The Indiana Heart Hospital will change its name to Community Heart and Vascular Hospital on Oct. 1 to make sure patients know the hospital is part of the Community Health Network hospital system. “Patients no longer will have the potential to confuse our heart and vascular hospital with our competitors’ facilities, some of which have ‘Indiana’ in their names,” wrote Tom Malasto, president of the heart hospital, in a memo to employees. The St. Vincent Heart Center of Indiana is the other heart hospital in the Indianapolis area. Also, the 2011 name change by Clarian Health to Indiana University Health may have proved confusing to patients. The Indiana Heart Hospital, in Castleton, opened in 2003 with 56 beds. It had net patient revenue last year of $130.2 million, producing net income of $36.6 million.

The Neutron-Sensitive Anger Camera (named for inventor Hal Oscar Anger) was developed by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Biologists can use the neutron detector to discover a wider variety of proteins, some of which may be useful in battling such diseases as AIDS or cancer. Previous neutron detectors struggled to identify protein crystals smaller than 2 millimeters, but new cameras made by PartTec can clearly detect 1-millimeter and smaller crystals.

Failing to use such records will lead to cuts in Medicare payments, beginning in 2015.
