Seamless care

The focus on disease state management and outcomes will require that data on a patient s dmg therapy be accessible to both hospital and ambulatory care providers. The pharmacist can play an integral role in the coordination and dissemination of these data. For example, institutional pharmacists will need to establish communication links with pharmacy providers in other settings to ensure optimal and seamless care. ... [Pg.508]

All in all, we would do well do revisit these recommendations, particularly those dealing with seamless care and computerized records. The patient orientation urged by Lowy for pharmacists has certainly spurred the clinical movement in this part of the world. [Pg.793]

Integrated electronic information systems can facilitate provision of seamless care as patients move among ambulatory, acute, and long-term care settings. [Pg.39]

Although the exact terminology may vary, seamless care is a concept that has been viewed widely as a fundamental component of the optimal delivery of health care services. Several different health professions, including nursing, occupational therapy, and others, have published studies in which seamless care was provided within the context of their own practice environments. Where seamless care is provided, effort is placed on developing multidisciplinary teams that work together across any transitions of care that may arise. ... [Pg.42]

Problems stemming from care that is not seamless are not limited to patients who are moving from a hospital to the community. Equahy important is the provision of seamless care from the hospital to long-term care setting and the community pharmacy to the hospital pharmacy setting. [Pg.42]

Psychiatric services are usually provided by separate mental health Trusts, so different record systems and protocols may make it harder to provide seamless care. You ll usually need to document in both medical and psychiatric notes, though it s often possible (and more useful to medics) to write briefly in the medical notes, while documenting the full history in the psychiatric notes. [Pg.501]

The continuing care plan, developed prior to discharge from treatment into aftercare, is constructed with the different spheres and zones of recovery in mind. The ultimate goal of the continuing care plan is to help the client move into this new phase of recovery as seamlessly as possible. So, like the treatment plan (remember Chapter 4), the continuing care plan should be comprehensive but not overly intrusive, should be simple enough to follow, and should be developed collaboratively with the client prior to discharge. [Pg.237]

The vibrating faces are opposite each other in the rectangular cross-section geometry and so the possibility exists for the severe erosion of these faces. For this reason the design of such apparently simple flow reactors must be handled with care. Unless the pipe is seamless then high-powered ultrasonic vibration is also likely to find any weaknesses in the welded construction, particularly at corner joints. [Pg.290]

Floors Commonly used floor finishes for biopharmaceutical clean rooms include sheet vinyl installed using heat-welded or chemically fused seams to provide a seamless surface. Troweled epoxy and epoxy paint (Figure 11) have also found wide use. Compatibility of the floor material with solvents, chemicals, and cleaning agents to be used in the room must be considered. A minimum 4-in. cove at the junction of floor and walls is recommended to facilitate cleaning. Some modular wall systems have a recess or offset that permits sheet vinyl to be installed in a manner that creates a seamless junction between floor and wall. When a stick-built approach is used, care should be taken to design cleanable intersections of walls and floors (Figure 12). [Pg.218]

Consortium (CIC), that developed a set of seamless— plug and play —point-of-care communication standards. Adherence to these connectivity standards ensures that POCT devices meet critical user requirements, such as bidirectionality, device coimection commonality, commercial software intraoperabihty, security, and QC and/or regulatory compliance. The design of the standards was based on (i) the use of a proven architecture and notation, (2) the use of existing standards and architectural patterns wherever possible, (3) a focus on services that would enable software intraop-erabihty and add value to overall functionality, and (4) a reduction in the complexity of device communications. [Pg.309]

Clinical pharmacy evolved into pharmaceutical care, which included therapeutic outcome monitoring and disease-state management to improve quality of life and minimize long-term health costs. Pharmacists are now receiving compensation from third-party payers for such cognitive services and have expanded their clinical skills.There is a move by more and more states to seek prescriptive authority for pharmacists, enabling seamless and effective monitoring and treatment of patients, especially those with chronic diseases on maintenance therapy. ... [Pg.718]

One of the more significant developments in Australia has been the publication of the Australian Pharmaceutical Advisory Council s National Guidelines to Achieve the Continuum of Quality Use of Medicines Between Hospital and Community. This 1998 publication contained seven principles that are recommended to be followed to help to attain a high level of seamless pharmaceutical care (Table 4—3). [Pg.43]
