Patient Referral Guidelines
SULTANATE OF OMAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH MANUAL ON PATIENT REFERRAL GUIDELINES SECOND EDITION – 2004 DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF HEALTH AFFAIRS 1 PREFACE Patient Referral system is the back-bone of health services infrastructure, offering highest possible levels of health services to each and every member of the community through a network of Primary, Secondary, & Tertiary Health Care providing institutions. MOH assigns high priority to this essential component of health services, evidenced by a recent National Workshop and revision of the Manual on Patient Referral Guidelines within five years of publication of the previous edition of the manual. Manual on Patient Referral Guidelines has been revised in consideration with the changing needs of the community, rapid development of health services in Oman, and changing concepts in the medical profession. We have also attempted to make the referral system even more patient friendly, as well as making the manual user-friendlier. Following changes in the manual (and policies therein) make it simpler to read and understand, despite further elaboration of referral protocols and inclusion of beneficial and relevant information. 1. Permissibility of skipping service levels with certain explicit criteria applied. Thereby, offering referring clinicians a margin to select appropriate referral institution and save precious time of patients, making the referral system more patient friendly. 2. Necessary amendments in the Patient Referral Form, making it suitable to serve the purpose as an appointment request form and monitoring the referral system as well. 3. Revision of concepts and definitions for referral assessment criteria, and their incorporation in Monitoring & Reporting system. 4. Inclusion of scientific definitions for clinical categories of referrals i.e. -

Review Style Sheet
xxxxxxxxxx Canadian Military Hospitals at Sea 1914-1919 Jonathan C Johnson, OTB S there was an ocean between Canada and the fighting during WWI, the movement of casualties needing lengthy treatment required special arrangements. Many of the Acasualties returning home, especially in 1915 and 1916, came back to Canada on relatively empty troop ships (ex-passenger ships) and were accompanied by a small medical team. The more serious casualties came home on either hospital ships or ambulance transports, most of which were equipped as floating convalescent hospitals. Hospital ships and ambulance transports generally were identically equipped. The former were commissioned naval auxiliaries painted white with green stripe and large red crosses and protected by the Geneva Convention (Figure 1). The latter were normal naval auxiliaries painted troop ship colours that sailed in convoy and were not protected by the Geneva Figure 1. Colour postcard of HMHS LETITIA with the correct Convention. Like most military colour scheme for a commissioned hospital ship under the Geneva Convention. units each ship had an ‘Orderly Room’ where mail could be posted and, if lucky, picked up upon arrival at port. Military service personnel overseas could post mail unpaid. For much of the war, the Canada Post Office added postage upon arrival in Canada so postage due would not be applied. Canada had six hospital ships and ambulance transports during WWI. Of this number, two were lost while in service. A return trip from Liverpool to Canada and back took one month. HMCHS PRINCE GEORGE The HMCHS PRINCE GEORGE was Canada’s only naval hospital ship. -

Hattendorf: The Idea of a “Fleet in Being” in Historical Perspective THE IDEA OF a “FLEET IN BEING” IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE John B. Hattendorf he phrase “fleet in being” is one of those troublesome terms that naval his- torians and strategists have tended to use in a range of different meanings. TThe term first appeared in reference to the naval battle off Beachy Head in 1690, during the Nine Years’ War, as part of an excuse that Admiral Arthur Herbert, first Earl of Torrington, used to explain his reluctance to engage the French fleet in that battle. A later commentator pointed out that the thinking of several Brit- ish naval officers ninety years later during the War for American Independence, when the Royal Navy was in a similar situation of inferior strength, contributed an expansion to the fleet-in-being concept. -
Virtually Connecting Corpsmen, Providers, and Patients to Increase Readiness
M. G. Obringer et al. Virtually Connecting Corpsmen, Providers, and Patients to Increase Readiness Michael G. Obringer, Damon C. Duquaine, Michael J. McShea, Sheila R. Dyas, Sara R. Gravelyn, Matthew P. Sawicki, Rachel A. Lancaster, Valerie J. Riege, Curtis L. Null, and Jenny M. Tsao ABSTRACT Engineers from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) collaborated closely with the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery to conduct essential research, analysis, design, integration, and testing and evaluation of a new care delivery model for active-duty service mem- bers. APL engineers established relationships with their colleagues at all levels of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. These relationships proved to be critical in the engineers’ understanding of stakeholder requirements, while a tailored systems engineering approach created a learning model to meet the needs of the population. Through systems and industrial engineering, APL was able to implement a proof of concept that demonstrated a scalable, long-term connected health solution for Navy Medicine.
