Medical Aesthetics Market Continues to Grow Owing to the Rising Demand for Surgical Pro... - 0 views

  •  
    Medical aesthetics is a fairly broad field that covers several different, often overlapping sub-specialties. These include endocrinology, gynecology, pathology, radiology, gastroenterology, health care, obstetrics/maternity, orthopedics, pediatrics, physiology, psychology, statistics, and pharmacology. The field of medical aesthetics is increasingly expanding due to increasing numbers of people who have an interest in looking better and feeling better about their appearance. This interest has resulted in an expansion of the field into several subspecialties, which are described below. One of the top five surgical aesthetic procedures is liposuction. Liposuction is a procedure used to remove pockets of fat from different parts of the body to improve facial features, such as an extra small smile, sagging skin around the eyes or lips, or fat deposits in the neck or waist. Other liposuction procedures include using liposuction to change the size and shape of tattoos, removing skin tags, wart formation on the face, flattening abdominal fat, reshaping the breasts after pregnancy, removing wrinkles, and improving the skin texture around the mouth, chin, and neck. Other surgical aesthetic procedures include laser lipolysis, adjustable gastric banding, lipoplasty, blepharoplasty, neck lift, chin and jowl reduction, laser facial resurfacing, and Botox injections. The main factor influencing the medical aesthetics market is the growing surgical procedures worldwide for advanced personal appearance. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 130,000 facelifts are performed in the U.S. and the numbers are increasing annually. According to Cosmetic Surgery Solicitors, the U.S. and Brazil accounted for more than 28.4% of cosmetic producers in the world in 2018. The top five surgical procedures that are done across the globe are ear surgery, fat grafting, rhinoplasty, gyne

Patient Lateral Transfer Devices gaining rapid adoption in the healthcare industry - 0 views

  •  
    Patient Lateral Transfer Devices (PLDs) have been a mainstay of patient care in the healthcare industry. In this new age of technology, devices are quickly replacing traditional medical procedures. These devices are changing the way we do things and the way we move from one location to another. The introduction of PLDs has brought along with the changes and advancements in how we transfer our patients from one floor of a hospital to another. As this transition continues to happen, more changes will come forth along with it. The number of people using and accessing these services has increased drastically and the number of people who use these services is expected to continue growing. It is projected that within the next two years, there will be a majority of individuals who use the services provided by patient lateral transfer devices to move from their beds to waiting areas of the hospital. Patient lateral transfer includes the clinical settings that involve transporting an injured or ill patient to a medical facility. It can also include transferring an individual from a medical facility to a hospital in another location for treatment. When the patient is moved, it could include transporting the patient to the operating room or to another treatment facility. These services are very popular and serve as a huge industry. There are several different reasons why individuals are enticed to become part of this segment.

Stomach Cancer Drugs Market Continues to Expand as South Korean Drug Manufacturer Cellt... - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Physician Employment Agreements: Items to Consider - 0 views

  •  
    Overview:   We will review the various elements of the physician employment agreement, focusing on the pitfalls and the problems that can develop when the agreement does not clearly define the relationship, and/or when the parties do not fully understand what is being agreed to. Such items as term and termination, termination for cause, duties of the physician, call, non-compete, and compensation are all items that should be clearly set out in the agreement and fully understood by the parties. Why should you attend: Formal written contracts establish the legal relationship between the parties; they state the terms and conditions of that relationship and the rights and obligations of each party. They confirm the intentions and relationships of the parties as they enter into this relationship, and they eliminate uncertainties regarding mutual rights, obligations, and relationships. If everything remained as it is at the time the agreement is signed, there would be little need for formal documents. However, the agreement serves to protect against future disputes. Therefore, it should include as precise language as possible. Ambiguous terms in agreements are of little effect when disputes occur over the meaning of a party's rights or obligations. You should attend to gain an understanding of what should and what should not be in a physician employment agreement. Areas Covered in the Session: Corporate practice of medicine Term and termination Termination for Cause Severance pay Provision allowing physician to terminate for cause Severance pay Duties of the physician Standards for the provision of professional services Referral to hospital Continuing medical education Who Will Benefit: Physicians Healthcare executives Physician practice managers Speaker Profile William Mack Copeland MS, JD, PhD, LFACHE, practices health care law in Cincinnati at the firm of Copeland Law, LLC.

Tougher Import Rules for FDA Imports in 2016- 2 day In person Seminar - 0 views

  •  
    Course "Tougher Import Rules for FDA Imports in 2016" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion. Overview: FDA's and the Customs and Border Patrol Service (CBP) have become increasingly sophisticated and equally demanding in the submission of information and adherence to government procedures. Firm's that fail to understand and properly execute an import and export program find that their shipment is delayed, detained or refused. In 2016 entries must use the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) entry filing system or face entry refusals and monetary penalties up to $10,000 per offense. A number of other factors can derail the expectation of a seamless import process. The course covers detailed information about the roles and responsibilities of the various parties with an import operation and how to correct the weakest link(s) in the commercial chain. The course will include tips on how to understand FDA's thinking and offer anecdotal examples of FDA's import program curiosities. Why should you attend: What happens when your product is detained? FDA will begin a legal process that can become an expensive business debacle. You must respond fully within short timeframes. This is not the time for you to be on a learning curve. You need to have a plan in place and know what you are doing. The FDA is steadily increasing the legal and prior notice information requirements. If you do not know what those requirements are and you initiate a shipment, your product is figuratively dead in the water. You must be accurate with the import coding information and understand the automated and human review process. If not, you can expect detained shipments. CBP is implemented a new "Automated Commercial Environment" computer program that changes import logistics and information reporting for FDA regulated products. Your shipment may be stopped before it is even loaded at the foreign port. What

The Roles And Responsibilities of a HIPAA Privacy & Security Officer - 0 views

  •  
    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

The emerging discipline of Hospitals Management Performance Assessments - 0 views

  •  
    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.

    Course "Effective and Efficient Internal and Supplier Quality System Auditing for Medical Devices" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion. Overview: Do you want to understand how to do efficient and effective internal and supplier audits that meet all the requirements of your external auditors, but also add value to your company? Are you confused by all the requirements and guidance documents for medical device quality management systems and are tired of wading through all the regulatory language they contain. This course is for those who will do internal or supplier audits, manage an audit process for these or other company audits. This course will provide you with an easy to understand presentation on the auditing process as well as the requirements you will need to audit under ISO 13485 and the FDA Quality System Regulation (cGMP) Both FDA Quality System Regulation (QSR) and ISO 13485 require that companies do internal audits. However, because the FDA does not look at the content of internal audits, some companies do not get feedback on the true effectiveness of their internal audit system from the FDA during FDA Inspections. ISO 13485 auditors do look at internal audits, but are most concerned that you define a process that meets the requirements of the standard and are following your process. Both require that you define Auditor training is required, but this sometimes just requires reading the company's procedure, although most external auditors will look for more than this. Do you need to train new auditors for yours medical device quality management system or to audit your suppliers? Or do you need to improve the training of your internal and supplier auditors so that they add value to these audits? If you need to do either of these, this seminar will provide this training.

How to Ensure a Successful Health Care Systems Implementation - 0 views

  •  
    Overview: The presentation takes the participant through the steps needed to ensure a successful health care computer system implementation. Once presented the participant will see the logic of the tools and processes and be able to apply them to their system implementation. The tools and processes presented in this material have been developed by implementing health care systems for over 40 years and seeing what has worked and WHY it has worked. These tools and processes have been equally and successfully applied to the implementation of large, complex systems and smaller, simpler systems for large, multidepartment organizations and for small health care organizations. The process focuses on establishing the project's implementation expectations, identifying meaningful metrics for success, establishing project plans, assigning individual accountabilities and responsibilities, establishing and executing project tasks, monitoring project progress and validating project success. To establish viable project expectations, the presentation addresses the need for bringing all of the stakeholders (organization owners, providers and management, operations staff, IT staff and the vendor) into establishing common and realizable expectations. These are reviewed in context of the organization's current environment and its short and long term goals and are considered as a critical part of the implementation completion process. In the case of turning around an already troubled or failed system implementation, the process emphasizes the tasks of reassessing the project stakeholder expectations - why they decided the system would help the organization and what they expected to get from the system. Next the process shows the participant how to convert these expectations to realistic and measurable project success metrics. The process focuses on learning how to separate "so what" metrics from meaningful and measurable metrics. In addition, the process provides direction regardin

Key Factors to Write an Effective Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and Work I... - 0 views

  •  
    Course "Key Factors to Write an Effective Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and Work Instructions (WIs)" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion. Overview: Writing SOPs or procedural documents can be challenging at times. However, writing SOPs is overall a straightforward process. However, enforcing what you already created and implemented in the pipeline is another story. The term SOP is very obvious. We have seen "clearly written description of how specific tasks are to be done." Another satisfactory definition would be "detailed written instructions that achieve the uniformity of the performance of a specific function." Is the firm doing what the regulations specify? Is the firm doing what their procedures specify? If you are medical device or a pharmaceutical manufacturer, these definitions come as no surprise because when it comes to FDA regulations and guidance documents "establish" means to define, to document (in writing or electronically) and to implement. The goal and emphasis with FDA is simple. Proof of "Establish" is the foundation. Is the firm doing what the regulations specify? Is the firm doing what their procedures specify? Are the procedures being followed and enforced by company personnel? SOPs are needed in regulated industries to give step-by-step instructions for performing a particular job or task. This session will provide a step-by-step overview and a snapshot of the procedure description, the process and format. The subject matter of a SOP may range from how to operate a piece of machinery to how to log into a particular software program. SOPs ensure consistency and reliability because they require training of all affected parties. This session will address recent enforcement actions for SOP related violations but no surprise. Most of our enforcement actions are documentation related, i.e., SOP or other procedural documents. We will review examples from
