Abstract

The overall aim of diversity is to ensure that every individual, whatever their differences, has fair and equitable access to health care and to employment based on clinical need and merit. This has advantages for staff by allowing them to give of their best and for patients by better identifying and meeting their needs. Evidence shows that individuals from minority groups are often not treated fairly and positive action is required to redress the balance.

Use of time by physiotherapists and occupational therapists in a stroke rehabilitation unit: a comparison between four European rehabilitation centres.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the time allocated to therapeutic activities (TA) and non-therapeutic activities (NTA) of physiotherapists (PT) and occupational therapists (OT) in stroke rehabilitation units in four European countries. METHOD: Therapists documented their activities in 15-min periods for two weeks. They recorded: activity, number of patients, number of stroke patients, involvement of other people, location and frequency of each activity. Kruskal-Wallis tests and negative binomial regression models were used to compare activities between professional groups and between units. RESULTS: The average proportion of TA per day ranged between 32.9% and 66.1% and was higher for PT than for OT in each unit. For OT, significant differences emerged between the units in the proportion of time allocated to TA compared to NTA with British OTs spending significantly less time in TA. In the Belgian unit, three times less time was spent on patient-related co-ordination activities (e.g., administration, ward rounds) compared to the British and Swiss units. CONCLUSIONS: Time allocation differed between PT and OT and between units, affecting the time available for TA. Further investigation is necessary to study the effect of work organization in stroke rehabilitation units on the efficiency of rehabilitation regimes.

[Waste of resources as a result of cancelled or delayed diagnostic imaging of hospitalized patients].

INTRODUCTION: When diagnostic imaging is cancelled on short notice or an examination is delayed, the Imaging Department suffers a loss. Based on voluntary reporting of such events, we have estimated the total expenditure involved. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For one year an orderly reported cases in which, when he arrived to fetch an inpatient, the latter was no longer in the ward or was not ready. From this study material we estimated the waste of time for the staff and the total price of cancelled or delayed examinations, spread over various categories. This sum is related to the estimated cost of one preventive measure: letting the orderly check in the hospital's electronic administrative system whether the patient is still in the ward indicated. RESULTS: A total of 436 cancelled or delayed examinations were reported in 2004. In 249 cases the examination was cancelled, and since the recorded total number of cancellations was 1,435, we estimate the total number of cancelled or delayed exams to be approximately 2,500 (1,435 x 436/249). The estimated total waste of time is 66 weeks (1(1/2) years' work). The estimated price of the cancelled or delayed examinations is 2.4 million Danish kroner. When we relate the savings if the problem is solved to the cost of prevention, we find that it would be clearly profitable to address fluoroscopy and CT scanning. Conversely, addressing bone X-rays would generate a loss. CONCLUSION: We conclude that there is a very large waste of resources caused by cancelled or delayed imaging examinations.

Efficiency of immediate postoperative inpatient physical therapy following total knee arthroplasty: an RCT.

BACKGROUND: The main goal of physical therapy treatment (PT) in the clinical stage following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is to prepare patients for discharge from the hospital as soon as possible after their operation. Although aggressive rehabilitation is believed to be important, evidence of effects of different exercise programmes following TKA is limited. This led to the question whether the intensity of PT (once versus twice daily) following TKA affects short-term recovery, measured as range of motion. METHODS: A randomised controlled trial compared an exercise regimen of two sessions per day with a similar programme administered once daily. Primary outcome measure was ROM. RESULTS: At the time of hospital discharge, there was no difference between the experimental and control groups in range of motion. CONCLUSION: This study shows that in our setting twice daily PT sessions do not produce different results as daily PT sessions. It may be questioned whether multiple daily therapy sessions are needed as an in-hospital PT regimen in OA total knee patients.
