Niche of the month june 2013 dentist
This document provides an overview of the dentistry niche for June. It outlines that general dentistry makes up 80% of dentists, who on average earn $194,000 annually. The industry is growing due to factors like an aging population keeping their teeth longer and increased awareness of oral health. However, the Affordable Care Act may impact the number of patients with dental coverage. Marketing is important but often not well taught, and new patients are key to a practice's success.

08chap ppt
This chapter discusses language access services and cross-cultural communication in healthcare. It notes that over 50 million people in the US speak a language other than English, including 8% who have limited English proficiency. When language barriers are present, healthcare encounters can result in misunderstandings and medical errors. The chapter reviews legislative requirements for language services, resources available, and the importance of using trained interpreters rather than ad hoc interpreters to avoid problems. Effective communication involves awareness of linguistic and cultural differences in areas like non-verbal behavior and concepts of illness.
Knowledge Base for Transcultural Health
This document outlines a proposal for creating a knowledge base called "Medals" to improve transcultural health and medicine. It discusses four competences needed - anthropological, clinical, communicative, and psychological. Poor communication can lead to misdiagnosis or erroneous prescriptions. The knowledge base would include models of health and disease across cultures, linguistic and cultural differences that impact communication, and examples from different languages and cultures.

This document discusses securing fair treatment for deaf patients in medical settings. It explores how hospitals often lack adequate communication services for deaf patients. Deaf patients are sometimes told to wait for an interpreter or use video interpreting, but if those options are unavailable they must communicate through written notes. The purpose is to bring attention to deaf patients deserving equal respect and treatment as hearing patients. Literature from different time periods shows deaf patients have faced challenges in receiving proper care due to lack of communication. Even with laws like the ADA, many doctors and hospitals did not prioritize expenses for interpreters. The debate continues regarding new technologies like cochlear implants. Overall more awareness and advocacy is still needed to ensure deaf patients receive full comprehension and participation in their medical

Language is the means by which a patient accesses the health care system, learns about services, and makes decisions about her or his health behavior. Language is also the means by which the health care provider accesses a patient’s beliefs about health and illness, and thus creates an opportunity to address and reconcile different belief systems. In essence, communication between nurses and patients is the heart of nursing care. Communication between patients and chemists is also key to their access to healthcare. Such patients visit chemist for self medication or to procure medicine for themselves or their families. The multilingual situation in Kenya and many African countries can complicate communication between healthcare providers and their patients. Such complications can cause language barriers that can impair access to healthcare. This is due to low literacy levels and challenges in understanding languages of wider communication such as English and Kiswahili for the case of Kenya. Under these circumstances, translation and interpretation become key to alleviating or eliminating communication barriers. This paper discuses linguistic challenges in access to healthcare in Kenya and proposes translation and interpretation as a way of dealing with the challenges. It argues that in a highly multilingual situation as is the case in Kenya, Translation and interpretation is a significant way of addressing challenges in medical access.

1) The document discusses the importance of health literacy and patient-centered care in audiology. Many patients have low health literacy due to hearing loss and other factors.
2) A study found that counseling dialogs between audiologists and patients had a reading level below a 4th grade level, significantly lower than the language used by audiologists. Patient materials like hearing aid instructions were also too advanced.
3) Low health literacy is common and associated with poorer health outcomes. Audiologists must find ways to improve communication through simpler language and formats responsive to patient needs and abilities.
AAA 2016 Poster2
This document describes the development of an evidence-based health literacy toolkit for hearing loss. It discusses low health literacy rates and issues with existing patient materials and counseling in audiology. The toolkit, called the Hearing Health Literacy Toolkit, uses the 5 A's model (Assess, Advise, Agree, Assist, Arrange) as a framework. It incorporates tools and techniques grounded in health literacy principles, motivational interviewing, shared decision making, and patient-centered care to improve how audiologists educate and treat patients with hearing loss. The goal is to help patients better understand and manage their condition.

One way of researching if you are able to be competent for caring .docx
One way of researching if you are able to be competent for caring for a client of a diverse culture is to utilize a tool. One such tool is the CCSE, available on the APA website, which stands for Cultural Competence Self-Evaluation Form. Take a look at the link, which contains the form, and list some pros and cons to using such a tool.

1. What are some of the vulnerable populations we may see as clinicians? How can one ensure that an informed consent is not coerced from vulnerable populations? What safeguards should be in place to ensure that the consent is truly voluntary? What difficulties do you anticipate encountering in regards to these vulnerable clients and what actions will you take?
2. Why is the selection of culturally neutral assessment tools so critical to the ethical practice of psychology? What can potential harm result if assessment materials are culture-bound? What potential limitations do you foresee encountering with culturally neutral assessment tools?
3. With so much information available online, what does the APA offer as guidelines regarding informed consent and the Internet? What 'social network' contact do you feel would be appropriate with clients and why?
4. According to the APA Ethics Code, what conditions would justify termination of therapy? Do you agree with the prohibitions? Why or why not? What steps would you need to take to assist the client with the termination?
5. There are many things that we have assumptions about. Becoming a professional means we need to challenge those assumptions and educate yourself to best treat our clients. What are your thoughts about these? See the attached link

Cultural competence is a critical skill needed among healthcare practitioners. The patient in the case is John from Congo. The Democratic Republic of Congo is a country in Africa endowed with various resources and recurring epidemics such as Ebola. The culture is highly tied to strong family structures. Language differences from cultural differences negatively impact health literacy. Therefore, it is incumbent upon health care professions to deliver health care information that the patient can easily comprehend.
Often, patient education materials are written in advanced reading levels that non-native English speakers may find it difficult to comprehend. One of the strategies is the use of visual aids. Not only do visual aids promote active interaction, but visual aids also aid in visual learners. The health care practitioners can point to some of the body parts that are complex to understand. The effect of the disease can also be explained from visual charts, videos, or models. A simulation in necessary instances is also essential. For patients speaking English as a second language, the health care professions can speak slowly and use simple sentences.

In order to care for a patient and effectively educated them on their treatment, the healthcare professional needs to have an understanding of their culture, beliefs and attitudes of that individual. Lack of understanding of the cultural differences or ignoring a patients beliefs, values or attitudes can impede the learning process, which can result in nonadherence of the treatment. Although all cultures possess different styles of beliefs, views or practices, it is important not to stereotype, since everyone develops their own style of practices(Falvo, 2011).

Debra Roter - Reducing the Oral Literacy Burden of Medical Dialogue
"Stripping it Down, Mixing it Up, and Bringing it Home: Reducing the e Oral Literacy Burden of Medical Dialogue" was presented at the Center for Health Literacy Conference 2011: Plain Talk in Complex Times by Debra Roter, DrPH, Professor, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Description: The presenter will describe a framework for thinking about the oral literacy burden in medical dialogue, discuss the evidence that links oral literacy burden to patients’ satisfaction and comprehension of medical information, and propose practical ways to reduce the oral literacy burden of routine health communication with patients.
Patient Empowerment by Increasing Information Accessibility In a Telecare Sys...
The document discusses a proposed solution to increase patient empowerment by making medical information more accessible and understandable. It describes a language interpretation engine that can analyze medical texts and generate simplified interpretations by automatically identifying and explaining medical terminology. The system was integrated into an existing tele-care system and showed promising accuracy rates in initial tests, though further testing is still needed. The goal is to help patients better understand their health by clarifying complex terminology.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

- 3. Easier for the professionals, the patients, and the family members if it was unnecessary to call in an interpreter. Sign language is a very popular language used throughout the United States, and there are around 500,000 to 2,000,000 signers. violate the HIPAA policies. Another alternative is Computer Assisted Real-time Transcription (CART). This is a computer that helps hearing impaired client communicate with healthcare professionals, but like all computers there are flaws. In most situations family members are the ones who translate for the deaf patient.
