Abstract:
In face of major public health emergencies, how to ensure the orderly and stable operation of city hospitals? Based on the theory and method of complex network, in this paper, we put forward the construction method of city hospital referral networks, analyze the static characteristics of the constructed network, discuss the invulnerability of networks with four attacking modes, and propose two ways (or integrated) to optimize the invulnerability of networks, which are: (i) Identifying and protecting key hospitals that can increase network invulnerability, (ii) Adding hospitals to the network.

Objective The interdependence of hospitals is underappreciated in patient outcomes studies. We used a network science approach to foreground this interdependence. Specifically, within two large state-based interhospital networks, we examined the relationship of a hospital’s network position with in-hospital mortality and length of stay. Methods We constructed interhospital network graphs using data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project and the American Hospital Association Annual Survey for Florida (2014) and California (2011).

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to explore the features of sustainable antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs in Australian rural hospitals and develop recommendations on incorporating these features into rural hospitals’ AMS programs. MethodsLead AMS clinicians with knowledge of at least one AMS program sustained for >2 years in a health service in rural Australia were recruited to the study. A series of interviews was conducted and the transcripts analysed thematically using a framework method. ResultsFifteen participants from various professional disciplines were interviewed. Ke

The article analysed the availability of healthcare services in terms of assumptions and implementation of the act “hospital network”. The aim of the research was to try to answer the question about the impact of the creation of a hospital network on the availability of healthcare. The provisions of the act and implementing acts were analysed, as well as the effects of the reform, including: the structure of the hospital network, the number and value of healthcare services, the degree of performance by hospitals of contracts with the NFZ, waiting time for healthcare services and the number of

Since psychiatric crisis treatment is crucial in mental health care, this study aimed to characterize the psychiatric crisis in the hospital emergency services of Natal/RN. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 33 professionals employed in four local public hospitals. The results revealed the absence of adequate beds for psychiatric conditions, scarcity of psychiatric drugs, lack of clarity regarding diagnostic criteria, treatment based on chemical restraint and inpatient care as a priority strategy. Furthermore, there is fragmentation of the work processes with physician centrality i

Abstract:
Background: Patient sharing between hospitals has long been known to be a contributor to the regional transmission of hospital-acquired infections. This inter–healthcare-facility connectedness suggests that regional, as opposed to local, control and surveillance strategies should be favored. However, the absence of easily and universally accessible patient transfer data hampers researchers and public health agencies who wish to build accurate network models of interfacility transmissions. Medicare data offer only a biased subsample of the full patient transfer network, but because it is widely

Introduction The sustainability of public hospital financing in Spain is a recurring issue, given its representativeness in annual public healthcare budgets which must adapt to the macroeconomic challenges that influence the evolution of spending. Knowing whether the responsiveness of hospital expenditure to its determinants (need, utilisation, and quasi-prices) varies according to the type of hospital could help better design strategies aimed at optimising performance.

(2) Adoption of a shared protocol for the surveillance of Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs). Only the first CRKP isolate for each patient has been included in the surveillance in each hospital.

Abstract Background The NHSN recently updated risk adjustment models and “rebaselined” Standardized Infection Ratios (SIRs) for healthcare-associated infections. The CDC expected that hospital SIRs would generally increase. However, the impact of rebaselining on individual hospitals’ SIRs was unknown. Accordingly, we assessed the impact of rebaselining on SIRs in a network of community hospitals.

INTRODUCTION: Management of patients with brain metastasis (BrM) is complex and interdisciplinary, with patients transitioning between distinct hospitals within an interconnected network at different points of their disease. Prior neurosurgical health delivery quality studies often analyze hospitals in isolation, negating the complexities of patient journey. A facility’s position in an integrated clinical network may therefore play a critical consideration in patient management and outcomes. METHODS: We selected BrM patients using ICD codes from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCU

Modern healthcare facility management aims to enhance service quality while optimizing patient and staff comfort. A critical challenge lies in energy consumption, which directly impacts service continuity. Hospitals rely heavily on electricity, leading to high operational costs and disturbances in the electrical network due to power-intensive equipment such as incandescent lamps and transformers. In line with Morocco’s 2030 renewable energy strategy, many hospitals are adopting optimized and hybrid energy management policies.
