Global pharmaceutical companies are modeled with a supply chain, which ensures that the right drug reaches the right people at the right time and in the right condition. The supply chain also ensures 100% product availability at optimum cost by carrying huge inventory, which maintains 100% fill rate. Manufacturers are trying to cut down development time to save costs. For example, a drug manufacturer who can trim development time by 19% can save up to USD 100 million. But if a drug is getting delayed to reach the market, the time delay costs the company around USD 1 million a day. So, pharmaceutical companies today are designing the supply chain to be as responsive as possible to reduce entry time to the market thereby increasing profit margins.

Medicines Use and Spending Shifts: A Review of the Use of MedicinesIMS Health US
Growth in spending on medicines was higher in 2014 than any year since 2001, and
exceeded forecast overall healthcare spending growth for the first time since 2011.
As 2014 was also a landmark year in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act,
understanding the specific drivers of medicine spending growth is important for decisionmakers
across the healthcare system.
In this report we bring together several perspectives on 2014: total system spending on
medicines at an aggregate and segmented level; the evolution of healthcare demand, delivery
and payment systems; patient out-of-pocket costs for medical and pharmacy benefits including
retail prescription co-pays; and transformations in disease treatment resulting from newly
approved medicines.
At this webinar, Steve Sampson (Global Public Affairs) discusses how the upcoming federal budget may contain announcements related to the way healthcare is funded in Canada, including changes to the regulation of pharmaceutical prices. Value for taxpayer money should always be the focus for government, but the need for cost-containment needs to be balanced with access to optimal healthcare innovation for patients.

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

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.
Explore our infographic on 'Essential Metrics for Palliative Care Management' which highlights key performance indicators crucial for enhancing the quality and efficiency of palliative care services.
This visual guide breaks down important metrics across four categories: Patient-Centered Metrics, Care Efficiency Metrics, Quality of Life Metrics, and Staff Metrics. Each section is designed to help healthcare professionals monitor and improve care delivery for patients facing serious illnesses. Understand how to implement these metrics in your palliative care practices for better outcomes and higher satisfaction levels.

Challenges of Pharmaceutical Industry in 2015
blog.ochre-media.com/challenges-of-pharmaceutical-industry-in-2015/
Ochre Media
Pharmaceutical Industry will face multiple challenges in 2015. Scrutiny continues to intensify over the
prices of new drugs and biotech therapies, while demand for drugs escalates more sales and effective
treatments for deadly diseases in the US and the world. The root cause is to pay more attention to the
needs of patients, who have proper insights into the personal impacts of new medicines and trade offs
in risks and benefits involved. Drug Manufacturing will be shaped by these trends in coming months.
Change of Politics: During the
recent overthrow of Democrats by
the Republicans there’s a sense
of change in the political scenario,
as they feel optimistic about
Republicans gain will create
collaborative environment in
Washington and the much needed
legislation will be enacted before
2016 Presidential elections by
putting the new policy initiatives
on hold. The primary debate over
federal budget involves proposals
to hike funding for the National
Institute of Health (NIH) and Food
and Drug Administration (FDA),
as well as emergency support for
research and treatment of Ebola
and other diseases. But outlays
may not be hiked drastically. All sides talk about ratify Tax reforms, including the renewal of tax credits
important to industry research and investments.
Leaders of the House Energy & Commerce Committee are moving forward with the legislation
promoting 21st Century cures. Committee Chairperson Fred Upton plans to issue a discussion draft in
order to move the bill through E&C committee in March so house can vote on it before the Memorial
Day. This will leave time for the Republicans controlled senate to approve similar legislations, with an
aspiration to advance the clinical trials, promoting digital medicine, attracting more young scientists into
biomedical research and providing incentives for developing new drugs and critical therapies.
Looming over these initiatives is the possibility that Supreme Court will rule against the Obamacare
subsidies that acts as reaching medical coverage to millions. Such decisions can curb demand for
prescription drugs and undermines the nation’s healthcare system.
Price factor & Cost effects: The involvement of Drug research, development, production and marketing
continues by the prescription of drug pricing, Health Insurers have launched an aggressive campaign
against the drug manufacturers to hold the line of prices, While Pharmaceutical manufacturers debate
with the Insurers and Pharmacy benefit managers for lightening prescribed drugs and boosting
coinsurance rates to shift more costs to individuals. Consumer suggests FDA to be more active in
veiling comparative studies that can regulate the drug value and continue to force the government to
seek lower prices for the medicines dispensed through Medicare, Medicaid and other Public Health
Programs.
2. Healthcare Insurers are stressing the need for proper pricing of drugs with Pharmaceutical
Companies
Prospects of better R&D in Public Private Partnership will yield higher results in Pharmaceutical Industry
Pipelines and Research Proclivities: Proper Analysis is required to streamline R&D facilities and
prospects for market
approval is more
required for new
therapies. At the same
time the costs of
Pharmaceutical R&D
continues to drop,
according to the latest
analysis by Tufts Center
for the Study of Drug
Development, which puts
the total cost of a new
drug at whopping $2.6
Billion. The distressing
revelation here is lack of
progress in bio-
pharmaceutical R&D
more efficient, by
lowering high failure
rates in experimental
programs and n
developing methods for
reducing the time and
complexity for clinical
research.
Public-Private Partnerships: For a better finance for R&D, Pharmaceutical companies, academic
institutes and the Government organizations has to work closer for better expertise and resource. Not
to profit organizations are working closer with the Pharmaceutical Companies to fund specific drug
development program, whilst Government is investing heavily on R&D activities for the cure of tropical
diseases such as Ebola and conditions that lack sufficient markets to attract private investments.
Broader partnerships will strongly improve the clinical research methods and the systems.
3. Pharmaceutical Quality: FDA has to be aggressive enough to maintain the drug quality by slamming the
pharmaceutical companies who are not meeting sufficient standards in drug manufacturing. As
manufacturers are focusing on new strategies to prevent and detect low quality and adulterated
products in order to protect the Pharmaceutical supply chains in the United States and rest of the world.
Most visible is the reorganization is underway in FDA as its setting up a new Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research that helps in maintaining the Pharmaceutical quality to better coordinate,
review and inspection of drugs.
Patient Centeredness: Efforts are underway to facilitate access to potentially lifesaving therapies have
brought patients to the forefront of important regulatory and research discussions involving assessment
of potential benefits in the face of increased or uncertain risks.
