Triple Aim framework

/0 Comments/in /by

Think of a situation in which the Triple Aim framework could help you adapt to changes in the delivery of patient care. How could you use the framework to reduce the per capita cost of healthcare in your own work environment to better align the needs of your organization with 21st-century healthcare practice? Provide an example, either within your work environment or in society at large, of when an ethical or legal dilemma impacted your organization.

5. Pathophysiologic rationale of treatment

 

The summary will discuss three topics:  Mood disorders (Depression) and Anxiety disorders (GAD/ Phobias/ Panic attacks/ OCD)

 

Etiology:

Neurotransmitters altered in each condition, in which brain area (This will be the pathophysiologic rational of treatment)

 

Pathogenesis & Clinical pictures:

How these neurotransmitter alterations can lead to the clinical manifestations.

Symptoms of each type and subtype (subtypes of anxiety disorders) of these disorders

 

Diagnosis:

Based on the clinical picture (DSM-V criteria of diagnosis)

  • Explain (in general) how the clinical picture depends on the vessel involved and the functional brain area/s supplied by this blood vessel.
  • The most common presenting symptoms of stroke with its two types
  1. Diagnosis:
  • The test that differentiates between the two types of stroke
  • Further tests to confirm the diagnosis of ischemic stroke.
  1. The pathophysiologic rationale of treatment:

Explain the importance of excluding the possibility of hemorrhagic stroke before starting to treat ischemic stroke.
