The health coach focused on validating the mother's concerns, showing empathy, and asking open-ended questions to engage her in problem-solving. This helped reduce the mother's defensiveness from prior judgment. The mother admitted her daughter's weight was a problem and, in response to questions, identified unhealthy eating habits and potential solutions like reducing chips/pop and portion sizes, showing her growing commitment to change. The coach reflected this change talk to affirm and support the mother.

32 Food Myths That You Need to Stop Believing TodayMealime
Every day, it seems that there's a new "superfood" on the block promoting unique weight loss and health benefits.
And many times every day, a new nutrition article is published regurgitating food myths that have long since been proven false by science.
It's a sad truth that nutrition news is filled with blatantly false information despite scientific consensus. So we went in search of the most repeated food myths that still persist today in spite of evidence proving the opposite.
Our research uncovered 32 food myths that appear time and time again.
We still believed many of these myths until we learned the data-supported positions of scientists around the world.
We learned that it's incredibly important to approach nutrition news with an attitude of suspending beliefs until data can back them up (or refute them).
So look for the data we did...
This list of food and nutrition myths is far from comprehensive, but I'm sure many of them will surprise you. We're hoping that you'll consider the myths here, do your own research, and come to your own, data-driven conclusions.
After all, that's what knowledge is all about.
Let's get to the food myths.

Creating value through patient support programsSKIM
How do we become more patient-centered as an organization? How do we ensure the patient/caregiver experience is as optimal as possible?
These are the questions that are being poised to healthcare market researchers in today’s healthcare landscape. And typically healthcare market researchers are turning to methods like “patient journeys” and “patient personas” to help bring that patient-centered understanding to the organization. Problem is … in order to be truly patient-centered, you need to take this charge on from the inside out.
Experience, Design and Innovation departments are springing up in all kinds of healthcare organizations intent on facilitating the organizational shift towards patient-centricity. And, unfortunately, market researchers are intentionally not being invited to the table. If history repeats itself, that will soon change though. These Experience, Design and Innovation departments will need the rigor and breadth of method knowledge that market researchers have in order to succeed in the strategic agendas of their work.
This presentation will give market researcher pointers on which skills, methods and mindsets they’ll likely need to adopt if they are hoping to be perceived as a valued contributor to an Experience, Design or Innovation team. In essence, give attendees a blueprint for how to open up a whole new professional opportunity for themselves, with a simple reframe on whom they are and what they do.
The process of curing a patient requires an approach which involves considerations beyond treating a disease. It requires several skills in a doctor along with technical expertise. Studies have shown that good communication skills in a doctor improve patient’s overall satisfaction.

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

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
ICH Guidelines for Pharmacovigilance.pdfNEHA GUPTA
The "ICH Guidelines for Pharmacovigilance" PDF provides a comprehensive overview of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines related to pharmacovigilance. These guidelines aim to ensure that drugs are safe and effective for patients by monitoring and assessing adverse effects, ensuring proper reporting systems, and improving risk management practices. The document is essential for professionals in the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory authorities, and healthcare providers, offering detailed procedures and standards for pharmacovigilance activities to enhance drug safety and protect public health.
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

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
Telehealth Psychology Building Trust with Clients.pptxThe Harvest Clinic
Telehealth psychology is a digital approach that offers psychological services and mental health care to clients remotely, using technologies like video conferencing, phone calls, text messaging, and mobile apps for communication.
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)

Discussion
3.
4. Health coaching is a patient-centered approach to
delivering care.
Researches have shown that half of patients leave
medical visits without understanding the
clinicians’ advice.
In only 10% of visits the patients are involved in
making the decisions. Patients who are not
involved in decision-making do not follow the
clinician’s advice so they lack skills to manage
their health & prevent disease.
This can lead to poor health outcomes for the
patient and frustration for the clinician
Lack of support to make better choice
5. Health coaching can be defined as
helping patients gain the knowledge,
skills, tools and confidence to become
active participants in their care so that
they can reach their self-identified health
goals.
6. Health coaches empower patients
to play a central role in clinical
encounters and to engage in self-
management activities at home,
work, and schools, where they
spend most of their lives.
7. Does your practice “give patient a
fish” or “teach patient how to fish”?
????????
8. The familiar saying
“Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach
a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime,”
demonstrates the difference between rescuing a
patient and coaching a patient.
In acute care, rescuing makes sense: surgery for
acute appendicitis or antibiotics for
pyelonephritis.
For chronic care, patients need the knowledge,
skills and confidence to participate in their own
care.
9. Help patients
Clarify personal health goals
Implement and sustain healthy behaviors
Reduce negative impact of chronic disease
Guide patients in self-management
Skill development
Problem solving
It will improve health & quality of life.
To minimize the cost of health services.

10. Health coaching is the practice of
health education and health
promotion within a coaching context to
enhance the well-being of individuals
and to facilitate the achievement of
their health related goals.
11. Health Coaching Model:

Care plan (Action Plan) is Client
driven
Client collaborates with health

Health Coach teaches, guides,
supports, links clients to
resources
Client makes decision on level of
participation (Experiential

Health Education Model:
Health Provider Centric
Care plan is prescribed by
health provider
Health provider is regarded
as the authoritarian memb.,
The specialist Views patient
as compliant or non
compliant with prescribed

16. Coaching involves a paradigm shift from a
directive to a collaborative model so that care
teams and patients follow an active partnership,
instead of patients being passive recipients of
care.
While physicians are well-trained to “give
patients a fish” – curing an acute problem
or prescribing medications for a chronic
condition –
health coaching teaches patients and
families “how to fish”.

20. Coaching VS Mentoring
Relationship generally has specific
duration
relationship that can last for a long
period of time
Generally more structured in nature
and meetings are scheduled on a
regular basis
Can be more informal and meetings
can take place as and when the mentee
needs some advice, guidance or support
Short-term and focused on specific
development areas/issues
More long-term and takes a broader
view of the person
Coaching is specific and skills-
focused
Mentor is usually more experienced
and qualified than the ‘mentee’.
Focus is generally on
development/issues at work
Focus is on career and personal
development
The agenda is focused on achieving
specific, immediate goals
Agenda is set by the mentee, with the
mentor providing support and guidance
to prepare them for future roles

31. Health coaching encompasses five
principal roles:
1) providing self-management support,
2) bridging the gap between clinician and
patient,
3) helping patients use the health care
system,
4) offering emotional support and
5) serving as a continuity figure
32. 1-Providing self-management support.
Coaches train patients in seven domains of self-
management support:
A.providing information,
B.teaching disease-specific skills,
C.promoting healthy behaviors,
D.providing problem-solving skills,
E.assisting with the emotional impact of chronic illness,
F. providing regular follow up and
G.encouraging people to be active participants in their care.
A meta-analysis of 53 randomized controlled trials
concluded that self-management support
improves blood pressure and glucose control
33. 2-Bridging the gap between clinician and patient.
Prescribing medications is one example. It is a two-part
endeavor:
1. writing prescriptions and
2. making sure patients obtain, understand and actually take the
medications as prescribed.
Physicians perform part one but lack time to address the
critical second part.
Health coaches can bridge these gaps by following up with
patients, asking about needs and obstacles, and addressing
health literacy, cultural issues and social-class barriers
Clinician

Health Coach
34. 3-Helping patients use the health care system.
Many patients, particularly the elderly,
disabled and marginalized, need a coach.
Coaches can help coordinate care and speak
up for patients when their voices are not
heard
35. 4-Offering emotional support.
Well-intentioned but rushed clinicians
may fail to address patients' emotional
needs.
As trust and familiarity grow, coaches
can offer emotional support and help
patients cope with their illnesses to
overcome emotional challenges.
36. 5-Serving as a continuity figure.
Coaches connect with patients not
only at office visits but also between
visits, creating familiarity and
continuity.

5-Making the change
Get closer to being who you want to be, having what you
want to have and achieving what you want to achieve
56. Before offering education or advice, the physician should
first assess the patient's knowledge about the connection
between for example lifestyle choices and reductions in
coronary artery disease (CAD) risk.
The objective of the Elicit-Provide-Elicit (E-P-E) technique
is to find out what the patient already knows, fill in the gaps
or correct misconceptions, and explore how this will fit into
the patient's life.
This is a time saving strategy that both validates patient
knowledge and allows time to address barriers.
57. Elicit: Find out what the patient already
knows by asking him or her directly
Provide: Fill in the gaps and/or correct any
misconceptions the patient may have
Elicit: Find out what this information
means to the patient's life
58. The following is an example of a hypothetical discussion
between a physician and patient using the E-P-E
technique in the treatment of dyslipidemia:
Elicit: “Mr. sameh, I'm interested about what you
already know about reducing your risk of coronary heart
disease. Do you mind telling me?”
Provide (after patient response): “You are exactly right
about diet and exercise playing a big part, even though it
can be hard. I'd like to add how important medications
can be...”
Elicit (after patient response): “Of everything we just
mentioned, what is the biggest challenge for you? What
could help you in this area?”
59. Visit One
“Patient Z is 5 years old and weighs 60 Kg. At the beginning of the session,
things are tense. Mom has lots of sustain talk (against possibility of change)
and states that she can’t do anything for the child because she is hungry all
the time. I realize that Mom has experienced lots of judgment from other
health care practitioners about her parenting skills, so I concentrate on
validating, showing empathy and, in general, engaging her. As Mom starts to
relax, I ask an open question about what she feels her child’s health problems
might be. She admits that it is probably her weight, but shares that she has no
idea how to do anything about it. I resist the righting reflex and, instead of
jumping into the advice mode, I ask another open question about her
daughter’s eating habits and what she feels she could do to help. Her mother
responds that her daughter eats very large portions and a lot of chips and
popcorn. She said that it may be helpful to cut out the chips and pop and
decrease the amount of food that her daughter eats each day. I reflect her
change talk and affirm commitment to her daughter’s health and her plan.
60. Visit Two
“Mom is the only one here this time. She eagerly
shares that she has been limiting Z’s intake of
chips from a daily large bag to a small bag and
she has also cut out all soda drinks. She also
states that when Z demands food, she offers
healthier smaller portions and encourages
the child to play outside. Again, I reflect and
evoke more change talk, provide support and
encouragement, and end with a genuine
affirmation for her efforts and commitment.”
61. Visit Three
“Mom, Dad and Z are here today and there is great news!
Mom has lost 3.5 kg and Z has lost 4.5 kg! The whole family
has been active in the dietary and weight loss program.
Mom has cut down on the portion sizes of meals with
more vegetables. I affirm and ask an open question
about how she is doing this, to evoke more change
talk.
Mom shares that she has bought smaller plates to make her
daughter think she is eating a full plate.
In addition, Dad is very involved in the program now; he
states he is encouraging sugar-free drinks instead of
sugared ones. Lastly, Z’s older sister is not giving out
snacks without first consulting the parents. The whole
family is now more active – walking and playing
outside and working together in an effort to help Z live
62.
63. We can ask the diabetic patient two questions:
1-What do you like about eating chocolate?
2-What don’t you like about eating chocolate?
64. The 1st
question answer will point to healthier
behaviors that can address the same reasons why the
patient eats chocolate to stay alert at work. So the
coach and the patient can brainstorm healthier
alternatives such as going for a walk or doing
exercise or drinking coffee.
The 2nd
question answer reveals the patient’s
awareness about the effects of eating chocolate. If
the patient aware that this behavior will lead to wt
gain or high blood sugar, then the patient is more
ready to change than a patient who is unaware of
these health effects. So this patient needs a health
education discussion before doing starting an action
plan.

66.
67. Two models of health coaching
The health coaching role can be added to a
medical practice in a variety of ways, but two
models have been particularly successful
68. Piloted in 2006 at the San Francisco General Hospital Family
Health Center (FHC), the “teamlet” (small team) model extends
the 15-minute primary care visit by several minutes, depending
on the patient, to include coaching.
In a teamlet, a physician is paired with medical assistant (MA) or
health worker who has received training in self-management
support and specific chronic conditions and speaks the language
of the patients assigned to him or her.
Health coaches conduct a pre-visit for medication reconciliation
and agenda setting, assist during the physician visit and, during a
post-visit, assess whether patients understand and agree with the
recommended care plan and engage patients in behavior-change
action plans. Because regular follow-up improves chronic disease
outcomes, between-visit phone calls are used to check on action
plans and medication adherence
69. Example:
Mrs. Nawal has hypertension, obesity, osteoarthritis and poor
eyesight. She and her dr used to feel overwhelmed by her medical and
accompanying social problems. Her dr frequently admonished her to
take her medications, but Mrs. Nawal felt confused about her pills and
never spoke up about it. When health coach Nagy was brought in to
assist, Mrs. Nawal was hesitated but willing to participate. Nagy
started by asking questions to better understand Mrs. Nawal‘
concerns, instead of just telling Mrs. Nawal to take her pills. Mrs.
Nawal came to trust Nagy and, over time, became an active
participant in her own care rather than simply a recipient of
information.
Now, a week after each physician visit, Nagy calls Mrs. Nawal to ask
whether she has picked up her prescriptions from the pharmacy, to
assess her understanding of how to take each medication and to
encourage her to take the pills daily. Nagy always asks Mrs. Nawal to
identify barriers and solutions that fit into her daily routines rather
than doing this for her. He communicates these barriers to her Dr. so
that Mrs. nawal care plan can be readjusted as needed.
70. Patients discharged from the hospital often feel confused about their
new medications and the conditions that they must now learn to
manage. This makes them excellent candidates for health coaching.
The Care transitions interventions is a widely-used coaching
method that imparts skills, tools and confidence to patients and family
caregivers as they move from hospital to home. It is focused on “four
pillars ”:
1. Having a reliable medication management strategy,
2. Overcoming barriers to follow-up appointments,
3. Knowing how to recognize and respond to worsening signs and
symptoms,
4. Using a personal health record to record 30-day goals, health
information and key questions to be shared with the physician at
upcoming health care encounters.
71. The Care Transitions coach (nurse or
social worker) visits the patient once in the
hospital and once at home, and
communicates with the patient three times
by phone. Here's an example:
72. Mrs. Somia was admitted to the hospital
four times in the past three months because
of heart failure exacerbations. Each time,
she required modest medication
adjustment over two hospital days. Upon
each discharge, she was given instructions
and sent home. After her fourth admission,
she was enrolled in the Care Transitions
Intervention.
73. Her coach, Hassan visited her 48 hours after discharge and
encouraged Mrs. Somia to identify a health-related goal for the
next 30 days. Without hesitation, Mrs. Somia stated she wanted
to attend her granddaughter's soccer games. She admitted
missing these games for fear that her urinary incontinence would
embarrass her and her granddaughter. When Hassan said,
“Please show me your medications and how you take them,”
Mrs. Somia revealed she frequently skipped diuretics due to
incontinence.
They then realized that her readmissions were related to
untreated incontinence. Using her new personal health record,
Mrs. Somia wrote down questions for her physician about
incontinence treatments and practiced asking the questions
through a role-playing exercise to build confidence. Finally, Mrs.
Somia and Hassan reviewed signs and symptoms of worsening
heart failure and how to respond.

Pain and depression coaching
A Cochrane Review of peer-led coaching for patients with
chronic conditions found small but statistically significant
reductions in pain, disability and depression in the
intervention group. A randomized controlled trial of
medical assistants coaching patients with depression in
primary care practices found a significant improvement in
patients with coaches compared with usual care.
