Hospital Management is a resource for anyone with managerial responsibilities in a hospital, and for those studying hospital administration or related disciplines. It is collaborative: anyone can jump in to add articles or edit and improve people’s work. From electronic health records to newer data assets like genomic data, healthcare entities now have more materials than ever to generate actionable clinical insights. Healthcare organizations can also use data elements that are typically overlooked to develop risk scores.
Global health is about worldwide health improvement, reduction of disparities, and protection against global threats that disregard national borders. Global health is not to be confused with international health, which is defined as the branch of public health focusing on developing nations and foreign aid efforts by industrialized countries. The predominant agency associated with global health is the World Health Organization.
Healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health via the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, illness, and other physical and mental impairments in human beings. Health care is delivered by health professionals in the health fields. Physicians and physician associates are part of these health professionals. Hospital Management is a field which is related to management, health care systems, leadership, hospital networks and administration of hospitals.
Pharmaceutical Management is one of the fields of healthcare that combines the study of basic and pharmaceutical sciences with marketing and management studies; and that prepares individuals for careers in pharmaceutical sales, marketing, management, and related fields within the health care industry. It includes instruction in biology, chemistry, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, health care systems, issues and structure of the pharmaceutical industry, management, pharmaceutical marketing, pharmaceutical, and medical product management, and legal issues.
Health marketing is a new, customer-cantered, approach to public health promotion that applies traditional marketing principles and theories alongside science-based strategies to protect and promote the health of diverse populations. It involves creating, communicating, and delivering messages for the public on prevention, health promotion and health protection. Health marketing is one of the ways advancements in medicine and in health-protecting services, such as insurance, are made widely known.
Ambulatory care or outpatient care is medical care provided on an outpatient basis, including diagnosis, observation, consultation, treatment, intervention, and rehabilitation services. This care can include advanced medical technology and procedures even when provided outside of hospitals. Many medical investigations and treatments for acute and chronic illnesses and preventive health care can be performed on an ambulatory basis, including minor surgical and medical procedures, most types of dental services, dermatology services, and many types of diagnostic procedures.
Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technology to provide clinical health care from a distance. These technologies permit communications between patient and medical staff with both convenience and fidelity, as well as the transmission of medical, imaging and health informatics data from one site to another. Health administration or healthcare administration is the field relating to leadership, management, and administration of public health systems, health care systems, hospitals, and hospital networks.
Patient safety is a discipline that emphasizes safety in health care through the prevention, reduction, reporting, and analysis of medical error that often leads to adverse effects. There is a significant transdisciplinary body of theoretical and research literature that informs the science of patient safety. The goal of health care is to provide medical resources of high quality to all. Researchers use a variety of quality measures to attempt to determine health care quality, including counts of a therapy's reduction or lessening of diseases identified by medical diagnosis, a decrease in the number of risk factors which people have following preventive care or a survey of health indicators in a population who are accessing certain kinds of care.
The role of the General Practice and Primary Care Unit is to improve communication and collaboration across the interface between DHHS and General Practitioners, to develop and support innovative solutions which provide alternatives to inpatient and hospital care. Primary Care could be a crucial a part of an integrated, comprehensive and mature Healthcare system.
Healthcare Technologies encompasses a wide range of healthcare products and is used to treat diseases and medical conditions affecting humans. Such technologies are intended to improve the quality of healthcare delivered through earlier diagnosis, less invasive treatment options and reduction in hospital stays and rehabilitation times. Recent advances in medical technology have also focused on cost reduction. Medical technology may broadly include medical devices, information technology, biotech, and healthcare services.
Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health, and disease of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism, and excretion. Public health aims to improve the quality of life through the prevention and treatment of disease, including mental health. This is done through the surveillance of cases and health indicators, and through the promotion of healthy behaviors. Common public health initiatives include promotion of handwashing and breastfeeding, delivery of vaccinations, suicide prevention, and distribution of condoms to control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Personalized medicine is a medical model that separates people into different groups—with medical decisions, practices, interventions and/or products being tailored to the individual patient based on their predicted response or risk of disease. Preventive healthcare strategies are described as taking place at the primal, primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention levels. Health comprises a variety of physical and mental states, so do disease and disability, which are affected by environmental factors, genetic predisposition, disease agents, and lifestyle choices.
Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. Women's health is an example of population health, where health is defined by the World Health Organization as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Women have long been disadvantaged in many respects such as social and economic power which restricts their access to the necessities of life including health care, and the greater the level of disadvantage, such as in developing countries, the greater adverse impact on health.
Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice. Nurses practice in many specialties with differing levels of prescription authority. Many nurses provide care within the ordering scope of physicians, and this traditional role has shaped the public image of nurses as care providers. Nurses may help coordinate the patient care performed by other members of a multidisciplinary health care team such as therapists, medical practitioners and dietitians. Nurses provide care both interdependently, for example, with physicians, and independently as nursing professionals.
Infections associated with diseases are those that are associated with possible infectious etiologies. Other methods of causation have been altered by some epidemiologists based upon sequence-based detection of distinctive pathogenic nucleic acid sequences in tissue samples. Using this method, absolute statements are not always possible regarding causation. Since this is true, higher amounts of distinctive pathogenic nucleic acid sequences would be in those exhibiting disease compared to controls since inoculating those without the pathogen is unethical. In addition, the DNA load should drop or become lower with the resolution of the disease. The distinctive pathogenic nucleic acid sequences load should also increase upon recurrence.
Clinical trials are experiments or observations done in clinical research. Clinical trials can vary in size and cost, and they can involve a single research center or multiple centers, in one country or in multiple countries. Clinical study design aims to ensure the scientific validity and reproducibility of the results. A case report is a detailed report of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient and It may contain a demographic profile of the patient, but usually describe an unusual or novel occurrence.
