4. Problem Solving/Creativity:
Problem solving requires a willingness
to be creative and think outside the box.
Professionals who are willing to be pa-
tient and approach problems from all
angles are more likely to fi nd solutions,
and to be noticed by their supervisors for
their resourcefulness.
5. Emotional Intelligence: Emo-
tional intelligence (EQ) is as valuable
as IQ in the workplace: having persever-
ance, self-control and the ability to get
along with others is necessary throughout
one’s career. According to TalentSmart,
90 percent of top performers have high
emotional intelligence6. Fifty-eight per-
cent of job performance is also attributed
to EQ7.
6. Professionalism: Adult learners
can begin to incorporate professional
behavior in the classroom through their
approach to learning, teamwork, tackling
assignments and accomplishing their ed-
ucational goals. The professionalism nec-
essary to successfully complete a degree
program, especially as a working adult
who may be balancing other responsibili-
ties, can create a strong foundation that
will translate into the workplace.

The new HQC blueprint provides
recommendations and tactics in mul-
tiple strategic areas including reducing
gaps in care, advocating for increased
focus on hypoglycemia, and improving
quality of care for patients who experi-
ence hypoglycemia.
Suggested Solutions
Recommendations include:
• Federal government should in-
crease funding for research at the Na-
tional Institutes of Health and the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Prevention
to reduce gaps in evidence related to
hypoglycemia prevention and manage-
ment;
• Insurance companies and health
care providers should look for ways to
incorporate continuous glucose moni-
toring data into clinical decision making
to prevent and manage hypoglycemia in
high-risk individuals;
• Diabetes educators, patient advo-
cacy groups and social workers should
engage patients and caregivers regard-
ing self-management techniques as well
as protective rights in the workplace;
and
• Hypoglycemia-specifi c education
should be targeted by age and gender,
sensitive to the amount of time a patient
has available, and include training from
behaviorists, nurses, dietitians and exer-
cise physiologists.
Endocrinologists are at the core
of solving some of the most press-
ing health problems of our time, from
diabetes and obesity to infertility, bone
health, and hormone-related cancers.
The Endocrine Society is the world’s
oldest and largest organization of sci-
entists devoted to hormone research
and physicians who care for people with
hormone-related conditions. The Soci-
ety, which is celebrating its centennial,
has more than 18,000 members, includ-
ing scientists, physicians, educators,
nurses and students.

(NAPSA)—If you or someone you
care about is among the more than 29
million Americans living with diabe-
tes—of the additional 86 million who
are at risk for developing the disease?—
there’s something you should know.
The Problem
One complication of diabetes, hypo-
glycemia, occurs most often in people
taking medications as treatments that
may raise insulin levels too high, which
can cause blood glucose levels to drop
too low. Hypoglycemia can be danger-
ous and, depending on the severity, can
lead to various symptoms including diz-
ziness, confusion, anxiety, seizure or
loss of consciousness.
It’s a particular problem in hospi-
talized patients. Low blood sugar, also
known as hypoglycemia, is associated
with increased short- and long-term
mortality risk, per a new study pub-
lished in the Endocrine Society’s Jour-
nal of Clinical Endocrinology & Me-
tabolism.
To increase awareness of hypogly-
cemia in persons with diabetes melli-
tus and to foster initiatives focused on
reducing its incidence, the Endocrine
Society established the Hypoglycemia
Quality Collaborative (HQC), a coali-
tion of medical specialty societies, pay-
ers, industry, patient advocates, diabetes
educators and research organizations.
Seeking Answers
“Hypoglycemia is common among
hospitalized patients with and without
diabetes mellitus,” explained the study’s
senior author, Amit Akirov, M.D., of
Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva,
Israel. “Our fi ndings suggest that hy-
poglycemia, whether insulin related or
noninsulin related, is associated with
short- and long-term mortality risk.”
The study included nearly 3,000
patients with hypoglycemia, defi ned
as blood glucose levels < 70 mg/dL,
during hospitalization at a 1,330-bed,
university-affi liated medical center. Re-
searchers evaluated medical records and
the hospital’s mortality database to in-
vestigate the association between hypo-
glycemia and mortality in hospitalized
patients. They found that for patients
with hypoglycemia, end of follow-up
mortality was 31.9 percent.
Mortality risk was higher in insulin-
treated patients with moderate hypo-
glycemia (40–70 mg/dL), compared to
patients without insulin treatment with
similar glucose values. However, with
severe hypoglycemia (<40 mg/dL), the
increase in mortality risk was similar
with insulin-related and noninsulin-
related hypoglycemia. Cause of admis-
sion did not affect the association be-
tween glucose levels and mortality.
“These data are a timely reminder
that hypoglycemia of any cause carries
the association with increased mortal-
ity,” said Akirov.
CCB#203797
(NAPSA)—From preschool through
college, teachers are instructed to build
students’ academic skills, like reading,
writing and arithmetic. However, stu-
dents leave the classroom untested for
many skills that are directly applicable
to one’s career. Soft skills may not be
“graded,” but they can make or break
your career.
Soft skills are increasingly important
to success in the workplace; it’s no lon-
ger enough to rely on technical skills to
set yourself apart. Employees must also
demonstrate highly developed interper-
sonal skills, which contribute to a positive
work culture and promote strong team-
work and enhanced leadership abilities.
And employers are looking for employ-
ees who are effi cient and demonstrate
the ability to manage their time wisely,
whether it’s juggling multiple projects or
avoiding personal distractions.1
A recent 2016 national curriculum
survey conducted by the American Col-
lege Test (ACT) found that supervisors
and employees ranked the lack of three
nonacademic skill areas—conscientious-
ness, problem solving and critical think-
ing—among the top fi ve skills most like-
ly or very likely to lead to a poor outcome
for an employee2.
“Soft skills begin to develop at a very
young age, and it’s essential to support
the growth of these skills,” said Con-
stance St. Germain, J.D., Ed.D., execu-
tive dean for University of Phoenix Col-
leges of Humanities & Sciences, Social
Sciences, and Security and Criminal Jus-
tice. “Integrating soft skills into our cur-
riculum alongside technical knowledge
is an integral approach that University of
Phoenix uses to prepare our students for
success in the workplace.”
Dr. St. Germain highlights the fol-
lowing as among the most valuable soft
skills:
1. Communication: Effective com-
munication skills, both written and ver-
bal, are integral to success in any indus-
try. A recent Pew Research Center survey
found that communication ranked fi rst
among the skills that Americans believe
are most important for children to have to
get ahead in the world3.
2. Critical Thinking: According to
the ACT survey, more postsecondary sci-
ence instructors cited weakness in criti-
cal thinking than in content knowledge
as most likely to contribute to a poor
outcome for a student4. Critical thinking
skills are necessary to navigate a variety
of workplace challenges, including mak-
ing big decisions and communicating a
point of view.
3. Collaboration: Collaboration is
key to a company’s success, especially
as the landscape of industry demands
continues to evolve. According to Cisco,
over the past 20 years, as companies have
begun to automate or outsource many
structured or process-oriented tasks,
much of the work that remains is com-
plex and highly collaborative5.
