Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, Robin Fraser Out! Rabbi and Red banter about the 2-0 loss to RSL and the club losing the Rocky Mountain Cup. Then we break down the breaking news of Fraser being fired by the Rapids. How'd we get here? How much is Fraser at fault? What's his legacy as Rapids manager? Is this team a bottom group of players? Where do we go from here with Chris Little as interim and with the coaching search? Also how about that letter to STMS from Pádraig Smith? We discuss. That press conference tomorrow at 11:30 should be something. We end the show with a handful of Ask HTHLs. P.S. Thanks to Joe Lowery for the kind words on Backheeled.

My conversation partner today is Corey Pigg, the creator of the podcast, Failed Missionary, and I invited him to join me in tackling the subject of Short Term Missions, as we are coming up on STM season. In full disclosure, Corey and I are actual friends, so our conversation flowed easily into some deeper thoughts re: parenting, therapy, but I decided to keep all of those segments in the show and invite you into our conversation in hopes that they’ll be helpful to you. In this show, we tell our personal stories of STMs, and both of us have extensive experiences with both short term and long term missions. We lay down some of the reasons why we’ve left that world behind, explaining some of the harm. And as well, talked about some of the alternatives to STMs that may be helpful to parents and their teens.

This session will address systems solutions to short-term mission (STM) drug-related quality of care problems. The quality of care various STM systems are capable of providing varies tremendously: -Well designed STM systems enable physicians, pharmacists and other providers to deliver high quality care and have the greatest possible impact for patient health and for the Kingdom. -Inadequately designed STM systems provide poor quality care and often cause more harm than benefit regardless of the training and expertise of team leaders and providers. We will assess mistakes made and lessons learned on over 45 global STMs, as well as 15 years long-term missions clinic practice in an area frequented by STMs. STM systems based on the work of missionary mentors, Jesus’ teaching and evidence based guidelines will also be reviewed.

Nurses from developed countries who have advanced degrees, such as MSN and PHd. are strategically positioned to meet the growing need of Nursing Leadership development of nurse leaders in developing countries. Today in many developing countries, nursing is still yet to be recognized for its significant impact on quality patient care. As a result, these nurses are seen more as subordinates to physicians and lack the opportunities to develop to their full potential as leaders in healthcare organizations and in the provision of quality patient care.
