Although persons with dementia are frequently hospitalized, relatively little is known about the health profile, patterns of care use, and mortality rates for patients who access in emergency department (ED). We linked data from our hospital system Medicare Medicaid claims, Minimum Data Set, Outcome Assessment Information Set to evaluate 175,652 ED visits made by 10,354 individuals 15,020 without over 11 years. Survival after associated charges were examined. Patients visited more...

We report on 71-year-old woman who had undergone total thyroidectomy with subsequent irradiation because follicular carcinoma 3 years ago. Since then, she been maintained oral levothyroxine replacement therapy at dose 0.15 mg alternating 0.2 daily. When latent hypothyroidism became evident despite therapy, the was increased to 0.3 day.

Current estimates suggest 6,500 undocumented end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in the United States are ineligible for scheduled hemodialysis and require emergent dialysis. In order to remain compliance with Emergency Medicaid, an academic health center altered its emergency dialysis criteria from those emphasizing interdialytic interval a set numerical thresholds. We report impact of this administrative change on biochemical parameters, utilization, adverse outcomes patient...
Purpose of the study Cognitive impairment (CI) is one several factors known to influence hospitalization, hospital length stay, and rehospitalization among older adults. Redesigning care delivery systems sensitive CI may reduce acute utilization while improving quality. To develop a foundation fundamental needs for health redesign, we conducted focus groups with inpatient outpatient providers identify barriers, facilitators, suggestions improvements in patients CI. Design methods Focus group...

Older adults with cognitive impairment have more emergency department visits and 30-day readmissions are likely to die after visiting the than people without impairment. Emergency providers frequently do not identify Use of screening tools, along better understanding root causes for visits, could equip health care teams knowledge needed develop individually tailored management strategies post-emergency care. By identifying directly addressing patients' informal caregivers' (or partners')...
Background Realising the potential of broad based STD testing depends on treatment those with positive results. Because emergency department (ED) physicians expressed reluctance to test for STD's because they had no mechanism giving results, we devised a system provide results patients tested at county's public hospital by calling Bell Flower, health department's program, determine whether in ED would call their Methods An electronically generated individually modified referral note...
Background: Older adults with cognitive impairment (CI) are more likely to visit the emergency department (ED) than those without CI. They also suffer poor outcomes after an ED visit. Family and friends who serve as care partners contribute significant time resources of these patients may need particular attention their emotional needs during encounter. In this study, we examined association between patient partner characteristics on depression anxiety at
Background: Human cadavers provide an effective model for procedural training; however, inconsistent blood return during central venous cannulation compromises the overall reliability of this procedure. Objective: To create and quantitatively assess a human cadaver access using continuously-run embalming machine. Curriculum: Emergency medicine (EM) faculty at Indiana University created procedure lab designed EM residents. The right femoral artery was identified by superficial dissection...
