Filter by:This proposal aims to design, implement and rigorously evaluate a standardized accept note in a population of patients that have high frequency of IHT, including patients transferred to the general medical (GMS), cardiology and oncology services at a large tertiary care hospital. This study will improve scientific knowledge by quantifying the patient safety impact of an intervention to improve communication of essential clinical information during IHT. If shown effective, the results of this study can be used to improve clinical practice by establishing evidence-based communication guidelines for broad dissemination. We will also establish technical feasibility by successfully implementing this tool within our EHR (Epic, Verona, WI), allowing for feasible adoption and dissemination to other institutions with similar EHR capabilities. Lastly, we will address malpractice risk by investigating a strategic intervention aimed at reducing known contributors to patient harm during IHT, a high-risk transition in care that involves transfer of high-acuity patients between providers, settings and systems of care.
Our purpose is to determine the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes by checking HbA1c in patients hospitalized outside internal medicine services and assess whether or not there is a difference between those without diabetes awareness and those with known diabetes in terms of age, sex, education status, presence of comorbidity and Body Mass Index (BMI).
The documentation of vital signs is traditionally performed manually when the patient is not admitted in intensive care units, which can lead to documentary errors, long time for data acquisition and, consequently, impairment in the early identification of possible clinical deterioration. In-bed technology solutions are available to automate the collection of vital data and transfer information to a medical record or central electronic monitoring and its role in the health value chain needs further investigation. The investigators propose to evaluate the impact of the Connex Spot Monitor solution Welch Allyn (CSM / Hillrom) in conjunction with the Hillrom Connecta solution in a real world situation, conducting a cluster randomized trilal in wards of a tertiary hospital. In addition, this study aims to estimate the clinical effectiveness of a technological solution that performs an analysis of vital signs and automatically activates the rapid response team (RRT) when the pre-defined criteria are met, comparing it with the traditional manual method. The primary outcome is the number of times that the RRT fires in a timely manner.
The study title is "A Study to evaluate the Effectiveness of a Pictorial Flashcard regarding Self-Care of Peripheral Intravenous Cannula (PIVC) on its indwelling time and related complications among inpatients at ILBS, New Delhi." and it aim to evaluate the Effectiveness of a Pictorial Flashcard regarding Self-Care of PIVC on its indwelling time and related complications among inpatients.
Objective:Immobilization causes various physiological and biomechanical problems during inpatient treatments.Physical therapy is applied to achieve early mobilization and avoid complication of immobilization. Aim:The aim of this study is to assess the contribution of using lift system to physical therapy program of immobilized patients. Design:A randomised controlled trial. Patients:Thirty hospitalized patients who were immobile more than 1 week were randomised into two groups. Interventions: Each group had received 15 sessions of physical therapy (ROM exercises and electrotherapy) regularly.Patients allocated to the add-on lift system were held in upright position with James lift® system during each physical therapy(PT).Patients allocated to PT program only were upgraded to a therapeutic goal of stability during standing phase as the patient's muscular strength improved.
