Abstract:

47 Background: A significant number of advanced cancer admissions to intensive care unit (ICU) are inappropriate, as they do not prolonged survival. No clear consensus criteria for reasonable admissions of advanced cancer patients have been developed. Methods: We established four criteria for ICU admissions in advanced cancer patients: post procedure complication, recent cancer diagnosis, good performance status and life expectancy of > 6 months. We reviewed charts of all patients who died in the ICU at a university-affiliated hospital between 2005-2010. We then identified advanced cancer p

Abstract:

Hospital beds are one of the most critical medical resources. Large hospitals in China have caused bed utilization rates to exceed 100% due to long-term extra beds. To alleviate the contradiction between the supply of high-quality medical resources and the demand for hospitalization, in this paper, we address the decision of choosing a case mix for a respiratory medicine department. We aim to generate an optimal admission plan of elective patients with the stochastic length of stay and different resource consumption. We assume that we can classify elective patients according to their registrat

Increasingly, third party payers are challenging the necessity of a hospital admission for endoscopic procedures.

A retrospective review of 200 in-patient admissions between 1987 and 1990 for direct laryngoscopy or panendoscopy is presented. Complications were classified as major for untoward events that required hospitailzation for proper management. Complications were otherwise considered minor. T

Failure to consider these factors has led to inadequate service provision in some areas and inequity in funding.

Abstract:

101 Background: The Inpatient (Inpt) Oncology Service at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, a large urban academic NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center was charged with identifying opportunities to link patient (pt) quality improvement and decreased length of stay (LOS) in pts admitted for elective chemotherapy (EC). Historically, EC admissions were delayed due to pt variables, inpt bed availability, and chemotherapy order entry errors. Often chemotherapy was not initiated until late evening on day of admission, resulting in increased LOS. Safety concerns associated with late starts includ

Abstract:

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the impact of advanced care planning (ACP) on potentially avoidable hospital admissions at the end of life (EOL) among a sample of hospice-referred patients with cancer, in order to present actionable considerations for the practicing clinician. Methods: This study was designed as a retrospective cohort using electronic health record data that assessed likelihood of hospital admissions in the last 30 days of life for 1185 patients with a primary diagnosis of cancer, referred to hospice between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2015, at a large academic me

Abstract:

161 Background: Advanced cancer patients often receive aggressive end of life care despite questionable benefit. As a result, there are ongoing efforts to improve end of life care and coordinate palliative care supportive services. This study is an expansion of a previous study performed examining descriptive data in a population of oncology patients who died within 30 days of admission. Here, we compare patients who died within 30 days of admission against those who survived to evaluate differences in patient characteristics and healthcare utilization. Methods: Adult oncology patients who wer

Abstract:

16 Background: Advance care planning (ACP) is fundamental in quality palliative care. There is no data detailing the demand for ACP discussions in hospitals, nor any standard objective criteria to decide urgency of such discussions. This cross-sectional study addresses this by comparing the ability of two commonly used instruments to detect palliative patients, and to predict death in the current admission. Methods: All inpatients were censored from the largest tertiary hospital in the state on a single inpatient day. 475 patients were followed for 3 months or until discharge or death, whichev

Abstract:

This study investigated the impact of different lengths of pre-task planning time on performance in a test of second language speaking ability for university admission. In the study, 47 Turkish-speaking learners of English took a test of English language speaking ability. The participants were divided into two groups according to their language proficiency, which was estimated through a paper-based English placement test. They each completed four monologue tasks: two picture-based narrative tasks and two description tasks. In a balanced design, each test taker was allowed a different length of

Abstract:

210 Background: Delays in initiating inpatient (inpt) chemotherapy (chemo) for planned admissions can decrease patient (pt) satisfaction and increase length of stay and healthcare costs. Our center, a community public teaching hospital, lacked clear standard operating procedures for scheduled chemo admissions, resulting in significant delays. We developed a process improvement initiative to reduce the pt wait time from admission to chemo administration (time to chemo [TTC]). Methods: A multidisciplinary team was formed to clarify workflows and identify root causes prolonging wait times for pts
