Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis V01:28

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...

Area of Science:

  • Military Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Deployed health care providers require specialized medical consultations.
  • Army Knowledge Online (AKO) offers an email-based teleconsultation service for infectious disease support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact and utility of the AKO infectious disease teleconsultation service.
  • To assess if teleconsultations influenced patient care or evacuation plans.
  • To determine the timeliness and clarity of teleconsultation responses.

Main Methods:

  • A performance improvement project was conducted.
  • Health care providers using the service between January 2010 and December 2010 were surveyed.
  • A 9-question survey assessed the helpfulness, impact on care/evacuation, timeliness, and clarity of responses.

Main Results:

  • 123 consults were received, primarily from Afghanistan and Iraq.
  • Responses were provided within an average of 3.3 hours.
  • Surveys (n=87) indicated high satisfaction: Response Helpful (4.6/5), Response Timely (4.8/5), Recommendations Clear (4.6/5), Response Answered Your Question (4.8/5).
  • Teleconsultation influenced care (3.3/5) and evacuation plans (1.8/5).

Conclusions:

  • The infectious disease teleconsultation service is timely, helpful, and relevant.
  • The service plays a crucial role in guiding patient evacuation decisions.
  • AKO teleconsultation enhances medical support for deployed personnel.
