Summary -- Patient Centered Medical Home the Necessary Foundation for Accountable Care and Population Management.
In the next 10 years, we will be living in 1) mobile world 2) in the middle of an aging and chronic disease epidemic and 3) data. But , we will also have the ability to analyze data in a cognitive way this will do for doctors’ minds what X-ray and medical imaging have done for their vision. How? By turning data into actionable information. Take, for instance, IBM’s intelligent supercomputer, Watson. Watson can analyze the meaning and con-text of human language and quickly process vast amounts of information. With this in-formation, it can suggest options targeted to a patient’s specific circumstances.
We need the basic foundation to support this transformation a system integrator where data at the level of a patients flows and is held accountable and that model is the Patient Centered Medical Home. (PCMH) starts to happen when clinicians/ healers step up to comprehensive relationship based care empowered by tools to manage the data and communicate effectively. This move to PCMH level care requires the discipline of leading a team that delivers population health management, patent centered prevention, care that is coordination, comprehensive accessible 24/7 and integrated across a deliver system and all of that is power by data made into meaningful information.
But at its core it is a move toward integration of a healing relationship in primary care and population management all at the point of care with the tools to do just that.
The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) lies at the center of the effort to get at population health, integrated and coordinated care. PCMH is where the Primary care healer leads an organization that delivers clinician-led primary care, with comprehensive, accessible, holistic, coordinated, evidence-based coordination and management. In the USA this is now the standard in the US Veterans Administration and the US Military and under the ACA.
Avident Health created by doctors to allow better teamwork in healthcare and to engage and educate patients. More teamwork leads to value: Better quality at lower cost.

The Value-Based Musculoskeletal Service LineWellbe
As healthcare reform continues to impact the provision and payment of care, hospitals and healthcare systems are challenged with redesigning the way musculoskeletal (MSK) services are delivered. Reimbursement and incentive structures are evolving toward value-based models and, in turn, organization must evaluate their MSK service lines to ensure that they are:
Integrated – MSK services must encompass the complete continuum of care and bother operative and nonoperative services need to be designed around preventive medicine, acute care, and post-acute care.
Scalable – Prevailing MSK service lines will be aligned with strategic partners to secure needed services and enhance market coverage, strategically and efficiently deploy capital for resources, cultivate population health competencies, and achieve economies of scale.
Rationalized – In addition to reducing costs and enhancing efficiencies, leadership of MSK services across a system of care increasingly must consider the consolidation or redistribution of key programs (e.g. Joint replacement) to optimize resources and ensure high-quality care is provided in the most accessible manner.
Informed – MSK service line leadership will be well informed about potentially drastic shifts in the payment environment at the local, regional, and national level. Further, they will effectively leverage operational and clinical data to inform the decision-making process.
Responsive – In addition to being informed, high-performing MSK programs will exhibit lean, vertical, and proactive leadership and decision-making structures that decisively drive the organization forward, particularly during times of change and uncertainty.
During this 60-minute webinar, John Fink and Todd Godfrey will share examples of how organizations are developing innovative MSK service line programs to keep pace with the shift toward a value-based environment.
Virtual health is supporting continuing efforts to further humanize health care by extending and expanding the concept of a patient-centric care delivery model into one that is truly life-centric.
Virtual health uses telecommunication and networked technologies to connect clinicians with patients (and with other clinicians) to remotely deliver health care services and support well-being. For providers, committing to virtual health at a personal and organizational level affords ever-increasing opportunities to deliver the right care at the right time in the right place, in a connected and coordinated manner.
By strengthening and facilitating a therapeutic alliance between clinicians and patients, virtual health is an important step on our continuous journey to humanize health care. It works within and around a patient’s life, as opposed to their sickness, to deliver care when, where, and how they need and want it. Also, virtual health works its way into consumers’ daily routines by being embedded in electronic devices associated with living life (e.g., smartphones and personal computers) more so than caring for sickness.
The healthcare industry is primed for expanded adoption of virtual health; a 2016 report estimated that the US virtual health market will reach $3.5 billion in revenues by 2022. Several factors are elevating stakeholder interest, including expected physician shortages, continued growth in digital technologies, changing reimbursement models, increasing consumer demand, and the evolving regulatory landscape. One game-changer: Today, nine in 10 American adults use the internet, giving clinicians the capability and flexibility to communicate with and serve health care consumers via the web.
* 77% of patients are willing to use virtual care
* Only 19% have tried it
* Patients won’t use it if they don’t know it’s an option
* Educating clinicians and patients to use virtual care

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving
In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.
Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.
In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.
To Prepare:
Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Post
a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?
By Day 6 of Week 1

All healthcare workers are trained to share the common goal of providing the best quality of care to their patients. Regardless of what role one may serve on the multidisciplinary team, they all have an obligation to accurately assess the needs of the patient, to efficiently collect and record data, to contribute to diagnosing, and to treat/ evaluate properly. “Informatics blend technology and information to blend something new that people, organizations and society can make use of” (Laureate, 2018).

Healthcare by Any Other Name - Centricity Business WhitepaperGE Healthcare - IT
Whether referred to as integrated healthcare or accountable care, the
current focus on new healthcare models is a reaction to long-standing
concerns around quality, cost, and efficiency. Many of these issues stem
from care delivery systems that have been:
• Directed more at episodic treatment than prevention and early intervention
• Fragmented rather than integrated and coordinated
• Focused on patient eligibility and billing rather than patient engagement
within and outside of the care setting
• Customized to the idiosyncrasies of individual facilities rather than
standardized across care sites
• Rewarded more for volume than for quality and cost outcomes
The resulting inefficiencies have made healthcare less effective, less safe,
and more costly than can be tolerated, particularly against the backdrop of
a challenging worldwide economy. The old dictum ‘if you provide healthcare,
they will pay’ no longer applies. Public payers, private payers, and regulatory
agencies are wielding both carrots and sticks to drive healthcare organizations
toward greater coordination, demonstrable quality, and measurable
cost control.
The consensus on what ails our health systems, as well as the availability
of new technologies, has led to the creation of new models of delivery,
such accountable care organizations and integrated health organizations.
By whatever name, these healthcare models are designed to promote
accountability and improve outcomes for the health of a defined population.

The culture of patient safety, quality, and transparency is central to improving care delivery at the organization and industry level. Implementing a sustainable frontline solution like quality checklists will require new leadership, innovative thinking, applications of human factor engineering, and patient voices who demand better. We need to reward staff engagement and quality patient safety efforts which can translate into better patient outcomes. CCG, PSO developed a Clinical Audit Checklist program that can support a culture of transparency and accountability, thereby reducing healthcare costs and delivering positive patient outcomes. Together, we can make continuous daily improvement a standard practice at the hospital and system level. Patients are counting on us to make care delivery safer today for a better patient experience tomorrow.
Continuous Daily Improvement by Front-line Nurses Drives Quality OutcomesiCareQuality.us
Continuous Daily Improvement (CDI) is the cornerstone for delivering high quality and affordable healthcare. In this paper, we advocate an approach that will allow a typical healthcare worker to convert 10 to 15 minute blocks of their unstructured time (that often totals to about 30% of their total time) to structured work that can be applied to CI activities. The result of this effort can be measured through improved clinical outcomes, personal growth and total cost of care while holding the cost of healthcare operations constant.
CloseCareGap is an approved Patient Safety Organization (PSO). Using the award winning clinicalMessage ePlatform, staff can use smart tools to help measure best practice and reduce variations in care delivery at the bedside. The basic PSO toolkit is FREE and can be implemented with a few short clicks via a secure online portal. We have adopted the “IHI Leadership, Support and Care Processes” as critical areas to focus on closing gaps in care using a Continuous Learning Improvement Platform.

Aligning Clinical Practice and Process ImprovementiCareQuality.us
According to recent IOM reports, The Future of Nursing, Nurses can play a key role in the healthcare transformation process. Organizations such as the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the American Nurses Association and Magnet programs have supported and strengthened the mission to improve the nursing profession through education, advanced degrees and certifications. Central to the transformation process is self-regulation and accountability for clinical practice (Code of Ethics, ANA). The Peer Review process affirms the nurse's duty to being accountable for professional practice, competence in skills and knowledge in evidence-based care delivery. Thus, peer feedback promotes patient safety, reduces the likelihood of errors, and addresses the human factor element in patient care delivery to improve patient outcomes.
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

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

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)

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
