Kuchinke-The Learning Health System (LHS) Introduction and meeting 1fpdfWolfgang Kuchinke
We present the results of the conference: The Learning Health System (LHS) in Europe - A conference held in Brussels. A comparison between the US and the European approach to implementing a LHS was achieved. The perspective from the US was given by Charles Friedman; the European point of view by Federico Paoli. C. Friedman also introduced the concept of Learning by virtious cycles.
An example for the implementing the LHS in Europe was demonstrated in detail: the TRANSFoRm project, which aims to develop and demonstrate methods, models, standards and a
digital infrastructure for three specific components of the LHS:
– Genotype-phenotype epidemiological studies
– Randomised Clinical Trials (RCTs) with both data and trial processes embedded within the functionality of EHRs
– Decision support for diagnosis, based on clinical prediction rules
Other topics presented were: Sustainability and Business Development ofthe LHS. Knowledge Management & Data Standards in the LHS. Data privacy and security in the LHS (EHR4CR solutions for privacy protection, HIPAA - US experiences with privacy protection, TRANSFoRm Zone Model for data privacy protection, IMI code of practice for the secondary use of health data). Knowledge Translation and Decision Support in the LHS (Decision support for interventions in the LHS, TRANSFoRm Decision support for diagnosis,
TRANSFoRm Extensible model for diagnostic evidence, CareWell - A learning integrated care system, Improving quality of care with routine data: the perspective of a statutory health insurer, The impact on LHS).
CDISC and clinical trial standards in the LHS, pan-European platforms for the re- use of EHRs, TRANSFoRm and CDISC standards, Provenance and GCP for real world clinical trials,
Using Health Data for Innovative Trial Designs, ...
To achieve the goal of Health Equity we need changes principles and values in healthcare and healthcare education, changes in systems for health and the use of patient driven data (Big Data) in order to develop a learning healthcare system.
Unprecedented medical advances in cancer treatments are accompanied with huge financial challenges. Outcome-based payments have been proposed as a potential way to foster earlier access, tackle uncertainty, and address the financial challenge. But payments based on what outcomes? We conducted a literature review exploring what outcomes “matter most” in cancer.

Striving for Excellence, Seeking Value, Sparking a RevolutionNancyElFarargy
Some insights from the 19th Annual IHI/BMJ International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare, Paris, 08-11 April 2014:
The theme of this year’s Forum was “Strive for Excellence, Seek Value, [and] Spark a Revolution!” in healthcare. The meeting attracted over 3000 delegates from over 75 countries – and so it was a great opportunity to cross-fertilise ideas and share cutting-edge practices across international boundaries.
Our work from across NHS Education for Scotland attracted much interest and discussion – not only at the NHS Scotland exhibition stand, but also at the workshop presentations and poster sessions.
Internationally, over 200 sessions were presented by leading thinkers in the field; and covered the following streams:
• Patient and family centred care
• Leading effective change
• Improving population and community health
• Improving clinical performance
• Technology and innovation
• Safe and reliable care
One core theme however, appeared to be patient safety stories, and staff & patient experiences.
The ethos was on reflecting on person centred care – really listening to patients and service users, and understanding what really matters to them. In addition, there were deliberations on taking healthcare completely outside the formal healthcare system and in engaging in health every day. Whilst this concept is not new, it resonates with the notion that “prevention is better than cure”.
One keynote in particular presented the power of narrative in compelling action and transformational positive change.
Another presentation focussed on shadowing the patient journey – to review process maps, the voice of patients, family members and staff, and transitions in care. Using this real-time collection of data and narrative, the organisation was able to review the team effort around the patient, to improve services, interactions and processes. The emphasis was on co-designing services with patients through engagement, partnership and in closing any identified gaps to ideal care delivery.
In summary, a key message emanating is how the complementary nature of data and narrative/story will compel action, catalyse improvements, and drive transformative change for excellence in service delivery.
Understanding the value and contribution of nurses and midwives to public health in the UK - presentation at the Faculty of Public Health annual conference 2016
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Navigating Challenges: Mental Health, Legislation, and the Prison System in B...Guillermo Rivera
This conference will delve into the intricate intersections between mental health, legal frameworks, and the prison system in Bolivia. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current challenges faced by mental health professionals working within the legislative and correctional landscapes. Topics of discussion will include the prevalence and impact of mental health issues among the incarcerated population, the effectiveness of existing mental health policies and legislation, and potential reforms to enhance the mental health support system within prisons.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

What is a clinical academic?
In the UK the following definition is generally agreed as –
‘Clinical Academics are clinically active health researchers. They work in
health and social care as clinicians to improve, maintain or recover health
while in parallel researching new ways of delivering better outcomes for
the patients they treat and care for. Because they remain clinically active,
their research is grounded in the day to day issues of their patients and
the delivery of service. This dual role allows the clinical academic to
combine their clinical and their research career rather than having to
choose between the two’.
