India has around 300 sunny days, which make solar energy one of the most reliable sources of electricity. Solar energy is being adapted by residential, commercial and industrial setup. Solar energy is gaining traction in energy-intensive establishments such as hospitals, medical colleges etc. The healthcare industry is an establishment that needs a constant and unhindered supply of electricity. From life monitoring systems to complex diagnostic equipment and scanners, everything needs an uninterrupted supply of electricity. Since hospitals don’t have enough space for building an independent hydroelectric system and a wind farm, the only options to get clean energy is solar energy. The hospital spends a humongous amount of money in building a fail-safe environment, research shows that only 90% of the DGs start during a power outage. T...

Interesting Science-Based Benefits of Psychotherapy

  Interesting Science-Based Benefits of Psychotherapy Historically, mental illness has been ‘treated’ in a host of dangerous and sometimes horrifying ways. Around 7000 years ago, trepanation was the treatment de jour. It was thought that mental illness was caused by evil spirits and could be cured by drilling small holes into the brain. While trepanation and other surgical methods such as lobotomies have unsurprisingly fallen out of favor, there is another approach – one that has been both celebrated and scorned over the last century: Psychotherapy. What are the Benefits of Psychotherapy? Meta-analyses of psychodynamic psychotherapy studies indicated that short-term treatment improved symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anorexia nervosa.

An indication of lasting psychological changes that yielded further benefits as time passed (Busch, Rudden, & Shapiro, 2004). On...

Image
  How to Prepare for the Next Healthcare Crisis We know what you’re thinking: the last thing anyone wants to think about is another healthcare crisis. Believe us when we say we  couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately, the reality is that we don’t have that luxury on a consistent basis. If anything, COVID-19 showed the healthcare industry that it didn’t have “preparing for a health crisis” among its top priorities. But as the situation improves and the dust settles, it’s ideal to re-evaluate procedures and make improvements where they make sense. But first, let’s look at where to start. Have a Plan It’s safe to say that most providers at this point have a plan if they encounter another health crisis, but has it been tweaked based on the later stages of the pandemic? Maybe not. It’s been over a year since COVID-19 hit the world, and a lot changed over the course of 2020 and beyond.
