Open space technology in healthcare: Try it!
Open space technology is a perfect fit for healthcare! In an era where we know front line staff, clinicians and patients are at the heart of healthcare reform; open space technology is a breath of fresh air. Here are a few things we learned along the way.
Managing at arm's length
This document summarizes a study on managing remote workforces. Some key findings include:
- Over 50% of professionals now work remotely at least half the time, showing remote work is becoming more common.
- While technology enables remote work, successful remote management requires additional training on managing at a distance.
- Many companies use monitoring systems and video calls to help remote managers and improve communication.
- Remote working is expected to continue growing significantly, with some predictions that over 50% of employees may work remotely within the next decade. This could provide benefits to businesses, employees, and transportation systems.
Integrating Telehome Healthcare with Community Services – a Success Story
Integrating Telehome Healthcare with Community Services – a Success StoryPlan de Calidad para el SNS
The document discusses a telehealth monitoring program for heart failure patients in Hull, UK that integrated telephone healthcare with community services. The program used telemonitoring devices to monitor patients daily and refer high-risk patients to nurses. This multi-partner program reduced hospitalizations and mortality rates compared to historical data, showing the success of integrating telehealth monitoring into community care. Future plans include expanding monitoring to additional conditions and developing education programs.5 Steps to Streamline Patient Access
The document outlines five steps that health systems can take to streamline their patient access operations and see significant financial and operational improvements. The five steps are: 1) placing all referrals and orders electronically, 2) scheduling directly with patients, 3) integrating revenue cycle steps throughout the ordering process, 4) closing communication loops with providers, and 5) gaining insights through analytics. Implementing these steps can help health systems increase revenue, improve operational efficiencies, enhance provider and patient satisfaction, and strengthen their networks.
Patient access ROI's
The document discusses improving patient access experiences for healthcare providers. It notes that providers have innovated access by using better phone systems to answer patient calls, which has led to benefits like reducing call volumes by 30% and saving $900,000. Improved scheduling applications helped increase capacity by 15% while reducing cancellations and no-shows by 20% each. The document also discusses factors contributing to poor access, the business challenges it creates, what makes consumers switch providers, and the returns on investment that can come from improving the patient access experience through reducing call volumes, wait times and providing effective alternative access channels.

June 14, 2024Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
