Book Synopsis World Report on Ageing and Health by : World Health Organization
Download or read book World Report on Ageing and Health written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The WHO World report on ageing and health is not for the book shelf it is a living breathing testament to all older people who have fought for their voice to be heard at all levels of government across disciplines and sectors. - Mr Bjarne Hastrup President International Federation on Ageing and CEO DaneAge This report outlines a framework for action to foster Healthy Ageing built around the new concept of functional ability. This will require a transformation of health systems away from disease based curative models and towards the provision of older-person-centred and integrated care. It will require the development sometimes from nothing of comprehensive systems of long term care. It will require a coordinated response from many other sectors and multiple levels of government. And it will need to draw on better ways of measuring and monitoring the health and functioning of older populations. These actions are likely to be a sound investment in society's future. A future that gives older people the freedom to live lives that previous generations might never have imagined. The World report on ageing and health responds to these challenges by recommending equally profound changes in the way health policies for ageing populations are formulated and services are provided. As the foundation for its recommendations the report looks at what the latest evidence has to say about the ageing process noting that many common perceptions and assumptions about older people are based on outdated stereotypes. The report's recommendations are anchored in the evidence comprehensive and forward-looking yet eminently practical. Throughout examples of experiences from different countries are used to illustrate how specific problems can be addressed through innovation solutions. Topics explored range from strategies to deliver comprehensive and person-centred services to older populations to policies that enable older people to live in comfort and safety to ways to correct the problems and injustices inherent in current systems for long-term care.
Book Synopsis Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-05-24 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year workers' low-back, hand, and arm problems lead to time away from jobs and reduce the nation's economic productivity. The connection of these problems to workplace activities-from carrying boxes to lifting patients to pounding computer keyboards-is the subject of major disagreements among workers, employers, advocacy groups, and researchers. Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace examines the scientific basis for connecting musculoskeletal disorders with the workplace, considering people, job tasks, and work environments. A multidisciplinary panel draws conclusions about the likelihood of causal links and the effectiveness of various intervention strategies. The panel also offers recommendations for what actions can be considered on the basis of current information and for closing information gaps. This book presents the latest information on the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders and identifies factors that influence injury reporting. It reviews the broad scope of evidence: epidemiological studies of physical and psychosocial variables, basic biology, biomechanics, and physical and behavioral responses to stress. Given the magnitude of the problem-approximately 1 million people miss some work each year-and the current trends in workplace practices, this volume will be a must for advocates for workplace health, policy makers, employers, employees, medical professionals, engineers, lawyers, and labor officials.

Book Synopsis Finding What Works in Health Care by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Finding What Works in Health Care written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare decision makers in search of reliable information that compares health interventions increasingly turn to systematic reviews for the best summary of the evidence. Systematic reviews identify, select, assess, and synthesize the findings of similar but separate studies, and can help clarify what is known and not known about the potential benefits and harms of drugs, devices, and other healthcare services. Systematic reviews can be helpful for clinicians who want to integrate research findings into their daily practices, for patients to make well-informed choices about their own care, for professional medical societies and other organizations that develop clinical practice guidelines. Too often systematic reviews are of uncertain or poor quality. There are no universally accepted standards for developing systematic reviews leading to variability in how conflicts of interest and biases are handled, how evidence is appraised, and the overall scientific rigor of the process. In Finding What Works in Health Care the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends 21 standards for developing high-quality systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research. The standards address the entire systematic review process from the initial steps of formulating the topic and building the review team to producing a detailed final report that synthesizes what the evidence shows and where knowledge gaps remain. Finding What Works in Health Care also proposes a framework for improving the quality of the science underpinning systematic reviews. This book will serve as a vital resource for both sponsors and producers of systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research.

Book Synopsis PRIMARY CARE PHYSIOTHERAPY IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS STRATEGIES FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL MANAGEMENT by : Mr. Naif Jazzaa Fudghush Alshammari
Download or read book PRIMARY CARE PHYSIOTHERAPY IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS STRATEGIES FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL MANAGEMENT written by Mr. Naif Jazzaa Fudghush Alshammari and published by JEC PUBLICATION. This book was released on with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of physiotherapy services into emergency departments (EDs) represents an evolving strategy for managing musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, which are among the most common presentations in these settings. The increasing demand for emergency care, driven by a combination of aging populations, sedentary lifestyles, and a rise in physical injuries, has underscored the importance of specialized physiotherapeutic interventions. These strategies aim to provide timely, targeted care for MSK injuries and conditions, reducing the burden on emergency physicians while improving patient outcomes. Primary care physiotherapy involves the rapid assessment, diagnosis, and management of musculoskeletal complaints, streamlining the care pathway and reducing unnecessary hospital admissions or referrals to secondary care. It also ensures that patients receive expert advice, rehabilitation plans, and education on self-management techniques, which are crucial for reducing recovery times and preventing future re-injury. In emergency departments, musculoskeletal physiotherapists play a critical role in assessing both acute injuries and chronic MSK conditions that may exacerbate due to trauma or physical stress. The scope of physiotherapy services includes management of sprains, fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue injuries, along with conditions like osteoarthritis and inflammatory joint diseases.
