Full textThis research deals with patient participation to patient safety, which can be defined as the actions taken by patients to reduce the likelihood of medical errors and / or mitigate the effects of errors when they do occur. Patient safety in radiotherapy has become a central priority for public policies further to the recent accidents arisen at Épinal, Toulouse and Grenoble for the most symbolic. In this context, patient participation may be a way of improvement of patient safety. The general objective of this study is to understand the constructive dynamics of patient capabilities in the co-production of a safe and effective care. Patient capabilities are defined as the actual contributions made by patients to ensure the safety and effective of care.The study was conducted in the radiotherapy departments of a public hospital and of a cancer center. Several methods have been combined to analyze the work activity of radiographers, of patients and of joint activity between the two partners : observations of treatment sessions, semi-structured interviews with manipulators and patients, self- and allo-confrontations with radiographers and elicitation interviews with patients.The results describe the actual contributions carried out by patients and show that patient cooperation acts as an additional safety barrier for patient safety. The environment of care and the duration of radiotherapy (repetitive and long treatment) constitute external resources, which provide a creative opportunity for the patient to learn from the situation and to evaluate it by observing what happens. The study also attempts to analyze the factors that allow ("positive" factors) or prevent ("negative" factors) patient capacities to become capabilities, i.e. actual contributions. The positive conversion factors are relative to the patients (knowledge of risks associated to care, personal motivation), to the collective (common objective, cognitive synchronization, operative synchronization) and to radiographers (construction of a trust relationship, encouragement and positive strengthening). However, patient capabilities are not always optimized and the strong work-related temporal pressures can prevent their development.This study highlights that there is a common will of professionals and patients to go together towards a better cooperation. It also shows that patient cooperation is a necessity that remains still unknown and underexploited, while it would likely reduce the number of risky situations and patients’ risky behaviors. Even if this active participation should not be required and be an additional source of anxiety for the patient, it should be developed and encouraged

Extensive bedside monitoring in hospital Intensive Care Units (ICU) has resulted in a deluge of information on patient physiology. Consequently, clinical decision makers have to reason with data that is simultaneously large and high-dimensional. Mechanisms to compress these datasets while retaining their salient features are in great need. Previous work in this area has focused exclusively on supervised models to predict specific hazardous outcomes like mortality. These models, while effective, are highly specific and do not generalize easily to other outcomes. This research describes the use of non-parametric unsupervised learning to discover abstract patient states that summarize a patient's physiology. The resulting model focuses on grouping physiologically similar patients instead of predicting particular outcomes. This type of cluster analysis has traditionally been done in small, low-dimensional, error-free datasets. Since our real-world clinical dataset affords none of these luxuries, we describe the engineering required to perform the analysis on a large, high-dimensional, sparse, noisy and mixed dataset. The discovered groups showed cohesiveness, isolation and correspondence to natural groupings. These groups were also tested for enrichment towards survival, Glasgow Coma Scale values and critical heart rate events. In each case, we found groups which were enriched and depleted towards those outcomes.

Full textNew information technology provides access to knowledge; thanks to forums and social networks, patients can organize, constructing a community in which some patients are considered experts in their chronic disease. The nature of that expertise is unclear and controversial, however, and demands characterizations. To characterize this phenomenon we employed social constructivism and methodological individualism as a conceptual framework. Using an initial analysis grid taken from a literature review on the concepts of expert and expertise, we interviewed twelve patients socially acknowledged as having expert experience, as well as health professionals with whom they have contact in a variety of circumstances

Full textBackground: The most common route of transmission of hepatitis C is through intravenous drug abuse. Transmission can also occur through blood transfusion. There are many prejudices associated with hepatitis C. Chances are that this colors interactions with patients. It is important that healthcare professionals are aware of how their own perception of the disease may affect the encounter. The Objective was to highlight the experiences patients with hepatitis C have of the encounter in the healthcare. Method: The study was designed as a general literature review of twelve qualitative articles. Manifest content analysis was used. Results: Patients with hepatitis C had mixed experiences of receipt: welcoming, rejecting or unsafe. This led to experiences of support or discrimination. Patients experienced professional support or lack of professional support. Discrimination could be caused either by healthcare professionals or the organization. Conclusion: Because of stigma surrounding the disease patients with hepatitis C are a vulnerable group in society. The knowledge of healthcare professionals is an important part of the encounter. It requires training to provide holistic care for hepatitis C. Increased knowledge about both the disease and patient-professional relation can positively affect the encounter: the reception gets better, support increases and discrimination is reduced.

Full textIn response to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic in the country, the South African Government started with the provisioning of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) in the public health sector. Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the ART programme is of the utmost importance. The current patient information system could not supply the required information to manage the rollout of the ART programme. A data warehouse, consisting of several data marts, was developed that integrated several disparate systems related to HIV/AIDS/ART into one system. It was, however, not possible to trace a patient across all the data marts in the data warehouse. No unique identifiers existed for the patient records in the different data marts and they also had different structures. Record linkage in conjunction with a mapping process was used to link all the data marts and in so doing identify the same patient in all the data marts. This resulted in a longitudinal patient record of an ART patient that displayed all the treatments received by the patient in all public health care facilities in the province.

Full textBackground: Mental illness has in recent years increased in society. It has since centuries been seen as a shameful disease and mental illness has not been a high priority in health care. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe how adult humans with mental illness experiences the meeting with the nurse.Method: The method that was used was a literature based study with basis in analysis of qualitative research. 11 articles with a qualitative approach was analyzed. Result: The result showed two main theme. The first theme was a feeling of being seen in the meeting when an open dialogue was used and a relationship was created. The second theme was a feeling of invisible because they felt reduced to a diagnosis and encountered obstacles in the relation. Conclusion: Adult humans with mental illness could experience the meeting in different ways. A good meeting with the nurse could increase the human with mental illness trust in healthcare. It could improve the care and relationship between human with mental illness and the nurse.

Full textReading an electronic patient record (EPR) is a very challenging task because of the medical jargons, which are almost impossible to understand for the layman. This becomes a highly relevant challenge because of the more extensive use of the internet to get medical information. Also the Norwegian laws state that the patient has the right to read his or her own EPR. A master thesis executed in 2006, and a specialization project in 2007 addressed this subject and developed a prototype for adapting EPRs to a patient presentation. This thesis continues this work and aims to extend the system with more functionality and improve the translation of the EPRs. The main issues discussed in the thesis are how disambiguating between Norwegian words and medical terms, provide summaries of EPRs, and supply the patient with external information about his or her health condition. In addition the refined user interface from the specialization project was implemented. The conclusion of this thesis is that the Support Vector Machine classifier with character bigrams provides good and accurate disambiguation between Norwegian words and medical terms. The external information functionality provides correct and quality assured information from the patient hand book. There are still some issues, and possible improvements on providing only precise and relevant articles. Summarizing of EPRs is achieved through named entity extraction of ICD codes, and then presenting the codes together with their corresponding descriptions. This implementation seems to be accurate, correct, and precise.

Full textThis research questions the existential, relational, institutional and socio anthropological aspects related to the experiences of patients in their function of trainers of medical staff. The goal is is to improve the understanding of the patients’ knowledge, of the way they communicate it, of the way they interact with health professionals, and of the individual, collective, and societal processes they rely on. The theoretical frame is built around the ethical concept of Care, the sciences of education, the sociological and anthropological ways of considering the subject. The theoretical frame draws on theories concerning teaching and learning in adult education, health promotion strategies, therapeutic education, and history concerning patients, their experiences and their knowledge. The epistemology of this research is qualitative, comprehensive, and is inspired by grounded theory, using mostly direct, participative observations and action-research. On the methodological level, data are collected through interviews with patients living suffering from chronical disease. They often have gained insights from reflecting on their experience as patients, and sometimes even have created new ideas or procedures related to their disease or to care. We used data from fieldwork and available research to improve understanding on micro, méso and macro levels which resulted in the theorical and practical proposal of a new health profession : the patient as a trainer of medical staff

New team patient care models are being attempted to improve outcomes and lower the cost of care. Models of integrated and coordinated care, including the Patient-Centered Medical Home model, have demonstrated some improvements, especially for chronically ill patients. Membership in a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and presence of a diabetes diagnosis is tested and results for the chronically ill are discussed.

Full textThe French healthcare system relies on a public-private dichotomy. This difference in legal status is reflected in the actual provision of healthcare, as patients have the right to choose their preferred type of hospitalization with private sector hospitalizations now becoming predominant in France. However, patients must be granted the same rights regardless of which type of hospital they have chosen, due to the fact that patients' rights are fundamental rights, and for some of them they are constitutionally guaranteed. The implications of the specific nature of private hospitals raise questions about a potential disparity in the application of patients' rights, which would result in a different status for patients entering private hospitals
