Industry, Academic, and Government Partnerships The center is responsible for promoting and protecting the public's health and economic interest by ensuring that the nation's food supply is safe, sanitary, wholesome, and honestly labeled, and that cosmetic products are safe and properly labeled. The center oversees a vast food industry that includes more than 30,000 U.S. food manufacturers and processors and over 20,000 food warehouses. The economic importance of the American food industry is enormous. It contributes about 20 percent of the U.S. Gross National Product, employs about 14 million individuals, and provides an additional 4 million jobs in related industries. In FY 1996, FDA spent over $221 million on food and cosmetic safety activities. The center's primary responsibilities include: the safety of food and color additives seafood Hazard Analysis Critical Point (HACCP) regulations regulatory and research programs to address health risks associated with foodborne chemical and microbiological contaminants regulations and activities dealing with the proper labeling of foods (e.g., ingredients, health claims)

Extractions: (Commentary appearing in the Chicago Tribune on March 29, 2002.) When Ronald Reagan fell at his home last year, it brought to our attention a growing public health problem. Falls caused or led to 15,400 deaths in America last year. More than half of all falls occur in the home or on home premises. But the fall that ended former Washington Post Co. chairman Katharine Graham's life happened in a public place. Both Reagan and Graham were over 80 years of age at the time of their falls. While all age groups are vulnerable, 60 percent of fall-related deaths occur among people 65 and older. Falls are the No. 1 cause of injury-related death for males 80 and older and for females 75 and older. One-fourth of those who sustain a hip fracture die within one year and another 50 percent never return to their prior level of mobility or independence. This growing national problem has not gone unnoticed in Washington. Sen. Tim Hutchinson (R-Ark.) and Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.), strongly supported by the National Safety Council (NSC), have introduced the bipartisan Elder Fall Prevention Act of 2002 in the Senate and the House. At a press conference introducing the bill in February, Hutchinson said, "The Elder Fall Prevention Act will provide needed resources for education, research and demonstration projects aimed at reducing the risk of falls, identifying vulnerable populations and preventing repeat falls."

Extractions: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Chicago, IL The National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF), the Renal Physicians Association (RPA) and The Forum of ESRD Networks (Forum) are announcing the launch of Collaborative Leadership Teams to reduce healthcare error. Four Teams have been formed as a beginning of Phase II of the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Patient Safety Initiative. These teams will focus on four primary tasks: conducting surveys of ESRD professionals and patients in order to better understand what errors are most prominent in renal care; defining terms in order to create a classification system of healthcare error in ESRD; creating an educational tool box and conducting training for ESRD leadership; and determining best practices in ESRD care in order to reduce error. These Collaborative Leadership Teams grew out of the earlier, agenda-setting phase I of the project. Once these teams have developed implementation plans, the next step involves using the work products to increase patient safety directly within the renal care community. A national steering committee has been formed, and together with the Collaborative Leadership Teams, will facilitate the dissemination and adoption of the innovations devised by the Teams.

Extractions: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1996 (202) 616-2771 TDD (202) 514-1888 JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ISSUE REVISED ANTITRUST GUIDELINES FOR THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY Guidelines Promote Innovative Health Care Arrangements to Provide Consumers with Better Health Care Services WASHINGTON, D.C. The Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission today released revised antitrust guidelines for the health care industry to let health care providers and hospitals know how they can enter into joint ventures and other collaborative activities without violating the antitrust laws. The newly-revised guidelines provide significantly expanded discussions of the antitrust principles that the Department and FTC apply when analyzing physician network joint ventures and multiprovider networks. The guidelines reflect and promote the continued emergence of innovative health care arrangements to meet consumer demand for cost-effective, high-quality health care services. The statements make clear that physician network joint ventures may be procompetitive and expand consumer choice. Such arrangements that offer consumers significant efficiencies and are reasonably necessary to achieve them will be reviewed under a flexible analysis rather than viewed as naked price fixing agreements, the Department said. The new statements were announced today at a press conference held by Anne K. Bingaman, Assistant Attorney General for the Department's Antitrust Division, and Robert Pitofsky, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission.

Progress has been made in the Roll Back Malaria initiative, the Stop TB Initiative with its focus on the DOTS strategy and the synchronized national immunization days", says Dr Uton Muchtar Rafei, WHO Regional Director for South-East Asia. Presenting his report on the highlights of the work of WHO in the South-East Asia Region to the Regional Committee, WHO's governing body in the region, Dr Uton said that while health systems in respective countries are being strengthened, the private sector's role is also steadily increasing. He cautioned that national authorities need to ensure that the poor are not exploited in the process of privatisation. Dr Uton highlighted WHO collaborative activities to support and strengthen health development in the Region. Intercountry cooperation in disease control activities, particularly along border areas, was strengthened, for control of malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. However, Dr Uton observed that with 5.5 million people estimated to be infected with HIV, the Region was heading towards becoming the hub of the global epidemic. Member countries, however, are aware of the situation and are taking steps to prevent and control STDs through public awareness, enhanced blood safety, and an increased emphasis on surveillance and research.

Extractions: The Boston Consortium is pleased to announce the formation of a new group to bring together individuals who manage campus arts programs at our member college and universities. Burl Hash, Director of the Richard W. Sorenson Center for the Arts at Babson College, approached the Consortium with the idea to form this group. The first meeting of arts managers took place on December 8 and interest for continuing to meet is positive. Participants shared information about their schools' arts programs and began to identify potential opportunities to collaborate in the future including: developing artist-in-residency programs and workshops; exploring methods to create linkages between the arts and higher education; discussing potential block booking or co-presenting opportunities, and establishing vehicles for ongoing communication (web pages, bulletin board, discussion groups). Next Meeting: To be announced In November, over 20 telecom professionals from Consortium member schools participated in an informative two-day workshop on IP Convergent Networks and Internet Telephony and Voice Over Packet Networks at the Wellesley College Club. Participants learned about the opportunities for voice, data and video running on a single IP network, and explored the enabling technologies, standards, and applications for IP Telephony and voice-over-packet networks. Participants reported that they found the training useful. Specific feedback included:
