Course of the day: Nurse Initiated Management of Anti-Retroviral Treatment (NIMART) Our 30-hour course on Nurse-Initiated Management of ART provides comprehensive training for nurses on managing HIV-infected patients. This course covers basic virology, patient assessment using WHO staging criteria and managing opportunistic infections at the PHC level. You'll learn about the prevention and management of STIs, TB in HIV settings and the rationale for ARV usage and monitoring. The course also covers ART initiation in adults and children, monitoring and managing treatment failure, adherence counselling and the management of ART in women. Additionally, you'll explore the basics of ART drug resistance. This course provides the theoretical foundation required before advancing to the practical component managed by the Provincial Regional Training Centers. Participants will be assessed through multiple-choice questions, ensuring a thorough understanding of the material.

50 year old female with prostate cancer. LVAD patient with measurable HR of 80. Cytogenetic report coming back 46XX for a male patients specimen. “Allergy: Advil” for patient who says “I take Advil at home all the time” Patient who is both a current smoker with 80 pack-years history AND denies any history of smoking. Patient who has both extensive family history of cancer and “denies any family history of cancer” Patient with wildly cyclical CBC values (find out that a Medicaid patient is sharing her ID info with family members) Sometimes the problem just continues to propagate because rather than working collaboratively to maintain the log of patient’s health, we are mostly trying to show “proof of assessment” for billing. Understand there’s very little incentive to keep patient histories truthful as possible, but knowing that wrongful information being propagated sometimes causes accumulation of extra healthcare resources - this make me concerned… how much resources are we wasting by ever-accumulating healthcare data, including that of data teams.
I help residents and new inpatient doctors / APP’s bill, write notes faster and reduce lawsuits by streamlining documentation (without fancy EMR tricks). | Have transformed 700+ with my video courses.
In April 2021, a medical assistant checked in a patient and reviewed her past medical history. All it took was a single click for an incorrect diagnosis to enter the medical record. The MA clicked the "+" by HIV but entered "no" in the comments. It seems obvious she meant to show that the patient did NOT have HIV. The human meant one thing. The EMR saw something different. Since that day, the patient had "HIV" in her past medical history and this was included in countless physician notes for over 3 years, being carried forward without question. There's much talk about the dangers of copy / paste, the problem list, and diagnostic momentum in medicine... but this is one where a human-computer misunderstanding introduced an inaccuracy for years. In this case, I think the EMR is pretty well designed. The user-interface is pretty obvious. Besides educating the MA, how do we prevent this from happening again?

Why are sample collection kits so important? Specimen collection has been paramount in disease diagnosis, and since the global pandemic, they have proved a realistic solution to remote collection. Now, thousands of kits are developed each year for the safe collection and transportation of biomedical samples, giving the patient the power to seek diagnosis quickly. From blood collection to urine collection, HPV screening to sexual health, at-home sample collection has transformed the way the healthcare ecosystem operates. The challenge is ensuring integral samples, speedy distribution and safe transport. The answer? RDi’s complete portfolio of off the shelf kits! All our kits are CE marked and MHRA registered, shipped directly to your patients. Find out more here > https://bit.ly/4f4gZeo #SampleCollection #Diagnostics #HealthcareSystem

Host and Creator of the Physician's Guide to Doctoring Podcast | CEO of Doctor Podcast Network | Otolaryngologist - Head and Neck Surgeon | Partner at ENT and Allergy Associates | Medical Expert Witness
During his time away from clinical medicine, Dr. Kyan Lynch discovered a new passion: education. It started with a role in academic detailing for HIV prevention, where he helped clinicians across New York State incorporate pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP) into their practices. This wasn’t the kind of education tethered to a lecture hall. It was boots-on-the-ground, one-on-one teaching that prioritized behavior change over data dumps. In this role, Dr. Lynch unearthed two critical truths about himself. First, he loved educating. Second, he was really, really good at it. His journey led him to a new mission: helping other physicians embrace their unique voices, leverage their expertise, and build personal brands in the medical education space. Through his consultancy, ALOE Digital Solutions, and his widely-read newsletter, MedEdge, Dr. Lynch empowers doctors to navigate the digital world and make their mark as educators and thought leaders.
