Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) has a much-documented history in healthcare. Dating back to 1916, a Boston surgeon, Ernest Codman, established a set of criteria that sought to improve hospital care (Lombardozzi, 2011, internet). The five criteria later evolved into the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, which set minimal standards for healthcare in hospitals, especially surgical departments (Lombardozzi, 2012, internet). The 1970s marked the beginning of a period known as divergence, when non-physician stakeholders, such as administrators, began to "define, measure, and report healthcare outcomes" (Lombardozzi, 2011, internet). By the 1980s, the CQI movement was nearly in full swing. ...

This was allegedly blamed on the incorrect use of the hospital information system. The case made the hospital’s management question the efficiency of the system because wrong administration of medical procedures could lead to many adverse effects that could include ...

Robots are used predominantly in industry. More and more companies are making their production lines automated by the usage of programmed robots. This trend of using robots started way back in 1960s and 1970s and gained popularity in the subsequent decades. Education was one area which was not touched by robotic technology until 10-15 years back. The strong belief was that a robot could not enhance the learning process. In fact introducing a robot in the learning process might make it more mechanical than creative. However, perceptions have changed in the last few years and education field is seeing more and more ...

These slides attempt to estimate the extent of the problem, and point out that teenage alcohol use is probably half of what it was in 1975. It has been declining for twenty years, due in part to raising the drinking age and public education campaigns against drunk driving.

One fairly recent estimate places the number of heavy drinkers in age 12-to-21 group at 2 million and the number of alcoholics at about 1.1 million, but these estimates vary widely by age, social class, ethnicity, location and how the questions are framed.

Almost certainly there are far more ...

In this presentation, I will talk about Antonio Agostinho Neto, the first president of Angola. I would briefly discuss his biography and I would also discuss his philosophy.

Antonio Agostinho Neto was born in Icolo, e-Bengo, Angola on September 17, 1922 (Boddy-Evans, 2013). With his father being a pastor of the Methodist church and his mother a kindergarten teacher (BookRags, 2006), Neto was one of the few Africans who was able to complete secondary school. He later worked for the Portuguese Colonial Health Service until 1947 when he received funding to study medicine in Portugal.

Revised Article:

Older people who are struggling with excess weight or obesity are often pressurized by family and friends to take up diets resulting in intentional weight loss. However, a recent study has revealed that weight loss among the elderly may not necessarily prolong their lifespan. Never the less, the researchers who published their findings in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also noted that there is no apparent harm in weight reduction either.

Weight loss among older citizens has traditionally been a cause of concern as it is often a symptom of ...

However, it is possible that hypertension is an incorrect diagnosis. Normal blood pressure should be bellow 120/80, but it is also considered that the blood pressure can deviate up to 140 mmHg systolic pressure and 90 mmHg diastolic reading. Because Mrs. Chang’s blood pressure reading is lower than 140/90, her case can be considered pre-hypertension at most (Cunha, 2010). Another possibility is that Mrs. Chang’s condition has changed since her last examination, but she could not have known that because she cannot remember her last examination. She currently appears to suffer from orthostatic hypotension rather than hypertension. ...

Data concerning the accuracy of diagnoses, the effectiveness of the treatments and the practices of healthcare providers is vital for any healthcare organization that works extra hard to excel ...

As engraved on the tombstone "A Soldier of the Revolution', Joseph Plumb Martin was indeed an ordinary soldier who died amidst poverty in 1850. He was an ordinary person who served bravely in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. He is best known for his memoir titled 'A Narrative of Some of the Adventures, Dangers and Sufferings of a Revolutionary Soldier', which was first published anonymously in 1830. In this memoir, he gave a vivid account of all that transpired in the battlefield in front of his eyes. His account of war is devoid of any embellishment of war heroes. ...

Genocides start because of the conflict between people of same race or religion attempting to displace the different race or religion. Conflicting interests between individuals from different race or religion can result to genocides. In the 20th century, over 250 million people have lost their lives due to genocides. Millions of people are left at risk of the exposure due to increased incidences of mass violence.

This epic book captures the mood and the general feeling at the times of World War 1, when one of the most lethal viruses called influenza erupted in an army camp in Kansas. Given that it was a time of war, military camps were crowded, therefore: the virus found carriers among the military men. When the army moved eastwards, influenza moved with them and in the process, it killed millions of people. It is sad to note that, the epic influenza killed more people in a period of twenty-four months, more than AIDS ever did in twenty-four years. For the purpose ...

The documentary focuses on the increased prescription of stimulants such as Ritalin in children. It evaluates the diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children and teenagers via prescription of antipsychotic and antidepressant medications. Therefore, the Frontline documentary is extremely inspiring given the alarming number of children being medicated for psychiatric disorders. Although the program did not mention any alternative approaches to diagnose this disorder, I think the prescription of antipsychotic and antidepressant medications is the conventional solution for children suffering from behavioral problems. A major issue in the Frontline program is that many children who were diagnosed with ADHD ...

OSH Act was proposed due to the accidents that were being experienced in the industries. The industry- specific safety statutes were still being enacted at the period. Most of these statutes protected employees under the federal agency contractors, and those that dealt with maintenance. The health and safety issues were also limited to a number of unions that represented workers that were in hazardous industries. The most common hazardous industries back then were electrical industries, mining, construction and auto. As the incidents of industrial accidents rose in the late 1960’s, there was a need to come up with a health and ...

Abstract This paper examines the air pollution problem in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Heavy pollution in the city has become a concern because of the increasing cases of health problems. Many babies are being born with defects in vital organs, pregnant women are miscarrying and the level of respiratory disease cases has risen. Although burning of coal in homes, during winter, causes pollution other sources of pollution contribute as well. The high altitude and the mountains surrounding Ulaanbaatar worsen pollution in the city. In winter, the Siberian anticyclone causes the city to have temperature inversion and high pressure, which do not ...

The relationship between the employer, employee and all the workers must be conducive. Every player in working place has a responsibility of enhancing the wellbeing of work partners.

The basic legal rights that employees seek involves fair wage, free from discrimination and safety in the working place. Fair treatment in working place requires manager to exercise authority in making a decision that do not favor. All workers are supposed to be treated equally ...

P and I Rule Book. According to the American P and I Club Rule Book, there is a clause about claims that are payable at the discretion of the Directors. Section 20 of the Rule book, titled “Ominbus” clause outlines that there may be circumstances where the Directors may choose to pay on claims that they collectively decide should be paid.

If the liability is not excluded elsewhere in any of the previous nineteen clauses, then the Directors can choose to pay a claim. This seems to be a fair way for the organization to establish that there may be unusual ...

Panic disorder refers to a disorder whereby an individual experiences sudden and spontaneous attacks of anxiety and fear. The panic attacks lead to agoraphobia, which is the feeling of anxiety that one gets for the fear of being in situations where one cannot get help in case of a panic attack. These situations include, but not limited to, being in crowds, being left alone or being near bridges.

According to Clark’s theory, panic attacks are caused by faulty and maladaptive interpretations of the sensations within the body. For example, sensations that are normal to healthy individuals can be perceived as ...

Measures of effects can be explained to being the indexes that normally summarize the strength of the link between various exposures and their specific outcomes thus helping the medical practitioner make effective decisions in their everyday practice (Rothman, Greenland & Lash, 2008, p.72). In the nursing practice, the measure of effects strategy is an imperative approach that helps the nurse in knowing not only whether a certain exposure such as smoking can be linked to a certain outcome such as myocardial infarction, but also determining the magnitude of this relationship. Enormous risks would be posed to the patients if the use ...

Recent research in industrialized countries provides evidence of the significant role that psychosocial factors play in health and disease. As such, these factors cannot be ignored in the assessment of patients, health promotion, illness prevention, and disease management. Examples of psychosocial factors are lack of social support systems and stress where individual experiences of these adverse events increase the risks for acute and chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and arthritis. Research provides evidence of psychosocial interventions and the important role of nurses in reducing these risks. In their review of literature on the association of CVD ...

Hinduism is the oldest and third largest religion in the world with close to a billion followers. Unlike other religious factions, Hinduism is seen as an all-inclusive group a point clearly outlined by the thousands of Indian religious groups that are affiliated to it. Apart from its constituent groups, Hinduisms’ tolerance can be witnessed from the lack of a singular theological system, deity or holy text for that matter (Religious Tolerance). Hinduism stresses that all religions are but facets of a whole-a singular truth. One of the fundamental beliefs of Hinduism is that life-mans and the universe in general-consists of a continuous circle ...

In 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) became law. Its purpose was to update healthcare information records so that they were in keeping with the digitization practices of modern record keeping. Privacy was another issue. Many people involved in patient care, administration, and insurance had access to patient records. Before HIPAA, there were no federal regulations that addressed patient record privacy. Through HIPAA, Congress sought to protect health records because there were so many people who had access to them. Keeping records in a digital format would allow even more people access to health records, which is ...

Strategic Management is an important, albeit an often taken for granted part, of organizational management . What most people do not realize is that trends and changes in consumer behavior and preferences exist in any market and so successful implementation of major initiatives and goals as elected by the top management, in behalf of the owners and members of the board, are imperative for a continuously successful and evolving company . As many of us know, a company that fails to change and evolve is a company that would eventually fail to survive. The objective of this paper is to discuss the overall organizational ...

Killing can be motivated by one or several motivators. There are various motivators that would result to numerous people getting killed for the need of self-preservation, justice, as well as the need to belong. The actions based on these motivators when someone is killed can be reactive versus impulsive, revenge versus a level of understanding, and conforming versus non-conforming. The impact of society, organizations, and gangs in influencing actions can be tied to the motive and basics for the action. Examples of these influences are rules and regulations, education and awareness programs, and dispute resolution. The prerequisite for self-deterrence, ...

Risk stratification involves the use of MEWS (modified early warning score), which is based on physiological parameters such as systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. Other commonly used methods include HRV (heart rate variation) and ML (machine learning), where HRV is the change of time intervals between heartbeats while ML ...

The idea of reducing crime may be easier said than done. For centuries, governments, government departments, and other concerned authorities have battled their way to fully minimize, and in the case of idealists, fully eradicate crimes and incidences of violence, but to no avail. Crimes, both petty and felony crimes, may be present everywhere. Regardless where one goes, even in the most crime-free of all places, there is no one hundred percent guarantee that one would not be victimized by the committers of petty and or felony crimes in the area.

Compared to crime rates in most highly industrialized ...

The advantage that movies have over books is that everything in the movie can tell the story: the background music, the movements or he gestures of the actors, specific unanimated scenes, dialogue, monologue and so on. On the other hands, books have only the words they are made of to tell the story and sometimes graphical indications or drawings that explain the scenes which compose the narrative. The current essay analyzes four combinations of book-film storytelling narratives (“The Natural”, “World War Z”, “Christine” and “The Hobbit”), focusing on a particular book-film combination, chosen as the worst such combination for a college-student ...

The strategy of Paula Deen Enterprise was primarily focused on the growth which was well explained by her plans to endorse a diabetic drug to develop new enterprise backed by Najafi Cos (Gillette, 2014).
