Abstract:
The design of new hospital inpatient rooms is moving towards private (single occupancy) rooms. These rooms are generally preferred by patients and they may improve patient care, but they are more expensive to build and to staff than semi-private rooms. The question of their societal worth is important because hospitals are expensive, long-term investments and, once built, are prohibitively expensive to change. This paper presents a benefit-cost analysis of private rooms versus semi-private rooms in a proposed new hospital. We estimate that the net social benefit of a bed in a private room is a

Abstract:
Student health care practitioners are often apprehensive about simulated examinations as they have never undertaken an examination like this before and often do not know what to expect. The purpose of the chapter is to explore the OSCE process and help you to understand and plan for your own OSCE. OSCE examinations may be organized very differently depending upon the subject of the examination and your own university’s preference. Most simulated examinations are held in clinical skills rooms or simulation suites at the student’s university campus. Very occasionally they may be held off site at another location, e.g. a hospital teaching room. The examination structure may vary dramatically (Bloomfield et al. 2010) and may be: ● Multiple short stations, ● Complex single stations, ● Unmanned station. These are also known as ‘short case’ OSCE stations. A typical short station OSCE will involve the student health care practitioner ‘rotating’ around a number of different stations. It is likely that within each examination room several skills will be assessed at any one time and part of the assessment will involve moving from station to station to ensure that students complete all skills/knowledge assessments that are required. This format allows examiners to assess a range of skills during one simulated examination period (Ahuja 2009). The number of stations will depend upon the university’s examination structure but it may be that there are up to five stations to attend. Some universities ask students to rotate around more than this (in some occasions up to 20). This type of OSCE is very common in pre-registration nursing OSCEs (Bloomfield et al. 2010). Simulated examinations may be held in one room or students may be required to move from room to room to ensure all skills are assessed. This type of OSCE is usually used to examine the more complex skills and may be used in the final year to test more complicated skills such as assessment of the sick patient. You should be aware that you may also be asked to undertake OSCE in your post-registration nurse education.

Surgical units are generally the most costly and least utilized units of hospitals. In order to provide higher utilization rates of surgical units, scheduling of operating rooms should be done effectively. Inefficient or inaccurate scheduling of operating room time often results in delays of surgery or cancellations of procedures, which are costly to the patient and the hospital. Therefore, operating room scheduling and management problems have been an important area of research both for operations researchers and artificial intelligence researchers since the 1960s. In this chapter, the operations research and artificial intelligence solutions developed for operating room scheduling problems in the operational level are examined and discussed. The studies are classified according to the approaches employed.

Abstract:
Based on these assumptions and in keeping with the theme of this book, this chapter will focus primarily on anesthetic considerations in homeland disasters likely to require the presence of the anesthesiologist in the out-of-hospital or pre-hospital environment. Although most anesthesiologists are adept at handling multiple trauma casualties in the familiar setting of the operating room, even during disasters, this fact does not necessarily apply to anesthesiologists’ expertise in the management of casualties of earthquakes or chemical or biological incidents outside the operating room.<sup>2</sup> In order to understand the context within which anesthesiologists might be asked to function in the out-of-operating room setting during disaster response, we will devote a part of this monograph to a brief review of the disaster management functions of prehospital emergency medical services (EMS)/trauma systems. We will also describe the reorganization of hospital and intensive care services necessary to handle a surge of incoming critically injured or ill casualties. Our focus will be the role of the anesthesiologist, working in partnership with community or local EMS/trauma system and its network of hospitals, since the local EMS/ambulance system constitutes the functional unit of disaster medical response in the United States. We will end with a brief description of the major challenges we face in the delivery of intensive care services in mass and catastrophic casualty disasters.

Abstract:
The operating room suite is a challenging model since many stakeholders and variables have influence on its management. The practice of medicine in this arena is often perceived as chaotic and on a case-by-case basis. In actuality this is an arena of “organized chaos.” Coordinating and understanding the medical process in this area of a hospital is called the field of operating room management. Due to production pressures and financial constraints, operating room management decisions are often anecdotal with inexperienced personnel at the front-line processes making these decisions. It is imperative that anesthesia training include understanding the concepts of operating room management because anesthesiologists are integral to maintain and improving successful models while not compromising patient care.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the green health care revolution, a movement that includes efforts to: reduce greenhouse gas emissions; reduce toxic chemicals and materials in hospital buildings and operating rooms; streamline and improve supply chains; reduce material, water, and energy waste; foster farm-to-table food options; enhance green investment opportunities; and improve waste disposal practices. It traces the evolution of the movement since 1996 and the founding of Health Care Without Harm (HCWH). The challenge, however, remains daunting. An estimated 10 percent of harmful U.S. emissions still originate from health systems, making them significant contributors to the problem of climate change. According to a recent study, the U.S. health care sector would be the world's 13th-largest emitter of greenhouse gases if it were ranked as a nation. Nevertheless, support for greening health care is building.

Abstract:
Milena Andrea Melo’s chapter examines the impact of the lack of health insurance coverage for low-income, undocumented immigrants who required regular dialysis to stay alive. Undocumented immigrants are deemed undeserving of most publicly funded health care services by virtue of their “illegal” status. Those with chronic, debilitating illness struggled to navigate public and private health care institutions as indigent patients in order to locate life-saving but substandard treatment. Since they were uninsured, irregular and costly dialysis treatments in hospital emergency rooms, paid by Emergency Medicaid, was their only option. The chapter demonstrates that the health system itself exacerbated health risks for dialysis patients by requiring that they come close to death before emergency services were offered. This chapter raises questions concerning belonging, deservingness of care, and American notions of human rights in cases where those with nothing more than “bare life” are excluded.

Abstract:
Day care surgery is the standard of care for minor surgical procedures in developed countries and rapidly increasing in practice in developing countries. The main advantages of day care surgery are cost containment, early mobilization of the patient, less pain because of minimally invasive surgical techniques, early return of patient to their home and work. The downsides of day care surgery include the inability to treat all patients and perform all surgical procedures since surgical fitness for day care procedures is demanding, unforeseen readmission, the need for more operating rooms, and increasing expertise among health care workers. Considering day care surgery as systematic, scheduled and short duration stay in hospital, it is very important to select or sort out the cases which fit in the criteria according to all conventional definitions of triage. It is well organized within stipulated time frame and performed in fixed unit with proper assessment by anesthesia and nursing team in addition to core assessment of surgical team. Surgical option exercised and close follow up with ability to manage complications are integral components in working team. Delivery of more surgery in primary care has potential for enhancing patient-centred management by promoting the development of multi-specialty community providers and reducing length of hospital stay. The outpatient surgical centers provide many benefits and advantages for surgical patients with proper organizations, dedicated services, and meticulous procedures.

Abstract:
Since the 1980’s, questions have been asked the world over about the efficiency and contribution of nursing in the hospital treatment of patients and nursing performance within the framework of nonhospital health care. The cause for these tendencies has many roots. For one, we can determine a push in professionalism through the increasing importance of nursing sciences on whole. The basic focus is on comparability, standardization (Johnson et al., 2005), and securing quality (ICN, 2003). Also, a significant part of nursing systems internationally are publicly financed and legally determined. This has the consequence that the political decision-makers, particularly in context with the financing and planning of nursing structures, have more of an interest in controlling the nursing systems and disposing of useable nursing data.

Abstract:
This chapter begins with an exploration of the production and development of eugenic discourses, explicitly adopted by institutions at the beginning of the 20th century and subsequently reaching their height during the Nazi regime, Though officially condemned, these discourses continued to influence service provision after 1945, when most people with intellectual disabilities who did not live with their families had to live in psychiatric hospitals or large Christian or state-run institutions. Parent-led organisations, developing from the mid-1960s, led to the first significant change in quality of services for persons with intellectual disabilities. In the late 1970s, the adoption of new ideas of normalisation and integration led to the implementation of de-institutionalisation programmes. These however left some large institutional settings untouched and, despite several policy changes and efforts to create a more personalised system of care since the 2000s, the institutional system of service provision continues to cause serious problems, and eugenic discourses and practices endure.

Abstract:
Laparoscopic surgery is a practice of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) performed in the abdominal area. Prior to surgery, instead of exposing the target region to air as in a typical conventional open surgery, “key holes” are opened for positioning ports, through which surgical tools (e.g. laparoscope, needle drivers, etc.) are inserted. MIS therefore minimizes trauma and reduces the risk of hemorrhaging and infection. MIS also generates economic benefits such as shorter hospitalization time for patients and better utilization of operating rooms and wards for hospitals. MIS procedures, however
