Bon Secours Health System upgraded their network across multiple hospital sites to support growing IT needs and a new diagnostic imaging system. They partnered with eircom to implement a high-bandwidth Next Generation Network providing up to 50Mbps connectivity. This allows clinicians to securely access and share patient images digitally across locations. The new network provides improved clinical workflows and reduced patient wait times. Ian Brennan of Bon Secours says the network's reliability, performance, security and scalability are critical thanks to their complex clinical systems and geographic spread across Ireland.
The transformation to digital imaging is complete. The transformation to digital records is underway. The addition of networking capability to clinical devices (pumps, patient monitors, nurse call systems) and everyday objects (doors, thermometers, water sensors, signs) grows with each passing month. Your network needs to be ready for the hyper-connected near term.

RTLS 2.0: Moving from Asset Tracking to Asset ManagementCenTrak
Healthcare facilities have come to realize the importance of equipment management and its organization-wide impact and interdependence with staff productivity, operations, asset performance and lifecycle costs. With the average rate for asset/equipment utilization at approximately 35%, asset tracking has become a viable area of improvement that can be achieved with measurable results.
Selecting an accuracy-based asset tracking solution that delivers 100% certainty enables a hospital to transition from asset tracking to more complex asset management and supply chain management use cases.
- Enterprise visibility to asset location and status
- Reduces time searching for equipment
- Increases staff satisfaction
- Automates PAR level management
- Reduces shrinkage
- Improves clinical workflow
- Integrates with CMMS
Paging for Today's Hospital: Encrypted and Connected Spok
Learn how encrypted and connected paging allow your care team members to leverage their pagers to their full potential, streamline workflows, and speed response to patients.
ICU remains for Intensive Care Unit, a place in the recuperating office where wiped out patients are checked eagerly. Commonly, the patient-staff extent is low and the LIFE-SAVING EQUIPMENT used is outstandingly bleeding edge Generally ICU is a healing facility for course of action of genuine nursing and remedial consideration of essentially wiped out patients, depicted by high bore and measure of unending nursing and restorative supervision and by use of cutting edge checking and resuscitative equipment The patients in the ICU require a predictable seeing of their Temperature and pulse circulatory strain. This undertaking is a working model, which wires sensors to evaluate imperative parameters specifically the Temperature, Respiratory temperature and Heart Beat. The sensors are interfaced to PC, with the objective that the condition of a patient can be explored by masters in any bit of the center wherever they are. At whatever point there is a variety from the standard felt by the patient, the particular patient will give an alert movement, by which the pro can race to the patient. Despite when the patient is in a careless condition, each one of the parameters will be identified and pro will be admonished, thusly it diminishes master's remaining task at hand and besides gives more correct results .Our endeavor is a working model which wires sensors to measure each one of these parameters like body temperature, Respiratory Temp and Heart Beat rate and trade it to the PC, with the objective that the patient condition can be examined to by authorities in any bit of the recuperating focus wherever they are. In this way it decreases experts work stack and besides gives more exact results, wherever there is a variety from the standard felt by the patient, we have in like manner combined saline watching system which gives an alert when the saline container going to cleanse.
Certainty-based location* accuracy with the capability of segmenting the work space into clinically meaningful zones (or areas). For clinical workflow, zones are typically patient rooms, patient bays, nursing stations, hallway segments, and other areas meaningful to provide care to patients. Mobile zones such as wheelchairs and stretchers are also opportunities to define a patient care area. Accuracy is thus defined as the ability to know with certainty that an asset is in a defined zone. If there is significance to know where the asset is within a zone, then the zone should be divided into smaller zones.

Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) – A New Paradigm in Health...Apollo Hospitals
Digitization and transfer of images in Radiodiagnosis and Imaging dates back to to early 70s with the advent of Computerized Tomography Scanning, and, subsequently sending these images to cameras and printers hooked on to the machines through a local “network”. Rapid advancements in Information Technology (IT) as well as in the imaging technology have facilitated the healthcare organizations across the world to manage patient's images, records and other data more efficiently. Today, capturing images, archiving and retrieval have already reached great heights, and, further refinements are in progress. The infrastructural requirements for such a venture have to be very finely and judiciously planned well in advance with a view to go filmless as the ultimate objective. Involvement of all concerned and connected agencies is a must e.g. IT, Radiologists, Clinicians and the Vendors.

CASE STUDY 9
ST. LUKE'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Hospitals have been some of the earliest adopters of wireless local area
networks (WLANs). The clinician user population is typically mobile and
spread out across a number of buildings, with a need to enter and access
data in real time. St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in Houston, Texas
(www.stlukestexas.com) is a good example of a hospital that has made
effective use wireless technologies to streamline clinical work processes.
Their wireless network is distributed throughout several hospital buildings
and is used in many different applications. The majority of the St. Luke’s
staff uses wireless devices to access data in real-time, 24 hours a day.
Examples include the following:
• Diagnosing patients and charting their progress: Doctors and
nurses use wireless laptops and tablet PCs to track and chart patient
care data.
• Prescriptions: Medications are dispensed from a cart that is wheeled
from room to room. Clinician uses a wireless scanner to scan the
patient's ID bracelet. If a prescription order has been changed or
cancelled, the clinician will know immediately because the mobile device
displays current patient data.
http://www.stlukestexas.com/

• Critical care units: These areas use the WLAN because running hard
wires would mean moving ceiling panels. The dust and microbes that
such work stirs up would pose a threat to patients.
• Case management: The case managers in the Utilization Management
Department use the WLAN to document patient reviews, insurance
calls/authorization information, and denial information. The wireless
session enables real time access to information that ensures the correct
level of care for a patient and/or timely discharge.
• Blood management: Blood management is a complex process that
involves monitoring both patients and blood products during all stages of
a treatment process. To ensure that blood products and patients are
matched correctly, St. Luke’s uses a wireless bar code scanning process
that involves scanning both patient and blood product bar codes during
the infusion process. This enables clinicians to confirm patient and blood
product identification before proceeding with treatment.
• Nutrition and diet: Dietary service representatives collect patient
menus at each nursing unit and enter them as they go. This allows more
menus to be submitted before the cutoff time, giving more patients
more choice. The dietitian can also see current patient information, such
as supplement or tube feeding data, and view what the patient actually
received for a certain meal.
• Mobile x-ray and neurologic units: St. Luke’s has implemented the
wireless network infrastructure necessary to enable doctors and
clinicians to use mobile x-ray and neurologic scanning units. This makes

SURVEY OF HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT USING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS (WSNS)AM Publications
Using Wireless sensor Networks (WSNs) in health care system has yielded an amazing effort in recent years. However, in most of those researches, tasks like detector processing, health state choices creating and emergency messages causing are completed by a foreign server. Transmission and handing with an oversized scale of knowledge from body sensors consume plenty of communication resource, bring a burden to the remote server and delay the choice time and notification time. During this paper, we tend to gift a paradigm of a sensible entranceway that we've enforced. This entranceway is associate degree interconnection and services management platform particularly for WSN health care systems reception setting. By building a bridge between a WSN and public communication networks, associate degreed being compatible with an aboard knowledge call system and a light-weight info, our sensible entranceway system is enabled to form patients' health state choices in low-power and affordable embedded system and find quicker time interval o the emergencies. We’ve conjointly designed the communication protocols between WSN, entranceway and remote servers. To boot LAN, Wi-Fi and GSM/GPRS communication module are integrated into the sensible entranceway so as to report and send word info to care-givers.

This is particularly the case on e Health monitoring applications for chronic patients, Where Patients
monitoring refers to a continuous observation of patient’s condition (physiological and physical) traditionally
performed by one or several body sensors. The architecture for this system is based on medical sensors which
measure patients’ physical parameters by using wireless sensor networks (WSNs). These sensors transfer data
from patients’ bodies over the wireless network to the cloud environment. The system is aimed to prevent delays
in the arrival of patients’ medical information to the healthcare providers, Therefore, patients will have a high
quality services because the e heath smart system supports medical staff by providing real-time data gathering,
eliminating manual data collection, enabling the monitoring of huge numbers of patients. We underline the
necessity of the analysis of data quality on e-Health applications, especially concerning remote monitoring and
assistance of patients with chronic diseases.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.
Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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
