“He died on the Saturday morning…so when I saw his
body he had already been dead two days. The mortuary
was somewhere at the back of the hospital; not a facility I
suppose they wanted to make a show of, it was near the
boiler room.
I was put in a curtained room (called the viewing room)
where dad lay under a terrible purple pall. There were
two attendants, one of whom pulled back the shroud. I
noticed that the attendants were looking at me, more
interested in my reactions than in the corpse which to
them must have seemed commonplace.”

Irish Hospice Foundation

The document discusses proposed legislation in Ireland to establish a legal framework for advance healthcare directives (AHDs). Key points: - AHDs would allow people to make healthcare decisions in advance if they lose capacity in the future, promoting autonomy and respecting personal values and choices. - To be valid, an AHD must be in writing, made voluntarily by those with capacity, and witnessed. People can also appoint a healthcare representative. - AHDs can refuse treatments but not basic care. Refusals must clearly specify treatments and circumstances. Life-sustaining refusals require additional verification. - The legislation aims to comply with international standards while not affecting laws on euthanasia or

The Hospice Friendly Hospitals programme aims to make end of life care a priority in healthcare facilities. In 2013, one hospital signed an agreement to join the program for three years. It appointed an end of life care coordinator and reconvened a committee to oversee quality standards. Staff received training on end of life issues and materials were updated. These achievements were made possible by commitment from staff across the hospital to improve end of life care.

Presentation on DNAR Policy (From Acute Hospital Network, June 2014) [AHN 19]

Irish Hospice Foundation

This document discusses DNAR (Do Not Attempt Resuscitation) policies and communication regarding end-of-life care. It notes that while DNAR policies aim to provide guidance, individual decision making is needed. DNAR decisions should be made through open discussions involving the patient and considering their prognosis, values and goals. However, communication challenges can arise from unrealistic expectations, denial, misunderstandings and conflicts. The document advocates clear documentation and communication of DNAR decisions across care settings to ensure patient wishes are followed.

The document summarizes key findings from a report analyzing patient activity data for specialist palliative care services in Ireland from 2012-2015. It finds that while access to palliative care has improved, more resources are still needed to meet increasing demand. Over half of new inpatient admissions came from home, showing the role of inpatient units in supporting patient preferences and hospitals. Significant improvements were seen in community palliative care access and wait times. However, disparities remain in access between cancer and non-cancer patients, and by region. Updated staffing guidelines are also needed to guide service provision and support changing places of care.

Advance Healthcare Directives (AHDs)

Irish Hospice Foundation

This document discusses advance healthcare directives (AHDs) in Ireland. It notes that only 6% of people in Ireland have written an AHD. It defines AHDs as documents where a person can write down medical treatments they do not want if they lose decision-making capacity. For an AHD to be legally binding, the person must have had capacity when writing it and it must apply to their current medical situation. The document outlines the requirements for making a valid AHD in Ireland and implications for healthcare professionals, including that they have no liability for complying with a valid AHD or not complying if there are doubts about its validity.

Empyema is also called pyothorax or purulent pleuritis. It’s a condition in which pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall. This area is known as the pleural space. Pus is a fluid that’s filled with immune cells, dead cells, and bacteria. Pus in the pleural space can’t be coughed out. Instead, it needs to be drained by a needle or surgery. Empyema usually develops after pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue. it is mainly caused due in infectious micro-organisms. It can be treated with medications and other measures.

Basics of Electrocardiogram CONTENTS ●Conduction System of the Heart ●What is ECG or EKG? ●ECG Leads ●Normal waves of ECG. ●Dimensions of ECG. ● Abnormalities of ECG CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART ECG: ●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart. ●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart. ●Electrical activity has two phases: Depolarization- contraction of muscle Repolarization- relaxation of muscle ECG Leads: ●6 Chest leads ●6 Limb leads 1. Bipolar Limb Leads: Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve) Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve) Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve) 2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads: AvR- Right arm AvL- Left arm AvF- Left leg 3.Chest Leads: V1 : Over 4th intercostal space near right sternal margin V2: Over 4th intercostal space near left sternal margin V3:In between V2 and V4 V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid clavicular line V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior axillary line V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid axillary line. Normal ECG: Waves of ECG: P Wave •P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG. •It is also called as atrial complex. Cause: Atrial depolarisation Duration: 0.1 sec QRS Complex: •QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex. •‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave. ‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave. Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec T Wave: •‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave. Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec Intervals and Segments of ECG: P-R Interval: •‘P-R’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave. •‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node. Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec Q-T Interval: •‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’ wave and the end of ‘T’ wave. •‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization and ventricular repolarization, i.e. it signifies the electrical activity in ventricles. Duration:0.4-0.42sec S-T Segment: •‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave. Duration: 0.08 sec R-R Interval: •‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves. •It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle. Duration: 0.8 sec Dimension of ECG: How to find heart rhytm of the heart? Regular rhytm: Irregular rhytm: More than or less than 4 How to find heart rate using ECG? If heart Rhytm is Regular : Heart rate = 300/No.of large b/w 2 QRS complex = 300/4 =75 beats/mins How to find heart rate using ECG? If heart Rhytm is irregular: Heart rate = 10×No.of QRS complex in 6 sec 5large box = 1sec 5×6=30 10×7 = 70 Beats/min Abnormalities of ECG: Cardiac Arrythmias: 1.Tachycardia Heart Rate more than 100 beats/min

Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech

Gokul Rangarajan

How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research. "Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research. Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech. But Why do they skip it? Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits. "In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel." Sudharsan Srinivasan Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen. Example of Market Research working Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT. Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows. Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights. Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues. Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India. Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India. We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry. HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education. Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal. Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.
