The project involves 50 clients receiving assistance with medication prompting via daily video calls instead of home visits. Progress so far includes obtaining ethics approval, conducting information sessions, and developing processes and procedures for the client-side system and customer service center. The project involves several collaborators and aims to evaluate benefits for clients, caregivers, and economic benefits through quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis.
Transforming Post-Acute Care with IMPACTCitiusTech
On October 6, 2014, a bipartisan bill on Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation (IMPACT) was signed. The IMPACT Act seeks to standardize assessments for vital care issues across the gamut of post-acute care (PAC) providers and builds a framework to ensure that the delivered care is mindful of the patient needs; thereby eliminating the current silo-focused approach to quality measurement and resource utilization.
Meaningful Use is a CMS program that provides incentives for healthcare providers to adopt and meaningfully use electronic health records (EHRs) to improve patient care. It has 3 stages - stage 1 focuses on data collection, stage 2 on information exchange, and stage 3 on improved health outcomes. Providers can earn incentives through Medicare or Medicaid by meeting criteria for meaningful use over time. Failure to comply will result in penalties being applied to Medicare reimbursements.

How Pharma Can Use Digital Health to Drive Value | A Medullan WebinarMedullan
With the shift to value, healthcare payers are insisting that pharmaceutical manufacturers deliver real world evidence of their drug’s efficacy before being allowed on formulary. The cost of new specialty treatments has forced companies to bolster and go beyond clinical trial, proving that their drugs improve health outcomes and reduce the cost of care with real world evidence.
So how do pharmaceutical companies gather these data points and what kind of digital tools should they use?
This document provides an overview of the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) plan.

This document discusses strategies for drug management in health systems. It begins by outlining the objectives of understanding the drug management cycle, drug selection process using generic essential drugs, drug procurement calculations, storage and distribution, and management tools. The drug management cycle consists of drug selection, procurement, storage/distribution, and use, supported by management systems. Drug selection involves choosing drugs based on disease prevalence and costs. Procurement involves estimating needs, prices, and ordering quantities based on consumption rates. Storage and distribution requires proper facilities and forms. Management tools and security measures support the entire process.
The document discusses the nursing process and how it is used to create individualized care plans for patients.

Development and validation of the Vi-Med ® tool for medication reviewHA VO THI
linical pharmacy practice in Vietnam is unregulated by standard procedures, thus motivating this study, which developed and validated a tool called Vi-Med ® for use in supporting medication review (MR) in Vietnamese hospitals. Six clinical pharmacists from six hospitals used the tool, which comprises three forms: Form 1 for the collection of patient information, Form 2 for the implementation of MR, and Form 3 for the documentation of pharmacist interventions (PIs). The tool also comes with eight pre-identified drug-related problems (DRPs) and seven PIs. The pharmacists were asked to categorize 30 PI-associated scenarios under appropriate DRPs and corresponding interventions. Concordance among the pharmacists was assessed on the basis of agreement level (%) and Cohen's kappa (κ). We also evaluated the user-friendliness of the tool using a four-point Likert scale. Concordance in the panel with respect to DRPs and PIs was substantial (κ = 0.76 and 80.4% agreement) and almost perfect (κ = 0.83 and 87.6% agreement), respectively. All the experts were satisfied with the structure and content of Vi-Med ®. Five of them evaluated the tool as very suitable, very useful, and definitely fitting for everyday use. Vi-Med ® satisfactorily achieved consistency and user-friendliness, enabling its use in daily clinical pharmacy practice.

If you work for a hospital or health care organization you may select a policy that is of interest to you then follow these assignment instructions:
· Imagine you are a health care administrator at your current employer. Analyze the policy you selected, taking into consideration any recent changes. Evaluate what information and where that information would need to be updated. Propose revisions that are based on current identified standards and/or new guidelines that you have researched in the text or identified in other high-quality sources (that is, journals, government websites, and the like). Analyze the significance of the selected policy updates as it relates to potential litigation. (Why did the policy need updating? What threats do these changes help avoid?) Summarize your perspective on the revisions as well as any additional changes that should be considered. Present your work as an executive summary suitable for distribution to your organization’s board members.
Option B
If you do not work in the industry or do not have access to a health care policy, use the Hahnemann Falls Policy to complete this assignment. Then follow these assignment instructions:
· As you can see, this policy was written in 2012. Now, imagine you are a health care administrator working at the health care organization where this policy originates from. Analyze the policy, taking into consideration the changes in HIPAA and PHI since 2012. Evaluate what information and where that information would need to be updated for a current revision of this document. Locate the areas where you would update or add information to this 2012 version. Propose revisions that are based on current identified standards and/or new guidelines that you have researched in the text or identified in other high-quality sources (that is, journals, government websites, and the like). Analyze the significance of the selected policy updates as it relates to potential litigation. (Why did the policy need updating? What threats do these changes help avoid?) Summarize your perspective on the revisions as well as any additional changes that should be considered. Present your work as an executive summary suitable for distribution to your organization’s board members.
Your paper should be 3–5 pages long and should include a title page and references for a total of 5–7 pages.

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).

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
