National Research Corporation ( NRC ) consultants gave an overview of hospital surveys and what their company can offer the Clinical Center to modify existing surveys to meet the needs of unique pediatric and adolescent patients and their families . Given the increased demands on primary care physicians to see more patients in less time , the investigators suggest use of standardized medical intake questionnaires as one way to facilitate history-taking and gathering of other important patient information . Another minority supplement was awarded to an African American pediatrician as a supplement to an ongoing study of an office-based family-focused intervention for pediatric practices to reduce alcohol use and abuse among adolescent patients . Our graduates daily make a significant positive impact on the health of innumerable patients throughout Iowa , and many of them have gone on to leadership positions in the profession statewide and across the nation . In one study , the investigators treated alcohol - and cocaine-addicted patients with disulfiram and various behavioral therapies ; in the second , they tested disulfiram in opioid - and cocaine-addicted patients under treatment with methadone . With these blunt tools , human studies proceeded in heterogeneous patient populations . Their current results suggest that disulfiram is effective in treating the general population of cocaine-addicted patients , including those who are nonalcoholic . The Committee agreed that pediatric patients receiving narcotic infusions are at risk population and applauded Ms. Woolery-Antill and the subcommittee for their work to date on this important patient safety issue .
