He had feared he would be deported, according to reporting from VTDigger.  he was met by cheers from 80 or so supporters who waited for 20 minutes — in frigid temperatures — for Tendo to emerge “I’m still with you for the next six months,” he said Tendo has been trying to get asylum since he crossed the U.S.-Mexico border into Brownsville after experiencing “numerous arrests and torture” in his home country of Uganda The U.S. government’s response denies these allegations of medical neglect and mistreatment. That lawsuit is still making its way through U.S. District Court in Vermont. And Tendo has stayed thus far. He was released from detention in 2021 and moved to Vermont that year. He’s since started training to become a fully-licensed nurse at University of Vermont Medical Center, and has also been active in a local church. Tendo has continued reporting regularly to the St who’s also the director of the Center for Justice Reform Clinic (CJRC) at Vermont Law and Graduate School says Tendo wasn’t expecting to visit ICE today “It was a bit last-minute,” Stokes said Tuesday and we don't really have a way of knowing what are these appointments for.” He said Tendo and his legal team assumed the worst “Given that Steven does have a deportation order especially given the inauguration yesterday that they could be ramping up enforcement operations even further in Vermont and could be taking Steven into detention,” Stokes said The Trump administration’s approach to immigration was the reason some of Tendo’s supporters gave for showing up outside the ICE office Tuesday Like 70-year-old Becky Galvin from Burlington. She said she didn’t know Tendo personally, but she had read about what a valued community member he is and she worried about Tendo’s last-minute call from ICE becoming a pattern “I feel that one of the very few things we can do is stand as witnesses in solidarity with the people that are at risk of being victimized by new immigration policies,” Galvin said a 30-year-old member of the Vermont Latino immigrant farmworker community who we are only calling by her middle name due to her legal status “Whenever someone from the migrant community is under attack because they also have to know that the community is organized and we have to support them so that this does not lead to an arrest or something,” she said in Spanish through an interpreter from Migrant Justice While Tendo and his legal team were prepared for him to be detained and deported Stokes said they got a stay of removal request on file — and it appears ICE will approve it As for why this “last-minute” visit happened at all on Tuesday — Tendo said ICE told him they made a mistake about the timing of his next appointment and wanted to clear that up ICE did not respond to a request for comment Stokes says Tendo and the legal team will continue proceeding with the lawsuit and that they also hope to reopen his asylum case Tendo’s next check-in with ICE is scheduled for July Have questions, comments or tips? Send us a message Enter your email to sign up for The Frequency See more newsletters Have questions, comments or tips? Send us a message This article has been archived and is no longer accepting comments Violinist.com is made possible by..

furniture company Tendo Mokko will unveil a special exhibition titled SHAPE OF TENDO at the Isetan Shinjuku department store in Tokyo Elizabethtown College students compete at an annual regional competition of the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) representing the college and flexing their legal expertise and this cohort brought home some good news with them.  Unlike many schools that offer mock trial only as an extra-curricular Etown provides the experience as a for-credit class It is attractive to both legal studies majors and those in fields related to public speaking.  Nearly 20 Etown students competed at American University from February 15-16 sophomore legal studies major Kalen Tendo and junior public relations major Alison Carneal spoke with “The Etownian” about their experience.  Tendo described how the class began preparations last semester .  “None of us had ever competed in high school so we were pretty new to the whole experience,” Tendo said “It felt like we were figuring things out step by step.” Both Tendo and Carneal described some nervousness entering this new experience which was made easier with the help of their professor “Our instructor supported us from the first week of the school year and guided us to be as successful as possible,” Carneal said he gave us advice between rounds and ran drills with us during our breaks to help us with what we struggled with He also lightened up the mood when we were stressed by telling us other mock trial experiences that he had.” Tendo served as the team’s captain and was given the chance to step into the role of a leader.  “My responsibilities were a mix of self-assigned tasks and things I delegated to the team,” Tendo said “I set up meetings outside of class where we worked on case trials and strategies I also worked closely with my team members helping them refine their cross-examinations beginning with a captain’s meeting and going into two rounds of trials Mock trial rounds are very time-restrictive with a format that includes 25 minutes for both teams openings 25 minutes for the plaintiffs’ directs and 25 minutes for the defense’s cross examinations then 25 minutes for the defense’s directs and 25 minutes for the plaintiffs’ cross examination and make sure no one felt alone or unprepared,” Tendo said “I wanted everyone to feel confident participating and make sure we were fully ready for the other team.” The team was shocked during the awards ceremony where they received the Spirit of AMTA award.  The Spirit of AMTA award is given to teams that earn a perfect score from every opposing team that one faces based on court demeanor and how they treat their competitors It recognizes a respectful and considerate attitude throughout the competition.  “We didn’t even know that this award existed but it felt really special,” Tendo said.“We were just focused on trying to win but we also wanted to be as welcoming and considerate as possible We even gave other teams materials like exhibits and trial books to help them out when they didn’t have the resources.” Both Carneal and Tendo look back on the experience fondly and take pride in their accomplishments. “Walking away from this competition I am excited for the next mock trial season,” Carneal said “I also learned so many lessons that are applicable in all aspects of life including the importance of preparation and most importantly staying kind and respectful even when you are under pressure.” a pioneering online retail platform empowering African entrepreneurs officially announces

HIT Consultant Media. All Rights Reserved. Privacy Policy | chief medical information officer at Health First is working with a startup called Tendo Systems to connect many disparate data sources and present patients with a unified view of their health records “One of the bigger challenges in medicine these days is having information scattered all over the place,” McKee said the more that happens and it really should be the opposite because you need that information to make decisions.” Even health systems that have an enterprise EHR still encounter this problem but for systems like Health First that have different hospital and ambulatory EHR systems the different records are not connected in a meaningful way “Working with Tendo is our effort to connect the patient experience into one application and to have that single pane of glass into a patient's experience in our system regardless of which EMR their data was in or whether they have enrolled in the health plan yet,” McKee said “We are paying the utmost attention to the patient journey and trying to make it as easy as possible because healthcare is always going to be hard Philadelphia-based Tendo was started by siblings Dan and Jen Goldsmith who helped build Veeva Systems into a multibillion-dollar cloud software company for the life sciences industry The company is seeking to create a digital engagement platform and suite of configurable applications that connect patients it is working with Jefferson Healthcare in Philadelphia and Health First “We have this approach where we're getting five to 10 foundational customers,” said Jen Goldsmith “Our intention is to be developing in conjunction with these foundational customers to make sure we're getting it right.” Tendo announced a partnership with Jefferson Health and venture capital firm General Catalyst we are changing the paradigm of delivery to one where patients are people who want to be able to thrive without healthcare getting in the way and access is simple; what we call healthcare with no address Tendo shares our vision and has the experience and expertise to deliver the right technology for this change this is an opportunity to create the best of both worlds bringing together fast paced digital transformation within our healthcare ecosystem.” Noting that a lot of people have tried to tackle this problem before I asked Goldsmith if there were some fundamental mistakes others have made that Tendo was going to try not to repeat “There were what we perceive to be fundamental mistakes,” she said but I think one of the fundamental mistakes when it comes to the patient experience in particular is starting with a single problem or starting with a shiny object A lot of companies would gravitate toward an application to support a very specific need and try to grow outwards from there,” she said “People would tend to ignore the more mundane aspects of things But what we found in life sciences when we were creating Veeva Vault you have to focus on the things that are hard and mundane first The concept of creating a patient workflow in a way that is consumer-friendly and permeates this kind of consumer experience and brings that out to patient communities was something that was considered a little bit mundane a new way of looking at it and required a platform beneath that as well,” she said “This is the second mistake I'll talk about: I think people can go into the point solutions too quickly and forget about the power of having a platform which can be a really loaded word in tech and healthcare in particular But it is important to create a proper platform where you can leverage configurability to create new solutions without having to reinvent the wheel each and every time you accelerate innovation over time.” Goldsmith said they work with the partners across three individual threads “We work very deeply on the process thread to understand how things are operating today and how the interactions between their patient communities and their clinical and administrative communities occur to identify areas for potential optimization or improvement,” she said “Oftentimes you see a landscape one of the foundational customers refers to it as a ‘fruit salad of different vendors’ within their ecosystem,” she added “We look very deeply at that and try to identify where there are areas for simplification.” “We have a discipline within Tendo that is focused on understanding the value and the metrics for success we ask what are the tangible ROI metrics that are quantifiable that we can start to measure to show the success of the program?” McKee brings it all back to simplifying the patient experience “We are trying to make sure that the patient can see their med list of problems or allergies their radiology results are available in a really convenient way,” he said “I think that with so many patient portals And then you have a hard time even finding the lab results Part of what we're trying to do with Tendo is to focus on not only getting the information there Goldsmith said the company is looking to move into pilots with its health system partners this summer “Our goal is to iterate to get to a point where we feel comfortable releasing it more broadly to the healthcare community,” she added “so we'll stay in the foundational customer program and iterate heavily there until we feel that the

happen as partnerships and not the way they did before where EMRs get developed and we react or telehealth gets developed and we react…What if we really merged the Silicon Valley move-fast-and-break-things mentality with the mission-driven and traditional healthcare ecosystem.” Tendo Systems, along with Jefferson, is creating a platform that aims to be the “OpenTable” of
