For Immediate Release

Logan – A Utah based company known as, ClearPoint Instruction LLC, is giving hope to many “to be” patients at hospitals. They are offering what very well could be the future of orientation for pre-surgery patients (among others), so they will know exactly what to expect upon entering the hospital, and the preparations to take before entering. The simple DVD’s they offer explain to potential patients the before, during, and after effects they will go through while in a hospital. ClearPoint has already made its way to two of Utah’s hospitals, Mountain West Physical Therapy and Cache Valley Specialty Hospital, showing great affects on the patients who received the treatment.

Senior Vice President Project Manager of ClearPoint, Preston Parker, is very excited about the company and hopes to seethe product being used in many hospitals throughout Utah and the nation. “Patients who are less educated upon entering a hospital tend to recover slower and aren’t as happy as those who are more educated about the procedures and processes they undergo,” Parker said. “We hope to educate people so they are not afraid of surgery, or pregnancy, which makes their stay in the hospital minimal if they do what is required of them before and after surgery.”

ClearPoint shows simulated instruction, and leaves out the “gory” details, making sure patients won’t be scared after watching the DVD’s about what is being done to their bodies. It is clearly a product to educate and inform potential patients and is a great way to help people better understands exactly what is expected of them to make their doctor’s job as easy as possible. Clearpoint has already released several DVD’s some of which explain; Surgery, Pregnancy, Post-op/Physical Therapy along with In and Out Patient DVD’s to name a few. Clearpoint can help any medical organization meet all Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accreditation standards and national patient safety goals.

Burglar Suspects to be Tried

LOGAN, Utah

Two burglary suspects are being tried after being arrested by Sheriff Deputy Geoffery Hasty. The two acquaintances are suspected of breaking and entering a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last week in Logan, Utah. 35 year old Jim Michaels and a juvenile, 15 (whose name is not being released), are both suspected of the burglary.

The Defense Attorney of Michaels, Robbie Cochran, believes the forensic evidence found at the scene of the crime to be “flimsy” and not enough to convict Michaels of any crime. Michaels posted a $5,000 bond and is to be tried on March 21^st, and could face up to six months to a year in jail.

The two suspects are former acquaintances and both have prior records, which were not discussed during the interview.
