UHS Receives Three-Year Extension on AAAHC Accreditation
University Health Services (UHS) has received a three-year extension (the most you can get) on its accreditation with the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). The extension is the result of leadership provided by Bruce Herman, Sandy Riggs, Samantha Smith, Je'Nae Parker, Cheryl Benitez, Marie Holmes, Rose Gore, Nettie Jackson, Vid Madrid, Dot Meile, Melissa Paterakis Lundberg, Toni Boyajian, Yu She, Andrea Thornton, Cindy Vogelpohl, Stephanie Turner, and Gladies Barrozo.
Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Kim Leisey says, “The accreditation process took many hours of preparation, meetings, and documentation, and all of the hard work by UHS’ staff paid off. They are an excellent team of care providers and promoters of health, and we are all so appreciative of everything they do to take good care of the UMBC community.”
“AAAHC accreditation provides support to improve the quality of care we provide and challenges us to continually evaluate and improve our processes,” says Director of Health and Counseling Bruce Herman. “This accreditation required the entire team and everyone was involved, but Sandy Riggs, our associate director, has been the heavy lifter and provided tremendous leadership in the process.”
Please congratulate these colleagues when you see them!

RT - NEW tagging option for tickets
RT ticket tagging
Whether it's a blog, a wiki, or even Twitter, when you have a system with a lot of information, some method of tagging that information with easy-to-remember words or phrases makes it much easier to find. RT (Request Tracker) already provides a large amount of metadata to categorize and find tickets including the queue they are in, various dates associated with ticket activity, status, and content like the subject and correspondence. But often you want some way to categorize tickets within a queue into sensible groups.
You can add custom fields to track well-defined attributes and many users add multiple fields to fully describe and categorize tickets. But in some cases a defined drop down list may not be flexible enough. You can allow free-form entry, but that can result in many different variations on what are really the same value, like bug, bugs, issue, and defect all to categorize a bug ticket.
BestPractical, our RT vendor, has released a new extension for tagging which DoIT has applied. This new extension will provide a simple tagging mechanism that solves both issues. It provides free-form entry, but with autocomplete so as you start typing you can see similar values that may already exist. If you do need a new value, just type it in and RT will recognize that it's new and add it to the list so other users will now see it via autocomplete in the future. And once the values are added, they become links making them available for search and reporting.
Please note that tags are only available to support staff for the queue. It is an optional entry but if you do chose to add a tag it is delimited by a space. For example CamelCase would be a single tag whereas Camel Case would be considered two tags. Below is an example of tags being added to a ticket.
For your convenience I am including the faq's already in place for RT below.
Please contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.

A huge thank you to the SAAC!!!
SAAC donated over 3,500 food items
A huge thank you to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) for collecting over 3,500 non-perishable food items for Retriever Essentials (retrieveressentials.umbc.edu) at UMBC.
What happens on our UMBC campus when you put out a call at 8 p.m. the night before that you need volunteers to help move all of this food across campus? Take at look at the photos to see how our phenomenal UMBC community of Retrievers comes together at a moments notice to help others in need!!
Thank you to everyone who donated food, to SAAC, UMBC athletes, faculty and staff and to all of our volunteers. Together we moved thousands of pounds of food across campus in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Go Retrievers!!!

Assistance needed with moving food
Tomorrow, Wednesday, December 11 at 10 a.m.
A huge thank you to the History Department and Chair Dr. Amy Froide for lending Retriever Essentials space for our Food Pantry for the Fall semester!!
We're finally ready to move into our new space in Sherman, but we need help tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the Events Center to move approximately 3,500 items, which are already boxed. We will have 2 vehicles.
Assuming we don't have an ice storm overnight, is anyone available to volunteer for 30-60 minutes?
