Article Synopsis
- Interprofessional teamwork is crucial for effective biopsychosocial exercise therapy in rehabilitation programs, as highlighted by a nationwide survey of 1,146 exercise therapy heads.
- The study included questionnaires and focus group discussions, revealing that overall, interprofessional teamwork was positively rated, with team meetings serving as key exchange platforms.
- However, challenges like hierarchical medical management and resource shortages in larger facilities hindered effective teamwork, emphasizing the need for better structural conditions to promote physical activity in rehabilitation.
Objectives: The current systematic review (SR) was undertaken to identify and summarise the published literature reporting on the clinical and economic value of automated in-hospital pharmacy services with a primary focus on systems supporting the dispensing of medicines.
Methods: Literature searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library on 17 December 2017 to identify English-language publications investigating any automated dispensing systems (ADSs) in the inpatient setting to include central pharmacy and ward-based systems.
Results: 4320 publications were screened by title and abstract and 45 of 175 full publications screened were included.
Background: We present a robot-assisted telerehabilitation system that allows for haptic interaction between therapist and patient over distance. It consists of two arm therapy robots. Attached to one robot the therapists can feel on their own arm the limitations of the patient's arm which is attached to the other robot.
