PROGRAM INNOVATIONS/INITIATIVES

Hearing Aid Dispensing Program, proposed and initiated in 2000. This initiative has
resulted in significant revenues for the Department so that operating costs are defrayed in
every year while students are afforded training in state-of-the-art technology for
amplification and assistive listening devices.

Electronic Medical Records, as well as networking of Clinic operations, proposed and

initiated in 2003. The Audiology Clinic is run on its own server, with data collection and
patient records maintained in an electronic format. Management and training on this
system for all clinicians has resulted in smoother operation of the Clinic office,
concurrently with cutting edge training for our students. An update to a fully integrated
Electronic Medical Records system to serve the entire Hearing & Speech Clinic operation
was researched, selected, negotiated and implemented during 2015.

Development of a computer-based system for student evaluation, 2009.

Adaptation of clinical practicum coursework into the University’s ELMS system so that
all teaching materials can be accessed on-line by students enrolled in any practica at all
levels.

Collaboration with the University’s Legal Office to create policies and procedures for
establishment of contracts with advanced placements and 4th year sites in the greater
metropolitan area, and across the country.

Planning and coordination with Colleen Worthington for installation of the Hearing &
Speech Clinic’s video system for clinical education, 2011-2012.

Development and implementation of a new Cochlear Implant (CI) Clinic with University
of Maryland Medical Center for student involvement in candidacy evaluations and
mapping launched in 9/2013.

Development of a cooperative program, with Paula Schauer, to bring awareness of the

importance of hearing conservation to faculty and students at the University of Maryland
School of Music in Fall, 2015. Hearing screenings and evaluations, as well as provision
of musicians’ hearing protection, and educational counseling will be provided each
semester.

Development of a joint program, with Paula Schauer, between the Lions Community
Outreach Foundation and the University of Maryland Hearing & Speech Clinic for
assisting underserved hearing-impaired citizens in the region during 2015. The project is
designed to provide hearing health care to individuals of low income with hearing issues
who could benefit from the use of amplification.

A partnership between the University of Maryland Audiology Clinic and the Holocaust
Survivor Program at Rockville’s Jewish Social Service Agency (JSSA), with assistance
from Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. and Sivantos, Inc. for provision of
instrumentation, was formulated in Spring/Summer of 2015 and initiated in the Fall of
2015. This effort was coordinated with Lisa Rickard.
