The ASAM Form is an ASSESSMENT tool as well as a PLACEMENT tool and seeks to match intensity of treatment to severity of illness. It is also a method for justifying clinical decisions Common Errors • Summaries are generalized and insufficient • Client does not meet criteria but is “forced” into specific level of care Dimension 1: Acute Intoxication and/or Withdrawal Potential. What risk is associated with the patient's current level of acute intoxication? Is there significant risk of severe withdrawal symptoms or seizures, based on the patient's previous withdrawal history, amount, frequency, and recency of discontinuation or significant reduction of alcohol or other drug use? Are there current signs of withdrawal? Has the patient been using multiple substances in the same drug class? Is there a withdrawal scale score available? Dimension 2: Biomedical Conditions and Complications.

INTRODUCTION We have to break the taboo on sanitation; Out of 7 billion people on earth 2.6 billion people don’t use any kind of toilet. That means 1/3 people on this planet go for open defecation. Even after being world’s third largest economy India still cannot afford toilets for 53% of its population. Every second person in India is defecating in open. Today’s flush toilets are expensive, it requires huge sewage infrastructure, uses immense amount of water. This is the reason why villages in India lack proper sanitation. Women in villages can-not delay their household work so they hold and walk, long distances to defecate. Doctors say the longer you hold urine in bladder the more infection you get. And the longer you restrain defecation intestinal difficulties start to rise. Also these women run and hide in shame of not been seen. Untreated human waste goes into rivers and streams. This pollutes water, soil, food and animals thus spreading diseases and making people sick. Traditional flush toilet is not the most effective technology. Our designed toilet could be an alternative for poor who lack sewage and septic tank. We have a dangerous model of public health system and we have to change. Innovation in sanitation can bring major changes in health of people. [pic][pic] 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1 Observation ...

...Course Essay Instructions Our Health In The Digital Age Instructions: We’re approaching the end of the term. You’ve learned how to think at a higher level this term and how to weigh information based on its level of credibility. You will now put your new thinking skills to good use. This assignment involves watching a credible FRONTLINE documentary online, and then discussing its content related to health. As you watch, you will find questions below to help you sort the information. You should pause the program to think about and write your answers in detail. If you don’t, you may end up spending time returning to rewatch portions of the program. The last question of the worksheet will ask you to use the other worksheet answers to compile a comprehensive essay discussing the program’s content and its implications on health. There is no “right” or “wrong” answer here. However, if you fail to provide a balanced perspective or if you state opinions void of justification or thorough discussion, you will earn a poor score. This program points out the positive and negative impacts of the digital age on our lives. In the end, you will need justify based on what you learned in Health 104 this term and based on the program’s information how you think technology is helping us and hurting us in terms of health. You probably already think you have an answer, but slow down…the program will bring up ideas that you couldn’t possibly have thought of on your own, but that must...

...Healthcare Data Warehousing Doug Kelley Health Informatics I Professor Lu December 7, 2012 Abstract ` Dimensional modeling lays the groundwork for data warehouses. Dimensional modeling is a similar process to traditional Entity/Relationship modeling in regards to tables (entities) having joins (relationships) with other tables via primary keys. Dimensional modeling has been used as a standard in industry for decision support systems in other areas such as transportation, production, sales and marketing. (Parmanto, 1) Because healthcare has many complex events, it has lagged behind other industries in terms of data warehousing. This paper will discuss several techniques that can help overcome these complexities. Introduction A data warehouse has been defined as a database optimized for long-term storage, retrieval, and analysis of records aggregated across patient populations, often serving the longer-term business and clinical analysis needs of an organization (Shortliffe, 932). For a data warehouse to perform these roles, it must be architected or modeled appropriately. There are a couple of different approaches to modeling data warehouses. Dimensional modeling is becoming standard approach. Background Review Designing a data warehouse for healthcare presents many unique challenges for designing a database. These include such complexities as multiple diagnoses, multiple payers, multiple physicians; primary and secondary, and late arriving data, such...

...HADM 339 – Essay Major themes in health care in Canada include access to services. Identify the issues, identify the changes you believe are needed and discuss the approach you would propose to implement these changes. Simply put, access in the health care sector refers to the ability for a patient to receive the care and services required to maintain a healthy quality of life. Access to health care services continues to be a key issue for Canadians and health policy makers.1,2 Key issues exist in several dimensions of the health care process, including access to a specialist, non-emergency surgery and non-emergency diagnostic testing. More specifically, it is the significant amount of time one will spend waiting for their opportunity to receive these services that remains a concern. Among those who had waited for specialist visits, 29% reported unacceptable waits. This was also true for 17% of patients who were waiting for a non-emergency surgery and 20% for those waiting for diagnostic testing.3 Median waiting times for all specialized services remained relatively stable between 2003 and 2005 at 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the kind of care. Approximately 18% of individuals who visited a specialist indicated that waiting for the visit affected their life, compared with 11% and 12% for non-emergency surgery and diagnostic tests respectively.4 Despite several efforts made by government agencies, access still remains one of the foremost issues identified. Billions...
