Burnout: Absence Of Binding Diagnostic Criteria Hampers Prevalence Estimates, Renzo Bianchi, Irvin Sam Schonfeld, Eric Laurent
Publications and Research
Comments on an article by Jef Adriaenssens et al. (see record 2015-00662-015). In a recent review paper, Adriaenssens et al. concluded that about 26% of emergency nurses (EN) suffer from burnout and described their results as alarming. While commentators applaud Adriaenssens et al. efforts to provide a clearer picture of ill-health in EN, they thought that these authors' conclusions were weakened by a fundamental fact, namely, the absence of consensual, clinically valid diagnostic criteria for burnout. Trying to determine the prevalence of a condition that has no binding diagnostic criteria is problematic. Indeed, depending on how researchers decide to …

The most current estimations from the CDC classify more than one third of the American population as obese (2011). This epidemic continues to contribute to a number of chronic diseases across the country including diabetes and heart disease, both associated with high morbidity and mortality (NHLBI, 1998). Billions of dollars are spent annually on obesity and obesity related conditions.
Perhaps this is what led the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to select Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity as a Leading Health Indicator in Healthy People 2020. The updated NHLBI guidelines, based on clinical evidence, offer a blueprint …

Evaluation Of Primary Care Providers' Utilization Of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor Therapy In Heart Failure Patients, Trisna P. Gozali

Background: ACEI has been shown to help decrease mortality, morbidity, rate of re-hospitalization, and to improve symptoms of heart failure (HF). However, the rate of ACEI use for HF patients remain low despite the recommendations made by the ACCF/AHA Task Force in the current 2013 HF guideline. It is important to increase the use of ACEI because of its positive effect on the outcome of HF. In addition, improper charting could skew the number of patients who are actually taking ACEI, making it less than it actually it. Thus, providers should be on the forefront of encouraging ACEI use, especially …

Evaluation Of A Rheumatology Patient Prioritization Triage System, Katharine R. Layton

The United States health care system is currently experiencing an increase in demand for services due to an aging population. Rheumatology, an Internal Medicine sub-specialty, treats those patients with arthritic conditions as well as other autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. A shortage of rheumatologists is projected by 2025, adding additional stress to an already burdened clinical area.This means patients can face substantial wait times when requesting consultation with a rheumatology provider.This capstone project will present three manuscripts that explore the referral process from primary to specialty care and strategies to reduce wait times. The first manuscript is a literature review that …
