Springer International Publishing AG Fragility Fracture and Orthogeriatric Nursing:
Book SynopsisThis second edition, in Open Access, aims to provide a comprehensive and practical overview of the knowledge required for the assessment and management of the older adult with or at risk of fragility fracture, with additional focus on those who are frail. It considers this from the perspectives of all the clinical and home care settings in which this group of patients receive care and is relevant to all global locations. The concept of orthogeriatric care is explored in detail. Global estimates suggest that there were 21 million men and 137 million women aged 50 years or more at high fracture risk in 2010. This incidence is expected to double by 2040, with the most significant increase in Asia. Fragility fracture is one of the foremost challenges for health care providers and thehe global demand for nursing care for patients with fragility fractures across the world is immense. Hip fracture is particularly challenging as these significant injuries often occur in frail older people requiring hospitalisation and orthopaedic surgery. Such injuries and associated surgery result in increased frailty, worsening health and wellbeing, pain, disability, reduced quality of life, loss of independence, and decreased life expectancy. Care providers need to understand the experience of fragility fracture from the perspective of patients and families so that direct improvements in care can be based on the perspectives of the users. Expert care of patients following fractures that require hospitalisation and orthopaedic surgery involves skill in the care and treatment of frail older people as we as individuals with an injury and undergoing surgery. Nurses have a significant role in interdisciplinary collaborative care provided through orthogeriatric models of care. There is increasing evidence that such models significantly improve patient outcomes. High quality, evidence-based orthogeriatric care is increasingly shown to have positive impact on outcomes for recovery, rehabilitation, and secondary prevention of further fracture. This book significantly supports the aims and values of the Fragility Fracture Network and, as such, supports the learning needs of nurses and other allied health professionals which will enable a comprehensive approach to nursing practice in orthogeriatric and fragility fracture care.Table of ContentsForeword to second editionPreface to first editionPreface to second edition1.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Digitalisierung in der Altenpflege: Analyse und
Book SynopsisDie Digitalisierung durchzieht als Megatrend auch die Dienstleistungsbranchen Gesundheit und Pflege. Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien setzen vermehrt Impulse, Gesundheits- und Pflegeleistungen zu unterstützen: z.B. Televisite - Telekonsultation, Monitoring - KI - Entscheidungsunterstützungssysteme, Medical Apps, digitale Patientenakte. Häufig wird die Notwendigkeit der technischen Unterstützung mit dem Fachkräftemangel begründet. Die Digitalisierung hat zudem das Potenzial, das Versorgungsgeschehen von der Arbeit am Klienten bis hin zu den Verwaltungsstrukturen grundlegend zu verändern. Wie der Einsatz von digital unterlegten Technologien insbesondere im sensiblen Bereich der Altenpflege erfolgreich umgesetzt werden kann und dabei auch stets den Menschen im Blick behält, erläutern die Autoren dieses essentials anhand von Beispielen aus den Bereichen Augmented Reality, Robotik, Sturzsensorik und Pflegedokumentation. Dabei werden sie von dem Konzept Strategische Mensch-Maschine-Partnerschaft geleitet. Die neuen Anforderungen an die Qualifikation der handelnden Akteure werden ebenso diskutiert wie Fragen technologischer Voraussetzungen.
