Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential guide by one of America's leading doctors to how digital technology enables all of us to take charge of our health A trip to the doctor is almost a guarantee of misery. You'll make an appointment months in advance. You'll probably wait for several hours until you hear "the doctor will see you now"-but only for fifteen minutes! Then you'll wait even longer for lab tests, the results of which you'll likely never see, unless they indicate further (and more invasive) tests, most of which will probably prove unnecessary (much like physicals themselves). And your bill will be astronomical. In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the nation's top physicians, shows why medicine does not have to be that way. Instead, you could use your smartphone to get rapid test results from one drop of blood, monitor your vital signs both day and night, and use an artificially intelligent algorithm to receive a diagnosis without having to see a doctor, all at a small fraction of the cost imposed by our modern healthcare system. The change is powered by what Topol calls medicine's "Gutenberg moment." Much as the printing press took learning out of the hands of a priestly class, the mobile internet is doing the same for medicine, giving us unprecedented control over our healthcare. With smartphones in hand, we are no longer beholden to an impersonal and paternalistic system in which "doctor knows best." Medicine has been digitized, Topol argues; now it will be democratized. Computers will replace physicians for many diagnostic tasks, citizen science will give rise to citizen medicine, and enormous data sets will give us new means to attack conditions that have long been incurable. Massive, open, online medicine, where diagnostics are done by Facebook-like comparisons of medical profiles, will enable real-time, real-world research on massive populations. There's no doubt the path forward will be complicated: the medical establishment will resist these changes, and digitized medicine inevitably raises serious issues surrounding privacy. Nevertheless, the result-better, cheaper, and more human health care-will be worth it. Provocative and engrossing, The Patient Will See You Now is essential reading for anyone who thinks they deserve better health care. That is, for all of us.

Download or read book Prise en charge pharmaceutique des patients canc reux written by Brigitte Bonan and published by John Libbey Eurotext. This book was released on 2008 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les liens entre pharmaciens et médecins, hospitaliers ou libéraux, doivent se renforcer afin d'optimiser la prise en charge des patients cancéreux, réalisée largement "en dehors des murs de l'hôpital". Il est en effet nécessaire de construire l'interface ville-hôpital et de mobiliser et former les acteurs de "ville". Le progrès majeur porté par le Plan cancer a été de placer réellement le patient au coeur du dispositif et d'articuler les différentes actions en matière d'accès aux traitements et de prise en charge autour des trois principes fondamentaux: l'information du patient et son libre choix, la qualité et la sécurité des soins, une prise en charge pluridisciplinaire globale et continue. Après avoir précisé les rôles des pharmaciens hospitaliers et officinaux dans la prise en charge des patients atteints de cancer, l'ouvrage présente la sécurisation du circuit des chimiothérapies au sein des établissements hospitaliers ainsi qu'à travers l'hospitalisation à domicile. Puis, l'exemple d'un réseau régional de cancérologie est analysé avec sa mise en place, son organisation et la définition de ses missions. Les rôles et implications attendus des pharmaciens hospitaliers et officinaux dans ces réseaux ville-hôpital indiquent la nécessité d'une collaboration étroite. Les auteurs insistent enfin sur la spécificité des traitements antitumoraux par voie orale ainsi que sur les soins de support en oncologie, qui nécessitent un accompagnement et une compétence pharmaceutiques auprès des patients afin d'assurer une continuité de la qualité de leur prise en charge. Cet ouvrage, coordonné par Brigitte Bonan pharmacienne à l'hôpital européen Georges Pompidou de Paris, s'adresse à l'ensemble des pharmaciens officinaux et hospitaliers, mais aussi aux responsables des réseaux de cancérologie ou de structures d'hospitalisation à domicile.
Download or read book R le du pharmacien d officine dans la prise en charge des escarres written by Clémence Barrere and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce manuscrit se focalise sur le rôle du pharmacien d'officine dans la prise en charge des escarres. Il aborde l'importance des escarres comme enjeu de santé publique, particulièrement chez les personnes âgées et alitées. La thèse explique la physiopathologie des escarres, identifie les facteurs de risque, et discute de l'impact significatif de cette pathologie sur la qualité de vie des patients ainsi que sur le système de soins. L'approche préventive, qui est essentielle pour limiter la survenue des escarres, est détaillée en présentant les méthodes d'évaluation des risques, de surveillance de l'évolution des escarres, et les bonnes pratiques en matière de soins et d'utilisation des supports appropriés. La thèse souligne le rôle crucial du pharmacien dans l'éducation thérapeutique des patients et de leur entourage, la délivrance de matériel médical, et le choix des pansements adaptés. Elle explore également les divers traitements disponibles en fonction des différents stades de l'escarre, mettant en avant les pansements et autres dispositifs médicaux disponibles. En parallèle, elle argumente les aspects économiques liés à la prise en charge des escarres, soulignant l'importance de la prévention pour réduire les coûts. Cette thèse sert de guide pour les pharmaciens, enrichissant leur rôle consultatif et thérapeutique dans la gestion des escarres, un aspect souvent sous-estimé de leur profession en milieu communautaire.
Download or read book Pharmacie clinique l officine written by Françoise Brion and published by MALOINE. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’ordonnance du 16 décembre 2016 reconnaît la pharmacie clinique comme une mission essentielle des pharmaciens de pharmacie à usage intérieur (PUI). Simultanément, la Haute autorité de santé a publié un guide sur le bilan de médication en entrée et sortie d’hôpital, permettant d’assurer la continuité pharmaceutique et le lien ville-hôpital donc impliquant une identité d’exercice en PUI et en officine. Cet ouvrage est le premier à traiter de la place de la pharmacie clinique à l’officine. Il doit constituer une référence et un outil de travail pour le pharmacien officinal mais aussi, pour tout étudiant choisissant cette filière. La rédaction de chaque chapitre a été confiée à des bi/trinôme voire plus : pharmaciens hospitalo-universitaires, pharmaciens officinaux, autres acteurs expérimentés. Les différents chapitres sont traités de façon pratique, avec un encart systématique sur « l’essentiel à retenir ». L’ouvrage se décline en trois parties. La première concerne le contexte de la relation patient/pharmacien : le parcours de santé, l’assurance qualité à l’officine, la sécurité du patient, le dossier pharmaceutique, les bases de données, l’interprétation des informations et la médico-économie. La deuxième s’intéresse à l’exercice de la pharmacie clinique à l’officine selon les trois volets suivants : 1° la stratégie thérapeutique, les premiers soins et le conseil à l’officine ; 2° l’optimisation du traitement portant sur les posologies, les plans et voies d’administration, la prévention de l’iatropathologie et des effets indésirables ; 3° le suivi du patient avec en particulier, le rôle des pharmaciens dans le bilan de médication et le lien ville-hôpital, les entretiens pharmaceutiques et l’éducation thérapeutique. Enfin, la troisième partie aborde le rôle du pharmacien hospitalier et d’officine dans le suivi des patients en oncologie et notamment les soins de support, l’objectif 17 du Plan Cancer 2014-2019 préconise en effet d’adapter les organisations à l’essor des chimiothérapies orales. Un chapitre est consacré à la vaccination, compte tenu du décret n° 2017-985 du 10 mai 2017 relatif à l’expérimentation de l’administration par les pharmaciens du vaccin contre la grippe saisonnière, et de l’extension transitoire de l’obligation vaccinale pour 11 vaccins. Deux autres chapitres sont respectivement dédiés aux dispositifs médicaux et aux pansements essentiels à connaître pour l’aide aux patients hospitalisés à domicile. La pharmacie clinique installe chaque jour davantage le pharmacien au sein des professionnels de santé. La profession ne doit pas manquer ce virage.
