The costs of non-training in chronic wounds : estimates through practice simulation
The high prevalence and incidence rates of chronic wounds represent high financial
costs for patients, families, health services, and for society in general. Therefore, the proper
training of health professionals engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of these wounds can
have a very positive impact on the reduction of costs.
As technology advances rapidly, the knowledge acquired at school soon becomes outdated, and
only through lifelong learning can skills be constantly updated. Information and
Communication Technologies play a decisive role in this field. We have prepared a cost
estimate model of Non-Training, using a Simulator (Web Based System – e-fer) for the
diagnosis and treatment of chronic wounds.
The preliminary results show that the costs involved in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic
wounds are markedly higher in health professionals with less specialized training
Memory functions and Correlations in Additive Binary Markov Chains
A theory of additive Markov chains with long-range memory, proposed earlier
in Phys. Rev. E 68, 06117 (2003), is developed and used to describe statistical
properties of long-range correlated systems. The convenient characteristics of
such systems, a memory function, and its relation to the correlation properties
of the systems are examined. Various methods for finding the memory function
via the correlation function are proposed. The inverse problem (calculation of
the correlation function by means of the prescribed memory function) is also
solved. This is demonstrated for the analytically solvable model of the system
with a step-wise memory function.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
