Pareto Chart00:52

Pareto Chart

7.4K
A Pareto chart is a bar graph or a combination of both line and bar graphs. The bar lengths represent the individual values or the frequency, while the lines represent the cumulative total values. In this chart, the longest bars are arranged on the left and the shortest bars on the right, which makes it easier to read and interpret the data. It can also be called a Pareto diagram or Pareto analysis.
The Pareto chart is named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who described the Pareto...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.0K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

2.0K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

4.3K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

346
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.7K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Dynamics

Background:

  • Malaysia reported its first COVID-19 case on January 25, 2020, escalating to 169,379 confirmed cases and 630 deaths by January 20, 2021.
  • The nation endured three distinct waves of the pandemic, with the third wave, commencing September 8, 2020, marked by a significant increase in daily cases.
  • Key drivers of the third wave surge included the Benteng Lahad Datu cluster in Sabah and the Tembok cluster in Kedah.

Discussion:

  • The escalating daily confirmed cases present immense challenges for healthcare workers and frontline responders.
  • The article emphasizes the critical need to reassess the COVID-19 situation and re-strategize containment approaches.
  • Sustaining normal healthcare services, particularly for lower-income populations, necessitates a paradigm shift in public health strategy.

Key Insights:

  • The third wave's rapid spread was significantly influenced by specific large-scale clusters.
  • Urgent re-evaluation of public health strategies is vital to curb the ongoing transmission.
  • Addressing non-communicable diseases remains a priority, as they are leading causes of mortality in Malaysia.

Outlook:

  • Expediting the Tobacco Control Bill is recommended to support public health initiatives.
  • A unified national response, transcending political, racial, and religious divides, is essential for pandemic control.
  • The sustainability of healthcare services requires adaptive strategies and policy reforms.
