The COVID pandemic has significantly reduced patient traffic at hospitals due to fears of exposure. A study found that 70% of patients have major concerns about visiting emergency rooms during the pandemic due to fears of exposure to COVID-19 from other patients and staff. Patients were most concerned about waiting rooms and the care delivery areas. To alleviate these fears, the study recommends that hospitals publish patient safety guidelines, provide real-time updates on wait times, and leverage over 300 patient suggestions on improving safety and communication. Addressing patient concerns is critical for hospitals to deliver needed care during the pandemic.
This document discusses the use of social media as a tool in medicine. It finds that nurses and doctors spend 6-10 hours per week online, primarily using Facebook and Instagram. They use social media to research health conditions and treatments, educate patients, and contact other professionals. While social media enables sharing information and building networks, it also poses risks if not used carefully, such as damaging professional images or violating patient privacy. The document provides tips for healthcare professionals to use social media responsibly and avoid legal issues.
This document discusses the quality of health information online and the need for regulation. It introduces the Health On the Net Foundation (HON), a non-profit organization that has developed a code of conduct (HONcode) to certify trustworthy health websites. HON maintains a database of over 7,200 certified sites in over 100 countries that adhere to principles like attributing sources, respecting privacy, and distinguishing advertising. The certification process involves a self-evaluation, review, and placement of a HONcode seal. HON also works to advance access to quality health information and collaborates with other organizations towards this goal.

Future of EMR - Human 360 Experience by Eugene BorukhovichSoftServe
The document discusses the future of electronic medical records (EMRs) and proposes a new concept called "Human360". It notes that current EMR systems are outdated, built on 1960s technology, and provide a rudimentary user experience. Additionally, patients spend very little time directly in medical care. The proposed Human360 system would provide a more personalized and holistic view of an individual's health by integrating data from various sources like wearables, social profiles, genetics, lifestyle habits, and medical devices/records into a single record. This comprehensive approach recognizes that health involves many social and lifestyle factors beyond just medical visits.
The document discusses the rise of internet-savvy health consumers, particularly young people, turning to online sources for medical information and advice. A survey found that six in ten online patients access blogs, news sites, hospital rankings, and other medical information on peer-generated and professional sites. An almost parallel online medical industry is emerging that provides consultation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention advice via chat, phone, or video call without needing to visit a doctor in person. This trend is driven by the convenience of online access to specialists without delays, queues, or high fees associated with in-person visits. Users appreciate the anonymity and candor it allows for better diagnoses.
Universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support means ensuring widespread awareness and access to services. Key barriers to scaling up treatment in India include stigma, lack of women and child-friendly services, discrimination by healthcare providers, inadequate infrastructure and supplies. Actions needed are expanding care services, increasing public-private partnerships, improving infrastructure, and developing partnerships between different organizations. Key targets by 2010 should be 80% access to relevant services within a month, 0% increase in high prevalence areas, 100% ICDS center counselling coverage, and 95% access to treatment education and drugs costs reduced to 10% of production cost.
Infection prevention will require a coordinated effort across all healthcare settings. Currently about 1 in 25 hospital patients have a healthcare-associated infection. These infections negatively impact providers through value-based programs that penalize for poor quality and increased costs. Infection prevention professionals are working with various caregivers and across settings to minimize infection risks before, during, and after hospital stays. Interoperability of data on infections like C. difficile that can spread between settings is still needed to fully track patients and coordinate prevention efforts.

This document proposes the development of an online undergraduate course on zoonotic diseases (diseases transmitted between animals and humans) using a "One Health" approach. The course would introduce foundational infectious disease concepts and then describe common zoonoses. It would raise awareness of zoonoses' global health impacts and encourage medical, veterinary, and public health collaboration. The course would be designed using backward design principles and cover representative zoonoses grouped into modules on vector-borne, livestock, companion animal, and wildlife diseases. Assessment would include quizzes, article analyses, and exams to measure learning objectives.
This document discusses the importance of building a patient-centric hospital website. It notes that 72% of internet users looked online for health information in the past year and 77% began their search at a search engine. It recommends that hospital websites serve actual patient needs by allowing them to schedule appointments, find referrals, fill prescriptions, learn about treatment options, and find information about doctors. The top 10 most patient-centric hospital websites, as determined by a study, are also listed.
Development of a new system for a proactive identification, assessment and communication of zoonosis and food emerging risks

An outbreak of mumps has occurred in northeast Ohio with hundreds of cases reported. Mumps is a contagious viral disease spread through direct contact or respiratory droplets. It causes fever, headache and swelling of the parotid glands. While most cases resolve within 10 days, complications can include meningitis, orchitis and deafness. Public health officials are coordinating a response between local, state and federal agencies to conduct surveillance of cases, track contacts and communicate with the public about risks, especially to vulnerable populations like university students. Ethical considerations around balancing individual rights with public health needs will be important in containment efforts.
The Power of Social in health and healthcareD3 Consutling
This document summarizes key points about the power of social networks in health and healthcare. It discusses how social media is increasingly important for patients and providers. Patients are using social platforms to find support from others experiencing similar health issues and to learn about new treatments. Some healthcare providers are effectively using social media to engage patients and share medical expertise. The document also describes several digital health startups that are connecting patients, caregivers, and medical professionals through social platforms to improve health outcomes.
In this webinar, Dr. Brian C. Castrucci President and Chief Executive Officer of the de Beaumont Foundation, presented new polling about vaccine confidence and Dr. Ayne Amjad, Commissioner and State Health Officer for West Virginia, and Dr. Costello, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at West Virginia University School of Medicine, presented insights from their research and successful vaccine outreach campaign to rural communities in West Virginia. Dr. Lauren Smith, Chief Health Equity and Strategy Officer for CDC Foundation, moderated the conversation and an audience Q&A with Drs. Amjad and Costello.
Contagious diseases have been a global issue throughout history. Various organizations monitor disease outbreaks and work to prevent epidemics. While the media can help spread awareness, their coverage of disease is sometimes exaggerated. Proper surveillance of known and unknown diseases is important for public health efforts. Vaccines have largely helped control diseases, but some choose not to vaccinate due to personal beliefs. Coordinated efforts between health and government agencies are needed to improve disease surveillance and response.

Chapter 7 Discussion. Hundreds of hospitals, clinics, and health departments automatically
report certain symptoms and diagnoses to the government each day. This practice of
biosurveillance helps officials track the spread of flu, detect outbreaks, and watch for odd
symptoms that might signal a brand new disease or bioterrorism. Although information is
reported daily, doctors rarely know what their colleagues nearby are diagnosing. Instead they
often call the health department to ask if anyone has heard of any outbreak of certain cases.

News 2011). Researchers are working on technology that will link local biosurveillance to
electronic health records, and even mobile applications. Providing data on the amount of disease
or infection that is spreading locally can improve diagnosis and treatment methods. Federal
health officials are working to create an easy-to-use web tool that will allow doctors and
consumers to search for local surveillance information. Websites and mobile applications such as
HealthMap, CDC Influenza, and Flu Near You are tools used to track cases in specific areas.
Explore the Web sites (links in the Module) for the CDC, the California Department of Health
Division of Communicable Disease Control, CalREDIE, and HealthMap. HealthMap has a video
in the About section explaining how they gather data and how it can be used . As you explore
these sites look for information on current disease outbreaks. Through the disease reporting in
various databases you can see that information is becoming more widely available to healthcare
providers and the public. Coronavirus (COVID-19) world-wide is being monitored through the
World Health Organization. Links to an external site.US cases are tracked in local and state
databases and nationally by the CDCLinks to an external site. and Johns Hopkins Corona Virus

sources help healthcare providers in treating patients? In your post, provide at least one reason
why technology is.
The Actual Facts When It Comes to 21st Century Chiropractic CareCurtis Martin
Although many of us are well-educated adults, so much of what we “know” comes from off-hand remarks from people at work, exchanges on social media with family and friends, pop-culture in the media, and from what we see on television. How reliable are these sources?
The Empowered Patient of the 21st Century – How Technology Enables Good Medic...Wellbe
The document discusses how 21st century patients, or "e-patients", are empowered through technology to take a more active role in their healthcare by communicating with providers, accessing health records and information online, and using digital tools to monitor conditions. It outlines the priorities and expectations of e-patients, challenges faced by both patients and providers, and how savvy use of technology can enable patient-centered care and chronic disease management. The future will see even more personalized medicine and continuous remote monitoring through implanted devices.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

8. Physicians Can Interact Securely, Discuss Management & Treatment Options, And See Recommended Content
9. Physicians Can Report Suspected Cases Through Ozmosis Current reporting limited to ER/Labs/sentinel physicians Majority of cases present to Primary Care Physicians (PCP) and Urgent Care Clinics (UCC) No universal system of reporting beyond sentinel surveillance for PCP and UCC Submit Health Alerts
10. Learning Lessons From The Use Of Social Media During H1N1 Outbreak Is Critical Alerts need to be filtered at the local level CDC & WHO announcements / policy updates need to be disseminated more effectively and to the appropriate targets Surveillance needs to have verified sources Provider reporting at the local level needs to be more effectively linked to Health Departments
