Imaging Studies II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

394
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

1.5K
Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

393
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Overview and Classification

193
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a clinical practice that measures specific drug levels in a patient's blood at designated intervals to ensure the drug concentration stays within a therapeutic range. This monitoring is crucial for optimizing individual dosage regimens, enhancing therapeutic efficacy, and minimizing drug-related toxicity. TDM is vital for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, significant variability in pharmacokinetics, and a clear correlation between plasma levels and...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Patient Safety Surveillance

Background:

  • Traditional patient tracer and leadership WalkRounds programs for identifying quality and safety issues have shown inconsistencies in application, results, and sustainability.
  • A need exists for a more consistent and efficient method to survey healthcare facilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a Peer-to-Peer Interdisciplinary Patient Tracer program.
  • To assess compliance with National Patient Safety Goals.
  • To proactively identify risks in inpatient, ambulatory, and procedural settings.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a Peer-to-Peer Interdisciplinary Patient Tracer program.
  • Assessment of compliance with National Patient Safety Goals.
  • Identification of inpatient, ambulatory, and procedural risks.
  • Program operational for over 5 years with annual expansion.

Main Results:

  • 96% of frontline leadership reported satisfaction with the program.
  • 100% of leaders would recommend the program.
  • A mean absolute change in performance scores of 15% from 2014 to 2018.
  • All survey findings initiated improvement projects.

Conclusions:

  • The Peer-to-Peer Interdisciplinary Patient Tracer program offers a consistent and efficient approach to surveying healthcare facilities.
  • The program strengthens internal peer-to-peer surveillance, engages leadership, and creates accountability for improvement.
  • This integrated program advances institutional improvement in healthcare quality and safety.
