Italy has a consolidated history of de-institutionalization, and it was the first country to completely dismantle psychiatric hospitals, in order to create small psychiatric inwards closer to the community (i.e. in general hospitals). Nevertheless, it took the nation nearly 40 years to end the process from the beginning of de-institutionalization, definitely closing all of the forensic hospitals, which was not addressed by the first Italian psychiatric reform. This paper describes the establishment of new facilities substituting old forensic hospitals, called Residences for the Execution of Security Measures (REMS), which are a paradigm shift in terms of community-based residential home, and are mainly focused on treatment and risk assessment, rather than custodial practices. The use of modern assessment tools, such as the Aggressive Incident Scale (AIS) and the Hamilton Anatomy of Risk Management (HARM), is crucial in order to point out the focus and consistent instruments of the treatment plan. A preliminary analysis of data from the first 2 years of activity, considering severely ill patients who have been treated for more than 12 months, is then described for two REMSs in the Lazio region, close to Rome. Encouraging results suggest that further research is needed in order to assess clinical elements responsible for a better outcome, and to detect follow-up measures of violence or criminal relapse after discharge.

Early childhood caries (ECC), also known as milk bottle caries is a syndrome of severe tooth decay, occurs ininfants and children, is an infectious disease that develops rapidly and lead to health problems in children. Thissyndrome can be caused by inappropriate use of bottles. Most cases of untreated ECC to children aged 20 months.At this stage many children need serious treatment, because this will result in trauma to both the children andparents. The most common treatment ECC and other dental diseases have been included in each treatment ofdisease. Efforts to educate families about dental hygiene and practice start a diet, the high rate of recurrence of anyevidence of disease ranging from tooth decay to the failure of the treatment plan resulted in the need for specialattention to this disease. This paper is expected to be a good input for a dentist in the treatment of ECC

Care Coordinator

Care coordination is the deliberate organization of patient care activities between two or more participants (including the patient) involved in a person’s care to facilitate the appropriate delivery of health care services. Organizing care involves the marshalling of personnel and other resources needed to carry out all required patient care activities. It is often managed by the exchange of information among participants responsible for different aspects of care [1]. With an estimated 85% of individuals with Spina Bifida (SB) surviving to adulthood, SB specific care coordination guidelines are warranted. Care coordination (also described as case management services) is a process that links them to services and resources in a coordinated effort to maximize their potential by providing optimal health care. However, care can be complicated due to the medical complexities of the condition and the need for multidisciplinary care, as well as economic and sociocultural barriers. It is often a shared responsibility by the multidisciplinary Spina Bifida team [2]. For this reason, the Spina Bifida Care Coordinator has the primary responsibility for overseeing the overall treatment plan for the individual with Spina Bifida[3]. Care coordination includes communication with the primary care provider in a patient’s medical home. This article discusses the Spina Bifida Care Coordination Guideline from the 2018 Spina Bifida Association’s Fourth Edition of the Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida and explores care coordination goals for different age groups as well as further research topics in SB care coordination.

Background: The availability and popularity of oral anti-cancer therapy has recently increased. In this shift of delivery, control over downstream steps in the process moves to patients, families, and the extended care team. Unique challenges have been identified including effective patient education, adherence, and monitoring. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to standardize the approach to initiating oral anti-cancer patient care. Methods: A quality improvement team developed and implemented a standard approach for before, during, and after initiation of oral anti-cancer therapy. Key components included ensuring completion of informed consent, electronic orders within an evidence-based treatment plan, and adherence monitoring with a specific emphasis on patient education. Education prior to initiating therapy was standardized through both an education folder and one-on-one teaching sessions with an oncology nurse. A voluntary, anonymous 4-question paper survey (deemed clinical quality improvement by the IRB) solicited feedback from patients to assess both the educational materials and teaching session. Questions included perceived acceptability of the content and whether materials guided conversation, provoked questions, and complimented the teaching. An opportunity for comments was provided. Results: A 3-month collection period yielded overwhelmingly positive results. 100% of patients (n=18) felt the education materials provided were “just right” and provoked discussion with the care team. 94% of patients felt the educational materials and teaching session were complimentary. Conclusions: As oral anti-cancer therapy becomes more common, it is vital to form a collaborative partnership with the patient, family, and the extended care team to ensure overall success. Standardized educational content supports the transfer of expert knowledge to ensure adherence, management, and patient safety, ultimately improving patient outcomes. A standard approach that includes informed consent, orders within a treatment plan, adherence monitoring, and patient education prior to initiating oral anti-cancer therapy is one way to ensure quality, comprehensive patient care.
