Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

The opioid overdose epidemic combined with the need to reduce the burden of acute pain poses a public health challenge. To address how evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for prescribing opioids for acute pain might help meet this challenge, Framing Opioid Prescribing Guidelines for Acute Pain: Developing the Evidence develops a framework to evaluate existing clinical practice guidelines for prescribing opioids for acute pain indications, recommends indications for which new evidence-based guidelines should be developed, and recommends a future research agenda to inform and enable specialty organizations to develop and disseminate evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for prescribing opioids to treat acute pain indications. The recommendations of this study will assist professional societies, health care organizations, and local, state, and national agencies to develop clinical practice guidelines for opioid prescribing for acute pain. Such a framework could inform the development of opioid prescribing guidelines and ensure systematic and standardized methods for evaluating evidence, translating knowledge, and formulating recommendations for practice.

Half of all prescribed medicines are used in a sub-optimal manner and clinicians struggle to find ways of improving the situation. There is a move towards greater partnership with patients, but concordance (shared decision making between patients and healthcare professionals) is a growing challenge for the profession. This practical book offers numerous real life case studies to demonstrate the way the patient-centered model, combined with other behavioural models, can result in a logical approach to prescribing for difficult clients, including ‘non-compliant’ and other challenging patients. Patient-Centered Prescribing fully considers the very complex nature of the issues at hand, ethical questions, time restrictions and financial matters, to produce a realistic analysis of the difficulties to be overcome in achieving better practice. This book is ideal for doctors, nurses and pharmacists, and postgraduate students of medicine, pharmacy and nursing. It is also of great interest to medical educators, particular

Drug Utilization Research (DUR) is an eclectic scientific discipline, integrating descriptive and analytical methods for the quantification, understanding and evaluation of the processes of prescribing, dispensing and consumption of medicines and for the testing of interventions to enhance the quality of these processes. The discipline is closely related and linked mainly to the broader field of pharmacoepidemiology, but also to health outcomes research, pharmacovigilance and health economics. Drug Utilization Research is a unique, practical guide to the assessment and evaluation of prescribing practices and to interventions to improve the use of medicines in populations. Edited by an international expert team from the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE), DUR is the only title to cover both the methodology and applications of drug utilization research and covers areas such as health policy, specific populations, therapeutics and adherence.

Antimicrobial agents are essential for the treatment of life-threatening infections and for managing the burden of minor infections in the community. In addition, they play a key role in organ and bone marrow transplantation, cancer chemotherapy, artificial joint and heart valve surgery. Unlike other classes of medicines, they are vulnerable to resistance from mutations in target microorganisms, and their adverse effects may extend to other patients (increased risk of cross-infection). As a consequence, there is a constant requirement for new agents, as well as practices that ensure the continued effective prescribing of licensed agents. Public awareness and concerns about drug resistant organisms has led to widespread publicity and political action in the UK, Europe and worldwide. The control of drug resistance and the implementation of good prescribing practice are now legal requirements in the UK as a result of the UK Health Act (2008). These fundamental changes underscore the need for a thorough understanding of the advantages and risks associated with specific antibiotic choices. This sixth edition of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy continues to be a valuable resource for undergraduates and graduates requiring a thorough grounding in the scientific basis and clinical application of these drugs. This new edition is updated to include the most recently licensed agents, notably in the treatment of viral infections including HIV/AIDS, and contains new guidance on prescribing practice and infection control practices that limit the development and spread of resistant organisms.

The practice of Traditional Chinse Medicine (TCM) has been gaining a wider acceptance worldwide in recent decades. The global TCM market was estimated to be worth nearly US$60 billion in 2012 with the China market alone projected by Helmut Kaiser Consultancy to exceed US$121 billion in 2025. HerbMiners aims to make TCM healthcare smarter by unlocking the value of clinical data. Its research process includes the application of data mining to reveal relationships between symptoms, illnesses, herbs and prescriptions; and using artificial intelligence to learn about TCM diagnosis differentiation and prescriptions from TCM practitioners. It also provides TCM Advisor (TCMA), an integrated software solution that assists hospitals and clinics with TCM practice modernization and patient record digitalization. TCMA is currently used by a large number of private TCM clinics and more than 80% of non-governmental organizations in Hong Kong that provide TCM service, as well as sites in the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Philippines and Macau. While the first generation TCMA system – developed in-house on the Microsoft Windows .Net framework with a data capture module running on the Windows Azure cloud platform – enabled HerbMiners to tap into clinical data streams, the hybrid application architecture was laborious to support on-site, limiting the company’s ability to take on more TCM clinics and diverting staff resources from its core research activities. HerbMiners Big data analytics is the use of advanced analytic techniques against very large, diverse Integrative medicine data sets that include different types such as structured/unstructured and streaming/batch/images/data mining, and different sizes from terabytes to zettabytes. Big data is a term applied to data sets whose size or type is beyond the ability of traditional relational databases to capture, manage, and process the data with low-latency. And it has one or more of the following characteristics – high volume, high velocity, or high variety. Big data comes from sensors, devices, video/audio, networks, log files, transactional applications, web, and social media - much of it generated in real time and in a very large scale. Analyzing big data allows analysts, researchers, and business users to make better and faster decisions using data that was previously inaccessible or unusable. Using advanced analytics techniques such as text analytics, machine learning, predictive analytics, data mining, statistics, and natural language processing, businesses can analyze previously untapped data sources independent or together with their existing enterprise data to gain new insights resulting in significantly better and faster decisions.
