Book ACoRN  Acute Care of at Risk Newborns

Download or read book ACoRN Acute Care of at Risk Newborns written by Jill E. Boulton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Acute Care of at-Risk Newborns (ACoRN) program trains health care providers to stabilize that most challenging and enigmatic of medical patients: the unwell newborn. Early assessment, intervention, and management of at-risk or unstable infants can be critical for their survival and long-term health. Clinical care standards and educational programs to address these requirements are needed. ­The ACoRN program provides a unique, prioritized, and systematic approach to newborn stabilization for health care professionals with any degree of experience. ACoRN-trained providers learn to gather information, prioritize, intervene appropriately, and deliver high-quality care to at-risk and unwell newborns in any setting. Because research and practice have advanced dramatically in recent years, the need for a new ACoRN text, the program's centrepiece, became essential. Hence the development of this new edition, which reflects current guidelines and evidence-based best practices. ACoRN teaches the concepts and skills required to stabilize unwell newborns through system-based algorithms ('Sequences'), each with its own chapter: - Respiratory - Fluid and Glucose - Cardiovascular - Jaundice - Neurology - Thermoregulation - Surgical Conditions - Infection Each chapter includes educational objectives, key concepts, learning points, and at least one case scenario with questions and answers to reinforce content and learnings. Chapters describing newborn transition, the ACoRN process, supportive care, and safe transport round out the systems-based core. This book is written for any health professional who may be required to participate in the stabilization of sick or preterm babies within their scope of practice.

Book The Science and Practice of SNOMED CT Implementation

Download or read book The Science and Practice of SNOMED CT Implementation written by Dennis H. Lee and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall research question of this PhD research was: "How can the clinical value of the Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) be demonstrated in the primary health care setting to enhance patient care?" The position taken in this research is that there is clinical value in using SNOMED CT. To inform the current state of knowledge, a literature review of SNOMED CT papers catalogued by PubMed and Embase between 2001 and 2012 was carried out, and interviews were conducted with 14 individuals from 13 health care organisations across eight countries. The results showed there was a lack of understanding of how to craft post-coordinated expressions, how to fully utilise the semantics of SNOMED CT in data retrieval, and a lack of evidence on how SNOMED CT added value. A proposed SNOMED CT Clinical Value Framework that organised the primary and secondary uses of SNOMED CT was created and a SNOMED CT design methodology was formalised that consisted of three components to aid in auditing, encoding and retrieval through a primary health care study. In this PhD research, the potential clinical value of SNOMED CT was demonstrated by improving the completeness of clinical records and facilitating decision support features such as alerting clinicians to potential drug-allergy interactions, and reminding clinicians to order routine tests. The realisation of the potential clinical value was based upon the accurate and unambiguous manner in which clinical terms were encoded using the encoding method, the efficient and effective retrieval of relevant concepts using the retrieval method, and to a lesser extent, the ensuring that the concepts used were consistent using the auditing method.

Download or read book Medinfo written by Marius Fieschi and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 998 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental challenge for medical informatics is to develop and apply better ways of understanding how information technologies and methods can help support the best care for every patient every day given available medical knowledge and resources. In order to provide the most effective healthcare possible, the activities of teams of health professionals have to be coordinated through well-designed processes centered on the needs of patients. For information systems to be accepted and used in such an environment, they must balance standardization based on shared medical knowledge with the flexibility required for customization to the individual patient. Developing innovative approaches to design and build evidence-based careflow management systems is essential for providing the knowledge management infrastructure of health care organizations that seeks to increase performance in delivering high quality care services by efficiently exploiting available resources. Parallel challenges arise in the organization of research at the biological and clinical levels, where the focus on systematically organizing and supporting processes of scientific inquiry by novel informatics methods and databases are in their very early stages. These Proceedings of Medinfo 2004 demonstrate the base of knowledge medical informatics professionals will collectively draw upon in the years ahead to meet these challenges and realize opportunities.
