Information Management in Disaster and Humanitarian Response: A Case in United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

To guarantee a unified response to disasters, humanitarian organizations work together via the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Although the OCHA has made great strides to improve its information management and increase the availability of accurate, real-time data for disaster and humanitarian response teams, significant gaps persist. There are inefficiencies in the emergency management of data at every stage of its lifecycle: collection, processing, analysis, distribution, storage, and retrieval. Disaster risk reduction and disaster risk management are the two main tenets of the United Nations’ worldwide plan for disaster management. Information systems are crucial because of the crucial roles they play in capturing, processing, and transmitting data. The management of information is seldom discussed in published works. The goal of this study is to employ qualitative research methods to provide insight by facilitating an expanded comprehension of relevant contexts, phenomena, and individual experiences. Humanitarian workers and OCHA staffers will take part in the research. The study subjects will be chosen using a random selection procedure. Online surveys with both closed- and open-ended questions will be used to compile the data. UN OCHA offers a structure for the handling of information via which all humanitarian actors may contribute to the overall response. This research will enable the UN Office for OCHA better gather, process, analyze, disseminate, store, and retrieve data in the event of a catastrophe or humanitarian crisis.

All-cause hospitalizations for inflammatory bowel diseases:Can the reason for admission provide information on inpatient resource use?A study from a large veteran affairs hospital

Background:Inflammatory bowel diseases(IBDs) are group of chronic inflammatory illnesses with a remitting and relapsing course that may result in appreciable morbidity and high medical costs secondary to repeated hospitalizations.The study's objectives were to identify the reasons for hospitalization among patients with IBDs,and compare inpatient courses and readmission rates for IBD-related admissions versus non-IBD-related admissions.Methods:A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients with IBD admitted to the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs(VA) Medical Center between September 2010 and September 2012.Results:A total of 111 patients with IBD were admitted during the 2-year study period.IBD flares/complications accounted for 36.9% of the index admissions.Atherothrombotic events comprised the second most common cause of admissions(14.4%) in IBD patients.Patients with an index admission directly related to IBD were significantly younger and had developed IBD more recently.Unsurprisingly,the IBD admission group had significantly more gastrointestinal endoscopies and abdominal surgeries,and was more likely to be started on medication for IBD during the index stay.The median length of stay(LOS) for the index hospitalization for an IBD flare or complication was 4(2–8) days compared with 2(1–4) days for the other patients(P=0.001).A smaller percentage of the group admitted for an IBD flare/complication had a shorter ICU stay compared with the other patients(9.8% vs.15.7%,respectively); however,their ICU LOSs tended to be longer(4.5 vs.2.0 days,respectively,P=0.17).Compared to the other admission types,an insignificantly greater percentage of the group whose index admission was related to an IBD flare or complication had at least one readmission within 6 months of discharge(29% versus 21%; P=0.35).The rate of admission was approximately 80% greater in the group whose index admission was related to an IBD flare or complication compared to the other types of admission(rate ratio 1.8,95% confidence interval 0.96 to 3.4),although this difference did not reach statistical significance(P=0.07).Conclusion:Identifying the reasons for the patients' index admission,IBD flares versus all other causes,may provide valuable information concerning admission care and the subsequent admission history.

Attempt to Interfere in China’s Internal Affairs by Using Xinjiang-Related Issues Bound to Fail

Recently,the U.S.House of Representatives flagrantly passed the so-called“Uygur Human Rights Policy Act of 2019,”interfering in China’s internal affairs by disregarding the facts.Such hegemonic acts and power logic have aroused great indignation and strong condemnation from Chinese people of all ethnic groups.As a senior diplomat familiar with Middle East affairs,the act immediately reminded me that some people in the United States have carried out“street revolutions”in many Middle East countries under the guise of“human rights”and“democracy.”To overthrow the governments they dislike,they do not hesitate to use terrorist organizations to stir up endless wars and turmoil,thus bringing about a series of disasters in some countries,which had been in perfectly good conditions,causing untold suffering to the people and serious humanitarian disasters.It is the United States that has double standards on the fight against terrorism and human rights issues and uses anti-terrorism as a means of implementing geopolitics,resulting in regional turmoil and unrest.
