4 Steps for a Successful Telehealth Appointment.pdfOlivia Adams
The increase in telehealth usage in the healthcare sector since 2020 will be very remarkable. Additionally, it is evident that patients are satisfied with telehealth services and were prepared and able to make use of them while relaxing in their own homes. We cannot claim that the telehealth platform just appeals to a certain age bracket.

I. Health Problem.
I have chosen to complete my final project discussing Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). There are quite a few people that I know that are near and dear to my heart living with this virus. There are many misconceptions about HIV that the public has simply due to unawareness. With most common public health issues there are many questions that need to be answered to solve the myths. Mental health and substance use disorders can also make it difficult for people to take their medications as prescribed. When HIV is not treated or maintained, it can lead to the fatal diseases Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Of note, you cannot have AIDS without being infected with HIV. According to the Center for Disease Control, HIV can affect anyone regardless of sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, gender, or age (CDC, 2022). However, certain groups are at a higher risk for HIV and weigh special considerations due to the specific risk factors. Gay and Bisexual men, pregnant women, infants, children, Transgender people, people who exchange sex for money, people who inject drugs, etc. These are all considerations of the causes for higher risk for being affected by HIV. However, with the modern medicines and treatments for HIV, many have been known to live long and healthy lives.
II. Organization.
The organization that I have chosen is the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO was founded in 1948 and is the United Nations Agency that connects nations, partners, and people to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health (WHO, 2022). My role in this organization will be a Public Health Physician. WHO works closely with United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on Elimination of Mother-to Child Transmission (EMTCT) of HIV and pediatric AIDS and works with United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) on the integration of HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). WHO considers the epidemiological, technological, and contextual trends of previous years, promotes learning with each disease area, and generates opportunities to leverage innovations and knowledge for efficient responses to HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI). Thanks to awareness and past research, WHO is able to provide a in depth analysis of the past and current trends of HIV and other STI through multiple platforms.

Implementation of Timely and Effective Transitional Care Management ProcessesCHC Connecticut
Join us to discuss best practices for integrating daily follow-ups for patients recently hospitalized for health emergencies. Effectively following up with patients is a critical responsibility for integrated care teams.
Experts will share how their teams respond to patients to identify care gaps and support the transition of care. Workflow descriptions will provide participants with the tools to support their work to adapt specific steps into their model of team-based care.
Panelists:
• Mary Blankson, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, FAAN, Chief Nursing Officer, Community Health Center, Inc.
• Veena Channamsetty, MD, FAAFP, Chief Medical Officer, Community Health Center, Inc.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present challenges to healthcare practices. This presentation covers the reinstatement of elective surgeries in a few states, the greater adoption of remote tracking, and new developments with the FCC’s Telehealth Program.
It also goes over the technology CareOptimize has developed to help streamline COVID-19 monitoring and reporting, its genesis, and how this utility can help your practice post-pandemic.
ABSTRACT- There are various diseases which are preventable and one of high priority amongst them is the blindness.
Owing to insufficient ophthalmological healthcare facilities in the peripheral setup, the concept of camp surgery came into
existence for the developing nations so that maximum cases could be treated at a single sitting within a nominal
expenditure. Unfortunately if something goes wrong during mass surgery many people have to pay the price for it in terms
of permanent loss of vision. Hence it is of utmost importance that when so many people are getting operated for a
particular operation, there should not be any compromise in quality of care and standards of delivery of health services.
Key words- Cataract, Blindness, NPCB, Sterilization
