Embracing Diversity in Healthcare
By Susan Birk

n approaching the complex, sometimes contro-
versial and profoundly important subject of
diversity, ACHE Chairman Gayle L. Capozzalo,
FACHE, believes it comes down to respect.
"I believe that the bedrock principle upon which our
endeavors to provide compassionate and culturally
competent care is based is respect," Capozzalo, execu-
tive vice president. Strategy and System Development,
Yale New Haven (Conn.) Health System, said during
the 2012 American Hospital Association Annual
Meeting May 6—9. "We embrace diversity because it is
fundamentally about respect, and we believe it is both
an ethical and business imperative that can improve
our organization's quality, safety and services."
Implicit in her words is what some leaders might call les-
son No. 1 about this issue: Diversity is not merely a jaded
nod in the direction of affirmative action (although
affirmative action is an important element of diversity
programs). Nor is it a "social program" to be delegated to
Human Resources. Rather, it requires a desire by senior
leadership to welcome many perspectives and differences
and to inculcate respect and appreciation for those per-
spectives as a basic organizational value.
More Than Policies
Patricia Harris, global chief diversity officer of
McDonald's Corp., sums it up in the title of her
book: None of Us Is as Good as All of Us: How
McDonald's Prospers by Embracing Inclusion and
Diversity (Wiley, 2009).
"You need to embed in your organization's culture
the recognition that diversity and equal treatment
are not simply policies to be policed," says Susan M.
Nordstrom Lopez, FACHE, president of Advocate
Illinois Masonic Medical Center, Chicago.
"It has to come from inside," she says. "And like
all organizational values, it has to come from the
top, and it has to be observed consistently
throughout the organization." That inclusivity
applies to race, generation, gender, ethnicity, reli-
gious affiliation, culture and sexual orientation.
And it holds true whether attending to the cultural
needs of patients, building a workforce or develop-
ing a leadership team that mirrors the community
it serves.
Signs of Progress
The healthcare sector's progress in this regard has
been "somewhere between fair and significant,"
says Frederick D. Hobby, president and CEO of
the Institute for Diversity in Health Management,
Chicago. According to Hobby, evidence of prog-
ress can be seen in the national call to action to
eliminate healthcare disparities launched last year
by the American Association of Medical Colleges,
ACHE, American Hospital Association, Catholic
Health Association of the United States and
National Association of Public Hospitals and
Health Systems.
The Equity of Care initiative aims to: (1) increase
the collection and use of race, ethnicity and lan-
guage (REAL) preference data by hospitals and
health systems, (2) increase cultural competency

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Navigating Challenges: Mental Health, Legislation, and the Prison System in B...Guillermo Rivera
This conference will delve into the intricate intersections between mental health, legal frameworks, and the prison system in Bolivia. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current challenges faced by mental health professionals working within the legislative and correctional landscapes. Topics of discussion will include the prevalence and impact of mental health issues among the incarcerated population, the effectiveness of existing mental health policies and legislation, and potential reforms to enhance the mental health support system within prisons.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Being a metropolitan, the city is filled with towering building and beaches but the sad part as with almost every Indian city
1. “St. Louis is a hidden gem in healthcare. I was blown
away by the level of innovation and scope of their
healthcare systems. GlobalSTL is THE navigator for
startups to connect with St. Louis.”
Ziv Ofek, MDClone, CEO - dbMotion Founder
2017
2. “If I'm sitting in the UK and I want to access the U.S.
health care system, St. Louis and the GHIS is a very
logical place to start. St. Louis is centrally located
and has 7 percent of total U.S. health care spend.
The GHIS is a curated process so the companies
you meet are interested in the solutions you have.
It’s a really good investment of your time.”
Jory Tremblay, Babylon Health, Head of Growth
2018
3. “The number of meetings GlobalSTL curated for us in
the last 24 to 48 hours is probably equivalent to 6
months of work, in terms of the people, the levels,
and quality. We are exploring a second hub outside of
Boston and are seriously considering St. Louis. We see
this as a very powerful location for us and an influential
one as well.”
Ken Cahill, SilverCloud Health, CEO
2017
4. “St. Louis has been an enormous entry point to us
in the U.S. We have our first customers there. I also
feel like St. Louis has some similarities with Stockholm
where the key to succeeding is by working together
with academia, industry and researchers. If you can
combine those three things together to create an
ecosystem, that’s a huge opportunity for us. St. Louis
has that powerhouse to make that happen.”
