How to do a Literature search for your research and scientific publication BhaskarBorgohain4
In the age of information boom it may be challenging task to find relevant information for your research work. its like finding a needle in a haystack. After initial readings from textbooks and library journals you may want to first search in Wikipedia, google, google scholar and then go to Pubmed, Medline, science direct , wileyonline, science.gov, cochrane library etc to formulate your keywords based on your research question. read a medical dictionary to find synonyms of the keywords and brainstorm with your supervisor, peers, friends etc to get more key words to search again and find the right search strategy. do not forget to look for Grey literature like unpublished Thesis works from reputed universities, proceedings of conferences of reputed professional associations as well. keep records using a software like end-note, Rayyan etc. References of authors must be recorded as you go along.

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.

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.
Participating in clinical trials related to child health.
Implementing evidence-based practices into their daily routines.
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.
Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

3. "Search filters" are evidence based literature search
strategies, developed using an explicit methodology and
tested using a gold standard test comparison study
design. They provide a standardised, systematic search
with a known level of performance.

5. Why do we need search filters?
Characteristics of ideal search
• Open access (no registration)
• Pre written (easy)
• One click (fast)
• Retrieves what we need
and excludes what we
don’t (accurate)

10. Search filter development
process
• Takes 6-9 months
• Involves team: expert advisory group, manager,
librarian/researcher(s), web technicians
• Is transparent, validated, documented and
reproducible
11. Why use a search filter?
• An “evidence based" search
= known effectiveness
• Benefits
– Saves time
– Increases likelihood of quality retrievals
– Removes individual search burden
– Embeds technical expertise
12. Application of the search filter
The filter:
• can be used to build specific topic searches (and
alerts)
• can be used to build your own search
• can target highest level of evidence and/or free full
text information (PubMed translation)
• can restrict results to English language information
13. What are the limits of a search
filter?
• effectiveness is subject to the quality of titles, abstracts and
MeSH headings in PubMed
• not all relevant and useful literature is found in PubMed
• there is no such thing as a perfect search
• building your own search requires some knowledge of the
search process for best results
16. …and knowledge translation (KT)
• Knowledge to Action Framework underpins the CareSearch project
• Evidence and KT guide decision making and processes
• Aim is to maximise the likelihood that evidence will be used.
