This chapter describes how a therapeutic team is a term defining all qualified healthcare workers, who are actively participating in the treatment, care and rehabilitation processes of a patient. Depending on the type of department or institution where a patient is staying, he can come across numerous therapeutic teams. A therapeutic team consists of a group of people, who fulfil a treatment process together. Their cooperation may result on the most effective strategy to provide care, due to every member of a team being a source of information about the patient and his afflictions. Professional development of every member of a therapeutic team is an important component in improving quality of provided services, which effects the increase of a patient's satisfaction level. Therefore, its role is incredibly important. Moreover, professional development is a process that takes place during a human lifespan and is associated with activities, achievements, but also with existence, expression and self-realization.

Garbage Code

ABSTRACT Introduction: Reliable cause-of-death statistics are an important source of information on trends and differentials in population health. In Brazil, the Mortality Information System is responsible for compiling cause of death (CoD) data. Despite the success in reducing R-codes ill-defined causes of death, other garbage codes (GC), classified as causes that cannot be the underlying CoD, according to the Global Burden of Disease study, remain a challenge. The Ministry of Health (MoH) aims to decrease the proportion of all GCs, and a pilot study tested a comprehensive strategy to investigate GC deaths that occurred in 2015. Methods: The research was conducted in seven Brazilian cities during five months in 2016: two rural cities, one metropolitan area, and four capitals. For all GCs selected, municipal healthcare workers collected information about the terminal disease from hospital records, autopsies, family health teams, and home investigation. The fieldwork was coordinated at Federal level in partnership with State and municipal teams. Results: Out of 1,242 deaths selected, physicians analyzed the information collected and certified the CoD in 1,055 deaths, resulting in 92.6% of cases having their underlying cause changed to a usable ICD-10 code. Discussion: It is noteworthy the capacity the health teams in the seven cities showed during the implementation of the pilot. Conclusion: After results analysis, the GC investigation protocol was modified, and the implementation scaled up to 60 cities in 2017.

Background/Aim: Our aim was to investigate the effect of on-line HDF versus high-flux (HF) hemodialysis (HD) on a patient's health-related satisfaction level. Methods: Overall, 72 patients, on regular low-flux HD for 51 ± 26 month mean age of 54 ± 12 years, were randomized to HF (group 1, n = 36) and to HDF (group 2, n = 36) and followed up for 24 months. Assessment was based on the patient's satisfaction level using modified questionnaires of the validated Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form (KDQOL-SF) version 1.3. Results: The HDF group achieved a higher satisfaction level than the HF group (p < 0.0001) with less cramps (3 ± 5 vs. 55 ± 8), itching (9 ± 10 vs. 48 ± 10), joint pain and stiffness (24 ± 10 vs. 83 ± 8), and improvement in general mood (94 ± 9 vs. 28 ± 16), sexual performance (57 ± 10 vs. 5 ± 5), and social activity (82 ± 9 vs. 15 ± 8). Conclusion: High-efficiency postdilution on-line HDF versus high-flux HD significantly improved patients' satisfaction and quality of life, including social, physical, and professional activities.

According to the dominant view, the quality of individual scientific papers can be evaluated by the standard of the journal in which they are published. This paper attempts to demonstrate the limits of this view in the field of economics. According to our main findings, a publication frequently serves as a signal of high professional standards rather than as a source of information; referees and editors frequently reject good papers and accept bad ones; citation indices only partially balance the distortions deriving from the selection process; there are essential “entry costs” to the publication process. Moreover, financial interests of publishers may contradict scientific interests. As long as leading economists do not give voice to their dissatisfaction, there is no hope for any reform of the selection process.
