    Renown Health amplía el requisito de vacunación contra la Covid-19

    Proteger a los empleados y a sus familias; brindar a los pacientes el nivel más alto y seguro de atención y apoyar la salud pública Renown Health, uno de los empleadores privados más grandes de la región, con una fuerza laboral de casi 7,000 personas y una red de atención médica integrada sin fines de lucro que sirve a más de un millón de personas en todo Nevada, notificó hoy a sus empleados que apoyará la regulación de emergencia nacional y exigirá la vacunación contra la COVID-19 a todos los empleados de Renown Health Communicating to employees today, Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, President & CEO, wrote, “For the last nineteen months, we have done everything humanly possible to care for patients, our community and each other- and to keep people safe from COVID-19. Despite these efforts, too many people have fallen ill, suffered long-term effects or lost those they loved to this deadly disease.” He added, “I believe that as the leading anchor institution for our community, we are obligated to set a clear example of our trust in data and science, and to hold ourselves to the highest ethical and professional standards to keep our community safe. It is clear that the vaccine is safe and effective in reducing illness and saving lives and we encourage everyone who is medically able to do so, and within their religious guidelines, to get vaccinated.” Dr. Slonim thanked his staff for “heeding the call for vaccination and protecting those in our care who are ill and physically vulnerable, and ensuring a safe, COVID-19-free environment for them and for each other.” Al día de hoy, el 80 % del total de 6,750 empleados de Renown Health ya se han vacunado o cuentan con una exención o un aplazamiento aprobado. El 4 de noviembre, la administración de Biden-Harris anunció la vacunación obligatoria contra la COVID-19 del personal elegible en centros de atención médica que participan en los programas de Medicare y Medicaid. La American Hospital Association, la American Medical Association y múltiples sociedades nacionales que representan a profesionales médicos y al menos a 174 organizaciones de atención médica a nivel nacional han recomendado que se exija la vacunación a todo el personal de atención médica como condición de empleo. COVID-19 vaccination prevents serious illness, hospitalization and death. Documented declines in cases since mass vaccination began prove the COVID-19 vaccines are both safe and effective, and are crucial to decreasing the spread of the virus. Renown’s requirement applies to all employees, new hires and students. Chief Medical Officers strongly endorse the mandate. “Our role is to provide the safest, highest-level of care to people who come to us for care, and we must do our part to support public health, which has been greatly enhanced in this state because of the utilization and uptake of the vaccine,” said Rahul Mediwala, MD, CPE, Chief Medical Officer, Health Services. El Dr. Mediwala fue clave en la iniciativa de voluntariado de Renown para la administración de 80,000 vacunas a empleados y miembros de la comunidad, y ahora a niños de entre 5 y 11 años en su ubicación de Hometown Health a principios de este año. We know that there’s some hesitancy that exists, but the data are clear that these vaccinations have been very effective in preventing hospitalizations, severe complications and deaths from COVID-19,” says Susan Lee, DO, MBA, Chief Medical Officer, Acute Services. “Alentamos a todos los colegas, pacientes y miembros de la comunidad a recibir la vacuna contra la COVID-19 lo antes posible”. Los requisitos de la administración de Biden-Harris se aplicarán aproximadamente a 76,000 proveedores y cubrirán a más de 17 millones de trabajadores de atención médica en todo el país. The regulation will create a consistent standard within Medicare and Medicaid while giving patients assurance of the vaccination status of those delivering care. Las instalaciones cubiertas por esta regulación deben establecer una política que garantice que todo el personal elegible haya recibido la primera dosis de una vacuna de dos dosis contra la COVID-19 o una vacuna de una monodosis contra la COVID-19 antes de prestar cualquier tipo de atención, tratamiento u otros servicios a más tardar el 6 de diciembre de 2021. Todo el personal elegible debe haber recibido las dosis necesarias para que se le considere completamente vacunado, ya sean dos dosis de Pfizer o Moderna o una dosis de Johnson & Johnson, para el 4 de enero de 2022. The regulation also provides for exemptions based on recognized medical conditions or religious beliefs, observances, or practices. Facilities must develop a similar process or plan for permitting exemptions in alignment with federal law. Renown will do direct outreach to those employees who have not yet been vaccinated, to be sure they understand the regulations, implications, and options available to them. Dr. Slonim closed his announcement to employees today by saying, “While we understand this is a heavy issue for many, the mandate is clear and is one we will abide by. It is the right thing to do for our patients and each other.”   Acerca de Renown Health Renown Health es una red de atención médica integrada de administración local y sin fines de lucro que brinda servicios al norte de Nevada, Lake Tahoe y el noreste de California.

    Vacuna contra el VPH: la prevención es la mejor medicina

    With more than 3 million cases in the United States each year, human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted disease and can lead to the risk of several cancer diagnoses. Fortunately, a vaccine can prevent more than 90% of HPV cancers when given at the recommended ages. We talked to Renown Pediatrician Vanessa Slots, M.D., to learn more about HPV and the importance of getting your child fully vaccinated.   What is HPV?   Talking about sexually transmitted infections can be uncomfortable, but learning how HPV is spread is important for prevention. HPVs are spread via skin-to-skin contact. According to the National Cancer Institute, there are low/medium-risk HPVs that can cause warts and cervical dysplasia (abnormal cells on the cervix), and there are high-risk HPVs that can cause various cancers. HPV is perhaps most known for causing cervical cancer. Other cancers related to HPV are anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile and oropharyngeal cancers. In fact, men are four times more likely than women to suffer from HPV-associated oropharyngeal (mouth and throat) cancer. HPV is so common that nearly all sexually active people will be exposed at some point in their lifetime, with around half of infections being a high-risk virus.  Benefits of the HPV vaccine   Immunizations are safe and effective and have successfully reduced the transmission of many deadly diseases. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) states the HPV vaccine protects against infections that can lead to HPV related cancers and abnormal cells that can lead to cancer (precancers), as well as genital warts.   The recommended HPV vaccine schedule   The American Cancer Society states that the HPV vaccine is most effective when two doses are given to girls and boys between the ages of 9 to 12. There should be at least 6 months between the first and second dose. “You might be asking why your child needs to get the HPV vaccine at this young age when they are not sexually active,” says Dr. Slots. “Research shows that people have a better immune response to the vaccine when younger than in their late teens and early 20s.”   For teens and young adults ages 13 through 26 who have not been vaccinated, getting the HPV vaccine is still highly effective in preventing cancers and genital warts.   CDC recommended HPV vaccination suggestions:  2-dose schedule for people who get their first dose before their 15th birthday.  3-dose schedule for people who get their first dose on or after their 15th birthday.   “By following the recommended HPV vaccine schedule and getting your child the correct number of doses, this will ensure they have adequate protection against HPV associated diseases including cancer,” says Dr. Slots.
