Patient’s Medication Errors

(Reuters Health) - Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake after
leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn't seem to reduce those errors, in a
new study.

Consequences of mistakes - such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong dose
- can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two
percent of errors were life-threatening.

Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication mistakes in
addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study's lead author
from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

"We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of patients) were still
having these medication errors," he told Reuters Health.

Although the pharmacist visits didn't help the average patient, he added, certain ones seemed
to benefit - such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had trouble understanding health
information.

As for traditionally lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be
needed.

Kesalahan Pengobatan Pasien

(Reuters Health) - Setengah dari semua pasien jantung melakukan setidaknya satu kesalahan terkait
pengobatan setelah meninggalkan rumah sakit, dan bimbingan dari seorang apoteker tampaknya
tidak mengurangi kesalahan itu, dalam sebuah studi baru.

Konsekuensi kesalahan - seperti lupa minum obat tertentu atau mengambil dosis yang salah - dapat
berkisar dari efek samping seperti sembelit hingga penurunan tekanan darah yang lebih serius. Dua
persen kesalahan mengancam jiwa.

Rumah sakit yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini sudah mengambil langkah-langkah untuk mencegah
kesalahan pengobatan selain intervensi apoteker tambahan, kata Dr. Sunil Kripalani, penulis utama
studi dari Vanderbilt University Medical Center di Nashville, Tennessee.

"Kami terkejut melihat bahwa terlepas dari upaya ini bahwa 50 persen (pasien) masih mengalami
kesalahan pengobatan ini," katanya kepada Reuters Health.
Meskipun kunjungan apoteker tidak membantu pasien rata-rata, ia menambahkan, yang tertentu
tampaknya menguntungkan - seperti pasien yang menggunakan beberapa obat atau mengalami
kesulitan memahami informasi kesehatan.

Adapun pasien yang berisiko rendah secara tradisional, ia mengatakan strategi lain untuk mencegah
kesalahan mungkin diperlukan.

Indonesia put in an impressive performance in their 2-0 defeat of Singapore, but still failed to qualify
for next year's AFC U-22 soccer championship after finishing a third place at the end of Group E
matches in Pekanbaru, Riau on Sunday.

The two goals for the home side, which welcomed Coach Aji Santoso back the sidelines from a four
matches suspension, both came in the second half from Agung Supriyanto.

a defender with a swift maneuver from the right flank and had the goalkeeper gasping as his
thunderous goal blasted into the far post.

The young Indonesians collected 9 points, or just one point behind runner-up Australia, out of a six
strong field of competitors. Japan topped the standing with a perfect collection 20-2 goal margin.

An Alliance Could Answer The Growing Threat

from
Google and Facebook
By Evelyn M.RuIsi and Nick Bilton

Apple, which has stumbled in its efforts to get into social media, has talked with
Twitter in recent months about making a strategic investment in it, according to
people briefed on the matter.

Although apple has been hugely successful in selling phones and tablets, it has
little traction in social networking, which has become a major engine of activity
on the Web and on mobile devices. Social media are increasingly influencing the
ways people spend their time and money — important consideration for Apple,
which also sells application, games, music and movies.

Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one

that could value Twitter at more than $10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion
valuation last year, these people said. They declined to be identified because the
discussions were private.

There is no guarantee that the two companies, which are not in negotiations at
the moment, will come to an agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they
may form a stronger partnership amid intensifying competition from
companies like Google and Facebook.

Apple has not made many friends in social media. Its relationship with Facebook,
for example, has been strained since a deal to build Facebook featured into Ping,
Apple's music-centric social network, fell apart. Facebook is also aligned with
Microsoft, which owns a small stake in it. And Google, an Apple rival in the phone
market, has been pushing its own social network, Google Plus.

Aliansi Bisa Menjawab Ancaman yang Berkembang dari

Google dan Facebook

Oleh Evelyn M.RuIsi dan Nick Bilton

Apple, yang tersandung dalam upayanya untuk masuk ke media sosial, telah
berbicara dengan Twitter dalam beberapa bulan terakhir tentang melakukan
investasi strategis di dalamnya, menurut orang-orang yang diberi pengarahan
tentang masalah tersebut.

Meskipun apel telah sangat sukses dalam menjual ponsel dan tablet, apel
memiliki sedikit daya tarik dalam jejaring sosial, yang telah menjadi mesin utama
aktivitas di Web dan di perangkat seluler. Media sosial semakin mempengaruhi
cara orang menghabiskan waktu dan uang mereka - pertimbangan penting bagi
Apple, yang juga menjual aplikasi, game, musik, dan film.

Apple telah mempertimbangkan investasi dalam ratusan juta dolar, yang dapat
menghargai Twitter lebih dari $ 10 miliar, naik dari penilaian $ 8,4 miliar tahun
lalu, kata orang-orang ini. Mereka menolak untuk diidentifikasi karena diskusi
bersifat pribadi.

Tidak ada jaminan bahwa kedua perusahaan, yang tidak dalam negosiasi saat ini,
akan mencapai kesepakatan. Tetapi pembicaraan sebelumnya adalah tanda
bahwa mereka dapat membentuk kemitraan yang lebih kuat di tengah
meningkatnya persaingan dari perusahaan-perusahaan seperti Google dan
Facebook.

Apple belum punya banyak teman di media sosial. Hubungannya dengan

Facebook, misalnya, telah tegang sejak kesepakatan untuk membangun Facebook
yang ditampilkan ke Ping, jaringan sosial musik-sentris Apple, berantakan.
Facebook juga selaras dengan Microsoft, yang memiliki saham kecil di dalamnya.
Dan Google, saingan Apple di pasar ponsel, telah mendorong jejaring sosialnya
sendiri, Google Plus.
