“All Bundled Out” - Application Of Lean Six Sigma Techniques To Reduce Workload Impact During Implementation Of Patient Care Bundles Within Critical Care – A Case Study, Heather (Woodward) Hagg, Jamie El-Harit, Chris Vanni, Penny Scott Mar 2007

“All Bundled Out” - Application Of Lean Six Sigma Techniques To Reduce Workload Impact During Implementation Of Patient Care Bundles Within Critical Care – A Case Study, Heather (Woodward) Hagg, Jamie El-Harit, Chris Vanni, Penny Scott

RCHE Publications

Within healthcare, clinical practice bundles have been used to implement standardized, nursing driven protocols resulting in standardized patient care and improved patient outcomes. Examples of these types of bundles include clinical practices shown through evidence based medicine to reduce occurrences of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia – VAP bundle; those shown to reduce the occurrences of central line infections – CL bundle; and those shown to significantly improve the outcomes of patients presenting with sepsis – Sepsis Bundle.

Unfortunately, as critical care units cycle through the implementation of multiple bundles without adjustment in workflow practices the result is often increased staff fatigue …


Improving Process Throughput Of Cardiac Catheterization Using Six Sigma Training, Daphene Koch, Heather (Woodward) Hagg, Dianna Brown, Kenney Montgomery, Mark Manning Mar 2007

Improving Process Throughput Of Cardiac Catheterization Using Six Sigma Training, Daphene Koch, Heather (Woodward) Hagg, Dianna Brown, Kenney Montgomery, Mark Manning

RCHE Publications

Healthcare is changing daily with the introduction of technology. Heart catheterization is one area that has excelled in the new technology that is constantly being introduced. Facilities are being built which provide patients with diagnostics and treatments that save lives daily. Due to the continual improvement of healthcare processes, it is also important to review process and continually improve efficiency. The catheterization lab patient care process must provide quality patient care that exceeds expectations of all involved. A project was completed to train a team that would implement process improvement. The team was made up of the technicians, nurses and …

The Maturation Of Mucus-Secreting Gastric Epithelial Progenitors Into Digestive-Enzyme Secreting Zymogenic Cells Requires Mist1 , Victoria G. Ramsey, Jason M. Doherty, Christopher C. Chen, Thaddeus S. Stappenbeck, Stephen F. Konieczny, Jason C. Mills Mar 2007

The Maturation Of Mucus-Secreting Gastric Epithelial Progenitors Into Digestive-Enzyme Secreting Zymogenic Cells Requires Mist1 , Victoria G. Ramsey, Jason M. Doherty, Christopher C. Chen, Thaddeus S. Stappenbeck, Stephen F. Konieczny, Jason C. Mills

Oncological Sciences Center Publications

Continuous regeneration of digestive enzyme (zymogen)-secreting chief cells is a normal aspect of stomach function that is disrupted in precancerous lesions ( e. g. metaplasias, chronic atrophy). The cellular and genetic pathways that underlie zymogenic cell (ZC) differentiation are poorly understood. Here, we describe a gene expression analysis of laser capture microdissection purified gastric cell populations that identified the bHLH transcription factor Mist1 as a potential ZC regulatory factor. Our molecular and ultrastructural analysis of proliferation, migration and differentiation of the gastric unit in Mist1(-/-) and control mice supports a model whereby wild-type ZC progenitors arise as neck cells in …

An Optimal Bandwidth Allocation And Data Droppage Scheme For Differentiated Services In A Wireless Network, Waseem Sheikh, Arif Ghafoor Mar 2007

An Optimal Bandwidth Allocation And Data Droppage Scheme For Differentiated Services In A Wireless Network, Waseem Sheikh, Arif Ghafoor

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

We present an optimal proportional bandwidth allocation and data droppage scheme to provide differentiated services (DiffServ) for streaming multimedia data in a single-hop wireless network. Our resource allocation scheme finds the optimal bandwidth allocation and data drop rates under minimum quality-of-service (QoS) constraints. It combines the desirable attributes of relative DiffServ and absolute DiffServ approaches. In contrast to relative DiffServ approach, our scheme guarantees the minimum amount of bandwidth provided to each user without dropping any data at the base-station, when the network has sufficient resources. If the network does not have sufficient resources to provide minimum bandwidth guarantees without …

The Jewish Role In American Life, Jeremy Schoenberg Mar 2007

The Jewish Role In American Life, Jeremy Schoenberg

The Jewish Role in American Life: An Annual Review

The relationship between Jews and the United States is necessarily complex: Jews have been instrumental in shaping American culture and, of course, Jewish culture and religion have likewise been profoundly recast in the United States, especially in the period following World War II. A major focus of this work is to consider the Jewish role in American life as well as the American role in shaping Jewish life. This fifth volume of the Casden Institute's annual review is organized along five broad themes: politics, values, image, education and culture.
