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. -

The Evolution of Hospitals from Antiquity to the Renaissance
Acta Theologica Supplementum 7 2005 THE EVOLUTION OF HOSPITALS FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE RENAISSANCE ABSTRACT There is some evidence that a kind of hospital already existed towards the end of the 2nd millennium BC in ancient Mesopotamia. In India the monastic system created by the Buddhist religion led to institutionalised health care facilities as early as the 5th century BC, and with the spread of Buddhism to the east, nursing facilities, the nature and function of which are not known to us, also appeared in Sri Lanka, China and South East Asia. One would expect to find the origin of the hospital in the modern sense of the word in Greece, the birthplace of rational medicine in the 4th century BC, but the Hippocratic doctors paid house-calls, and the temples of Asclepius were vi- sited for incubation sleep and magico-religious treatment. In Roman times the military and slave hospitals were built for a specialised group and not for the public, and were therefore not precursors of the modern hospital. It is to the Christians that one must turn for the origin of the modern hospital. Hospices, originally called xenodochia, ini- tially built to shelter pilgrims and messengers between various bishops, were under Christian control developed into hospitals in the modern sense of the word. In Rome itself, the first hospital was built in the 4th century AD by a wealthy penitent widow, Fabiola. In the early Middle Ages (6th to 10th century), under the influence of the Be- nedictine Order, an infirmary became an established part of every monastery. -

MILITARY HOSPITALS in the MAKING Major-General W
J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-109-01-06 on 1 January 1963. Downloaded from 36 MILITARY HOSPITALS IN THE MAKING Major-General W. R; M. DREW C.B., C.B.E., Q.H.P., F.R.C.P. DURING the last 300 years England has shown an increasing concern for the constant care of her sick and wounded. Many successful generals and other officers command ing have long appreciated that the outcome of a campaign can depend on the medical services. Broadly it can be said that the evolution of army hospitals has followed closely their civil and naval counterparts, and that following each war improvements have been accomplished in the organization of military hospitals and medical services. It is probable that the first military hospital to be established in this country was that in Porchester Castle in 1563 which was required for the care of the casualties from the gallant garrison of Havre (Stewart 1950). The next was in Dublin where an army hospital was built and equipped in 1600, but this w{s closed when James I by guest. Protected copyright. reduced the garrison in Ireland. At the beginning of the sixteenth century there were still no proper arrangements for the collection and transportation of'those wounded in war. Usually the victorious general arranged for the local country people to carry away and treat the w~unded left behind on the battlefield. In this period there was no separate medical organization . for either the Army or the Navy. Among the famous surgeons to serve in both of these Armed Services were William Clowes (1540-1604), John Woodall (1569-1643) and Richard Wiseman (1622-1676), all of whom published works on the treatment of battle casualties. -
An Analysis of the Contributions of the Medieval Muslim Scholars to Medical Science
Manarat International University Studies, 5(1), 2015 ISLAM AND MODERN SCIENCE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE MEDIEVAL MUSLIM SCHOLARS TO MEDICAL SCIENCE Dr. Muhammad Obaidullah ABSTRACT The primary objective of this paper is to depict the real-time contributions made by the Muslim scientists and researchers in the area of medical science during the medieval period. Many inscribed write-ups, books and Encyclopedias have been written and published on the various areas of medical science by the eminent Muslim scholars during the medieval period. It is acknowledged by the prominent scientists, historians and philosophers that the contributions of Muslim researchers prevalently shaped the science and philosophy into the form that we see it today. However, there is a tendency in the western society to ignore the contribution of Muslim scientists in the historical development of medical science. Western writers have given little prominence to Islamic Scientific and intellectual contributions to this field. But the fact is that the Muslims carried the torch of science in an age when no other civilization was capable of doing so. The current study would also shed light on the underlying reasons as to why Muslims today are not able to contribute to the development of sciences including the medical science like their golden age. This will conclude by furnishing some suggestions to improve the current devastating state of Muslims in the development of sciences. The methodologies applied in this study are descriptive and analytic. Keywords: Science, Medical Science, Scientist, West, Islam & Muslim, 1. INTRODUCTION From the very beginning Islam encouraged the pursuit of science and favored progress. -
The New York City Standards for Respectful Care at Birth (NYC Standards)
Implementation Toolkit Practice Guidance The New York City Standards for Respectful Care at Birth (NYC Standards) Purpose: This document is intended to support MCH professionals to implement a practice found in the Implementation Toolkits. This resource provides the information needed to replicate the practice and is divided into two sections: the first section provides a high-level overview of the practice while the second section describes how to implement the practice. For additional information on any of the content provided below, please reach out to the practice contact located at the bottom of this document. Section I: Resource Overview Practice Description The New York City Standards for Respectful Care at Birth (NYC Standards) were co-created by the Sexual and Reproductive Justice Community Engagement Group (SRJ-CEG) and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) to inform, educate and support pregnant, birthing, and parenting people with regard to their human rights, and encourage them to be active decision-makers in their healthcare experiences. The 29 NYC Standards are organized into 7 overarching categories: Education, Quality of Care, Informed Consent, Decision- Making, Dignity and Nondiscrimination and Support. In July 2015, the NYC DOHMH convened the SRJ-CEG in order to co-create respectful, equitable, culturally grounded, and community-driven means of promoting sexual and reproductive health and justice in NYC. Drafting, publishing and promoting the NYC Standards was one success of SRJ-CEG’s Birth Justice campaign, which aimed to 1) support community members and providers to advocate for respectful care at birth, 2) increase application of best practices for respectful care at birth within health care institutions, and 3) mobilizing stakeholders and changing institutional policies and practices to support the use of the sexual and reproductive justice framework and community-led initiatives and accountability. -

XIX. Yüzyılda Piyano Ve Osmanlı Kadını*

Yüzyıl Osmanlı Devleti’nin idari ve sosyal alanda büyük değişimlere uğradığı bir çağdır. Devletin yapısal değişiminin yanında sosyal alanda da birçok değişim gözlenir. Bu sosyal değişimlerden biriside müzikal dönüşümdür. Batı müziğinin Osmanlı topraklarında kabul görmesiyle birlikte bu müziğin en mühim sazı (enstrümanı) olan piyano hem Osmanlı Sarayı’nda hem de “Osmanlı kentlisi” arasında Avrupai görünümün ve müzikal estetiğin simgesi olarak yaygınlaşır. Bu değişim rüzgârları Osmanlı kadınını da içine alır. Kadın sultanlar, devlet adamlarının kızları ve hâli vakti yerinde olan aileler özel hocalar aracılığıyla piyano eğitimi almaya başlarlar. Müzikal dönüşüm, kadınların sosyal hayata katılımlarını kolaylaştıracak bir basamak olur. Yetenekli Osmanlı kadını piyano icra etmekteki maharetini gösterir. Gerek saray gerekse toplum içerisinden fevkalade kadın piyano icracıları ve besteciler çıkar. Bu çalışmada Osmanlı müzikal dönüşüm süreci piyano ve piyano icracısı Osmanlı kadınları üzerinden değerlendirilerek sosyal dönüşümün açıklanması amaçlanmıştır.

A Vivid Research on Gundīshāpūr Academy, the Birthplace of the Scholars and Physicians Endowed with Scientific and Laudable Q
SSRG International Journal of Humanities and Soial Science (SSRG-IJHSS) – Volume 7 Issue 5 – Sep - Oct 2020 A Vivid Research on Gundīshāpūr Academy, the Birthplace of the Scholars and Physicians Endowed with Scientific and laudable qualities Mahmoud Abbasi1, Nāsir pūyān (Nasser Pouyan)2 Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Medical Ethics and Law Research Center, Tehran, Iran. Abstract: Iran also known as Persia, like its neighbor Iraq, can be studied as ancient civilization or a modern nation. Ac- cording to Iranian mythology King Jamshīd introduced to his people the science of medicine and the arts and crafts. Before the establishment of Gundīshāpūr Academy, medical and semi-medical practices were exclusively the profession of a spe- cial group of physicians who belonged to the highest rank of the social classes. The Zoroastrian clergymen studied both theology and medicine and were called Atrāvān. Three types physicians were graduated from the existing medical schools of Hamedan, Ray and Perspolis. Under the Sasanid dynasty Gundīshāpūr Academy was founded in Gundīshāpūr city which became the most important medical center during the 6th and 7th century. Under Muslim rule, at Bayt al-Ḥikma the systematic methods of Gundīshāpūr Academy and its ethical rules and regulations were emulated and it was stuffed with the graduates of the Academy. Finally, al-Muqaddasī (c.391/1000) described it as failing into ruins. Under the Pahlavī dynasty and Islamic Republic of Iran, the heritage of Gundīshāpūr Academy has been memorized by founding Ahwaz Jundīshāpūr University of Medical Sciences. Keywords: Gundīshāpūr Academy, medical school, teaching hospital, Bayt al-Ḥikma, Ahwaz Jundīshāpūr University of Medical Science, and Medical ethics.
