The challenges of leading healthcare organizations and what makes an excellent healthcare leader given the various stake holders and divergent interests
Much like leaders in other sectors, leaders in healthcare organizations are now being called on to re-envision the roles they play in cultivating organizations that are faced with the need to develop new perspectives and new skills. AchieveGlobal's multi-phased, multi-level study examined how leadership within the healthcare industry must change to keep up with today's challenges.

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

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

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)

Life is
dynamic
14. • Show me a grateful person and I will show a happy person
• Life-long pursuits which one ought to strive for
• Appreciation of common everyday things (flowers, nature,
fresh air), conscious differentiation between musts & wants
• Freddie Mercury: “I want to be happy, because it shows in
my work”!
16. • Internal motives would mean learning for a student, teaching for a
teacher, treating patients with empathy for a physician, serving the people
for a politician, serving the nation for a soldier etc.
• Instrumental motives would be studying for good grades for a student,
teaching for promotion for a teacher, treating patients for generating
more income for a physician, serving the people to be re-elected for a
politician, serving the nation for medals/promotions for a soldier.
• Concentrate as a doctor treat patients with empathy and skills fame and
income will come with time as a good byproduct. People who have internal
motives in their spheres of life are successful in the long run and many a
time in the short term as well!
18. • The desire to achieve and to excel a self competition or with
someone else or a combination?
• Gore Vidal famously said “When a friend succeeds, a little
part of me dies”
• “I am in competition with no one…I am simply trying to be
better than the person I was yesterday”.
• Combination: we need to concentrate on our own inner
personal competition and that may alone bring happiness,
success and contentment!
20. • The ability to get along with others will also determine the
diversity of your stakeholder network.
• Your success is dependent on others
• Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata once mentioned;
– “If I have any merit, it is getting along with individuals,
according to their ways and characteristics… At times it
involves suppressing yourself. It is painful but
necessary”.
22. • Tides and waves are part of anyone’s life
• A. Lincoln lost the Senate race to Lyman Trumbull. At that time he told a
friend, “I would never strive for office again”.
• Comments about Judge Stephen Douglas: “Twenty two years ago, Judge
Douglas and I first became acquainted; even though, we were both
ambitious; I perhaps quite as much so as he, what about today? With me,
the race of ambition has been a failure---a flat failure; with him it has
been one of splendid success”.
• Although devastated after losing the senate race to Douglas, that night he
said to himself, "It was a slip and not a fall"!
24. • Erwin Rommel famously said “To become a hero, one must
above all SURVIVE”.
• One has to develop survival skills in private and professional
life.
• A culmination of emotional & social intelligence, focus &
energy, belief & inner strength, resolute & resilience
• Ability to bounce from downturns of life. Thus be a
SURVIVOR!
26. • If the goals and objectives are very simple, they may be
achieved in a very short time and then one is wondering what
to do next.
• Although goals vary relative to the individual, aim so high
that you may not be able to achieve them in one life time. .
• You will retain your drive and gain more energy as you try to
catch on to your High goals!
28. • Two Boeing 747s (carrying a total of 1000 passengers) were
about to collide in mid air above Scotland. The collision
was averted when the alarms went off and the pilots had
a visual of the other plane, leading to immediate change of
the planes’ course of flight.
• The possibility of pilot’s distraction inside the cockpit.
• As they say, winning teams have the least distractions and
their members are focused on the common goal.
•
30. • The one common factor in all those who
outshine (regardless of the IQ, EI, SI,
background) was GRIT.
• Inner tenacity, drive, passion, the marathon
spirit of life, staying focused on ones goals and
it comes from within.
32. • STS 107:
• Smaller pieces of foam had come off one various shuttle flights, ignored
and with no consequence. Feb 1, 2003, STS 107 Space Shuttle Columbia
is on its reentry path and the 3000oc heat burns through the protective
shield since a bigger piece of foam (an amalgamation of multiple minors)
had come off during take off…… leading to the only second crash in the
shuttle history.
• Three Mile Island Meltdown:
• Multiple valves built in nuclear reactors and supposedly if one of them fails,
it may not have an untoward outcome. Thus a single valve malfunction was
ignored in the Dauphin County Nuclear Reactor……a bucket size leak led
to the partial meltdown of the Three Mile Island Nuclear accident on March
28, 1979.
• B-52 H-bomb:
• In 1960s a B-52 bomber carrying a 24 megaton H-Bomb dropped in North
Carolina but did not explode because of a single safety mechanism that
held on (there were six interlocking safety mechanisms in place, but five
were set off by the fall except that one which held on).
34. • Sallie Krawcheck (ex Head of Smith Barney and CFO Citibank)
recently wrote (on being fired) ten points to learn from the
experience;and there is one which stands out: It is this time that one
needs to look into personal and self development.
• Nilofer Merchant was an assistant to Apple executives. In the same
week she lost her job and got divorced. She came back with voracity
and now runs a successful consultancy and a speaker at TED.
• Neil Pasricha was happily married for a few years. And one day his
wife told him that she no more loves him and they broke apart.
Within a month his friend from childhood (unfortunately struggling
with a mental illness) committed suicide. He was devastated; but he
made it an opportunity to write a tremendous blog which became a
bestseller book..."The book of Awesome".!
36. • 'To Err is human"...
• Nikki Giovanni said, "Mistakes are a fact of life,
it is the response to errors that counts".
• Thus our past experiences, behavior, attitude,
culture, circumstances all play a role in our
responses to errors.
• Errors could take two routes:
– the negative outcome situation will be where the error
is missed and is exacerbated
– the positive outcome will be when the error is
mitigated and controlledstill happen!
38. • A dream leads to a vision in our mind
• Need "Analysis of the Gap” to go from
point 'A' in life to point 'B‘
•
• Preparation for curve balls
• Identification of growth opportunities
40. • Challenges become major problems and we tend to stay in our comfort
zones. Our reactions remain reactive instead of being proactive! Failure
becomes an acceptable option.
• Edison said "Many of life's failure are people who did not realize how close
they were to success".
• Marie Curie said, "Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must
have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe
that we are gifted for something and that this must be attained"
42. • What is the truth about Multitasking.
• Loukopoulos at NASA's Human Cognition Lab very
elegantly demonstrated that Multitasking is a myth and in a
13 year review of the aviation accidents (where crew were
thought to have made an error), multitasking was one of the
key avoidable factor which could have prevented the
accidents.
• Multitasking increases ones vulnerability to error.
• Thus when doing something of importance, reduce the
number of tasks performed simultaneously, recognize
whenever interrupted and develop salient cues in your
system to avoid distractions
44. • The "Self" phenomenon is innate to all of us.
• However as Alfred Adler said, "It is the
individual who is not interested in his fellow
men who has the greatest difficulties in life."
46. • On Apil 29, 2011, I was with my family on the
grounds of Cape Ke...nnedy, part of a 700,000
crowd awaiting the 2nd to last launch in shuttle
historyi.e. STS 134- Endeavour.
• President Obama was visiting as well and millions
watching on TV. The payload was around $4.5
billion and 6 crew on board.
• Just in the last moments, launch director Mike
Leinbach called it a 'NO GO" and scrubbed the
launch. Later talking to a veteran astronaut, I was
told Leinbach followed standard protocols
48. •
We work on a project, build a product, do a
household chore, it is the last few moments
that drag us the most.
• To paraphrase Steve Jobs, a job is not done &
product not complete until it is shipped
50. • Ups & downs, troughs & valleys, that is what
they call LIFE.
• Essentially it is quality of being hit and
bouncing back which helps you tread through
the downturns of life.
• As Scarlett O'Hara (Gone with the Wind) said,
"...After all, tomorrow is another day!"
52. • So it is the one who takes the initiative who may
achieve the unthinkable.
• Ted Roosevelt put it at Sarbanne College, Paris, "The
credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
.....
• Eisonhower put it, "Must take the jump....whether the
bottom contains a nice feather bed or a pile of
brickbats".
• Thus analyze the task well and then just do it!
