Background: Many online physician-rating sites provide patients with information about physicians and allow to rate physicians. Understanding what is available important given that may use this choose a physician.
Using their experience at Medicine X, Larry Chu and colleagues discuss the benefits of involving patients as partners medical meetings
<h3>Importance</h3> Overlapping surgery, in which more than 1 procedure performed by the same primary surgeon is scheduled so start time of one overlaps with end another, concern because potential adverse outcomes. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine association between overlapping surgery and mortality, complications, length surgery. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Retrospective cohort study 66 430 operations patients aged 18 to 90 years undergoing total knee or hip arthroplasty; spine...
Postoperative hypothermia is a common complication of orthopaedic surgery associated with increased morbidity. We identified the incidence and risk factors for postoperative across surgical procedures.A total 3,822 procedures were reviewed. Hypothermia was defined as temperature <36.0°C. Incidences calculated evaluated by mixed-effects regression analyses.Hypothermia observed in 72.5% patients intraoperatively 8.3% postoperatively. Risk included intraoperative (odds ratio [OR], 2.72), lower...
Artificial intelligence applications have great potential to enhance perioperative care. This article explores promising areas for artificial in anesthesiology; expertise, stakeholders, and infrastructure development; barriers challenges implementation.
Background. Obesity impacts utilization of healthcare resources. The goal this study was to measure the relationship between increasing body mass index (BMI) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) with different components operating room (OR) time. Methods. Stanford Translational Research Integrated Database Environment (STRIDE) utilized identify all ASA PS 2 or 3 who underwent primary THA at Medical Center from February 1, 2008 through January 2013. Patients were divided into...
Although the primary goal of operating room (OR) management is to minimize inefficiencies, it may be difficult for OR managers track metrics when one extrapolates possible scenarios across every on a daily basis. With ability visualize statistical relationships help simplify analysis large datasets, more elaborate efficiency framework can established using Pareto optimality (or performance frontiers), multicriteria that includes variables serve as proxies variety outcomes. Applied...
Introduction: A smart device refers to a cordless electronic that is mobile, Internet-connected (e.g., via Wi-Fi), capable of voice and video communication, web browsing. Although usage high by healthcare providers, little known about the specific patient care-related tasks performed physicians on these devices. The goal this study was measure prevalence types uses devices among residents in seven different specialties at Stanford University Hospital. This important because it can inform...
Background Some research has found increased incidence of medical errors in teaching hospitals at the beginning academic year and have termed this "July Phenomenon." Objective Our primary hypothesis was that Phenomenon" for anesthesiology surgical residents might manifest itself as operational inefficiency, measured by monthly total operating room (OR) minutes. Secondary measures were elective overutilized minutes (OR workload minus OR allocated time, after 5:30 pm our institution), 80th...

Powerful entities are pushing physicians to become more involved with quality improvement (QI). We report a QI project standardize and improve the ergonomics of anesthesia medication supply cart. Simply obtaining approval make minor changes cart 54 phone calls, 164 e-mails, 4 presentations, 2 forms, 9 meetings, months time. Confusion over fiscal matters further delayed by an additional 3 months. A combination competing regulations, administrative overprocessing, lack dedicated financial...
GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in mammals, whose uptake glial cells inhibited by nipecotic acid. In addition to GABA, glycine an important neurotransmitter. Valproic acid (VPA) one of the four established antiepileptics and (E)-2-ene valproic ((E)-2-ene VPA) its active metabolite. The described structure-pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship (SPPR) study explored possibility utilizing valproyl derivatives as new antiepileptics. pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics...
Although transesophageal echocardiography is routinely performed at our institution, there no easy way to document the procedure in electronic medical record and generate a bill compliant with reimbursement requirements. We present results of quality improvement project that used agile development methodology incorporate intraoperative into record. discuss improvements clinical documentation, technical workflow challenges overcome, cost time return on investment. Billing was increased from...
