Safer Hospital Care Principles and Best Practices - 0 views

  •  
    Overview: Safe hospital care in neither a science nor an art. It is a practice just like the practice by a doctor who combines hindsight of experience and foresight of imagination to come up with an outsight of the best interventions and best protocols. Over time the doctor standardizes the process but is vigilant to any unique requirements of each patient. Such an approach in patient safety is called hazard analysis and mitigation process. This webinar goes a big step farther. It covers innovation strategies to assure that the safety improvements result in a high return on investment and high value to the hospital, and protects the patients. Why should you Attend: About 400,000 patients die each year from hospital mistakes according to a senate hearing. Evidence based methods to reduce adverse, sentinel, and never events are available and successful in aerospace, nuclear, and chemical industries. Why not use them? We need a paradigm shift. We need it in a hurry! You cannot cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Do not be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. No noble thing can be done without risks Areas Covered in the Session: The Etiologies of Unsafe Care Sufficient Understanding is a Pre-requisite to Safe Care Preventing "Indifferencity" to Enhance Patient Safety Continuous innovation is better than Continuous Improvement Innovations Should Start with Incidence Reports Hazard Analysis Fault Tree Analysis-the Best Tool for Harm Prevention Doing More with Less is Innovation Re-Invent Quality Management Human Errors may be Unpreventable, Preventing Harm is an Innovation Managing Safety: Lessons from Aerospace Protect Patients from Dangers in Medical Devices The Paradigm Pioneers Aequanimitas,The Best Known Strategy for Safe Care Who Will Benefit: Hospital senior management Hospital administrators Doctors Nursing staff Clinical engineers Radiology staff Infection control staff Patient advocates Speaker Profile Dev Raheja

Science of Reliability for Patient Care - 0 views

  •  
    Overview:   Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) defines reliability as "failure-free performance over time2". This is simple enough to be understood by anyone. The aim is to have no failures over an extended time period in spite of variability in the patient environment. spite of variability in the patient environment.  This is in line with the technical definition of reliability as the probability of successful performance of intended functions for a specified length of time under a specified user (patient) environment. In a system where the severity of consequences is high, such as in hospitals, the goal is to achieve reliability as close to 100% as possible. This is called failure-free performance. Some hospitals have achieved this goal for specific medical procedures for several quarters. Can they extend this performance over years instead of quarters? That is the challenge we need to face and find elegant solutions zero mistakes or find a way to protect patients if a mistake cannot be prevented.  Why should you Attend: The failures of the U.S. healthcare system are enormous considering the severity of failures. As much as 400,000 patients die each year from hospital mistakes. Another 2.1 are harmed from nosocomial infections (infections acquired during hospital stay). The cost is in billions. Discussions with doctors show that there is reluctance to apply reliability principles to healthcare systems because the variability in healthcare is enormous compared to the aviation and industrial fields. Each customer (patient) is different and each illness is unique in its own way. Then there are interconnecting systems such as cardiology, gynecology, gastroenterology, emergency medicine, oncology, and patient data from various doctors, pagers, computers, vendor software, and intensive care, each operating independently most of the time. But good approaches to improving the system reliability have been tried and tested in many industries. There is a

    A pharmaceutical drug is a chemical substance that is used to cure, diagnose, treat, or protect disease. Some pharmaceutical drugs are sold in pharmacies and some are sold over-the-counter or as over-the-counter medications. Prescription drugs have many different applications, including the treatment of certain illnesses, but they also come in various forms that range from capsules, tablets, liquids, and lotions. One of the most popular and major types of pharmaceutical drugs is the oral form. These are drugs that can be taken by swallowing, which means that they need to pass through the stomach into the upper intestines where they are metabolized and digested into other substances. It is important to note that a certain amount of stomach acid is normal in the intestines and it helps digest food. Another popular type of pharmaceutical drug is an injectable. These are available as intravenous fluids and can be injected into a vein or through a catheter to deliver drugs to the body. Many people opt for these drugs because of their convenience and ability to be delivered right to where they need it. There are also synthetic drugs that can be used to treat many of the problems faced by the body. These drugs are sometimes more expensive than the ones prescribed from a doctor but are considered to be safer since they do not have as many side effects. Also, some of these drugs are more reliable than the prescription medication provided by a doctor.

Rise in Number of Cardiovascular Surgery around the Globe is Impelling the Growth of th... - 0 views

    Micro guide catheters are used in order to guide the urethra so that you can have an easy time inserting your pet's urethra and not be worried about any kind of blockage at all. There are many types of these devices available in the market. Some of these are manual tube and electric as well. Many people prefer to use micro guide catheters because they are made very simple and with great ease of use. A growing number of surgical procedures for treating cardiovascular diseases is fueling the growth of the micro guide catheters market. According to the American College of Cardiology Foundation, in 2017, emergency medical services-assessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest occurred in an estimated 356,461 Americans; emergency medical services treatment was initiated in 52%. In the United States in 2019, coronary events are expected to occur in about 1,055,000 individuals, including 720,000 new and 335,000 recurrent coronary events. The increasing development of modern disposable catheters that are safer and more comfortable to insert is further projected to foster the growth of the micro guide catheters market. North America is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the continuous launch of innovative products by ley players in the region. For instance, in March 2017, Teleflex Inc. has announced 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. commercial launch of the TrapLiner Catheter. The TrapLiner Catheter was developed by Vascular Solutions Inc., which was acquired by Teleflex.

Chemicals & Materials: The Impact of Toxic Substances on Environment and Daily Life - 0 views

  •  
    Toxic chemicals & materials are making their way into everyday consumer products, homes, buildings, and even more. Some toxic chemicals have been phased-out of manufacturing in the United States, including asbestos, toxic dyes, and lead-based paint. If you have been exposed to hazardous chemicals in your home or workplace, or if you are concerned about the environmental impact of your product or service, contact a lawyer. A good lawyer will investigate the dangers of chemical and material use, provide information on legal remedies available to you, and provide you with recommendations for better, safer practices. The attorneys can also help you find a chemical testing laboratory that will test the levels of chemicals in your environment to determine whether they cause negative health issues. If you are concerned about how the toxic chemicals & materials have entered your environment, consider cleaning it up yourself. For example, if you're in a business where chemicals are used or stored, you may be able to clean up contaminated waste, which may be easier than hiring a cleanup company. If you are concerned about the environmental impact of a toxic chemical, contact your local EPA. They have specific programs that address concerns about chemical contaminants. These programs include the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs and Biological Weapons Act. They all regulate the chemical and material use in our homes, businesses, and environment. Read more @ https://coherentmarketinsights-cmi.blogspot.com/2020/12/chemicals-materials-impact-of-toxic.html

Injectable Drug Delivery is Getting Better with Scientists across the Globe Innovating ... - 0 views

    Drug delivery means different methods, approaches, technologies, formulations, and systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body to achieve desired therapeutic effects. There are different types of drug delivery including intravenous injectable, inhalation, or absorption. The injectable drug delivery is considered the most effective route of administration for the effective delivery of drugs to the targeted sites. This enhances the patient's compliance with the drug. This method of drug delivery boosts the drug adsorption from various sites including intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular. Moreover, it increases the bioavailability of the drug at the systematic circulation of the drug at the designated site of action. The challenges of administering an injectable drug to an area are unique and complex. It is common practice to inject a small amount of a drug into the skin of a subject in order to administer a larger dose. However, many complications could occur if too much of a drug is injected at once. Since most of these systems are designed to administer large amounts over a long period of time, multiple injections could cause serious health problems, such as infection and damage to vital organs. The future injectable drug delivery will require the development of new methods for delivering medications, and the creation of new products that provide a safer, more effective environment for the delivery process.

Best Wheelchair For Heavy Person - 0 views

  •  
    People who are very large or heavy may have difficulty using regular chairs. In some cases, they are simply too wide to comfortably fit in an average-sized chair, and in other cases their weight may damage or break the chair entirely. This is not only humiliating to the person who sits in the chair, but could result in injury if the chair collapses. To avoid such an unfortunate occurrence as well as potential litigation, it is important to purchase heavy duty chairs that can accommodate larger family members, employees, and customers. Heavy duty wheelchairs can also be made for specific purposes. An off-road wheelchair, for example, is a heavy duty wheelchair designed for individuals who intend on spending a lot of time on rugged terrain. The most common type of heavy duty wheelchair is a bariatric wheelchair, which is designed to allow larger individuals adequate mobility. For this matter, heavy duty wheelchairs typically have larger seats than conventional wheelchairs. The frames of these wheelchairs can be made from several different reinforced metals, although a titanium wheelchair is often the most popular choice. The wheels themselves are made of thicker rubber than normal, preventing any possible failure due to the greater amount of weight supported. Most makes of heavy duty wheelchairs fold like regular wheelchairs, making storage relatively easy despite the wheelchair's increased size. For the user's convenience, a heavy duty wheelchair can either be manually-operated or motorized, each with its own pros and cons. A manual Heavy Duty Wheelchair gives full control of motion to the user, but the added weight from the reinforcements makes pushing or propelling the wheelchair much harder than normal. A motorized heavy duty wheelchair offers a solution to this dilemma, but is often more expensive and harder to maintain than a manual wheelchair. Some designs offer a combination of both, with a small motor assisting those pushing the wheelchair. The proper c
