Standards of care for younger women with breast cancer, Breast Cancer Care:"As a younger woman with breast cancer you may find yourself facing a number of issues and concerns that are different to those experienced by older women.
Breast Cancer Care has developed standards of care for younger women to make sure your specialist needs are not overlooked during treatment.
These standards provide information about key issues you may want to discuss with the health professionals involved in your breast cancer treatment and care. They also advise on the kind of information and support you should be given access to as a younger woman with breast cancer." ******************************************************
Standards Of Medical Care For Older People, British Geriatrics Society:"This document describes the British Geriatrics Society's recommendations for standards of care for specialist services for older people and those with whom they work. It is envisaged the document will be of value to health professionals, primary care groups, NHS managers, general practitioners and voluntary agencies, in addition to geriatricians, old age psychiatrists and specialist registrars." ******************************************************
Standards of Medical Care for Patients With Diabetes Mellitus, American Diabetes Association:"Diabetes is a chronic illness that requires continuing medical care and patient self-management education to prevent acute complications and to reduce the risk of long-term complications. Diabetes care is complex and requires that many issues, beyond glycemic control, be addressed. A large body of evidence exists that supports a range of interventions to improve diabetes outcomes.
These standards of care are intended to provide clinicians, patients, researchers, payers, and other interested persons with the components of diabetes care, treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care. While individual preferences, comorbidities, and other patient factors may require modification of goals, targets that are desirable for most patients with diabetes are provided. These standards are not intended to preclude more extensive evaluation and management of the patient by other specialists as needed. For more detailed information, refer to Skyler (Ed.): Medical Management of Type 1 Diabetes (1) and Zimmerman (Ed.): Medical Management of Type 2 Diabetes (2)." ******************************************************
Mental Health Standards of Care, California Coalition For Ethical Mental Health Care:"On December 10, 1998, editors of USA Today, in the "Our View" section, charged that the treatment guidelines which drive most HMO coverage decisions "aren't grounded in science but are cookbook recipes" designed to minimize HMO expenditures. The guidelines set standards for the length of hospital stays for various conditions, including mental disorders, and criteria for tests and medical procedures.
In response, under the heading "Another View," Dr. James Schibanoff, director of clinical guidelines research at Milliman & Robertson, Inc., the company that publishes and sells treatment guidelines to managed care companies, defended their product." ******************************************************
CHI STANDARDS OF HOSPICE CARE FOR CHILDREN, Children's Hospice International:"Principle: Children with life-threatening illnesses and their families have special needs. Hospice services for children and their families offer developmentally appropriate palliative and supportive care to any child with a life-threatening condition in any appropriate setting. Children are admitted to hospice services without regard for diagnosis, gender, race, creed, handicap, age, or ability to pay." ******************************************************
Standards of Care for Gender Identity Disorders, The Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association's:"The Purpose of the Standards of Care. The major purpose of the Standards of Care (SOC) is to articulate this international organization's professional consensus about the psychiatric, psychological, medical, and surgical management of gender identity disorders. Professionals may use this document to understand the parameters within which they may offer assistance to those with these conditions. Persons with gender identity disorders, their families, and social institutions may use the SOC to understand the current thinking of professionals. All readers should be aware of the limitations of knowledge in this area and of the hope that some of the clinical uncertainties will be resolved in the future through scientific investigation." ******************************************************
Health Law Standards of Care for Transsexualism, Health Law Project:"These new Standards of care were developed and adopted by consensus after a two year period by the Health Law Project of the International Conference on Transgender Law and Employment Policy. The Health Law Project's membership includes professionals in the fields of law, health care policy, and gender science, most of whom are transgendered themselves.
The Health Law Standards of Care were developed in the wake of widespread dissatisfaction by many in the transgender community with the Harry Benjamin Standards of Care. Also relevant is the pending de-listing of transsexualism per se as a mental disorder from the DSM-IV. Many, if not most, of the patients doctors see for gender medical services (hormones; surgery) do not require any psychological services." ******************************************************
Medical Experts & Establish Standards of Care in Malpractice Cases, Lectric Law Library:"The courts have delegated the setting of professional standards to members of the various professions. This is in contrast to the standards for nonprofessional skills, such as driving a car. The legislature establishes the rules of the road, and a lay juror is deemed capable of determining when they have been violated. In contrast, legislatures do not adopt detailed standards for professional practice. Medical practice standards are drawn from the customs and behavior of the members of the profession. If the profession has developed documents that reflect a consensus on how the profession is to be practiced, these documents will set the standard for judging individual transgressions." ******************************************************
Assuring Cultural Competence in Health Care: Recommendations for National Standards and an Outcomes-Focused Research Agenda, Office of Minority Health Resource Center:"This project makes recommendations for national standards for culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) in health care. Based on an analytical review of key laws, regulations, contracts, and standards currently in use by federal and state agencies and other national organizations, these standards were developed with input from a national advisory committee of policymakers, health care providers, and researchers. Each standard is accompanied by commentary that addresses the proposed guideline's relationship to existing laws and standards, and offers recommendations for implementation and oversight to providers, policymakers, and advocates." ******************************************************
Setting Standards in Medical Practice, The Royal College of Physicians:"The Royal College of Physicians aims to ensure high quality care for patients by improving standards and influencing policy and practice in modern medicine. It sets standards for clinical practice, conducts examinations, defines and monitors education and training programmes for physicians, supports doctors in their practice of medicine, and advises the Government, public and the profession on healthcare issues. It has over 11,000 Fellows worldwide." ******************************************************
Health Law Standards of Care for Transsexualism, International Conference on Transgender Law and Employment Policy, Inc. Transgender.com:"Health Law Standards of Care for Transsexualism first adopted at the 2nd International Conference on Transgender Law and Employment Policy, August 1993 in Houston, Texas, U.S.A.
Principle 1. Transsexualism is an ancient and persistent part of human experience and is not in itself a medical illness or mental disorder. Transsexualism is a desire to change the expression of one's gender identity." ****************************************************** ****************************************************** For Health Information you can use, Follow, Connect, Like us on (Most Invites Accepted): http://www.nursefriendly.com/social/: Twitter! http://www.nursefriendly.com/twitter Blogger: http://4nursing.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.nursefriendly.com/facebook Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nursefriendly Nursing Entrepreneurs, Nurses In Business, http://nursingentrepreneurs.ning.com/ Posterous.com, http://nursefriendly.posterous.com StumbleUpon, http://www.nursefriendly.com/stumbleupon
