Background and Aim: The recent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has caused a lot of stress and anxiety in the world. Given that health care workers are at the forefront of fighting against COVID-19, they are the first to be exposed to this disease. Methods & Materials: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 402 medical and administrative staff working in hospitals and health centers affiliated to Jahrom University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Data collection tools were a demographic form and the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS). Ethical Considerations: This study was approved by the Vice-Chancellor for Research of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences (Code: IR.JUMS.REC.1399.046). Results: The mean score of psychological symptoms of anxiety in the medical staff (46.91) was higher than in the administrative staff (42.63). Its physical symptoms were also higher in the clinical staff (12.80) compared to the administrative staff (10.94). There was a significant difference between the clinical and administrative staff in terms of anxiety (P=0.030). Conclusion: Medical staff has higher psychological and physical symptoms of anxiety compared to the non-medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, in order to reduce the anxiety of medical staff, health policymakers should take the necessary measures to take care of this group.

Abstract Background The work required to assist individuals in improving their mental health is stressful and known to be associated with burnout. In Japanese companies, non-medical occupational health (OH) staff often take the role of maintaining and improving workers’ mental health. However, few studies have examined burnout in this population. Aims To assess the relationship between burnout and occupational stressors among non-medical OH staff. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of OH staff who had participated in mental health seminars between 2016 and 2018. Occupational stressors were assessed using the Japanese version of the Job Content Questionnaire. Burnout was assessed using the Japanese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Results We administered the survey to 230 non-medical OH staff, of which 188 completed the questionnaire. According to a hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis, high job demands were associated with greater emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Greater job control was associated only with higher personal accomplishment. Lower job support was associated with greater emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Conclusions The present study found relationships between occupational stressors and burnout dimensions among OH staff. To avoid burnout among non-medical OH staff, it is important to take measures against occupational stressors, especially job demands and low levels of job support.

Background There are numerous mobile apps for tracking work hours, but only a few of them record work hours automatically instead of relying on manual logging. No apps have been customized for medical staff, whose work schedules are highly complicated as they have both regular hours and on-call duties. Objective The specific aims of this study were to (1) identify the Staff Hours app users’ GPS-defined work hours, (2) examine the overtime work hours from the app-recorded total work hours and the participants’ self-reported scheduled work hours, and (3) compare these app-recorded total work hours among different occupations. Methods We developed an app, Staff Hours, to automatically calculate a user’s work hours via GPS background data. Users can enter their scheduled hours, including regular hours and on-call duties. The app automatically generates overtime reports by comparing the app-recorded total work hours with the user-defined scheduled hours. A total of 183 volunteers (60 females and 123 males; mean age 32.98 years, SD 6.74) were included in this study. Most of the participants (162/183, 88.5%) were medical staff, and their positions were resident physicians (n=89), visiting staff (n=38), medical students (n=10), registered nurses (n=25), and non–health care professionals (non-HCPs; n=21). Results The total work hours (mean 55.69 hours, SD 21.34) of the 183 participants were significantly higher than their scheduled work hours (mean 50.67 hours, SD 21.44; P=.01). Medical staff had significantly longer total work hours (mean 57.01 hours, SD 21.20) than non-HCPs (mean 45.48 hours, SD 20.08; P=.02). Residents (mean 60.38 hours, SD 18.67) had significantly longer work hours than visiting staff (mean 51.42 hours, SD 20.33; P=.03) and non-HCPs (mean 45.48 hours, SD 20.08; P=.004). Conclusions Staff Hours is the first automatic GPS location–based app designed for medical staff to track work hours and calculate overtime. For medical staff, this app could keep complete and accurate records of work hours in real time, reduce bias, and allow for better complying with labor regulations.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to establish the difference in organizational justice perceptions and effects organizational justice dimensions on turnover intentions of workers in university teaching hospitals. The study adopted analytic descriptive survey design with quantitative methodology. Data were collected from university teaching hospitals in Nigeria through distribution and retrieval of 503 copies of questionnaire which was designed on a 5- point Likert scale response continuum of strongly agree to strongly disagree with corresponding weights from 5 to 1. Data were analysed with one way analysis of variance, Duncan post hoc test and multiple regression analysis. The findings of this study demonstrated that there was a significant difference in organizational justice perception among junior, senior and management staff in teaching hospitals; there was a significant difference in organizational justice perception among medical doctors, paramedics and supporting staff in teaching hospitals; distributive justice had non-significant positive effect on turnover intention among others. There is dearth of empirical literature in organizational justice and turnover intent in teaching hospitals in the Nigerian context. This research paper bridged the knowledge gaps, demonstrated policy inadequacies in the health sector and proffered possible way forward to mitigate the incidence of industrial unrest.

Aims and methodNon-medical staff are eligible to assess trainee doctors through mandatory workplace-based assessments (WPBAs). An anonymous questionnaire was given out to non-medical staff working with trainees in community and in-patient settings at Royal Blackburn Hospital. Our aims were to look at their awareness of and familiarity with assessor guidance, trainee competencies, training needs and assessors' views on completing these assessments.ResultsIn total 118 of 150 (79%) individuals returned a questionnaire and 89 WPBAs had been carried out. Most assessors were Band 6 (or equivalent) or below (53%). Most assessors had neither read any assessor guidelines (75%) nor were familiar with the competencies required of a doctor (76%). Although 79% felt that non-medical staff should be assessing trainee doctors, only 44% felt comfortable doing this. None had been trained and 92% felt this would help. Twenty WPBAs (excluding mini-peer assisted tools) were carried out by staff at Band 6 or below.Clinical implicationsNo respondents received guidance or training on being an assessor. This highlights the need for urgent action and delivery of training. This can easily be adapted from training packages developed for medical staff.

This thesis deals with the position of men and women on the position of non-medical staff, namely on the position of general nurse. The aim of this thesis is, through questionnaire survey, to compare the position of men and women working as general nurses. Then, on the basis of gained results and determined hypothesis evaluate, if men are perceived same as women, whether their low number is caused by gender prejudices and if healthcare personnel and the general public want more men on this position. Theoretical part is devoted to gender, history of nursing, education and specification of general nurse's work and position of men and women in health care in the Czech Republic and the world. The research part deals with the analysis and interpretation of results from the questionnaire surveys designed not only for general nurses, but also for the public.

Full textAbstract:
La présente étude s’attache à l’absentéisme long pour raison de santé chez les personnels hospitaliers non médicaux. Deux types de congé non ordinaire sont visés : les C.L.M. et C.L.D. Ceux-Ci constituent en effet un enjeu de gestion par les désorganisations et les coûts, principalement cachés, qu’ils suscitent. Ces derniers représentent également un enjeu de santé sociale (voire publique), en raison de la morbidité qu’ils expriment.Afin de les caractériser et de les mesurer, ce travail s’inspire de l’approche socioéconomique des organisations (I.S.E.O.R., Lyon). On s’efforce notamment de procéder à un diagnostic pluriel (social, organisationnel et financier). L’ambition est triple. Il s’agit 1) de faire prendre conscience de l’ampleur des préjudices (effet miroir pour la direction) ; 2) de contribuer au développement d’un référentiel théorique et pratique (évaluation élargie des absences) ; 3) d’encourager la promotion d’un présentéisme-Qualité (préconisations de type R.H.). Les diverses investigations se font sur trois hôpitaux régionaux publics (Auvergne) de taille volontairement différente (C.H.U., C.H. et H.L.). Les résultats laissent à chaque fois apparaître des profils, des fonctionnements, des dépenses et des vécus assez alarmants. Ils témoignent d’une défaillance au niveau des ressources humaines (organisationnelle et managériale). Ces retours négatifs attestent par ailleurs d’une possibilité d’extension de l’analyse de type socio-Économique (application aux interruptions prolongées en structures de soins). Ils autorisent enfin à dégager quelques pistes d’intervention, tantôt transversales(proximité dans les procédures), tantôt spécifiques (particularités de la structure)The present study focuses on the long absenteeism for health reason at non medicalhospital staff. Two types of non ordinary sick leave are aimed : the C.L.M. and C.L.D. (rulingson salary insurance). Those indeed constitute a challenge of management by thedisorganizations and the costs, mainly hidden, which they cause. They represent also a stakein social health, because of the morbidity they express.In order to characterize and measure them, this work takes as a starting point theorganizations socio-Economic approach (I.S.E.O.R., Lyon). We particularly try to carry out aplural diagnosis (social, organizational and financial). The ambition is threefold. It acts 1) tomake become aware of the scale of the damages (mirror effect for the direction); 2) tocontribute to the development of a theoretical and practical reference frame (widenedevaluation of the absences); 3) to contribute to the promotion of good and really presenteeim(human resources recommendations).The various investigations are done on three publicregional hospitals of voluntarily different size (C.H.U., C.H., H.L. – in the center of France).Each time the results let appear alarming profiles, operations, spending and lived. They giveevidence to a failure in organisational and managerial human resources. These negativereturns also attest an extension possibility of the socio-Economics’ analysis (to the extendedsickness absences in structures of care). They finally allows to identify some tracks ofintervention, sometimes transverse (proximity in the procedures), sometimes specific(peculiarities of the structure)

Background: Non-hospital staff in hospitals are exposed to biohazard workplace environment. If they are not properly protected, their risk of tuberculosis is far higher than that of others. If they are not taken care of, they may also result in non-medical staff and other patients’ organisms. Sexual hazards, there is little research on this epidemic infectious disease in domestic and other country. It is hoped that this study can provide reference for hospitals to plan in-service infection control education for employees. Purposes: To explore the related issues of the hospital staff to understand the risk of tuberculosis infection. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive correlation designs were used in this study. The administrative personnel, transfer personnel, dietitians and social workers of one hospital in Kaohsiung are the subject. Questionnaires were used in this research. Results: A total of 152 non-medical staff participated in the study. Non-medical staff were mostly female(98.7%), married(74.3%), with an average age of 51 years or more(30.9%), an average working year of 3-5 years(33.6%), and bachelor & graduate background (50.7%). The correct rate of the knowledge scale was 75% in university group. The non-medical staff's attitude to the pulmonary tuberculosis scale was calculated by using the five-point method, and the average of the ten questions reached 3.47 points which moderate degree positive attitudes were. Pulmonary tuberculosis prevention and treatment behavior scale scored ten questions in five points, with an average score of 4.12 points which high preventive behavior were. Knowledge, attitudes, marriage, and working tenures can be good predictors for behaviors. Knowledge was negative correlated with attitudes( r = -0.800). Knowledge was positive correlated with behaviors( r = 0.916). Attitudes were negative correlated with behaviors( r = -0.724). Conclusions: The behavior and attitudes of non-medical staff in a hospital in the southern part of China for tuberculosis disease are moderate; academic attitudes and tuberculosis attitudes are the main reasons affecting non-health care workers.

whether non-medlcal hospital workers are placed at risk of Infection by virtue
of their ignorance of the virus and further seeks to investigate whether
"expert" knowledge possessed by professional health workers is disseminated
to less-skilled and less-knowledgeable workers. Processes around class and
status involved in social closure are investigated to account for the lack of
communication concerning AIDS amongst hospital workers. Two research
procedures were adopted in this study, namely the intensive interview and
participant observation.
Findings of the thesis indicate that though all hospital workers are at risk of AIDS infection, unskilled workers remain more vulnerable because they lack knowledge and awareness of the virus. Factors of class, status, educational opportunity and professional elitism striate the hospital workforce and result in exclusionary practices, including the non-dissemination of knowledge about AIDS in the hospital work setting

Workplaces are important settings for health promotion and disease prevention. Participation in sport and recreation can lead to improved health of individuals and increased productivity levels at work places. Despite the health benefits of sports and recreation and the approval of the workplace sports and recreation policy in the Limpopo Department of Health, many employees still do not participate, even when invited for games. The aim of the study was to determine the perceived factors influencing participation of non-medical staff members in workplace sports and recreation at Elim Hospital using the constructs of the Health Belief Model. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. The population were all non-medical staff members of Elim Hospital. A total sample of 222 non-medical staff members of Elim Hospital were used for the study. Participants were divided into three categories, depending on the type of their work. A researcher-administered structured questionnaire based on the construct of the Health Belief Model was used to collect data. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 and Microsoft Excel was used to analyse the data. A descriptive statistical method was used to analyse frequencies and Chi-square test was used to determine the level of significance of correlations between the different variables. A probability level of 0.05 or less was used to indicate statistical significance. The study revealed that the rate / level of participation in workplace sports and recreation among non-medical staff members at Elim Hospital was low (30%). Participants perceived themselves mainly as less susceptible and not susceptible to NCDs. The major barriers to participation that were identified include lack of awareness of the sports and recreation policy as well as busy work schedule. There was a significant relationship between participation and age of respondents, as well as between participation and occupation category. Educational programme geared towards increasing awareness of employees on the policy as well as on benefits of sports and recreation can significantly improve participation in workplace sports and recreation.

Introduction: Communication with relatives of critically ill patients is a rather neglected area in the Czech Republic. Intensive care focuses more on the patient, equipment and highly specialized treatment while contact with relatives is often minimized. Moreover, the conversation consists mainly of brief statements related to the current health status of the patient. It is important to pay more attention to this issue, especially so that the medical staff can offer the patient's family the best possible help in their difficult life situation. Objectives and Methodology: The aim of this thesis was to map the professional preparedness of general nurses and doctors in the areas of communication with the patient's family. Next, the thesis also attempted to determine the attitude of the medical staff to the families of patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit. Furthermore, it also aspired to map the experience of the patient's family members with the cooperation and interaction with the medical staff during hospitalization of the patient. Last but not least, the aim of the thesis was to propose solutions to improve the current situation. The quantitative research was conducted using structured questionnaires. One version of the questionnaire was intended for families of patients in the ICU...

The goal of the presented study is to assess patient safety during nursing care from two different points of view. The first view represented the opinions of the staff working in direct contact with patients, and the second view represented the management`s opinions of activities leading to quality improvement and care safety. The combination of a quantitative and qualitative study was used to meet the purpose of the thesis. The quantitative part used standardized questionnaires called The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and Systems of Quality Improvement in European Hospitals designed for quality managers and coordinators within the project called Deepening of our Understanding of Quality Improvement in Europe (DUQuE) while this part was complemented by a qualitative study using a semi-structured dialogue. The sample consisted of 427 respondents (331 non-medical healthcare professionals working in direct contact with patients and 96 non-medical healthcare managers. The study using the HSOPSC tool showed that the respondents did not perceive patient safety at their workplace as problematic. They did not expect that patient safety would be put at risk during information handovers and patient transfers. Similarly, the management`s activities leading to patient safety improvement were assessed positively, which is one of key elements of ensuring safety culture. Higher attention should be paid to team cooperation across hospital wards, which influences the care coordination, and also to the personnel measures that influence the management of workload and development of errors. It was studied using the DUQUeE tool which sources and methods were the most common for quality improvement and care safety. Clinical audits and monitoring of work of individual staff nurses were mentioned as the most common systematic activities. Improvement efforts should be focused on the area of supporting information technologies and training dealing with internal peer review, and further projects of quality improvement. The sample of the qualitative study consisted of 9 respondents ? managers responsible for the coordination of quality improvement activities. The qualitative study used a semistructured dialogue, and complemented the quantitative study by the information on the ways of putting some areas into practice. Among others, it was found out that the range and quality of evaluated results corresponded with the absence of training in particular methods at the level of management of non-medical healthcare professions. This thesis has produced both theoretical and practical benefits. The practical benefit includes the recommendation of a suitable combination of testing methods for hospital self-assessments within the concept of safe care. The involvement of staff nurses and management will contribute to more effective promotion of safety and the whole process of continuous improvement, and repeated assessments will enable monitoring of the effect of safety measures. In the theoretical area, this study can extend the approach to management education since it provides various innovative views of safety problems and care quality.

Nursing moral philosophy in the care of the terminally ill Abstract The aim of the work The aim of the research part of the diploma thesis was to fid out what ethical dilemmas the medical staff recognizes in the care of the terminally ill and what role it occupies in accompanying the dying. The method to reach the goal To achieve the goal, we chose a qualitative research solution using a semi-structured interview, which ethical dilemmas of the non-medical healthcare staff recognizes and what roles it takes to make decisions at the end of the patient's life. The research group was consisted of 10 nurses who are part of palliative teams in selected health care institutions. The interviews which were provided, were rewritten, and using of coding techniques "paper-pencil", the data was organized into each categories. The gained knowledge and the conclusion The research which we have conducted reveals what ethical dilemmas we see as a non-medical healthcare professionals in their practice and which attitudes and roles we hold to the terminally ill, dying patients and their families. The patients with an incurable illness at the end of their lives find themselves in a very difficult situation. It is very important to improve the quality of the care and to be close to these patients. The medical staff member should be aware that any decision can become an ethical dilemma that we should recognize to find the best solution to meet the needs of the patient, respect his desire with maintain one´s dignity. Only that palliative care can be characterized as a first-rate care, focused on the patient's individuality and uniqueness

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter explores psychiatric concepts and clinical issues relating to patients in the asylums, including classification of disorders; research; nature and nurture hypotheses; and treatment and convalescence. From medical and legal standpoints, definitions of insanity were vague, subjective and their value debated. Physical illness and mental disturbances overlapped and there was little consensus on the relative contributions of heredity, brain disease, psycho-social, spiritual and other non-medical factors to causing mental disorders. Treatment became more custodial, often relying on sedative medications, restraint and seclusion. Individually focussed treatment was an ideal but hard to implement in large impersonal, overcrowded and inadequately staffed asylums. Particularly during the war, the asylums lost the precious commodity of staff time to build therapeutic relationships and provide psycho-social treatments to assist recovery and manage the most disturbed patients humanely.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe wide range of medical disciplines afferent to anesthesiology (anesthesia, perioperative care, intensive care medicine, pain therapy, and emergency medicine), carry a great, cross-specialty opportunity to influence safety and quality of patients’ care. Operating rooms and Intensive Care Units are settings burdened with a high risk of error: surgery is evolving, while the medical staff working in ICU is expected to provide high-quality care in a stressful and complex setting. It is estimated that about 1.5% of surgical interventions are complicated by critical events, but the true incidence is likely underestimated. Across medical specialties, preventable patient harm is more prevalent in the ICU.Recommendations and good practices for the safe provision of anesthesia and critical care exist and must be known and transferred into daily practice, since one of the main duties of anesthesia and critical care providers is to provide patient safety. Strategies to reduce the occurrence of medication errors, appropriate monitoring practices, equipment care and knowledge, planification and mastery of non-technical skills during emergencies, as well as designing and sustaining a healthy work environment and adopting adequate staffing policies could have an impact on patient safety and positively influence patient outcomes in this setting. The development of simulation training and cognitive aids (e.g., checklists, emergency manuals) is also changing the approach to crises and is expected to encourage a deeper cultural change.

The conclusion considers what systemic improvements may be made to queer communities and medical provisions, to allow the heterogeneity of non-binary identifying people to feel legitimised in their identities, and have equal access and experience of services. One of the most fundamental recommendations for medical practice that can be made is inspired by those communities that non-binary people expressed affinity with, such as bisexual and kink communities. Such spaces were sensitive and reflexive to gender plurality, and tended to construct language and space to be more fully inclusive. Gendered assumptions rooted in cisnormativity should be challenged within medical practice. Practices in gendered medicine may be similarly adjusted at the administrative level to improve preventative health screening for trans individuals. Much of this may be attained initially through the provision of training to both medical students and existent medical staff and administrators. This is followed by a critical reflection on gender affirming medical services, whereby the impact of a shift to an informed-consent focused model is considered. In order to optimise such recommendations, the limitations of this study and future necessary directions of enquiry are then addressed. This includes final methodological reflections and intersectional factors – such as the limited classed and racial diversity of the participants.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter five scrutinises accounts of primary care services for the most part (with some mention of secondary care), focusing on the experiences and views participants reported of interactions with doctors and other staff. Experiences are subdivided into ‘gendered medicine’ – healthcare which is differentiated in gendered terms, such as smear tests – and generalizable healthcare experiences, such as arm pain. The chapter also addresses how clerical administration in medical institutions may affect non-binary patients. This includes discussion of how names and pronouns are used and recorded, and medical forms specifically discussed by participants – including feedback forms and documentation related to tertiary care. Whilst this chapter is structured around primary care, the cross-practice nature of administration renders a general discussion that cuts across all forms of care appropriate. Discussion of the key administrative process of referral brings this chapter to a close.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses the experience of a Clinical Psychologist who has worked in acute medical settings and on inpatient wards for several years, and has encountered people with a wide range of symptoms and presentations. Unfortunately, in acute medical settings, people who experience Non-Epileptic Seizures (NES) often receive substandard or inappropriate care and have negative interactions with staff as a result of stigma. When someone presents with NES, the situation can be difficult for medical professionals to understand. They can be just as frightened, confused, and unsure about what to do as the person experiencing the seizures. Moreover, it can be difficult for doctors to admit that they do not know what is happening. They can feel under pressure to do or say something—maybe to refer for a test that is not really needed, to prescribe unnecessary medication, or to refer to another specialist for a second opinion. As such, people often go through a seemingly never-ending journey of uncertainty, anxiety, and rejection as they try to find some understanding about what is causing the seizures they cannot predict or explain.

Full textAbstract:
People have characteristic ways of perceiving, thinking about, and responding to the world around them that are relatively stable over time and across situations; this is referred to as their personality. A diagnosis of personality disorder is made when the personality is extreme and maladaptive and causes difficulty or distress to the person themselves or to others. People with personality disorders are often encountered in medical settings, which may be because they have self-harmed, suffered problems from drug or alcohol use, or been injured because of unwise behaviour. Personality disorders also complicate the medical management of medical conditions, for example, by non-adherence to recommended treatment. The effective short-term management of personality disorders in medical settings requires: (a) recognition of the diagnosis; (b) creation of a management plan; and (c) consistent response to the problematic behaviours adhered to by all relevant staff.

This chapter highlights the lack of knowledge on non-epileptic seizures among the nursing and medical profession. The author’s first experience with a patient with non-epileptic attacks was as a student nurse. The author recalled that no one seemed to have any sympathy for the patient, and that, whenever an event started, there would be a roll of the eyes from the nursing staff. Now, as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Epilepsy, the author realized how unhelpful and misguided the treatment was that the patient received. The author now looks after patients with a dual diagnosis of epileptic and non-epileptic attacks and has also cared for patients who have been misdiagnosed. Over time, the author has learned that non-epileptic attacks can be just as debilitating as epileptic seizures. In many cases, they can be harder to manage, more challenging for the patient to live with, and ultimately more difficult to treat. Moreover, non-epileptic seizures carry just as much stigma as epilepsy. As such, patients with non-epileptic attacks need just as much support as patients with epileptic seizures.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter looks at how a neuropsychologist works with patients with Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Spells (PNES). As a neuropsychologist, the author sees every patient admitted to an epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) for spell classification. During the admission, the neuropsychologist evaluates cognitive and emotional functioning in all patients, regardless of suspected etiology. Unfortunately, the rates of depression and anxiety are high in the EMU population. In patients with epilepsy, psychological distress may be underdiagnosed because of the focus on their medical illness. In patients who are eventually diagnosed with PNES, part of the neuropsychologist’s role is to also create a psychological case formulation of the factors that may have contributed to a patient’s vulnerability to PNES and/or current factors that may be perpetuating the illness. This is in addition to identifying comorbid diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder. Another role the neuropsychologist plays is in nursing education, where the neuropsychologist periodically holds small group sessions with EMU nursing staff, mostly to dispel assumptions about PNES that are incorrect.

Full textAbstract:
To dramatize deplorable health conditions and the race and class origins of pre-existing conditions, the Young Lords took-over Lincoln Hospital in July 1970. The occupation forced the construction of a modern medical building and creation of one of the Western world’s first acupuncture drug treatment centers. Cited as the first of its kind in American medicine, the group incited a public clinical hearing where a lay audience cross-examined doctors after the death of a Puerto Rican woman, the result of an abortion procedure conducted by an unsupervised medical resident. The Lords organized with non-medical hospital staff in the Health Revolutionary Unity Movement (HRUM) and white radical doctors in the Pediatric Collective under the banner, Think Lincoln. Together they drafted the earliest known Patient Bill of Rights. In the wake of late 60s draconian cuts in social spending, they and others staved off the advent of neoliberal social policies in the late 1970s. Historians interpret sixties revolutionary nationalism as a rejection of coalitions with white Americans. These alliances suggest otherwise. But the Lords challenged power dynamics in cross-racial and cross-class alliances, rejecting uninterrogated racial prejudices and liberal tendencies of middle-class white radicals and the potential for their disproportionate influence in coalitions.

In the 21st century, the digital revolution is disrupting every sector of the economy. Australia has adopted the digital healthcare technological revolution such as My Health Record (MyHRC) to improve healthcare practice for clinicians/medical professionals and empower consumers to provide positive health management experience with a patient-centred approach to digital health revolution and digital literacy. My Health Record has its benefits, but it has been a challenge for the healthcare practitioners, hospital staff, as well as patients as consumers to accept, embrace, and uptake digital technologies and manage their healthcare records amidst concerns of slow adoption by the patient, data privacy, and implications of the secondary use of their personal data by non-government entities.

Full textAbstract:
Emergency Department (ED) is a complex care delivery environment in a hospital that provides time sensitive urgent and lifesaving care [1]. Emergency medicine is an unscheduled practice and therefore providers experience extreme fluctuations in their workload. ED crowding is a major concern that affects the efficacy of the ED workflow, which often is challenged by long wait times, overuse of observation units, patients either leaving without being seen by a provider and non-availability of inpatient beds to accommodate patients after diagnosis [2]. Evaluating ED workflow is a challenging task due to its chaotic nature, with some success using time-motion studies and novel capacity management tools are nowadays becoming common in ED to address workflow related issues [3]. Several studies reveal that Electronic Medical Record (EMR) adoption has not resulted in significant ED workflow improvements nor reduced the cost of ED operations. Since raw EMR data does not offer operational and clinical decision making insights, advanced EMR data analytics are often sought to derive actionable intelligence from EMR data that can provide insights to improve ED workflow. Improving ED workflow has been an important topic of research because of its great potential to optimize the urgent care needed for the patients and at the same time save time and cost. Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) is a wireless automatic identification and data capture technology device that has the potential for improving safety, preventing errors, saving costs, and increasing security and therefore improving overall organizational performance. RFID technology use in healthcare has opened a new space in healthcare informatics research that provides novel data to identify workflow process pitfalls and provide new directions [4]. The potential advantages of RFID adoption in healthcare and especially in ED has been well recognized to save costs and improve care delivery [5]. However, the large upfront infrastructure costs, need for an integrated health information technology (HIT), advanced analytical tools for big data analysis emerging from RFID and skilled data scientists to tackle the data to derive actionable intelligence discourage many hospitals from adoption RFID technology despite its potential advantages. Our recent pilot study on the RFID data analytics demonstrated the feasibility of quantifying and analyzing two novel variables such as ‘patient alone’ time defined as the total time a patient spends alone without interaction with a health care staff in the ED and ‘provider time’ defined as the total time a patient spends interacting with any health care staff [6]. The study motivated a more comprehensive big data analytics of RFID data which can provide better insights into optimizing ED workflow which can improve the quality of care in the ED and also reduce cost. In this work, the authors attempt to describe the RFID adoption in the ED at the Saint Mary’s Hospital at Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, MN, a level one trauma center both for children and adults as a step towards optimizing ED workflow.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background: Current protocol for monitoring high-risk patients in psychiatric hospital calls for a staff member to enter each room every 15 minutes to visually ensure that each patient is still breathing. This protocol has been set up for fast intervention in the case of a patient’s self-inflicting harm. However, this procedure is disruptive to the patients and a burden for the care providers. Objective: Continuous and automated overnight monitoring of psychiatric patients for a complete cessation of breath, that eliminates the need for frequent in-person checks. Method: An IRB approved study conducted in a simulated lab environment, with a radar device placed in the ceiling above the bed. 14 volunteers simulated episodes of respiratory arrest. Results: The extracted radar signal not only tracks the episodes of complete breath cessation but also estimates the respiration rate with more than 92% accuracy, during normal breathing. Conclusion: Our proposed approach provides the means for care providers in psychiatric hospitals to ensure the patients can breathe without disturbing the patients’ sleep.

Abstract Endoscopic stents are being used by surgeons in off-label uses to manage leaks and perforations in the gastrointestinal tract. Commercially available stents are primarily designed to open strictures in the esophagus through tissue compression. The stents incorporate a woven NiTi wire to produce a stiff and linear tubular shape that conforms to the esophagus. In off-label uses, where the stents are placed in non-esophageal locations the stents must bend, the stents show a high propensity to migrate from their initial location causing unwanted complications. In this paper, a new stent design incorporating functionally graded NiTi is presented and explored. First, a functionally graded NiTi stent design is proposed. Next, a mechanical model using finite element analysis is developed to predict the bending moment and stiffness of the functionally graded stent designs. Finally, the mechanical model is coupled with a genetic algorithm in MATLAB to identify optimal designs. For a 90° bending angle, the best design parameters of the newly proposed flexible stents are found for three different stent design families. The results of the functionally graded stents show how tailoring the material properties locally in a structure can lead to highly compliant behavior. The tailoring of the geometric and material design developed may be applied to design of highly flexible and optimized medical devices.
