Abstract:

The lack of end-user participation in project development and implementation has been shown to be a major factor in project failure. This is of importance in Saudi health care where there has been a large investment in health information technology. One such technology is Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) which should be understood as a network of devices and software working together simultaneously. PACS captures images, stores them, shares them, and makes them available for retrieval in different locations. The major users of PACS are radiologists whose role in health care is to interpret the images and assist physicians making diagnosis and decisions. 

This thesis reports a study in which radiologists in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were first asked to define quality criteria of PACS, using five focus groups. These criteria, together with criteria identified in the literature, were then used as the basis for a survey by questionnaire of 240 radiologists from 15 hospitals representing the five major sectors of health care in Saudi Arabia.  

In the survey, radiologists divided the criteria into “basic”, “performance”, and “delight”, following the Kano model of end-user expectations. Quality can refer to system quality, information quality, and service quality, according to the Delone & McLean model, and in this survey radiologists attached particular importance to quality criteria relating to service quality, rather than system quality and information quality. It also showed that radiologists were not satisfied with the extent of their participation in the selection and implementation of PACS. Whilst satisfied that system criteria were met, they were less satisfied that service quality criteria had been met. They also judged that their productivity and job satisfaction were higher where their participation had been higher.

Abstract:

Nowadays, aging studies has become a distinguished multidisciplinary field merging with the cutting-edge technologies to outline innovative ideas to cater the needs of seniors. Since the global geriatric population is estimated to rise rapidly, the number of people seeking to obtain caring services and wishing to be more actively engaged in life will be more apparent. A pet-like robot aiding to reduce human based high time pressure errors would be a significant contribution to nursing homes which face staff shortages. Health care professionals can also dedicate more time for their patients with the helping hand of a robot, creating opportunities to increase the quality of elderly care. Seniors who aspire day-to-day special care in home settings, interested in improving their living standards can also benefit from an amiable companion. Therefore, social robotics have taken up the job of addressing the needs of individuals in order to provide longevity solutions respectively. This study aims to bring an affordable and aesthetically pleasing robotic companion design and implementation framework employing ethnographic qualitative data research method and social constructivist worldview. Humans’ adaption experiences in order to identify the cultural challenges when interacting with robots will be collected via home sensors for this study. The intended design would connect to smart home sensors with respect to Internet of Things technologies to be able to create more intelligent and culturally sensitive design compared to the current prototypes for nursing homes in Czechia.

Abstract:

Online pharmacies enabled consumers to obtain prescription medications with a click of a button. While some countries such as UK and US are trying to regulate these providers, France decided to ban them.

A systematic review was carried out to assess the level of safety and effectiveness of these online providers in the UK, and France. Electronic searches were conducted to identify active legal and illegal providers in these two countries.  Multiple databases were searched including: pubmed, Care Quality Commission online database, general pharmaceutical council, and DREES (des données de la Direction de la recherche, des études, de l'évaluation et des statistiques (DREES).

Results: 56 online providers were identified as active in the UK and an additional 3 were illegally serving the French market. The initial analysis revealed that 15 of these online providers were found unsafe.

Recommendations: Our analysis suggests that existing regulations should be revised; ongoing frequent inspection is to be advised and stricter control measures should be implemented to ensure the delivery of safe and effective services. Providers offering high quality and safe services should be further promoted and rewarded.

Keywords: online pharmacy, safety and effectiveness of online medications, systematic review

Abstract:

In a pilot study, we assessed the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of a cardiac rehabilitation program, using a combination of mobile application and multidisciplinary caregiver control center. We also evaluated clinical and physiological outcomes as well as adherence to the exercise program in patients with low cardiovascular risk. Methods: A total of 22 patients with established coronary artery disease participated in a 6-month tele-cardiac rehabilitation (tele-CR) program. Datos Health, a novel digital health application and care-team dashboard, was used for remote monitoring, communication and management of the patient. Results: Following the 6-month tele-CR intervention, there was a significant improvement in exercise capacity, assessed by estimated Metabolic Equivalents (METS). High-density lipoproteins (HDL) levels significantly improved, whereas low-density lipoproteins (LDL), triglyceride (TG) glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures levels were not significantly changed. Exercise adherence was consistent among patients, with more than 63% of patents who participated in a program of moderately intense exercise for 150 minutes per week. Conclusion:

Patients who participated in tele-CR adhere well to the exercise program and attained good functional improvement. Tele-CR program is a viable option for populations that cannot, or elect not to participate in center based tele-CR programs.

Mohamed Lamine ASSAD completed his Ph.D. at the age of 25 from the University of Algiers and after that he joined the NATIONAL CENTER FOR PHARMACOVIGILANCE & MATERIOVIGILANCE (C.N.P.M ALGERIA).   
 

Abstract:

Surveillance of the risk of adverse effects (ARs) resulting from the use of drugs is provided by pharmacovigilance. However, the conventional methods (spontaneous notification) used to detect these adverse effects are not exhaustive.

In this context, the Algerian National Center for Pharmacovigilance and Materiovigilance (CNPM) initiated the establishment of a telemedicine network dedicated to pharmacovigilance, initially with some University Hospital Centers.

In order to succeed, the method was:

1-Visit University Hospital Centers.

2-Formalization of the network.

3-Establishment of audio-videoconferences.

4-Dissemination of a newsletter on the drug.

5-Establishment of quantitative and qualitative activity indicators.

The setting up of a Telemedicine network dedicated to pharmacovigilance contributes to a closer relationship between doctors and the National Pharmacovigilance Center, and could lead to an improvement in spontaneous notification in the context of the correct use of the drug.

Abstract:

Climacteric is a complex phase, in which ovaries stop producing eggs due to hormone fluctuation. In this phase women experiences biologically,physiologically and psychologically some changes within body. Climacteric is also used interchangeably with the broader term menopause, which is originated from greek word meno and pausis (cessation) that means menstrual periods stops permanently. The word climactic is derived from Latin word climactericus and greek word "klimacterikos" which mean critical point of life. Mostly With these critical changes body image effect negatively. The aim of study is to assess how the negative impact change into positive with physical activates. Climacteric consist four phases premenopausal, perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal. With the regular physical workout climacteric symptoms can be delayed.The most significant support with the work outis to provide strength to the bone mass and cardiorespiratory syste. If the women should focus on 30 minutes of moderate activity in every week oxygen consumption in the body increases simultaneously. So exercise is an indispensable piece of the study. Each women ought to know about the objective, awareness and education toward physical activity in middle age. Other profound yoga and aerobic activities can assist to positive mind set toward climacteric. This study provide more support to clinical specialist and physical educationist in treating with climacteric symptoms. Such studies can help to enhance health status in women middle age.

Abstract:

Hospital readmissions are indicators of the quality of service offered by hospitals and give an insight into the performance measures on the cost at the hospital. A readmission event occurs when a patient that has been discharged from a hospital after diagnosis and procedure is again readmitted to the hospital within a certain period. The Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) is part of a family of databases and software tools developed for the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). For this research, the data for the year 2016 from the National Readmission Database (NRD) will be studied and machine learning models built to model the relationship between readmission and various factors related to the patient. The models built in this research study will be used to ease the prediction of hospital readmission which is very important in healthcare management. Ischemic And Pulmonary Heart diseases are among the critical diseases in health care services. The monitoring of these diseases, therefore, should be handled with ultimate care and with trained professionals. Various studies have shown that readmission of these diseases has a higher rate compared to non-pulmonary disease, thus the need for critical research and study in these areas. The observations for Ischemic heart diseases and diseases of pulmonary circulation (diagnosis codes I20 to I28) will be used for this study. Analysis and goodness of model indexes such as the confusion matrix, AUC index, MSE, and R squared scores and findings from the study will also be evaluated and reported taking into account the model parameters.
