The Given

The expenses in Health Care are an important portion of the overall expenses of every country, so it is very important to determine if the given cares are the right ones. This work is about a methodology, Health Discoverer, and a consequent software, aimed to disease management and to the measure of appropriateness of cares, and in particular is about the data mining techniques used to verify Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) compliance and the discovery of new, better guidelines. The work is based on Quality Records, episode parsing using Ontologies and Hidden Markov Models.

Selection Of

A patient with spasms of the neck, occurring when he turned his head to the left, responded to treatment with benzhexol. Cerebral blood flow imaging demonstrated reduced uptake in the right corpus striatum compared with the left. The study demonstrates the presence of an abnormality in the basal ganglia; it also illustrates response to drug treatment. Cerebral blood flow imaging may be useful in the detection of basal ganglia abnormalities in spasmodic torticollis and assist in the selection of cases which should be targeted for treatment with drugs.

The Right

New medications can provide substantial benefits, but high prescription drug prices have led to calls to contain costs. Even after accounting for discounts and rebates, average prices of leading brand-name drugs in the United States are two to four times higher than in other wealthy countries, raising questions about what these higher prices are buying us. With the advent of ever more targeted and powerful treatments, including cell- and gene-based therapies with multimillion dollar price tags, the need for sensible drug pricing policies will intensify. Price controls, common in other countries, seem appealing, but these measures can discourage innovation. Moreover, on what basis should policymakers develop such controls? This book argues that pricing prescription drugs to reflect the value they bring to patients, families, and society achieves the right balance. The book reviews the distinguishing features of the prescription drug market and explains why simple solutions like price controls and importing drugs from countries with lower drug prices are problematic without explicit assessments of value. It then describes how economists measure value, how value assessment for drugs is now being used in the United States, and what must happen going forward to overcome challenges.

Program Components

The incarceration of persons found guilty of various crimes who are also chronic substance abusers presents an important opportunity for treatment. It is an important opportunity because they would be unlikely to seek treatment on their own, without treatment they are very apt to continue their drug use and criminality after release, and cost effective drug abuse treatment methods are now available to treat them while in custody (both during incarceration and aftercare) and significantly alter their lifestyles. Correctional authorities should now feel optimistic that chronic heroin and cocaine users with predatory criminal histories can be treated effectively. This article shares the success of the Stay'n Out and Cornerstone Programs that have been successful with serious drug abusing offenders, and the factors that make for success. It is the proper program components joined by thoughtful leadership in the right setting. These principles are generalizable and transferable to many locations.

Gagal jantung merupakan kondisi ketika otot jantung sangat lemah sehingga tidak bisa memompa cukup darah keseluruh tubuh dengan tekanan yang tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ketepatan penggunaan kombinasi digoksin dan furosemid berdasarkan aspek klinis serta pengeluaran kalium dalam tubuh. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode retrospektif  yaitu menggunakan data yang telah lalu yang diperoleh dari bagian rekam medik. Data yang diambil adalah  resep penggunaan obat kombinasi digoksin dan furosemid yang ada di poli klinik jantung pada periode Oktober – Desember 2014. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa  39 resep kombinasi digoksin dan furosemid yang menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 100 % obat berinteraksi, 100 % durasi pemberian obat sesuai dengan literatur, serta 100% penggunaan dosis sesuai dengan literatur. Hasil pemeriksaan laboratorium kadar elektrolit natrium dalam serum adalah 136 – 145 mEq/l, kadar kalium dalam serum adalah 4,4 – 4,5 mEq/l, serta kadar klorida dalam serum adalah 100 – 110 mEq/l yang menunjukkan hasil pemeriksaan laboratorium kadar elektrolit dalam tubuh keadaan normal.Kata kunci : gagal jantung, skrining, digoksin, furosemid  ABSTRACTHeart failure is a condition when the heart muscle becomes so weak that it can’t pump enough blood throughout the body at the right pressure. The aim of this research to determine the right of combination of digoksin and furosemide seen from clinical aspects as well as the expenditure of potassium in the body. This research is descriptive method. Data  collected used retrospective method used the data in the medical record. Prescription drug use a combination of digoxin and furosemide from October to December 2014. The results are 39 recipes combination of digoxin and furosemide which indicate that the drug interacts are 100%, 100% of the right duration of drug delivery, and 100%  are the right dose. Results of electrolyte level in serum sodium is 136-145 mEq / L, potassium is 4.4 to 4.5 mEq / l and chloride is 100-110 mEq / l which shows the electrolytes level in the body at the normal state.Keywords: Heart failure, screening, digoxin, furosemide
