This book was released on 2008-09-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the work of the Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine, the 2007 IOM Annual Meeting assessed some of the rapidly occurring changes in health care related to new diagnostic and treatment tools, emerging genetic insights, the developments in information technology, and healthcare costs, and discussed the need for a stronger focus on evidence to ensure that the promise of scientific discovery and technological innovation is efficiently captured to provide the right care for the right patient at the right time. As new discoveries continue to expand the universe of medical interventions, treatments, and methods of care, the need for a more systematic approach to evidence development and application becomes increasingly critical. Without better information about the effectiveness of different treatment options, the resulting uncertainty can lead to the delivery of services that may be unnecessary, unproven, or even harmful. Improving the evidence-base for medicine holds great potential to increase the quality and efficiency of medical care. The Annual Meeting, held on October 8, 2007, brought together many of the nation's leading authorities on various aspects of the issues - both challenges and opportunities - to present their perspectives and engage in discussion with the IOM membership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There comes a time when a Paradigm Shift in a specific field is absolutely essential. Obviously there are many Paradigm Shifts attempting to happen right now. People need answers, they are tired of being lied to, they want justice and liberty and all the good things freedom and peace should give you. Some of the Paradigm Shifts are attempts to return to paradigms that did indeed work. Others are brand new paradigms that have been discovered just within the last century. Paradigms that set people free, that make life easier, that make life stable and predictable, and that also throws a little excitement into life. New frontiers to explore. But right at the top of the list is Healthcare. Without your health nothing else is possible, and as it stands right now all most people know about healthcare is disease management. You've been told none of the diseases are curable so you're just going to have to learn how to "manage" them. Innately, you know that is NOT true. Reasoning within yourself. "I was healthy once why can't I be healthy again"? But society has been built around disease creation and management so the answers to your specific health problems evade you, they're hard to find and eventually you give up the search and reluctantly succumb to the same old paradigm of disease management. So a Paradigm Shift in healthcare is desperately needed at this time in history. I could have titled this book "Health Made Easy." As you'll learn, all you really need is a few definitions and the rules that govern health. And they are easy to find in the anatomy and physiology books. One of the oldest tricks in the world is to hide something in plain sight. The Paradigm Shift in Healthcare takes you from discovering what the medical paradigm is and why it can't work "curing" diseases to discovering what the Natural Healing Paradigm is and why it does work eliminating diseases. Its an interesting study and will allow you to make an informed decision on how you want to take care of your health. There are no "cures" as you understand that word. But it is possible to elevate your health. Here are the definitions and rules YOU need to truly enjoy radiant health. Dr. K. R. Sutter II

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016, the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) hosted a series of meetings, which was sponsored by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, with support from NAM's Executive Leadership Network. The series underscored the importance of partnerships between researchers and health system leadership and considered opportunities to build institutional capacity, cross-institutional synergy, and system-wide learning. During these meetings, health system executives, researchers, and others discussed building infrastructure that simultaneously facilitates care delivery, care improvement and evidence development. The vision is a digital system-wide progress toward continuous and seamless learning and improvement throughout health and health care. This publication aims to answer the following questions: How can evidence development be accelerated, given current knowledge and resources? What might that mean for better outcomes for patients and greater efficiency in health care? What system and culture changes are required to generate evidence from the care experience? How much progress has been made in preparing the field for the paradigm shift? What are the hallmarks of successful partnerships among care executives and research leaders? What are the priorities in advancing executive leadership to the next level for continuously learning health and health care?

This book was released on 2011-07-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving our nation's healthcare system is a challenge which, because of its scale and complexity, requires a creative approach and input from many different fields of expertise. Lessons from engineering have the potential to improve both the efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery. The fundamental notion of a high-performing healthcare system-one that increasingly is more effective, more efficient, safer, and higher quality-is rooted in continuous improvement principles that medicine shares with engineering. As part of its Learning Health System series of workshops, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Value and Science-Driven Health Care and the National Academy of Engineering, hosted a workshop on lessons from systems and operations engineering that could be applied to health care. Building on previous work done in this area the workshop convened leading engineering practitioners, health professionals, and scholars to explore how the field might learn from and apply systems engineering principles in the design of a learning healthcare system. Engineering a Learning Healthcare System: A Look at the Future: Workshop Summary focuses on current major healthcare system challenges and what the field of engineering has to offer in the redesign of the system toward a learning healthcare system.

This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inappropriate use of antibiotics is a primary cause of the ongoing increase in drug resistance amongst pathogenic bacteria. The resulting decrease in the efficacy of antibiotics threatens our ability to combat infectious diseases. Rapid point-of-care tests to identify pathogens and better target the appropriate treatment could greatly improve the use of antibiotics. Yet there are few such tests currently available or being developed despite the rapid pace of medical innovation. Clearly something is inhibiting the much-needed development of new and more convenient diagnostic tools. This study delineates priorities for developing diagnostics to improve antibiotic prescription and use with the goal of managing and curbing the expansion of drug resistance. It calls for new approaches particularly in the provision of diagnostic devices and in doing so outlines some of the inadequacies in health science and policy initiatives that have led to the dearth of such devices. The authors make the case that there is a clear and urgent need for innovation not only in the technology of diagnosis but also in public policy and medical practice to support the availability and use of better diagnostic tools. This book explores the complexities of the diagnostics market from the perspective of both supply and demand unearthing interesting bottlenecks some obvious some more subtle. It calls for a multifaceted and broad policy response and an overhaul of current practice so that the growth of bacterial resistance can be stemmed.

Download or read book Redesigning the Clinical Effectiveness Research Paradigm written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-10-20 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent scientific and technological advances have accelerated our understanding of the causes of disease development and progression, and resulted in innovative treatments and therapies. Ongoing work to elucidate the effects of individual genetic variation on patient outcomes suggests the rapid pace of discovery in the biomedical sciences will only accelerate. However, these advances belie an important and increasing shortfall between the expansion in therapy and treatment options and knowledge about how these interventions might be applied appropriately to individual patients. The impressive gains made in Americans' health over the past decades provide only a preview of what might be possible when data on treatment effects and patient outcomes are systematically captured and used to evaluate their effectiveness. Needed for progress are advances as dramatic as those experienced in biomedicine in our approach to assessing clinical effectiveness. In the emerging era of tailored treatments and rapidly evolving practice, ensuring the translation of scientific discovery into improved health outcomes requires a new approach to clinical evaluation. A paradigm that supports a continual learning process about what works best for individual patients will not only take advantage of the rigor of trials, but also incorporate other methods that might bring insights relevant to clinical care and endeavor to match the right method to the question at hand. The Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Value & Science-Driven Health Care's vision for a learning healthcare system, in which evidence is applied and generated as a natural course of care, is premised on the development of a research capacity that is structured to provide timely and accurate evidence relevant to the clinical decisions faced by patients and providers. As part of the Roundtable's Learning Healthcare System series of workshops, clinical researchers, academics, and policy makers gathered for the workshop Redesigning the Clinical Effectiveness Research Paradigm: Innovation and Practice-Based Approaches. Participants explored cutting-edge research designs and methods and discussed strategies for development of a research paradigm to better accommodate the diverse array of emerging data resources, study designs, tools, and techniques. Presentations and discussions are summarized in this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

Book excerpt: From newborns switched in the nursery to medication mix-ups and hospital-acquired infections, we are all familiar with the horror stories about hospital safety, and unfortunately, the statistics say we aren’t exaggerating. The safety issue in U.S. hospitals has become so profound and embedded, that we cannot hope to fix it without a paradigm shift in our approach. After defining and demonstrating the true depth of this dangerous concern, Safer Hospital Care: Strategies for Continuous Innovation elaborates on the steps required to make that paradigm shift a reality. A respected and sought out expert on hospital safety, author Dev Raheja draws on his 25 years of experience as a risk management and quality assurance consultant to provide hospital stakeholders with a systematic way to learn the science of safe care. Supported by case studies as well as input from such paradigm pioneers as Johns Hopkins and Seattle Children’s, he explains how to: Adapt evidence-based safety theories and tools taken from the aerospace, nuclear, and chemical industries Identify the combination of root causes that result in an adverse event Apply analytical tools that can effectively measure hospital efficiency Establish evidence between Lean strategies and patient satisfaction Make use of various types of innovation including accidental, incremental, strategic, and radical, and establish a culture conducive to innovation This practical guide shows how to find solutions that are simple and comprehensive, and can produce a high ROI. To reform hospitals, we must recognize that they are highly dynamic systems that must be fixed systemically. Instead of thinking in terms of continuous improvement, we need to think in terms of continuous innovation. Safe hospital care is not just about doing things right; it is also about breaking old habits, finding new tools and doing the right things.
