Security Management in Health Care Information Systems — A Literature Review
2017
Health care information systems play an important role for communication across the organizational borders of health care services. The electronic health record represents the main entity in the management, exchange and storage of medical information. Health care organizations must adopt strategies for security and privacy risks associated with access to health care information systems, but on the other hand, the information needs to be accessible and readable for authorized health care professionals carrying out patient treatment. This paper presents a literature review on security management in health care information systems. The aim was to analyze descriptions and definitions of informa…
The Evidence Base for an Ideal Care Pathway for Frail Multimorbid Elderly : Combined Scoping and Systematic Intervention Review
2019
Source at https://doi.org/10.2196/12517. Background: There is a call for bold and innovative action to transform the current care systems to meet the needs of an increasing population of frail multimorbid elderly. International health organizations propose complex transformations toward digitally supported (1) Person-centered, (2) Integrated, and (3) Proactive care (Digi-PIP care). However, uncertainty regarding both the design and effects of such care transformations remain. Previous reviews have found favorable but unstable impacts of each key element, but the maturity and synergies of the combination of elements are unexplored. Objective: This study aimed to describe how the literature o…
Developing a Serious Game for Nurse Education.
2018
Future nursing education is challenged to develop innovative and effective programs that align with current changes in health care and to educate nurses with a high level of clinical reasoning skills, evidence-based knowledge, and professional autonomy. Serious games (SGs) are computer-based simulations that combine knowledge and skills development with video game–playing aspects to enable active, experiential, situated, and problem-based learning. In a PhD project, a video-based SG was developed to teach nursing students nursing care for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in home health care and hospital settings. The current article summarizes the process of the SG devel…
Professional stakeholders' views of the use of digital technologies in Spanish long-term care
2018
Demographic change in Europe has resulted in an aging population, which presents new challenges for implementing and managing long-term care (LTC) systems. One solution aims to increase the efficiency of LTC by using digital technologies. This article focuses on professionals’ opinions of the use of digital technologies in the administration of Spain’s long-term care law (Law 39/2006, December 14, LAPAD). This qualitative research is part of SoCaTel, an H2020 project on the co-creation of LTC services in Europe. Ten focus groups were held with health professionals, care-taking relatives, and care workers, and six semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted with care recipients in Cata…
Visualization of Exchanged Information with Dynamic Networks: A Case Study of Fire Emergency Search and Rescue Operation
2017
To perform emergency response activities, complex networks of emergency responders from different emergency organizations work together to rescue affected people and to mitigate the property losses. However, to work efficiently, the emergency responders have to rely completely on the data which gets generated from heterogeneous data sources during search and rescue operation (SAR). From this abundant data, rescue teams share needed information which is hidden in the abundant data with one another to make decisions, obtain situational awareness and also to assign tasks. Moreover, understanding and analyzing the shared information is a complex and very challenging task. Therefore, in this pap…
Anästhesie bei Patienten mit Porphyrie
2019
Die Porphyrien sind eine Gruppe vorwiegend hereditarer Stoffwechselstorungen der Hambiosynthese. Die Betreuung eines Patienten mit akuter Porphyrie ist eine interdisziplinare Herausforderung, bei der die Anasthesie eine koordinierende Funktion erfullt. Da es fur die Porphyrien bislang keine kausale Therapie gibt, richtet sich das Vorgehen im akuten Schub nach dem klinischen Bild. Im anasthesiologischen Umfeld ist insbesondere auf die Verwendung „sicherer“ Medikamente zu achten!
Prediction of Difficult Tracheal Videolaryngoscopic Intubation Using El-Ganzouri Risk Index
2017
Summary Introduction. Unanticipated difficult intubation still exists as a significant problem. El-Ganzouri risk index is a bedside difficult airway evaluation method, which can help determine risk of difficult airways. However, evidence of using of El-Ganzouri risk index in difficult laryngeal visualisation using videolaryngoscopes is limited. Aim of the Study. Determine the specificity and sensitivity of El-Ganzouri multivariate risk index to predict difficult laryngeal exposure using Storz C-MAC videolaryngoscope equipped with D type blade. Material and methods. We conducted a study of 29 patients, which were examined using El-Ganzouri risk index before induction of anaesthesia. After in…
Drenaggio toracico in Pronto Soccorso
2021
Riassunto Il drenaggio toracico e una procedura comune in medicina d’urgenza, indicata per gli pneumotoraci spontanei (primari o secondari) o traumatici e i versamenti pleurici liquidi: emotorace, pleurite purulenta o versamento parapneumonico complicato. Il drenaggio toracico si inserisce in una gestione multidisciplinare che coinvolge urgentisti, pneumologi, chirurghi toracici e rianimatori. La tecnica utilizzata deve essere nota ai medici che prendono in carico questi pazienti. Possono essere utilizzati diversi tipi di drenaggio e le loro indicazioni differiscono a seconda della natura del versamento. Il classico drenaggio con trocar resta, attualmente, indicato in caso di versamento liq…
