Seven steps to reduce the risk of infectious disease in hospitalsBassam Gomaa
Healthcare organizations face growing challenges related to infectious disease control. While frequent hand washing and the use of personal protective equipment are the leading weapons against infectious disease spread and hospital-acquired infections, the built environment, including the HVAC systems, also plays an important role. Strides in the development of smart building operation management platforms that easily and cost-effectively integrate with a facility’s existing systems can give healthcare providers a powerful tool with which to enhance the effectiveness of their overall infection control programs.
January 2024. Healthcare Waste (HCW), also called Medical Waste, refers to the hazardous and non-hazardous waste generated from healthcare facilities, including used needles, blood, body parts, chemicals, diagnostic samples, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals.
HCW sources include hospitals, laboratories, blood banks, dental clinics, ambulance centers, nursing homes, autopsy centers, veterinary clinics, and medical colleges.
Hazardous HCW types include infectious, pathological, pharmaceutical, genotoxic, and radioactive.
Non-hazardous HCW types include paper, plastic packaging, food (organic), aerosols, electronics, and glass.
Improper handling and disposal of HCW has negative impacts on the environment, human health, and on the economy: Incineration of waste produces carbon and GHG emissions, releases harmful pollutants, and can contaminate groundwater. Health risks include transmission of infectious diseases, radiation burns, immune and endocrine system impairment. Economically, lack of recycling leads to increased waste volume and higher landfill costs, while lost productivity is due to health problems associated with exposure to contaminants. Healthcare facilities failing to comply face large fines.
Healthcare Waste Management (HCWM) is defined as the sustainable disposal of HCW using environmentally safe and cost-effective technologies while minimizing health risks associated with waste handling.
A sustainable HCW management strategy aims to avoid creating HCW from the beginning, or minimizing it to a large degree by (1) Using recyclable materials and biodegradable plastics (2) Reusing items such as glass, ceramic cups, and thermometers (3) Reducing packaging and medication waste and (4) Using food waste for compost and biofuel production.
Sustainable HCW management stages are (1) Collection by healthcare facility staff (2) Segregation of waste into regular non-hazardous waste, which will be sent to conventional municipal treatment facilities, and HCW. (3) Transportation of HCW from the healthcare facility to HCW treatment facility (4) Treatment using appropriate methods to achieve desired disinfection and (5) Disposal of treated waste in a HCW designated landfill.
Policy wise, in 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) launched a global initiative to ensure adequate water, sanitation and hygiene services in healthcare facilities, including addressing proper HCW treatment. Successful and sustainable global HCW management system can significantly contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3, 6, 8 ,12, and 13.
In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, sources, types, effects, sustainable HCW management, UN policy, and global statistics of healthcare waste. For more slideshows on environmental sustainability, please visit s2adesign.com

PneumoniaCheck, the link between the diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia wit...Steve Koontz
This document discusses the need for an improved method of diagnosing pneumonia. Current methods often cannot identify the specific pathogen causing pneumonia, resulting in overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics and increased antibiotic resistance. It introduces PneumoniaCheck, a new device that uses fluid mechanics to separate upper airway particles from lower airway particles collected from a patient's cough, allowing identification of the pathogen. This more targeted approach can reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and complications by precisely diagnosing the type of pneumonia.
This document provides an overview of medical waste management. It defines different types of medical waste and outlines the key components of an infectious waste management plan, including designation of infectious waste, segregation, packaging, storage, treatment, disposal, and staff training. The objectives are to understand medical waste regulations and how to properly manage infectious waste.
The document discusses decontamination of medical devices in the NHS. It outlines the importance of effective decontamination to reduce healthcare associated infections and minimize risks of disease transmission. It also examines current guidelines and challenges related to decontamination processes. Regulatory bodies are working to improve standards and ensure uniformity in decontamination practices across the NHS.

The document describes a business model canvas for a startup called Savita Tech that utilizes ultraviolet-C (UVC) LED technology to combat hospital-acquired infections. Their value propositions are reducing infections and saving lives and costs for hospitals. Their key customers are hospitals, medical cleaning companies, and infection control professionals. They plan to generate revenue from physical product sales, upgrades, and service contracts. Key activities involve obtaining regulatory approvals, conducting clinical trials, and manufacturing UVC LED products.
Hospital-acquired infections are a major cause of illness and death, accounting for over 70,000 deaths annually in the US. Proper sanitation and infection control practices can significantly reduce infection rates. A landmark study found that hospitals with dedicated infection control programs saw a 31-40% reduction in infection rates, compared to 14-26% increases in hospitals without such programs. The major types of healthcare-associated infections are bloodstream, pneumonia, urinary tract, and surgical site infections. Adopting green cleaning practices that use environmentally-friendly chemicals and disposal methods can help reduce the environmental impact of healthcare facilities while still maintaining infection control.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Digital Health in India_Health Informatics Trained Manpower _DrDevTaneja_15.0...DrDevTaneja1
Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.
2. THE PROBLEM
• Healthcare-associated Infections (HAIs) are infections acquired by
patients, staff and visitors in healthcare facilities that result from
contact with infected individuals, contaminated air, and / or surfaces.
• Every day 1 out of 20 hospital patients acquire one of these
infections. Schools, long-term care facilities, and outpatient
treatment facilities like cancer centers are particularly susceptible.
And at 99,000 deaths per year, HAIs are the 4th leading cause of
death in the U.S. - higher than breast cancer, AIDS and auto
accidents combined.
• With direct medical costs averaging $28,000 to $36,000 to treat just
one HAI, the economic burden to the U.S. may be as high as $45
billion annually.
3. THE SOLUTION
• American Green Technology® introduces the patented Health Risk
Management System (HRMS) for the healthcare industry. The HRMS is a
UVC lighting system that is clinically proven to eliminate 99.7% of pathogens
that can cause Healthcare-associated Infections (HAIs). The HRMS works
unobtrusively, 24/7/365, exchanging and disinfecting the air, right at the
source of infection.
• The HRMS is designed to use differential pressure, filtration, purification and
dilution to simultaneously and unobtrusively neutralize pathogens (including
bacteria, viruses and fungi) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at room level.
• Deployment of this effective system is far more economical when compared
to stand-alone surface disinfection systems. Employing the CDC’s
recommended hierarchy of defense, the HRMS is designed to eliminate
pathogens at the source, enhance patient outcomes and significantly reduce
administrative, clinical and operational costs.
• Simply put, the HRMS saves money, but more importantly, can be a valuable
tool in improving the outcome of your facility.
5. CLINICAL RESULTS
• The superior performance of the Arcalux® Health Risk
Management System will enable “high levels of air
disinfection to be achieved as well as a consequent
reduction in the risk of airborne nosocomial infection in
any healthcare environment.” - Dr. Wladyslaw Kowalski
• Considered one of the world’s foremost experts on
hospital airborne infection control, Dr. Wladyslaw
Kowalski conducted analysis of the Arcalux® HRMS
against 44 known pathogens and concluded his
findings in a well-documented 22 page report.
6. CLINICAL RESULTS PT: 2
• Aerobiology Laboratory Associates, Inc. is a world-
renowned and accredited facility whose combined
