Aim and objectives: To describe the ideal doctors' shift handover process in a systematic fashion, and to identify tasks that should be performed, but are not consistently done. To understand the types of communication problems that may occur during the handover process, their causes, their likelihood of occurrence and their effect on patient safety. Method: Three studies were conducted in two, Scottish Acute Medical Units. A Hierarchical Task Analysis was performed and data was collected by means of interviews and focus groups.

Abstract:

Accurate mortality prediction in intensive care units (ICUs) allows for the risk adjustment of study populations, aids in patient care and provides a method for benchmarking overall hospital and ICU performance. ICU risk-adjustment models are primarily comprised of an integer severity of illness score which increases with increasing patient risk of mortality. First published in the 1980s, the improvements to these scores primarily consisted of increasing the dimensionality of the model, and hence also increasing their complexity. This thesis aims to improve upon these models. First, the field

A cohort of 2,143 adult patients with sepsis and hypotension was identified from the MIMIC-II database (v2.26).

Abstract:

To identify those with kidney disease early and thus facilitate earlier instigation of disease-progression slowing treatments, new definitions of chronic kidney disease (CKD) were introduced in 2002 (KDOQI). After this, the worldwide introduction of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting (2006 onwards), also facilitated more widespread identification of those with CKD. Prognosis in those with CKD identified in this way was not known and the numbers with CKD appeared higher than originally expected.

Abstract:

The rising costs of health care and burgeoning government deficits have prompted new ways to control costs, while continuing to provide necessary health care. One method increasingly chosen by states to achieve these objectives is managed health care. There are many forms of managed care organization today. There are HMOs that provide the financing and delivery systems under the control of a single for-profit or non-profit organization; preferred provider organizations consisting of providers that have a pre-negotiated and usually discounted rate for services; administration service organizati

Abstract:

The aging experience of men and women in rural America is different than that of their urban counterparts. In this study, I identified key disparities in access to health care, mortality, and utilization of health care that result from geographic location. Foundational theories are discussed to illustrate that disparities can originate from historical societal behaviors. Secondary data and literary reviews create a combined qualitative and quantitative approach to explore the rural/urban divide, concluding that the potential for increased disparities as the aging population grows is very real

Abstract Patients with acute drug poisonings are common in emergency departments and hospitals. Patients typically ingest medical products, most commonly psychotropic drugs that lead to intoxication. The outcome is usually good and hospital stays are short, even among patients requiring intensive care. Complications such as aspiration pneumonia can prolong hospital stays. Acute mortality is low (usually less than 5%) but repetition of self-harm is common and long-term mortality is high.
