Patient-Centred Laboratory Validation Using Software Agents, John Mcgrory, Jane Grimson, Frank Clarke, Peter Gaffney
Patient-Centred Laboratory Validation Using Software Agents, John Mcgrory, Jane Grimson, Frank Clarke, Peter Gaffney
Conference Papers
Guidelines are self-contained documents which healthcare professionals reference to obtain knowledge about a specific condition or process. They interface with these documents and apply known facts about specific patients to gain useful supportive information to aid in developing a diagnosis or manage a condition. To automate this process a series of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and workflow processes are constructed using the contents of these documents in order to manage the validation flow of a patient sample. These processes decompose the guidelines into workflow plans, which are then called using condition triggers controlled by a centralised management engine. The software …

There has been much talk about social sector partnerships and networks. Tonya Surman and Mark Surman explain how the ‘constellation model’, developed for the Canadian Partnership for Children’s Health and the Environment, offers an innovative approach to organising such collaborative efforts.
Outcomes Of Patients Transferred To The University Of Michigan Health System On A Short-Term Ventricular Assist Device For Cardiogenic Shock, Christina L. Leventhal
Outcomes Of Patients Transferred To The University Of Michigan Health System On A Short-Term Ventricular Assist Device For Cardiogenic Shock, Christina L. Leventhal
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Short-term ventricular assist devices (VADs) are mechanical pumps that are used to temporarily support a patient who is in cardiogenic shock. These VADs are effective in sustaining a patient’s life until he or she can been transferred to a tertiary cardiac center such as the University of Michigan Health System. The researcher examined patients’ clinical status at the time of transfer and used univariate analysis to determine which factors are likely to predict a successful outcome. Multivariate analysis showed that younger age and better kidney function were prognostic variables in the patients’ 30-day and long-term survival. These factors improve the …

Planning In The Irish Healthcare System; Legislative Strategy Or Administrative Control?, Vivienne Byers
Planning In The Irish Healthcare System; Legislative Strategy Or Administrative Control?, Vivienne Byers
Articles
Although strategic planning in healthcare has been in evidence in many OECD countries since the 1970s, it did not emerge in Ireland until the advent of legislatively mandated service planning in the 1990s. This occurred in the context of significant managerial, organisational and environmental change. One of the central mechanisms of the Strategic Management Initiative is the devolution of accountability and responsibility from the centre to the periphery. Service planning in the health sector in Ireland is seen as part of this strategic planning ethos. This paper reports on part of a wider study that examined both the intent and …
Drug Selection And Adverse Drug Reactions: Balancing Outcomes And Costs, Enrique Seoane-Vazquez
Drug Selection And Adverse Drug Reactions: Balancing Outcomes And Costs, Enrique Seoane-Vazquez
Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research
"Regulatory agencies approve drugs for marketing when the ratio of risk to benefit of the drugs is positive, i.e. the potential benefit of using the drug justifies the risk of drug related adverse reactions (ADR). At the point of approval of a drug there is not adequate information about all possible negative outcomes arising from its use in clinical practice. The information is even more limited for patient subgroups, diseases and treatment combinations that were not evaluated in the clinical trials required for approval. Therefore, performing post-marketing pharmacoepidemiological studies is necessary for a better understanding of drug use in usual …
Nurses’ Experience Of Leadership In Assisted Living: A Situational Analysis, Carole H. Bergeron
Nurses’ Experience Of Leadership In Assisted Living: A Situational Analysis, Carole H. Bergeron
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
This study concentrates on the voice of registered nurses as they describe their experiences of leadership within the nontraditional, non-institutional, non-hospital environment of assisted living. It further expounds upon regulatory and corporate information as context for the nurses’ leadership experiences. The desire to hear nurses describe their personal experiences of leadership influenced the decision to use grounded theory as a methodological process. The belief that voice requires context to be most effectively understood influenced, in turn, the addition of a situational analysis approach to the grounded theory methodology. As a result, interviews and scrutiny of contextual elements form the core …
Cost Of Medical Detoxification Among Drug And Alcohol Users In A Private Texas Hospital, Alberto Coustasse
Cost Of Medical Detoxification Among Drug And Alcohol Users In A Private Texas Hospital, Alberto Coustasse
Management Faculty Research
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to estimate the costs of medical detoxification among patients with alcohol and substance abuse disorders.
Design/methodology/approach – The study data was drawn from a medical detoxification program in a community hospital in Texas. Secondary data analysis of 1337 cases from three years was reviewed. Age, gender, race, alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, amphetamines, sedatives, opioids, financial classification, cost, length of stay (LOS) and cost by LOS were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U-test.
Findings – The sample comprised of 42.8 percent women and 57.2 percent males. The mean cost and cost by LOS …

Organizational Culture In A Terminally Ill Hospital, Alberto Coustasse, Douglas A. Mains, Kristine Lykens, Sue G. Lurie, Fernando Trevino
Management Faculty Research
This study analyzed an organizational culture in a community hospital in Texas to measure organizational culture change and its impact on Patient Satisfaction (PS). The study employed primary and secondary data, combining quantitative and qualitative methods for a case study. Participant observation was used and archival data were collected to provide a better understanding of the organizational culture and the context in which change was taking place. This study also applied a “Shared Vision” of the organization as the central process in bringing forth the knowledge shared by members of the community hospital who were both subjects and research participants. …
