1. The document discusses strategies for improving health literacy and activation in communities. It focuses on empowering individuals to better manage their own health and recovery.
2. A major barrier is that people often feel passive and overwhelmed by their health, lacking understanding of how to manage it. The strategies aim to build knowledge, skills, and confidence.
3. Activating recovery requires trust between community organizations and those they serve. When people trust the resources available, success in managing health and recovery is more likely.

Improving Sustainability of BC's Home and Community Care SystemBCCPA
In the face of unprecedented growth in the seniors population, health systems across Canada are challenged to ensure sustainability while addressing consumer expectations and respecting the wishes of individuals to remain independent as long as possible. Waitlists for access to continuing care services, and the high numbers of seniors that remain in hospital while no longer requiring acute care, demonstrate potential mismatches between supply and demand. As the population of seniors continues to grow, this disparity will continue to increase, unless practices within health systems change. Island Health will share its experiences supporting seniors to live independently.

Allina Health used actionable data to identify potential areas of bias, then applied the right interventions to decrease implicit biases. For example, data revealed that the African American populations receiving care at Allina Health were not enrolling in hospice programs when they were eligible because the hospitalists weren’t referring African Americans at the same rate as other populations.
Vivian Anugwom, Health Equity Manager at Allina Health, shares how she led a team to implement new measures, including implicit bias trainings, to help address and overcome these biases to ensure health equity for all.
During this webinar, Vivian will help attendees:
- Understand how Allina Health uses data to identify disparities.
- Define bias and its impact on health disparities.

8. Recovery Oriented Services in Mental Health and Addiction Management.pdfKingsleyOkonoda
Recovery from mental illness involves much more than recovery from the illness itself. People with mental illness(es) may have to recover from the stigma that they incorporated into their very being; from the iatrogenic effects of treatment settings; from the lack of recent opportunities for self-determination; from the negative side effects of unemployment; and crushed dreams.
As new payment models emerge that emphasize value over volume, providers are being compelled to look more closely at how to motivate patients—especially those with multiple chronic conditions—to actively manage their care, make better decisions and change behaviors. This editorial webinar will explore the relationships between engagement and improved health outcomes, greater patient satisfaction and better resource utilization. Our panel of experts will share proven strategies for building patients' confidence, disseminating self-management tools and making the best use of your care team.

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

Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Mor...The Lifesciences Magazine
Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. These clots can impede blood flow, leading to severe complications.
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

5. ◻ Improve decision-making and choices.
◻ Improve self-esteem and self-confidence.
◻ Helps people gather information about

◻ Create and initiate a plan.
◻ Develop skills to moves towards a goal.
◻ Help keep people out of crisis.
◻ Cost effective.
Why is health activation important
in the community?
6. ◻ Recovery is difficult.
◻ Feeling overwhelmed with the smallest task.
◻ Lack of understanding of the process.
◻ Difficulty making a choice.
◻ Lack of skills.
◻ Experience with repeated failure.
◻ They would rather just not think about their health.

9. ◻ Obstacle: We live in an underdeveloped
healthcare system, where needs are
immediate, and the community resources are
ill-equipped to respond at top speed.
◻ The Hassle: It takes executive functioning to
access services and navigate both the system
and the life changes that come with recovery.
◻ There’s not one place to get every single thing
that you need, but that hassle is important for
building skills necessary for better health.
The Benefit of the Hassle
10.
11. 1. People tend to be passive and overwhelmed by
the thought of managing their own health. They
do not understand their role, or the process.
2. People have a lack of knowledge and skill of how
to manage their own health.
3. People appear to be taking action, but lack
confidence and self-esteem to truly participate
in their own health care management.
4. People have incorporated and adapted different
behaviors to support their recovery needs. They
still need assistance maintaining their health.
