National Health IT Strategy
The National Health IT Board has established a sub-committee and developed an initial health IT plan to achieve electronic sharing of personal health information between clinicians and improved patient care by 2014. The plan aims to consolidate existing health IT initiatives, improve information sharing between primary and secondary care, and enable an integrated healthcare model through applications like e-prescribing and clinical decision support over two phases by 2014. Key risks include different priorities of healthcare organizations and concerns about privacy, while success requires clinical governance and supporting new models of care.

The Hancock Healthcare Access Initiative aims to improve access to emergency and primary care in Hancock County through a partnership model. Hancock County ranks poorly in health factors, social economic factors, and physical environment. Approximately 68% of emergency room visits were for non-emergent issues and there is limited primary care access. The initiative would use emergency medical technicians trained in telemedicine to conduct in-home exams and diagnostics to treat non-emergency issues. This would decrease emergency room overuse and transportation costs while strengthening primary care. The goals are to enhance emergency care, decrease non-emergency transportation and emergency room use, provide 24/7 minor illness access, and ultimately decrease hospital readmissions by improving care transitions and prevention.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Hemodialysis: Chapter 5, Dialyzers Overview - Dr.Gawad
