Modern Diabetes Education: Empowering Patients Through Social Media Iris Thiele Isip-Tan
The document discusses how patients are increasingly using social media to find health information and connect with other patients. It notes that nine in ten patients have accessed the internet for healthcare information, with three-fourths doing so in the last month. Patients use social networks to share experiences and help others dealing with the same health issues. The document also discusses how physicians can use social media to provide diabetes information and resources to patients, as patients only spend 0.1% of their time annually discussing health matters with doctors. Physicians are encouraged to recommend credible online resources to patients.
This document discusses the use of social media in healthcare. It finds that affluent younger adults use social media to influence healthcare decisions, with sites like Facebook being popular. Social media can raise health awareness, empower patients, and provide real-time information. While some view social media as reliable, physicians are discouraged from direct interaction due to privacy and ethical concerns, though sharing research is allowed. Recommendations include modifying privacy rules and appealing for social media support.
Filipinos are increasingly using Facebook to find health information from both expert and peer sources. Research shows posts with images get more engagement from users on diabetes Facebook pages. Illness information about control and consequences also predicts greater sharing and liking. Posts providing social support and positive identity receive more comments and shares. However, posts with only negative affect or just external links see less user engagement. Effective health messages on Facebook should use imagery and foster social support to reliably inform patients.

This document discusses the changing relationship between patients and physicians in Arab countries due to increased internet and e-health use. Some key points:
1) The patient-physician relationship has been altered, with informed patients now taking a more active role in their healthcare decisions.
2) Many patients feel doctors don't provide enough information or listen carefully to complaints. Patients now frequently search online for medical information.
3) E-health can both positively and negatively impact the relationship by empowering patients but also potentially spreading confusing information.
4) Bridging the gaps in online health information and improving physician-patient online interactions may help strengthen their relationship.
This document summarizes a study that analyzed FDA press releases and lay media reports (newspapers, TV, AP) about drugs that received a black box warning between 2003-2007. The study aimed to compare the content and patient-centeredness of information provided. It found that lay media reports less frequently included key details like generic drug names and advice to consult a healthcare provider, compared to FDA reports. The study concludes lay media could better reinforce patient-provider communication and participation in medical care when reporting on black box warnings.
Physician-patient interaction and the Internet: The Canadian ExperiencePat Rich
Physician-patient interactions are changing as both groups use the internet for health information. A survey found that most physicians search online for information and know patients do as well. While some physicians feel this has improved interactions by empowering informed patients, others worry about patients encountering inaccurate information. Both groups must learn to have open discussions about online research to build understanding and trust.
The document summarizes key problems in healthcare, including medication errors and access to healthcare. It discusses types of medication errors, recommendations to prevent them, and defines access to healthcare. It notes that medication errors cause over 1.5 million preventable injuries annually in the US. Lack of access results in millions of unnecessary child deaths from preventable diseases due to inability to obtain treatment. The document was researched by three authors who divided topics and collaborated to create an informative presentation.
The impact of abbreviations on patient safety jcfaheta
This document discusses the impact of abbreviations on patient safety in healthcare. It finds that 4.7% of medication errors reported between 2004-2006 were attributable to abbreviation use, with 0.3% resulting in patient harm. The majority of abbreviation errors occurred during prescribing by physicians. While the incidence of harm is low, avoiding all errors is important. The document recommends enforcing policies that prohibit abbreviation use and holding healthcare professionals accountable to improve compliance and patient safety.
The document discusses how the internet is changing healthcare by empowering consumers to research health topics, diagnose conditions, and communicate with doctors online. It notes that 81% of US adults now use the internet, with 79% looking online for health information. One-third have attempted self-diagnosis, with over 40% getting confirmation from doctors. Patients are increasingly trusting online health information over other sources. Social media is also being used to research healthcare choices and get second opinions. The rise of internet and social media use means physicians must embrace digital outreach and provide online resources to influence patients.
The document discusses the challenges of living with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It notes that over half a million deaths worldwide are caused by advanced breast cancer each year. It also discusses the lack of support and advocacy for those living with metastatic breast cancer compared to those with early-stage disease. Two surveys of patients with advanced breast cancer found that they experience high levels of fear, depression, and anxiety but also demonstrate resilience in coping with their disease. There remains a need for more research, clinical trials, and resources focused specifically on metastatic breast cancer.
Commissioned by the National Partnership, developed by research partner Professor Alan Westin, Ph.D. and conducted by Harris Interactive, the online survey of nearly 2,000 respondents, with an oversample of Hispanic adults, details consumer experiences with both electronic and paper medical record systems. Intended to serve as a baseline for future studies, the survey looks at how consumers value electronic vs. paper records, how concerned they are about data breaches, and whether they trust electronic medical records more or less than paper records to protect their privacy. It is designed to amplify consumers' voices and inform implementation of health IT.
This document describes a study that aims to understand factors contributing to healthcare utilization disparities in African American males with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) through qualitative interviews. The study will collect feedback from African American males with HCV to explore individual, social, and health system barriers to HCV care and treatment. The researchers will then develop and pilot test culturally tailored intervention messages to improve linkage to and retention in HCV care. The goal is to understand determinants of HCV healthcare utilization in order to generate effective health promotion strategies for this at-risk population.
As social networking is examined in the broader context of the health care field, and specifically the field of pharmacy, it is important to consider the perspective of patients. The patients whom we are providing care for will be at the center of this technology adoption, and understanding their behavior provides insight into the uptake of these technologies.
The document discusses a medical clinic serving communities in the Dominican Republic. It provides demographic data showing leading causes of mortality vary by age, from infectious diseases in children to non-communicable diseases in older adults. The clinic operates out of a school, conducting medical exams, pharmacy services, and home visits. Through these services and partnerships with other organizations, the clinic addresses common illnesses in the area like dengue, parasites, hypertension, and diabetes.
HCS 400 Systems and Policies Minorities Receive lower-quality healthcareMaria Jimenez
The literature review examines research showing that minority patients receive lower quality healthcare than white patients. Several studies found that issues like language barriers, lack of insurance or inadequate insurance, bias among doctors, and too few minority physicians contribute to minorities receiving fewer medical tests and inferior treatment. The report also found disparities persisted even when controlling for insurance, income, age, and medical history. While the Affordable Care Act aims to improve access to healthcare, the literature recommends increasing minority physician representation, improving interpreter access, strengthening doctor-patient relationships, and bolstering enforcement of equity laws.
This document summarizes ¡Una Vida Sana!, a multi-disciplinary service learning program that provides health screenings to Richmond, Virginia's Hispanic community. It describes the program's goals of assessing community health risks, providing a valuable learning experience for students, and increasing access to healthcare.

Personalized Health Care: The Foundation of Rational Health ReformRyan Squire
1) Personalized health care is the foundation of rational health reform and involves understanding an individual's health risks, disease progression, and response to treatment through tools like genomics, proteomics, and predictive models.
2) This paradigm shift moves away from reactive, disease-oriented care to predictive, preventative, and personalized approaches through a patient's personalized health plan.
3) Key factors in successful health reform include universal access to health education and planning, delivery system integration, and payment reform to support personalized and preventative approaches.

This study aims to determine if a nurse-delivered discharge planning bundle that includes a follow-up phone call within 1 week of discharge will decrease rapid readmissions of patients with heart failure. The researchers will implement a discharge care bundle including patient education and a follow-up phone call on a hospital unit. They will compare rates of readmission before and after the intervention to see if the bundle reduces readmissions. The goal is to improve patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs for heart failure patients.
The document discusses how the internet is changing patient-doctor interactions. It notes that about 25% of patients now research their conditions online before appointments, which can challenge doctors if patients have developed misconceptions. However, the majority of doctors also use the internet for medical information, with 92% searching online and 71% starting with search engines like Google. The rise of social media is also influencing health discussions, as many patients use online forums and communities to find peer support and share experiences with conditions.
U.S. adults living with chronic disease are significantly less likely than healthy adults to have access to the internet (62% vs. 81%). The internet access gap creates an online health information gap. However, lack of internet access, not lack of interest in the topic, is the primary reason for the difference. Once online, having a chronic disease increases the probability that someone will take advantage of social media to share what they know and learn from their peers.

Online patients: characteristics and behaviour on health social networks - fe...Ricardo Sousa
Health social networks are created to allow patients to interact online.
In this presentation i cover some of the topics related to online health social networks: patient characteristics, criteria for user segmentation, and actual behaviour. I present a series of results related to actual search behaviour, user characteristics, self-tracking and patient quantified-self status, emotional content vs data, behavioural modification status, and comparability of online patient populations and offline populations.
Presented in the context of Vitanect.com activity.
In these slides, I briefly outline how the Internet is changing healthcare by empowering the consumer and the e-patient. We look at data and examples from the USA and Europe, and consider the impact of ratings websites, online health records, and the way in which doctors are responding to the e-patient.
The Internet has been rapidly changing the consumer’s view of medicine. As the use of the Internet for health information becomes more widespread, risk to the overall consumer quality of care increases. There is social concern about the yet-undetermined effects the Internet has had and will continue to have on consumer behaviors and health outcomes. This study examines such behaviors and makes recommendations for the enrichment of future care.
Consumer facing digital health technologies such as apps, wearables, and websites have grown rapidly in popularity. However, obesity and diabetes rates continue to rise in the US. While many users say technologies help them track health and ask doctors new questions, the overall health of populations has not improved proportionately. Barriers to the success of these technologies include a lack of standards, concerns over privacy of personal health data, and low adoption rates by healthcare providers. Health literacy may be needed to help users apply insights from technologies effectively and drive meaningful behavior changes for better health outcomes.
The Great American Search for Healthcare InformationWeber Shandwick
Weber Shandwick, in partnership with KRC Research, released The Great American Search for Healthcare Information, a survey of 1,700 American adults. The research focuses on Healthcare Information Seekers, or those who look for health-related information at least once a year.
The document discusses health communication through computer-mediated communication (CMC). It outlines how CMC has allowed for health information seeking and emergency assistance online. While online health information has benefits, concerns exist around monitoring information quality and influencing physician decisions. Guidelines are presented for users to evaluate online health sources and information.
The document summarizes PatientsLikeMe, a website that allows patients to track their health indicators, share their experiences, and connect with others who have similar conditions. It discusses how social media and mobile technologies have organized health information sharing and given individual stories collective wisdom. Patients are able to engage on the site by creating health profiles, finding support from others, learning from community reports, and bringing their improved understanding to doctor appointments to facilitate treatment conversations. The site aims to transform individual experiences into aggregated data and put experiences into clinical context to advance medical knowledge.
Improving health literacy: challenges for health professionalsAnne Johnson
- The document discusses health literacy and challenges for improving health literacy for health professionals and patients. It addresses the importance of clear communication, cultural sensitivity, and engaging patients in making informed health decisions.
- Low health literacy is associated with poorer health outcomes and less engagement in care. Strategies discussed to address this include using plain language, teaching back techniques, and addressing socioeconomic and cultural barriers to health information.
- Collaboration between health professionals and consumers is key to developing effective health resources and improving communication practices.
Low Functional health literacy is a problem affecting 90 million residents of the United States. Among the 90 million, 36% are adults who have “below basic” health literacy skills. Assessing health literacy is important in improving health behaviors, health outcomes, and perceived communication barriers related to health. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 brought about changes that demand a more coordinated approach to manage health care services. This research focused on the efforts being made to promote health literacy at Medicaid health homes such as Greater Buffalo United Accountable Healthcare Network (GBUAHN). This research consisted of observation of Patient Health Navigator interactions with patients in order to identify best practices of health literacy initiatives within GBUAHN. Results suggest best practices include promoting and establishing relationship to effectively enhance patients understanding of all their healthcare needs. This study suggests that GBUAHN should continue making use of recommendations related health literacy promotion while exploring areas of improvement as noted on scorecard. Patient Health Navigators are engaging patient in manner that will establish adherence within patients.
This document discusses several common myths and misconceptions related to health in the Philippines. It debunks 10 myths, showing that there is no scientific or medical evidence to support claims such as: sleeping with wet hair causes blindness; abdominal massages can increase chances of pregnancy; eating geckos can cure asthma; frog urine causes warts; or that people with certain physical traits can help remove fish bones stuck in someone's throat. The document aims to show that while folk beliefs are still widely held, modern medicine finds no truth to these myths.

The goal is to deliver more personalized healthcare using predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory approaches.
Conversations that matter: Social networking for students with disabilitiesRyan Squire
This document discusses the challenges faced by students with disabilities in social networking and the potential benefits of social media for this group. It notes that students with disabilities have traditionally faced isolation, poor social networks, and physical limitations that have hindered social interaction. However, research has shown that students with disabilities can be equally dependable and productive members of social networks as others when given the opportunity. The document advocates for inclusive social media that seeks to educate and allows equal participation for all.
This document discusses ethics and social media. It defines ethics as principles of right and wrong that govern conduct. It also defines social media as transforming people from passive content consumers to active publishers through many-to-many conversations. Some ethical concerns with social media include privacy, security, truth/honesty, and inclusive access. Social networks are public spaces where relationships drive collaboration to achieve shared goals, so ethical behavior is important. Laws like HIPAA regulate what personal health information can be shared online. While rules are legal, culture emphasizes doing what is ethically right for patients. Relationship boundaries may blur on social media, so transparency is key.
This document discusses how hospitals can use social media. It outlines several ways social media can benefit hospitals, including for customer service, innovation, patient/employee education, public relations, crisis communications, recruitment, and thought leadership. It emphasizes the importance of listening to customers on social media and responding to their needs and concerns. It also discusses the need for hospitals to have social media policies to guide appropriate employee use of social media both personally and professionally.
This document discusses using social media to improve healthcare and build personalized care. It notes that while organizations can control social media use on company time and equipment, they have limited influence beyond that. The document advocates using social media for ongoing conversations to educate and network in order to influence perceptions and build relationships with patients. It discusses developing social media policies for personal and institutional use. The goal is to listen to patients, respond to their needs, and use social media to improve lives through personalized healthcare.
This document discusses using social media for advocacy goals in healthcare. It recommends identifying targeted audiences and communicating valuable messages through video, blogs, and Twitter to educate people on issues like health care reform and increase funding. Metrics should track engagement on platforms. Elected officials can be involved by highlighting their work.

Direct To Consumer Genomics and the Future of HealthcareRyan Squire
Richard Sharp, Ph.D., Director of Bioethics Research at the Cleveland Clinic presents on direct-to-consumer genomics and the future of health care.
Dr. Sharp received his training in philosophy and medical ethics at Michigan State University.
Prior to joining the Cleveland Clinic in 2007, Dr. Sharp taught bioethics at Baylor College of Medicine and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where he directed the Program in Environmental Health Policy and Ethics.
His research examines the promotion of informed patient decision-making in clinical research, particularly research that involves genetic analyses.
Pharmacogenomics in Clinical Medicine: What Is FDA Doing to Facilitate the M...Ryan Squire
Larry Lesko, director of the Office of Clinical Pharmacology at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research with the Federal Drug Administration, begins his talk by making the FDA’s commitment to personalized medicine as a public health agency. He touched on the future focus of improving drug safety and its role in future healthcare policy, citing the FDA Amendments Act of 2007.
Lesko explained that the dual mission at hand is to foster innovation and promote new initiatives under a critical path while developing and clearly articulating the standards for drugs and diagnostics. The organization takes a lifecycle approach to evidence to inform and support decisions—this goes for previous drugs and new drug development.
Moving forward, what else needs to be done? Lesko explained that ways to consensus on evidence are needed to support new drug approvals and relabeling of older drugs. He also believes that the FDA needs to develop more unambiguous drug product labels to enable actionable medical decisions and improve communication between CDER and CDRH on co-development and companion diagnostics.
Tamoxifen And CYP2D6: Using Pharmacogenetics to discover a new drugRyan Squire
Dr. Matthew Goetz, assistant professor of oncology and pharmacology at the Mayo Clinic, shared his pharmacogenomic research findings related to risks and occurrence of breast cancer. He explained that in order to truly personalize medicine, you must account for all possible theories and variables. Goetz continued to say that although many believe pharmacology to be boring, it is a key component of the future model of care. Some may say, so this drug doesn’t work–why not just try another drug? It’s much more complicated than that.
Dr. Goetz touched on the variety of cases in his study in breast cancer patients, some with strange and perplexing results. When giving the same drug to multiple patients, each yielded a variety of different results. Some patients had successful reduction in tumor size, while others resulted in no change and some even experienced tumor growth as a result of the drug. Personalized health care is the answer to this, for lack of a better term, ’shot-in-the-dark’ type of therapy. If physicians can understand each patient’s biology and genetic makeup individually, they can better apply treatments and medications. This would therefore reduce health care costs and enable patients to receive much more efficient treatments.
Edwina Rogers, executive director of Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative, began her presentation by highlighting the movement to advance medical homes.
With the U.S. being the number one in the world for the cost of healthcare and ranked number 37 in the quality category, something needs to change. Rogers discussed the broad stakeholder support and participation for the movement, as well as the incredible volunteer involvement. The four ‘centers’ include: the Center to Promote Public-Payer Implementation, the Center for Multi-Stakeholder Demonstration, the Center for eHealth Information Adoption and Exchange and the Center for Health Benefit Redesign and Implementation. Medical Homes will provide superb access to care, patient engagament in care, clinical information systems, care coordination, team care, patient feedback and publically available information.
Edwards explained that the Obama administration believes the medical homes concept is the best way to approach healthcare reform. The U.S. House of Representatives has showed great support for the movement and is helping develop and allocate funds for a five-year pilot program. She expressed her enthusiasm for the movement and her prediction that the medical home model is certainly the future of health care.

Transforming Medicine Through Personalized Health Care at Ohio State Universi...Ryan Squire
The document describes Ohio State University Medical Center's vision to transform medicine through personalized health care. Their goal is to move from today's reactive, disease-based system to a proactive, wellness-based system using systems biology tools. They plan to create predictive, personalized, precise and preventive (P4) medicine through discovery platforms using omics data, modeling, and imaging. These platforms will be translated through diagnostics, devices, and targeted therapeutics. Applications include pilot programs, a personalized medicine collaborative, and accountable care organizations. The overall vision is to improve quality and lower costs through disruptive innovation and personalized strategic health plans.
This document discusses the value of personalized medicine and some key challenges in measuring and demonstrating its value. It provides two case studies of HER2 testing for breast cancer treatment with Herceptin and gene expression profiling tests for breast cancer recurrence risk. While these show promise for personalized medicine, challenges remain around ensuring access, accuracy of tests, linking tests to treatment and outcomes, and demonstrating cost-effectiveness. Overall, measuring the value of personalized medicine requires consideration of multiple stakeholder perspectives and building an evidence base around clinical utility, economic impacts, and real-world implementation.
A presentation built by Clay Marsh, MD. executive director of the OSU Center for Personalized Medicine, designed to explain some of the scientific and social angles that are a part of personalized health care.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

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.
1. Using Social Media toPersonalize Health Care Ryan Squire http://twitter.com/OSUsquire
2. The Problem Medicine has been and still is REACTIVE in nature. Care is provided only after signs of illness manifest. That reactive care only addresses the end effects of disease manifestation, not the root causes of disease. Reactive care has created an ecosystem of: uncontrollably rising costs, declining levels of quality, and decreasing consumer satisfaction.

19. Physician Participation Here’s a list of evidence-based questions every patient should ask physicians: How would you describe your communication style? How do you inform patients of lab test results? What percent of your adult patients have had their recommended preventive screenings? Will you take the time to understand and respect my beliefs and opinions about my health and communication preferences? What percent of your patients are non-compliant with respect to taking their medications or otherwise following treatment recommendations? Do you encourage patients to ask you about health information they have found on the Internet? For patients needing additional information, do you have a list of recommend websites you can give me? Will I get a written post visit report summarizing what occurred at each office visit, including medication and self care instructions? -reduced from 12 questions Empowered Patients Should Ask Source: Original work of the author – Steve Wilkins MPH from The Mind Gap
