International rare cancer advocacy organizations collaborate to support patients globally.
This presentation provides an overview of communities of practices in healthcare and opportunities to apply them globally using emerging technologies. A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people from a common profession that share knowledge and experiences with each other so that they can grow personally and professionally. CoP often share with each other educational materials and best practices, meet online with peers to discuss the implementation of best practices, and meet regularly with colleagues for consultation and mentoring, and support. Communities of practices can become one of the most important sources of support for professionals and current knowledge. Communities of practice can also help to advance the profession by refining the implementation of best practices to new situations and environments. Communities of practice have expanded significantly in the last decade using online technologies that allow groups to communicate worldwide. This presentation will provide examples of implemented communities of practices, the barriers and facilitators, and opportunities for application using online and mobile technologies.

The document describes four stages of evolution for the design of health care organizations. Stage 1 is characterized by a fragmented system with autonomous physicians and organizations. Stage 2 sees the formation of referral networks and multidisciplinary teams. Stage 3 incorporates more patient-centered care, greater use of teams, and modest use of information technology. Stage 4, described as the vision for the 21st century, aims to fully redesign care processes around patient needs with state-of-the-art use of information and a coordinated, integrated delivery system. The document recommends workshops to help organizations progress toward this Stage 4 model.
Making the case for cost-effective wound managementGNEAUPP.
This document discusses cost-effective wound management and making the case for it. It begins by explaining the challenges in wound management, including increasing prevalence of wounds and difficulty collecting data on clinical efficacy, effectiveness, and costs. It then discusses common myths around cost-effectiveness, clarifying that cost-effective does not mean cheaper but provides benefits at a reasonable cost compared to alternatives. The document outlines different types of economic analyses used in healthcare, particularly cost-effectiveness analysis, and discusses understanding costs from various perspectives.
This presentation was given by Kate Hawkins, Institute of Development Studies, at a capacity building workshop on research communication in April 2008.
- The document discusses ensuring community care is provided in close collaboration with citizens and communities. It emphasizes the importance of patient empowerment, health literacy, digital health, patient involvement, and inclusiveness.
- Patient empowerment in community settings requires a shift towards seeing patients as equal partners in their care. This involves improving health literacy, self-management support, and shared decision-making between patients and healthcare professionals.
- Digital technologies can help facilitate chronic disease management and patient-centered care if designed and implemented in a way that strengthens patient empowerment and health literacy. Meaningful patient involvement in healthcare, research, and policy is also critical.
This document proposes a vision for a National Health Information Infrastructure (NHII) to address the fragmented and isolated nature of health information in the US. It argues that chronic care in particular requires integrated information and services across providers and locations. Grid technology coupled with autonomous agents could provide an affordable way to build an NHII by distributing information and services nationally. This would improve chronic care by ensuring the right information is available to providers at the right time.
Public health involves maintaining the well-being of entire communities. Professionals aim to prevent unhealthy conditions through proactive measures and diligence. Modern approaches emphasize social mobilization, where community members and professionals work interactively. Risk communication is an ongoing process involving diverse messages about risk factors and people's risk perceptions. It aims to appropriately concern those at genuine risk while reassuring excessively worried individuals. Effective crisis communication provides timely information to allow the best decisions under constraints. Lessons from past health crises show the importance of managing uncertainty, identifying spokespeople, and informing all stakeholders.
Barriers and Enablers Associated with Differentiated Models of ART Distributi...JSI
In an effort to expand access to antiretroviral treatment (ART), countries across sub-Saharan Africa have begun to implement and scale up differentiated approaches to ART distribution, particularly at the community level. These distribution models are typically designed to cater to stable adult patients and aim to bring ART closer to where patients live, which, in turn, serves to decongest clinics and reduce the overall strain on a country’s health system. While documentation on the results of these models exists, there is limited information on the specific barriers and enablers that have impacted the implementation of such models. This cross-country study describes various models of differentiated ART distribution and the barriers and enablers associated with their implementation.
The community models of ART distribution that were explored were: community adherence clubs, outreach and community distribution points.
It was concluded that While differentiated models of ART distribution aim to broaden patient access to ART, models that provide these services at the community level have additional challenges and considerations that should be assessed and planned for prior to implementation. Two important barriers seen across all countries assessed included stigma and poor linkage to care. Peer support and education for both patients and providers were noted as important drivers of the success of community models. Intensive education at the front-end of scale-up can help providers effectively market the community-level models and help patients pick a model that would work best for them. Understanding these barriers and enablers will help country programs effectively and efficiently implement differentiated models of ART distribution to fit varying contexts, and allow for rapid scale-up, resulting in expanded access to ART and the ability to better meet the demands of patients on ART on a global level.

Meeting healthcare challenges: what are the challenges and what is the role o...Mohammad Al-Ubaydli
The document discusses the challenges facing healthcare systems and the role that e-health can play in addressing these challenges. The major challenges are quality and safety, access, responsiveness, and affordability. E-health can help by providing access to electronic patient records, reducing complexity, optimizing information processing, and increasing efficiency. It can also help with navigation through the healthcare system and engaging patients in their own health. The document advocates for free access to research information and using data to identify at-risk patients in need of care.
The document summarizes a patient safety workshop that introduced the Whole Systems Integrated Care (WSIC) programme and Imperial College Health Partners (ICHP) patient safety initiatives in North West London. The workshop aimed to gather feedback on how patients can get more involved in improving safety. It covered the vision for integrated care in NWL and patient stories. Group exercises discussed risks to a safer system and how patients and professionals can work together on safety. The Patient Safety Champion Network was introduced to promote patient engagement in safety work across NWL.
Humanitarian-Development Global Health Task Force -- Bowen and Hartness CORE Group
This document outlines the formation and proposed scope of work for a Humanitarian-Development Global Health Task Force. It notes that over 60% of maternal deaths and the majority of countries with high neonatal mortality occur in fragile settings impacted by conflict or political instability. If progress reducing preventable child and maternal deaths is to continue, a new approach is needed that bridges humanitarian and development work.
The Task Force was formed in 2016 to develop strategies and work plans to improve dialogue between humanitarian and development organizations. It aims to provide practical guidance, advance evidence around community-based approaches in fragile contexts, and conduct advocacy to reduce barriers across the humanitarian-development continuum.

One health condition that is becoming more common day by day is diabetes.
According to research conducted by the National Family Health Survey of India, diabetic cases show a projection which might increase to 10.4% by 2030.
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance

What is the Global Heart Network
1. Increasing Access to Cardiac Care In Low and Middle Income
Countries
www.globalheartnetwork.net
2. A Global Challenge
93 % of all the people in the world living outside
North America, Australia, and Europehave no
access to cardiac surgery!
This means approximately 4.5 billion people in
the world have no access to cardiac surgery.
(Unger F. Worldwide survey on cardiac interventions 1995. Cor Europaeum. 1999;7:128-46.)
3. A Global Challenge
Many Cardiac Surgeons, Cardiologists and
other Health Care Providers in the more
affluent countries want to become involved
in a program to improve the world’s access
to cardiac surgery but have no idea how to
do go about it.
More importantly, those who are involved
are often unaware of other ongoing
programs
4. Current situation
The problem The problem
The problem
Organizations are willing to collaborate
but they face challenges
Lack of transparency
and reliable data
No Unified approach
Potential disconnect
between medical and
NGOs
Competition for
funding and
historic barriers
5. The Need for Change
Explanation Care providers often work
individually within their own self-
imposed silos; their management
systems work independently of each
other without exchanging information
with other related nonprofits.
Explanation It is crucial to create and foster collaboration
through data sharing, analyzing best practices and new care
pathways that can become standards across the developing
world that will change the way cardiology services are delivered.
6. The Solution
The GHN platform is a ‘contribution platform’ committed to fostering communication and
collaboration both locally and worldwide to all stakeholders
We envision the GHN platform as a central space for participants to share project ideas, collaborate,
and build upon existing resources, mechanisms and communities.

8. The Web Application
1. Set up a Profile 2. Post a Need
The GHN Platform sends out messages to other users with profile characteristics
that match the project need
9. Community Action Panel (CAP Forum)
(Unger F. Worldwide survey on cardiac interventions 1995. Cor Europaeum. 1999;7:128-46.)
3. Engage in discussions with other users to solve the problem, share best
practice or exchange various kind of information
The CAP is a knowledge sharing section ‘Forum’ allowing users to share expertise and provide tailored
solutions to serious problems in health disparity for cardiovascular services . The GHN members (NGOs,
clinicians, academics, funders, etc) becomes part of the solution through a fluid system of exchange and growth
during solution development . Users can present problem, start threads, share information, and discuss
important issues clinical, policy, resource allocation issues.
