AI Article Synopsis
- Poland has not yet implemented Advance Care Planning (ACP), which has proven benefits for patients and the healthcare system.
- The article discusses the legal and cultural barriers to ACP adoption in Poland, emphasizing the need for regulations to uphold patient wishes.
- Increasing public awareness is crucial for changing perspectives on ACP, and support from countries with established ACP models is essential for progress.
Article Abstract
Although the first Advance Care Planning (ACP) models were developed decades ago, Poland is still a country where ACP has not yet been implemented, despite its apparent benefits for both patients and the health care system. This article presents the legal and cultural context, main impediments, and opportunities for implementing ACP in Poland. Legal regulations are mandatory to ensure respect for the patient's will. Raising public awareness seems to be a cornerstone of the shift of paradigm. We strongly believe that the support of experienced countries is indispensable.

Background: Electronic health records (EHRs) facilitate the accessibility and sharing of patient data among various health care providers, contributing to more coordinated and efficient care.
Objective: This study aimed to summarize the evolution of secondary use of EHRs and their interoperability in medical research over the past 25 years.
Methods: We conducted an extensive literature search in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using the keywords Electronic health record and Electronic medical record in the title or abstract and Medical research in all fields from 2000 to 2024.
Application of clinician support tools to improve wound healing outcomes and simplify treatment selection for effective exudate management.
Wounds
December 2024
Smith+Nephew, Watford, Hertfordshire, UK.
Background: Achievement of moisture balance can be a critical factor affecting time to closure of nonhealing wounds, and dry wounds can take much longer to heal than those with high exudate levels. Whether the goal of management is to donate moisture to the wound or control excessive fluid until the cause has been identified and addressed, choice of dressing and other wound management products can affect nursing resources, clinical outcomes, concordance, and quality of life for the patient.
Case Reports: The cases discussed illustrate differences in management approaches for dry and wet wounds and show how clinician support tools (eg, tissue type, infection/inflammation, moisture imbalance, epithelial edge advancement [TIME] clinical decision support tool) can facilitate treatment decisions.
Background: The Wound Care Collaborative Community (WCCC) assesses shortcomings and unmet needs in wound care by partnering with key stakeholders, such as the National Institutes of Health, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), industry leaders, and expert health care providers and researchers, to advance the study of wound healing. Through this work, the WCCC has identified a few key barriers to innovation in wound care. The WCCC aims to accelerate the development of science-based, patient-centered solutions and address public policy challenges related to ensuring patients receive early access to innovative treatment options.
