Survey: equipment budgets up; use in outpatient areas growing.

Most hospitals increased their capital equipment budgets this year, finds a new survey sponsored by Hospitals and the Linc Group Inc. Rather than adding new services, hospitals are replacing equipment. But they remain cautious about adding new services, experts note.

Evaluating technology for acquisition.

Cancer care consumes approximately 8% to 9% of all healthcare spending. The use of technology plays a key role in cancer, with both diagnostic and treatment implications, and technology is a large driver of healthcare spending. Understanding the role of technology and its integration in care may contribute to appropriate selection and utilization of technology, better decision making as to priorities in acquisition, and clinical cost efficiency.

CT in your ED? Make sure you've got enough space.

ED managers in small and medium-sized hospitals should think creatively when seeking approval for a department computed tomography scan. Safety considerations can make a compelling argument. Piggyback your request onto a larger performance improvement initiative. You may find a surprisingly supportive ally in the radiology department.

General-purpose infusion pumps: evaluating the Hospira Plum A+ with MedNet.

This study updates ECRI's previous Evaluations of general-purpose infusion pumps, most notably those published in the October 2002 and October 2003 Health Devices. It features the results of our findings for the new dose error reduction system now included with the Hospira (formerly Abbott) Plum A+ with MedNet, and it includes updated information for the previously evaluated models that also include this safety feature. General-purpose infusion pumps allow the controlled delivery of liquid medications and other solutions to patients through intravenous (i.v.) or epidural routes. Dose error reduction systems, which are now available on several pump models, represent a significant advancement in infusion pump technology. ECRI believes that such systems can help hospitals reduce potentially fatal pump programming errors, and we recommend that hospitals purchasing new general-purpose infusion pumps consider only those models that offer a dose error reduction system.
