Disheartening consequence of the new administration's HHS policies - postponement of Externally-led PFDD meetings that are (were?) part of the FDA's commitment to Patient-Centric drug development

The second half of the consultation in PLAB 2 (and the second domain you’re marked on) is management. One of the biggest mistakes doctors make is to just manage the diagnosis and not the whole situation that the patient has disclosed to you in the first half of the consultation ( that’s if you’ve done the data gathering correctly - see my previous post) So they may have told you something that is going on in their life, or something they are worried about, something to do with their lifestyle that could be contributing to their condition. If you ignore these factors and just go straight into the guidelines for managing the condition, say asthma, you won’t be managing the whole situation and ultimately you will lose marks. Even though some of the factors you may not be able to do anything about, you must acknowledge them in the management stage to show the examiner you are trying to manage the complete picture that the patient has presented to you and not just the main medical issue.

?? On this 6th World Patient Safety Day, be focused on diagnosis process. ?? Don’t underestimate the pivotal role of a correct and timely diagnostic, that could lead to the most adapted therapeutic treatment. ???The right patient receiving the right medicine at the right dose, by the right route, at the right time. ?? A good diagnosis with an adapted therapeutic for a better patient’s compliance. ?? “Get it right, make it safe!” #Patient #Compliance

World Asthma Day is held each May to raise awareness of asthma, and this year's theme “Asthma Education Empowers” shines a light on the importance and need to empower people with asthma with the knowledge to effectively control their symptoms, minimize asthma attacks, and understand when to seek timely medical assistance.

Wow!! The numbers continue to increase as we see in FDA and TJC reports related to sterilization and high level disinfection for endoscopes. The root cause of the data is multifactorial. Often the pressure to push for higher volume and revenue from procedures becomes the focus with a negative outcome of sentinal events. The proactive approach is to make sure the procedural area can reprocess endoscopes safely with all the proper tools and supplies, IFU is being followed per each scope model, staff are trained and competent to understand every critical step in reprocessing endoscopes and prevent cross-contamination. Identifying repair needs and frequent maintenance of your endoscopes are critical to reuse the medical device safely. We have a lot of work to get these numbers down!

In the world of youth sports, being diagnosed with asthma of any kind serves as a massive roadblock. As someone who has lived through this as a teen, I understand how living with this condition can hinder a child's ability to develop as an athlete and more importantly, prevent them from playing the sports they love. It's great to hear that the FDA has approved this expanded indication for children with severe asthma, and it's an even better thing to know that companies like AstraZeneca are working towards improving the quality of life of youth athletes with this condition. #FDAapproval #severeasthma #pediatrics
