Increasing evidence suggests that ambient air pollution is a major risk factor for both acute and chronic respiratory disease exacerbations emergencies. The objective of this study was to determine the association between pollutants emergency department (ED) visits conditions in nine districts across province Ontario Canada. Health, pollutant (PM2.5, NO2, O3, SO2), meteorological data were retrieved from April 2004 December 2011. Respiratory diseases categorized as: obstructive pulmonary...
Ceravolo D.J., Schwartz D.G., Foltz-Ramos K.M. & Castner J. (2012) Journal of Nursing Management 20, 599–606 Strengthening communication to overcome lateral violence Aim This quality improvement project aims reduce nurse-to-nurse and create a more respectful workplace culture through series workshops. Background Lateral is common pervasive in nursing, with detrimental physical, psychological organizational consequences. Methods describes the organization-wide pre- post-intervention survey...
The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between emergency department (ED) visits for conjunctivitis and ambient air pollution levels in urban regions across province Ontario, Canada.Information from National Ambulatory Care Reporting System used create time-series records, period April 2004 December 2011, on patients suffering conjunctivitis. A total 77 439 were analyzed. time-stratified case-crossover design applied, completed with meta-analysis order pool inter-city...
Polymeric and elastomeric materials are commonly encountered in medical devices packaging systems used to manufacture, store, deliver, and/or administer drug products. Characterizing extractables from such is a necessary step establishing their suitability for use these applications. In this study, five individual representative of polymers elastomers were extracted under conditions with solvents that relevant parenteral ophthalmic products (PODPs). Extraction methods included elevated...
The aim of this study was to delineate the multi-level relationships individual registered nurse (RN) and nursing unit factors on missed care. This a quantitative model-building using descriptive, cross-sectional design. Surveys (N = 553) administrative records from nurses in one hospital system undergoing merger were included. results showed that 36% variation care is due context, with corresponding 64% differences. At level, workload, skill mix, critical type affected amount more...
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore novel multipollutant exposure assessments using the Air Quality Health Index in relation emergency department visits for otitis media (OM). Design This a retrospective analysis information from OM, air pollution, and weather databases. Methods For children 3 years age or younger, there were 4,815 OM over 6‐year period across hospitals Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Both time‐stratified case‐crossover nonlinear time series distributed lag...
Hospital patient boarding in emergency departments has reached unprecedented crisis levels over the past 4 years. Boarding and crowding been demonstrated by prior literature to have adverse effects on care as well increased associated costs. Importantly, increase hospital created critical shortcomings disaster preparedness limiting capacity of respond mass casualty incidents due space staffing constraints. Multiple concurrent threats exacerbate these challenges, including increases incidence...
Devastating mortality, morbidity, economic, and quality of life impacts have resulted from disasters in the United States. This study aimed to validate a preexisting machine learning (ML) model household disaster preparedness. Data 2021 23 Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Household Surveys (n = 21,294) were harmonized. Importance features random forest ML transferred tested multiple linear logistic regression models with updated datasets. Multiple explained 42%-53% variance...
Studying the effect on functioning of emergency department disasters with a potential impact staff members themselves usually involves table top and simulated patient exercises. Computerized virtual reality simulations have to configure variety scenarios determine likely responses how address them without intensive utilization resources. To decide whether such studies are justified, we determined novel computer simulation has serve as valid reliable model essential function in busy ED. Ten...
The purpose of this study was to measure RNs' perceptions teamwork skills and behaviors in their work environment during a multiphase multisite nursing organizational development initiative. Teamwork is essential for patient safety healthcare organizations teams. Organizational supporting effective should include just culture, engaged leadership, training. A cross-sectional survey bedside RNs conducted one 5-hospital system after TeamSTEPPS training related improved RN leadership....
There are 12 million emergency department (ED) visits each year related to behavioral health diagnoses. Frequent ED utilization among subpopulations, such as those with diagnoses, flags the need for more accessible and effective healthcare delivery systems. Reducing frequent use is essential controlling cost poor outcomes of overcrowding.The purpose this study stratify individuals by overall complexity examine relationship diagnoses (psychiatric substance abuse) well treat-and-release in a...
Now is the time to activate corporate social responsibility.
Tailored disaster preparedness interventions may be more effective and equitable, yet little is known about specific factors associated with household for older adults and/or those African American/Black identities. This study aims to ascertain differences in the importance features of machine learning models four groups inform culturally tailored intervention recommendations nursing practice. A model was developed tested by combining data from 2018, 2019, 2020 Federal Emergency Management...
