Ensuring Patient Safety in Surgical Environments is Critical for Healthcare Providers A critical component of patient safety relates to surgical environments. Surgical theaters are prone to causing a high degree of harm. This can be from a number of sources. Patient safety in surgical environments can be from any microbe or fungus in any of the accessories used during surgery, such as ECG machine, the echo machine, or other related ones. A host of external factors can impinge upon patient safety in surgical environments Patient safety in surgical environments can also be compromised on account of the use of infected items such as swabs, sponges, knives, forceps, needles, catheters, tubes or any other such accessories or instruments. Patient safety in surgical environments can also get affected by the presence of microscopic allergens and molds in any bedding or clothing item. Even germs transmitted from the caregivers can be a source of lack of patient safety in surgical environments. Another major source where patient safety in surgical environments can suffer is when items are left behind in patients��� bodies by the surgeon. There have been innumerable cases of entire surgical items being left behind in the patient, even in the best hospitals, when surgery is performed by the best surgeons. Get a proper understanding of the underlying causes What do all these point to? These point to the fact that all the factors mentioned above are manmade and are preventable. So, understanding the root of the problem is the key to ensuring patient safety in surgical environments. East and west carry differences Any approach to a solution for ensuring patient safety in surgical environments has to start with the understanding that different healthcare and surgical environments exist in different parts of the world. A surgical environment in Germany for instance is vastly different from that in say, Ghana. So, an individualized approach is what is needed. It is to be note

Virtual reality technology in gaming is the active application of a three-dimensional (3D) artificial environment to computer games. The VR environment is created with the help of VR software and specialized devices and offered to the end user in such a way that it supersedes the real-world environment. This way, it creates a suspension of disbelief and allows a user to experience the VR environment. There three major technologies included in VR gaming namely head-mounted displays, which are very popular and have the same quality of video as the traditional gaming monitor, and surround sound systems that will produce a surround sound experience. The third type of technology is motion-based games. In this system, the gamer is tracked by the game and can move around the environment. With these types of systems, you can move around the virtual world with your head movement but if you are playing the traditional games this isn't possible and you will feel like you are inside a compute. Market Drivers Growing availability of theme-based and griping games in VR format is expected to drive growth of the virtual reality in gaming market during the forecast period. Many gaming companies are focused on introducing novel PC and console-based games in VR format, in order to provide an immersive and enhanced experience to end users. For instance, in August 2019, VRGO Ltd., a U.K.-based VR company, introduced VRGO MINI, a gaming chain accessory for users to enjoy intuitive and comfortable seated movement. Therefore, such factors are expected to drive growth of the virtual reality in gaming market during the forecast period. Moreover, increasing disposable income is expected to propel the virtual reality in gaming market growth over the forecast period. According to the World Bank, in 2018, national income per capita was US$ 9,290, which increased from US$ 7,627 in 2008. Market Restraint Lack of awareness regarding the technology since it is the nascent stage, as well as compati

The emerging discipline of Hospitals Management Performance Assessments Over the past few years, Hospitals Management Performance Assessments have begun to gain acceptability and credence in healthcare circles. Hospitals Management Performance Assessments came into being as a result of a conscious effort by advanced countries, mainly European, with sufficient backing from the World Health Organization (WHO) to arrive at some sort of metrics to evaluate the critical functioning levels of hospitals. The topic of Hospitals Management Performance Assessments came to acquire proper shape and structure following the heavy reference the WHO made to this discipline at the WHO European Ministerial Conference on Health Systems of June 2008. The following year, it found resonance again, when it was the theme of the World Health Day. The evaluation of Hospitals Management Performance Assessments Hospitals Management Performance Assessments started to evolve primarily to provide healthcare professionals with a tool to diagnose the quality of performance of the hospitals and other healthcare settings they work in. It was felt, over time and experience, that when strict appraisals were being made in many areas of healthcare, a set of parameters to assess the level of efficiency of hospitals would go a long way in ensuring the implementation of enhanced processes, leading to better patient outcomes. Areas of concentration for Hospitals Management Performance Assessments The core disciplines in which Hospitals Management Performance Assessments sought to bring about measurable and verifiable improvements were: The PATH approach As a result of discussions and deliberations the WHO held with many countries, primarily European, a path for charting out the course of Hospitals Management Performance Assessments was concretized in the form of what the WHO called the PATH - the Performance Assessment Tool for Quality Improvement in Hospitals. A brief understanding of PATH PATH

Corona indeed has been the highest scorer for the number of lives claimed in the year 2020. Wherein coronavirus has grabbed all the attention in the medical fraternity across the world, Have you ever imagined, what are the other life-threatening diseases in the country, that has outperformed any other country(measured by population) in controlling the spread of coronavirus? When Covid-19 has caused an alarming situation in the world, and now that all of us are even more aware of our health, fitness, and lifestyles, Let's look at the other big killers in our country like Heart Diseases, Diabetes Mellitus, Road Injury/Accidents, etc.

A hearing protection device, more commonly known as an HPD, is an ear protective device worn on or behind the ears to help avoid noise-induced hearing impairment, especially noise caused by construction, aircraft, machinery, and some home appliances. An HPD works by reducing background noise and blocking out high-frequency noise that's typically emitted from machinery, or other loud noises. An HPD usually blocks out more than 90 percent of the noise in a room, and often can't be bought by most people because they are typically a bit bulky, which makes them more expensive than traditional earplugs. One of the most common reasons why an HPD is recommended for workers exposed to noise above 200 hertz is because they protect the worker's ears by reducing the amount of time that they're exposed to damaging radiation. Most workers who wear hearing protection devices are not exposed to as much noise as they would be with no protection, so they tend to retain more of their hearing after extended exposure to loud sounds. This keeps them healthier overall and prevents the onset of hearing loss that normally occurs after long-term exposure to high levels of noise. The main factor driving the growth of the hearing protection devices market is stringent rules made by governmental bodies all over the world for workers' safety. Increased hours of working in factories with heavy machinery emitting sounds can result in temporary or permanent deafness. Keeping in mind this issue, rules have been made for factory workers across the world to wear safety devices such as hearing protection devices to work.

Stomach cancer is a growth of abnormal tissues that form a tumor in the part of your abdomen. Symptoms of stomach cancer often include persistent abdominal pain, extreme heartburn, extreme vomiting, severe indigestion, abdominal swelling, and frequent diarrhea. These symptoms are common for all forms of stomach cancer but when cancer spreads to the upper part of the chest, the symptoms become far more severe and may eventually cause death. Stomach cancer has the highest survival rate of any type of cancer in the world. Crocetin (trade name Eulexin) is the first Stomach Cancer Drug that is used in the treatment of gastric cancer. It was later on approved for treating peritoneal mesothelioma but was not marketed extensively due to its negative outcomes at the beginning. The increasing prevalence of stomach cancer is expected to drive growth of the global stomach cancer drugs market during the forecast period. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), in 2020, around 27,600 new cases of stomach cancer are expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. According to the World Cancer Research Fund, in 2018, over 1 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed across the globe.

An N95 mask is a commonly-used, shortened name for N95 respirators, which is actually a particulate-filter respirator that meting the U.S. national institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) standards. Respirators are designed to protect you from inhaling harmful dust particles and fumes. But when it comes to choosing a respirator for use in the home or on the job, there are certain features you need to look for. The first and most important feature to look for is that it is safe for you to wear. Respirators are generally divided into two types. The first is the full-face respirator, while the other type is the full-body respirators. While there are some differences between these two types of respirators, both have the same main functions. High prevalence of infectious diseases is expected to propel growth of the global N95 grade medical protective masks market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, in 2018, India reported around 2.69 million cases of tuberculosis. Emergence of Covid-19 is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global N95 grade medical protective masks market. For instance, globally, as of 3:33pm CET, 17 November 2020, there have been 54,771,888 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 1,324,249 deaths, reported to the World Health Organization.

Biostimulants are natural or synthetic substances that aid in reducing the dependency on fertilizers. These substances are applied to seeds, plants, and soil in order to increase plant growth, resistance to water and abiotic stresses. Increasing global population has led to focus on boosting crop yield. According to projections by Population Reference Bureau (PRB) included in the 2018 World Population Data Sheet, the world population is expected to reach 9.9 billion by 2050, up 2.3 billion or 29% from an estimated 7.6 billion people in 2018. Moreover, according to according to Food and Agriculture Organization, worldwide food demand is expected to increase by 70% by 2050. Decrease in arable land in various regions has led to has led to various challenges in the agricultural sector. According to the study 'Will Limited Land, Water, and Energy Control Human Population Numbers in the Future', published in the journal Human Ecology, the amount of arable land available per person will decrease to 1500m² by 2050 from 4000m² in 1961. In July 2020, the government of India was expected to announce guidelines to regulate the biostimulants market in the country. Earlier, in July 2019, Europe witnessed several changes regarding definition and classification of these substances.

What is Corporate Governance? In a broad sense, corporate governance can be defined as a set of processes by which corporations are run and administered. These are a collective function of the critical, core decision makers in the organization, such as Directors, CEO, managers, investors, stakeholders, shareholders, creditors, auditors and others. Corporate Governance sets out the methods and rules for making rules that govern corporate entities. Although business is the main concern and task of an organization, Corporate Governance occupies as important a position, because while the financial aspect of a business is all about profits, the Corporate Governance aspect is primarily about its integrity, values and reputation. Corporate Governance takes into consideration all aspects of the governance of the organization from critical standpoints such as ethics, regulatory aspects, policies and mission, etc. History of the growth of Corporate Governance Although Corporate Governance has been around for a number of decades in some or another form, it came to acquire proper shape and direction of late, following the collapse of very big multinationals such as Enron, WorldCom and others. It was felt that their shady dealings, which led to huge losses for their stakeholders and eventually to the businesses collapse, could have been averted if a proper regulatory framework of Corporate Governance were in place. This is the feeling that led to the passing of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, or SOX in the early 2000's. One of the core principles enunciated in SOX related to Corporate Governance. Elements of Corporate Governance As a result of the SOX Act and other legislations in other developed countries, such as the Cadbury Report of the UK and other legislations in the OECD nations; Corporate Governance is now administered through a well-defined set of principles. As a result of these legislations, Corporate Governance is now concerned with the following: Problems areas of Co

Overview: Discussions, presentation, and webinars regarding HIPAA regulations are usually addressed from the perspective of what the regulations entail, the necessity of compliance with the regulations, and the consequences of willful neglect or non-compliance. This presentation addresses HIPAA regulations from a different perspective - from a personal perspective - from the perspective of the person in charge of moving an organization or facility toward full compliance with HIPAA. The by-product of this presentation will be both an understanding of, and a detailed job description for, a position mandated in the regulations - the HIPAA Security/Privacy Officer. Why should you attend: The HIPAA regulations are numerous, complicated, often vague, and affect every person working in a healthcare facility. Compliance with HIPAA will require a unique individual to lead the charge - an individual whose education, background, experience, and demonstrated skill sets offer the opportunity for that person to succeed in achieving the goals of that position. This is a new position to most healthcare facilities. So understanding who this person should be, what is required of the person with this job title, and with whom this person will interface is vital to every healthcare organization with the goal of achieving full compliance with HIPAA. Areas Covered in the Session: Position goals Position requirements (education, experience, skill sets, etc.) Position responsibilities Stay abreast of regulations Initiate compliance with HIPAA (according to regulations) Ensure continuous progress toward full compliance Develop appropriate security/privacy policies & procedures Oversee and deliver appropriate training programs to all employees Track compliance with HIPAA regulations at the facility & individual levels Track access to PHI Investigate and resolve HIPAA violations Apply sanctions to HIPAA violators Manage any information security personnel Prepare a department

Food Safety and Security are two faces of the coin : Food safety and security are two different, but closely related concepts. Although part of the same aspect, they vary in their application and meaning. Both are equally important in ensuring that populations of the world get food that is sufficient and nutritious. Food safety and security are complete without each other. Food safety complements food security, and vice versa. Food safety : Food safety is essentially about the safety of the ingredients that go into food. If food is being sourced from a farm, the food makers have to ensure that the farm has ensured safety standards in producing this food. Food safety is concerned about the amount of chemicals and fertilizers used in production of food. It is also concerned with how much residual pesticide, which could cause harm to humans when the food that is grown using it, is left in the final product, and so on. Food safety is related to and is dependent on factors such as demographics, inputs that go into the cultivation and production of food, availability of water for production of safe food, the use of energy sources in the safe production of food, climate change, etc. Now, food security : Food security, on the other hand, is about more about the food supply chain. When food arrives from the producer to the consumer, it goes through a complex chain that can many times span entire continents. Food may also be sourced and consumed locally. In either case, there is a need to ensure that the points that food travels in and reaches are secure. Ensuring quality throughout : The aim of food security is to ensure that food which travels through many chains and stages should be clean at all these stages. This means that security has to be ensured from rodents and other forms of disturbances at the agricultural fields in which food is produced, then at the granaries in which it is stored, at the routes that it travels, then at the location at which food is pr

Rationale for Clinical Trial Regulations Clinical trials, as we all know, are carried out to test the efficacy of a new drug or device being developed for a specific condition or disease. Clinical trials are experiments that have a high degree of risk if they are not properly implemented. For this reason, it is necessary for regulatory bodies to regulate clinical trials. The core rationale for regulating the various stages of clinical trials is that human subjects, who are part of the research, have to be protected. These clinical trial regulations are legislated at all stages: local, State, national and international. Clinical trial regulations are in force in different countries of the world. Common clinical trial regulations are also made globally by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), which has the mandate of setting out good practices for clinical trial regulations for trials done in global cooperation. These regulations cover the administrative, procedural and ethical aspects of clinical trials. Briefly, these are the areas in which there are clinical trial regulations for each of these aspects of clinical trials: Administrative: The administrative aspects of clinical trial regulations pertain to the way the clinical trials are run, and the way they are tracked and monitored throughout their lifecycle. A clinical trial is usually monitored by a sponsoring company or a Contract Research Organization (CRO), which the former hires at times for reasons of convenience and cost cutting. Clinical trial regulations in this area is obviously of importance because if something goes wrong at any administrative stage; these can be rectified. Procedural: Procedural aspects of clinical trial regulations relate to ways by which subjects are chosen for a clinical trial. Proper care has to be taken to ensure that the subjects are appropriate for the clinical study, are from the prescribed age, geographical, demographic, racial and gender-related cl

Overview: One of the major requirements of the health care organization to be HIPAA compliant is to develop and implement a set of HIPAA privacy and security policies and procedures. This can be a daunting task for those not knowing where to start and what a set of HIPAA privacy and security policies and procedures should look like. For the cost conscious health care organization, the HIPAA policies and procedures can have multiple uses: first, they can become a basis for training the health care organization workforce; second, they can be used as a basis for conducting a HIPAA self-assessment; and third, they can be used to demonstrate due diligence should there be a breach or an externalHIPAA compliance audit. In today's world it is not necessary that the health care organization spend significant funds to develop a set of HIPAA privacy and security policies and procedures from scratch. The health care organization can likely find templates on the internet that can be used as a starting point to customize HIPAA policies and procedures to be unique for the health care organization. The preparation of a well-documented set of HIPAA policies and procedures needs to be addressed through the development of Privacy and Security policies and procedures that address each of the requirements shown in the HIPAA regulations as amended by the HITECH law and the final Omnibus Regulations. The process of developing the HIPAA privacy and security policies and procedures also provides a reference for the health care organization how to consider the security addressable and required regulation requirements. Why should you attend: There are three situations where having a set of HIPAA policies and procedures are needed: First, the policies and procedures become a good reference to ensure that all areas are addressed for becoming HIPAA compliant. Second, the HIPAA regulations REQUIRE covered entities and business associates to have a set of policies and procedures directing

Workplace Safety Regulations : Workplace safety is a matter of grave importance to any organization. Ensuring the safety of workers is a primary goal of most countries, no matter which kind of political system or setup they have. This is because almost no workplace is free from some or another kind of hazard. These workplaces could be as varied as hospitals, construction sites, engineering plants or agriculture and many more. Governments the world over consider it their duty to provide a safe workplace. Workplace safety can concern any hazard that can happen to either the physical or emotional wellbeing of a worker. National and global workplace safety regulations : Workplace safety regulations are legally stipulated measures that governments require organizations in both the private and public sector to implement in order to ensure safety at the workplace. Almost all countries have their own set of workplace safety regulations. These regulations work in tandem with a few global management systems with the aim of enhancing safety standards at the workplace. A notable global organization that is at the forefront of legislating workplace safety regulations is the International Labor Organization (ILO). These ILO-mandated legislations are meant to supplement the national workplace safety regulations that most countries have. This is done in the belief that many a time, these individual legislations may not be sufficient in themselves. Workplace safety regulations in the US : Like most other countries, the US too has its own set of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) standards. Owing their origins to the Richard Nixon era in late 1970; workplace safety regulations in the US concretized under what is collectively called the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The major feature of OSHA is that apart from promulgating workplace safety regulations across nearly all conceivable sectors and types of industries; OSHA also has a provision for whistleblow
