NVEH is the main association for e-Health and telemedicine in the Netherlands. Its vision is for eHealth to empower both patients and caregivers by supporting health through innovative use of ICT. While initiatives and awareness of telehealth's needs have grown in the Netherlands, traditional healthcare systems remain supply-oriented and divided between prevention, cure, care and wellness. For optimal results, eHealth must seamlessly connect the worlds of healthcare providers and health consumers.

HSE Chief Information Officer presents on eHealth in Ireland, and how that will help people with rare diseases.
Rare disease day feb 29th 2016 - philip watt
Rare Disease Day was held on February 29th 2016. The document discusses the impact of funding cuts to Ireland's health system on rare diseases. It notes there are now 12,000 fewer health staff and β¬4 billion cut from the health budget since 2008. This has led to frontline staff shortages, overworked remaining staff, increased wait times, and reluctance to fund new therapies. It calls for more funding and staffing of clinical genetic services, faster approval of new drugs to treat rare diseases, and better implementation of Ireland's National Rare Disease Plan to improve care and support for those with rare conditions.
Rakoloti - Key issues facing the health sector in the next five years (2007)
1) Key strategic challenges facing South Africa's health sector include fragmentation of the system between public and private providers, growing maldistribution of health resources between provinces and socioeconomic groups, and inadequate pooling of financial resources.
2) Reforms are aimed at universalizing access to basic benefits for all citizens, establishing income-based cross subsidies between low- and high-risk groups, and mandatory participation in contributory pensions.
3) Other policy priorities include strengthening regulation of the medical schemes industry, implementing health technology assessments, pursuing public-private partnerships for infrastructure development, and creating frameworks for monitoring progress on Millennium Development Goals.

AB assistive-technology-strategy-2012-2017
The joint commissioning strategy aims to promote the use of assistive technology to support personalised outcomes over 2012-2017. Based on consultation with practitioners, carers, and those receiving support, the strategy identified that while assistive technology can help independence and quality of life, understanding and access to assistive technology needs improving. The strategy prioritizes enhancing quality of life through greater awareness and choice of assistive technology options, and delaying the need for care through identifying and sharing information on new assistive technology developments. Progress will be monitored based on improved knowledge of assistive technology and trends in referrals, surveys, and practitioners being informed of new developments.

The document discusses commissioning cycles and processes. It defines commissioning as assessing local needs, designing appropriate services, and achieving outcomes through public, private, or nonprofit providers. Commissioning also involves specifying, securing, and monitoring strategic services to meet people's needs. The document outlines the commissioning framework and roles of clinical commissioning groups, public health, and NHS England in the United Kingdom's health system. It emphasizes the need to transform commissioning to address rising costs, demand, and public expectations with reduced budgets. The commissioning cycle aims to improve health, quality of life, recovery from illness, patient experience and safety, and reduce health inequalities.Β
Creating a Wired Health System
This document provides an overview of the need for a national eHealth strategy in Australia. It notes that the current healthcare system is fragmented and unable to cope with future challenges. A national eHealth system could help create a more integrated system by allowing electronic sharing of health information between clinicians and patients. However, the system requires significant investment in technologies and changes to privacy laws and standards. The document calls for a long-term, coordinated national approach to implement eHealth over 10 years.

Broadband Enabled Rural Health Care
Broadband can help address challenges in rural healthcare by enabling new services. It can help remove isolation for rural health providers through telehealth services like peer review, remote education and guidance. For remote patients, broadband allows electronic consultations, access to specialists through referrals, and diagnostic services. Opportunities exist to use broadband to support integrated family health centers as technology hubs and enable shared services and high-definition video conferencing and imaging. This helps bring healthcare into remote communities.

The document discusses opportunities in technology-enabled care in Scotland. It defines telecare and telehealth, and outlines Scotland's progress in these areas since 2006. Key developments include establishing national telehealth programs, expanding telecare services, and integrating care pathways. The document proposes a phased approach to mainstreaming telehealthcare by 2013-2015 through increased integration, innovation, and expansion. It identifies priorities over 2010-2012 such as rolling out national programs and an education strategy. Challenges around cultural issues, service integration, and data integration are also noted. The document seeks views on how industry can support telehealthcare expansion in Scotland.
Geoff Wedgwood Beyond 2010
The document discusses the challenges facing healthcare in the UK, particularly obesity which costs the NHS Β£4.2 billion annually. It proposes developing a digital healthcare ecosystem in the West Midlands to help address these challenges in a more sustainable way. This ecosystem would provide local services through an open platform to improve health outcomes for the region's 5.5 million citizens and support the 147,000 staff delivering care. The ecosystem is based on co-creation, collaboration, and open APIs to reflect local priorities in a way that complements national services. Benefits will include supporting quality, innovation, productivity and prevention to help meet financial and demand challenges.

The document discusses support for informal care in Finland. It provides that municipalities and informal carers share responsibility for support under statutory social services. Support can include necessary services to assist the care recipient and caregiver, as well as care allowances and leave for the caregiver. Research examined distinguishing characteristics of older persons applying for support for informal care compared to those applying for other services.
Connected health data meets the people: Diversity, Standards, and Trust
Using health data in a connected world requires new competencies, a personal digital health compass calibrated to individual personalities and needs. Patients and clinicians able to collect and manage data, data-operational informatics professionals able to analyze data, and cutting-edge researchers, innovators, and educators able to apply knowledge, will take learning health systems to the next level.
In this EFMI-HL7 event using innovative technology and surprises to engage the audience, we will discuss strategies for empowering and activating people to engage, share and use their health data. We will point to diversity, trust and open standards like HL7 FHIR to open up access and capacities to manage data safely for patients, care-givers, and the health system.

The document discusses health and social care reform in Finland and the city of Oulu's approach. It notes that a small percentage of the population accounts for most health care spending. It outlines national reforms in Finland that will consolidate the health system into five regions. It also describes Oulu's efforts to create an "OuluHealth ecosystem" and "Smart Service Model" centered around citizens to improve care through greater interoperability, standardization, and use of eHealth technologies.
Lyka.....electronic health record systems
Federal initiatives in the U.S. are working to accelerate adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) in both public and private sectors. The executive order in 2004 called for most Americans to have EHRs within 10 years. Both sectors have made progress over the past decade, but barriers remain. Federal agencies are taking approaches like supporting standards development, funding demonstration projects, and establishing the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to coordinate efforts across the health system and drive adoption.

This document summarizes a presentation on integrated care given at the National Healthcare Conference in 2015. It discusses different types of integrated care including horizontal, vertical, and within sectors. Integrated care aims to provide coordinated services across providers and settings to support patients. Barriers to integrated care include fragmentation, distrust, and lack of coordination between strategy and operations. National clinical programs in Ireland have led to improved outcomes for conditions like heart attacks, surgery, and stroke through more integrated models of care. However, challenges remain around resources, hierarchies, and fully implementing integrated approaches across the healthcare system.Β

1) Ireland has historically under-invested in healthcare IT systems compared to the EU average, spending 0.85% versus 2-3%, and faces challenges in reforming its universal healthcare system.
2) Ireland published its National eHealth Strategy in December 2013 which aims to improve population wellbeing, healthcare efficiencies, and economic opportunity through technology-enabled solutions in a patient-centric manner.
3) The strategy recommends establishing "eHealth Ireland" as a dedicated delivery entity to implement technical eHealth programs, build an eHealth innovation ecosystem, empower patients, and maximize economic benefits through jobs creation and industry opportunities.
Anti-Austerity Alliance meeting, 11 January 2014
Dr. Conor McCabe spoke at an anti-austerity meeting about who benefits from austerity. He discussed how financialization has increased the importance of financial markets and institutions in the economy. Since the 1970s, there has been a monetarist revolution, a war on labor in the 1980s, and credit being used as a wage substitute in the 1990s and 2000s. Currently, there is open conflict over monetary policy again. Kathleen Lynch then discussed how equality bodies in Ireland have faced budget cuts or been closed, including the Combat Poverty Agency, Equality Authority, and supports for travelers, women's refuges, and people with disabilities. She said those who benefit from austerity are those involved
HealthCare Reform - 10 Things You Should Know
The document discusses key aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), including what it is, some of its key provisions, challenges that have been faced in its implementation, progress that has been made, and the timeline for some of its initiatives. As an example of a new care model introduced by the legislation, it describes Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), which are intended to drive more coordinated care through incentives provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Health and Social Care Devolution
This document provides an overview of Manchester City Council's strategic goals to transform health and social care in Greater Manchester (GM) through 2025. It outlines a framework with 5 key areas: 1) Radically upgrading population health, 2) Transforming care in localities, 3) Standardizing acute hospital care, 4) Standardizing back office services, and 5) Enablers to support better care. It also discusses GM structures and performance, city deals, locality transformation funding, Lord Carter reviews, and enabling governance. The overall aim is to move GM from a cost center to a net contributor through a productive economy and efficient public services.
PPP_onepager_Zheng
This document discusses public-private partnerships (PPPs) in healthcare in three countries - Nigeria, Kenya, and Thailand. A PPP in healthcare involves a partnership between a government and private companies to jointly fund and operate healthcare services. The document notes that PPPs have advantages like improved access to care, increased funding and technologies, and higher efficiency. For a PPP to succeed, both partners must share decision-making, build trust, and closely monitor projects. It then provides specific examples of PPP initiatives in each country's healthcare system and funding levels from different sources.

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. Β

CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
