[post_content] => Dear MCH Patients,
Due to a cyberattack involving Change Healthcare, patients may experience delays receiving laboratory results. Upon being alerted of the incident with Change Healthcare last Wednesday, February 21st, MCH began working with vendors to make sure the hospital was disconnected from all Change Healthcare products to ensure the safety and security of patient health information.
Change Healthcare is a health care technology company that is part of Optum and owned by UnitedHealth Group. Change/Optum touches almost every hospital in the United States in one way or another – including ours. Due to Change/Optum’s significant scale, nationwide scope, and the concentration of mission critical services they provide or support including but not limited to: pharmacy, health care technologies, clinical authorizations, revenue cycle and more, this cyberattack has the potential to create significant disruptions in the delivery of and access to health care.
The delay we are experiencing is due to a global interruption of service that is impacting our reference lab at Catholic Medical Center (CMC). A reference lab is a laboratory that receives lab specimens from another laboratory and performs tests on such specimen. MCH partners with CMC on a daily basis in the processing of specialized lab orders that aren’t typically done at MCH. While MCH is still utilizing CMC for lab testing at this time, to protect patient information, all processing is being done manually rather than electronically. Due to this process change, patients may not be able to view lab results on the patient portal, if their results are coming from CMC. However, all lab results that are able to be tested at MCH and historical results may still be viewed.
Please be assured that all lab results, whether coming from our reference lab or from MCH’s lab are being reviewed by the ordering clinician in a timely manner and all critical orders will continue to take precedence.
As this is a national incident, we are receiving regular updates from the American Hospital Association (AHA), which has been in contact with the FBI, Department of Health and Human Services, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and UnitedHealth Group regarding this incident.
We continue to monitor closely all updates from Change Healthcare/Optum on the situation and are also testing the security, redundancy and resiliency of our network and data backups to ensure they remain offline and not at risk.
We understand that this situation may cause concern, and we want to emphasize that the security of your personal information remains our top priority. Our team is working diligently to address the challenges presented by this situation.
We are grateful for your patience and understanding as we navigate this situation. Thank you for your continued trust in Monadnock Community Hospital.

Chronic pain can be a heavy burden, affecting not only your physical well-being but your overall quality of life. In this blog post, we'll explore evidence-based orthopedic interventions and lifestyle adjustments that can make a significant difference in managing chronic pain. The goal here is to empower you with knowledge and offer solutions that can help you lead a more pain controlled and fulfilling life.
Orthopedic Interventions:
Physical Therapy: One of the cornerstones of orthopedic care, physical therapy (PT) focuses on strengthening muscles, improving joint mobility, and reducing pain frequency and intensity. It's a collaborative approach where a skilled therapist tailors exercises to your specific needs. PT requires a clinician's prescription in my cases.
Minimally Invasive Procedures: While rarely necessary, orthopedic surgeons can perform minimally invasive surgeries, such as arthroscopy, to treat various joint conditions. These procedures often lead to quicker recovery and less pain compared to traditional “open” surgeries.
Joint Injections: Corticosteroid and other supplemental injections can provide significant relief for conditions like osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and the like. They help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, allowing you to regain mobility and can often be used in conjunction with other treatments to speed the recovery timeline.
Orthotic Devices: Custom orthotic devices, like shoe inserts, splints, or braces, can correct alignment issues and relieve pain, particularly in conditions like plantar fasciitis, ligament instability, or knee osteoarthritis.
Lifestyle Adjustments:
Exercise and Weight Management: Regular low-impact exercises, like swimming, weight training, rowing, or cycling, can strengthen muscles and reduce the pressure on joints. Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial, as excess pounds can exacerbate pain in weight-bearing joints due to joint load, ligament stress, and muscle fatigue.
Nutrition: A well-balanced diet can have a significant impact on inflammation and pain. Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods such as fatty fish, turmeric, and fresh fruits and vegetables into your meals. For more information, consider looking up the “Anti-inflammatory Lifestyle” online or asking us directly for more information or a referral to a nutrition specialist at MCH.
Stress Management: Chronic pain can be emotionally taxing. Practices like mindfulness meditation, art, and yoga can help manage stress and improve your pain tolerance as does improving one’s sleep, quitting nicotine, and alleviating other stress inducing aspects of ones’ life.
Quality Sleep: A good night's sleep is essential for pain management. Ensure your sleep environment is comfortable, cool, dark, and free from blue light screens. We recommend you establish a consistent sleep schedule to improve your overall well-being.
Community Support: Reach out to local support groups and community organizations. Sharing your experiences and learning from others who face similar challenges can be incredibly empowering.
It's important to remember that every individual's experience with chronic pain is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Orthopedic interventions and lifestyle adjustments can complement each other, so working with your healthcare team to create a personalized plan is essential.
In closing, managing chronic pain is a journey that requires collaboration, and honesty with yourself and your healthcare providers. It's about finding what works best for you and your unique circumstances. In the supportive community of those who understand chronic pain, you can gain the knowledge and strength needed to take control of your life. Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates is here to help.
Stay strong and remember, there is hope for a brighter, less painful tomorrow.
