Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nurses play a vital role in improving the safety and quality of patient car -- not only in the hospital or ambulatory treatment facility, but also of community-based care and the care performed by family members. Nurses need know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes. To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), with additional funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has prepared this comprehensive, 1,400-page, handbook for nurses on patient safety and quality -- Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses. (AHRQ Publication No. 08-0043)." - online AHRQ blurb, http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/nurseshdbk/
Download or read book Learning New Technical and Interpersonal Routines in Operating Room Teams written by Amy C. Edmondson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates operating room teams confronted with learning a radically new technology for performing cardiac surgery. Past research in medicine has found that experience using new techniques leads to steady improvement but has not investigated organizational and group characteristics that may facilitate obtaining the right kinds of experience and ultimately facilitate successful adoption of new approaches. This paper begins to address this gap by examining organizational and group characteristics that vary across operating room teams learning a new technology. A specific barrier to learning that these teams faced was the highly precise routines characterizing the conventional surgical procedure; the new technology disrupted these routines, requiring the operating room teams to relearn how to work together. The authors report on data collected in 165 interviews with members of the operating room and others associated with the cardiac surgery process at 16 hospitals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in medical technology have altered the need for certain types of surgery to be performed in traditional inpatient hospital settings. Less invasive surgical procedures allow a growing number of medical treatments to take place on an outpatient basis. Hospitals face growing competition from ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). The competitive threats posed by ASCs are important, given that inpatient surgery has been the cornerstone of hospital services for over a century. Additional research is needed to understand how surgical volume shifts between and within acute care general hospitals (ACGHs) and ASCs. This study investigates how medical technology within the hospital industry is changing medical services delivery. The main purposes of this study are to (1) test Clayton M. Christensen's theory of disruptive innovation in health care, and (2) examine the effects of disruptive innovation on appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and bariatric surgery (ACBS) utilization. Disruptive innovation theory contends that advanced technology combined with innovative business models located outside of traditional product markets or delivery systems will produce simplified, quality products and services at lower costs with broader accessibility. Consequently, new markets will emerge, and conventional industry leaders will experience a loss of market share to "non-traditional" new entrants into the marketplace. The underlying assumption of this work is that ASCs (innovative business models) have adopted laparoscopy (innovative technology) and their unification has initiated disruptive innovation within the hospital industry. The disruptive effects have spawned shifts in surgical volumes from open to laparoscopic procedures, from inpatient to ambulatory settings, and from hospitals to ASCs. The research hypothesizes that: (1) there will be larger increases in the percentage of laparoscopic ACBS performed than open ACBS procedures; (2) ambulatory ACBS will experience larger percent increases than inpatient ACBS procedures; and (3) ASCs will experience larger percent increases than ACGHs. The study tracks the utilization of open, laparoscopic, inpatient and ambulatory ACBS. The research questions that guide the inquiry are: 1. How has ACBS utilization changed over this time? 2. Do ACGHs and ASCs differ in the utilization of ACBS? 3. How do states differ in the utilization of ACBS? 4. Do study findings support disruptive innovation theory in the hospital industry? The quantitative study employs a panel design using hospital discharge data from 2004 and 2009. The unit of analysis is the facility. The sampling frame is comprised of ACGHs and ASCs in Florida and Wisconsin. The study employs exploratory and confirmatory data analysis. This work finds that disruptive innovation theory is an effective model for assessing the hospital industry. The model provides a useful framework for analyzing the interplay between ACGHs and ASCs. While study findings did not support the stated hypotheses, the impact of government interventions into the competitive marketplace supports the claims of disruptive innovation theory. Regulations that intervened in the hospital industry facilitated interactions between ASCs and ACGHs, reducing the number of ASCs performing ACBS and altering the trajectory of ACBS volume by shifting surgeries from ASCs to ACGHs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine if the operating suite at Naval Hospital Jacksonville (NHJAX) is being under utilized. The operating suite consists of six operating rooms (OR) that provide service for seven surgical services. The variables OR capacity, OR capacity utilized, allocated block time per service, allocated block time used per service, and the number of surgical cases referred outside NHJAX were analyzed. Data were collected over fiscal year 2002. Analysis showed that the OR suite is only utilizing 69.25% of available minutes for the year. Out of the seven surgical services only Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) consumes greater than 75% of allocated minutes. The result of this study showed that the OR is being under utilized and that the antiquated data collection system (which requires a great deal of manual data collection) employed n the OR suite needs to be replaced with a user-friendly modern system. Thereby, allowing for improved utilization of resources, including equipment, rooms, and staff.
