Farmacovigilancia ocular (Coursera)

Farmacovigilancia ocular (Coursera)

En este curso, el participante identificará entre una reacción adversa al medicamento, un evento temporalmente asociado a vacunas y las consecuencias adversas de las tecnologías médicas. Se busca la mejora de la seguridad del paciente al disminuir el riesgo de pérdida de la visión o afecciones oculares secundarias a través de la valoración del caso y la aplicación de técnicas diagnósticas oculares.

La farmacovigilancia ocular es una actividad que puede realizar cualquier profesional de la salud, en el entendido de que busca la efectividad del fármaco y el seguimiento de problemas comunes poco identificados en la población, los cuales dependen de las potenciales interacciones medicamentosas (fármaco-fármaco, fármaco-alimento, fármaco-planta medicinal).

Al término del curso:
• Promoverás la actividad de identificación y notificación de reacciones adversas a medicamentos (RAM), eventos temporalmente asociados a vacunas (ESAVI), y consecuencias del uso de dispositivos médicos (tecnovigilancia).

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Morfofisiología ocular
En este módulo, conocerás las características básicas que identifican al tejido ocular como un órgano inmunológicamente privilegiado. Éstas se relacionan con la presencia de un efecto farmacológico y su posible respuesta ante la presencia de fármacos.

WEEK 2
Farmacocinética ocular
En este módulo, conocerás lo que es la farmacología y los cuatro procesos que componen a la farmacocinética ocular (absorción, distribución, biotransformaciòn y eliminación. También revisarás cómo afectan estos elementos a la visión de los pacientes.

WEEK 3
Farmacovigilancia ocular
En este módulo, conocerás aspectos generales y específicos de farmacovigilancia. También revisarás los programas para identificar y valorar los eventos o incidentes adversos producidos por medicamentos (RAM), vacunación o inmunización (ESAVI) o dispositivos médicos (TV), así como la definición y clasificación de cada uno, para la implementación de la notificación espontánea.

WEEK 4
Seguimiento y recomendaciones terapéuticas
En este módulo, aprenderás a evaluar la visión de los pacientes sospechosos de presentar un evento adverso con la finalidad de darle seguimiento a una condición relacionada con la farmacovigilancia.

The Brain and Space (Coursera)

This course is about how the brain creates our sense of spatial location from a variety of sensory and motor sources, and how this spatial sense in turn shapes our cognitive abilities. Knowing where things are is effortless. But “under the hood,” your brain must figure out even the simplest of details about the world around you and your position in it.

Preclinical Safety: From In Vitro Assays to Human Dose Predictions (edX)

Drugs are approved based on their “safety and efficacy”. Determining the safety of a drug occurs through studies that are largely completely separate from efficacy studies. The safety studies fall under the umbrella of preclinical safety. While a drug’s therapeutic benefit is typically narrow and well-defined, the potential safety risks of a compound can be very broad. Preclinical studies therefore search broadly in order to reveal any possible safety issues in a compound. Safety studies ultimately determine dosing limits for clinical trials as well as the final approved drug product.

Future Healthcare Payment Models (Coursera)

This course will review the drivers of healthcare cost and solutions that have been proposed to address cost, quality and value of health care. Many point blame for high costs on payment models that pay healthcare providers for every service they provide to patients, essentially paying more for volume and service intensity. This is called a Fee for Service (FFS) payment model. Some solutions, arguably the more sustainable solutions, are the combined strategies of new payment models, care management, insurance plan designs, consumer engagement tools, and technology.
