MyMeds&Me CEO Andrew Rut proposes the debate motion, “With the changes in society and increased use of electronic media, the role of the health professional in Yellow Card reporting will be diminished” at the MHRA Scientific Conference in Edinburgh - this year commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Yellow Card reporting scheme.
It is well recognized that patient reports enhance signal detection and enable earlier recognition of safety issues . Given the significant level of under-reporting of adverse events by HCPs (Only between <1% - 6% of suspected ADRs experienced by patients are reported) and the apparent appetite from patients to share their experiences, as seen in social media and patient forums globally, we believe that we need to simplify reporting processes and enable all patients to report online with ease.
Clean data direct from source, without alteration, is the life-blood of drug safety organisations. PV specialists evaluating the safety of medicines rely upon rapid access to clean, complete, consistent data from source and patients ultimately are that source. It is essential to capture this data and therefore build a true picture for future signal detection activities.

Introducing Comprehensive, Concurrent Patient Safety Surveillance for Hospita...Health Catalyst
Health Catalyst is excited to announce the Patient Safety Monitor™ Suite: Surveillance Module, the industry’s first comprehensive patient safety application to use predictive and text analytics combined with concurrent clinician review of data to help monitor, detect, predict and prevent threats to patients before harm can occur.
The Patient Safety Monitor Suite leverages AI and machine learning to quickly identify patterns of harm, learn from those patterns, and suggest strategies to eliminate patient safety risks and hazards. This potent combination of AI, machine learning, text analytics and near real-time data from multiple IT systems enables the Patient Safety Monitor Suite to predict harm events and guide clinical interventions while the patient is still in the hospital.
In this webinar you will learn how the Surveillance Module can provide:
* Greater clarity to the types, numbers, and causes of adverse events, enabling leaders to quickly prioritize improvement efforts.
* Improved patient outcomes such as reduced morbidity, mortality, and length-of-stay, and increased quality-of-life and satisfaction.
* Bottom-line cost savings and improved brand recognition related to unnecessary or preventable high-cost care and reduced/eliminated penalties.
* The ability for clinicians and infection preventionists to focus on patient care instead of burdensome manual data extraction, aggregation, and reporting.

The World Health Organization defines pharmacovigilance as the science and actions connected to the detection, evaluation, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug related problem. Pharmacovigilance is critical in ensuring that patients receive safe pharmaceuticals. We can learn more about a drugs side effects through a variety of methods, including spontaneous reporting, diligent monitoring, and database research. Novel mechanisms are being established at both the regulatory and scientific levels to increase pharmacovigilance. They include conditional approval and risk management strategies on a regulatory level, and openness and increasing patient engagement on a scientific one. OBJECTIVE To review and discuss various aspects of pharmacovigilance, including new methodological developments. V Sai Kruthika | Sarvani Ekathmika | Prathamesh Golapkar "Advanced Methodologies in Pharmacovigilance" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-7 | Issue-2 , April 2023, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com.com/papers/ijtsrd55052.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com.com/other-scientific-research-area/other/55052/advanced-methodologies-in-pharmacovigilance/v-sai-kruthika
Signal detection is a process used in pharmacovigilance to identify potential safety issues or new safety information associated with a medicinal product. The goal of signal detection is to detect signals, or potential safety concerns, as early as possible in order to allow for timely risk management and safety interventions.
Signal detection typically involves analyzing large amounts of safety data, including adverse event reports, clinical trial data, post-marketing surveillance data, and other sources of safety information. The data is analyzed using statistical methods and algorithms to identify any patterns or trends that may suggest a potential safety concern.
Once a potential safety concern is identified, further investigation is typically required to confirm the signal and assess the magnitude of the risk. This may involve conducting additional studies, analyzing the available data in more detail, or consulting with regulatory agencies and other stakeholders.
Signal detection is an ongoing process that continues throughout the life cycle of a medicinal product. The process is critical for ensuring the ongoing safety and effectiveness of medicinal products, and is an important component of pharmacovigilance activities.
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.
Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

One of the most developed cities of India, the city of Chennai is the capital of Tamilnadu and many people from different parts of India come here to earn their bread and butter. Being a metropolitan, the city is filled with towering building and beaches but the sad part as with almost every Indian city
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image
