Primary Healthcare Services

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

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...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Standard Precaution

Standard Precaution

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Healthcare Agencies II

Healthcare Agencies II

There are various healthcare agencies in the United States—some of which are managed by religious institutions and others by different government branches.
Parish nursing is a growing specialty nursing profession that focuses on holistic healthcare, health promotion, and illness prevention. It blends professional nursing practice with a health ministry, focusing on health and healing within the context of a Christian community. Parish nurses serve as health educators, referral sources, and lay...

Infectious Diseases and Their Occurrence

Infectious Diseases and Their Occurrence

Infectious diseases appear in populations through various transmission patterns, influenced by pathogen characteristics, population immunity, environmental conditions, and social behavior. Understanding these patterns is essential for effective public health surveillance and intervention. These categories—sporadic, outbreak, epidemic, pandemic, and endemic—help frame the nature and scope of disease events.Sporadic diseases occur irregularly and infrequently, without a predictable temporal or...

Background:

Alzheimer's disease (AD) develops over decades, yet current data collection often misses the full disease course.
Existing prediction models for AD may not reflect real-world patient experiences.
A national data infrastructure is needed to capture the complete AD trajectory and improve patient-relevant outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish the ABOARD Cohort, a Dutch national data infrastructure for studying Alzheimer's disease (AD).
To collect patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and medical data to understand the AD disease trajectory.
To link collected data with existing registries and serve as a platform for healthcare innovation.

Main Methods:

The ABOARD Cohort utilizes a participant-centered approach, collecting PROMs and minimal case report forms (CRFs) online.
Participants at risk of or with AD, along with their study partners, are recruited directly.
Data linkage with existing registries is facilitated, and stakeholder input guides project development.

Main Results:

The ABOARD Cohort enrolled 10,275 participants and 1,383 partners by October 2024.
Over 90% of participants consented to data linkage with existing registries.
Participants reporting memory problems showed worse outcomes on PROMs for mental health, cognition, quality of life, and lifestyle.

Conclusions:

The ABOARD Cohort provides a national infrastructure for studying AD trajectories with participant involvement.
This infrastructure can serve as a registry to advance AD research and provide real-world data for evaluating new therapies.
The project aims to improve understanding and management of AD by focusing on patient-reported outcomes and comprehensive data linkage.
