Secondary Outcome Measurement Analysis

Lead practice that promotes individuals’ health and choices and control over the outcomes they want to achieve (O3.3, O3.4, O4.4)

In my voluntary work as a first aider, I often need to make critical decisions based on assessing both seen and unseen signs and symptoms regarding someone health, while in the clinic I need to consider longer-term judgments about someone's wellness. The ongoing structured training I have undertaken and adhering to guidelines means that I can make these decisions in s consistent, fair and repeatable manner, which keeps everyone safe. Having an understanding of evaluating the short-term or long-term outcomes according to established or agreed criteria, is crucial to decisions based on assessing evidence.

One of the most physically painful days in my entire life was March 10th 2015, it was the day I found out I had appendicitis. That morning I woke up to my lower right side hurting pretty bad and throughout that day it continued to get worse. I wasn’t sure what was wrong at the time and my parents thought it may have been my appendix, so I looked up the symptoms I had on the internet which came up with appendicitis. Needless to say that was absolutely terrifying. After many hours in the Emergency Room, lots of blood work, and a CT scan, I did indeed have appendicitis and would need to have surgery that night.

Process evaluation aims at understanding your program by understanding it more fully and whether it is functioning it as intended

Methods include nasogastric tube, nasoduodenal tube, colonoscopy, oral fecal capsules, and self-administered enemas (Boyle et al., 2015). There are many advantages to using the colonoscopy approach, they include the fact that you can instill the stool along the length of the entire colon as well as visualize the colon for any abnormalities (Boyle et al., 2015). Despite the great advantage of using the colonoscopy method, it is associated with risk for complications such at perforation, infection, bleeding, pain, and furthermore the additional cost of anesthesia (Boyle et al., 2015). No matter the method they all have generally high success rates. According to the Oprita et al. study, 100% of their patients had a resolution of symptoms after treatment (2016). Similar results were shown in the Youngster et al. study where they had an overall cure rate of 90%

Outcome: decreased incidence of ignorance in regards to what procedure or patient case is best for the patient, plus a higher rate of efficient and beneficial treatment for patient.

Introduction: Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) can help improve patient-care provider communication and may be used to inform interdisciplinary care for Low Back Pain (LBP). To garner potential benefits of using PROMs, clinicians need to be able to integrate PROMs into their clinical workflow and interpret scores to support treatment planning. Professional interventions tailored to implementation barriers may enhance clinicians to increase the routine use of PROMs.

analgesia as it tends to cross the blood brain barrier. Thus, it won’t serve the purpose

The mortality rate during treatment or surgery has inclined 45% (Department of Health, 2008). Due to the early intervention, the pressure on acute services and the possibility of hospitalization has been effectively reduced. According to the UK 's Department of Health 's Whole System Demonstrator (WSD), there were respectively 20% and 14% reduction in emergency admissions and hospitalization. Consequently, it is expected that the saved resources and potential savings for clinician and responding time would bring about better specialist care for individual patient, and get more effective treatment.

Roughly 15% of acute abdominal pain cases presenting to emergency department are of intestinal obstruction. Manifestation of intestinal obstruction can vary from fairly suitable appearance with mild abdominal pain and distension to a state of hypovolemia or septic shock (or each) requiring an emergency operation. Despite the fact that the mortality due to intestinal obstruction is reduced with higher information of pathophysiology, development in diagnostic techniques, fluid and electrolyte correction, potent anti-microbials and surgical control, nonetheless mortality ranges from 3% for simple obstruction to as high as 30% whilst there's vascular compromise or perforation of the obstructed bowel. That is further influenced by way of the medical

addition, it could be a substitute for invasive methods in older ages that endoscopy may

Introduction: Clinical guidelines recommend interdisciplinary care for individuals with chronic low back pain (LBP). The use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) is a critical component of the interdisciplinary intervention for LBP to improve the quality of care. However, using PROMs is perceived by interdisciplinary clinicians as the most complicated component. Therefore, it is important to identify the most appropriate intervention that will address barriers and support clinicians’ application of PROMs.

In the present series, the EWL results of SG were as good as those of GB. SG after GB gave similar results to those obtained by a successful GB procedure. Our results showed that a second restrictive procedure can be performed after failure of GB. Complications were less frequent in the SG group but were more serious. The reoperation rate under general anesthesia was lower in the SG group. There was no significant difference in terms of quality of life between the three groups.

The choice of the pain management strategies depends on different factors including the site and the nature of the surgery, type and intensity of pain, co-morbidities and the ongoing clinical condition of the patient.

I worked alongside Anne, Anudi and Malak. It was a very fun experience working with them for our final performance task. First, we all worked together to brainstorm our product and decided what we are going to do. We decided which course texts we were going to connect to, which would be possible to include each of our “scents” in order to creatively relate to it. Each member of the group did initial research to decide on what essential oil each wants to do. We shared our findings and approved of each other’s choices. We decided to put all our essential oils into one bottle, with a secret ingredient “X”. We each got to choose specific winners to give our secret formula to. Each essential oil was accompanied by a specific yoga pose. In order to let the
