Heart-smart service.

Cardiology patients--direct and ED admits--go to Lancaster General Hospital's Cardiology Admissions Unit (CAU) to receive care until a bed is available in an inpatient unit. The CAU yields high patient volume, positive patient and staff feedback, decreased ED length of stay, prompt initiation of treatment protocols, and more effective discharge planning.

Clostridium difficile colitis induced by cytarabine.

Pseudomembranous enterocolitis (PMC) has become a widely recognized syndrome of nausea, abdominal distention, and severe (frequently bloody) diarrhea (1). While this syndrome was first associated with the administration of clindamycin, almost all antimicrobial drugs can serve as predisposing agents (2). We wish to report a patient with typical PMC induced by the administration of cytarabine.

Dibromodulcitol in the treatment of metastatic hemangiopericytoma.

Hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon sarcoma arising from the pericapillary cells. While the rarity of this lesion precludes randomized investigation, metastatic hemangiopericytoma has been noted to respond to a variety of agents, including vincristine, adriamycin, actinomycin, and high-dose methotrexate. We wish to report an unusual case of this disease which failed to respond to the above but then exhibited a marked response to dibromodulcitol. In light of the unusual nature of this response, we would like to suggest a controlled trial of the use of dibromodulcitol in patients with this rare tumor.

Ensuring competencies of multidisciplinary staff in patient-focused care.

Faced with rising health care costs and consumer demands, hospitals are finding creative ways to streamline the delivery of patient care. One such approach is patient-focused care (PFC), in which hospitals bring services to the patient's beside and cross-train staff. The success of PFC depends on training and measuring staff competence in the new skills. This article describes how to implement an educational plan based on competencies for a successful transition to PFC.
