Healthcare Rehabilitation is a vast field - 0 views

  •  
    Healthcare Rehabilitation is a vast field: The field of healthcare rehabilitation is very vast and expansive. In traditional societies, most commonly relatable to the Orient and Africa, there is the ages-old cultural belief that it is the duty of children to take care of their parents when they age. On the contrary, for us in the west, healthcare rehabilitation has emerged as a specialized branch of healthcare because of the emphasis our society places on independence of the individual. Healthcare rehabilitation is a product of social mores: Younger generations of people are not expected to spend entire years, as may be the case in some families, to look after people of their previous generations who may be in need of medical care. It is on this outlook towards life of our society that healthcare rehabilitation has come into being. However, it is also possible that younger people could also be in need of healthcare rehabilitation. Even such people are put in the care of healthcare providers which offer these services. The divisions of healthcare rehabilitation: Branching out as a fully developed field of healthcare, healthcare rehabilitation has many specializations. These are broadly the areas in which healthcare rehabilitation is offered: General rehabilitation: General rehabilitation of some or another kind is a primary aspect of healthcare rehabilitation. Those in need of this kind of care typically include patients who have lost their ability to carry out day-to-day tasks such as talking, walking, brushing, eating, etc. many a time, depending on the nature of the ailment, rehabilitation could include therapies, exercises and other activities aimed at bringing in some element of mobility in the patient. This kind of healthcare rehabilitation could also include taking care to revive the patient's memory, when patients with diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's are admitted for healthcare rehabilitation.

Medical Staff Bylaws Requirements For Joint Commission Accreditation - 0 views

  •  
    Overview: Joint Commission standards set a high bar for hospital medical staff bylaws.

Medical Necessity: A Term in Search of Definition - 0 views

  •  
    Overview: The idea of providing health care treatments and insurance coverage according to "medical necessity" determinations seems eminently reasonable. Its obvious ethical thrust is to discourage unnecessary, wasteful or fraudulent practices. As practically implemented, however, "medical necessity" regulations and determinations have proven remarkably controversial and elusive. First of all, the language connected with medical necessity is inherently vague. Language to the effect that a treatment is medically necessary if it is "likely to achieve a significant practical improvement," is "realistic," or "reasonable" will predictably cause disputes between payors and providers of care. Second, the persistence of these disputes calls into question whether evidence based practices have evolved to a point where they are all that reliable and useful. Third, medical necessity determinations incur problems as to who should ultimately make them: payors, health providers or the courts. Obviously, whoever controls the definition of medical necessity controls the flow of health care dollars. While ethical theory can offer important insights about our moral obligations, it remains unable to reliably translate its theoretical principles and rules bearing on harms, benefits and justice into informing medical necessity determinations. Thus, resolving disputes over medical necessity have taken a procedural approach that looks to the interpretation of contractual language in insurance policies, often at the bench of an administrative law judge. This presentation will advance a reasonable set of strategies whereby a convincing case can be made for certain care interventions qualifying as "reasonable and necessary." Why should you Attend: Despite their central importance as a locus for determining reimbursement, "medical necessity" regulations and determinations have proven remarkably controversial and vexing for at least the last 20 years. Yet, whoever controls the definition

Seminar on Supplier Management for Medical Device Manufacturers at Washington, DC - 0 views

  •  
    Course "Supplier Management for Medical Device Manufacturers" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion. Overview: Supplier selection and management is one of the critical issues for medical device manufacturers. Suppliers provide materials and services to the device manufacturer, which means that they can be critical to performance and delivery of your device. Neither the FDA nor your notified body regulates your suppliers (with a few exceptions). They expect you to have an effective process to ensure your suppliers perform in the regulatory environment. How well do you understand the requirements for supplier management? Could you pass a regulatory audit or inspection without any issues? This course delivers the tools, templates, and methods to help participants implement an effective and efficient supplier management program. This two-day hands-on course provides a clear understanding of the underlying principles of supplier management. The course uses exercises to solidify understanding. In addition, the course uses FDA Warning Letters to illustrate the points and help you learn from others. As part of the practical implementation, the course includes receiving acceptance activities, outsourced processes, process validation at the suppliers' location, supplier auditing techniques, and supplier issues in management review. The course uses the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) framework, but expands it to cover other issues and techniques important in effective implementation. Why should you attend: Since FDA regulations do not allow them to audit your suppliers unless they make finished medical devices, they require that you have sufficient control over them. But from time to time the FDA makes a reinterpretation of what this means. This happened within the last f 5 years, so if you supplier management program is older than that, you need to make major changes in you supp

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.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Therapeutics Market is Expanding Rapidly as AstraZeneca re... - 0 views

  •  
    Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a cancerous disease in which cancer cells begin to multiply in the lymph cells. CLL is aggressive cancer that invades the lymphatic system and attacks healthy cells of the immune system. It typically affects the lymph nodes and T cells, although it can also affect any other cells in the human body. The combination of chemotherapy is aimed at destroying cancer cells while at the same time allowing the body's immune system to restore the damaged cells. This allows for a more rapid response to the infection and better overall outcomes. As a result of this combination, chemotherapy is often used to treat several types of cancer at one time. It has been very successful in achieving results against most types of cancer. The targeted drugs are given to make the cancer cells unable to multiply and thus stop their growth. Increasing prevalence of leukemia is expected to drive growth of the global chronic lymphocytic leukemia therapeutics market during the forecast period. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukemia in adults aged 19 years and above with 37% of cases. According to the same source, around 21,040 new cases and 4,060 deaths are expected to occur in 2020 due to CLL in the U.S. Furthermore, according to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLC), in 2020, around 60,530 people are expected to be diagnosed with leukemia in the U.S. Such a high prevalence of CLL and leukemia has increased the demand for necessary therapeutics such as chemotherapy.

Implementation of Regulatory Aspects of Clinical Research is critical - 0 views

  •  
    Implementation of Regulatory Aspects of Clinical Research is critical One of the prime areas of clinical studies is regulatory aspects of clinical research. This applies in almost equal measure to medical research as a whole. The FDA and other regulatory bodies have spelt out a number of regulations that have to be complied with if the clinical research is to be approved. These regulatory requirements cover all aspects of clinical research. A look at some of these regulatory aspects would be instructive: FDA requirements on regulatory aspects of clinical research The FDA has an exhaustive list of regulations relating to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), the area which forms the backbone of regulatory aspects of clinical research. The FDA has a series of regulations that are aimed at bringing in discipline and process into clinical research. It implements all the laws relating to GCP passed by the American Congress. At present, there are a huge number of regulatory standards and requirements that have to be complied with by those undertaking clinical research in the US. These regulations are codified in the 21 CFR series. Notable sections of the 21 CFR series relating to regulatory aspects of clinical research include: 21 CFR Part 11 21 CFR Part 16 21 CFR Part 50 21 CFR Parts 50 and 56 21 CFR Part 54 21 CFR Part 58 21 CFR Part 312 21 CFR 312.120 21 CFR Part 314 21 CFR Part 320 21 CFR Part 511 21 CFR Part 514 21 CFR Part 601 21 CFR Part 812 21 CFR Part 814 EU requirements on regulatory aspects of clinical research In the EU, the core aspect of regulatory aspects of clinical research relates to the primary importance given to the subjects in a clinical research. For example, regulatory aspects of clinical research France are guided by the Public Health Code and Civil Code. This Code contains a list of regulatory conditions clinicians are obliged to adhere to. These regulations are to be monitored by a number of regulation enforcement bodies that the French governm

Depression: Overview, Symptoms and Treatment - 0 views

  •  
    What is Depression? Every individual experiences feelings of worthlessness, sadness, and negativity. It is when these feelings spiral out of control and consume the individual to an extent that his/her normal life is disrupted, that depression arises. Depression is a serious medical condition and can significantly weaken the individual both physically and mentally. What are the causes and risk factors of depression? In medical terms, depression is due to a decreased amount of certain chemicals in the brain. Depression has a genetic basis, i.e. depression may run in family. It can also be triggered by an event such as the loss of a loved one, losing a job, etc. There are some hormonal problems like decreased thyroid levels that can also lead to depression. Depression can also follow after the diagnosis of a serious illness and leads to impaired treatment of the disease. It is accompanied by the feeling of not getting well and hence ignoring the medication and the other activities that have been advised by the doctor. Risk factors Traumatic past, abuse, neglect Loss of a loved one Serious medical conditions like Parkinson's disease, etc. Also Read: How to Prevent Depression in Elderly What are the symptoms of depression?

Platelet Rich Plasma Market is Witness Massive Surge as U.S.-based Industry Leader Gene... - 0 views

  •  
    Platelet-rich plasma is a coagulated blood-rich polymer, made from extracted platelets. Extracted platelets are normally coagulated by monocytes or lymphocytes with fibrin. Platelets are also commonly injected into the body's bloodstream to support tissue healing following tissue surgery. Platelet-rich plasma has been found effective against bleeding disorders. It also helps reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with high blood pressure and in those taking anticoagulants. It may also reduce the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE), which is blood clots that enter the lungs and pulmonary system. In the chest, the clot can stop or limit the flow of blood to the heart. PE often leads to cardiac arrest and death. Increasing cosmetic surgeries is expected to drive growth of the global platelet rich plasma market during the forecast period. Cosmetic surgeries refer to surgical specialty involving the restoration, alteration, or reconstruction of the human body. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), in 2018, around 128,398 cosmetic procedures in Thailand and 1,036,618 procedures in Mexico were carried out. Hence, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global platelet rich plasma market during the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing prevalence of cosmetic surgeries is expected to boost the global platelet rich plasma market growth over the forecast period.

Animal depression medication market Continues to Accelerate Rapidly as Indian Pharmaceu... - 0 views

  •  
    Animal depression medications are usually only prescribed for depressed behavior in animals and are usually used as a stand-alone or second-line therapy, depending upon the degree of the condition. When treating depression in humans, it is most often treated with proper prescription medications, behavioral therapy, or counseling. The other classification of animal depression refers to biological causes like genetic defects and imbalances in the brain that result in depressive disorder in animals. As of now, only a few of these causes are known such as thyroid, immune system, endocrine, neurological disorders among others.
