Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

172
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.9K
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...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

229
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Drug Dosing: Obese Patients

238
In the United States, obesity is a prominent concern. It is linked to heightened mortality rates due to increased occurrences of conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes compared to nonobese individuals. A patient is classified as obese if their actual body weight surpasses the ideal or desirable body weight by 20%, based on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company data. Ideal body weights consider average weights and heights for males and females...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

193
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion01:26

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

214
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 Services Research
  • Digital Health
  • Healthcare Sustainability

Background:

  • The sustainability of the National Health Service (NHS) is a significant concern.
  • Current discussions on NHS sustainability often overlook the potential of IT-enabled patients.
  • The role of the home as a primary site for healthcare delivery is underemphasized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of IT-enabled patients in achieving NHS sustainability.
  • To advocate for recognizing the home as a central location for healthcare delivery.
  • To propose a health delivery model centered on home-based self-care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing commentary on healthcare sustainability.
  • Analysis of the patient care continuum.
  • Conceptualization of a home-centric healthcare model.

Main Results:

  • Information technology (IT) offers a powerful, yet underutilized, resource for patient empowerment.
  • The home environment is crucial for both the initiation and conclusion of the patient care journey.
  • A sustainable model necessitates proficient self-care within the home.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating IT-enabled patients is vital for the long-term sustainability of the NHS.
  • Healthcare models must evolve to prioritize and support expert self-care at home.
  • Rethinking the care continuum to center on the home can improve efficiency and patient outcomes.
