Provision of immediate access to accurate, pertinent, satisfactorily comprehensive clinical information in a dependable and cost-effective manner has long been an elusive goal. Attempts to implement shared record systems (both summary record systems and comprehensive record systems) have proved extraordinarily challenging. However, the Virtual Health Record (VHR) is an entirely new approach to patient information sharing. It is based upon linked regional implementations of a new technology. The methodology commences with a consensus building process amongst providers to determine what information is shared and how it is to be shared? VHR lends itself to an incremental approach to implementation.
Now being implemented in its second and third regions, the Virtual Health Record system is gradually being expanded as the technology and support systems are bedded in and the clinicians across each region learn to trust one another and work closely together to deliver a highly functional and reliable method of communication.
The Virtual Health Record is proving to be a viable method for sharing information across the healthcare ecosystem.
Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) shared this presentation with constituents at town hall meetings across North Carolina's 10th District in August, 2011.
The document discusses how Nokia is working to enhance communication methods beyond traditional voice calls. It notes that while the mobile phone allows universal connectivity, the ways people communicate are expanding through SMS, instant messaging, email, VoIP and more. However, access to these services is not as universal as voice calls. Nokia's Technology Collaboration Center is working with operators and internet providers to integrate richer content and styles of communication to make connections more natural. The goal is to deploy these enhanced communication technologies more widely to improve interoperability globally.
Disinflation momentum continues…
Consumer Price Index (CPI, 2005=100) moderated further in Mar ’09 to 3.5% YoY (Maybank IB estimate: 3.7% YoY; Consensus estimate: 3.6% YoY) from 3.7% YoY in Feb 09 and the peak of 8.5% YoY in Jul-Aug ‘08. This marked the seventh consecutive month of disinflation. MoM, inflation rate was down by 0.2%, the sixth sequential drop over the past seven months. Led by “disinflation” in Food and Non Alcoholic Beverages (FNAB) prices and “deflation” in Transport costs... The YoY increase in FNAB prices slowed for the sixth straight month while Transport costs declined for the fourth month in a row. Both account for 47.3% of CPI’s basket of goods and services and ¾ of last month inflation rate. There were no significant movements or notable changes in the price trends of other goods and services. Consequently, our measure of CPI ex-FNAB and Transport was little changed at 2.1% YoY last month compared with 2.2% YoY in the preceding month. Technical deflation is on the card as % YoY monthly inflation rate may turn negative between mid-year up to late-3Q09 or early-4Q09 due to the high-base from last year’s sharp hike in fuel and energy prices, as well as taking cue from the producer price index (PPI) which has turned negative since Nov ‘08. Therefore, maintaining our 2009 and 2010 inflation rate forecasts of 1% and 1.5% respectively, which is a marked deceleration from 5.4% in 2008 amid the environment of global/local economic downturn and lower commodity prices. Year-to-date inflation rate is 3.7%.

A presentation by Australia's Chief Medical Officer, Professor Jim Bishop AO, for the Australiasian college for Emergency Medicine 27th Annual Scientific Meeting - Canberra
Amsa annual national leadership development seminar 30 aug 2010Department of Health
The document discusses Australia's health system and outcomes. It shows that while Australia ranks highly for health expenditures and outcomes, challenges remain from non-communicable diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. It outlines initiatives to address tobacco use, promote healthy living, fund medical research, expand the healthcare workforce, and implement clinical guidelines to improve health and reduce disease burden going forward.
The document discusses Australia's health system and reforms. It shows that Australia ranks high for health expenditure per capita compared to other OECD countries, both publicly and privately. Major causes of disease burden are projected to increase, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Reforms include establishing Medicare Locals to better coordinate primary care, developing e-health records, and releasing clinical guidelines to improve practices for conditions with high disease burden.
Defence Health Leadership Institute (DHLI) Panel DiscussionsDepartment of Health
This document discusses health trends and reforms in Australia. It shows that chronic diseases are increasing while some cancers are declining. New structures like Medicare Locals and clinical guidelines aim to improve coordinated, evidence-based care. Reforms also seek to expand the health workforce to strengthen primary care and address workforce shortages.
The document discusses new models of care needed due to increasing healthcare demands from an aging population and constrained resources. It notes rising medical card usage and healthcare costs for older groups. While primary care doctors make up a smaller portion of physicians compared to other countries, larger primary care centers in the future could provide selected procedures with sufficient volumes more efficiently than hospitals. The "sweet spot" is described as having strong clinical leadership, better patient experience, and more efficient resource use through approaches like increased scale and multi-disciplinary teams in primary care settings.
This document summarizes a study analyzing usage patterns of electronic journals accessed through the ERMED consortium at a university medical college library in India between February 2010 and January 2011. Some key findings were that online journals were accessed 4 times more than print journals, full text downloads totaled 4042, and only 44.3% of the 1780 journals covered were actually used. The document recommends further examining impact and usage across all ERMED libraries to better understand utilization and user satisfaction.
The document outlines the Australian government's new approach to strengthening the aged care complaints scheme. It discusses feedback received from the aged care sector calling for improvements such as local resolution of complaints where possible, expanded resolution options, transparency and accountability, quality and consistency, clear communication, procedural fairness, and continuous engagement with the sector. The presentation notes improvements that should already be seen or are in progress based on this feedback.

A presentation by Australia's Chief Medical Officer, Professor Jim Bishop AO,to the PHAA 12th National Immunisation Conference in Adelaide 17 August 2010
This document discusses developments in the health sector and cancer in Australia. It notes that Australia ranks highly among OECD countries for health expenditure per capita and health outcomes. Cancer mortality rates have declined significantly for several types of cancer due to public health measures like tobacco control, screening programs, and improved treatments. However, obesity rates are rising and greater efforts are needed to address risk factors like physical inactivity, diet, and alcohol to further reduce the cancer burden.
A presentation by Australia's Chief Medical Officer, Professor Jim Bishop AO, on Cancer Control in Australia - Institute of Cancer Research 12 July 2010
This document discusses chronic diseases in Australia and reports that:
- Chronic diseases represent the major disease burden in Australia, with conditions like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory disease posing significant challenges.
- While tobacco control initiatives have seen smoking rates decline, other determinants of chronic disease like obesity, high blood pressure, and alcohol consumption continue to increase and impact population health.
- The Australian government has implemented initiatives through the National Preventative Health Agency and Australian Health Survey to better understand and address chronic disease, with over $2 billion allocated in 2009/10 for cancer control programs.
This document summarizes information about the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic presented by Professor Jim Bishop. It provides an overview of the epidemiology and severity of the 2009 H1N1 virus, its impact on transplant recipients, and the current global situation. Some key points are that the 2009 H1N1 virus resulted in over 37,000 cases and 191 deaths in Australia, with higher rates of hospitalization and ICU admission compared to seasonal influenza. It also resulted in significant illness in transplant recipients, though antiviral treatment reduced complications. Currently, influenza activity is low in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
