Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

CleanCase Device-Specific Smart Sterile Covers Going on Sale | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it

SteriDev, a Lansing, Michigan firm, is releasing the first device-specific sterile mobile device coverings. The CleanCase coverings are FDA-compliant and allow surgeons, technicians, and other clinical staff to use smartphones and tablets even in the operating room (OR).

These days, it can be quite a hassle to bring a smartphone in the OR, making it difficult to document and share details about a procedure, take quick notes about something, or simply to photograph a clinical curiosity.

Peter Mellow's insight:

"photograph a clinical curiosity" With the patients permission and informed consent of course!

I pull teeth out for a living. Informed consent is a daily conundrum | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
As a health care provider I must source informed consent, but too often this comes down to a form that patients haven't read a word of. Does that form then hold any value, asks oral surgeon Krati Garg.
