Abstract:

The growing evidence on the benefits and risks of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and its high rate of use (69% of Australians) – particularly for chronic or recurrent conditions – means increasing attention on CAM. However, few people disclose CAM use to their GP, and health professionals tend to inadequately discuss CAM-related issues with their patients, partly due to insufficient knowledge. As clinical and non-clinical chronic condition management guidelines are a means to educate primary health care practitioners, we undertook a content analysis of guidelines relevant to two

Abstract:

The blend of complementary alternative medicine (CAM) and traditional Western medicine is known as integrative medicine (IM). It is based on the mind, body, spirit, and community and supports the concept that healing is always possible, even when curing is not; IM is relationship-centered care requiring the active participation of the patient to become more self-aware, to think about their experiences of health and illness, to develop and maintain caring relationships, and to commit to effective communication with the healing team. An integrated treatment strategy to meet the integrative healt

Abstract:

Sub-threshold anxiety and depression are common presentations in primary care. They carry a significant disability burden along with the risk of developing a frank disorder. Intervention options are limited, although there is some evidence that ultra brief interventions may be effective with this patient group. We argue that there is a need for a systematic but ultra brief, minimal contact intervention, that can be delivered by GPs or practice nurses. Such an intervention would be a form of facilitated self-management, a step up from self-help, from which people could be referred on to more in

Rationale: The highest burden of liver cancer occurs in developing countries, where the use of herbal medicine (HM) is still widespread. Despite this trend, few studies have been conducted to report HM practices of patients with a hepatic tumor in the developing world. Hence, this study aimed to document the use of HM among patients with liver cancer in Peru. Study Design and Methods: A comparative behavioral epidemiological survey was conducted among liver cancer patients attending the National Cancer Institute of Peru. Information was obtained by direct interviews based on a semistructured q

Abstract:

Abstract Background A changing health care environment has created a need for physicians trained in health system improvement. Residency programs have struggled to teach and assess practice-based learning and improvement and systems-based practice competencies, particularly within ambulatory settings. Intervention We describe a resident-created and resident-led quality and practice-improvement council in an internal medicine continuity clinic. We conducted focus groups and report on residents' perspectives on council membership, practice management experiences, quality improvement projects, an

Abstract:

As professionals working within a rapidly changing health care environment, it becomes critical to recognize alternatives for the management of clinical services to maximize the use of resources. However, it is also critical to remain constantly aware of the needs of valued and valuable employees, ensuring that the quality of working life is considered whenever any decisions are being made which will affect the work place. This paper reviews some of the literature related to decentralized structural models for health care institutions, and details the selection and implementation of one model

Abstract:

While lifestyle medicine (LM) has been increasingly recognized for its value in preventing and managing chronic disease, the conventional primary care practice has struggled to be a financially viable model for this time-intensive, highly personalized approach. However, the concierge medicine model provides many advantages to those seeking to incorporate the tenets of LM. Concierge medicine is characterized by smaller patient panels, extended visits, continuous follow-up, and a distinctive emphasis on prevention and wellness. These characteristics promote high-quality, individualized care. Nor

Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of YouTube videos as an educative tool for type 2 diabetes self-management. Design: Search terms were “diabetes diet” and “diabetes treatment.” Videos were jointly assessed by two reviewers. A third investigator evaluated a random sample to check for agreement. Main measures: Usefulness defined as making reference to AAD7 Self-Care Behaviors™ and presence of misleading information. Results: Of the 393 videos included, 42.2 percent (n = 166) classified as “alternative medicine.” 40.2 percent (n = 158) contained useful information. 25.7 percent (n = 101) vid

Objective: Social distancing and hand washing with soap and water have been advocated as the main proactive measures against the spread of coronavirus. We sought to find out what other alternative materials and methods would be used among populations without running water and who may not afford alcohol-based sanitizers. Results: We reviewed studies that reported use of sand, soil, ash, soda ash, seawater, alkaline materials, and sunlight as possible alternatives to handwashing with soap and water. We identified the documented mechanism of actions of these alternative wash methods on both inani

Abstract:

Recent health reforms in Victoria based on a market model characterised by competition and market control of health services, have radically changed the funding and management of community health organisations and the way health services are provided. Community health has sustained ongoing funding cuts, restructures, amalgamations, and corporatisation over the past decade. Within the context of reform community health has been forced to become competitive through improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of services. At the same time organisations must collaborate to ensure a co-ordinate
