Background: For more than 30 years, there has been close cooperation between Japanese and German scientists with regard to information systems in health care. Collaboration has been formalized by an agreement between the respective scientific associations. Following this agreement, two joint workshops took place to explore the similarities and differences of electronic health record systems (EHRS) against the background of the two national healthcare systems that share many commonalities.
Objectives: To establish a framework and requirements for the quality of EHRS that may also serve as a basis for comparing different EHRS.
Methods: Donabedian's three dimensions of quality of medical care were adapted to the outcome, process, and structural quality of EHRS and their management. These quality dimensions were proposed before the first workshop of EHRS experts and enriched during the discussions.
Results: The Quality Requirements Framework of EHRS (QRF-EHRS) was defined and complemented by requirements for high quality EHRS. The framework integrates three quality dimensions (outcome, process, and structural quality), three layers of information systems (processes and data, applications, and physical tools) and three dimensions of information management (strategic, tactical, and operational information management).
Conclusions: Describing and comparing the quality of EHRS is in fact a multidimensional problem as given by the QRF-EHRS framework. This framework will be utilized to compare Japanese and German EHRS, notably those that were presented at the second workshop.
The primary objective of this study was to determine the structural and known-group validity as well as the inter-rater reliability of a test battery to evaluate the motor control of the craniofacial region. Seventy volunteers without TMD and 25 subjects with TMD (Axes I) per the DC/TMD were asked to execute a test battery consisting of eight tests. The tests were video-taped in the same sequence in a standardised manner. Two experienced physical therapists participated in this study as blinded assessors. We used exploratory factor analysis to identify the underlying component structure of the eight tests. Internal consistency (Cronbach's α), inter-rater reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient) and construct validity (ie, hypothesis testing-known-group validity) (receiver operating curves) were also explored for the test battery. The structural validity showed the presence of one factor underlying the construct of the test battery. The internal consistency was excellent (0.90) as well as the inter-rater reliability. All values of reliability were close to 0.9 or above indicating very high inter-rater reliability. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.93 for rater 1 and 0.94 for rater two, respectively, indicating excellent discrimination between subjects with TMD and healthy controls. The results of the present study support the psychometric properties of test battery to measure motor control of the craniofacial region when evaluated through videotaping. This test battery could be used to differentiate between healthy subjects and subjects with musculoskeletal impairments in the cervical and oro-facial regions. In addition, this test battery could be used to assess the effectiveness of management strategies in the craniofacial region.
Viele „Overhead Athletes“ leiden am Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit Syndrome (GIRD; glenohumerales Innenrotationsdefizit). Die persistierenden Schulterbeschwerden werden durch Überbelastung im oberen Quadranten verursacht. Bislang ist der Einfluss der orofazialen Region und der dentalen Okklusion auf die (motorische) Funktion bei den betroffenen Patienten nicht systematisch erforscht.
Diese Fallserie untersuchte bei (semi)professionellen Overhead Athletes die Einschränkung ihrer Innen- und Außenrotation sowie der statischen Kraft in 4 Bewegunsrichtungen. Aufgrund der Resultate wurde aus der 1. Gruppe eine 2. Gruppe gebildet, die 3 manualtherapeutische Behandlungen und anschließend eine Dentalschiene erhielt.
Die multidisziplinäre Behandlung durch den Zahnarzt und einen (spezialisierten) Manualtherapeuten reduzierte signifikant die Beschwerden und Dysfunktionen. Eine orofaziale klinische Diagnose nach den Richtlinien der Diagnostic Criteria/Temporomandibular Dysfunctions (DC/TDM) und der okklusale kinästhetische Sensibilisierungstest (OKST) scheinen prognostische Indikatoren für die Behandlung des GIRD-Syndroms zu sein.
