One Health and Information Management Using Big Data in Health

In an increasingly connected world, information regarding the contagion and spread of COVID-19 has been an important weapon to enable better coping with the disease. The use of information technology can assist in the prevention, care, and monitoring of patients. In addition, remote service using applications avoids the overload of health centers and contagion. This research reports the experience of a research project initiated in Brazil at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, with the objective of developing an application and big data for the new coronavirus in a public health clinic using information management and One Health concepts. Initially, the application requirements were defined through interviews with users and health professionals. The partial results obtained so far demonstrate improvements in the different processes of the health center with the use of the application. The use of big data for the analysis of information makes it possible to define better health policies for the population in a more precise way and in a shorter time.

Perancangan Ulang Tata Letak Fasilitas Gudang Klinik XYZ Menggunakan Metode Dedicated Storage

In a warehouse facility layout design including a health clinic, the layout design of warehouse facilities and production storage areas plays a very important role, it is impossible for the manufactured goods to be distributed directly to all customers. For this reason, there is a need for a good storage area and storage system to simplify the production process. Clinic XYZ is a 24-hour public health clinic, located in a sub-district in North Sumatra, to be precise in Medan Deli District. The problem that occurs is the random arrangement of goods in the warehouse without paying attention to storage and arrangement patterns that depend on the position of the empty warehouse. Based on observations, it is known that the time span needed to look for drugs at the clinic is too long, so this will make it difficult for employees / operators to manage the products to be stored or retrieved from the drug warehouse. One of the warehouse design methods that can be used is the dedicated storage method. Dedicated storage is a method of placing a specific location or storage area for each item stored. In this study, the types of drugs were classified into drugs, solid types of drugs, semi-solid drugs, liquid drugs and gas drugs. Based on the results obtained, the number of slots needed in the drug product warehouse is 11 slots, the total floor area needed is 13.2 m2, the area needed for storing medicinal products with an alley area is 6.8 m2, the percentage of area that is not used for storage the product in the medicinal product warehouse is 34% and the diagonal length of the hand truck when carrying the box is 1.56 m.

Challenges and Barriers to HIV Care for Mexican Born Men Living in Chicago

Background: Latinx men are disproportionately impacted by HIV. Research often looks at Latinx people as a heterogeneous population. This paper describes baseline characteristics and barriers to HIV care among Mexican born men enrolled in an HIV care engagement intervention at a public health clinic in Chicago. Methods: Survey and medical chart data were collected. Results: 66 Mexican born men enrolled in the project. Over half (60%) were newly diagnosed; 40% were reengaging in care or establishing care for the first time. Participants reported significant pre and postmigration concerns including poverty, social stigma, late entry to care, and concurrent health concerns, including 47% screening positive for depression. Barriers to care and mental health concerns were significantly related to Stage 3 HIV. Discussion: More prevention and intervention research is needed to ameliorate the negative socioeconomic and health ramifications of immigration and bolster mental and sexual health, reduce HIV transmission, and increase testing, linkage and care retention.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE "BOMB" METHOD (BREASTCARE, OXYTOCIN MASSAGE, AND MARMET TECHNIQUE) ON INCREASING BREAST MILK PRODUCTION IN BREASTFEEDING MOMENTS AGE 0-6 MONTHS AT PRAMBON PUBLIC HEALTH CLINIC, NGANJUK DISTRICT

The problem experienced by breastfeeding mothers is that the milk is not released on the first to the third day post partum. As a result, newborns who are supposed to be breastfed early will be delayed and as an alternative are given formula milk. The smoothness of the process of lactation or the production and production of breast milk is influenced by breast care, frequency of breastfeeding, maternal psychology, maternal health, and contraception, as well as breast milk production, which is strongly influenced by physical, psychospiritual, environmental and social. Efforts to stimulate the hormones prolactin and oxytocin can be done with breast care or massage, oxytocin massage, nipple cleansing, early and regular breastfeeding and marmet techniques or milking and massage techniques. The "BOM" method (Breastcare, Oxytocin Massage, and Marmet Technique) is a stimulation to help the production and release of breast milk through breast care, oxytocin massage (massage or stimulation of the spine) and marmet technique (a combination of expressing breast milk and massaging the breasts) ). Mothers breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months at Public Health Clinic Prambon Nganjuk Regency in a preliminary study of 5 (five) mothers breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months, do not know how to make a lot of milk production using "BOM" through structured interviews. The research objective was to assess the effectiveness of the BOM (Breastcare, Oxytocin, and Marmet Teachnique) method in increasing breast milk production. This study uses a quasi-experimental method. It was carried out at the Prambon Health Center with a total sample of 60 people and used the Mann Whitney U Test analysis. The results obtained from 60 samples were a p value of 0.000 <0.05, so it can be concluded that there were significant differences between the two groups, where the BOM method (Breastcare, Oxytocin, and Marmet Teachnique) was very effective on breast milk production.

Trading Futures

In this article, we explore what happens when idea(l)s of Islamic charity (sadaqah) and social enterprise converge within a low-cost public health clinic in Colombo, Sri Lanka. For both the clinic’s wealthy sponsors and the urban poor who use it, interpreting the intervention as a pious expression of care toward the poor or as a for-profit humanitarian venture meant extending different futures to the poor. The ambiguous temporalities of gifts and commodities anticipated by benefactors and beneficiaries involved in this challenges anthropological assumptions concerning the marketizing effects of neoliberal development interventions. Our ethnography revealed a hesitancy among the clinic’s sponsors, managers, and users to endow the intervention with a final interpretation, undermining its stated goal of promoting health care privatization and “responsibilization” of the poor.
