Nephrology leadership program 4 patient safety in dialysis and nephrology au...Ala Ali
This document discusses patient safety in nephrology. It defines safety and harm, and provides the iceberg model of accidents and errors. It notes that adverse events during hospital admission occur in approximately 9% of patients and lead to death in 7% of cases. Many adverse events are preventable. Examples of errors in nephrology include adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, and failures to adhere to protocols. Implementing patient safety requires acknowledging problems, diagnosing issues, accepting responsibility for improvement, encouraging participation, standardizing care through guidelines, and ensuring adherence to guidelines.
This document summarizes a webinar on building Canada's strategy for access to rare drugs. Day 1 focuses on challenges to access. Dr. Cheryl Rockman-Greenberg discusses her work on hypophosphatasia (HPP), a rare bone disease. She outlines the different forms of HPP and clinical studies of asfotase alfa treatment. Asfotase alfa was approved in Canada for pediatric HPP but access challenges remain for adults. Real-world evidence is needed to understand natural history and inform treatment criteria for adults. The HPP patient registry collects global data on treatment effects, safety and outcomes to address knowledge gaps.
HTA was intended to be an independent and evidence-based process to promote optimal use of health technologies. However, it has become owned by payers who use it to limit use and costs. There are calls for HTA processes to be more transparent, include all stakeholders such as patients, and consider personal and societal costs and savings, not just the cost to the healthcare system. For HTA to be effective, cost-effective, and sustainable, it must earn patient trust through meaningful patient engagement in development and decision making.

A Standards-based Approach to Development of Clinical Registries - Initial Le...Koray Atalag
This is the prezo I presented at HINZ 2014 conference.
Gestational diabetes has implications for both mother and child with risk of complications during pregnancy, and type 2 diabetes later in life. This paper presents the initial lessons learned from the development of a clinical registry. The aims of the Registry are: 1) 100% successful diabetes screening within 3 months of delivery; 2) Annual type 2 diabetes screening; 3) Early warning in subsequent pregnancies.
We have employed the openEHR standard which underpins our national interoperability reference architecture to represent the dataset and also to build the web-based registry system. Use of this rigorous methodology to tackle health information is expected to ensure semantic consistency of Registry data and maximise interoperability with other Sector projects. The development work has been facilitated by the ability to transform the dataset automatically into software code – ensuring clinical requirements accurately translated into technical terms.
Dataset has been finalised, registry system has been developed and deployed for pilot implementation. Data entry is underway for participants after consenting.
This registry is expected to increase the screening of women leading to earlier detection of diabetes. It should provide a valuable picture of the condition and is intended for extension and wider roll-out after evaluation.

Multi-Disciplinary Renal Clinic Presentation to Exec LeadershipTJ O'Neil
This document proposes a patient-aligned kidney care model that utilizes a multidisciplinary team approach to manage chronic kidney disease (CKD). It argues that the current model of standalone nephrology clinics is outdated. A multidisciplinary team that includes nephrologists, nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, and social workers could more effectively manage CKD patients, slow disease progression, reduce costs, and improve outcomes. Implementing this model could save the VA money by decreasing hospital admissions, increasing transplant rates, and lowering overall costs of treatment like dialysis.

Revolutionizing Renal Care With Predictive Analytics for CKDViewics
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common and growing condition, affecting about half of the Medicare population and of diabetics. In the United States, the lifetime risk of CKD for 30-year-olds is now greater than half, and the prevalence of CKD is projected to rise significantly over the next 15 years.
Current methods of predicting which CKD patients will progress to renal failure and require dialysis or transplant have low accuracy rates, causing great anxiety and suboptimal care. Without accurate risk prediction, many patients are over-treated, effectively wasting limited resources and negatively impacting outcomes. Conversely, other patients may receive inadequate treatment, restricting options to only the most costly and least desirable interventions.
Watch this on-demand webinar with Dr. Navdeep Tangri, developer of the Kidney Failure Risk Equation, which revolutionizes the way CKD patients are managed by leveraging laboratory data to accurately predict the risk of kidney failure in patients with CKD.
You’ll learn:
• How CKD is burdening our healthcare system, and the need for better care management tools
• How the Kidney Failure Risk Equation was researched, developed, and validated
• How Viewics is implementing CKD predictive analytics to automatically deliver risk information to clinicians and issue customized, educational reports to patients and clinicians

Hypertension and it's role of physiotherapy in it.Vishal kr Thakur
This particular slides consist of- what is hypertension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

4. Our Need Statement
● A reliable, simple, and affordable way to screen for early identification of patients with
Chronic Kidney Disease to initiate treatment early and thus reduce the health and
economic burden of end stage renal disease and cardiovascular events
○ Why reliable?
○ Why simple?
○ Why early?
