It remains unclear whether telemonitoring approaches provide benefits for patients with heart failure (HF) after hospitalization.To evaluate the effectiveness of a care transition intervention using remote patient monitoring in reducing 180-day all-cause readmissions among broad population older adults hospitalized HF.We randomized 1437 HF between October 12, 2011, and September 30, 2013, to arm (715 patients) or usual (722 Better Effectiveness After Transition-Heart Failure (BEAT-HF) study...
Heart failure is a prevalent health problem associated with costly hospital readmissions. Transitional care programs have been shown to reduce readmissions but are implement. Evidence regarding the effectiveness of telemonitoring in managing this chronic condition mixed. The objective randomized controlled comparative study evaluate transition intervention that includes pre-discharge education about heart and post-discharge telephone nurse coaching combined home weight, blood pressure, rate,...
Background: Hospital administrative data are being used to identify patients with postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE), either pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). However, few studies have evaluated the accuracy of these ICD-9-CM codes across multiple hospitals. Methods and Materials: The Agency for Healthcare Research Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicator (PSI)-12 was cases VTE in 80 hospitals that volunteered an AHRQ University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC)...
Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) 15, or "Accidental Puncture Laceration" (APL), of the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality was recently endorsed as a consensus standard quality care by National Forum. We sought to determine positive predictive value (PPV) this indicator.We conducted retrospective cross-sectional study hospitalization records that met PSI 15 criteria. sampled cases from 32 geographically diverse hospitals, including both teaching nonteaching between October 1, 2005...
Overweight and obese children are likely to develop serious health problems. Among in the U.S., Latino affected disproportionally by obesity epidemic. Niños Sanos, Familia Sana (Healthy Children, Healthy Family) is a five-year, multi-faceted intervention study decrease rate of BMI growth Mexican origin California's Central Valley. This paper describes methodology applied launch study.Investigators use community-based participatory research approach quasi-experimental consisting four main...
As part of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) Validation Pilot Project, we evaluated criterion validity PSI 7. At time this study, 7 was entitled "Selected Infections Due to Medical Care" targeted catheter-related infections inflammatory reactions. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study 23 volunteer U.S. hospitals, where trained abstractors reviewed sample records that met criteria from October 1, 2005 March 31, 2007. Of 191 cases...
BACKGROUND Hospital‐acquired venous thromboembolism (HA‐VTE, VTE occurring during a hospitalization) codes in hospital billing data are often used as surrogate for hospital‐associated events or up to 30 days after hospitalization, which more difficult measure. OBJECTIVE Establish the incidence and composition of HA‐VTE/superficial thrombosis (SVT) coded large cohort medical patients. DESIGN Retrospective analysis discharges. SETTING Eighty‐three academic centers UHC (formerly University...
Summary Background Latino children and youth have some of the highest rates overweight obesity. Early intervention is important to prevent future obesity illness in this population. Methods A 3‐year, multifaceted was designed reduce rate growth body mass index (BMI) among Mexican‐origin children. Two communities California's agricultural Central Valley were targeted for comparison. To assess impact, anthropometric measures participating ( N = 422) collected analysed at baseline after 1 year...
To rank and score 180 countries according to COVID-19 cases fatality in 2020 compare the results existing pandemic vulnerability prediction models generated by standard epidemiological scoring techniques.One hundred eighty countries' patients with data representing healthcare system preparedness performance combating 2020.Using retrospective daily broken into 24 half-month periods, we applied unsupervised machine learning techniques, particular, hierarchical clustering analysis cluster five...
Symptomatic venous thromboembolism is a common postoperative complication. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed Patient Safety Indicator 12 to assist hospitals, payers, other stakeholders identify patients who experienced this complication.To determine whether newly created recently redefined ICD-9-CM codes improved the criterion validity of 12, based on new samples records dated after October 2009.Two sources data were used: (1) UHC retrospective case-control...
Quantifying the critical impact nurses have on prevention and early recognition of potential complications adverse events, such as those identified by Agency for Healthcare Research Quality (AHRQ) patient safety indicators (PSI), is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we describe how AHRQ PSI may be used to identify nursing-specific opportunities improve care based data from national validation pilot project.
Abstract BACKGROUND: The FDA‐approved dose of low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) may not provide adequate thromboprophylaxis in morbidly obese patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Suboptimal dosing, delayed initiation, and overreliance on mechanical methods also limit the effectiveness thromboprophylaxis. OBJECTIVE: We explored associations between type thromboprophylaxis, obesity, time mobilization, undergoing bilateral TKA development symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) TKA....
Hospital administrative data are being used to identify hospitals with hospital-acquired complications such as iatrogenic pneumothorax. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of hospitalization records estimate the positive predictive value (PPV) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicator A probability sample inpatient medical from 2006 2007 reviewed in national 28 volunteer hospitals. Among 200 flagged cases, PPV 78% (95% confidence interval =...
Obesity and overweight have increased dramatically in the United States over last decades. The complexity of interrelated causal factors that result obesity needs to be addressed within cultural dynamic sub-populations. In this study, we sought estimate effects a multifaceted, community-based intervention on body mass index (BMI) among Mexican-heritage children.Niños Sanos, Familia Sana (Healthy Children, Healthy Family) was quasi-experimental study designed reduce rate BMI growth children...
Legionnaires disease is a serious infection acquired by inhalation of water droplets from human-made building systems that contain Legionella bacteria. On July 11 and 12, 2022, Napa County Public Health (NCPH) in California received reports three positive urinary antigen tests for pneumophila serogroup 1 the town Napa. By 21, six cases had been confirmed among residents, compared with baseline one or two per year. NCPH requested assistance Department (CDPH) CDC to aid investigations. Close...
Background: Although participatory action research (PAR) studies have proliferated in recent years, the development of technological resources to manage these types projects has not kept pace. Few show how Web-based applications can be used efficiently data collection process.
