It is important to be healthy. There are many ways

to keep our body healthy. Maintaining a healthy body is
not that easy and not so difficult also. Your body should
get enough time to take rest. Make sure you get a sleep
of 8 hours daily. Sleep is very important for healthy body
and also for mental and emotional happiness.
Sleeping is a basic human need, like eating,
drinking, and breathing. Like these other needs,
sleeping is a vital part of the foundation for good health
and well-being throughout your lifetime. Sleep deficiency
can lead to physical and mental health problems,
injuries, loss of productivity, and even a greater risk of
death.
Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-
being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep
at the right times can help protect your mental health,
physical health, quality of life, and safety.
The way you feel while you're awake depends in
part on what happens while you're sleeping. During
sleep, your body is working to support healthy brain
function and maintain your physical health. In children
and teens, sleep also helps support growth and
development.
Sleep helps your brain work properly. While you're
sleeping, your brain is preparing for the next day. It's
forming new pathways to help you learn and remember
information.
Studies show that a good night's sleep improves
learning. Whether you're learning math, how to play the
piano, how to perfect your golf swing, or how to drive a
car, sleep helps enhance your learning and problem-
solving skills. Sleep also helps you pay attention, make
decisions, and be creative.
Sleep plays an important role in your physical
health. For example, sleep is involved in healing and
repair of your heart and blood vessels. Ongoing sleep
deficiency is linked to an increased risk of heart disease,
kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes,
and stroke. 
Sleep deficiency also increases the risk of obesity.
For example, one study of teenagers showed that with
each hour of sleep lost, the odds of becoming obese
went up. Sleep deficiency increases the risk of obesity in
other age groups as well.
Getting enough quality sleep at the right times helps
you function well throughout the day. People who are
sleep deficient are less productive at work and school.
They take longer to finish tasks, have a slower reaction
time, and make more mistakes.
After several nights of losing sleep—even a loss of
just 1–2 hours per night—your ability to function suffers
as if you haven't slept at all for a day or two. Lack of
sleep also may lead to microsleep. Microsleep refers to
brief moments of sleep that occur when you're normally
awake.
As a result, sleep deficiency is not only harmful on a
personal level, but it also can cause large-scale
damage. For example, sleep deficiency has played a
role in human errors linked to tragic accidents, such as
nuclear reactor meltdowns, grounding of large ships,
and aviation accidents.

Improving healthcare quality can be viewed on both a
macro and a micro level, as something that will require
sweeping, systemic change of the entire healthcare system and
as something that individual physicians can practice for their
patients.
For instance, the healthcare industry could dramatically
improve healthcare quality by instituting greater transparency
and requiring practitioners to use patient-centered EHRs that
are readily accessible to all care providers and the patients
themselves. By the same token, physicians can improve
healthcare quality for their patients by following protocol to keep
patients safe from infection, following-up more regularly, or
connecting their patients to better resources.
If you can’t measure it, then you can’t manage it. The first
step to improving the quality of care at your organization is to
analyze your existing data to understand where opportunities
exist. You should analyze both your patient population and your
organizational operations to identify areas for improvement.
Then, use this data to establish a baseline for patient
outcomes. Ideally, the wealth of available data and IT-based
systems ought to enable more patient-centered, connected
care.
Once you’ve analyzed your patient population data to
understand their risk and studied your practice operations to
identify areas for improvement, it’s time to prioritize those areas
and set goals. If you need some help, there are several health
organizations with established quality and consistency
measures that could guide your goal-setting process.
 Having access to care is the single most important factor
for improving quality healthcare and patient outcomes. Patients
must have access to the right care at the right time in order to
get the right results. Unfortunately, close to 15 percent of the
population is still uninsured, which dramatically reduces these
patients’ access to timely care, makes them go without
preventive or primary care, and forces them to rely on higher
cost (and, therefore, lower value) services. 
Patients can be the best advocates for their own health,
but first they have to be engaged and taught to be proactive
healthcare consumers. This is not an easy task, but it’s one that
primary care providers are particularly well-prepared to
undertake. Primary care physicians are better set up to see the
patient’s entire healthcare journey than medical professionals
who work at hospitals, specialist care centers, or urgent care
facilities.
Finally, healthcare organizations that truly want to improve
their quality of care should regularly research and learn from
other organizations—both in their own region and across the
country. Go back to those areas for improvement you identified
and goals that you set and look for other healthcare
organizations that excel in those areas. To find these
organizations, keep your ear to the ground about healthcare
facilities that are experiencing success in a certain area, attend
conferences, read the literature, and research online. 
For me, the best way to improve healthcare will be to hear
of the importance of quality of care in our hospitals. However,
what everyone needs to know is that quality of care goes
beyond simply ensuring our patients get the proper level of help
when they’re in our facilities. Because as we all know, low-
quality healthcare in the long-term costs both time and money.
Without a doubt, this isn’t an overnight fix. This is something
that will take years of continuous work. Something we should
be laying the foundation for now. So what steps should we be
performing today to ensure this doesn’t become an issue down
the road? While much of what’s left to be done is up to the
government to implement the necessary policies and
procedures to ensure success, there are things that can be
done at the hospital level to prepare.
Next, do your research. Read, watch or talk to anything
and everything you can get your hands on. Webinars, case
studies, and scholarly papers to understand the approaches
these hospitals have taken. What are they doing that your
organization is not? Set your achievement benchmarks–both
personal and organization so you have a clear cut definition of
what success means.
Evidence-based practices contain all the necessary
information required to perform a task correctly. This is why it’s
important to implement the use of evidence-based learning,
and in some case intervention to ensure all staff members are
performing procedures to standard and have a clear
understanding as to why.

Now is the time to modernize. All around us technological

advancements are being made with no exceptions.
Modernizing today means future-proofing for tomorrow.
But what does this have to do with population health? Well, you
can be sure that as regulating bodies work to make
improvements to the system there will come an onslaught of
new quality policies along with amendments to old ones.
Knowing this, having the tools in place to easily and quickly
implement and disseminate these policies across your hospital
or system will offer you a piece of mind manual process just
can’t offer.
 
Further to these three points, hospitals and health
systems should also focus on competent care and user
experience to ensure confidence. A change in attitude is also
important in this journey. More specifically, rather than seeing
patients as work, look to them as partners to the betterment of
healthcare.
