When the Human Genome Project was declared complete back in 2003, there were high expectations set for genomic medicine. However, it has taken over a decade to begin moving from vision to reality. Today, the number of success stories remains relatively small, but they do stretch across the healthcare ecosystem, incorporating the prediction of drug responses, the diagnosis of diseases and the identification of targeted therapies. Stakeholders ranging from patients, healthcare providers and payers, researchers, diagnostic companies, policy-makers, life sciences businesses and governments now believe genomic medicine to be a potential game-changer
Building A Chronic Care Management Program That Can ScaleVSee
Achieving 100% COVID Readiness with Chronic Care Telehealth
Chronically ill patients in the US account for 76% of all physician visits. They are also the most susceptible to COVID and COVID-related illnesses. With COVID variants on the rise, telehealth and remote patient monitoring (RPM) are essential to keeping these patients safe, while providing quality care and improving outcomes.
In addition, studies have shown that remote patient monitoring improves patient self-management and leads to earlier interventions. It can also reduce emergency hospital visits 30%. In 2015 Medicare began reimbursing clinicians for using remote patient monitoring technology to manage chronically ill patients with 2+ chronic conditions with Chronic Care Management (CCM) codes. In more recent years, it also began reimbursing remote patient monitoring (RPM) services for a wider range of patients.

Why Data-Driven Healthcare Is the Best Defense Against COVID-19Health Catalyst
COVID-19 has given data-driven healthcare the opportunity to prove its value on the national and global stages. Health systems, researchers, and policymakers have leveraged data to drive critical decisions from short-term emergency response to long-term recovery planning.
Five areas of pandemic response and recovery stand out for their robust use of data and measurable impact on the course of the outbreak and the individuals and frontline providers at its center:
Scaling the hospital command center to pandemic proportions.
Meeting patient surge demands on hospital capacity.
Controlling disease spread.
Fueling global research.
Responding to financial strain.
A Sustainable Healthcare Emergency Management Framework: COVID-19 and BeyondHealth Catalyst
With an ever-changing understanding of COVID-19 and a continually fluctuating disease impact, health systems can’t rely on a single, rigid plan to guide their response and recovery efforts. An effective solution is likely a flexible framework that steers hospitals and other providers through four critical phases of a communitywide healthcare emergency:
Prepare for an outbreak.
Prevent transmission.
Recover from an outbreak.
Plan for the future.
The framework must include data-supported surveillance and containment strategies to enhance detection, reduce transmission, and manage capacity and supplies, providing a roadmap to respond to immediate demands and also support a sustainable long-term pandemic response.
CASE STUDY on International Accreditation by Dr.Mahboob ali khan Phd Healthcare consultant
In seeking the “gold standard” of international hospital accreditation, International accreditation like Joint Commission International has assisted in accomplishing the following: The organization sought to put into practice measurable standards upon which to base patient care – from admission to discharge – that would be considered best practices worldwide.Hospitals expected to realize greater financial return using patient care standards to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness in its daily operations. The hospital wanted to standardize and continually improve patient and employee safety, as well as put strategies into place for reducing risk. Hospitals wanted to achieve international accreditation to attract more international patients.
NTTAP Webinar Series - May 18, 2023: The Changing Landscape of Behavioral Hea...CHC Connecticut
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant shifts in the mode of care from face-to-face to virtual interactions. Join us as we discuss the challenges currently facing behavioral health care and at least one strategy for each. Along with these strategies, panelists will go over what integrated behavioral health care was and is before and following COVID-19, as well as what actions should be taken going forward to increase access to comprehensive care.
Panelists:
• Dr. Tim Kearney, PhD, Chief Behavioral Health Officer, Community Health Center, Inc.
• Melinda Gladden, LCSW, PMHC, Behavioral Health Clinician, Community Health Center, Inc.
• Jodi Anderson, LMFT, Virtual Telehealth Group Coordinator, Community Health Center, Inc.
Our central thesis has long been that COVID hasn’t dramatically changed the healthcare industry, rather it has dramatically accelerated different trends in the healthcare space that were already simmering before March 2020. Given the usually slow pace at which the healthcare market typically moves, COVID served as a shock to the system and an accelerator that created a window to drive meaningful change. In this whitepaper, we will examine several changes that were less obvious in the early days of the pandemic and assess their longevity as we (hopefully) move into a post-COVID world.

Although highly arguable, and patients being central to healthcare systems, patient engagement is one the most underutilized aspect of the healthcare industry. Patient engagement is a promise of better health outcomes as well as the increasing knowledge and skill of people to manage their and their family members’ health.
Hospital Capacity Management: How to Prepare for COVID-19 Patient SurgesHealth Catalyst
Health system resource strain became an urgent concern early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Hard-hit areas exhausted their hospital beds, ventilators, personal protective equipment, staffing, and other life-saving essentials, while other regions scrambled to prepare for inevitable surges. These resource concerns heightened the need for accurate, localized hospital capacity planning. With additional waves of infection in the summer months following the initial spring 2020 crisis, health systems must continue to forecast resource demands for the foreseeable future. An accurate capacity planning tool uses population demographics, governmental policies, local culture, and the physical environment to predict healthcare resource needs and help health systems prepare for surges in patient demand.

As an expert in hospital management and administration i have written this book -Hospital Management is a new theory in management faculty. Earlier a senior doctor used to perform the role of a hospital manager. However, nowadays everything demands a specialist. Almost all the things related to hospital have changed. Many categories concerning medical sciences and hospital have altered totally. There are various types of hospitals today, including ordinary hospitals, specialty hospitals and super specialty hospitals. The categories are regarding to the types of facilities they offer to the people.
Steve Jobs logged off too soon. He was a serial innovator whose illness cost the world a bright talent who was also a great company leader. I hope that the music from the hymns of praise sung to him in his waning days is playing on his iPod as he ascends into the firmament of the greatest American business leaders. If there were a Nobel prize for business, surely he would have won it. He did what he set out to do and more. He saw the potential for computing power for the masses, useful and accessible to everyone. In a phrase that drove the early Apple, he created bicycles for the mind.
“He is a charismatic leader who inspires people to follow him. A strategic thinker who can master the details. A tireless worker with incredible focus and problem-solving skills. He is well-liked by his employees but is also able
to make and execute unpopular decisions. Above all, he is an exceptional communicator who can convey a vision to any audience, from Wall Street to
the most junior employee.”
Some of the lower vibrations, as you can see on the chart are anger, grief, shame, fear. Some of the higher vibrations are love, joy, appreciation and excitement.
Going to higher vibrations means more energy ,lower vibration is easily achieved and is default in everyone of us and is easily aggravated by gravity.
thats why anger, grief,shame and fear are more common than love ,joy appreciation and excitement.
Hospitals profitability can be increased by boosting patient satisfaction, reducing readmissions and understanding revenue cycle performance.
In this period of healthcare reform, numerous organizations continue to change their business practices so they can obtain more hospital profitability while also delivering quality care. Healthcare expenditures are expected to reach $4.4 trillion by 2022, and this high level of spending activity has hospitals currently under a lot of pressure to reduce costs.
Development of the digital economy started way before COVID-19. The exact date of the beginning may be defined in different ways, depending on different definitions of “digital economy.” The popularly understood “digital economy” phenomenon began when T-Mall was set up in 2003 and when Alipay came online in 2004. While the digital technology brings about the fourth industrial revolution, just like the steam engine, electrical machines, and computers, respectively.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Accreditation readiness and challenges during covid19 era By.DrMahboob Khan Phd

Accreditation Readiness and Challenges During
COVID-19 ERA:
By Dr.Mahboob ali khan
My Hand Painting of the Front line Warriors facing COVID-19-April
2020
2. 2
In a world where data fluctuates between showing the impact
of accreditation on healthcare institutions and negating it, we,
at quality, were intrigued to look into whether accredited
healthcare institutions were more ready to deal with the
requirements of COVID-19 or not?
Quality and patient safety organization, providing services
through consultation, capacity building and accreditation.
During establishment, we faced scepticism on whether the
accreditation approach was right. I am proud to showcase that
the accreditation approach has been able to push the bar quite
high and induce continuous improvements in healthcare
organizations.
Quality improvement is evident in hospitals that participated in
the accreditation journey influencing the development of
policy, programs, plans, ensuring training, requiring
infrastructural attention, and changing behaviour and practice.
That has no doubt led to better preparedness to respond to any
emergency, internal or external, while maintaining the
provision of safer care and high-quality services, despite
hardships.
Given the world, we now live in, and the challenges brought
about by the pandemic; namely, the health sector’s ability to
cope, respond and be resilient, it was intriguing to look at data
on accredited and non-accredited hospitals, to gauge their
readiness.
With focus on six areas: (1) emergency preparedness; (2)
infection control; (3) capacity building; (4) case management;
(5) communication; and, (6) laboratory services.
3. 3
The results alluded to the positive effects on hospitals having
gone through the accreditation journey and supported the
collection of required data related to COVID-19.
Accredited hospitals were found to have:
Well-structured Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)
Programs
1.Stronger ability to to upgrade their disaster
management plans to better manage COVID-19 cases (from
triage to inpatient)
2.Responsive committees that convened regularly to inform
and monitor practices
3.Complete policies and procedures that reference HCAC
standards and support accurate and timely communication and
decision making
4.Trained staff on IPC, occupational safety, risk management,
protocols and protocol adoption
5.Emergency preparedness plans already in place to guide
practices to safeguard health and uphold rights and
6.An inherent culture and internal systems for quality
monitoring, including data collection, performance indicators,
7.Proper documentation of patient records and clinical data.
Accredited hospitals reported that they were sought after for
guidance and advice on how to jumpstart systems and plans; a
testament that accreditation standards served as a catalyst and
roadmap during the management of COVID-19.
More comforting than surprising was that accreditation
contributed to hospitals’ readiness and ability to adapt existing
systems to respond to the influence of a pandemic.
4. 4
Much information emerged, such as how effective
collaboration and cooperation, public awareness and trust while
streamlining information sharing among hospital
administration as prescribed by accreditation supported flow of
information and eased response, attention to patient complaints
and empowerment of patients to partake in their well-being was
especially important in these times, and, well-maintained
laboratory services, safety measures and quality control
improvements allowed for the appropriate clinical management
of both pandemic and other patients.
Undoubtedly, the implementation of the accreditation
standards supported responsive and safer care in these
challenging times and beyond. Those simple basic
improvements that sometimes are taken for granted have made
many of our hospitals simply more ready.
Indeed, accreditation has worked; let’s keep doing it.
