Significant Difference In Medical Surgical Admission Rates

The ASC (Ambulatory Surgical Center) provides a variety of career opportunities. Basically, a ASC is a health care facility where surgical procedures not requiring an overnight hospital stay are performed. I have been able to shadow several jobs within the ASC. Out of all the careers, a PACU nurse sparked an interest. PACU Nurses are specialized to work in the post anesthesia care unit. They provide intensive care and treatment for patients who have gone under anesthesia. PACU RNs can also be referred to as a recovery room nurse.

First and foremost, if a hospital is suddenly lost all of its cardiovascular surgeons...heads will roll. However, if there are a major lost of service such as the cardiovascular surgeon...there will be a decrease in the volume due to the lost of services. Thus when the hospital have a reduce in the total volume it will also have a reduce in total cost. If the hospital is operating under statistics budget...in the long run, through the development or discontinuation of certain programs volume may be

Been working at the same facility for 22 years. Started working in CT-ICU (cardio thoracic intensive care), in 1993. The ratio was 1:2 or 1:1 if patient was just out of the operating room. Now the ratio is 2:1 or 3:1, in really acute cases 1:1. For the past 7 years been in a surgical ICU (SICU). The turnover rate is high. Which means that we are working 3:1 ratio. There has been a section of the unit for step down patients, with a 4:1 ratio. The acuity is high and we have a fair amount of new nurses. Presently we have 4 nurses that aren’t off probation. With the shortage of nurses, the facility has instituted to cross train nurses to the recovery room and CT-ICU, along with floating to other units. This band aid causes more duress

There are four common uses for comparative data in the healthcare field: Compare current expenses to current budget, compare current actual expenses to prior periods in own organization, compare to other organizations and compare to industry standards. When assessing data, it should remain consistent to make sure that the data being analyzed is completed by the same list of principles. Comparing performance of clinical data with claims and administrative data, can give knowledge into patterns that may affect the organization. The data can be used to develop insights to improve performance.

We are going to need more surgeons in the future. In 2014 there were about 5,700 surgeons in California and in 2024 we are going to need 7,300. The 2014 number when up by 1,600 surgeons , or by 28.1% . I think that we are going to continue to need more because the more time goes on, the more people will get hurt, which leads to more people needing medical attention or surgeries done on the.

The method of this research was to analyze trends in door-to-ballon time and in hospital mortality using data from over 96,000 patients that had been admitted from July 2005 through July 2009; these patients were admitted for undergoing PCI for ST- segment elevation MI.

A comparison will be held against non-profit hospitals and for-profit hospitals in regards to their operating costs focused on uncompensated care and their operating profit margins. The locations and statuses of the hospitals will also be taken into account and explained to add more context and clarity to the true meaning of their dollars. The comparison will be displayed not only in a paragraph format but also in a bar graph visual to accentuate and clarify the either vague or noticeable difference between the hospitals.

One study conducted in five Danish hospital in Denmark.the sample size are 1000 patients its large sample size .and the study are Retrospective observational study.used list of triggers(VTE,pressure ulcer ,medication ,infection,falls,procedure ,gastrointestinal device failure)

We performed a longitudinal retrospective patient record review study in 21 randomly sampled hospitals in 2004, and 20 in 2008 out of the total of 93 Dutch hospitals. Eight hospitals were studied in both years. Both samples were stratified for hospital type, university, tertiary teaching and general hospitals, and a proper representation of both urban and rural settings in the samples were verified. Tertiary teaching hospitals in The Netherlands provide specialised care and train doctors. The level of care given is between that given in a university hospital and in a general hospital. Generally speaking, university hospitals and, to some extent, tertiary teaching hospitals tend to treat more complex patients

I work in a very busy medical unit where most our patients have CHF and require lots of teaching and monitoring. I have seen our patient ratio increase during last couples of years, which has become a huge problem not only for our unit, but for the entirely hospital. I remember, years ago, when I first started, we just to have 4 patients and now we are up to 6, and we sometimes have crazy days of 7 patients, which I should say is very scary. As a result, we don’t have the time to do our job, and not even mentioned patient teaching and this has dramatically affect patient outcomes, especially patient satisfaction, patient readmission and of course, nurse retention. Because of the ratios, with too many patients to safely care for, nurses are

Unplanned reoperation rates represent an important metric in monitoring quality across a heterogeneous range of Orthopaedic procedures, as well as identifying possibilities for improvement. A current limitation is often, studies focus on the perioperative time period in examining reoperation rates, leaving important complications which arise beyond an acute time period unaccounted for. To our knowledge, this is the first study to quantitatively assess a 1-year global reoperation rate for all orthopaedic surgeries performed at a department. We seek to explore if this specific metric is an important benchmark for assessing quality in the field of Orthopaedic surgery.

From figure 1 above, the table representation of the data from this study indicates that hospitals with high percentage/rate of 30-days readmission for heart failure patients such as Norths Hospital (21.5%) have a very low rate of mortality within 30-days of hospital admission (6.6%). Whereas, some hospitals such as the Metho Hospital has low Readmission rate for heart failure patients (20.7%) but high percentage for mortality rate (12%). On the other hand, there are some hospitals such as the Norwe hospital with a high rate of hospital readmission within 30 days (22.1) and relatively high mortality rate (11.9). But there seem to be some exceptions where there are close ranges between the two variables in hospitals such as Thor Hospital, where

Stanford University Hospital is one of the most innovative hospitals on the West Coast. It is run by a progressive University dedicated to reinvestment in healthcare strategies and improving technological foundations within its leading position in the healthcare industry. Currently, it is being driven by goals to improve patient satisfaction and clinical productivity.

The findings of our study may be somewhat limited by study design. In quasi experimental design, there is a potential for confounders. So to evaluate the effect of external confounders we used a non-equivalent control group. However using non-equivalent control group is problematic, but in single hospital it is not possible to select an equivalent control group in comparison to intervention group.

In a sample of 2000 institutions, the average number of female outpatients was 200.39. (s = 304.59). This is almost the same as the mean. A one sample t-test shows that this difference in mean is not significant, t(1999) = 0.057, p = 0.955. The 95% confidence interval indicates that the average female outpatients different from 200 is between 13.74 and 12.97 lesser.
