Person Centered Care through Integrating a Palliative Approach: Lessons from ...BCCPA
Aging adults are entering residential care facilities with more advanced disease than in the past and their length of stay is shorter. Most health care providers in these facilities do not receive targeted education and training in palliative care, nor are they confident to have crucial conversations about goals of care and end of life challenges with residents and their families. Due to limited capacity to manage predictable symptoms related to end of life and insufficient planning, many residents are transferred to hospital in crisis and die in the Emergency Department or acute care wards.
This presentation will showcase some of the initiatives by identifying common themes, unique features of each and strategies for success. Opportunity will be given for delegates to ask questions and brainstorm how lessons learned from these initiatives could inform the care provided at their own facility.

Leadership at the Bedside – Making the Change that Needs to HappenBCCPA
This panel presentation looks at the role of LPNs and HCAs within the context of the continuing care system. Along with changes to the regulation of LPNs, HCA education has changed including skills to work in both acute, residential and community setting with higher complexity of residents / client. Despite this there is little support for the transition for care needs. The HCA is the unrecognized leaders that support RN/LPN teams and have taken on many roles and responsibilities. The problem that has plagued the LPN and HCA working relationship has been the absence of role clarity for both professions and enhancing value for both working together collaboratively. The presentation will look at a LPN/HCA model that could better serve the health system.

Improving Sustainability of BC's Home and Community Care SystemBCCPA
In the face of unprecedented growth in the seniors population, health systems across Canada are challenged to ensure sustainability while addressing consumer expectations and respecting the wishes of individuals to remain independent as long as possible. Waitlists for access to continuing care services, and the high numbers of seniors that remain in hospital while no longer requiring acute care, demonstrate potential mismatches between supply and demand. As the population of seniors continues to grow, this disparity will continue to increase, unless practices within health systems change. Island Health will share its experiences supporting seniors to live independently.
The Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC) provides a broad range of services to member organizations.This talk will outline a number of the programs and services provided.Topics touched on will include collective bargaining, joint benefit trusts, health human resource planning and knowledge management. Time for questions from the audience will also be available.

Restoring balance through cultural safety & the medicine wheelgriehl
North American culture sees health as an individual problem, but we live in dynamic, intercultural communities. Health is multifaceted with issues related to mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Our culture can be a barrier to caring for our clients. Each area of the medicine wheel needs to be balanced for wholistic health for the client, where the client is the person, family, group, or community. Indigenous teachings support addressing all areas of the person to achieve balance. Cultural safety stresses the importance of reflection and acceptance of differences. We should not treat everyone the same, but we do need to recognize and acknowledge our blind spots.

The demographic profile of the countries suggests that countries are rapidly becoming heterogeneous, multicultural societies. So it is imperative that nurses develop an understanding about culture and its relevance to competent care. Transcultural nursing represents and reflects the need for respect and acknowledgement of the wholeness of all human beings.
It is essential to remember that regardless of race ethnicity or cultural heritage, every human being is culturally unique. Professional nursing care is culturally sensitive, culturally appropriate and culturally competent
Welcome to Careif’s 10th anniversary newsletter.
Careif is an international mental health charity that works towards protecting and promoting mental health and resilience, to eliminate inequalities and strengthen social justice. Our principles include working creatively with humili-ty and dignity, and with balanced partnerships in order to ensure all cultures and societies play their part in our mission of protecting and promoting mental health and well‐being. We do this by respecting the traditions of all world soci-eties, whilst believing traditions can evolve, for even greater benefit to individ-uals and society.
Careif believes that knowledge should not only be available to those with wealth or those who live in urban and industrialised parts of the world. It considers knowledge sharing to be a basic human right, where this knowledge can change lives and help realise true human potential. Further-more there is substantial knowledge to be found in the less developed, rural and poorer areas of the world and this is valuable to the wellbeing of people in areas which are wealthier.
The newsletter has been produced on a voluntary basis by me, Erica Camus, a freelance journalist, and public speaker with schizo-affective. If you’d like to book me for editorial work, or for a talk please contact me on cromptonerica@hotmail.com.
The Global South - Global Mental Health & Psychiatry Newsletter - June 2018Université de Montréal
In this essay, I discuss the evolving notion of the Global South. These considerations point to the need to understand and embrace the emerging characteristics of the Global south that I define as syncretism, conviviality, and porosity. Syncretism is the practice of different religious traditions such as Catholicism and Afro-Brazilian candomblé side by side to create new syntheses of belief and practice. I am applying this more generally to the capacity in the Global south to embrace plurality and difference to create more a more harmonious and inclusive syncretic culture. Conviviality is a similar term invoked by Ivan Illich, emphasizing interdependence. Porosity is an idea I adopted from the work of Walter Benjamin in my work in Brazil and Haiti to soften borders and boundaries in the daily work of culture. What these three notions have in common is a more fluid, less categorical approach to culture, medicine and politics.
Neurological Science Journal, 2017, Vol. 1 No. 1:7. Available in://www.imedpub.com/neurological-science-Journal. The goal is to inform the reader that higher education is a significant player in supplying proficient practitioners, and health care professionals, the necessary skills to administer care to dementia clients.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
