There is insufficient information about the effectiveness of medical team training on surgical outcomes. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) implemented a formalized program for operating room personnel national level.To determine whether an association existed between VHA Medical Team Training and outcomes.A retrospective health services study with contemporaneous control group was conducted. Outcome data were obtained from Surgical Quality Improvement Program (VASQIP) structured...

Interview with Dr. Eileen Reynolds on the ACGME's review of clinical learning environments and its goals for residency programs. (11:33)Download On basis site visits that it has conducted Clinical Learning Environment Review program, Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education reports finding a generalized lack resident engagement in systems-based practice.
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) recognizes the public's need a physician workforce capable of meeting challenges rapidly evolving health care environment. ACGME has responded to this by implementing Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) program as part its Next System. CLER is designed provide US teaching hospitals, medical centers, systems, and other clinical settings affiliated with ACGME-accredited institutions periodic feedback that addresses...
Context: Many safety initiatives have been transferred successfully from commercial aviation to health care. This article develops a typology of initiatives, applies this care, and proposes measures that might be adopted more widely. It then presents an economic framework for determining the likely costs benefits different patient initiatives. Methods: describes fifteen examples error countermeasures are used in public transport aviation, many which not routinely care at present. Examples...

To evaluate possible cerebral simulated weightlessness, we measured velocity middle artery (MCA) along with retinal vascular diameters, intraocular pressure, impedance cardiography, sphygmomanometry on nine men (26.2 +/- 6.6 yr) morning evening for...
<h3>Background:</h3> Adverse drug events (ADEs) account for considerable patient morbidity and mortality as well legal, operational care costs. In Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals in the USA, all serious adverse "potential" are reviewed using root cause analysis (RCA). This study characterised RCA reports associated with ADEs to determine what actions VA teams took reduce number or severity of ADEs, evaluate which were effective doing so. <h3>Methods:</h3> Every medication-related submitted...
Achieving a culture of safety is believed to be an important mechanism for improving patient safety. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) measures provider perceptions across six domains; higher scores denote more positive perceptions. Although professional differences on the SAQ have been explored, sex not.The was administered operating room (OR) care givers at nine Department Veterans Affairs hospitals. We determined mean domain by giver profession and sex, used analysis variance...
