a guide for institutional leaders, businessmen of the sector, associations, centres professionals and care services to older people and citizens in general.

Spain, 2011-December Given the extraordinary reception and countless requests, the Department of employment and Social Affairs of the Basque Government has had to re-edit a 2nd Edition of the publication of the recognized expert in social gerontology, Teresa Martínez Rodríguez psychologist: “LA care GERONTOLOGICA CENTERED on the person”: Guide to professional intervention in schools and care services to older persons in situations of fragility or unit ”.

Opt for a model of attention focused on the person – bet reliably of the Basque Government, entails give a core role in the self-determination of the people users. From this model, the center of attention, and therefore the Organization and assistance processes, is each person and their life projects.

The respect for the dignity of the individual as being unique, their rights, preferences and the search for personal well-being are essential in the Eastern values model of care, even in cases where there is a significant degree of cognitive impairment. However, the implementation of these principles in the day to day services and centres, sometimes subject to numerous organizational standards, working conditions and healthcare routines, often remain pending or encounter significant difficulties. This requires awareness-raising and training, as well as develop new professional roles, review some organisational systems and designing interventions in accordance with this new look.

This is the reason that led to the Basque Government in collaboration with the Matía group to edit the Guide: the need to conceptualize this model as well as provide the methodological basis allowing its application in welfare centres and care services to older persons in situations of fragility or unit.

Its author, Teresa Martínez Rodríguez, is a recognized expert in social gerontology that’s combines professional experience in intervention and in the planning of social policies, teaching and authoring various publications related to applied Gerontology.

This guide sets out five important issues for the development of this model in elderly care services and facilities: a) the personalized attention from the promotion of self-determination and independence, b) intimate, private and confidentiality; (c) Likewise, the everyday, the significant; ((d) families and and) the organizational and professional. For each of these issues are presented both the ideas and key values and strategies of intervention and instruments to implement them. Also covers the main risks arising from the routine of the day to day, which can lead to drifts of the model.

Notably, the pedagogical and applied nature of this document. A novel and useful tool that will enable professionals, managers and leaders in the sector public health (homes, day centres, home support services), progress in the implementation of a care model focused on people in everyday contexts of intervention.

This document since it saw the light its 1st Edition is being recommended by different media and by numerous specialized portals and colleges and professional associations Spain and Latin America, enabling many of them access and download in digital format.

This web application is managed by the hospital and pays special attention to the security and confidentiality of the data.

Madrid, December, 2011. CysNET Software, Application Partner of InterSystems Iberia, launches patient portal solution “ turnkey ” folder of health personnel, developed on InterSystems Ensemble ® integration platform.

CysNET Software, company that specializes in developing Web applications for the general public, has paid particular attention to the safety of all components and existing legislation to develop this solutioncollaborating so with lawyers specializing in LOPD (organic law on data protection) and LSSI (society of information and electronic commerce services Act). This ensures that the service conforms to compliance with the legislation, is highly secure and consists of services audited for the confidentiality of the patient and their consent.

The resulting solution, folder of health personnel, is a web application, managed by the health centre or care hospital and upon request of the patient, gives access to it the reports of the HCE. The Web Portal for the patient acts as the public interface of the Hospital and the application allows staff to manage applications or configure the public portal.

The patient Portal can download existing in your HCE reports, register data on their health (levels of glucose, blood pressure, etc.) constants keep updated personal information and consult / cancel their appointments. You can also provide other own medical reports that the Center’s staff will determine if they are relevant, and incorporating them into the HCE.

The solution is modular and delivered fully operational (turnkey) allowing to rapidly deploy a service of added value for patients, and at the same time, download the Department of documentation of the health centre in facilitating reporting patients requesting them.

Clinical information lies solely in HIS Center, transferring temporarily to the platform at the request of the patient. The reports of the HCE downloaded by the user are signed by the system before serving. The web server only uses SSL3/TLS secure protocols.

Each centre can establish additional security measures. The hospital chooses whether access should be undertaken through digital certificate or through a simple, opening up the use of the folder to chronic sick and elderly who also tend to be more interested in accessing their data. The information is managed by an authorized Professional and data security is guaranteed by storing them on a secure server; the data temporarily stored are deleted when it ends the session and, finally, not deleted information is encrypted, automatically, so that it can not be read or used.

The solution supports the attendance of a high number of users, that has been developed on the database cache Server Pages technology InterSystems cache ®, embedded in Ensemble.

The Spanish request is to invest more resources in the prevention of health care associated infection.

|

The Spaniards call is to invest more resources in the prevention of infections associated with caring for the health.

A new report from MindMetre Research takes the pulse to the opinion of the Spanish on infections nosocomial.

-Seven out of every ten Spaniards believe that the Government should devote more resources to eliminate infections associated with health care, also known as hospital infections or nosocomial, according to a new report prepared by MindMetre Research

-the report also revealed that 78% of the Spanish claims that it would require to the hospital in question if you enter into an infection During his admission or treatment

– because studies have shown that investment in a policy of preventive measures (including control of hygiene and the active detection) can significantly reduce the rates of nosocomial infections, investment in them should be a priority as a saving policy, according to concludes the report

London, 2011-December Spain has one of the rates of MRSA infection (Staphylococcus aureus resistant to Methicillin) higher in Europe, and this rate is not falling significantly (1). The cost of hospital infections is a constant which stays every year in our country, and which is a huge and unnecessary burden to the health system. This burden can be reduced substantially, both in terms of health outcomes in terms of costs, by investing in preventive measures. With the double financial threat of treatment costs and the increase in the possibility of litigation by patients, the authors of the report drawn up by MindMetre Research trust that prevention policy will increase in coming years.

José Luis Gómez, Director-General for Spain and Portugal of the company’s medical technology Becton Dickinson (BD), says: “this research MindMetre Research sheds light on the need to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections in Spain, and lead to the kind of descending trajectory that has occurred in other countries.

“”There is sufficient evidence that comprehensive policies of prevention, including a strict control of hygiene and programmes of active detection of MRSA, can achieve this goal, at the same time posed a net savings in the costs of treatment of MRSA infections”.

“ During the last 15 years, nosocomial infections have been the Fifth cause of claim both in frequency and in economic strength. Would if we did an average of the amounts that have been reserved for these adverse events be talking about two million euros each year in anticipation of payment sentences for this cause ”, adds Carlos Fernández Herreruela, Medical Director risk consulting and management of insurance Aon Risk Solutionsproviding another decisive argument.

In order to improve the knowledge of the population about hospital infections, it is necessary to use various channels of communication can create maximum impact on public opinion. MindMetre Research report has identified and assessed the capacity of main channels to influence the public with regard to hospital infections, for example: GPS (68%), statements of celebrities (51%), social (31%) or networks religious institutions (23%).

The MindMetre research company conducted the study and the technological company medical BD, which supported the survey through a scholarship, helped MindMetre to identify the relevant areas of research and provided specialized medical sesoramiento and contacts.
