Factors and circumstances related to complaints in emergency medical dispatching in Sweden: an exploratory study.

There are 20 SOS Alarm emergency dispatch centres in Sweden, and from these centres approximately one million ambulances are dispatched each year. The aim of the study was to explore factors and circumstances that contributed to misjudgements or filed complaints in emergency medical dispatching filed at the Patient Advisory Committees (n=24), the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare (n=20) and the Medical Responsibility Board (n=10). This is a retrospective study of all decisions on complaints made between 1991 and 2000, and the data were analysed in two phases. In the first phase, categories of cause were revealed, and in the second phase, factors and circumstances were identified that related to misjudgements or filed complaints. The findings show that in nearly half (23/54) of the complaints, the assessments were stated as been made on the basis of second-hand consultations, e.g. the SOS operators had not spoken directly to the ill person. In 19 out of 21 complaints dealing with the decision-making process, the assessments were made on second-hand information. Second-hand information may constitute an aggravating circumstance in assessing the urgency of the care needed on the telephone. The findings suggest that the call receivers should be more cautious when undertaking assessments on the basis of information provided by a third person.

Nursing law violations. A threat to competent and safe nursing practice.

Nurse Practice Act violations pose threats to consumers of nursing services and lead to disciplinary actions against nurses by boards of nursing. To analyze nursing law violations, the actions and decisions of boards of nursing, and evaluate trends in negligent and unsafe nursing practice, the authors reviewed nursing law violations as well as rates of recidivism among nurses who received actions against their nursing licenses in Kentucky. The authors discuss how their findings can assist nurse administrators in investigating nurse care givers before employment and in initiating safeguards against nurse violations that affect client safety.

State and territorial boards of nursing approaches to the use of unlicensed assistive personnel.

This study examined U.S. state and territorial boards of nursing approaches to the regulation of the use of: unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) in acute care hospitals; state and jurisdictional authority, oversight and disciplinary action related to registered nurse (RN) delegation, supervision and assignment; educational preparation requirements for UAP; and future projections for their use. A survey was administered to 53 state and territorial boards of nursing officials in 1998. A majority of the states reported that they had regulations/guidelines for RN's who supervised UAP and regulations that protected the use of the RN title. Few states used the American Nurses Association or National Council of State Boards of Nursing definitions for delegation, supervision, or assignment. The majority have formulated their own definitions. The majority of states reported no standardized curriculum in place for UAP employed in acute care hospitals. More than half of the states reported that no plans existed for developing a curriculum.
