This document discusses the growing challenge of chronic diseases for Ireland's health services. It notes that 38% of Irish people over 50 have one chronic disease and 11% have more than one, and these diseases are expected to increase by over 30% in the next 5 years. Chronic diseases currently account for 76% of deaths, 80% of GP visits, 40% of hospital admissions, 75% of bed days, and 55% of health expenditures. The document warns that without changes, chronic diseases will result in more people with illness and disability, higher costs for the health services, and an unsustainable public health system. It identifies diabetes, heart disease, stroke, asthma and COPD as the "Big Six" chronic diseases.
This document contains demographic and socioeconomic data for multiple local government units. It includes information on population size and density, poverty incidence, progress towards Millennium Development Goals, health facilities, road infrastructure, electrification rates, human development indices, economic indicators, and major industries for each area. The data is presented in table format and compares current statistics to targets for 2015.
Population in 2010 was 126,803 people with a growth rate of 1.25%. A majority (72.79%) of households had incomes below the poverty threshold, with 15,487 households classified as living in poverty according to 2008 data. While progress has been made towards achieving several Millennium Development Goals, targets for 2015 regarding infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate, elementary school participation and completion rates may not be reached based on 2012 levels.
The population of the city in 2010 was 561,219 with a population density of 119.03 people per square kilometer and a growth rate from 2007 to 2010 of 0.92%. Poverty incidence among the population in 2012 was 36% and among families was 28.3% with 9.6% of families living in subsistence. Several MDG targets for 2015 related to infant mortality, maternal mortality, education participation and completion rates, access to water and sanitation, and energization of villages are not expected to be achieved at current levels. The city has 18 rural health units, 4 birthing clinics, 3 BEmOC facilities, and 198 barangay health stations. 90.38% of roads are
This document summarizes Macmillan's 2006 rebranding efforts. It discusses Macmillan's ambition to reach and improve the lives of everyone living with cancer.

General introduction by Frank van Genne, Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen, The Netherlands
Australian Government and Police GazettesCarole Riley
Australians are fortunate in being able to access government and police gazettes for their family history research. We can find out so much about our ancestors, no matter what their occupation or lawfulness.
India's public health system includes over 5,000 hospitals, 8.7 million hospital beds, 500,000 doctors, and 737,000 nurses. The system is managed by state and central governments. Major public hospitals in urban areas include specialized hospitals like AIIMS with 1,500-2,000 beds, cancer and TB hospitals with 500-1,000 beds, and medical college and district hospitals with 500 beds. Rural public health services are generally poor due to lack of resources, overburdening, corruption, and lack of planning. Private urban health systems are more advanced but also more expensive, catering primarily to rich and middle-income groups through insurance. They integrate pharmacy, testing, and inpatient/out

The document discusses a panel discussion from the 2010 annual meeting of the IPHA. The panel included Prof Frances Ruane, Dr Fergus O'Ferrall, and Mr Jimmy Tolan. They likely discussed topics relevant to the organization in a session during the annual meeting.
The poster depicts two men standing side by side holding shotguns in cold weather clothing, ready to shoot something they perceive as a threat. Their facial expressions suggest one man is serious while the other is shocked, indicating trouble and tension in their dangerous situation. The dull blue background, bold red title "Cell", and slogan "Fear your phone" imply the men will face danger and violence related to a mobile phone.
Thriller films are more popular among women than men by 16% according to a pie chart. A bar chart shows that those aged 18-24 like thriller films the most compared to other age groups. Thriller films may be more popular among women because they tend to go to the movies in groups for safety and men go to impress their girlfriends or prove their bravery. Those aged 18-24 likely enjoy thrillers because they seek thrills and aren't afraid, and have free time and money to spend on movies. The document recommends focusing on characters that women and those aged 16-24 can relate to for a bigger audience.
This document discusses chapters 1-3 of a book on Indigenous views of wholistic medicine and Iroquois medical botany. It outlines the chapters and provides details on Iroquois conceptions of health, illness, and folk medicine. Specifically, it describes how the Iroquois viewed imbalances in human beings as caused by offensive behaviors, taboo violations, unfulfilled desires, or things/events/people that radiate evil. It also discusses Iroquois categories of illness and how folk medicines work to restore spiritual balance based on the principle that all things have a life force and imbalance implies a disruption of that force.

The document discusses challenges facing healthcare funding and delivery in Ireland. It notes that healthcare expenditure has grown significantly in recent decades and now accounts for 30% of government spending. However, government funding will be reduced with €7-8 billion in cuts required by 2014. At the same time, an aging population and rise in chronic conditions will increase demand for services. The current funding and delivery models are unsustainable under these pressures. A new integrated approach is needed that separates payors from providers and better manages care for the elderly with chronic conditions.
Healthcare Services Sector Update - June 2016Duff & Phelps
The S&P Healthcare Services Index increased 1.3% over the past month, outperforming the S&P 500, which remained flat over the same period. The best performing sectors were Managed Care – Government (up 11.5%), Healthcare REITs (up 8.6%) and Other Services (up 6.5%) as certain of the companies in these sectors reported strong financial performance during the month.

The document discusses branding and building trust-based relationships. It outlines 5 steps to build a brand: 1) scan the environment, 2) know your audience, 3) define a positioning statement, 4) develop messages, and 5) deliver messages. It emphasizes the importance of transparency, joining conversations offline and online, engaging through expert channels and sources, and informing in real time.
This document provides an overview of India's health system, including its historical evolution, key components, goals, and models of health care delivery. It discusses the health system at the central, state, and local levels in India. At the central level, the main organizations are the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Directorate General of Health Services, which are responsible for policymaking, planning, and coordinating health programs and services. Implementation occurs at the state level through state health ministries and departments. Health care services are then delivered through a three-tiered system at the district, block, and village levels. The document also examines concepts of health systems, methods of financing, and challenges faced.
Healthcare Sector Update - December 2015Duff & Phelps
While the S&P 500 increased 4.6% over the last three months, several factors drove far greater appreciation of diagnostic imaging device shares, which outperformed the S&P by 26%. However, challenges that stifle future performance provide an overhang.

This document discusses pharmaceuticals in the environment, including reasons for increased interest, pathways of entry, and methods of detection. Interest grew due to declines in eagle and aquatic populations from drugs. Pharmaceuticals enter the environment through urine/feces, manufacturing waste, bathing, and improper disposal, traveling through sewage, air, soil, surface water and groundwater. Detection methods involve collecting solid/water samples, filtration, extraction, separation by HPLC, and mass spectrometric quantification.
This document summarizes information from an Irish Hip Fracture Database (IHFD) audit report. It notes that over 50% of major traumas in Ireland result from falls under 2 meters. The elderly population is increasing significantly, putting more at risk for falls and fractures. The IHFD aims to optimize care for hip fracture patients through audits of hospitals. The 2015 audit found improvements were needed in meeting blue book standards for surgery time, assessments, and post-fracture care. Overall, the audit identified opportunities to strengthen fall prevention programs and bone health services to reduce fractures and improve outcomes for elderly patients.
This report examined the association between renal failure admissions (RFA) to hospitals in Victoria, Australia and socioeconomic disadvantage across 79 local government areas from 2011-2014. The results showed that RFA rates varied inversely with socioeconomic disadvantage and the most disadvantaged areas had RFA rates 2.4 times higher than the least disadvantaged areas. Areas with high RFA rates also had high rates of other conditions like heart failure and COPD. The variations in RFA rates likely reflect factors like access to adequate care, delayed referral to nephrology services, and lack of understanding about the disease among patients. Addressing chronic kidney disease and renal failure remains a public health challenge.

This document discusses health issues that disproportionately affect men in the UK. It provides statistics showing that men have higher rates of death under age 75 than women, and shorter life expectancies. Certain diseases like circulatory disease and cancer have higher mortality rates among men. Men also have higher rates of obesity, smoking, alcohol-related hospital admissions, and long-term health conditions than women. However, men are less likely than women to recognize symptoms of health conditions and use NHS services. Addressing these health issues could help reduce avoidable male deaths.

1) The study examined the association between social deprivation and hip fracture rates in England over a 10-year period from 2001-2011.
2) It found that social deprivation had a stronger link to higher hip fracture rates in men compared to women.
3) While hip fracture rates declined in women and increased in men overall during this period, the gaps in rates between more and less deprived areas did not narrow for men and widened somewhat for women.
Falls Prevention and Bone Health in Long Term Care Setting - A Management App...anne spencer
This document discusses falls prevention and bone health management in long-term care settings. It notes that falls are a major reason for emergency department visits among older adults and result in injuries costing over €404 million annually. The document outlines a falls prevention program called "Forever Autumn" implemented at St. Mary's Hospital, which included staff education and a new falls risk assessment tool. An evaluation found the program led to a 38% reduction in falls at one facility and 15% reduction at another, compared to pre-implementation data. It emphasizes the importance of bone health and a proactive rather than reactive approach to falls prevention among older adults through education.

Collaborating to Improve our Public’s Healthwalescva
This document summarizes key demographic and health challenges facing Wales, including an aging population, high rates of child poverty, and health inequalities. The major causes of mortality are circulatory disease and cancer. Other issues include high rates of smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, and non-communicable diseases. Emergency admissions and infant mortality are higher in deprived areas. To address these issues, the document calls for a preventative approach that reduces inequalities and keeps people healthier through the life course. This involves early year interventions, primary care reform, engaging communities, and aligning social policy.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
