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.
In recent years, hospitals in Denmark have sharpened their focus on hygiene. A few years ago, the regional hospital in Horsens was named 'innovation hospital'.
More than 10,000 patients were diagnosed with covid in a U.S. hospital last year after they were admitted for something else, according to federal and state records analyzed exclusively for KHN. The number is certainly an undercount, since it includes mostly patients 65 and older, plus California and Florida patients of all ages.
Anthony Fox was a young father of two with a career in the public service ahead of him when a stroke knocked him down. But it was an antibiotic-resistant superbug that meant he would never again properly get back up.

Learn about the threat of global health pandemics and how we can respond to them effectively, with this course from the experts at Griffith University.

Growing evidence shows most infected people aren’t spreading the virus. But whether you become a superspreader probably depends more on circumstance than biology.
Hospital-acquired infections are all-too common. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one-in-25 hospitalized patients will contract an infection, and approximately 75,000 will die each year as a result. Even if an infection is not lethal, it can increase the length of a patient’s hospitalization, significantly increase costs and lead to substantially poorer overall outcomes. UCLA has been taking steps to mitigate these risks.
About this course: This course introduces learners to a variety of infectious diseases using a patient-centered, story-based approach. Through illustrated, short videos, learners will follow the course of each patient’s illness, from initial presentation to resolution. Integrating the relevant microbiology, pathophysiology and immunology, this course aims to engage and entice the learner towards future studies in microbiology, immunology and infectious diseases.
The patient-centered videos included in this course were created as part of the Re-imagining Medical Education initiative, led by Charles Prober MD, Senior Associate Dean of Medical Education at the Stanford School of Medicine. This initiative was the first of its kind to explore the collaborative creation of foundational medical education online content by inter-institutional teams of faculty.
