Filter by:The goal of this observational survey study is to evaluate the current practice variations of preoperative multidisciplinary team meetings (MDT meetings) for high risk noncardiac surgical patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the current variation in Dutch hospitals in the practice of preoperative MDT meetings for high risk noncardiac surgical patients? - Which facilitators and barriers influence the implementation process of preoperative MDT meetings? Participants are anesthesiologists in Dutch hospitals who will be asked to fill in a one-time survey. One anesthesiologist per anesthesiology department will be asked to fill in the survey. The survey will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
The purpose of this research study is to decide if using a nurse-led mobility protocol affects teamwork perceptions, when mobilizing ventilated neurosurgery patients. Participants will mobilize ventilated neurosurgery patients according to either facility standard procedures or a piloted nurse-led mobility protocol. Each selected patient will be mobilized once during his/her hospitalization for the purposes of this study. Patient mobility may take up to 1 hour. Following this, participating staff will be asked to complete a survey used to measure teamwork perceptions. Participants will be given up to 30 minutes to complete the survey. Total study duration is 3 months.
In January 2017 investigators started a Center for Peripartum Optimization (CPO) with the aim of optimizing a patient's clinical status in an outpatient setting to minimize unnecessary laboratory tests and studies, costly inpatient consultations, the likelihood of post-surgical adverse events, escalations in level of care, inpatient admissions and readmissions. This research project seeks to evaluate the impact of this innovative concept on patient outcomes during the last 12 months. Investigators will accomplish this by collecting retrospective data from patients' electronic medical records in the intervention group and comparing it to data gathered from a controlled group of patients with similar comorbidities but who were not evaluated at the CPO clinic.
Sleep apnea is a prevalent problem and references for the evaluation of this condition often exceeds the sleep clinic's capacity thus creating important delays in the patients' care. The overall goal of this project is to assess the feasibility and the non-inferiority of integrating a clinical nurse, or supernurse, to the initial consultation team. The hypothesis is that the integration of a clinical nurse to the sleep clinic's evaluation team is non inferior in terms of patients' outcomes such as improvement of symptoms and quality of life as well as adherence to treatment. This study is supported by funding dedicated to teaching and research activities related to sleep-disordered breathing.
A randomised study of multidisciplinary care (MDT) versus routine care in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients with RA are randomised either to a single visit to a "one Stop Arthritis Clinic' (OSAC) or to see their usual rheumatologists. Data are collected at the baseline visit, and again at subsequent clinic visits (approximately 3 and 6 months). Outcomes such as quality of life, disease activity, physical function, disease specific knowledge, coping and self efficacy are evaluated. Assessment of comorbidities and preventative care (cancer screening, vaccinations, cardiovascular risk assessment and optimisation) are also assessed between the 2 arms.
