TY - JOUR. T1 - Surgeon-Reported Complications vs the AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators. T2 - A Comparison of Two Approaches to Identifying Adverse Events. AU - Anderson, Jamie. AU - Utter, Garth H. AU - Romano, Patrick S. AU - Jurkovich, Gregory. PY - 2018/1/1. Y1 - 2018/1/1. N2 - Background: Traditionally, clinicians present complications at surgical morbidity and mortality (M&M) conferences, and the AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) use inpatient administrative data to identify certain adverse outcomes. Although both methods are used to identify adverse events and inform quality improvement efforts, these 2 methods might not overlap. Study Design: This is a retrospective observational study of all hospitalizations at a single academic department of surgery (including subspecialties) in 2016 involving a PSI-defined event (PSIs 03, 05 to 15) identified by surgery faculty and residents for review by departmental M&M conference or administrative data (according to AHRQ, version 6.0). Pediatric ...
Muscle Training Effective in Treating Urinary Incontinence for Women :: By :: Article :: Super Doctors
April 9, 2012 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. A type of exercise called pelvic floor muscle training is effective for treating adult women with urinary incontinence (the involuntary loss of urine) without risk of side effects, according to a new report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The report also found that drug-based treatments can be effective, but the degree of benefit is low and side effects are common.. The report, a comparative effectiveness review prepared for AHRQs Effective Health Care Program by the Minnesota Evidence-based Practice Center, was published today in Annals of Internal Medicine. The full report and summary publications for consumers and clinicians are available at http://www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov. Urinary incontinence can affect women in a variety of ways, including physically, psychologically and socially-and some of these impacts can be severe, said AHRQ Director ...

Better Information for Better Health Care: The Evidence-based Practice Center Program and the Agency for Healthcare Research...
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has pursued its commitment to evidence-based practice through research and programs that have produced important new information about the benefits, risks, costs, and cost-effectiveness of specific treatments and technologies for common and costly conditions such as back pain, prostate disease, and pneumonia (5-7). Perhaps the most visible commitment to evidence-based practice was AHRQs support of a clinical practice guideline program that produced 19 guidelines from 1990 to 1996 (http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/cpgonline.htm) on important conditions such as heart failure and otitis media (8). A program initially requested by Congress, the guidelines proved popular with many stakeholders, and their explicit methods helped elevate the standards for evidence-based guidelines. At the same time, they also revealed limitations of centrally developed, government-sponsored guidelines. The process of convening individual panels, commissioning background ...

AHRQ Issues Patient Safety Primers on Electronic Health Records and on Individual Clinician Performance
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has issued two new health care patient safety primers: 1) electronic health records; and 2) individual clinician performance. On electronic health records, AHRQ noted that the transition to this new way of recording and communicating health care information has also introduced new opportunities for error and other unanticipated consequences that can present safety risks. On individual clinician performance, AHRQ noted that individual clinician performance issues may relate to technical competence to perform specific tasks or procedures necessary to provide safe patient care. Alternatively, a clinician may be technically proficient-or even outstanding-but provide unsafe care for a variety of other reasons, including poor communication skills, lack of professionalism, or medical or mental health conditions.

Hyperventilation Shows Benefits for Asthma; Evidence is Limited
Authors of a comparative effectiveness review issued by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality conclude that hyperventilation reduction techniques may be a useful tool in the larger asthma management toolbox, which also includes medication and other components as needed, such as environmental controls, symptom monitoring, and a plan for handling exacerbations. However, given that none of the studies included in the review were conducted in the United States, available evidence is limited in its strength and applicability to the US population, they add. The authors searched MEDLINE; PsycInfo; Embase; Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature; Physiotherapy Evidence Database; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; AltHealthWatch; Allied and Complementary Medicine; Manual, Alternative and Natural Therapy Index System; and Indian Medical Journals from 1990 through December 2011.

Age/sex registries in primary care research | Practice-Based Research Networks | Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Age/sex registries have been examined as a method of estimating the number of individuals served by a primary care practice. These data can be used in estimating disease frequency from primary care encounter data. The experience with age/sex registries in the Ambulatory Sentinel Practice Network (ASPN) has identified three major sources of error when registry data are used to estimate disease rates: (1) studies using medical encounter data exclude those individuals who do not seek medical care, (2) visitation is not random and is a function of variables in addition to disease incidence, and (3) encounter data from primary care practices are incomplete due to reporting problems and patient-initiated visits to other health care providers. Despite these limitations, age/sex registries can provide a practical tool for estimating disease rates in appropriate settings, assessing the generalizability of results, and assessing the feasibility of studies in practice based research. Further research about ...
