CAMDEN, NJ – Cooper University Hospital today announces collaboration with healthcare providers Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center and Virtua Health to create an exchange giving doctors access to medical records of patients who provide consent.
The exchange allows doctors to share health records, access past diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment to patients across the three major health systems.
“We are very excited about this new development, the first of its kind to be implemented in the state,” said Dr. Carolyn Bekes, Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President for Medical Affairs at Cooper University Hospital. “This breakthrough also hopes to cut costs by reducing unnecessary tests and allow us to better manage patient care.”
Health data will be gathered and made available through Noteworthly Medical Systems based in Cleveland. Patients who wish to be part of the system must give permission and only 200 doctors and caregivers will be issued passwords to access the system.
“In order to provide the best possible care, every physician and every health system wants as much information as possible,” said Dr. Anthony Mazzarelli, medical doctor of the emergency department at Cooper. “This tool is long overdue.”

Oklahoma City, OK – DPT Productions applauds the signing of House Bill 1716 yesterday by Governor Wendell Ogelthorpe at the State Capitol, a measure that seeks to boost film and music production in the state.

FAA stands firm as an unbiased enforcer of rules as bill banning lengthy tarmac delays is signed into law
The legislation imposes a 3-hour time limit rule on tarmac delays for aircrafts
The legislation imposes a 3-hour time limit rule on tarmac delays for aircrafts
WASHINGTON, DC – The Federal Aviation Administration today begins implementation of a three-hour rule on tarmac delays as President Barack Obama signs a new bill that aims to protect consumer rights.
The new bill forces airlines to deplane passengers after three hours and requires them to provide food and water, operating restrooms and any necessary medical attention to passengers within two hours of waiting while inside the aircraft.
“We are accountable and must ensure the safety of airline passengers,” said Michael Huerta, FAA Acting Administrator. “With the new law, airlines must live up to their obligation to their customers and we are here to make sure they do so.”
Due to the high incidence of flight delays in recent months in which passengers were stranded on ground aboard aircrafts, there is increasing momentum in Congress and among business and consumer groups in support for the legislation. Just last month, passengers were forced to remain inside an aircraft overnight in Rochester, MN.
The new rule is a setback for airline companies, who have strongly opposed the mandatory three-hour rule, as it will cause forced flight cancellations and increase costs for the airline.
“We will not be very popular with the airlines, but the FAA will follow strict compliance of the new law,” said Huerta. “We will impose fines if necessary, as passengers must not be subjected to such inhumane conditions.”
