$8.3 billion lost by healthcare from poor communication, BloedauHIMSS
Clinicians waste on average 46 minutes per day waiting for patient information, costing the healthcare industry $5.1 billion annually in lost productivity. Additionally, hospitals waste $3.2 billion on older communication systems during the patient discharge process, where about a third of the average 102 minute discharge time is spent waiting for information. Overall, poor communication in healthcare costs the US hospital system an estimated $8.3 billion per year in lost productivity and increased patient discharge times. While technologies like telehealth and mobile health have shown benefits, successful business models are still needed to support broader data sharing beyond grants and enable better information access across specialist, ancillary and care providers in a sustainable way.

This document discusses the benefits of automating clinical documentation through mobile solutions. It notes that current clinical documentation processes are inefficient and expensive. An automated, mobile system could improve patient safety, clinician and patient satisfaction, and clinical decision making by providing real-time access to patient data. The system should integrate tools that are directly linked to documentation to streamline clinician workflows. Mobility is important to support the fluid nature of healthcare delivery by allowing clinicians to perform tasks anywhere without worrying about connections. An integrated mobile solution called CareMore+ is presented as a framework that can provide access to all patient data through a single interface on various devices.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

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

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

1) Workforce Multipliers
There is an enormous need to make our healthcare system more efficient from a cost and
workflow management standpoint. Some of these inefficiencies include: fragmented
continuum of care, cost transparency, and interdisciplinary communication.
“Many of the trends include the marriage of social, mobile, analytics and cloud
technologies together to improve the activation, delivery and coordination of care. All are
in response to leaner times for providers, payers, and employers and a call for greater
visibility of the value healthcare delivers by the patient. This is forcing a shift to leaner
healthcare innovation and competitive models that resemble public health rather that fee
for service. It is also redefining the healthcare job market that has always used technology
to do more with the same number of people – this is a permanent “trend” that all other
trends must subscribe to.”

2) Patient-Centered Care
Policy and technology are more focused on empowering the patient to participate in their
care. The ACA has made patient satisfaction a financial consequence for acute care
facilities.
“One of my favorite trends in healthcare is the shift towards more patient-centered care
technology. We are empowering patients throughout the care continuum in ways that not
only improve the overall quality of their care, but their satisfaction in receiving it.”

3) The Educated Healthcare Consumer
There are a number of start-ups in the healthcare industry focused on empowering the
healthcare consumer with the “tools” needed to make better decisions about their care.
Examples of these types of “tools” include; finding hospitals with the lowest readmission
rates for a particular disease, comparing the costs of medical services between different
hospitals, and hospital branded mobile applications for educating patients through their
mobile device.
“Patient power tools! You can just sense this growing appetite amongst healthcare
consumers for digital resources and education. I really do believe that better
understanding and decision making from patients and caregivers is the key to improving
our healthcare system for the long term.”
Michael Walsh, Founder & CEO at Cariloop https://www.cariloop.com/
4) Relationship Marketing is Back
Changes in policy, have altered the way healthcare organizations and clinics of all sizes
market their services. The healthcare consumer now has more choices than ever. They
have been empowered with more tools to help them make those choices, particularly
when it comes to choosing a healthcare provider. Customer satisfaction and building
relationships have never been more important.
“In 2014, healthcare providers and institutions will be Taking It To The Streets. The pivotal
moment of getting out into the community for purposes of giving back as well as the best
way to grow your business has arrived. Some might say whats old is new again. This
timeless process of Relationship Marketing doesn’t care what the insurance guidelines
are, what the economic environment is, whether you are in a large city or small town or
any other variable. This is how we built businesses before we thought we could do it in an
email or on Facebook, and this is what will take those savvy enough to understand,
successfully into the next decade.”

5) Physical Therapy Specialists and Cash-Based Practice
Reimbursement for physical therapy services is dwindling, forcing therapists to see more
patients in less time. This leads to poor quality of care for the patient and less satisfaction
for the therapist. Many therapists are tired of this and are starting niche practices that
focus on quality care and cash payments for their services.
“The next trend I see as a physical therapist is that there are more physical therapy clinics
which are adding cash based services and clinics that are moving towards being
out-of-network providers. Many clinics are finding that their in-network contracts are
unsustainable or that they are unable to provide high value services, or even just the
treatment that the patient needs, within the confines of the decreasing reimbursement of
the in-network contract. Many physical therapist are dissatisfied with the model of
treating 3 or 4 patients an hour. This environment is driving them to become
entrepreneurs and start small out-of-network cash based physical therapy clinics where
they provide quality one-on-one physical therapy services to patients in a manner in which
they feel is best, not a 3rd party who is primarily interested in the bottom line.”

6) Home and Professional Diagnostics Will Get
Connected in Simpler More Meaningful Ways
Making sense of all the data that streams out of our diagnostic devices and wearables is
a major theme in 2014. What good is that data if patients and medical providers don’t use
it to create an effective intervention. Simplifying the process and having a central device
to aggregate all the data is where things are going.
“Home and professional diagnostics will get connected. There are many solutions for
home diagnostics providing reliable data- blood pressure monitors, scales, glucose meters,
thermometers.

But the data is useful only if somebody can act upon it, for example advise a treatment or
prescribe medicines. Home diagnostics will become really important when the results will
be available to the doctor to review, compare with outpatient and inpatient diagnostics
and act upon it. This way the patient may avoid initial doctor's visit and may be directly
appointed to the secondary care. Costs due to wrong referrals and differential diagnostic
would be saved. Professional diagnostics will get simplified. Too many patients are
referred to secondary healthcare due to lack of an objective, accurate and simple
diagnostic tools at primary healthcare. For example, if patient has pain in the leg, he is
appointed to visit three different specialists. By simplifying diagnostic procedures,
manufacturers will bring reliable diagnostics from secondary to primary healthcare and
thus shorten the time to discover cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory diseases and
cancer.”

7) Niche Practices will Explode
The need to niche down is here. Whether you are a doctor, physical therapist, massage
therapist, or chiropractor, you need a niche. With the emergence of ACOs, larger health
organizations are grouping together. They will be like mini-HMOs that will be referring
within their network. This can leave the private practice owner with less of the traditional
referrals from these sources, and a further need to market their niche services directly to
the public.
“Being an optimist can get tiring. But 2014 is going to be a good year for healthcare
practitioners. Doubt me? I predict the average revenue for private practices with systems
and marketing in place to increase to 30% profits at years end. The large hospital based
conglomerates will soon realize that being the provider that has an answer for everything
will only hurt them. Niche practices will explode in 2014 in all aspects of healthcare,
leading to amazing networking. A new age of healthcare is dawning.”
