the article analyzes the influence of cultural, social, religious, scientific and technical factors on the histori-cal development, current status and future directions of development of the architecture of medical institu-tions in Yemen. The research attempted to study the features of the work of medical institutions in Yemen. The study begins with a description of the literature on a general overview of the location, geographic sec-tions, climate and economy of the port city of Yemen. The study describes the problems and factors that influence the design of medical institutions in Yemen. The current situation demonstrates a tendency to-wards centralization of attention on the patient himself and the doctor-patient system. The hospital should create the most comfortable conditions for the patient, and the medical staff acts as consultants. That is, pa-tients should receive maximum attention, sympathy and psychological assistance. Based on this position, architectural decisions should take into account the relationship between the doctor and the patient. The ar-chitectural design of medical facilities in hot climates should be carried out taking into account the regional characteristics of the environment. The choice of a construction site for the architectural and planning organ-ization of a network of medical institutions for children and adults must be made based on the general con-ditions for the development of the city and its suburban area. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study are the provisions and conclusions of the works of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of development of the architecture of medical institutions. The research used materials from scientific seminars and conferences. In the process of research, a systematic approach and logical analysis methods were used. The scientific literature notes that the modern concept of the formation of the architectural and spatial environment of urban hospitals is associated with modern medical technologies, as well as with the increasing role of medical institutions at the present stage.

Animal Venoms

Animal venoms, widespread throughout the world, are complex mixtures, the composition of which depends on the venom-producing species. The objective of this study was to contribute to the development of animal venom-based medicines by investigating the use of animal venom pharmacopuncture in Korean medicine (KM) institutions. We surveyed 256 public health centers from 1 through 31 October 2019 as guided by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MoHW). A questionnaire developed by an expert group was distributed and collected for statistical analysis. The survey identified three types of animal venom-based pharmacopuncture: bee, snake, and toad venoms. The medications are based on a single animal venom ingredient and produced in 11 external herbal dispensaries (EHDs). Each animal venom is processed, refined, and freeze-dried in a cleanroom to produce a powder formulation that is later measured, diluted, filtered, filled, sealed, sterilized, and packaged as pharmacopuncture injections used in KM institutions. Bee venom therapy is effective in treating musculoskeletal pain, snake venom therapy is effective in controlling bleeding during surgery, and toad venom therapy is effective in cancer treatment. The study suggests that bee, snake, and toad venoms could be used in medical institutions and have the potential for drug development.

Picture Archiving And Communication

As interest in medical informatization has been increasing steadily worldwide, the adoption of health information systems (HISs) in medical institutions is essential. In this study, we intended to identify users’ adoption, utilization and helpfulness derived from HISs to determine the status of medical informatization by using 2016 Korean Physician Survey data. A total of 8564 members responded to the 2016 survey, we extracted the data of 6949 HISs related part for this study. As a result, about 68% of the self-employed physicians adopted the Order Communication System and Electronic Medical Records, while only one-third adopted the Picture Archiving and Communication System. Overall, the proportions of utilization and helpfulness of HISs were higher for females; for employed physicians or professors; for physicians working in hospitals; and for those specializing in surgical medicine. As applying information technology to the medical environment becomes more important, HIS will become a necessary requirement and the demand for information systems considering user and patient oriented information environments will be increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the HISs use environment considering not only technical aspects but also users’ or patients’ viewpoints. In that respect, this study will give a meaningful evidence of HIS related policies.

Abstract Background: With the growing number of oncology patients and novel anti-tumor medications, the demand of oncology clinical pharmacy services is increasing rapidly in China. However, the current status of oncology clinical pharmacy services in China were seldom reported. The purpose of the study was to investigate the contents and features of oncology clinical pharmacy services and self-evaluations of the oncology pharmacists in China, and to identify related problems for its further development. Methods: A 55-item online questionnaire was distributed to oncology-related clinical pharmacists in Chinese hospitals in January 2019. Pharmacists answered the questions on the WeChat platform. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The respondents of the 166 valid questionnaires were from 29 provinces (or autonomous regions or municipalities). Their average working experience for clinical pharmacy was 4.86 years. The average duration of their clinical services was 3.27 hours/day. The clinical pharmacy services consist of 15 types and their workload on each service type were identified. Pharmacists thought they were not good at establishing pharmacotherapy protocols, participating in therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacy consultation and pharmacogenetic/pharmacogenomic service. About 80% (81.33%) of the pharmacists thought other healthcare professionals knew the nature of their work, and some services were very welcomed by clinical departments. The biggest barrier for career development of the pharmacists was insufficiency of professional skills. In most cases, the clinical service accounted for less than 30% of the overall performance evaluation of the pharmacists. Most of the participating pharmacists were not satisfied with their current salary. The overall evaluation score for their career wellbeing was 6.27 out of 10. Conclusions: The value of oncology clinical pharmacists is being increasingly recognized, but advanced services need further expansion. Increasing the time serving in clinical units, optimizing performance evaluation and strengthening their skills are possible ways for pharmacists to provide superior services. This study showed the current service of oncology clinical pharmacists in most parts of China, which may provide reference for policy makers, promote international communications and shed light on future development of oncology clinical pharmacy in China.
