13.01.2022 I love this saying... but it leaves me asking 'What is 'health'? "The currently accepted definition, formulated by WHO in 1948, is no longer helpful and is even counterproductive. Its emphasis on complete physical, mental and social wellbeing was radical in its day for stepping away from defining health as the absence of disease. But it is absolute and therefore unachievable for most people in the world. This definition would leave most of us unhealthy most of the time http://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d4817 I think asking patients "What does 'healthy' mean for you?" would be a great place to start, working with their definition, their goals...

01.01.2022 HMR anyone... One in five hospitalisations of older Australians is due to avoidable drug adverse reactions, a Tasmanian review has found. Hypotension and dizziness are the most common adverse events, according to pharmacy researchers from the University of Tasmania who have analysed records of 1008 patients over 65 with an unplanned hospital admission.... Here are their key findings: Of 1008 admissions, 191 (19%) are related to drug adverse reactions Almost 90% of these admissions are preventable Cardiovascular medications (eg, frusemide) are most commonly implicated Reactions are due to wrong dose, frequency, indication, drug interactions, lack of monitoring or non-compliance Patients are hospitalised for six days on average Elderly patients are the most vulnerable average age is 82 Half the reactions are due to drug combinations, with patients taking an average of 11 medications One in 50 patients had a fatal outcome (eg, severe hypotension due to diuretic, ACE inhibitor and beta blocker). Cardiovascular medications prescribed to elderly patients need thorough and regular scrutiny as these medications were frequently implicated in ADRs, the researchers concluded.
