Book Description
La prescription médicamenteuse chez la personne âgée est un enjeu de santé publique. La polymédication liée à la polypathologie est le premier facteur de risque de la iatrogénie médicamenteuse, qui est responsable de plus de 10% des hospitalisations du sujet âgé. Le mésusage des médicaments et le manque d'adhésion au traitement peuvent favoriser la survenue d'effets indésirables. Ils sont fréquents et graves chez la personne âgée mais sont en grande partie évitables. Afin d'améliorer l'observance des personnes âgées fragiles prises en charge par le RSG de Lille Hellemmes Lomme, un outil de présentation du traitement médicamenteux a été mis au point en partenariat avec un groupe de médecins généralistes du Nord Pas de Calais. Cet outil « Mon Traitement » récapitule la liste des médicaments ainsi que les données utiles à une prescription optimisée. Il est envoyé avec le courrier du RSG au médecin traitant qui, après validation, le remet au patient ou à son aidant au domicile pour la préparation et l'administration des médicaments. L'étude a pour objectif principal d'analyser la revue d'ordonnance faite par le RSG et secondairement d'évaluer la qualité de remplissage et d'établir un profil sociodémographique des patients pris en charge par le RSG. En deux ans, 244 outils « Mon Traitement » ont été complétés par les gériatres du RSG et adressés aux médecins traitants. Il apparaît que 72% des patients sont polymédiqués, dont 37% de médicaments prescrits inadaptés ; 98% présentent des facteurs de mauvaise observance. La population prise en charge par le RSG est représentative des patients fragiles, à risque d'effets iatrogènes médicamenteux. 57,8% des ordonnances contiennent une prescription de psychotropes (de 10,6% avec plus de 2 psychotropes). Après la revue d'ordonnance, on observe une baisse de prescription de 12% de médicaments inappropriés et de 2% de psychotropes. 63,5% des fiches sont considérées suffisamment remplies avec l'ensemble des données utiles. Cette étude révèle aussi que la démarche est difficile à poursuivre au long cours : le temps de remplissage est important, l'outil sous forme papier ne permet pas de mises à jour régulières et les fiches sont rarement retrouvées au domicile. Un logiciel informatisé intégrant l'outil est en cours de développement pour optimiser le partage d'informations entre les intervenants.

ISBN: 9789241564106
Category : Antimalarials
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This report summarizes information received from 106 malaria-endemic countries and from malaria control partners. It highlights continued progress made towards meeting international targets for malaria control to be achieved by 2010 and by 2015. International funds disbursed for malaria control increased from $200 million in 2004 to $1.5 billion in 2009. Since 2008, more than 289 million insecticide-treated mosquito nets have been delivered to sub-Saharan Africa, enough to protect three quarters of the 765 million persons at risk of the disease. Over the last decade, 11 countries in the Africa Region and 32 countries in other regions showed reductions of 50% or greater in either confirmed malaria cases or malaria admissions and deaths. Malaria control is making a major contribution to reducing mortality in children less than 5 years old and to attaining the health-related Millennium Development Goals.

Labour Rights as Human Rights
Author: Philip Alston
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en

Book Description
Are efforts to protect workers' rights compatible with the forces of globalization? How can minimum standards designed to protect labor rights be implemented in a world in which national labor law is more and more at the mercy of international forces beyond its control? The contributors to this volume argue that international agreements and institutions are of central importance if labor rights are to be protected in a globalized economy, exploring some of the options that are open to governments, civil society, and the labor movement in the years ahead.

Making Better International Law: The International Law Commission at 50 - Proceedings of the United Nations Colloquium on Progressive Development and Codification of International Law
Dealmaking
Author: Richard Razgaitis
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0471452017
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Applying practical tools to the volatile process of negotiating Prognosticators apply Monte Carlo Analysis (MCA) to determine the likelihood and significance of a complete range of future outcomes; Real Options Analysis (ROA) can then be employed to develop pricing structures, or options, for such outcomes. Richard Razgaitis' Dealmaking shows readers how to apply these powerful valuation tools to a variety of business processes, such as pricing, negotiating, or living with a "deal," be it a technology license, and R&D partnership, or an outright sales agreement. Dealmaking distinguishes itself from other negotiating guides not only by treating negotiations as an increasingly common situation, but also by presenting a tool-based approach that creates flexible, practical valuation models. This forward-thinking guide includes a variety of checklists, case studies, and a CD-ROM with the appropriate software. Richard Razgaitis (Bloomsbury, NJ) is a Managing Director at InteCap, Inc. He has over twenty-five years of experience working with the development, commercialization, and strategic management of technology, seventeen of which have been spent in the commercialization of intellectual property.

Global Burden of Disease and Risk Factors
Author: Alan D. Lopez
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821362631
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
Strategic health planning, the cornerstone of initiatives designed to achieve health improvement goals around the world, requires an understanding of the comparative burden of diseases and injuries, their corresponding risk factors and the likely effects of invervention options. The Global Burden of Disease framework, originally published in 1990, has been widely adopted as the preferred method for health accounting and has become the standard to guide the setting of health research priorities. This publication sets out an updated assessment of the situation, with an analysis of trends observed since 1990 and a chapter on the sensitivity of GBD estimates to various sources of uncertainty in methods and data.

Social Organization of Medical Work
Author: Anselm Leonard Strauss
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412834391
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Today we face the painful reality of the prevalence of chronic, rather than acute, diseases. The technologies developed to manager long-term, incurable illnesses have radically and irrevocably altered the organizational structure of health care, presenting us with a frequently bewildering array of medical specialties. Social Organization of Medical Work offers essential insight into this new era of health care. Through richly documented, often gripping case studies, Anselm Strauss and his co-authors show us exactly how health workers are confronting the problems created by chronic disease and coping with today's highly technologized hospitals. They guide us through the various hospital work sites, describing in detail the kinds of tasks performed by medical personnel, the interactions of staff members with each other and with patients, and the overall resulting patient treatment and response. Focusing on the concept of illness trajectory, the authors vividly illustrate the complex, contingent nature of modern medical work. For example, open heart surgery keeps ill persons alive and may even improve them symptomatically, but those who do survive must face an uncertain future in terms of the physiological consequences of the surgery and the drugs required. They also have to adjust t altered lifestyles. In the new introduction, Anselm Strauss discusses the continuing importance of this work to sociologists, medical scholars, and medical professionals.
