Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

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...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Public Health
Infectious Diseases
Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

Gonorrhea and chlamydia infections are highly prevalent in young adults.
University campuses are key settings for addressing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among this demographic.
Low screening rates for STIs pose a public health challenge in young adult populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To enhance provider knowledge of CDC guidelines for gonorrhea and chlamydia screening.
To implement a multifaceted intervention to increase STI screening rates in a university health clinic.
To evaluate the impact of provider education and reminder systems on STI screening and testing.

Main Methods:

A quality improvement project was conducted at a university health clinic.
Providers and staff received education on guideline-directed STI screening.
Interventions included EHR alerts, patient questionnaires, and a project champion.
Screening and testing rates were compared pre- and post-intervention.

Main Results:

Gonorrhea and chlamydia screening rates increased from 2% to 65.85%.
STI testing rates rose from 7.90% to 17.86%.
The interventions demonstrated a significant improvement in screening and testing practices.

Conclusions:

Provider education on STI screening guidelines is effective in increasing screening rates.
Multifaceted interventions, including EHR reminders, enhance the implementation of screening protocols.
This quality improvement project successfully improved gonorrhea and chlamydia screening and testing among university students.
