Mobile Apps Relieve Confusion for All Hospital-Goers—Yes, Even Grandpa.
This webinar presentation from Phunware explores how mobile apps are changing the healthcare journey for patients and visitors from all walks of life. Although more than 73% of US adults own a smartphone, implementing mobile at your medical facility can provide different benefits for different demographics.
Hospital patients and visitors have come to expect the same easy access to information from their healthcare provider that they have as consumers. From translating wayfinding assets like maps and signs into multiple languages to sending patient communications, mobile has the ability to touch every aspect of the patient journey.
Key points:
- The future of mobile health and its impact on the patient journey
- Use cases from US hospitals
- How seniors and their caregivers are adopting mobile
- How mobile can be integrated into your overall facility wayfinding strategy
- Which demographics are most likely to miss appointments and how mobile can help
- Strategies for getting patients and visitors to use your app

mHealth refers to the delivery, facilitation and communication of health-related information via mobile telecommunication and multimedia technologies – including cell phones, tablets devices, PDAs and wireless infrastructure in general. In this report, mPulse provides an update on the state of the mHealth industry and predictions on the future of the industry.
The health care industry is lagging other industry sectors when it comes to customer-centric thinking in the age of digital, according to a new report by Adobe Digital Insights (ADI), which looks at how consumers are responding to the online tools at their disposal for managing health care.
Perficient Perspectives: The Evolution of Social Media in HealthcarePerficient, Inc.
Healthcare organizations continue to navigate the transforming healthcare industry and identify new avenues to engage with consumers outside of the facility walls. In a fast-paced, information-dominated world, successfully interacting with consumers may seem like a daunting task. The key is to connect with consumers where they are and provide them with actionable health and wellness information they need to live a healthier life.
When you think of social media in healthcare you might think it is a tool for marketing, but it goes much farther than that. Sure, social media can be used to attract and retain consumers, but social media can also be a powerful tool to reduce healthcare costs and help with chronic disease and population health management.
Healthcare organizations are in varying stages of becoming social enterprises, from social innovators like Mayo Clinic to those beginning the journey to developing a comprehensive social media strategy.
In this perspective, we take a look at the evolution of social media in healthcare and discuss what social media in healthcare will look like in the future.

Summary -- Patient Centered Medical Home the Necessary Foundation for Accountable Care and Population Management.
In the next 10 years, we will be living in 1) mobile world 2) in the middle of an aging and chronic disease epidemic and 3) data. But , we will also have the ability to analyze data in a cognitive way this will do for doctors’ minds what X-ray and medical imaging have done for their vision. How? By turning data into actionable information. Take, for instance, IBM’s intelligent supercomputer, Watson. Watson can analyze the meaning and con-text of human language and quickly process vast amounts of information. With this in-formation, it can suggest options targeted to a patient’s specific circumstances.
We need the basic foundation to support this transformation a system integrator where data at the level of a patients flows and is held accountable and that model is the Patient Centered Medical Home. (PCMH) starts to happen when clinicians/ healers step up to comprehensive relationship based care empowered by tools to manage the data and communicate effectively. This move to PCMH level care requires the discipline of leading a team that delivers population health management, patent centered prevention, care that is coordination, comprehensive accessible 24/7 and integrated across a deliver system and all of that is power by data made into meaningful information.
But at its core it is a move toward integration of a healing relationship in primary care and population management all at the point of care with the tools to do just that.
The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) lies at the center of the effort to get at population health, integrated and coordinated care. PCMH is where the Primary care healer leads an organization that delivers clinician-led primary care, with comprehensive, accessible, holistic, coordinated, evidence-based coordination and management. In the USA this is now the standard in the US Veterans Administration and the US Military and under the ACA.

Nothing will more dramatically alter the enterprise security landscape than mobile devices, especially those that are employee owned (BYOD). While mobile devices can greatly improve employee productivity, they don't play nice with legacy enterprise security controls. Are you stuck choosing between the lesser of two evils—lowering security by permitting mobile access or maintaining the status quo by banishing mobile access altogether?

Digital attribution is primarily associated with paid digital media and associated online click behavior. It is assumed that digital is effective, and since it saves cost of delivery of information it would be an effective channel. Pharmaceutical companies has absolutely no insight into how the digital interaction with the physician and the patient drives the efficacy of their current sales levers. At Kvantum, we help Pharma companies in answering questions like:
Does digital affect the need to reallocate spend on detailing vs sampling
Which type of digital interaction has the most impact on physician behavior when prescribing a drug, and how much time does it take digital interaction to influence that behavior
Does this behavior change with time?
Should the pharmaceutical company invest more in sales reps who can interact with a physician over email or chat?
Should the field sales rep call or meet less often, should part of these meetings be conducted over a digital medium

Presentation for Yingo Yango, a startup company that provides a mobile/web engagement platform to connect health and wellness resources and programming provided by employers or providers to individuals.
This slideshow was featured in our free webinar, in which Dr. Glen McCracken covered the top reasons why physicians don’t use telemedicine, and why those excuses just don't hold up to facts. Not sure about telemedicine, trying to convince a skeptical colleague, or just want to learn more about the benefits of offering evisits? You'll find what you're looking for in these slides.
Although telemedicine has been around for awhile, the idea of holding virtual visits, or “evisits,” with patients is still relatively new. So it’s only natural that not everyone understands how this new kind of care delivery works. Some healthcare providers might even have decided against telemedicine for reasons that seem logical but are actually unsupported.

CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V - ROLE OF PEADIATRIC NURSE.pdfSachin Sharma
Pediatric nurses play a vital role in the health and well-being of children. Their responsibilities are wide-ranging, and their objectives can be categorized into several key areas:
1. Direct Patient Care:
Objective: Provide comprehensive and compassionate care to infants, children, and adolescents in various healthcare settings (hospitals, clinics, etc.).
This includes tasks like:
Monitoring vital signs and physical condition.
Administering medications and treatments.
Performing procedures as directed by doctors.
Assisting with daily living activities (bathing, feeding).
Providing emotional support and pain management.
2. Health Promotion and Education:
Objective: Promote healthy behaviors and educate children, families, and communities about preventive healthcare.
This includes tasks like:
Administering vaccinations.
Providing education on nutrition, hygiene, and development.
Offering breastfeeding and childbirth support.
Counseling families on safety and injury prevention.
3. Collaboration and Advocacy:
Objective: Collaborate effectively with doctors, social workers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care for children.
Objective: Advocate for the rights and best interests of their patients, especially when children cannot speak for themselves.
This includes tasks like:
Communicating effectively with healthcare teams.
Identifying and addressing potential risks to child welfare.
Educating families about their child's condition and treatment options.
4. Professional Development and Research:
Objective: Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in pediatric healthcare through continuing education and research.
Objective: Contribute to improving the quality of care for children by participating in research initiatives.
This includes tasks like:
Attending workshops and conferences on pediatric nursing.

By fulfilling these objectives, pediatric nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal health and well-being of children throughout all stages of their development.
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
