Unit-wide notification of ventilator disconnections.

The alarms generated by mechanical ventilators when patients become disconnected can blend in with other typical sounds of the intensive care unit. Ventilator alarms that go unnoticed for extended periods of time often result in permanent patient harm or death. We developed a unit-wide system to monitor ventilator disconnection alarms. When a disconnection is identified, the system takes control of every computer in the patient's intensive care unit and generates an enhanced audio and visual alert. This system was tested in four ICUs at LDS Hospital. Acceptance by medical personnel was very high and patient safety was improved through early intervention that avoided prolonged hypoxia. In addition, the system facilitated root cause analyses and new safety strategies.

Physician pattern of patient notification of test results.

OBJECTIVE: To discover how community-based family physicians notify patients of test results and whether there are differences based on sex, length of time in practice, reimbursement status, employment status,or percentage of practice in managed care. METHODS: We mailed a survey to 500 randomly selected members of the South Carolina chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians. All analyses were preformed using SASTM version 8.2. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the collected data. RESULTS: A total of 367 physicians responded (73% response rate). The main outcome variable was the time each physician spent notifying patients of test results: a mean of 20.86 +/- 18.3 minutes per day(range 0-120 minutes/day). Women physicians and those with more than 75% managed care were significantly more likely to spend more than the median time notifying patients of test results. CONCLUSION: Physicians vary in the amount of time they spend notifying patients of their test results, with female physicians and those with more than 75% of their practice in managed care spending more time than do male physicians and physicians with less managed care.

Medicare program; notification of hospital discharge appeal rights. Final rule.

This final rule sets forth requirements for how hospitals must notify Medicare beneficiaries who are hospital inpatients about their hospital discharge rights. Notice is required both for original Medicare beneficiaries and for beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage (MA) plans and other Medicare health plans subject to the MA regulations. (For purposes of this preamble, these entities will collectively be known as "Medicare health plans"). Hospitals will use a revised version of the Important Message from Medicare (IM), an existing statutorily required notice, to explain the discharge rights. Hospitals must issue the IM within 2 days of admission, and must obtain the signature of the beneficiary or his or her representative. Hospitals will also deliver a copy of the signed notice prior to discharge, but not more than 2 days before the discharge. For beneficiaries who request an appeal, the hospital will deliver a more detailed notice.

Controlled trial on medical birth notification design.

In a controlled trial, two different forms were compared with respect to thoroughness of completing medical data on procedures during pregnancy, labor, and in newborns. The contents of 547 forms filled in by hospital personnel were compared to data abstracted from hospital records by trained research assistants. Forms with open-ended questions lacked information on 29% of the most common procedures and forms with a check-box format 9%. The results support the use of the check-box format in routine collection of data on common medical procedures.
