While the goals were to reduce state hospital beds and shift funding to community services, implementation challenges led to service disruptions and increased costs. Recent efforts aim to improve coordination between psychiatry, primary care, and other providers.

This document presents a blueprint for advancing high-value maternity care through physiologic childbearing. It outlines six strategies to transform the maternity care system: 1) Improve care delivery and payment through innovative models like episode-based payment and maternity care homes. 2) Advance performance measurement to improve quality. 3) Meaningfully engage women and families in care planning. 4) Transition to interprofessional education for maternity care professionals. 5) Optimize the maternity care workforce composition and distribution. 6) Conduct priority research on physiologic childbearing and its impact on outcomes. The blueprint provides recommendations and action steps within each strategy to increase access to healthy physiologic processes and address barriers to optimal care.
For my pre-internship class we researched an occupation that interested us. I choose PA because it is my long-term goal to further my education and attend PA school.
This document discusses the career of a physician's assistant. It provides a brief history of the profession, noting that PAs were created in the 1960s to address a shortage of primary care physicians. Today, PAs work in many medical settings under a physician's supervision to examine patients, diagnose illnesses, treat minor injuries, and prescribe medications. To become a PA requires a bachelor's degree with science prerequisites, healthcare experience, a competitive GRE score and GPA, and obtaining a master's degree from an accredited PA program. The author is interested in PA programs at Emory University, Baylor College of Medicine, and the Medical University of South Carolina and believes their skills and interests make them a good fit for this growing career.
This document discusses a study that assessed parents' ability to accurately measure and administer liquid medications using common measuring instruments. Some key points:
- 302 parents were asked to measure a test medication using 6 different instruments, including dosing cups and oral syringes.
- Errors were frequent, especially with dosing cups. Only 30-50% of parents measured accurately with dosing cups.
- 91% of parents measured accurately using oral syringes.
- Both the type of instrument and parents' health literacy impacted error rates. Dosing cups were associated with overdosing errors. Parents with low health literacy were most likely to make errors.
- The findings suggest parents should be advised to
The document provides information on the role and educational requirements of a physician assistant, including that PAs diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication under physician supervision; most PA programs take 26 months to complete and require prerequisites similar to medical school; and PAs must graduate from an accredited program, pass a certifying exam, and obtain state licensure.

Here are the key points from the reflection:
- She was in the Emergency Room (ER) for her week 11 rotation.
- On the first day, she saw a variety of patients come through with different conditions from minor injuries to more serious issues. This exposed her to the fast-paced nature of the ER.
- One patient stood out - a young man who had been assaulted and suffered multiple facial fractures. It was eye-opening to see the severity of his injuries.
- On the second day, she observed triage and how patients are prioritized based on the seriousness of their conditions. She also saw how paperwork and documentation is handled.
- Overall, it was a valuable learning experience
The document summarizes research and analysis conducted to recommend dietetic internships for a student named Jackie to apply to.

Does Over-Masturbation Contribute to Chronic Prostatitis.pptxwalterHu5
In some case, your chronic prostatitis may be related to over-masturbation. Generally, natural medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can help mee get a cure.
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance

Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
