(Press-News.org) NEW ORLEANS – Ochsner Health is pleased to announce Tiffany Murdock as the organization’s next system vice president and chief nursing officer (CNO), effective later this summer. In this leadership role, Murdock will set the strategy and vision for the organization’s nursing practice and lead the organization’s more than 9,000 nurses. Murdock joins Ochsner’s leadership team after eight years at Singing River Health System, where she has served since 2022 as Singing River’s first female chief executive officer (CEO).
Murdock joins the Ochsner nursing team with extensive healthcare leadership experience, serving in executive, operations and nursing leadership positions at health systems across the country. As CEO of Singing River Health System, Murdock leads a team of more than 3,500 employees serving patients across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Murdock has previously led nursing teams as regional CNO of St. Joseph Health System in California and as system CNO at Asante Health in Oregon. Tiffany holds a BSN in nursing, an MSN and MBA in Health Care Administration, and a doctoral degree in Public Health Executive Leadership.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Tiffany Murdock to lead our talented nursing team and support its critical work across our organization,” shared Mike Hulefeld, president and chief operating officer at Ochsner Health. “The dedication and service of our nurses is vital to our mission and impacts millions of lives each year. Tiffany is a passionate advocate and leader and will further our efforts to create a supportive, inclusive and empowering environment for our nursing colleagues.”
Murdock will work in collaboration with the outgoing Ochsner CNO and system vice president of quality, Tracey Moffatt, as she transitions into her new role. Moffatt, who joined Ochsner’s leadership team in 2015, will continue to advance the nursing profession as an executive advisor at Ochsner and as vice president of the Louisiana State Board of Nursing board of directors. Moffatt announced her plans to retire from the chief nursing position last October and will remain an influential driver of Ochsner’s work to invest in professional, educational and career growth opportunities for nurses and healthcare professionals.
“I’m incredibly proud of the Ochsner nursing team and all they have accomplished, especially through the challenges our profession has faced over the past few years,” said Moffatt. “I know Tiffany will be an energizing and persuasive leader who will help make our organization the workplace of choice for nurses from across the region. I’m honored to continue my work supporting workforce initiatives, education and policies that positively impact current and aspiring nurses.”

IU researcher receives NSF award to study carbon-trapping mineral systems
2023-06-15
An Indiana University researcher is investigating critical geochemical processes that trap carbon dioxide in rock to better predict the potential for atmospheric carbon removal and storage at scale.
Chen Zhu, a globally recognized geologist and professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences within the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington, has been awarded $736,000 from the National Science Foundation to solve long-standing gaps in scientists’ understanding of CO2-water-rock interactions that naturally remove carbon dioxide from the ...
To boost supply chains, scientists are looking at ways to recover valuable materials from water
2023-06-15
For many materials critical to supply chains that will help enable America’s decarbonization transition, resources are limited. Traditional mining is fraught with challenges, so advancing clean energy depends on finding new ways to reliably access critical materials.
Promoting national security and economic competitiveness will require America’s researchers to find new ways to obtain the materials that we need for many technologies. These include batteries, magnets in electric motors, catalysts, nuclear reactors ...
Tiny nanopores can contribute to faster identification of diseases
2023-06-15
In a collaboration with Groningen University, Professor Jørgen Kjems and his research group at Aarhus University have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in developing tiny nano-sized pores that can contribute to better possibilities for, among other things, detecting diseases at an earlier stage. Their work, recently published in the scientific journal ACS Nano, shows a new innovative method for finding specific proteins in complex biological fluids, such as blood, without having to label the proteins chemically. The research is an important milestone in nanopore technology, and could revolutionise medical diagnostics.
Nanopores are ...
Healthy sex life during pandemic tied to an array of sexual coping strategies
2023-06-15
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — New research suggests that people who maintained healthy sexual and intimate lives early in the pandemic used sex as a coping mechanism to enhance their relationship with their partners, explore new sexual activities and in an array of other ways to adapt to the restrictions, stress and the changes in their daily lives.
One year into the pandemic, Liza Berdychevsky, a professor of recreation, sport and tourism at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, conducted an online survey of 675 people to explore the differences between people whose sex lives had fizzled and those whose sex lives had flourished. The sample ...

Legal recreational cannabis use and binge drinking is on the rise for older adults
2023-06-15
June 15, 2023 --New research at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health examined changes in binge drinking after the implementation of recreational cannabis laws.
Analysis of national survey data from Americans aged 12 and older showed that past-month binge drinking increased overall among people aged 31 and over from 2008 to 2019. At the same time, binge drinking declined overall among people aged 12-30. The results are published online in the International Journal of Drug Policy.
The most substantial declines in binge drinking were observed ...
New study gives clues on why exercise helps with inflammation
2023-06-15
TORONTO, CANADA, June 15, 2023 - Researchers have long known that moderate exercise has a beneficial impact on the body’s response to inflammation, but what’s been less understood is why. New research coming out of York University done on a mouse model suggests that the answers may lie at the production level of macrophages — white blood cells responsible for killing off infections, healing injury and otherwise acting as first responders in the body.
“Much like if you train your muscles through ...
Climate change likely led to violence in early Andean populations
2023-06-15
Climate change in current times has created problems for humans such as wildfires and reduced growing seasons for staple crops, spilling over into economic effects. Many researchers predict, and have observed in published literature, an increase in interpersonal violence and homicides when temperatures increase.
Violence during climatic change has evidence in history. University of California, Davis, researchers said they have have found a pattern of increased violence during climatic change in the south central Andes between A.D. 470 and 1500. During that time, which includes the Medieval Climatic ...
Carbon mitigation payments can make bioenergy crops more appealing for farmers
2023-06-15
URBANA, Ill. — Bioenergy crops such as miscanthus and switchgrass provide several environmental benefits, but low returns and profit risks are barriers for investment by farmers. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shows that carbon mitigation payments could increase net returns and reduce income risk, potentially enticing more farmers to grow these crops.
“We were interested in looking at the returns to farmers and the risks to farm income of adopting bioenergy crops compared to conventional corn and soybean crops. We ...
