Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Pediatric Palliative Care
Digital Health

Background:

e-Health, utilizing the internet and health information technology, offers potential benefits for healthcare quality and cost reduction.
Current e-Health applications predominantly serve adult populations, with limited research on pediatric palliative care interventions.
A gap exists in understanding how e-Health can be integrated into pediatric palliative care.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the role of e-Health in pediatric palliative care programs.
To describe current internet usage in the United States and within palliative care.
To outline health information technology adoption in the United States and palliative care.

Main Methods:

Literature review of internet use in the US and palliative care.
