Abstract:

Abstract Patient summary documents provide crucial information about a patient, like allergies and adverse reactions, which are necessary for an efficient and safe treatment and offer a quick overview of the patients health status. Automatically generating patient summaries from Electronic Health Records (EHR) reduces the workload of medical personnel. Nevertheless, existing approaches do not take several challenges that occur in live operation into account. Based on a health standard-compliant approach, a system for on-demand generation of patient summaries was implemented and evaluated using real data. This work shows several problems which could be identified. Those problems are not covered sufficiently by current research. Possible approaches to a solution are suggested, which have to be further investigated in future work.

Abstract:

To ensure that tissues arc well oxygenated, oxygen supply and demand are now targets of therapy for the critically ill patient. This chapter reviews the physiologic determinants of oxygen supply, how it is threatened by respiratory or cardiac dysfunction or by hemorrhaged or anemic states, and how it can be assessed in individual patients. Activities and conditions that increase tissue oxygen demand arc examined so that clinicians can identify those patients whose oxygen demands may be excessive and should be controlled. Failure of tissues to consume enough oxygen is explained in patients with critically low delivery or with the maldistributed blood flow state seen in sepsis. The monitoring of mixed venous oxygen saturation is examined as a method of tracking the threats to supply/demand balance and of guiding treatment that can support the adequate oxygenation of tissue

Abstract:

Medical readiness requires Department of Defense medical clinics to be robust to changes in patient demand. Minor fluctuations in patient demand occur on a regular basis, but major increases can also occur. Major demand increases can result from a number of occurrences, including mass military deployments, medical incidents, outbreaks, and overflow from Veterans’ Affairs clinics. This research evaluates a system of clinics at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in order to determine its ability to handle a 200% surge in patient demand. In addition, this study evaluates the relative effectiveness of six different staffing mix options to minimize patient wait times, also under the surge demand conditions. This evaluation is conducted using discrete-event simulation to estimate patient wait times and includes a sensitivity analysis of the increased patient demand, as well as a cost–benefit analysis to determine the most cost-effective alternative scenario. The study finds that adjustments to staffing mix enable cost savings while meeting current demands. In addition, the study finds that adjusting the staffing mix will not have a negative impact on patient wait time in the surge conditions, relative to the current staffing mix.

Abstract:

BackgroundIncreased demand for endovascular thrombectomy has increased the likelihood of simultaneous patient presentation leading to competing demand for time-critical treatment that could adversely impact patient outcomes. We aimed to quantify the occurrence of simultaneous patient presentation at different patient volumes.MethodsEmpirical distributions for time of patient presentation and case duration were used to probabilistically generate arrival time and case duration for a set annual patient volume, ranging from 1 to 500 cases per year, for 16 000 independent trials at each volume. Time series were generated for each trial to represent the number of cases being performed at each minute of the year. Time series were used to calculate daily thrombectomy demand, annual concurrent demand, and hourly excess demand.ResultsThe patient volumes at which at least one annual occurrence of concurrent demand by two patients was 50% and 97.5% likely were 45 and 101, respectively. The volumes at which at least one annual occurrence of concurrent demand by three patients was 50% and 97.5% likely were 216 and 387, respectively. There was dramatic variation in the occurrence of excess demand by two or more patients throughout the day.ConclusionsThe occurrence of simultaneous presentation by multiple patients for endovascular thrombectomy varies with annual patient volume and time of day. Understanding these trends and the associated patient impact can inform intelligent strategies at regional and national levels for optimizing patient care within real-world financial and operational constraints.

Abstract:

The North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) does not have direct access to any information regarding patient health history, current medication, allergies, etc. that might assist an ambulance crew when they are dispatched to an emergency incident. Therefore, an ambulance crew responding to a call-out usually travels to the incident ‘information blind’ regarding the patient’s general health status. What makes the ambulance service in general, and the ambulance crew in particular, unique from other healthcare organizations is the spectrum of exposure to a diversity of health organizations (care homes, GPs, hospitals, etc.), and none-health organizations (police, social services, fire forces,etc.). This thesis describes an investigation into the feasibility of implementing a software Information Broker (IB) prototype, that has the ability to provide ‘on-demand’ electronic health information to ambulance crews while on scene, by accessing a set of autonomous databases containing patient records. This is to support the ambulance crew with reliable patient information in order to assist their decision-making process, therefore, reduce unnecessary patients’ conveyance to the Emergency Department (ED). The thesis also examines the sociotechnical issues surrounding health information transfer between and within the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom (UK) for patients with epilepsy (PWE), specifically in the North East region of England. A case study approach was employed as an overarching framework for the feasibility study of the IB prototype. This case study was centred upon studying the needs of people with epilepsy (PWE), as this group has been identified by NEAS as frequent users of the ambulance service. In many cases, if the ambulance crew are given adequate information to support their decision-making, they do not need to convey patients to a hospital ED unless necessary. Within the case study, a phenomenological approach was employed for the set of perspectives used for investigating the sociotechnical issues surrounding the IB. The three perspectives were the perceptions of NEAS operational and management staff, those of the JCUH staff and PWE/carers, and finally, the perceptions of the ambulance crew. The prototype IB technology has demonstrated the feasibility of using an information transfer broker to transfer information from autonomous organizations to the ambulance crew on scene. Overcoming technical challenges alone is not sufficient for this success. Stakeholders’ requirements, organization collaboration, compliance with national standards and targets, social and technical aspects, and so forth, are other issues that have been considered. Involvement of potential stakeholders in stages of any Health and Information Technology (HIT) development is an essential element to be included, as much as possible, to satisfy those requirements and needs of end-users. Improving the data availability to the ambulance crews on scene via an IB, means that they can perform better decision-making while on scene with a patient. The demonstration of the IB prototype has shown its potential for transferring patient health information from an autonomous database to ambulance crews. To increase opportunities of success, shared incentives and aims of the intra- and inter-organizational communication and collaboration should facilitate the implementation of HIT. Facilitating incremental improvements of systems and technologies may have an effect on the organization as a whole in terms of robustness of systems and technologies.

Abstract:

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are prevalent among health care workers worldwide and underreporting among nurses may mask the true impact of these injuries. Nursing staff are consistently among the top 10 occupations at risk for experiencing WMSDs and patient-handling tasks are the precipitating event in the majority of back injuries experienced among nursing staff. Existing research has focused on patient-handling issues within long-term care facilities, and identifying physically demanding patient-handling tasks. The first study in this dissertation (Chapter 3) was conducted to determine whether nurses in acute care facilities are exposed to the same hazards as their cohorts in long-term care. The aim was to identify the top 10 patient-handling tasks being conducted and to rank these tasks by perceived physical demand. This two-phase study consisted of a procedural task analysis of patient-handling activities, and a questionnaire to identify the characteristics of the study population and obtain a ranking of physically demanding patient-handling tasks. All nurses providing direct inpatient care were recruited to participate in both phases of this study. Compared to long-term care facilities, in which the majority of tasks have been shown to be associated with performance of ADL tasks, the most frequently observed tasks in the acute care facility were repositioning tasks. Therefore, it is important to determine the patient-handling demands and needs that are unique to each type of healthcare facility. Generalizing across facilities or units may lead to incorrect assumptions and conclusions about physical demands being placed on nurses. A laboratory simulation was used for the second study (Chapter 4). The top four physically demanding patient-handling tasks (taken from Chapter 3) were simulated to determine the effect of an assistive device and assistance from another person. Sixteen nurse volunteers were recruited and provided perceptual responses regarding exertion and injury risk. Nurses perceived that assistance decreased their physical exertion and injury risk; however they consistently perceived exertion to be relatively higher than their injury risk. The aim of the third study (Chapter 5) was to determine the level of agreement between and within different expert groups. Three groups of participants were involved, with different levels of ergonomics expertise (i.e. researchers, consultants, and graduate students). These groups viewed digitized video clips from the laboratory simulation (Chapter 4) and provided ratings of perceived exertion, perceived injury risk and common WMSD risk factors (effort, posture, and speed). The major finding from this study was that poor agreement existed between nurses and the other expert groups (researchers, consultants and students). The current research laid the groundwork for measuring the magnitude of physical exposure to injury risk in the patient-handling environment. The research supports earlier evidence that suggests nurses underreport their discomfort and injury, which, in turn, contributes to increased exposure and risk. This knowledge will enable practitioners to focus interventions and designs on those factors in the work environment that contribute significantly to increased exposure and thereby more effectively reduce WMSD risk.

Full text

Abstract:

The recent expansion of general practitioner (GP) out of hours cooperatives indicates that many British GPs see this as the solution to managing out of hours work, particularly the 'problem' of 'inappropriate' demand. This thesis investigates the highly contentious subject of 'inappropriateness' of demand for out of hours GP services for children under five, and develops a methodology that allows for a reconceptualisation of the issues involved based on the beliefs, assumptions and practices of all those concerned, rather than locating the 'problem' within the province of parents alone, or within the doctor-patient relationship as a bounded system. Using a predominantly sociological and anthropological conceptual framework, the thesis draws on a synthesis of views and practice, bringing those of professionals and parents together with fieldwork observations based in the primary care centre setting. It suggests that contrary to talk about management of the 'problem' in technical, bureaucratic and medical terms, this becomes a moral issue in practice. Scientific or organisational imperatives disguise largely moral proscriptions and examples illustrate ways in which moral and emotional dimensions embedded within these social relations can conflict with particular forms of rationality. The analysis shows how organisational initiatives that fail to take account of such moral frameworks can produce unexpected and unintended consequences. The thesis illustrates the value of what is described as a dialogic process, taking account of the fluidity between voices, layers of time and space, and interchange between researcher, participants, and future audiences. The play of these issues in the rapid and extensive growth of cooperatives is discussed in the wider context of the rhetoric of consumerism and shifts in interprofessional practices and relationships. Negotiation of 'appropriate' supply of and demand for out of hours services has had a major impact on government initiatives for primary care as a whole. Thus key elements in the formation of cooperatives, originally targeted at a more narrow conceptualisation of problems, can be seen as expressing a deeper impetus for change, and serving as vehicles for more fundamental and rapid development.

Abstract:

A grande procura pelo Serviço de Emergência e a conseqüente permanência dos pacientes em repetidas admissões representam entraves para os enfermeiros, os quais são responsáveis pelo gerenciamento desses serviços. Objetivos: Caracterizar o perfil dos pacientes readmitidos em um Serviço de Emergência de um hospital filantrópico; identificar o perfil sócio-demográfico e de morbidade dos pacientes readmitidos; caracterizar a utilização do Serviço de Emergência e identificar os fatores relacionados às readmissões. Casuística e Método: estudo transversal, descritivo e exploratório realizado em um Serviço de Emergência de um hospital filantrópico de ensino, de atenção terciária, na cidade de São Paulo. A amostra foi composta por pacientes maiores de 14 anos considerados internados no Serviço de Emergência, com mais de uma admissão, nos seis meses anteriores ao dia da coleta de dados. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de instrumento estruturado com questões abertas e fechadas, e as informações foram obtidas do prontuário do paciente e por entrevista direta ao paciente ou familiares, durante todo o mês de maio de 2004. Resultados: a incidência de readmissões foi de 23,3%. Houve predomínio de pacientes do sexo masculino (61,9%), idade de 40 a 90 anos (85,9%), baixa escolaridade (57,8%) e 46,7% pertenciam à área de regionalização do SUS para o serviço estudado. Quase a totalidade (92,8%) não era cadastrada no PSF, sendo que grande parte (45,4%) referiu desconhecer o programa. As principais hipóteses diagnósticas foram as doenças do aparelho circulatório (33,7%) seguidas pelas neoplasias (24,1%). A maioria dos pacientes (57,6%) foi readmitido com o mesmo diagnóstico e 23,9% devido a complicações. Na visão dos entrevistados, como fatores desencadeantes da readmissão, 40,9% referiram causas potencialmente evitáveis. A maioria dos entrevistados referiu que seu problema não foi resolvido na internação anterior, sendo o principal motivo a continuidade dos sintomas. Conclusões: A incidência de readmissões foi elevada, podendo ter sido ocasionada por evolução da doença crônico-degenerativa, idade avançada, baixo seguimento das orientações recebidas, complicações pós-operatórias, necessidade de cuidado domiciliar e não resolução do problema na admissão anterior
The great need for the Emergency Department and the resultant length of stay of the patients in repeated admissions become a hard situation for nurses, who are responsible for the administration on this units. Objectives: characterize the readmitted patients at the Emergency Department in a philanthropyc hospital; identify the socialdemographic and morbity profile of the readmitted patients; characterize the use of the Emergency Department; identify factors associated with readmissions. Methods: transversal, descriptive and exploratory study, at the Emergency Department on a tertiary health service of a philanthropic teaching hospital in São Paulo city, the sample was made by patients over fourteen years old that became inpatient at the Emergency Department, with over than one admission until six months before the data collection day. It was used an instrument with opened and closed questions for the data collection. Data were obtained from patient records and by interview to the patient or responsible, during May 2004. Results: the readmission incidence was 23,3%. The patients were predominantly males (61,9%), age 40 to 90 years old (85,9%), low level education (57,8%); 46,7% lived at areas regarding the regionalization of the health service. Almost of all (92,8%) wasnt registered at Family Health Program, and a high proportion of patients (45,4%) were unaware of this program. The main diagnosis were circulatory disease (33,7%) followed by cancer (24,1%). Most of patients (57,6%) was readmitted with the same diagnosis and 23,9% due to complications. On the perception of 40,9% of the patients, the related factors to readmissions were classified as potentially avoidable causes. Conclusions: The readmission incidence was raised, it was can be caused by problems in adherence to treatment, gravity of chronic disease, not enough orientation, or by complications

Abstract:

AbstractThe permanent gap between organ demand and supply has prompted use of organs from extended criteria donors (ECD). These carry a higher risk of disease transmission, with regard to infections and malignancies. We present herein the donor risk stratification algorithm implemented in Italy since 2004 for identification management of donor-to-recipient risk of disease transmission. The principles underlying this algorithm are: (1) the risk of disease transmission must be assessed against the potential benefit for the transplant recipient (i.e., no donor can be excluded from evaluation and their organs might benefit potential candidates); (2) patients awaiting organ transplantation must be informed that the risk of disease transmission is small but finite (standard risk); and (3) risk evaluation is an ongoing process based on information collected longitudinally after transplantation. Regional and national transplant authorities are committed to regular updating of guidelines based on clinical data derived from clinicians and on evaluation of posttransplant graft and patient survival rates.

Abstract:

Oxygen concentration devices currently on the market have many shortcomings. They are bulky and difficult to carry. They alter a patient’s outward image with a visual mark of disability. They do not change oxygen delivery in any way to adjust to the patient’s health. They also lack indicators to help the patient decide when to begin or end a therapy session. Some patient’s decide not to take oxygen therapy as a result of these shortcomings. Those that use these devices may receive over oxygenation or under oxygenation due to the mentioned pitfalls. Any of the shortcomings described can be life threatening to the patient. The present innovation is a proposed system for oxygen delivery that adjusts flowrate based on the patient health and requires no user input to begin or end a therapy session. This paper presents a unique wearable device design for delivering oxygen in a pressure based concentration system.

Abstract:

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the cause for over 70% of global deaths. Various levels of healthcare delivery from home-care to tertiary care exist for patients where patients with NCDs are treated. Demand for services provided by tertiary level institutions has increased tremendously along with the growth and prevalence of chronic diseases. Few of the other reasons include co-morbidities, greater complexities of diseases, greater public expectations, higher life expectancy, an aging baby-boomer population, identification of diseases at later stages of life and deferral of care among many other complex scenarios. Globally, rising demand for healthcare services presently sets challenges of under-capacity and under-staffed healthcare infrastructure. With the advent of technology in healthcare and by providing tools in the hands of patients, a shift in healthcare delivery is evidenced towards early detection of diseases and prevention as a means of patient-care and for tackling non-communicable diseases. Evidence based delivery models tend to focus on patient experience in the course of treatment. This has consequences on the physical spaces where care is delivered, as the focus shifts from the space to the patient. This paper explores how greater demand to address prevalence of non-communicable diseases and the advent of technology can create opportunities for development of healing spaces. For patient-centric care, this would entail from inclusion of technologically driven healthcare environment within a home-care setting to improving the functional efficiencies within existing and proposed tertiary level hospitals for patient-centered care. The notion of bringing hospital (healthcare) to the patient is becoming a necessity to create a future where patients would depend less on the model of in-efficiently functioning tertiary level hospitals and a greater effort will be required towards home-settings, applying the adage 'prevention is better than cure.'

Abstract:

The third stage for palliative surgical reconstruction for children with functional single-ventricle (SV) physiology is the completion of the total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC), where the superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC) are routed directly into the pulmonary arteries. Approximately 5000 newborns in the US each year join to the existing SV (or Fontan) patient population, along with increasing numbers of adult Fontan patients surviving longer due to the advances in surgical techniques and post-op management. Although most post-operative Fontan patients experience an acceptable quality of life, their lifespan is shorter than normal with a significant number of these patients developing late hemodynamic complications (failing Fontan) and requiring heart transplantation. Donor shortage and the high-risk nature of transplantation for these complex and often very ill patients demand alternative therapeutic options [1].

Abstract:

The demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing steadily. In 2007, Kurtz et al. [1] predicted that TKA procedures would increase from 402,100 in 2003 to 3.48 million by 2030. Recent US national inpatient survey data have borne out these trends [2, 3]. Furthermore, demand is growing fastest in people younger than 65 [4] — patients who will need their implants to last the longest. The major factors limiting prosthesis longevity involve wear of the polyethylene bearing surfaces. Wear continues to be a problem at the knee; for example, advances that reduce hip implant wear such as crosslinking of polyethylene are not widely used in TKA due to fears of early material breakdown under knee loading conditions [5]. Preclinical TKA testing is performed with knee wear simulators under generic walking conditions. Efforts are ongoing by us [6] and others [7] to improve the physiological relevance of current testing standards. Nevertheless, a simulator would need to run ∼eight months continuously to simulate 20 years of walking, assuming one-million steps per year and speed of one cycle per second. As a complementary tool, computational models can test multiple conditions efficiently and ensure a faster turnaround time in the design process to eliminate inferior designs earlier. The purpose of this work is to describe a computational framework for predicting TKA loading, and ultimately implant longevity, on a patient-specific basis. The rationale is that, after developing a patient-specific computational framework, TKA designs of any material and under any patient behavior can be modulated to promote contact conditions best for implant longevity.

Abstract:

Factor VIII:C purified utilizing a mouse monoclonal antibody to FVIII:VWF was used exclusively for 6 months to treat hemorrhages on a demand basis in 7 patients with severe hemophilia A and no inhibitor. The mean age of the patients was 26.1 years with a range of 16-39 years. The dose administered was from 15-18 u/kg at the time of hemorrhage. The patients infused on the average of once every 5 days. One patient required 40-50 u/kg every day for 3 days secondary to an automobile accident. Laboratory assessments included: a fall-off study to determine the factor VIII half-life both when the study commenced and after 6 months on study; inhibitor levels, and ELISA assay to detect antibody to mouse protein. Additionally, immunological data including quantitative T cell subsets and skin testing on each patient was obtained on entrance to the study, at 1 month, 3 months and at conclusion in order to ascertain whether immune function in these patients would improve with the use of purer factor concentrate. The initial mean half-life of the infused concentrate was 15.4 hours ± 2.2 with a range of 12.6 to 18.4 hours. The mean half-life after the patients had been on the concentrate for 6 months was 17.5 ± 5.9 hours (range 11.0 to 29 hours). No inhibitor developed in any patient. Six of seven patients did not develop significant levels of anti-mouse IgG antibody. One patient had a rheumatoid factor which interfered with the ELISA assay for anti-mouse antibody and thus its presence could not be assessed. There were no adverse reactions to the material, and hemostatic efficacy was judged as excellent. There were no significant changes in quantitative T cell subsets. Three out of six patients lost their previous total skin test anergy and two other patients increased the number of antigens to which they reacted. This concentrate proved to be safe and efficacious, to have excellent half-life, and to be associated with apparent improvement in the immune response.

Abstract:

Tocilizumab is an anti-inflammatory medication that acts by inhibiting interleukin-6 (IL-6) and is shown to improve outcomes including mortality in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 requiring supplemental oxygen. Ontario supply of tocilizumab is limited, and tocilizumab demand in Ontario might exceed supply in the near future. A strategy that includes using a fixed, single intravenous dose of 400 mg for eligible patients will help extend available supply and is likely effective in treatment of COVID-19. Sarilumab, another IL-6 inhibitor, can be considered as a substitute. Additional options to consider to optimize tocilizumab use include the use of a provincial dashboard to help monitor and allocate use and estimating supply-to-demand adequacy. Likewise, a centralized allocation lottery system could be employed as soon as predicted demand exceeds supply to help ensure fair allocation. However, other issues may need to be taken into account for allocation decisions, as appropriate.
