This document provides background information and objectives for a study on the economic development of Bangladesh after gaining independence in 1971. It discusses several challenges Bangladesh faced such as high unemployment, lack of agricultural diversification, low crop yields, and poverty. The objectives of the study are outlined as evaluating Bangladesh's early economic policies and planning approaches. The planning commission established after independence aimed to prioritize economic development and increase self-sufficiency through initiatives like the first five-year plan and nationalizing industries. However, some critiques argued the planning efforts were unrealistic and failed to address challenges facing the economy and rural populations.

This study investigated the effects of hydrocortisone therapy on patients with septic shock. It found no significant difference in 28-day mortality between patients given hydrocortisone and those given placebo. While hydrocortisone hastened the reversal of shock, it also increased risks of superinfection and hyperglycemia. Based on these results, hydrocortisone cannot be recommended as general therapy for septic shock patients.
The SPARCL trial investigated whether high-dose atorvastatin reduces the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). The trial randomized 4,731 patients to atorvastatin 80mg daily or placebo. Atorvastatin reduced the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke but increased the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. The trial showed that high-dose statin therapy can lower the risk of another stroke in patients with a previous stroke or TIA through reduction of cholesterol levels.

Pulse vs. Daily Oral Cyclophosphamide for Induction of Remission in ANCA-Asso...Raj Kiran Medapalli
This document summarizes a study that compared pulse cyclophosphamide (IV or oral) given every 2-3 weeks to daily oral cyclophosphamide for inducing remission in ANCA-associated vasculitis. The study was a randomized controlled trial involving 149 patients across multiple centers. Both groups also received tapering doses of prednisone. The primary goal was to evaluate if pulse cyclophosphamide was as effective as daily treatment, but with fewer side effects due to the lower cumulative dose. Outcomes such as remission rates, adverse events, and relapse rates were compared between the two groups.

Aos 213 01 nelson rivaroxaban effectiveness and safety in nvaf finalTrimed Media Group
This study compared the real-world effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban versus warfarin for stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients using claims data. The study found:
1) Rivaroxaban and warfarin had similar risks of major bleeding, stroke, systemic embolism, and venous thromboembolism.
2) Rivaroxaban was associated with a higher risk of gastrointestinal bleeding compared to warfarin.
3) Patients were less likely to discontinue rivaroxaban treatment compared to warfarin, suggesting better treatment persistence with rivaroxaban.
This document summarizes a study examining the length of stay and economic implications of treating pulmonary embolism with rivaroxaban versus low molecular weight heparin-vitamin K antagonist (LMWH-VKA) in an emergency room setting. The study found that among patients in North America from the EINSTEIN PE trial, the median length of stay was 1 day shorter for those treated with rivaroxaban (3 days) compared to LMWH-VKA (4 days). This 1 day reduction in length of stay was associated with an estimated $2040 savings per patient for the rivaroxaban cohort based on average hospital costs. The study concluded that rivaroxaban was associated with a consistent
Shorr and bria innovation at the point-of-care rethinking the doctor-patient...Trimed Media Group
The document discusses innovations in doctor-patient interactions through technology. It proposes two solutions: 1) Creating a "story" of the patient's medical history and presenting issues for doctors to review before visits to improve care. This would be generated through automated document assembly. 2) Developing an "ad hoc" user interface optimized for point-of-care use, allowing doctors to take notes digitally in various formats like ink, checkboxes and dictation to focus on patient interaction instead of formal documentation. The goal is to enhance both the patient and provider experience through disruptive technology.
Kuperman Health Information Exchange & Care CoordinationTrimed Media Group
1) Care coordination requires improved information sharing both within care teams and across settings using health information exchange (HIE). However, current electronic health records (EHRs) were not designed for care coordination and do not adequately support sharing data and coordinating care.
2) NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is working to enhance care coordination for patients with diabetes and depression by improving EHR tools, care team workflows, and data sharing across settings using its regional HIE. Key features include standardized screening and monitoring, patient and provider education, population health analytics, and secure messaging.
3) The success of care coordination interventions is being evaluated based on clinical outcomes like HbA1c and depression measures, as well as process measures
This document discusses the need for innovation in healthcare, particularly for the elderly population and their caregivers. It introduces the InfoSAGE project, which aims to create a "living laboratory" to study how technology can improve communication, coordination and collaboration between elderly patients and their families. InfoSAGE will connect various sources of health information and services through identity and content coordination to address the challenges of aging and caregiving. The goal is to develop tools that help address problems around care coordination, respecting patient preferences and reducing caregiver burnout, as electronic health records currently do not adequately meet the needs of elderly patients and their families.
[Hongsermeier] clinical decision support services amdis finalTrimed Media Group
1) Clinical Decision Support Services (CDSS) allow externalization of clinical knowledge and decision support logic from electronic health records (EHRs) to specialized CDSS providers.
2) The Clinical Decision Support Consortium (CDSC) is working on standards for knowledge management, specification, and sharing of CDS content and services.
3) Opportunities exist for EHR vendors to leverage external CDSS as curating all needed clinical knowledge internally is challenging, and most EHR CDS cannot support advanced inferencing required for personalized medicine. Challenges include ensuring appropriate implementation and use of external CDSS within EHR workflows.
This document discusses delivering clinical knowledge and guidance directly into healthcare workflows through clinical decision support (CDS). CDS aims to provide clinicians and patients with intelligently filtered, situation-specific information to enhance patient care. The goal is to repurpose existing clinical content from various sources and deliver the most precise and useful information for each workflow and information need. Physician information needs were analyzed from query data to develop an ontology of needs. Content is curated, indexed as discrete facts, and tailored for specific situations by matching it to patient data, workflows, and information needs. Knowledge delivery aims to integrate actionable tools and options directly into clinical systems like EHRs.
The document summarizes a presentation on providing collaborative and coordinated care for patients with complex illnesses. Some key points:
- To achieve the goals of improved health outcomes, quality of care, and reduced costs ("Triple Aim"), the healthcare system needs to focus on caring for patients with complex chronic conditions who account for a large portion of costs.
- Successful models involve interdisciplinary, team-based care coordinated across care settings. CareMore, a Medicare Advantage plan, achieves better outcomes and lower costs through intensive management of frail patients using nurse practitioners, protocols, home monitoring, and an electronic health record.
- Clinical IT can support collaborative care by enabling documentation, care planning, decision support, and information
This document discusses challenges with using electronic health records (EHRs) to support clinical knowledge management (KM) and continuous learning. It outlines several investments made by Lahey Health to address these challenges, including using an external collaboration platform to manage clinical decision support (CDS) content outside of the EHR. The document argues that EHRs are not designed for collaboration or learning, and that clinical KM 3.0 approaches are needed to help health systems and users continuously self-improve.
The document is from the Intelligent Health Lab and discusses several topics:
1. The Lab's director and its affiliation with Harvard.
2. The potential for an "App Store for Health" where innovators can create and distribute apps across EMR systems, similar to app stores for smartphones.
3. The vision of a "Learning Health System" where evidence is continuously generated from patient data to improve outcomes over time.
Kibbe expect direct health information exchange in the context of state 2 mea...Trimed Media Group
This document provides an introduction to Direct exchange for those engaged in Stage 2 Meaningful Use programs. It discusses how Direct exchange relates to Stage 2 MU objectives and the role of DirectTrust in supporting Direct exchange adoption. Direct exchange allows EHR users using different vendors to securely send and receive messages and attachments. It is one way providers can meet Stage 2 MU requirements for transmitting care summaries during transitions of care and allowing patients to view, download and transmit health information. The document describes how Direct exchange works, involving Health Information Service Providers, Certificate Authorities, Registration Authorities, and X.509 certificates to enable secure exchange between organizations and individuals.
Crotty engaging patients in new ways from open notes to social mediaTrimed Media Group
The document discusses new ways to engage patients through open notes and social media. It describes initial findings from the OpenNotes project that showed patients found value in reading clinical notes. It also outlines how patients use social media to find health information and connect with others. The document argues that healthcare providers can leverage these technologies and concepts to reduce information asymmetry, educate patients, and learn from them to provide more engaging and effective care.

On March 11, Professor Gerald Conlogue, co-director of the Bioanthropology Research Institute at Quinnipiac, and
students x-rayed the remains of Fortune, an African-American man who died in bondage in 1798 near the Naugatuck
River.

services, Quinnipiac University
Fortune and his family were the legal property of Dr. Preserved Porter, a Waterbury physician, and lived on Porter’s farm.
It’s believed that Fortune worked the farm, while his wife, Dinah, worked in the home. Fortune was in his mid to late 40s
when he died. “If you look his bones, you can tell he did not have an easy life," Conlogue said.
3. Photo: Mark Stanczak, manager of photographic services, Quinnipiac University
After Fortune’s death, Porter prepared his skeleton to serve the study of anatomy, according to the Mattatuck Museum.
His rugged bone structure suggests that he was powerful man accustomed to rigorous farm work.

services, Quinnipiac University
Fortune’s skeleton underwent a bioanthropological analysis, and a 3D scanning camera was used to produced data that
can be used for a facial reconstruction. The researchers also used a 3D printer that makes replicas of the
bones, demonstrating pathology.

The students are using the unique experience to prepare for x-ray certification exams in May. "They will produce a
record that will last forever," Conlogue said. "This is an interdisciplinary educational project that will prove to be very
beneficial."
