Filter by:Preventing oral feeding delays in preterm newborns remains a stake for NICU nowadays. Indeed, it lengthens hospitalization duration, distorts parent-newborns relationships, and increases the risks of adverse nursing outcomes. Does a routine individualized developmental preventive feeding care implying parents favors earlier autonomous oral feeding achievement in preterm newborns as compared with a standardized routine program of orofacial stimulations, despite neonatal risks that every preterm newborn cumulates during hospitalization stay ?
Diabetes Self-care Education (DSCE) is a formal term used to describe the ongoing process of facilitating the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care. Supporting self-care is a crucial aspect of any health service, especially the one that targeting diabetes. It has shown a positive effect on the clinical, psychological, and behavioural aspects of diabetics. However, culturally adapted educational services that recognize the context should be established and used carefully, as most of the social media and YouTube educational products are not relevant most of the time. Diabetic patients who receive no education about their diabetes, are four times as likely to develop complications as those who do not. Oppositely, those who attending diabetes education programs are less likely to develop long-term complications. The core question of the trial is to find an answer to the question: how the Diabetes self-care information, education provided by trained health care educator at primary care is effective in controlling patterns of blood glucose, reducing BMI, and enhancing self-care behaviour among diabetic patients attending chronic care clinic compared to the control group receiving routine care for diabetes.
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of proactive and integrated healthcare program for chronic complex patients (CCP). This program are based in coordination the primary level of attention with and speciality level. The objective is reducing hospital readmissions and know the benefit in total cost of care in 4 month before and 4 after intervention.
The study is a pre-post two round, randomized controlled study design of PCPs randomly assigned to a control or 1 of 2 intervention arms.
Interactive telephony technologies offer a potentially highly effective, patient-centered communication modality by guiding parents at home through interactive discussions that can gather information and actively reinforce recommendations and treatments. Interactive telephony systems are particularly well suited for use in vulnerable populations since access to the telephone is nearly universal, and the system does not rely on reading printed text. The investigators propose to develop and evaluate an integrated patient-centered health information system, the Personal Health Partner (PHP). The PHP will use fully automated, interactive, conversations to gather personal health data and counsel parents before scheduled visits, exchange that data with the child's primary care clinician via the electronic health record (EHR), and offer personalized follow-up assessment and counseling after visits. The information technology-based approach to be evaluated in this project will link parents and children outside the clinical setting with their primary care center and will offer comprehensive assessments AND counseling to reinforce and support parental behavior change.
This study will examine whether the implementation of an outreach program that employs a tracking/reminder/recall/home visiting strategy will have any impact on receipt of immunizations and preventive care among urban adolescents.
