Seroprevalence of hepatitis B and C virus infections among health students and health care workers in the najran region, southwestern Saudi Arabia: The need for national guidelines for health students
Conclusion: It is mandatory to develop a structured program to raise awareness among HS, and current health colleges' curricula should be upgraded to address these issues early. The HS should be considered new recruits to health services in terms of their initial screening for blood-borne infections and vaccination against HBV. The development of a novel continuing medical education and pre-employment awareness program for HCWs is recommended to address the following: blood-borne diseases transmitted occupationally, standard precautions to prevent occupationally transmitted blood borne infections, and safe injection practices.

Implementation of an electronic medical record does not change delivery of preventive care for HIV-positive patients
Conclusions: As EMR implementation expands, it is important to evaluate the effects that EMRs have on patient outcomes, including preventive health provision. Our study showed that after implementation of an EMR, the provision of most preventive care measures did not improve. This finding is in agreement with many published studies. Some studies have found positive effects from EMRs that may be attributable to specific aspects of EMRs. Further study of the effect of specific EMR attributes on health care outcomes is needed.
