The document proposes establishing a Thai Health Promotion Fund to support health promotion activities outside of the Ministry of Health (MOH). The new approach would focus on lifestyle and environmental factors to promote population health, rather than only providing services to the sick. The fund would receive 2% of alcohol and tobacco tax revenues annually to support a more sustainable and predictable budget for health promotion programs led by various government agencies and non-profits. Key provisions and regulations would ensure transparency and accountability for use of the funds.
This document introduces Intellect's campaign to increase the UK government's investment in healthcare IT to 4% of the NHS budget as recommended by the 2002 Wanless Report.

Kano GIS Day 2014 - Direct vaccine delivery at your doorstepeHealth Africa
We are excited to be holding our own GIS Day event on November 19th, 2014!
GIS Day is a global grassroots educational event that enables Geographic Information Systems (GIS) users and vendors to showcase real-world applications of GIS to schools, businesses, and the general public. Organizations that utilize GIS around the world participate by holding or sponsoring an event of their own.
The first formal GIS Day took place in 1999. In 2005, more than 700 GIS Day events were held in 74 countries around the globe. Esri president and co-founder Jack Dangermond credits Ralph Nader with inspiring the creation of GIS Day. He saw GIS Day as providing an opportunity for the world to learn about the uses of GIS in mapping geography, and what that mapping technology could provide. He wanted GIS Day to be a grassroots effort and open to everyone to participate.
Recognizing the power that GIS technology could provide for healthcare, eHealth Africa as an NGO organization stepped to the forefront of using GIS applications to track polio in Nigeria. Using GIS technology, eHealth is able to map out areas previously unreached during immunization campaigns. Once the area is mapped, much-needed polio vaccinations are able to be distributed and the polio epidemic is brought another step closer to being controlled and eliminated.
The theme of GIS Day is “Discovering the world through GIS.” GIS Day provides an international forum for users of GIS technology to demonstrate real-world applications that are making a difference in our society and around the world.
We are excited to take part in GIS Day 2014 on November 19th. We look forward to joining with our community partners in discussing GIS usage, and to take a close look at the exciting contributions GIS provides around our world.

This document discusses electronic health records (EHRs) and the importance of ensuring continuous availability of clinical systems that store and manage patient health information electronically. Key points include:
1) EHRs improve patient care by providing immediate access to accurate patient information, but their implementation also increases dependence on underlying systems, so downtime can negatively impact care.
2) Unplanned computer downtime was once seen as a nuisance, but is now a risk event as clinical automation grows. Continuous availability of clinical systems like CPOEs is required to avoid compromising patient care.
3) Tape-based backups are no longer sufficient for healthcare IT systems that have replaced paper records, as restoring from tape can take
The document discusses meaningful use attestation and the process for receiving EHR incentive payments from the government. It outlines the three main steps: 1) registration in the EHR incentive program, 2) meeting meaningful use criteria using certified EHR technology, and 3) attesting that meaningful use criteria have been met. The document provides an overview of meaningful use goals and stages, EHR certification, eligibility for incentives, and the registration process.
The document discusses the importance of program management and strategic change management for eHealth initiatives. It notes that eHealth programs involve many interconnected projects that impact stakeholders. To succeed, an eHealth program management office should focus not just on project management, but also on governance, standards, architecture, change management and benefit realization. Managing stakeholders and helping them understand the benefits are also key to gaining support and adoption of eHealth programs.

Irish HSE EHR strategic business case master briefing deck v1.43GDR
The document outlines the objectives, components, and benefits of developing a National Electronic Health Record (EHR) system in Ireland. It aims to create understanding of the EHR as critical to healthcare reform by enabling data sharing across settings. The EHR would include electronic patient records, order communications, test results, and more. International examples show EHRs can reduce costs, errors, and improve outcomes. The briefing also discusses stakeholder engagement to develop the approach, proposed core solutions, and a phased implementation strategy.
The document discusses advancements in health information technology (IT) and electronic medical records (EMRs). It notes that while the US spends over $1.7 trillion annually on healthcare, Americans still face quality issues. EMRs and health IT can help by improving care coordination, monitoring guidelines, and measuring performance. The document outlines recent legislation promoting health IT adoption and the benefits of EMRs, such as reduced costs and errors. It explains what EMRs are and their role in supplementing technologies like e-prescribing. Finally, it discusses the concept of "meaningful use" to ensure EMRs improve care, safety, efficiency and engage patients rather than just being adopted.

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.
