Employee turnover is a key metric and performance indicator when evaluating the fiscal operational effectiveness of any health-care facility. This article outlines analysis onboarding program improvement initiative used by 187-bed community hospital in Washington DC metropolitan area to reduce staff turnover. Using an evidence-based approach, we evaluated facility staffing statistics, exit survey data, research literature, industry exemplars. We identified presence severe for nursing...
To characterize frailty phenotype in a representative cohort of older Americans and examine determinants health factors.
Poor diet is the leading cause of mortality in U.S. due to direct relationship with diet-related chronic diseases, disproportionally affects underserved communities, and exacerbates health disparities. Evidence-based policy solutions are greatly needed foster an equitable climate-smart food system that improves health, nutrition reduces disease healthcare costs. To directly address epidemic levels diseases nutritional disparities, we conducted a analysis, prioritized options implementation...
The First International Conference in Systems and Network Medicine gathered together 200 global thought leaders, scientists, clinicians, academicians, industry government experts, medical graduate students, postdoctoral scholars policymakers. Held at Georgetown University Center Washington D.C. on September 11-13, 2019, the event featured a day of pre-conference lectures hands-on bioinformatic computational workshops followed by two days deep diverse scientific talks, panel discussions with...
Abstract Preventing unplanned perioperative hypothermia is crucial. Thermal reflective blankets may reduce heat loss, promote normothermia, increase patient comfort, and decrease cotton blanket expenses. Our purpose was to determine whether a thermal plus one warmed provides better temperature control comfort than only. We compared two groups of patients who received (n = 110) or only 114) for we evaluated outcomes in the preoperative holding area, OR, postanesthesia care unit. There were no...
Cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency is a subtle progressive clinical disorder, affecting nearly 1 in 5 individuals > 60 years old. This produced by age-related decreases nutrient absorption, medications that interfere with vitamin B12 and other comorbidities. Clinical heterogeneity confounds symptom detection for elderly adults, as sequelae range from mild fatigue weakness to debilitating megaloblastic anemia permanent neuropathic injury. A better understanding of genetic factors contribute...
BACKGROUND: The Joint Commission’s 2014 National Patient Safety Goals required hospitals to evaluate alarm safety in 2014–2015 and implement policies. OBJECTIVE: aim of this study was assess common management factors our 187-bed community hospital. METHODS: Two weeks’ worth IV pump report data evaluated characterize 33 types. Hospital noise measured, an nurse survey conducted. RESULTS: There were 8731 total alarms/alerts (24-hour mean, 623.6) across 6 units. 2-minute idle accounted for 32.4%...
Many folate‐related genes have been investigated for possible causal roles in neural tube defects (NTDs) and oral clefts. However, no previous reports examined the major gene responsible folate uptake, proton‐coupled transporter ( SLC46A1 ). We tested association between these birth single nucleotide polymorphisms gene. The NTD study population included 549 complete incomplete case‐family triads, 999 controls from Ireland. clefts comprised a sample Utah (495 triads 551 controls) 221 Filipino...
This policy brief summarizes current U.S. regulatory considerations for ensuring patient safety and health care quality of genetic/genomic test information precision medicine in the era artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). The critical role innovative efficient laboratory developed tests (LDTs) providing accurate diagnostic patient- family-centered healthcare decision-making is significant. However, many LDTs are not fully vetted sufficient analytic clinical validity via FDA CMS...
