Discussion Data-driven education reduces waste by rightsizing training. Tracking clinical outcomes validates the impact on patient care. Intentional focus on closing gaps in knowledge and training in obstetric emergencies for nurses and providers may help reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
This investigation was performed for the purpose of determining whether the majority of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients have well defined symptoms during the course of the disease that make it possible to characterize thefunctional level of the patient. There are numerous classifications of the stages of AD. The simplest of these classifications divide the disease into three stages (see Table 1). 1. Onset (Light) 2. Middle (Moderate) 3. Terminal (Severe) From a predictive standpoint it is important to know definable steps in the progression of the disease and when a patient passes from one stage into the next stage. This assessment has importance both in terms of caregiving procedures as well as medicinal therapy, e.g., medication, and long term care provisions. The Alzheimer's Family Center, Inc. (AFC) has researched data on 12 AD patients who were reviewed in a two-year retrospective study (see Table 2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
