The impact of New Models of Care on a Health Economy’s Digital StrategyHIMSS UK
This document discusses the key digital implications of new models of care on a health economy's digital strategy. It presents a case study of the Croydon Accountable Provider Alliance (APA) in the UK. The three key digital implications discussed are:
1) Organizational form and governance - The new model of care requires a shared governance structure and independent project management to achieve digital ambitions.
2) Interoperability - The model requires a fully interoperable electronic health record that can be shared across providers and with patients. Options for integration platforms are considered.
3) Analytics - A culture of data-driven decision making is needed. Joint business intelligence services and a focus on population health analytics can improve

HSCIC/ESR Data Quality / Data Standards Road Shows 2015/16
The Health and Social Care Information Centre has hosted a series of road shows jointly with the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) Central Team and Health Education England to highlight developments in NHS workforce information, data standards and data quality.
Here are the slides presented at the fourth event, held at the Taunton Rugby Club, Taunton on 25th February 2016.
Data quality is all about collaborative working with a shared purpose and this is the main driver behind our road shows during 2015/16. Any efforts to improve data quality should have mutual benefits and should provide a platform for discourse between all involved. Collectively we can ensure that the data that is used to inform decisions about the workforce at local, regional and national level is as accurate as possible. Good data quality can't guarantee good decisions are made, but poor data quality will definitely increase the likelihood of poor decisions and poor outcomes.
The document discusses several initiatives by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) to improve information governance, reduce bureaucracy around data collection, and enhance data quality and standards. Specifically, it mentions the HSCIC publishing a register of data releases, reviewing data sharing by predecessor organizations, and strengthening its board. It also details the HSCIC's work on busting bureaucracy through audits, reducing data collection burdens, developing common standards, assessing national data quality, and sharing child protection information between health and social care services.
Dr Geraint Lewis FRCP FFPH - Chief Data Officer, NHS EnglandHIMSS UK
This document discusses new care models in the NHS in England. It describes 50 vanguards that were selected to test 5 new models of care, including integrated primary and acute care systems, multispecialty community providers, and enhanced health in care homes. The vanguards aim to improve population health management, person-centered care, and access to services in communities through greater integration and coordination of health and care services. Early results show reductions in hospital admissions and emergency department visits in some of the vanguards.
This document proposes a patient-centered database system to efficiently utilize large amounts of medical record data.
It identifies current problems with ineffective and dispersed health information sharing between hospitals. Three potential solutions are presented: dispersed systems remain separate; a fully integrated single database; or dispersed databases that are linked.
The proposal is for a system where hospitals and other stakeholders like insurers and government maintain their own databases, but share anonymized patient data through linkages. This allows data access while protecting privacy and security. Potential applications and stakeholders are discussed. A phased implementation plan and budget are also outlined.
The document discusses getting co-production right in health services. It describes a health and care voluntary sector program that aims to improve services and promote well-being. It also summarizes presentations on introducing co-production, a patient perspective on co-production, monitoring mental health services through user involvement, user-driven commissioning, and making disability an asset in the workplace. The document advocates for equal partnerships between organizations and service users.
This document provides summaries from several presentations about driving progress in health care through research supported by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in the UK. The first presentation introduces the NIHR and its role in supporting different types of health care research. The second presentation describes a clinical academic fellowship funded by the NIHR and the research and career development it enabled. The third presentation summarizes a large clinical trial called DRAFFT that compared wire fixation and plate fixation for distal radius fractures and found wires to be as effective and cost less, leading to a change in practice. The last presentation discusses the experience of patients who participate in research and how it can benefit the NHS.

A VIVO VIEW OF CANCER RESEARCH: Dream, Vision and RealityPaul Courtney
Presentation made by Paul Courtney (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA and OHSL, MD) and Anil Srivastava (OHSL) at the 2013 VIVO conference in St. Louis, MO. Material contributed by Rubayi Srivastava (OHSL), Swati Mehta (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, India), Juliusz Pukacki (Poznan Supercomputing and Network Center, Poland) and Devdatt Dubhashi (Chalmers Institute of Technology, Sweden).
The document summarizes the development of an evaluation framework and data collection system for the Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers (PS-OC) program. It describes how the program initially collected data manually but transitioned to an automated system called iTRAQR that allows for structured data entry and visualization of outputs like publications, collaborations, and personnel. The system helps analyze activities at the individual, center, and network levels. Lessons learned include starting with a logic model, having a flexible approach, and recognizing that evaluation depends on available data. Overall, the document outlines how the PS-OC program developed its evaluation strategy and an in-house system to systematically track outputs and outcomes over time.

This document discusses a project called MEGS-KT (£71,000) led by Drs Andrea Wheeler and Paul Rowley. The project aims to develop an online continuing professional development (CPD) platform for the energy sector by collaborating with the existing Midlands Energy Graduate School (MEGS) community. The project addresses skills shortages by exploiting synergies between universities and small/medium enterprises. It has engaged industry representatives through workshops and captured lectures. Challenges include losing an IT developer and the need for temporary support to complete a working demonstrator platform.
The document discusses the findings of a project that examined the information management needs of an accessibility research group (ARG) at University College London. It was found that the ARG researchers have significant needs for training and support with basic information management, data management, and navigating administrative requirements. While universities provide some services, they are often fragmented and not tailored to specific research areas. The document proposes embedding a "Research Information Manager" role within research departments to help address these needs by conducting information audits, developing training and data management plans, and acting as a liaison between the research team and central university services. A pilot project is suggested to demonstrate the benefits of this new role.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.
Nano-gold for Cancer Therapy chemistry investigatory projectSIVAVINAYAKPK
chemistry investigatory project
The development of nanogold-based cancer therapy could revolutionize oncology by providing a more targeted, less invasive treatment option. This project contributes to the growing body of research aimed at harnessing nanotechnology for medical applications, paving the way for future clinical trials and potential commercial applications.
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, prompting the need for innovative treatment methods. Nanotechnology offers promising new approaches, including the use of gold nanoparticles (nanogold) for targeted cancer therapy. Nanogold particles possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them suitable for drug delivery, imaging, and photothermal therapy.

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.
