Improving Heart Failure Core Measure Compliance Within the Epic Health Record
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2012, April 1-4, San Diego, Calif.
Abstract number: 97599
Compliance with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) core measures is a quality target for many hospitals. The discharge summary is an approved data source for auditing compliance with CMS core measures. Our health system performed below national averages with core measure compliance for the standard six component heart failure discharge instructions (activity level, diet, followup, weight monitoring, symptom management, and accurate medication reconciliation). We aimed to improve heart failure core measure compliance by modifying the discharge summary within the EPIC electronic health record.
The EPIC electronic health record (summer 2009 release) was installed separately at each of five hospitals within a single healthcare system in a rolling fashion from November 1, 2010 to September 1, 2011. On July 1, 2011, we introduced a modified default discharge summary template into EPIC containing an interactive checklist prompting physician users to address the heart failure core measures, including discharge instructions, medication reconciliation, and use of an angiotensin converting enzymeinhibitor (ACE)/angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Core measure compliance was measured independently by trained CMS chart abstractors. Compliance rates were collected at each site preEPIC (12month baseline), postEPIC (from date of EPIC implementation at each hospital to June 30, 2011), and postEPIC with the checklist tool installed (July 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011). Results were then pooled to represent data across the entire five hospital health system.
Compliance with heart failure discharge instructions was 80.8% (668/827), 88.4% (160/181), and 91.3% (169/185) for preEPIC, postEPIC, and postEPIC with the default discharge template respectively. After the discharge template was installed, the reason for core measure noncompliance was medication discrepancy in 13 of 16 cases, and lack of followup instructions in 3 out of 16 cases. Retrospective analysis showed that in 43% (7/16) of the noncompliant charts, the physician neglected to use the default discharge summary and/or checklist tool. Compliance for the ACE/ARB core measure was 96% (262/273), 95.6% (66/69), and 98.1% (52/53) for preEPIC, postEPIC alone, and postEPIC with the checklist tool, respectively.
The introduction of EPIC has a positive impact on heart failure core measures. However, providing physicians with a standard discharge summary template including accurate medication lists and an interactive checklist further enhances compliance with heart failure core measures, particularly the discharge instruction measure and a trend toward improving ACE/ARB compliance as well. Future directions include ongoing targeted physician education on usage of the default discharge template and improving medication reconciliation.

In a lineup of siblings, first-borns traditionally shoulder the heaviest burdens. Katae has always gracefully shouldered her world, praying that God would make her a good example, always considering her brothers and sister. In our home Katae would do what needed to be done; she'd find the holes and fill them; she'd enlist her siblings to help. First-borns are often leaders that way, sympathetic to their ragged mothers. Katae was the one who cared. She never saw me as Super Woman or– most likely, never even saw me as Capable Woman. All my shortcomings hung way out in those early years when I had more littles than bigs.
Katae played soccer until homeschool status prevented her from playing at the high school level. Then she helped Bob coach. Up through the ranks of Civil Air Patrol Katae worked, becoming a Master Sargeant in just two years and hating every minute of it. In an activity even more hated, speech and debate, Katae also shined. It doesn't matter how Katae feels about a job: she gives it her all. I don't have to see her to know that she does exceptional work at QDRO (a company that divides 401K and retirement packages according to divorce decrees). At twenty years old, Katae graduated from Bowling Green State University and landed a good job in an economy when even bad jobs were scarce. At twenty-three, she's still shouldering her world gracefully.
Because they love her so, Katae's leaving felt like a mortal wound for a while. I didn't even recognize it at first. One day I realized that the kids were just… off. And Gabe said, "I miss Katae." It's the way things are supposed to be. A daughter grows up. She meets a great guy. She gets married. And we all miss her. But we're happy for her too. And when she comes for a visit, Katae's a rock star. Really, we didn't lose a daughter; we gained a son. Paul is as beloved as Katae. He brings a playful spirit into every pursuit. Can I still cry when, after a lovely visit, they get on their motorcycle and leave?
When Bob and I went away on our 20th anniversary cruise, it was Katae and Paul who took Gabe to his swim meet so he didn't have to miss it. Anyone who has experience in swim meets knows we asked a lot of Katae and Paul, like six hours' worth of stifling hot, chlorine-asphyxiated swim meet on one of their two weekend days. I trust Katae to be kind to her little brother. I trust that she loves people the best she knows how, that her intentions are good. Katae has always been a kind spirit. Sleek and soft and beautiful, like her many cats, is Katae.

You shouldn't try taking care of your plumbing water line issues by yourself.

Check out my updated post on this lipstick here!
As some of you may know, Sephora's birthday gift this year is from Makeup Forever. The gift includes mascara and Rouge Artist N9 lipstick. (Side note: if you haven't signed up for Sephora's beauty insiders program, consider it. It is free to sign up, you can earn points toward miniature sized rewards and every year on your birthday you can stop by the store for a free gift). Today, I'll be reviewing the lipstick.
N9 is described by MUFE as "copper pink." I'm not too sure what copper pink should look like, but this lipstick appears red. It's not a bright, look-at-me red, but rather a slightly rosier than natural lip red.
I find the quality to be pretty nice. The texture is soft, neither drying nor moisturizing and non-sticky. It applies evenly straight out of the tube and does not bleed. It wears for several hours, but does not hold up well against eating or drinking. If you were to buy the full size version, it would cost $20.00 and I find the quality on par with the price.
Will you be trying this lipstick either from Sephora or on your own? Let me know in the comments below.

My infatuation with pomegranates continues. Today I was ready to prepare another. Apparently, this is what happens when pomegranate goes "bad". It looks like a rabbit with a serious digestive problem left gooey bunny turds inside my pomegranate.

Lost in Translation
Posted in Life of the Lintee Bean, tagged card, holidays, language on December 18, 2013| 2 Comments »
Unfortunately, my ability to understand my cleaning lady has no relation to the importance of the information she is trying to convey. For example, I struggled to understand that I could reschedule my cleaning or that I forgot to leave her a check once. However, I understood perfectly that her mother is coming from Poland to visit and it will be the first time she's seen her in ten years.
She gave me a lovely box of chocolates and a card.
I am going to guess this says something wishing me a happy holiday and new year… or something along those lines. I have no idea.
Last year I got a similar card. I took it to work. I asked a Polish coworker about it. The conversation went something like:
Me: Can you read this? Do you understand what it says?
Coworker (examines card carefully): Yes
Me: Um… can you read it TO ME?
Coworker: Blah-blah-blah in Polish
Me: Um… okay. Can you translate it for me? I mean, can you tell me what it says in English?
Coworker (thinks): Blah-blah birthday of baby Jesus… happiness in year ahead….
Me: Great! Thank you! I basically just wanted to know if it said "I hate you, I hate cleaning for you, you are an evil witch and I hope you rot."
Coworker: Um… no… it does not say that.
Coworker does not appreciate my twisted sense of humor. That's okay, many people don't. I understand this.

I've been neglecting my blog. However, I have recently cleared my schedule of more trivial activities like Fitocracy (a social media site for fitness tracking, etc), yarn swapping, working out, etc, so I hope to have more time for writing. Perhaps I'll even start a new category for "random thoughts of the Lintee Bean". We'll see.
There have been a lot of advances in television viewing in recent years, at least for me. Rather than plopping in front of the TV and watching whatever happens to be on, no matter how lame, now I can choose from shows recorded on my digital video recorder, shows on NetFlix, Hulu, iTunes, etc. Now, I don't really "watch" because along with television advances have come Internet advances and other life changes, and I'm usually watching TV while also on the Internet and/or writing and/or playing with yarn.
Fugly custom yarn dolls

Little Old Neighbor Man II
Posted in Life of the Lintee Bean, tagged man, matchmaker, neighbor on May 16, 2013|
Years ago, I wrote about some of my adventures with my little old neighbor man. I haven't seen him in years, as I changed which route I take walking to the train station. However, there's no shortage of little old men in my neighborhood.
I think my "relationship" with Little Old Neighbor Man II started almost a year ago. It started innocently enough. I was walking home from work one night and saw a little old man watering his flowers. I waved hello, and told him that his flowers were lovely.
As seems par for the course in my world, the story does not end there.
'Roid rage
Posted in Life of the Lintee Bean, tagged duel, exercise, fitness on April 18, 2013| 2 Comments »
Back in March, I mentioned I had started a second duel with midnightyell – the 6'5″ much-younger-than-me man from Texas. This one was a "free-for-all", the most Fitocracy points wins – every activity counts. At that time, I held a somewhat comfortable lead of 9,223 to 7,743. Things were going well, and I admit I was a tad smug knowing how many points I could rack up using barbell complexes. Things appeared to be going my way this time around, unlike the push-up duel fiasco.
Then something very bad happened. Well, bad for me. Great for midnightyell. Midnightyell apparently discovered strongman exercises like tire flipping and sled pushing. These things are worth a LOT of points. Also, I cannot do these things as I am little and not very strong. I was in trouble.
Behaving rashly
Posted in Life of the Lintee Bean, tagged allergies, hives on April 7, 2013| 9 Comments »
I've decided I better write this while I can. If it's possible to die from whining, I may do so. My ex-boyfriend says if anyone can die from whining, I can. It's rather comforting he has faith in me.
It all started innocently enough, if that's how it started. Despite the number of hours I've spent watching educational shows like "House", "The Walking Dead", etc., I'm not a medical professional. However, assuming it may be related, it started with what I thought was "dry, itchy skin" maybe six months ago. My forehead and ears were itchy, dry, and flaky. I chalked it up to my visits to the gym and the perspiration I put out there, and switched to a softer cloth for sweat-dabbing.
Things didn't improve, they got worse. I decided maybe it was my new facial cleanser, and went back to my old one. I added a thicker moisturizing cream at night.
I continued to blissfully ignore any signs of something more insidious, until a couple of weeks ago. This was when that "dry flaky skin" became more obviously HIVES. Raised nasty bumps near my eyes and on my hands. Given my vast medical knowledge garnered from movies like "Contagion" and "Outbreak", I knew this was NOT RIGHT. I made an appointment with my doctor.

Completely Unexpected
The Secretary of Labor had been busy writing an important report when she received a call from the White House informing her of a cabinet meeting to be held that evening. She would have to fly from New York to D.C. in order to attend. She asked the White House switchboard operator what was the matter: "Why the cabinet meeting tonight?" The operator replied, "Just the war, what's in the paper," and hung up. There had been war in Europe since 1939 and in the Far East since 1937. What war could the operator have meant?
No one at the Labor Secretary's club had heard anything. She asked the taxi driver who took her to the airport if he had any news. He replied, "They said on the radio there was a shooting somewhere." At the airport she met the Vice President and another member of the cabinet. They did not know much about the situation.
They quietly discussed the reason for their summons. At the last two cabinet meetings there had been much concern regarding the size and destination of the Japanese fleet. The Navy thought the Japanese might be headed to Singapore. The Army was worried about the Philippines. The President had speculated: "They might be going north. That's always a possibility. To cut the Russian supply lines now would hurt the European war. Perhaps they'll entrench themselves further in the northern waters."
The military was concerned about the Far East. The President was worried the Japanese might appear in the Bering Strait. Tonight, when the cabinet assembled, he would inform them the Japanese had done something completely unexpected.

Presented by Randal Boutilier RGD, Committee Chair at RGD's Annual Meeting on April 29, 2019
Achieving the RGD designation is a fantastic accomplishment in a designer's career. It signifies a personal commitment to professional development and a public commitment to honest and transparent practices to the larger community.
This lofty statement is put to the test on a regular basis through all of our committee work – and none of it would be possible without the tireless efforts of all the RGD staff – and in particular Hilary and Heidi. We truly could not get where we are without them here to raise the bar on our efforts, and offer a friendly sounding board to new ideas and connections. Our committee also benefits from the advisory role of Rod Nash RGD, whose input ensures that the finer details of our decisions are followed through.
RGD Certification pushes designers out of their comfort zone. It takes a bit of tenacity to read the test materials. It takes a bit of introspection to explain design decisions. It takes a bit of courage to show creative work to other professionals in your field.
Fortunately, the Certification Committee is here to ensure that applicants don't struggle needlessly in the process. Our group is always reviewing the path to RGD certification to ensure it is fair, relevant and rewarding.
2018 has seen our committee move from strength to strength – and we've continued our progress on the three fronts that touch the certification process:
- Clearly explaining the Certification Process
- Improving supports for applicants
- Integrating RGD's Portfolio Evaluation Standards with the GDC
Julian Brown RGD of On The Chase has continued his masterful work on our Certification Excuses series. His most recent creation shines a light on the completely virtual process, which makes access more convenient for applicants across the country. This year will see another revealed in the series, and our committee is busy selecting from a range of messages that can be adapted in a humourous way.
Virtual RGD Certification info sessions are held by Heidi, using a template that picks up on the style of the application. This improved presentation strives to bring clarity to the process, and comes with promotional offers and incentives. We are discovering a positive uptake on applications with these offerings, and in 2019/2020 we hope to amplify these promotional offers in future communications.
The virtual info session encourages candidates to dig into more detail on the RGD website, which now has clearer language about the steps it takes to become certified. The RGD website also now features a set of application examples from successful candidates. In posting these, we want to show the various ways designers explain their work, and help demystify the application form for potential candidates.
One of our goals in 2019/2020 is to create a simple checklist for potential candidates to follow – and explore ways to make this information more visual in nature. Additional support will continue to be offered through our Slack Study Group initiative – developed tirelessly by Christina Whitfield RGD. What was once an in-person series of group meetings has been transformed into a digital space – both to expand our reach across Canada and to be less site-specific. While the pick-up to-date has been modest, we hope that integrating our study group into RGD's wider Slack presence will help enhance the experience for certification candidates.
Another one of our goals in the past year was to add new sections to the online test – expanding our reach in areas of UI/UX, environmental design, design education, and design management. In short, we didn't achieve this goal because this task is a lot harder than it sounds – but rest assured that this goal is still on our radar for 2019/2020.
Over the past year, the committee has reviewed many different books. Greg Dubeau RGD and Jennifer Laing RGD have each taken the lead on thoroughly reviewing materials before the wider group offers input. A number of contenders fell short, but I am pleased to say that we've identified a suitable book that is centred on UI/UX. Victor Szeto RGD, one of our most recent committee members, has offered a selection of environmental design books that will follow a similar rigorous review process. We are still hoping to get other references in the realms of design education and design management, and are open to any and all recommendations from the wider RGD community.
One key section of the online test is about accessibility – something that all designers need to understand moving forward. To date, RGD's information was shared through 2 separate handbooks – each focused on either print or digital design. Over the past year, Adam Rallo RGD has played a key role as editor of a unified and comprehensive accessible design reference source – Access Ability 2. Eric Forest RGD and James Kuo RGD have each stepped up to this rewriting challenge, ensuring that all of the information is accurate and meets best practices. This comprehensive text now covers print, digital, and environmental design, and offers insight into additional considerations such as cognitive load. The print version is on track to be revealed at DesignThinkers Vancouver, with an expanded digital edition to be launched as well.
With all of these new and developing source materials to consider, our committee works to review the online test for clarity, consistency, and relevance to the source texts. Megan Oldfield RGD is deep in this effort, wading through the questions to identify those that need refinement. She is also working through these questions in the interest of another of our 2019/2020 goals – developing a sample online test. The online sample text will be offered at a fee for those who wish to experience the testing process without the added pressure of a grade. The committee feels that that this will give comfort to those who are new to online testing – and emphasize our commitment to a transparent process.
This report would not be complete without mentioning the progress that has been made toward aligning the professional Certification Processes of RGD and GDC- and we are a few steps closer to setting common standards that will unify the professional design industry in Canada. Over the past year, Hilary Ashworth and Stüssy Tschudin RGD have worked with GDC's Executive Director and Certification on a lengthy review process to update our certification standards. In the fall of 2018, we started to test our new standards with our certification reviewers – and asked that they fill in 2 versions of the application form for comparison. We are pleased to say that the new standards result in the same acceptance level as in previous years, and look forward to advising GDC members on our reviewer process in the year to come.
Once upon a time, RGD had 3 different application forms, and our work with the GDC has distilled this down to 1 form. Admittedly, this has caused a little bit of confusion when reviewing candidates with a design management or a design education background – especially since many don't have a formal portfolio of design work to share. Over 2019 and 2020, our committee is reviewing this concern along with our reviewers to see how these unique cases can be handled within our unified framework.
Presented by recorded video by Randal Boutilier RGD at RGD's AGM on April 25, 2018
Certification is the lifeblood of RGD – and it is a hefty portion of the workload for RGD staff. From making presentations about the process and fielding questions, to organizing portfolio reviewers, to providing candidates with test results, Heidi takes the lead in keeping momentum for those who are going through the certification process while Hilary and our Committee focus on making the process more fair, relevant and valuable. I cannot begin to explain the work of the Committee without thanking them all for their constructive judgement through a year of exciting change.
2017 was a busy year for the Committee – seeing progressive change on three fronts that align with the whole certification process:
- Promotion of the Certification Process
- Streamlining the Certification Application
- Integrating RGD's Portfolio Evaluation Standards with the GDC
The promotion of the certification process took place in two ways – with the creation of brief promotional videos and simplifying certification information through a virtual presentation.
We must thank Julian Brown RGD of On The Chase, whose brief videos help breakdown so-called certification myths. These tongue-in-cheek videos touch on the notions that certification is too difficult and too specialized in its focus. By tackling the daunting idea of certification with a touch of humour, we hope to broaden the appeal for those who are pursuing their professional RGD designation.
The RGD Certification overview presentation was updated with a fresher design and a co-presentation format with RGD staff and Committee Members. The bulk of these presentations are delivered virtually, and promotional offerings that waive application fees are getting pickup from those who attend. Work continues to refine our presentation deck, with the goal of showing a new presentation at DesignThinkers in Toronto this fall.
The application process has been vastly improved through the efforts of Umar Shahzad – who designed a much more efficient and stylish fillable PDF form, allowing us to shift RGD's application submission from a clunky web-based interface. This updated format holds a visual standard that goes beyond the digital offering, and gives reviewers an all-access document to review the work and thoughts of those who are taking their first step on the certification journey.
Once people have gone through the initial application, they are ready to take part in the online test. RGD's Certification Process went completely virtual in 2015 – and since then our committee has ensured that the process remains accessible and fair. Feedback from those who have gone through the process is reviewed by the committee on a monthly basis – and adjustments continue to be made to section timing, clarity of information about the testing process, and the update of questions that prove difficult for candidates.
The online test will be an area of significant development in the coming year. Professional designers are being called up on to have significant knowledge and understanding in the areas of research, digital integration and strategy. In an effort to broaden the relevance of the RGD designation to managers and others, the Committee is reviewing additional optional sections for the test. Thanks to a growing interest from select authors, we plan to develop new questions and study materials to broaden the reach of the testing into areas that focus on Strategy, UX and Design Management.
In the certification process, the online test is followed by a ½ hour portfolio evaluation. Even with over 30 Certified RGDs, it can be difficult to synchronize the schedules of 3 working professionals for all of our virtual portfolio presentations. For that reason, we continue to grow our numbers, with a consistent desire to keep a fair gender balance, and attract more reviewers whose expertise are in fields outside of traditional graphic design.
We certainly cannot present a report without mentioning the progress that has been made toward aligning the professional Certification Processes of RGD and GDC. Working closely with GDC's Executive Director and Certification Chair, Hilary and Stüssy have taken the lead on this, with our Committee providing in-depth comparisons of our two portfolio application forms and evaluation processes.
The discussions are at a critical stage as we advance towards the GDC's Annual Meeting in June, when their National Representatives will vote on many of our proposals. But with the continued focus on open dialogue and collaboration between our organizations, we feel very close to setting common standards that will unify the professional design industry in Canada.
This has been my first half-year on the Committee, and I wouldn't have been able to showcase these accomplishments without our thoughtful and active members. Thank you to all of the Committee: RGD's President, Stüssy Tschudin, and my fellow Committee Members Greg Dubeau, James Kuo, Jennifer Laing, Umar Shahzad, Christina Whitfield, Fe Wyma, who unfortunately has just had to step down from the Committee, and our newest Member Eric Forest. Also, to our Advisory Committee Rod Nash and Adam Rallo. Your perspectives and sage guidance has been tremendous for raising the bar on the standards and value of the RGD designation.

Parsons Students Win UNICEF Wearables for Good Challenge
When Amanat Anand, Junho Byun, Yogita Agrawal and Shubham Issar, BFA Product Design '15, began researching their idea for socially engaged product, they made two crucial discoveries: children to make love arts and crafts, but they hate to clean up.
Kids will be kids, but bad hygiene shouldn't be taken lightly. Consider this: Each year, children around the world collectively lose 443 million school days because of infectious illnesses which are spread, in part, by lack of personal cleanliness.
To confront this pressing issue, the Parsons alums designed SoaPen, a wearable and portable "soap crayon" that promotes hand washing habits among children by tapping into their passion for creativity. With SoaPen, kids can draw on themselves and each other—then, they can use that same soap to wash up.
The innovation in wearable technology and the designers behind it recently won the prestigious 2015 UNICEF Wearables for Good Challenge, a competition that challenged members of the global maker community "to design wearable and sensor technology that serves people in resource constrained environments," according to the UNICEF website. The designers received a $15,000 "idea incubation prize" granted by challenge partners UNICEF, ARM and frog, as well as a mentorship.
"Its simple design is highly scalable and low-cost, which will allow the product to reach as many hands as fast as possible," the students said in an interview with UNICEF. "SoaPen can be recreated anywhere in the world to help promote good hygiene through hand-washing in communities across the globe."
Designers first took the product to municipal schools in Mumbai, India. There, they were met by enthusiastic children—and thankful teachers—who used the product to play and practice healthy hygiene.
"It was heartwarming to see the children rub off every part of the drawing on their hands, and even return to wash their hands for a second time if they found remnants of the soap drawing," the designers recalled.
But the lessons in cleanliness aren't confined to the classroom: children take home what they learned at school, which, in turn, educates parents.
"Working on SoaPen made us realize the importance of a two-directional 'awareness flow' from parents, teachers and elders to children and vice versa, in both urban and rural areas," the designers said. "We believe that a grave problem can be solved much faster by making the solution fun and not-so-serious, and we're excited to innovate further with this in mind."

Curvometre– Edition 1 was held on March 9th & 10th, 2019 at Art Buzz Studios, Okhla- an Iniative by Ishita Bhattacharya
About Curvometre– Plus size is all the rage and to not leverage that rage would be criminal! We understand that the plus size clothing market caters to more than 50% of the fashion market and yet very little has been done to put that on the fashion forefront.
So we took up the challenge and we present to you Curvometre™, India's 1st ever Plus size convention, over the Women's day weekend, to celebrate sisterhood that comes in all shapes and sizes. The event will have pop up shops from many other homegrown brands as well as workshops and panel discussions to make every participant feel like the 'Queen' they rightly are.
You would understand and echo our sentiment that we want to instill the idea of being the change makers and rather than waiting for that miracle to happen, bringing in the change ourselves. Obesity isn't cool, we understand that but that gives no one the license to be body shaming others, neither does it call upon bullying. Of the two, obesity and body shaming, body shaming is most certainly the bigger villain.
There being no existing IP (intellectual property) to tackle the plus size styling and women being more prone to body shaming than men (studies actually show this, trust us), we kick off our 1st edition of the first-ever plus-size convention of India, Curvometre™ over the women's day weekend. This is in addition to the fact that women are also the trendsetters in terms of Fashion (undoubtedly) more than men, as they dare to pave the way, most men shy away from experimenting (But of course, not everyone is Ranveer Singh! after all).
The event was attended by leading models plus size women who have won many awards and titles in the past. The event also had many panel discussions on health and fitness. Fitness expert Shweta Rai Bajaj graced the sessions with her presence and spoke about fitness and the meaning of fitness. Jeesha Chowdhry, Swati Chawla, Leena Biswas who are proud winners of Plus Size beauty paegants were also present. Plus size Models like Dipti Bharwani also took part in the discussion on whether fat is the new fit. Bodyshaming was one of the main topics of the discussion too.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Anderson Indians are wasting no time putting their own feet to the fire.
For the second time in the opening week, Anderson fell on the road to a team with high postseason aspirations, this time dropping a 91-57 decision at Lawrence North on Saturday afternoon.
The Wildcats improved to 2-0, while the Indians — who lost at Pike earlier in the week — are now 0-2.
"Yes, we've got a tough schedule, but that's only going to prepare us for the mid and late part of the season," Anderson coach Shannon Cleckley said. "That's what we have to see, the big picture. We want to get better each time, and even from the first game to the second game I saw improvement."
Lawrence North, 19-5 a year ago, had four players score in double figures, led by sophomore Jayla Smith with 22 points and a fifth player, junior Lauren Gunn, grab 15 rebounds and hand out five assists. The scoring bursts to open the first and second quarters built a substantial halftime advantage.
The Indians fell behind 15-2 to open the game before trailing 25-12 at the end of the first quarter. But the Wildcats then started the second quarter on a 16-2 run and took a 49-23 lead into the locker room.
"We came out a little shell shocked. They jumped on us and rattled us early," Cleckley said. "Once we calmed down and realized we can play, that started to sink in. We've got to do it for four quarters. (Lawrence North) is a top-level team, and we're trying to get to that point. We're not over the hump yet, but (there are) a lot of positives."
Part of the problem early for Anderson was the absence of sophomore forward Tyra Ford. The leading returning scorer for the Indians turned an ankle in the first quarter and did not return in the first half.
She did start the second half and opened the scoring with a 3-point shot, showing no ill effects of the ankle and scoring 18 of her team-high 20 points in the second half — including three triples.
"One of our go-tos goes out, doesn't even play in the second quarter, so now we have to adjust," Cleckley said. "That's what we've got to do, other people have to step up in new roles. But once she got in there, straight beast, and that's what we expect from her."
Ford and senior Staisha Hamilton, who added 17 points and four assists, each scored five points during a 10-2 run to close out the third quarter for the Tribe.
Junior Erin Martin chipped in eight points and four assists for Anderson while sophomore Karlee Goodwin led the Indians with seven rebounds.
In addition to Smith, junior Katie Davidson scored 18 for the Wildcats while juniors Kristian Young and Justis Odom added 16 and 10 points respectively.
The Indians will finally get an opportunity to play at home when they host Fishers on Wednesday for a 7:30 p.m. tip.

Project: Various
With We Style Homes, some clients need help on only some rooms in their home, whether it be kitchen, lounge, bathrooms, office space, home bars to new window dressing and soft furnishings.
In all of these projects we followed the clients brief to create exactly what they wanted, through CAD programmes and mood boards the client was a part of the design process.
We Style Homes collaborated professionally and to an extremely high standard with us and our architect. They demonstrated a unique understanding of our lifestyle and taste, as well as being wonderful and inspiring people to spend time with. They understood how we worked hard our whole lives and now wanted to live like royalty, and showed us high end Italian furniture and lighting that we had never seen before. Their spatial planning was so well thought out, allowing there to be space for entertaining whilst still being the right amount of seating, they made our dream home a reality, we can't thank them enough.

Kate Beckinsale is proud that her husband and ex get on
Not only does Kate Beckinsale have the looks and talent to be a Hollywood star, she also has a husband and an ex who get along, which is handy when the ex is the father of her daughter.
Beckinsale, 34, has been talking about her ex Michael Sheen, with whom she had daughter Lily in 1999, and her current husband Len Wiseman.
And they don't have the sanest relationship to start with. Kate and Michael both starred in the 2003 film 'Underworld', which is where she met Len, who was the director.
She says, "I've been very lucky to have two marvellous men in Len and Michael, they've got no awkward feelings about parenting Lily and working things out.
"It's so sad when adults can't find it in themselves to get along for the sake of a child. I'm very proud of both of them that they haven't let any potential awkwardness or strangeness affect our little family. I know some women who aren't so fortunate and whose children suffer as a result."

Exactly what is Ketosis?
Ketosis Forces your body to get its energy by burning fat instead of carbs.
When you've reached a state of Ketosis, your body begins instantly burning fat for its energy instead of carbs.
Carbs are not the optimum energy source for your body, so till we reach a state of ketosis, we are normally left sensation tired, under tension and low-energy by the end of each day.
Fat Is the body's optimal energy source. So when your body reaches ketosis you'll discover your energy increases, and you'll feel more focused than ever before, even late into the day.
Ketosis Food List
Why aren't more individuals in a state of Ketosis?
The typical western world diet plan today tends to include enormous quantities of carbohydrates. Additionally, for several years customers have been demanding low fat and fat complimentary variations of foods.
Through our diet plans, our bodies have actually been conditioned to burn carbohydrates for energy instead of fat. As pointed out previously, this can have major repercussions to our feeling of well being.
So just begin eating more fat and less carbohydrates?
Regrettably, it's not constantly this simple. Given that your body has actually been programmed for many years to store fat and burn carbs, we normally need some assistance to kick-start the procedure of ketosis into high gear.
This assistance is available in the form of a chemical compound called Beta-hydroxybutyrate (likewise called BHB). BHB informs your body to start the procedure of evolving into a ketosis state.
How does my body get BHB?
While your body produces really small quantities of BHB, it doesn't produce huge enough amounts to quickly result in a ketosis state. Therefore many individuals decide to supplement BHB in their diets. Purefit Keto is a popular and highly reliable dietary supplement used to accomplish this,.
What are the benefits of Purefit Keto?
Purefit Keto will assist you to reach a state of ketosis much quicker than would be possible by diet plan alone. It'll help you to obtain slim, enhance your energy level, improve your state of mind, and feel healthy and positive again.
Ketosis Food List
Who is Purefit Keto for?
Purefit Keto is perfect for both males and females that wish to reach a state of ketosis quicker, feel better and look better.
Is Purefit Keto Safe?
Purefit Keto features an unique mix of active ingredients. Purefit Keto is both safe and practical. It provides an easy and safe way to reach a state of ketosis without suffering the unfavorable negative effects of a normal ketogenic diet.
Can I consume whatever I want while taking Purefit Keto?
When you remain in a state of nutritional ketosis, staying in ketosis is as basic as preserving a keto-friendly diet, plenty of workout, and enjoying all the benefits Purefit KETO has to use.
For best outcomes, you'll wish to eat a diet that consists mainly of fat, with moderate protein consumption and a small amount of carbs. It's advised to aim to take in a diet of 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrates while taking the supplement.
How do I start with Purefit Keto?
