Quality Medical Care

Access by all children to high-quality medical care must be the goal of all pediatricians. There are many reasons why all of this care cannot in the foreseeable future be given by pediatricians. These include factors of geography, economics, family education, and comfort, and episodic versus continuity medical care, as well as aggregate manpower figures. Dr. Hoekelman's presentation (Pediatrics 59:315, March 1977) addresses the issue, but his argument is poorly served by the undocumented statement that "there are no data to show that pediatricians do a better job in delivering primary care to children than do family practitioners."

The pandemic of a new coronavirus infection caused the need to reorganize the work of emergency medical services (EMS) due to the high contagiousness and mortality, multiple organ lesions, difficulties in diagnosis and the lack of protocols for providing medical care to patients at the prehospital stage.The purpose and objectives of the study is to assess the activities of the ambulance service in the context of a new coronavirus infection in Krasnodar.Materials and methods: data of the information base of the integrated automated system for managing the activities of the ambulance station SBIHC KEH of the Ministry of Health Care of the Krasnodar Region in Krasnodar.Results. А differentiated approach and algorithm was developed for assessing the severity of the condition in patients with COVID-infection and ARVI, their routing and organization of treatment in Krasnodar.Conclusion: an assessment of the work of the ambulance service in combination with the measures taken during the observation period will ultimately allow organizing high-quality medical care to the population.

Background: We sought to study the impact of foot complications on 10-year mortality independent of other demographic and biological risk factors in a racially and socioeconomically diverse managed-care population with access to high-quality medical care. Methods: We studied 6,992 patients with diabetes in Translating Research Into Action for Diabetes (TRIAD), a prospective observational study of diabetes care in managed care. Foot complications were assessed using administrative claims data. The National Death Index was searched for deaths across 10 years of follow-up (2000-2009). Results: Charcot's neuro-osteoarthropathy and diabetic foot ulcer with debridement were associated with an increased risk of mortality; however, the associations were not significant in fully adjusted models. Lower-extremity amputation (LEA) was associated with an increased risk of mortality in unadjusted (hazard ratio [HR], 3.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.50–4.12) and fully adjusted (HR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.28–2.63) models. When we examined the associations between LEA and mortality stratified by sex and race, risk was increased in men (HR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.25–3.07), Hispanic individuals (HR, 5.17; 95% CI, 1.48–18.01), and white individuals (HR, 2.18; 95% CI, 1.37–3.47). In sensitivity analyses, minor LEA tended to increase the risk of mortality (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 0.92–2.40), and major LEA was associated with a significantly higher risk of death at 10 years (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.18–3.01). Conclusions: In this managed-care population with access to high-quality medical care, LEA remained a robust independent predictor of mortality. The association was strongest in men and differed by race.

Currently, there is a lot of effort that is been done to optimize healthcare management for patients with hereditary angioedema, but there are still difficulties in the regions. Epidemiological data on hereditary angioedema indicate a low level of diagnosis. In several regions, patient pathway have been developed with a detailed description of the different steps on the patient healthcare journey. The patient pathway is a key component of high-quality medical care with optimal timeliness and financial costs. The article is devoted to the organization of hereditary angioedema patients’ pathway.

Due to the complicated epidemiological situation in the region, the number of calls to the emergency station has increased. In order to prevent a decrease in operational work, a number of changes were introduced which made it possible to reduce the time of arrival of the teams from the moment the call was received at the 103 console to 7 minutes and contributed to the provision of high-quality medical care to the population by emergency medical teams.

Key Parameter

AbstractClinical pharmacists have advanced training that enables them to manage medication therapy, including prescribing, titrating, and discontinuing medications, in order to achieve therapeutic goals. In some countries, such as the United States, advances in training, responsibility, legal frameworks, and public acceptance of new roles have proceeded in parallel to expand the scope and contribution of clinical pharmacists over several decades. In this manuscript, we detail seven discrete key parameters of professional advancement for clinical pharmacists, corresponding to the seven areas in which they must advance in order to contribute fully to delivering high-quality medical care. For each key parameter, we briefly summarize the progress made in the United States to date, as well as goals for future progress. We then compare this to the development of the analogous key parameter in Israel. We found that on some key parameters, the development of clinical pharmacy in Israel lags behind the United States. This manuscript can provide a roadmap for the future advancement of clinical pharmacy in Israel, toward its full realization as a profession that can contribute to delivering high-quality medical care.
