Care Practices

 A wide variety of traditional health care practices associated with child health care and cord care are prevalent. Traditional health care practices can be broadly categorized into three subgroups: useful, harmful and harmless. The harmful practices should be identified and should be eliminated or replaced with safer alternatives. Few of the practices are beneficial, safe and should be encouraged. Also, few practices are harmless and there seems no harm in continuing them. Ayurveda has dealt with newborn care Jatmatra paricharya and Nabhinal kartan is a part of it. Many of the newborn care practices mentioned in Ayurveda are beneficial and safe. There is an urgent need to systematically study the utility, futility and possible dangers of a large number of traditional health care practices.

Slum Areas

The aim of the paper is to know the health care practices of adolescent girls living in the slum areas of Sylhet city, Bangladesh, understand their health and hygiene issues including treatment, pregnancy, menstruation, vaccination, housing, water and sanitation related challenges they face in their daily lives. The study was based on primary sources of data; however the secondary data e.g. official documents, books, journals, policy papers etc. were used to conduct the study. The study followed qualitative research approach and the case study method to generate sufficient primary data. The study reveals that adolescent girls of slum areas face some menstruation related physical health problems e.g. abdominal pain, irregularity in menstruation cycle, excessive bleeding etc. Sometimes the guardian and doctor do not give much importance on it. The study findings show that adolescent girls of slum areas face multiple health care challenges including low level of personal hygiene, carry on treatment cost, lack of appropriate water, housing and sanitation facilities, etc. The study also highlights that family poverty, behavior of doctors, high cost of medicine, illiteracy of guardian etc. are responsible factors for low uptake of health care services. Therefore, the study suggests for coordinated efforts from the government, local government and voluntary agencies to upgrade their service delivery system.

Effective Use

ABSTRACT Health care practices increasingly rely upon Electronic Medical Records (EMR). EMR systems impact the daily operations and generate additional legal obligations. Effectively implementing an EMR system requires review of the state and federal regulations. EMR access, automation and aggregation of a comprehensive medical record benefit providers. However, each benefit poses substantial risk to the privacy and security of patient information. Vulnerable wireless or internet access, quick unsecured transferability and improper access of the patient’s entire record are implicit within an EMR system. Therefore, providers should perform a risk assessment and implement legally directed safeguards. The national implementation of an “electronic national health record” emphasizes the numerous risks and practical considerations arising through expansive access, automation and aggregation. The government is currently attempting to resolve such risks to ensure the effective use of EMR systems for all providers and patients. Protecting patient’s privacy and security is a daily challenge.
