Download or read book Medical Practice Variations written by Ana Johnson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title deals with internationally documented variations in medical practice and health service that exist across countries as well as regions across a specific country. Such variations raise critical concerns about the quality, equity and efficiency of health care resources across the world. Health services researchers have long been aware of large variations in the use of medical care across regions and medical providers. In the 1930s, the British pediatrician J.A. Glover observed that the rates of tonsillectomy in British schoolchildren varied widely, depending on the district where the students lived and the doctors who examined them. This volume provides a contextual landscape for the study of health care utilization through the lens of medical practice variations. It is grounded in the pioneering work by medical care epidemiologist, Dr. John Wennberg, who revealed wide variations in elective surgical rates across small areas in the U.S. and his findings that these variations were generally not explained by differences in population illness rates or patient preferences but rather, there were strong associations between supply of health care resources, such as hospital beds and physicians and health care utilization. This volume introduces the concept of medical practice variations and its early history, outlines established concepts and frameworks, with an overview of methods used to understand the variations in medical care . It makes the case for outcomes research in determining what works in health care and policy reforms to rationalize how care is delivered. Each chapter synthesizes the current published literature in the field and covers a description of medical practice variations in the area, determinants of these variations and outcomes. It outlines the most current research on specific types of utilization such as inpatient care, emergency services, elective surgery, primary care, obstetric and gynaec ological care, mental health care and end-of-life care, among others. Studies of variation in condition-specific care focus on common conditions such as acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, stroke, diabetes and procedures such as cancer surgery and joint replacement. Special topics include health care spending and quality, shared decision making and disparities.
Download or read book Virtual Geographic Environments written by Hui Lin and published by ESRI Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtual Geographic Environments, edited by Hui Lin and Michael Batty, collects key papers that define the current momentum in GIS and "virtual geographies." Contributions by leading members of the geospatial community to Virtual Geographic Environments illustrate the cutting edge of GIScience, as well as new applications of GIS with the processing and delivery of geographic information through the Web and handheld devices, forming two major directions to these developments. The four-part organization leads from a primer on VGEs to virtual cities and landscapes, interface design and public participation, and finally mobile and networked VGEs. Current topics, such as crowd sourcing and related services, point to the development of new business models that merge proprietary and nonproprietary systems.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contexte : La fièvre du nourrisson de plus de trois mois est un symptôme fréquent en médecine générale. Plusieurs études quantitatives ont évalué les connaissances et attitudes des parents face à un épisode fébrile. Il est intéressant de connaître les outils et méthodes d'éducation des parents par les médecins généralistes. Méthode : Etude qualitative par entretiens semi-dirigés auprès de médecins généralistes des régions lilloise et valenciennoise. L'analyse des données a été effectuée à l'aide d'un double codage ouvert et axial. Résultats : Seize médecins généralistes ont été interviewés permettant la saturation des données. Le déroulement de la consultation d'un nourrisson fébrile a été expliqué par les médecins, de l'interrogatoire aux prescriptions en passant par l'examen clinique. Les points abordés sont les mesures physiques et le traitement antipyrétique, les consignes de surveillance et les signes devant amener les parents à consulter. La majorité des médecins pense faire de l'éducation thérapeutique. Les outils utilisés sont principalement la répétition des informations et la vérification des acquis par des questions ouvertes, la réassurance des parents et la remise d'informations écrites sur l'ordonnance ou le carnet de santé. D'après eux, les facteurs limitant l'éducation thérapeutique sont l'angoisse des parents, leur expérience, leur niveau intellectuel, le milieu social et le manque de motivation et d'adhésion au traitement. Le manque de temps des médecins est également largement cité. Les rôles de l'éducation thérapeutique selon les médecins généralistes sont de rendre les parents autonomes à la prise en charge initiale de la fièvre du nourrisson, de reconnaître les signes de gravité, de corriger leurs erreurs et leurs croyances trouvant leur source dans les médias et l'entourage familial. Conclusion : Les médecins généralistes définissent l'éducation thérapeutique par les informations et les conseils qu'ils donnent aux parents, ce qui correspond à une infime partie de l'éducation thérapeutique et sous-tend une relation médecin-patient directive.

Download or read book Pathologies hivernales pid miques du nourrisson written by Emmanuel Grimprel and published by Elsevier Masson. This book was released on 2000 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les grandes avancées technologiques et scientifiques ont permis l'éradication des grandes épidémies dévastatrices, mais aujourd'hui l'augmentation de la concentration urbaine dans les pays industrialisés favorise la transmission des maladies contagieuses. Bronchiolite à virus respiratoire syncitial, gastro-entérite à Rotavirus et grippe sont trois grandes pathologies responsables chaque hiver de phénomènes épidémiques dans nos pays. Les jeunes enfants, et tout particulièrement les nourrissons, sont la cible privilégiée de ces maladies infectieuses. Les signes et les symptômes de ces trois pathologies étant souvent alarmants pour les familles, les hôpitaux français voient leur services d'urgences pédiatriques totalement pris d'assaut d'octobre à février. Face à un problème devenu, au cours de ces dix dernières années, un véritable enjeu en matière de santé publique, il devenait indispensable de sensibiliser les professionnels de la santé dans leur pratique en ville, afin qu'ils se portent garants des mesures prophylactiques et curatives nécessaires à la limitation du phénomène. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est d'accompagner les praticiens dans leur exercice quotidien, en leur apportant l'information et la formation essentielles pour faire face aux cas d'infections hivernales auxquels ils se trouvent confrontés chez l'enfant. Pour chacune des trois pathologies, les données épidémiologiques récentes sont exposées, faisant le point sur l'ampleur exacte de chaque infection. Les mécanismes physiopathologiques sont détaillés, permettant au praticien d'assurer la prise en charge thérapeutique la plus efficace possible. Enfin, l'accent est mis sur la prévention, par le biais de conseils pratiques abordant les mesures indispensables, allant des règles d'hygiène de vie élémentaires à la question de vaccins futurs. Cet ouvrage s'adresse essentiellement aux pédiatres et aux médecins généralistes.
