Dress Code: Business Professional or Scrubs. Please be sure to view the video stream link prior to attending your session. Hospital to Home (H2H) is a student-led clinical experience aimed at connecting hospitalized patients at high risk for unmet social and medical needs with the appropriate resources. The program aims to improve health outcomes and reduce the need for future hospitalization. Students in the program help facilitate a successful transition of care by providing basic medical equipment, assessing social determinants of health, and identifying community resources to bridge those gaps. Please confirm you can access St. Vincent’s Epic Context ASAP, even before your first day, as it may take a couple days for activation. • ALL MS1s and most MS4s will already have access to St. Vincent’s Epic so you will NOT have to go the link below. If you have not used St. Vincent’s Epic in the last 90 days, you must call the help desk at 409-772-5200 to reactivate your access. • If you are a MS4 and have NEVER used St. Vincent’s Epic, use this link to obtain access (must be on the VPN or UTMB WiFi to access this site). Under “Dual Access for St. Vincent’s Clinics,” it walks through how to get to the attestation to gain access to St. Vincent’s Epic.
The Harmony Healers program is an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to come together to perform music for patients in the hospital and increase patient morale. Soloists (or duets if you prefer to prepare with another person in advance) who sing and/or play an instrument are welcome to attend these sessions to prepare and perform music for patients. When you arrive, you will receive information about the role of music in healing and some logistical information. Afterwards, you will go up to your assigned unit and perform for patients until 4:00pm. You should have a few pieces of music memorized to perform for patients.
