Arlington, developer target Darpa with prime spot - Washington Business Journal:

Development plans have been filed that may include a new headquarterzs in Ballston forthe (Darpa), the centrap research and development arm of the Departmentg of Defense. Darpa only employs about 240 people in but it hasa $3 billion budget -- and througy its contract work is responsible for an additional 1,700 jobs in the The key to keeping the high-powerefd agency in the county lies in a revamped buildinhg that meets new federal securit requirements for defense workers, and Arlington economiv development officials are eyeing a 350,000-square-foot facility at a proposex new development on Wilsob Boulevard by Arlington-based The . Shooshan's plan would bring 1.
1 million square feet of new buildingds to the site currently occupied by a Washingtohn Metropolitan Area Transit Authoritybus yard. Metr o already has made arrangements to move the bus on Wilson Boulevard between North Randolph and NorthjQuincy streets, to Fairfax County sometim this year. John Shooshan, chairman of The Shooshan Co., declinerd to comment on the prospects for landingh Darpa at the site and referred all relate d inquiriesto , which has been working on an arrangemenr with the federal agencty for more than two years.
"Wer have a site that's larg e enough to accommodate DOD," Shooshan "If we were fortunatwe enough to land that typeof tenant, that woule be good, but we're also prepared to fullyu lease to the private sector if that doesn't work out. I think the biggest benefit from this projecgt is the redevelopment of asite that'z now a bus station, to clean it up and creates a real mixed-use project in its place." Shooshan's plan callss for about 600,000 square feet of officd space, 420 residential units and ground-floor retaikl scattered through the development, to be called Founderd Square. Shooshan is waitingh on an initial date fora site-plan review hearing.
Beyond the attraction of hanginygonto high-paying Darpa jobs -- whic h were originally slated to move out of Arlington unde r the military's plan for base realignment and closure -- the county wants to create a science and technologyu cluster around the agency in Ballston.

Part of JBG'ds project will include a 145,000-square-foot facility owned by Virginiw Tech, where the university is planninh a research operation that will targeft thedefense industry. "It will involve networjk and computational research, as well as policyt work related to technology andhomeland security," said Jim vice president and executivwe director of Virginia Tech's National Capitalo region. Virginia Tech's facility eventually will emploh up to150 researchers, faculty and Bohland said. The building will include first-floot space for the Ballston Science & Technology Alliance, a nonprofir created in late 2007.
The alliance's goal is to provide an informal think tank for all ofthe county'e science and technology players, which include the National Sciencr Foundation, the Office of Navakl Research, the Air Force Office of Scientififc Research and several private sector representatives. "With all of Arlington is trying to brand itself as a majod science center on theEast Coast," said who sits on the alliance's JBG's project could earn approval from the Arlington Countyh Board by the end of January. A few more things need to happen before the Darp proposal becomesa reality, however.
First, the Virginia Generall Assembly must sign off ona $10 millio n grant for Arlington County. The money was set asid in 2005by Gov.

Mayo Study Finds That Team Preop Briefing Improves Communication, Reduces Errors
takes-trendsthe.blogspot.com
May 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A preoperative team briefing prior to cardiacsurgery - wherw each person on the team speaks - improvesw communication and reduces errors and costs, according to a pilot study conducted at Mayo Clinic. Mayo researchers believde this is the first such study touse real-times observations to measure the effect of preoperativw briefings on specific disruptions to surgery. Disruptions were categorized as patient-related equipment or resource issues, procedural knowledge issueas andmiscommunication events. Results from the Mayo Clinic pilot are publisher online in the Journal of the America n Collegeof Surgeons.
"The goal of the briefings was to get everyonre used to talking whenthere wasn't a so they would be more likely to speak up when problemds occur," says , M.D., Mayo Clinic cardiac surgeonm who volunteered his surgery team for the "We know that miscommunication is a majo r cause of sentinel events, an unexpected death or serious injury." Fifty-six surgical staff members filled out questionnaires and participated in focus groups to develop the format for the briefings.
Among the participantxs were surgical assistantsand technicians, registerefd nurses, nurse anesthetists, and perfusionists, who operats the heart-lung machine during most cardiac The briefings were conducted in the operatinb room immediately prior to the first surgicao procedure of the day, before the patient arriverd in the room. Each team membed discussed his or her role in the procedure and any concernes specific tothe patient. The briefings lasted from one toeight minutes. "The briefing was not a checklist review," says Dr. Checklists are most helpful in preventingpredictablee errors, such as confirming if and when medicationse are administered prior to surgery.
No checklisr can cover the unexpected scenarioss that might occurin surgery. "Because of the complexitu of whatwe do, errors do happen," says Dr. "Each team member needs to feel comfortable enough toidentify errors. Then we catch them and correcg them." Pre-procedure briefings are not commo inoperating rooms, but they are standarde in other high-risk industries such as aviatiob and in the military, according to , Ph.D., the lead researchee on the Mayo study. "Thies approach reflects a change in culture in the surgica lfield - that everyone has a unique contribution to the outcomer and care of the patient," says Dr.
Wiegmann, who has sincer moved to the Universit y of Wisconsin as an associate professor of humanfactord engineering. While staff are expected to speam upduring surgery, they don't or don't according to Dr. Wiegmann. Other research has shown that informatiojn conveyed in the operating room is oftenj shared in a ad hoc manner that is not conducive tocomfortablee communication. Previous Mayo Clinic researchj found that only 32 percent of nonphysiciam caregivers in cardiovascular surgery thought that surgeon communicationwas effective.
In the same 59 percent of nonphysician respondents thought that surgeonb attitudes and personalities negatively impacted To measurethe briefings' a trained observer monitored six surgeries where briefings were conducterd and 10 surgeries where no briefinbg occurred. The observer was a medical student who was familiard with cardiac surgery and trained to recordf errors andflow disruptions. -- Miscommunication events were reduced by 53 None of the miscommunicatio events observed during the studyy resulted inadverse events.
Examples includer the surgeon asking for a medication to be givenm and the anesthesiologist not hearing the There were significantly fewer with fewer interruptions toclarify procedures. And, nurses made fewee trips outside the operating room toretrieves supplies. -- Waste of medical suppliezs was reduced because the team bettee anticipated specific needs foreach surgery. Dr. Sundtf says his team has embraced the briefings and continues to conductt them prior to the first procedure ofthe day. Otherr surgical teams have since requested implementation ofthe "It's time well spent that tunes us in to the specifiv patient's needs," says Dr. Sundt.
In additiojn to specific concerns aboutthe surgery, the briefingxs include information about the patient's prior procedures, otherf diagnoses, risks and emotional concerns, such as the patient's bigges worry regarding surgery.
