Preeclampsia or gestosis is a hypertensive disorder in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organ systems, especially the liver and kidneys. It is a leading cause of maternal and infant illness and death globally. The exact causes are still unknown but are believed to involve placental dysfunction. Symptoms may include sudden high blood pressure, swelling, headaches, vision changes, and abdominal pain. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and lab/ultrasound results. While delivery is usually required to resolve preeclampsia, managing it properly can help reduce risks and allow the baby to develop further before birth. Early detection through improved biomarkers remains an area of ongoing research.
4. Editorās Note
ow many steps do you walk daily? How many
Hcalories do you intake in a day? How many
words does a writer pen in a week? Whatās
the average count of your sleeping hours?
All of the above questions share a collective entity
i.e., Tracking. Itās in our human nature. By tracking or
measuring our activities, we seek improvement and
take our best foot forward to create a future
supportive to us. We track things to push and move
on. It is a powerful tool describing us where we are in
a speciļ¬c time, position, or how much we have
progressed.
In a general setting, we set up a baseline marking our
current state, whether we are making progress or
not. It helps in setting realistic goals. Once that is
conļ¬gured, we keep tabs on our improvements.
Herein we celebrate our win, even the small one, and
check losses to sustain our momentum to keep our
conļ¬dence and motivation high. This helps, as it
allows us to correct the course. We can ļ¬nd out what
went wrong and why. Tracking gives us something to
celebrate and encourages us to keep going towards
our target.
It seems to be a very minor detail; however, people
who stay on track sound like they pay attention to
their behavior. Often, keeping track may be a
difļ¬cult chore to follow. But thatās the whole point, it
forces us to pay attention to the overall behavior we
are trying to change.
It holds things at the forefront of our minds and
helps us in setting our priorities right. Naturally,
tracking will get simpler over time, and you will spend
less time worrying about it and more time doing it. In
conclusion, like a map, tracking helps you locate
yourself and allows you to plan where you want to
be.
The whole point is to understand the minimum level
of advantages, we humans can take from tracking.
And this is just the lowest level. When incorporated
in industries and businesses, the top of the chain, it
makes a massive difference in the way with live.
ON THE RIGHT TRACK

25. Healthcare providers from
hospitals to primary physicians
have been methodically
documenting the health and care for their
patients using medical records, the
Electronic Medical Records (EMR).
Todayās modern technology has allowed
for these advancements in managing
medical records by electronic means.
Electronic health records are now stored
and managed online. Thus medical
practitioners can eļ¬ciently function as
paperless oļ¬ces, in turn helping to
streamline their everyday processes and
maximize work eļ¬ciency.
The entire healthcare industry has seen an
Editorās Insights
2020, VOLUME - 04, ISSUE - 01 INSIGHTS SUCCESS | 23
26. eļ¬ective transformation in recent years with laws like
HIPAA and the Aļ¬ordable Care Act in place. These laws
have been established to protect electronic health records
and encourage its implementation. The industry has thus
begun to shift towards using electronic medical records as
its primary method of managing patient health.
In order to make the transition from paper-based health
management to electronic health records, healthcare
providers make the use of specialized medical record
scanning and storage services. The scanners and storage
services are used to convert the records into electronic
health records.
Medical Records: Moving from Paper based to
Electronic Format
In the earlier days, the systematic documentation of
patientsā health histories and care over time by healthcare
providers was done by means of paper-based medical
records. Today, advances in digital technologies and storage
capabilities have led to the development of what are known
as electronic health records systems (EHRs) in the
healthcare industry.
Often used interchangeably with the similar term electronic
medical record systems (EMR), electronic health records
refer to medical practiceās methodical collection of patient
health information stored in digital format.
With EHRs, healthcare providers are now able to more
easily share and access their medical records through
network-connected, enterprise-wide record management
platforms.
Beneļ¬ts of Electronic Health Records
Besides increased usability and practicality for providers
who implement EHRs, these modern medical records
provide numerous advantages for healthcare practices. The
top beneļ¬ts include cutting down the chances of data
replication or inaccuracies since there is only a single
medical record. Also, the advancement has eliminated the
need to track down and locate past patient records prior to
adding any new changes.
These advantages are speciļ¬cally relevant for healthcare
providers working on a large scale like hospitals, who
handle the medical records of hundreds of patients each
day. The healthcare providers including insurance
companies, federal and state governments, and even large
medical institutions are its major beneļ¬ciaries. These
institutions have begun to heavily promote the adoption and
implementation of electronic medical records since 2010.
The Latest Advances
EMR technology does not stop improving, and the latest
EMR developers are exploring the mobile devices, ļ¬nding
ways for doctors and patients to communicate on these
transportable devices. For instance, this has allowed
hospital patients to take pictures of their symptoms, send
text alerts, and check symptoms instantly. These early
interventions have enabled doctors to decide whether the
patients need to be examined further with a physical
appointment or not. It also helps patients to receive a timely
diagnosis and the treatment they need.
Moreover, Wearable Tech has also begun to be recognized
as a path of communication between doctors and their
patients, allowing live information to be taken and recorded
from the devices. For instance, if wearable technology such
as ļ¬tness trackers, which already have a variety of health
beneļ¬ts, were combined with EMRs, it could prove
advantageous. Vital information such as heart rate, step
count, and sleep levels could be instantly shown to a doctor,
who could be alerted to any problems in its functioning.
Moreover, transferring EMRs to cloud-based platforms in
the healthcare industry makes the information more secure.
It has allowed doctors from other medical facilities to easily
access the patientsā information whenever they need to.
This has also cut hospital costs as they do not need to
maintain their own software and digital systems.
EMRs are constantly evolving, and new uses are being
found on a regular basis to connect patients and doctors. It
ensures that their care is as integrated and error-free as
possible. In the years to come from wearable tech to
mobile-compatibility, EMRs will form a large part of the
healthcare.

29. Pregnancy is a phase in the life of a woman that many
look forward to and experience the joy of giving
birth to a life, whilst some have reservations over
getting pregnant. These are individual choices that women
make and therefore needs to be respected.
The birth of a healthy baby is a result of good care that a
pregnant woman receives right through her pregnancy -
from her family, her doctor and also because she takes good
care of herself with healthy, nutritious diet, adequate rest
and exercise, positive thoughts etc., Whilst most
pregnancies result in healthy babies, some pregnancies
develop complications, resulting in adverse outcomes for
both the mother and the baby. One such complication in
pregnancy that is now increasingly being noticed is
Preeclampsia or Gestosis.
Medical text books describe preeclampsia as a hypertensive
disorder in pregnancy. Sudden and high blood pressure
th
during the course of pregnancy especially from the 5
month onwards along with elevated levels of biochemistry
tests suggestive of liver / kidney damage or circulatory
problems from low haemoglobin and platelets are typically
how Preeclampsia presents itself. Hypertensive disorders in
pregnancy is estimated to be nearly 20-25% of all
pregnancies in India, which is quite high, given the high
incidence of lifestyle diseases such as obesity, diabetes, late
pregnancies etc., Whilst normal blood pressure is 120 /
80mm Hg, preeclampsia results in blood pressure shooting
up suddenly and unexpectedly to 140 / 90mmHg or more.
Bleeding, epileptic ļ¬ts, neurological complications are
other serious complications that can arise if not diagnosed
and managed properly. A few symptoms include puļ¬ness
of the face, swelling of feet, episodes of abdominal pain,
sudden and additional weight gain of 3-6 kg instead of 1-
1.5 kg, within 2-4 weeks unexpectedly etc., Preeclampsia
results in delivery of many babies earlier than the term of
38-40 weeks (preterm birth) as delaying the delivery can
result in survival issues for the baby and in some cases the
mother as well.
The causative factors of preeclampsia are not well
understood yet. It is believed to be of metabolic origin
causing the placenta to become dysfunctional. A
dysfunctional placenta causes a host of downstream events,
such as elevation in blood pressure, organ damage etc., as
described above. Most obstetricians are able to detect
preeclampsia after the disorder has expressed itself.
Diagnoses and detection are through a combination of
clinical assessment, lab and ultrasound reports. If
preeclampsia presents itself closer to the term of the
pregnancy, emergency intervention and delivery of the baby
are the usual ways of managing the disorder. The challenge
is, in case the disorder manifests itself before 34 weeks of
gestation. Early onset preeclampsia as it is called in medical
parlance, may require admission of the baby in neonatal
ICU and often the mother too after delivery and where
indicated. Every extra day / week that is gained to deliver
the baby closer to 34 weeks of gestation is that much more
beneļ¬cial for the baby as it helps improve survival rates.
Diagnoses and detection of Preeclampsia is through a
combination of clinical assessment, ultrasound reports and
lab tests. Individually each of these methods have low
sensitivity and poor predictability hence the need to do
them together to improve detection. Researchers have been
aiming to unravel the origin of preeclampsia and to
determine suitable biomarkers that can conļ¬rm the presence
of the disorder at an early stage and also to predict its onset.
Advanced research using mass spectrometry, protein
sequencing etc., have helped identify a number of proteins
that were found to be activated / over expressed in
preeclampsia. One of the protein biochemical markers that
was investigated quite early, and as far back as 1984 is
Fibronectin. Fibronectin plays several important roles in the
human body. In pregnancy ļ¬bronectin is thought to play an
important role in embryogenesis (development of the
foetus). A set of researchers have shown that the protein,
Fibronectin gets elevated in preeclampsia, by measuring the
protein in diļ¬erent stages of the pregnancy and in
pregnancies that developed preeclampsia.
It is now easy to assess the risk of preeclampsia in
pregnancies by measuring the concentration of this protein.
A device similar to a blood sugar meter is now available in
India that enables Fibronectin to be measured in 10 minutes
from a ļ¬nger stick sample of the pregnant woman. The test
can be done in the clinic of the obstetrician and is found to
be helpful in the assessment of risk. A trained nurse or
technician can run the test as it is simple and easy to use.
This saves valuable time for the doctor and the pregnant
woman and helpful where there is rapid progression of
disease and an intervention decision needs to be made.
The test of Fibronectin in the blood also gives results which
help the clinician to categorise the patient as mild ,
moderate and severe. This test can be placed in the
pregnancy surveillance at 12 weeksā gestation as a
screening tool especially in women identiļ¬ed as at risk of
developing gestosis. The test can also be performed when
the woman presents with raised Blood pressure and thus
help in identifying the mothers needing closer surveillance
and monitoring and those who can be managed on the
outpatient basis. For more information feel free to contact

34. he medical inļ¬ation is skyrocketing, and it's
Tgrowing at a higher pace than food inļ¬ation. There
is a famous proverb, āHealth is wealthā. Medical
emergencies can easily wipe away your entire money at
once. Since most of us cannot aļ¬ord one-time expenses on
health emergencies, it is better to take the health insurance
cover. They usually charge a premium periodically and
helps us with a lump sum amount when the need arises. So,
while buying a health policy, which are the things you
should keep in mind? Letās explore 5 crucial things to keep
in mind when you plan to buy a health insurance policy.
Find the type of health insurance suited to your needs
Health insurance plans are of various types. There are
individual plans which are suitable for a single person. I
usually advice aged people to go for an individual policy
because they are at a higher chance of making a claim.
There are family ļ¬oater plans in health insurance that
covers the whole family. The family means self, spouse,
and unmarried children. Some policies also include
dependent parents in a family. Family ļ¬oater policies are
suitable for people who have more than one dependent, and
there is a low chance of all making health insurance claim
together, once or multiple times in a policy year.
Find the need for critical illness cover and Add-ons
Do you need critical illness cover? It covers critical
diseases that can cost you a huge amount. If your insurance
doesn't include critical illnesses, then you may want to
consider it. You can also take a look at add-ons available
along with the insurance plan. This is important in the case
of older people as their medical needs are diļ¬erent. Also, if
you have a family history of critical illness, then you may
go for it.
Know the claim process
The claim process is the most crucial part of any insurance.
This is the time you reap the advantage of taking insurance
and paying your premium without fail, year after year. The
claim process should be simple and clear. Ask the insurance
company speciļ¬cally about the claim process and go
through it carefully. The last thing you want is to run helter-
skelter for getting your rightful claim. Additionally, look at
the claim settlement ratio, which explains the percentage of
claims settled by the insurance company, the amount
claimed, and the percentage of amount allowed; it can help
you to opt for the best health insurance company.
Check out the number of hospitals in the network
Every insurance company empanels with the hospitals for
the treatment of its customers. It is better to get insurance
from a company that has a broader network of hospitals. At
a network hospital, you can get cashless treatment;
however, if the hospital is not in the list of the insurance
provider, then you need to get the claim amount through
reimbursement. A wider network makes your treatment
easier and saves valuable time in case of emergency.
Find the coverage that you need
Health insurance should cover you adequately. The
coverage amount depends on your lifestyle, past medical
history, and habits. You should also look at the premium
needed for the speciļ¬c cover size. This may vary among
health insurers. While it is tempting to compare the
premium and choose the cheapest, this may not be a good
strategy. Look for the claim settlement process, time,
number of network hospitals, and capping (if any) on the
treatment of speciļ¬c ailments as well.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that it is better
to take health insurance because at later age there are higher
chances of suļ¬ering from a disease like diabetes, BP,
hypertension, etc., so you may need to wait for a longer
period to get such ailments (pre-existing disease) covered.
At an early age, there is no need to go for a medical check-
up for buying a health cover.

36. It has been a challenging time for service providers and
the global community altogether. At such time when
providing in-person healthcare is challenging, given
the large distances and limited resources, telehealth services
have become a glimmer of hope against Covid-19. It has
increased timely access to appropriate interventions,
including access to services that may otherwise be
inaccessible.
There has been a dramatic surge in cases of Covid-19
infections in the USA since the past few weeks. Thus, to
smartly address the concern, the health systems in US are
racing to be more adaptive to virtual services that can serve
as their front line for the patients.
By using their phone or computer, patients are able to get
guidance about whether they need to be seen or tested
despite showing up unannounced at the emergency room or
doctorās oļ¬ce. Patients, particularly those who would be at
high risk for any serious illness can also opt for a virtual
visit while avoiding crowded waiting rooms.
Notably, while Telemedicine may have a spike in adoption,
the coronavirus crisis has forced service providers oļ¬er
commendable choices such as ļ¬exible insurance plans.
However, carrying out these operations online or oļ¬ine,
going to the doctor seems like a one-to-one interaction. It is
actually a part of the large and complex system of
information and payment. While the patient may only have
direct interaction with one person or healthcare provider,
the check-up includes a three-party system. The ļ¬rst party
is the patient, the second is the healthcare provider
(considering all the medical services), and the third and
ļ¬nal party is the insurance company, or payer.
Well, itās the medical billerās job is to check with each
private payer about their new policy on telehealth services
coverage. The coverage may vary with patient plan;
therefore, the biller should check with payers and educate
the providers on what CPT codes can be billed for which
payer. Certainly, the biller should ensure that the healthcare
provider is compensated for their services by appending
appropriate CPT/HCPCS, ICD-10 codes, modiļ¬ers, place
of service and appropriate documentation.

rowth factor concentrate or GFC is a highly
concentrated growth factor preparation engineered
from personās own blood for superior results in
hair loss and facial rejuvenation treatment.
Various growth factors are stored in platelets (type of cells
in our blood). Wockhardtās scientists have been able to
extract these growth factors from personās own blood in
high concentration as a GFC in specially designed Kits.
This GFC is injected into the scalp skin (face and neck),
thus, delivering personās own growth factors at high
concentration right in the layers of skin. This results in
stimulation of regeneration and repair.
GFC therapy for hair loss
Alopecia or Hair Loss is common with increasing age can
aļ¬ect both men and women. Many factors contribute to this
including hormonal imbalance, stress, nutritional
deļ¬ciency, genetic conditions etc.
The current standard of treatment consists of oral or topical
medications. Medication is required for an indeļ¬nite period,
and eļ¬ectiveness is limited by patient adherence and
frequent side eļ¬ects. Surgeries such as hair transplantation
are generally reserved for refractory patients. Due to the
varying eļ¬cacy and safety proļ¬les of the present treatment
modalities, there remains the need for additional treatments
promoting hair regrowth.
This innovative GFC is injected into the scalp, thus,
delivering personās own growth factors (e.g. platelet-
derived growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor,
insulin-like growth factor 1, Epidermal growth factor etc.)
at high concentration right at the hair root stimulating hair
regrowth. It is highly safe as prepared from Patientās own
blood without any contamination. To prepare GFC for hair
loss treatment about 16 ml of personās own blood is
required and it takes about 40 minutes for preparation to get
about 7-8 ml of ļ¬nal ready to inject GFC output. Any
candidate in their early or late stage of Alopecia as judged
by the treating doctor is a ļ¬t candidate for GFC therapy and
is equally eļ¬ective in both males and females.
After three sessions of GFC therapy eļ¬ects are seen in
terms of
ā¢ Reduced hair fall
ā¢ Improved hair thickness
ā¢ Increased in hair volume
GFC therapy for facial rejuvenation
With age, the natural and biological processes of the body
cause changes on the surface of the skin in the form of
ageing issues like wrinkles, folds, ļ¬ne lines, laugh lines,
sagging skin, creepy skin. Skin loses its strength to protect
itself from damage as it becomes thin and loses its elasticity
and volume. This results from a combination of a gradual
decline in skin function over time and cumulative damage
caused by factors like pollution, sun exposure, smoking and
high-Stress Levels etc. With advancement of science and
technology, there are few measures which allow us to
reverse or reduce the signs of an ageing face. This may lead
to immense psychological beneļ¬ts enhancing the personal
image and social interaction skills.
The GFC therapy is the latest measure, which utilizes the
bodyās inherent natural powers for biological skin
rejuvenation. GFC provides various growth factors (TGF Ī²,

concentration which are extracted from
personās own blood. Which stimulate dermis
(skin layer) subsequently its regeneration
and repair.
Any candidate who wishes to have
rejuvenated face is a best candidate. GFC
therapy is equally eļ¬ective in both male
females. GFC therapy can be also ideal for
the person who does not want any synthetic
ļ¬ller or any other synthetic chemicals/toxins.
GFC therapy can be used to enhance Laser
procedures and along with derma rollers too
for faster and improved healing.
After three sessions of GFC therapy eļ¬ects
are seen in terms of
ā¢ Rapid, eļ¬cient, and thorough restoration
of skin to a healthy state by enhancing the
bodyās natural healing capacity
ā¢ Improved quality and texture of skin
ā¢ Overall tightened and youthful skin
Directions for use of GFC therapy:
Three sessions of GFC therapy one month
apart are recommended. Usually, one session
can be repeated after 4-6 months thereafter
therapy can be repeated every year.
Advantages of GFC therapy:
ā¢ Latest Non-surgical
ā¢ Safe as prepared from personās own blood
ā¢ Sterile, no chances of infection
ā¢ High concentration of growth factors for
optimum results
ā¢ Pure GFC without any unwanted cells,
gives less pain
Possible side eļ¬ects of GFC therapy:
Since GFC is pure and does not contain any
RBCs or WBCs (unwanted cells), risk of
pain and inļ¬ammation due to GFC itself is
minimal. The reactions are generally
injection related and have a mild to moderate
impact. These usually resolve in 7 days or
less.
