliance, a 13-health center system with two hospitals in the Boston area, analytics give supply chain leaders the support they need to keep every service line efficient.
"We have devoted a significant amount of time and energy into developing a supply chain analytics capability, so that we can not only track and monitor our supply chain cost trend, but also so we can dig down to understand utilization, which comes in handy when we go to negotiate our contracts and help departments work on budgetary issues," said William McFarland, Senior Director of Materials Management at the Alliance.
Both Cambridge Health Alliance and Owensboro Health are newly-minted winners of ECRI's Healthcare Supply Chain Achievement award, largely due to their commitment to integrating analytics into their supply chain optimization initiatives.
As a result of these efforts, both health systems have seen significant improvements in the way they manage the critical pipeline of supplies and materials that are essential for keeping a hospital functioning each and every day.
Aggregating supply chain data to identify cost-cutting opportunities
From supply utilization and provider preference cards to prices, the healthcare supply chain generates significant amounts of data. This information is vital to department heads charged with developing and implementing sustainable and scalable supply chain optimization projects.
However, sometimes large volumes of data can end up being too much of a good thing, said providers at another ECRI Healthcare Supply Chain Achievement winner.
WellStar Health System in Georgia embarked on a supply chain transformation in 2017 to reduce its costs. The health system, with 11 hospitals and over 225 other locations, wanted to standardize product use as the system added new providers.
The supply chain optimization project required item utilization reports that broke down each supply used during a procedure and the costs associated with that supply. The reports also had to compare cost performance with other providers in the health system.
Wellstar Health System knew it had the data necessary to create these reports, but encountered challenges with appropriately synthesizing the data pulled from multiple clinical and financial systems.
"Everything that we've done to date was capable of being done in-house. Our IT resources were all we required. We didn't have to go to Epic with any special requests or tickets. But it required a lot of internal resources to clean up some of the data," Mark Charlson, VP of Surgery, explained to RevCycleIntelligence.com.
"For example, we went through and had to give a lot of items 'nurse-friendly' names because the nurses in the operating room need to complete the charge capture accurately. They need to be able to identify what is in Epic and charge it appropriately. Naming your items in the supply chain system appropriately is key to optimal charge capture and reporting," he continued.
Hospitals and health systems face nomenclature and other supply chain data issues because the different systems used by supply chain leaders to inform decision-making do not always communicate with each other, McFarland of Cambridge Health Alliance explained.
The lack of interoperability between enterprise resource planning and revenue cycle management systems impedes the Alliance's ability to create transparency between the cost and revenue sides of the organization.
Insufficient interoperability also leads to inaccurate charge capture. Providers cannot charge payers for their supply use if the chargemaster doesn't include the items.
The Cambridge Health Alliance assigned the task of data cleanup and optimization to a group of analysts who work exclusively in the supply chain department. The Alliance employs a group of four supply chain analysts who tackle supply chain data, contract management, disbursement management, and value analysis.
Owensboro Health also employs a business analyst as part of its healthcare supply chain management department. The health system collaborates with ECRI to compile relevant supply chain information into meaningful reports that can inform decision making.
The health system sends supply chain data to ECRI every month. The non-profit organization then generates a report identifying items for which the health system is paying too much.
"ECRI gives me the entire list of what I sent them – some 9,000 items – and they tell me where I rank with the other hospitals that bought that item," Walker explained.
A business analyst then works through the ECRI reports to ensure group purchasing contracts and other purchasing arrangements are accurate and have not expired. The business analyst meets with a vendor analyst at the health system, who communicates and negotiates with supply manufacturers or the group purchasing organization when the reports flag an item.
"Let's say my list from ECRI says I'm paying 10 to 25 percent too much for an item," Walker posited. "Right away, I would know that that that item fell off a contract. I can jump in the system and see that the contract expired, and immediately redo that contract."
"We haven't had anything expire in over two years without us knowing in advance," he added. "That's something that we don't struggle with anymore."
Using data to standardize products, reduce supply chain costs
Reducing provider preference items and standardizing products are common supply chain optimization goals that can quickly reduce spending.
Provider preference items make up 40 to 60 percent of total hospital supply costs, research shows.
Wellstar Health System started its standardization project in its operating rooms. Surgeons frequently use expensive equipment and medical devices. Catering to surgeon preferences for items that are already expensive can unnecessarily drive up costs.
Charlson and his team created reports in Excel that detailed each surgeon's supply utilization and costs. The reports also compared cost performance across the health system.
The supply chain team then handed paper reports to surgeons and their department heads to ensure surgeons saw the information.
Equipped with their own performance data, surgeons started to reduce supply chain costs on their own.
"In six weeks, we saw a 14 percent decline in one procedure and a 24 percent decline in supply cost for another procedure," Charlson reported. "We weren't telling the surgeons to do anything. Rather, we were telling them how they're performing and letting them make decisions off that."
But Charlson knew that his team could not sustain printing and handing performance reports to surgeons. The team would not be able to scale the standardization project throughout the system without help from an analytics solution.
"We have 20,000 of these reports a year, so we went to our IT folks and asked for a digital solution," he said. "We created a custom dashboard within our electronic medical record that interfaces with our supply chain and finance system."
The EHR dashboard allows surgeons across the health system to track their supply utilization and cost performance and compare their performance with that of their peers. Surgeons can also drill into the data of top performers at WellStar Health System to see the products they prefer, and potentially adjust their own ordering habits accordingly.
"Surgeons don't want to be underperformers," Charlson explained. "By giving them data that showed their performance and the top performer's receipt, we saw dramatic shifts in surgeon preference items toward the median or that of the top performers."
"Surgeons are self-selecting the standardized items because we established their use as best practice. In the past, it would have been very difficult to get that surgeon to make that choice on their own without providing them that physician-level data," he added.
The dashboard tool embedded in the EHR has been particularly helpful in reducing supply chain spending as the health system takes on more providers and hospitals.
"We're giving it to the physicians, as well as their department and business managers, if the department has them," said Charlson. "They can be more proactive about monitoring supply usage, especially with new physicians that come into our system. It allows new members to be more proactive about eliminating something that might be different from what we currently use. We can show them what their new partners are using."
At Cambridge Health Alliance, system-wide standardization projects are equally important for realizing significant and sustainable cost savings, McFarland explained.
"Standardization helps with contracting because it allows us to consolidate our volume and leverage our negotiations for better pricing," he said. "It's a win for both the organization and the vendor because the vendor doesn't have to carry as many lines and can order more of what we need, so they can get a better price on their end."
Supply standardization also supports patient safety efforts at health systems like Cambridge Health Alliance that operate multiple locations.
"We have been working to look across all 25 organizations to try to make sure that we're using the same products from the same manufacturer," he stated.
"Staff go between locations, so having the same product in multiple locations means that the staff can work between different locations without having to get familiar with different products. It helps with patient safety to have that standardization."
Adding a layer of quality to supply chain data
Supply chain leaders are also exploring the addition of quality data to transform the supply chain from a cost center to a value-adding resource.
"We're trying drive towards value and not just cost," Charlson emphasized. "What we would like to do in the next phase is start layering in more quality data."
"One surgeon might be less expensive than another, but maybe the surgeon that's slightly more expensive is using a specific product or technique has better outcomes or lower length of stay, which generates savings that are far beyond what the more expensive product would cost."
The materials management and supply chain leaders agreed that their health systems could realize significant downstream savings by layering quality data onto healthcare supply chain spend and utilization information.
But hospitals still need to ensure they get the right price for those high-quality items, Walker stressed.
"We don't run out there and buy the cheapest stuff on the shelf. We allow our physicians to use the best that's out there, and we just make sure that we're getting a good price on it," he said.
Artificial intelligence solutions may be able to help health systems achieve the optimal balance between up-front price and long-term outcomes, McFarland suggested.
"There's a lot of work being done in the area of clinical evidence research," he stated. "We've looked at a number of systems that actually use AI or are starting to use AI to find information that's out there on the internet. The solutions aim to help us better understand how we use materials, what we're paying for them, and what kind of outcomes people are experiencing with them."
"The problem with AI is going to be that it's at the very beginning stages," he said. "It still has a way to go. It's similar to Alexa. They think it's got the functionality of a five-year-old if you were to put it in human terms. It has to grow up and mature."
Artificial intelligence and other advanced data analytics tools are also too pricey at the moment for strict healthcare supply chain budgets to accommodate, the supply chain experts agreed.
"The AI tools are pretty expensive right now. Very expensive, as a matter of fact," McFarland commented.
As artificial intelligence technologies become more integrated into the health IT marketplace, the prices are likely to fall, putting them within reach of supply chain experts.
In the meantime, more traditional data analytics approaches will continue to show their value by identifying opportunities to trim excess spending and optimize the purchasing process.
"We're continuing to look at better ways to service the clinics and give providers and their staff more time back to focus on patients," McFarland said. "We're always looking to improve our distribution methods inside the hospitals to make sure that the right supplies are at the right place at the right time."

In a spirited defense of Barrie Kosky's widely loathed Covent Garden staging of Bizet's chef d'oeuvre, Edward Seckerson (writing in the April Gramophone) extols it for "essentially reimagin[ing] Carmen for today's sophisticated theatre audience." But does a successful Carmen demand an extensive reworking of the musical text and the introduction of an amplified narrator, speaking in French for an Anglophone audience (as Kosky's staging did), or a bow to the #MeToo surge with a Carmen who righteously offs José with a pistol (as Leo Muscato's recently did in Florence, to comparable controversy)? No, not necessarily—as Paul Curran's gripping new production for Opera Philadelphia (seen May 6) decisively illustrated: its most notable side turn from the usual Carmen course—apart from the currently de rigueur time-and-site transplant, here to "the late 1950s in a nonspecific Hispanic place," tellingly evoked by Gary McCann's designs—was José's suicide after he's dispatched Carmen. That was the cap to the most exciting staging, and performance, of the final scene I can easily pluck from my long memory—one that had me, and most of the audience around me, catching our collective breath.
Tenor Johnson provides the vocal goods in Carmen
A good part of the excitement was generated by Evan LeRoy Johnson—of whom I'd never heard prior to this Philly engagement—a tall, blond, hunky Minnesotan with a shining spinto tenor and an easy but compelling command of the stage, and a technical finesse that allowed him a laudable soft ending to a perfectly shaped Flower Song. Sometimes nervously fidgety, sometimes loadedly still, his José ranks right up there with the best I've seen and heard (and that elite list includes, chronologically, Gedda, Vickers, the young Domingo, Alagna, and Jovanovich).
His femme-fatale foil was enacted with equal conviction by Daniela Mack, who may not have provided the vocal clout of, say, Rachvelishvili or Margaine (to name two leading recent exponents of the role) but who nonetheless provided an alert, nuanced reading in which every phrase seemed newly thought and spontaneously uttered.
Kirsten MacKinnon a non-conventional Micaëla in Carmen
As her good-girl rival, Micaëla, the up-and-coming British Columbian soprano Kirsten MacKinnon looked a picture-perfect Catholic girl dressed, for Act I, in her Sunday best for a visit to her big-city beau: in another break from the Carmen-conventional route, it was she who seemed the aggressor in the relationship, with José somewhat reluctantly seconding his mother's firm stamp of approval. (His chaste response to her avidly on-the-lips kiss prompted the first of the audience's many mother-related titters.) Vocally, MacKinnon—like her leading colleagues—had a healthy-sounding vibrato to enhance her fine instrument; unlike theirs, hers occasionally made for a bumpy line, though her shining top notes and winning presence ultimately carried the day.
Adrian Timpau—a recent Lindemann Young Artist at the Met, who like MacKinnon has been making international waves—sported a vibrant sound to match his appearance on a motorbike, though an audibly pinched top made the Toreador Song sound no less challenging than it routinely did, and does, to generations of baritones (like him), bass-baritones, and basses. The supporting cast uniformly excelled, as did the chorus, with a special nod due the children of acts I and IV, singing with a sweet brio and uniformity that quite took me by surprise.
Yves Abel injects spontaneity into the score
In the pit, that well-practiced Carmen man Yves Abel—belying Seckerson's condemnation of the old-fashioned Guiraud recitatives—was surely responsible, in large part, for the lively spontaneity of the performance. I'm guessing it was he who (in tandem with Curran, of course) gave us the alluring pregnant pause before Carmen's "Tra la"s in Act I, and the queasily unsettling transition between the celebratory opening of Act IV and its tragically predestined final scene. The audience, applauding and laughing at will, may occasionally have irritated this veteran Carmen goer, but its distance from what I assume Seckerson meant by "today's sophisticated theatre audience" was a welcome vindication of Carmen's durable ability to entertain, grip, and even shock without going far afield of the composer's and his librettists' way of doing so. Thank you, Mr. Curran, and thank you, Opera Philadelphia, for gambling on so unfashionably cogent a production!

Stuff That Comes With Age
My age is showing. Sure, there are physical signs. I have more gray hair, fine lines, and a growing midsection. But all that can be changed with dye, a better moisturizer, and some Pilates. That is, if I care to change any of it. I've always thought a woman with some age on her was sexy. Also, my hair and skin are more fabulous than ever.
What concerns me is something I foolishly thought I'd escape: the what-ifs that come with turning forty.
The other day I was listening to a podcast about "Things That Make Sense When You're Older." And I listened with the ear of a woman of some years—not many, but some.
The show told stories of teens, young adults, and someone middle-aged. I nodded in the sanctimonious way that someone approaching forty does when listening to younguns.
When it came to the story from the perspective of the middle-aged, the storyteller was in her thirties. "Bullshit!" I exclaimed. Thirty is not old. She then introduced Ira Glass to discuss his life. I felt better. At fifty-seven, Glass is acceptably middle-aged.
I listened. I wanted to absorb the wisdom of someone who had the perspective that age bestows. He went on to say that he'd worked tirelessly throughout his twenties and thirties and now that he was in his fifties, he was going to try out the "friend thing." Sure he'd had friends before, but now he was actually setting aside time to see them.
Glass is an accomplished writer and producer, and there was something in that discussion that jolted me like a live wire: his stamina. He had an immense body of work to stand on. As I listened, I felt the absence of what lies beneath my feet.
I officially left the workforce when I got pregnant with my second child. I am a dropout. It's a common story for women in America.
That's not to say I didn't find things to do with my time. Between nursing a baby, potty training a toddler, volunteering at a preschool, and cooking dinner, I started a company during the momtrepreneur boom of the late 2000s. When that ended I became a marginally successful blogger writing for large family brands like Disney, PBS, etc. I branched out into video. I became a writer, producer, and host of a web series for PBS. I accomplished all of this while raising two kids.
But I feel like all of it has faded away.
I listened to Glass and the storyteller talk. The storyteller mentioned that she questions how much time she should spend working, and Glass said, "Well, it's different for you. You have kids." Yeah. Kids.
When I was younger, I thought I would create a large body of work. That I would be more successful. But it hasn't turned out that way, and now I worry that it never will. And I worry that I'll never be okay with that.
These days I feel like I don't spend enough time producing "real work." By "real work," I mean the kind that pays.
My kids are at school and I am free, yet I find myself endlessly tangled in parenting responsibilities that never allow me to concentrate fully on one task. There's an e-mail to the school's principal, a conference with my son's teacher, scheduling a tutor, making sure everyone eats well and takes their vitamins. Sure, I could leave a ten- and thirteen-year-old to their own devices, but I suspect there's a reason the latchkey generation of the 1980s led to the rise of helicopter parenting: no one likes to be left alone. We're social animals.
Some months back, in an attempt to stay relevant, I went to a meetup for female creative freelancers. I noted the ages of everyone around me. Everyone was younger. While it showed in their faces, it was clearer in their energy and optimism.
Youth has you believe if you just work hard enough, you can have it all. Age teaches you that no matter how hard you work, you can't.
The conversation turned to kids—how to juggle having them with having a career. I looked at these young women with the same look older women had given me when I was their age. It felt wrong, but I couldn't help it. Youth has you believe if you just work hard enough, you can have it all. Age teaches you that no matter how hard you work, you can't.
Most days, I fear my mind has unraveled, and I don't know if I can wind it back. I fear that what I'll leave behind me is an unspooled trail of what could have been, but never was.
These feelings are not unique to me. No generation has solved the problem of juggling career and family. If they had, women would be paid equal salaries, there would be some form of payment/support/break for parents who stay home to raise their children, and I wouldn't be writing this now.
I know my kids will ask themselves the same questions if they choose to have children of their own one day. I want them to know it's natural if they find themselves, at some point, looking back on their career choices and wondering if they were the right ones.
I've read studies that say forty-six is the age—regardless of race, religion, or culture—at which you reach peak unhappiness. After that, you question less. I'm not there yet. I'm definitely not unhappy. My life is pretty amazing. But I am contemplative. Some days I feel I've made peace with my decisions, other days I don't. I wonder how much of my feelings are wrapped up in society and how much is coming from within. Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe it's all one and the same.
I can say that at this stage of my life I finally understand and accept that there are no easy answers. And for now, that will have to satisfy me.

In a key speech in London on Monday Dr Fox will demand that the Conservatives adopt a "settled position" on Europe by autumn next year.
He will also call for the Tories to go into the next general election with their main slogan on the issue as: "Back to a common market."
Dr Fox will say a "new consensus" is emerging in Britain which points to a looser, trade-based relationship with the EU. Britain should seek to renegotiate its membership along these lines – then put this to the test in a referendum, he will argue.
"If the choice is between a looser, more economic relationship and leaving, then I would choose to stay," the former cabinet minister will tell the Royal United Services Institute. However, he will add: "If the choice is between the current trajectory towards ever-closer union and leaving, then I would choose to leave, albeit reluctantly."
Dr Fox's intervention comes just days before a key EU summit in Brussels where leaders will hold talks on a banking union for eurozone countries – another stage in the development of an "inner tier" of EU nations which excludes Britain.
The coalition is demanding special safeguards for the City if the banking union plans go ahead.
Mr Cameron will make a keenly-anticipated speech, expected to set out a framework for a referendum on Britain's future relationship with the EU, within weeks. Downing Street sources said last night it was "50-50" whether the speech would be before or after Christmas.
The timing is complicated by protracted talks on the EU's budget for 2014-20, which will restart in January. The Prime Minister has threatened to veto any deal which secures the EU a real-terms increase in its funding.
The former defence secretary's speech comes as other leading Eurosceptic Tories have begun to adopt a similar position.
Boris Johnson, the London Mayor, claimed last week the UK's membership should be "boiled down to the single market", while David Davis, the former shadow home secretary, argued last month: "We've got to bring back lots of powers, we've got to change the constitutional relationship."
In a Daily Telegraph interview, Owen Paterson, the Eurosceptic Environment Secretary, said that if the inner EU nations effectively created their own superstate, Britain "would do a lot better if we made a lot more laws locally in our own Parliament" -.
Dr Fox's speech will see him launch an attack on the Foreign Office, for whom, he will argue, "integration into the EU is virtually an article of faith". He will also point the figure at Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats by declaring: "There are those who tell that renegotiation is not an option or it cannot be done. Well, they would, wouldn't they?
"On this point, Britain needs to regain some self-confidence. As I have already said in terms of trade, our EU partners export more to us than we export to them. That puts us in a strong position."
The former defence secretary, who resigned from the cabinet last year over his links with his former aide, Adam Werritty, will call on the Prime Minister to show a clear way forward to help his party see off the United Kingdom Independence Party (Ukip), a growing electoral threat.
He will argue: "If Conservatives are to have credibility on the European issue in the eyes of voters, then we must have a settled position that is clear, concise and consistent. And we do not have an infinite length of time in which to set it out.
"We will be fighting European elections in 2014 and we cannot allow the contents of our 2015 general election manifesto to look like a reaction to that most unpredictable event.
"I believe that if we are to maximise the political benefit of this we need to have it in place by the time of the Conservative party conference in 2013."
Dr Fox will deliver his speech hours before a ceremony in Oslo at which the European Union will formally accept the Nobel Peace Prize. David Cameron is one of a minority of EU leaders who will not be present – with the government represented by Mr Clegg.
The ex-minister will argue: "As the unelected bureaucrats bask in their reflected glory in Oslo, they might want to spare a thought for the millions of Europeans, especially young Europeans, who find themselves with no other prize to show for the EU project than unemployment and fear for the future.
"Tonight's spectacle is as clear an example as you can get of the parallel universe that the Commission and the unelected political class of Brussels live within. As they take their balcony bow like some latter-day medieval monarchs, they will be in full self congratulatory mode."

Sture Bergwall was one of the world's worst psychopaths, convicted of eight murders. But then an investigator discovered he had made it all up. Why?
Two decades ago, a 41-year-old patient in a psychiatric hospital made a shocking confession. Sture Bergwall stunned his therapist by admitting he was responsible for one of Sweden's most notorious unsolved murders, that of 11-year-old Johan Asplund, who had vanished on his way to school in 1980 and whose body had never been found.
Police were called to interview Bergwall, but that was not the end of his disturbing mea culpa. Over the next few years, speaking as "Thomas Quick", an evil alter ego, he confessed to a string of other unsolved murders. His victims, he claimed, included a 15-year-old boy, a Dutch couple on a camping holiday, a nineyear-old Norwegian girl and a 23-year-old prostitute whom he had variously tortured, raped and dismembered before eating their body parts.
Police dusted down case files of unsolved murders in the hope - often fulfilled - that Bergwall might lay claim to them. By 2001 Bergwall/Quick had confessed to 30 murders, had been convicted of eight, and had gone down in history as Sweden's "Hannibal Lecter", by far the worst serial killer the country had known.
"He appeared in the news, eyes staring out," says Swedish journalist Jenny Küttim, who has known Bergwall since 2008. "Everyone was aware of him and, even though he had confessed to many murders, thought he must have done many more." Now the subject of a documentary, The Confessions of Thomas Quick, Bergwall had an explanation for his crimes: a childhood at the hands of depraved parents. Sexual abuse had turned him into a monster.
It was at this point that the story took an extraordinary turn. In 2008, journalist Hannes Råstam decided to re-examine the 50,000 pages of therapy notes, court documents and police interrogations relating to Bergwall's convictions. In tandem with Küttim, then his assistant, Råstam came to the conclusion that there was no evidence for any of them aside from Bergwall's own confessions, many of which had been made when he was taking high doses of the mind-altering tranquilliser benzodiazepine.
Råstam visited Bergwall at Säter, the psychiatric prison where he had been incarcerated since 1991 for an armed robbery, and confronted him. To his surprise, Bergwall broke down, admitting all his confessions were false.
Råstam published a bestselling book about the case in 2012 and within a year, to the huge embarrassment of the Swedish police, psychiatric establishment and judiciary, Bergwall was cleared of all the murders. The following year he was released after 23 years' confinement.
Why did Bergwall invent these confessions? According to Küttim, the key lies with his loneliness. "He was a lost soul," she says. One of seven children, he was born in 1950 in rural Sweden to strict, though not abusive, parents.
After realising as a teenager he was homosexual, he began taking drugs. In his 20s, he committed assaults on young boys and stabbed a man he picked up at a disco. After the armed robbery, which he carried out to fund his drug habit, he was deemed mentally unstable and sent to Säter. But he was unfortunate enough to arrive during the tenure of Margit Norell. A charismatic psychoanalyst, Norell believed that most people's problems were based on repressed childhood traumas. If these memories were recalled, the patient could be "cured".
Initially Bergwall could remember little about his childhood. But when he adopted his Thomas Quick alter ego, and hinted at having killed someone, the therapists fell on him with enthusiasm. Bergwall, who amazingly was allowed out on occasional day release, read up on unsolved murders in the library and then laid claim to these, embellishing his stories with details from novels. "Serial killers were in vogue and Bergwall tapped in to that," says the film's director, Brian Hill.
"I confessed to the murders because I wanted to be an interesting patient," Bergwall tells Hill. "The more grotesque the material, the more pleased the therapist was."
"He really liked the attention he received, not least from the media," says Hill. "As long as the confessions continued, he felt less of a loser." Bergwall's stories were full of holes. At the time he claimed to have committed one murder, he was actually in church at his own confirmation. When he "remembered" details of crimes wrongly, his "team" saw this as a sign not of his innocence, but of being traumatised by guilt, and encouraged him to describe the scene again and again until he finally alighted on the "correct" answer. Nevertheless, the Swedish courts found Bergwall guilty.
"I don't think the people in the clinic were bad, but they were misguided," says Hill. "They believed in repressed memory theories which have been totally discredited and when someone appeared who seemed the perfect example of their theories, they jumped on him."
When a new doctor took Bergwall off the heavy doses of benzodiazepine, his confessions abruptly stopped. "He sobered up and thought, 'What the hell have I done?' " Hill says. When Råstam confronted him, he was relieved to tell the truth, to exorcise the guilt he felt about lying to the victims' families. Since his release, he has asked them for forgiveness, but some have refused to grant it.
"I think Bergwall genuinely feels guilty about those families, but he mainly feels sorry for himself; he thinks he was a victim, too," Küttim says.
Today, Bergwall lives alone in northern Sweden. "He comes across like a kindly retired schoolteacher," Hill says. "He's very recognisable, but no one bothers him. That's the Swedish way."
Some still suspect him of having played a clever double bluff and being responsible for at least some of the murders, but generally the public treat him sympathetically. Küttim says: "He told me he thinks he's blessed that people are kind to him, that they don't think he's evil."
The Confessions of Thomas Quick is out on Friday. For details of a Brian Hill retrospective see dochouse.org

Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe design study revealed
Mercedes-Benz has teased its new X3 and X4 rival ahead of its reveal at the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show.
The German manufacturer said: "The Concept GLC Coupé is a near-production-standard study which transforms the successful GLE Coupé formula into a more compact segment. The dynamically expressive show car combines typical coupé stylistic features with the sensual and pure design idiom of forthcoming Mercedes SUVs."
The Mercedes-Benz GLC, expected to arrive later this year, will replace the outgoing GLK (which isn't currently sold in the UK).
Based on the C-class executive saloon, the GLC will feature a modular platform and an interior set to challenge rivals such as the BMW X3, X4, Audi Q5 and Land Rover Discovery Sport. It's unlikely to be offered with seven seats, however.
It'll feature the same engine line-up as the C-Class, meaning a range of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines.
It's likely that hybrid versions could follow – as well as a hot AMG version.

This is a beautiful day. Sunday is my favorite day of the week, there is no doubt about it. Church and partaking of the Sacrament, fills my souls with a 'food' I cannot obtain anywhere else.
I am reminded each week that when I was baptized I took upon myself, the name of Christ. I cannot take that lightly, I must not...
I am part of Christ's family. I promise to become like Him in all I do and say, and where I fall short, He always fills in that gap, His Atonement for me covers those weaknesses and faults if I am trying to do my best.
There is a new page on my website that Maureen wrote-- she has been an NICU nurse for many years and these are her tips for making preemie clothes. Very helpful! This little hat is one recommended by many NICU units as they stretch but will also accordian a bit to fit and stay on tiny heads.
I am looking for a pattern for some teeny 1.5" socks we could knit to match. If you know of any links to preemie socks please let me know.
Bev's Micro Preemie Beanie
NICU's love this hat since it is easy to place on babies heads, gentle and stretchy. This hat will fit a 1-1 1/2 lb preemie
Size 3 dp knitting needles (you will need 4 needles)
Scraps of soft sock yarn or baby yarn
Beanie is made in the round, and is approx 3" tall
Cast on 40 sts for 1 - 1 1/2 lb preemie-- split them onto 3 needles 14, 14, 12 sts
K2, p2 around for 24 rows
Knit 2 together around for 2 rows. Where you can't knit 2 together, just knit that 1 stitch.
End - Cut yarn leaving an 8"" tail.
Run needle and yarn through remaining sts on needle. Pull to draw shut.
A great crocheted PREEMIE HAT AND BOOTIES!

Thanks in large part to the low-cost Echo Dot, Amazon grabbed an early lead in the smart speaker space. But this spring Google hit back hard with the Home Mini, which has become the best cheap smart speaker to buy for most people. Unfortunately, shortly after its launch, a bug affecting the top touch controls in some Home Minis caused Google to disable the feature in order to prevent its device from recording audio at all times.
Image: Google
But now, after two months, Google has a partial fix for Mini's "ghost touch" issue. The company has addressed the problem via a new firmware update (version 1.29), which Gizmodo can confirm is already be available for users in Google's firmware preview channel. The update doesn't restore all of the Home Mini's touch controls though, as manually triggering voice controls using a long press on the top of the device still won't work.
However, you will be able to play or pause music, end phone calls, and silence alarms by performing a long press on either side of the device. We've reached out to Google to find out when the 1.29 firmware will be available to all users, but haven't heard back yet.
There's no word yet if the $US400 ($531) Home Max suffers from similar issues, as the speaker just went on sale in the US this week. An Australian release has not yet been confirmed, but we'll be sure to test it out as soon as we get our hands on Google's new high-end smart speaker.

Oh, but I love finding cool new things, and when it's cool news things for my dog (read 'surrogate baby') I'm even happier. And... finding a cool new things for my dog in my neighborhood, well, SCORE. I love my neighborhood (Lower Mission), not least for the fact it has some great little local shops.
One of my favorites is Green and Bear It which is one of those wonderfully eclectic local shops that is part gardening store, part gift shop, part home store and part clothing and accessories boutique. This may sound a bit schizophrenic in print, but believe me, in person it works.
But... back to the aforementioned cool thing for my dog.
Green and Bear It are carrying the coolest beaded dog collars, like, ever. Made by a Vancouver-based company called FurryBeads, the collars feature wooden beads strung on to vinyl covered stainless steel cable with a nylon webbing and plastic click fastening. According to the company's website, FurryBeads are: 'waterproof, stink proof, stain proof (do not discolor your dog's hair), massages your dogs neck as they roll, do not break or matte your dog's hair, do not tangle in long haired dogs, do not rust in salt water, look good as they age/ weather, and also make "intimidating" breeds appear more friendly and acceptable'.
The collars, $35, come in a variety of colour combinations, and in sizes small, medium and large. Muddy the Whoodle is currently rocking a teal, turquoise and grey combo that makes him look truly 'surfer dog'.

In the 2014-2015 school year we started a project of artist residencies in primary schools with the purpose of integrating within the official curriculum a series of art projects that would take place throughout the whole duration of the school year. We believed that it was essential to view the school as a space of experimentation where, by means of implementing methodologies coming from art, we can posit a vision of education that takes into account other forms of productivity other than those that schools have been subjected to in the official plans that respond to the neoliberal governmentality which has now reached all orders of life. From the outset of the project we were aware that questioning the ruling ideology that orders and structures reality as naturalised normality would have to involve a round-trip journey between the museum and the school. Its power of affectation and the learning that this project leads to would have to reach all agents and institutions involved in the process, starting with our own: the museum and its workers, rhythms, temporalities and procedures; but also the school and its students, teachers and parents as well as the artists.
From the beginning, Mercedes Álvarez undertook research, with the guidance of Aida Sánchez de Serdio, that ran in parallel to the whole work process. This publication is one of the end results of the research. It is intended not only to evaluate the institutional implications of the work developed in the schools, but is also addressed at all those people interested in undertaking collaborative projects in which artists and other agents are inserted within structures of official education in order to create their work. At no time was it among the goals of this first evaluation of the parallel research to evaluate either the activities developed by the artists nor their processes. Rather, the purpose was to focus attention on the relational structure that is set in place around this type of project, as well as to agree on protocols and institutional procedures with the goal of creating a useful tool for future projects with similar characteristics, both here at CA2M as well as in other institutions or spaces interested in art education. However, although it was not among our original goals, the ethical, political and aesthetic implications that were mobilised by this type of project would seem to be reflected in some points of the text, confirming many of the debates that rose to the surface during the art residencies.
On this occasion, the research has taken a format very close to an academic approach, but our intention is to continue exploring new forms of accompanying these processes of art education from more experimental optics. Without going any further, we are already developing three new residencies in public schools in the metropolitan area of Madrid in which we are, once again, undertaking parallel research conceived to appraise new forms of addressing projects, both from the viewpoint of contents to be evaluated and researched, as well as formats in which to undertake them, ranging from audiovisuals to personal narratives. At the end of this interesting process we hope to be able to share not just the results of the research, but also to contribute to a rethinking of the processes of evaluation and parallel research, and to challenge the values conventionally accepted as guidelines for evaluation or as standards of quality, which have more to do with a culture of the spectacle that with a critical approach that not only thinks of the processes but also of processes of thinking the processes.

Why it matters: This is the first trial of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trump campaign and its possible ties to Russian interference in the 2016 election. Mueller's team is not expected to make any reference to the words "Russians" or "collusion," per ABC News, but will instead focus on Manafort's alleged financial crimes, including those related to his political work as a lobbyist in Ukraine.

About Green Hell:
GREEN HELL is an Open World Survival Simulator set in the uncharted unique setting of the Amazonian rainforest.
You are left alone in the jungle without any food or equipment, trying to survive and find your way out. Clinging to life, the player is set on a journey of durability as the effects of solitude wear heavy not only on the body but also the mind. How long can you survive against the dangers of the unknown?
On this journey, you won't get any help from the outside world. Equipped only with your bare hands you'll have to learn actual survival techniques to build shelters, make tools, and craft weapons in order to hunt and defend yourself. Constantly threatened by the jungle you'll fight with both wild animals and tropical sicknesses. Players will also have to face the traps set by your own mind and fears that crawl in the darkness of the endless jungle.

We report a case of drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIIHA) in an adult female with cystic fibrosis (CF), complicating routine treatment of a pulmonary exacerbation with intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam. Workup revealed a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) due to red blood cell (RBC)-bound IgG and C3 and piperacillin antibodies detectable in the patient's serum. The potential influence of CF transmembrane conductance regulator mutations on the severity of DIIHA is discussed. This report illustrates the importance of early identification of DIIHA, a rare complication of a commonly utilized medication in CF.
