3) Adopting an IT governance framework provided a clear mechanism to plan, implement, monitor and ensure value is delivered from the national eHealth strategy through defining roles for a steering committee, technical working groups, and program management office.
The document discusses burn injuries and their treatment. It notes that burns are a major global public health problem, causing over 195,000 deaths per year from fires alone. Burn treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach across various stages of care from first responders to long-term rehabilitation. The key types of burns are thermal, chemical, and electrical, with first aid including stopping the burn, assessing airway/breathing/circulation, and seeking prompt medical attention. Inhalation injuries can also occur and carbon monoxide poisoning is a leading cause of fire-related deaths. Proper first aid and emergency care is essential for burn patients.

The document outlines plans to modernize the Philippine Orthopedic Center through a public-private partnership (PPP) project. The project involves constructing a new 700-bed tertiary hospital facility to provide specialized orthopedic and trauma care. It will be developed on an 8,000 square meter site within the National Kidney and Transplant Institute compound. The private sector partner will design, build, finance, operate and maintain the hospital over a 25-year period. The new facility aims to improve healthcare services and address current constraints like low capacity utilization and outdated infrastructure through private sector efficiencies.
This document provides an update on the Philippine eHealth Strategic Framework and Plan from May 2014. It summarizes the status of leadership and governance, standards and interoperability, workforce, infrastructure, and services and applications. Key actions include activating a Program Management Office for eHealth, prioritizing the Philippine Health Information Exchange, and ensuring transparency of eHealth governance.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
The Importance of Black Women Understanding the Chemicals in Their Personal C...bkling
Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

25. Gaps identified
In consideration of the magnitude of Typhoon Yolanda
and the new normal, there is a need to:
• Update logistics and lifeline needs for emergency
health sector response
• Ensure health facilities to remain functional during
disasters
• Enhance equipment and preparation of health
response teams (local and international)
• Update health emergency preparedness, response,
and recovery plans
• Update systems for health service delivery especially
for mega disasters
26. Some specific challenges identified
• Current procurement plan accounted mainly for non-
capital outlay needs during emergency/disaster
• Some operational issues on cash advance releases/
liquidation experienced
• Team mobilization, composition, qualifications, and
deployment not clearly defined in responding to
Yolanda
• Current policies and guidelines covering most aspects
of health emergency and disaster response lack
provisions in addressing “mega” or “new normal”
emergencies and disasters
• Current CHD and hospital response plans did not
match the surge capacities requirements contingency
and business-continuity components
27. Way forward
On February 19 to 21, top management level of the
Department of Health held a strategic planning workshop
to increase its capacity to respond to emergencies and
disasters. There were five identified strategic objectives:
1. Improve the responsiveness of policies and plans at all
levels to mega disasters
2. Institutionalize effective ICS at all levels supported by
functional OpCen and IMS
3. Enhance the logistics and financing capacities to support
response operations
4. Build-up the resiliency of hospitals and other health
facilities against mega disasters
5. Enhance the adequacy, timeliness and appropriates of
health services delivered
