Evidence based practice guidelines for the nutritional management of chronic kidney disease

The purpose of these guidelines is to provide dietitians in Australia and New Zealand with a summary of evidence based clinical guidelines related to the dietetic management of adult patients with chronic kidney disease. The patient target group is any adult patient fulfilling the definition and diagnostic criteria of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), excluding those with nephrotic syndrome. These guidelines by definition also exclude acute renal failure and transplantation. The clinical questions were as follows: • At what level of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) should patients be referred to the dietitian in order to maximise nutritional intervention opportunities? • Which specific measures best reflect nutritional status or change in nutritional status in CKD? • What are the goals of nutrition intervention for CKD? • What is (are) the appropriate nutritional intervention(s) to optimise nutritional status in CKD and prevent malnutrition? • What is the optimal method of implementation and follow up to ensure nutritional status is maintained or improved? These guidelines are meant to serve as a general framework for handling patients with particular health problems. It may not always be appropriate to use these guidelines to manage clients because individual circumstances may vary. The independent skill and judgement of the health care provider must always dictate treatment decisions. These guidelines for practice are provided with the express understanding that they do not establish or specify particular standards of care, whether legal, medical or other. 1

El Movimiento de Salud de los Pueblos: salud para todos ya

We are moving away from the year 2000, and the goal of "health for all" remains distant. Economic globalization, which many consider to be one of the most serious threats to health, moves ahead, along with globalization of international health policies. A small number of powerful actors are in charge of setting the agenda, and they relegate to an inferior position the World Health Organization, which has moved away from the goal of "health for all." All of this has helped to promote a neoliberal mentality in the field of health. The People's Health Movement was created with the objective of reestablishing the right to comprehensive health and to development with equity as principal priorities of health policies at the local, national, and international levels. The People's Health Movement uses as a strategy the People's Charter for Health, which was approved at the first People's Health Assembly, which was held in Bangladesh in 2000. The Charter expresses collective concerns and the belief in a better and healthier world as a meeting point in order to promote a world health movement and a call for radical action. In July 2005 the People's Health Movement will hold the People's Health Assembly 2, in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. The slogan of that meeting will be "The voices of the earth are calling!--let's build a healthy world." Among the topics that will be examined at the meeting are: health as a fundamental human right; militarization and occupation; environmental degradation; emerging and reemerging pandemics; equity, poverty, and health; the importance of cultural diversity; social and political violence; health in the hands of the people; health at work; traditional medicine and bioenergetic medicine; gender; and health sector reform. The objective of the People's Health Movement is to help to reach the Millennium Development Goals and to smooth the path toward attaining health for all, in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as in the rest of the world.

The People's Health Movement: A People's Campaign for "HEALTH FOR ALL—NOW!"

AbstractThe People's Health Assembly and the People's Health Movement have been a civil society effort to counter the ill effects of globalization on health and health care. The Assembly, through an interactive dialogue, developed the People's Charter for Health as a tool for advocacy and a call for radical action. Consisting of a wide range of action initiatives, the People's Charter for Health, now translated into over forty languages, is helping to promote a movement that involves geographical circles of health professionals and activists that organize street-level rallies, policy debates and dialogues, and public education. The movement's advocacy efforts with the WHO and other major international health players and health campaigns are all focused on the goal of "Health for All—Now!"

Service management: New Zealand's model of resource management

The health system in New Zealand, which in many respects is similar to that of the United Kingdom NHS, Is currently undergoing massive change. In 1989 fourteen area health boards were formed, each board being accountable to the minister of health for achieving health goals and providing comprehensive health services for Its defined population. This process has been assisted by the promulgation of a set of national health goals and a national health charter. Within area health boards the principle of general management is being implemented. Organisational structures are moving away from hospitals to services in a process which is being called service management which may be defined as the decentralisation of general management to the clinical worklace. Similar in many respects to the resource management initiatives in the NHS It brings together medical, nursing and business management at the operational level with one person being accountable for the achievement of quality of care objectives within a budgetary framework. Budgetary restraints in excess of 10% have been achieved in the last 12 months partly through the service management process. Service management is seen to be a major paradigm shift in health services organisation and could be of international significance in its potential for achieving medical accountability for cost containment and quality assurance, and for coordinating care across agency and disciplinary boundaries.

A Charter for Health

THIS attractively produced little volume, with its X well-chcden photographs and simple coloured graphs of statistics, is clearly directed towards the intelegent general public (although one suspects tlrat the rather high price may reduce its circulation considerably) and gives a simple, clear and authoritative statement of the factors affecting the health of the individual and the community. In the words of the final chapter, “The doctors collectively have in the preceding chapters attempted to diagnose the nation's condition”, and their attempt has been very successful. The further claim to “have given a prescription to guide the community” could, however, scarcely be substantiated, and this for the very good reason that medical practitioners as such have no greater skill in political prescription than politicians have in medical. In a way, the committee of authors recognizes this, for the preface informs us that “Controversial issues have been avoided”—and what more controversial than politics? Within this self-imposed limitation, however, the Committee has done an excellent piece of work.
