- Clinical experts suggest that most hospitals replacing their capital equipment for transurethral resection of the prostate would opt for a bipolar system rather than a monopolar system. (springer.com)
Statistical2
- Length of stay is typically highly skewed and so statistical approaches taking that into account are recommended. (wikipedia.org)
- All studies investigating models wherein care delivery was integrated with primary services-either as embedded psychiatrists or multidisciplinary team-based care-reported either a statistical reduction in LOS [length of stay] or a trend in favor of reduced LOS," they wrote. (psychnews.org)
ALOS4
- A variation in the calculation of ALOS can be to consider only length of stay during the period under analysis. (wikipedia.org)
- The term "average length of stay" (ALOS) is also applicable to other industries, e.g. entertainment, event marketing, trade show and leisure. (wikipedia.org)
- ALOS is used to determine the length of time an attendee is expected to spend on a site or in a venue and is part of the calculation used to determine the gross sales potential for selling space to vendors etc. and affects everything from parking to sanitation, staffing and food and beverage. (wikipedia.org)
- ALOS (Average length of stay) should preferably be provided to the accuracy of hundreds, i.e. 0.01. (who.int)
Post-acute care1
- Compare the costs of routine hospital care with the added expense of post-acute care , then multiply that extra expense times an aging, dependent population, and you add billions of dollars to the recovery tab. (the-hospitalist.org)
Admission4
- Consultation and admission rates were not influenced by hospital occupancy. (nih.gov)
- Fall-related admission episodes were identified based on being admitted from a private residence to hospital with a principal diagnosis of injury (International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10-AM codes S00 to T75) and having a first external cause of a fall (ICD-10-AM codes W00 to W19). (bmj.com)
- Length of stay (LOS) of one patient = date of discharge - date of admission. (who.int)
- It seems to be common practice to use very large doses of intravenous (IV) corticosteroids (1-2 mg/kg of methylprednisolone every 6 hours) for a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation severe enough to require hospital admission. (medscape.com)
Conclusions1
- CONCLUSIONS: Length of stay for joint replacement fell substantially from 1997 to 2014. (ox.ac.uk)
General hospitals1
Emergency3
- The large-scale randomized trial, named ProCESS for Protocolized Care for Early Septic Shock, was done in 31 academic hospital emergency departments across the country and was funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), a component of the National Institutes of Health. (nih.gov)
- More striking than the number of injury deaths is the number of injuries seen in hospitals and emergency departments. (cdc.gov)
- Limbani Mapata is a Medical Doctor at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in the Emergency Department. (who.int)
Differences3
- In this study, we aimed to define the magnitude of hospital variability in postoperative length of stay (PLOS) in contemporary practice and to determine the degree to which this variability was accounted for by differences in patient case-mix. (duke.edu)
- Other patient characteristics, practice patterns, or institutional factors may cause the wide differences across hospitals in LOS. (umassmed.edu)
- No statistically significant differences in length of hospital stay were associated with individual symptoms. (bvsalud.org)
Mental hospitals1
- In Italy all mental hospitals have gradually shut-down, and mental health care is now delivered through a network of community-based mental health services. (biomedcentral.com)
Longer1
- The role of psychiatric diagnosis is also unclear: for instance, some studies suggest that diagnosis is not associated with length of stay, but others have found that psychoses or major depression [ 4 ] are correlated with longer length of stay. (biomedcentral.com)
Epidemiology1
- Hopkins hospital, in the Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control department. (cdc.gov)
Abdominal1
- Introduction: Post-Operative Ileus (POI) is a common complication of abdominal surgeries leading to increased hospital stay and healthcare costs. (sages.org)
Patient characteristics1
- While patient characteristics affect length of stay and reimbursement, patient profiles have remained broadly stable over time. (ox.ac.uk)
20161
- 2016). Association between insurance status and hospital length of stay following trauma . (aku.edu)
Acute hospital2
- 4) How equitable is acute hospital care (e.g. prescription, surgical treatment, length of hospital stay) for older people? (who.int)
- This research aims to provide evidence for more efficient, equitable and cost-effective health care delivery in Japan at the primary and secondary care levels spanning four domains: 1) outpatient care, 2) home care, 3) disaster health care, and 4) acute hospital care. (who.int)
Among hospitals1
- Given the marked variability among hospitals in CABG PLOS, institutions should consider benchmarking metrics of efficiency, as well as patient outcomes. (duke.edu)
Incidence1
Durations2
- OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to determine whether the introduction of community treatment orders, which allow for conditional release from a psychiatric hospital, reduced inpatient episode durations in Western Australia by providing an alternative to extended inpatient stays. (edu.au)
- For several decades, providers working within hospitals have had incentives to reduce stay durations and keep patient flow tip-top. (the-hospitalist.org)
Care10
- Does long-term care insurance affect the length of stay in hospitals for the elderly in Korea? (biomedcentral.com)
- This study examines the effects of long-term care insurance (LTCI) on the length of stay (LoS) of senior citizens under the national health insurance of Korea. (biomedcentral.com)
- The reason why there is an effect on the LoS of level 1 and 2 beneficiaries is that these groups could choose to utilize institutional care services provided by the LTCI, and out-of-pocket costs of institutions are lower than that of hospitals. (biomedcentral.com)
- Studies on trauma populations have also shown unclear relationships between insurance status and hospital length of stay (LOS), a commonly used metric for evaluating quality of care. (aku.edu)
- The unmet need for psychiatric care in the general hospital is substantial and compromises the quality and delivery of care," wrote Mark Oldham, M.D., of the University of Rochester Medical Center and colleagues. (psychnews.org)
- ABSTRACT The present study aimed to describe the emotional health indicators of mothers of hospitalized infants, considering the length of hospital stay in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). (bvsalud.org)
- The proportions of hospitalisations for each care type varied by hospital sector. (aihw.gov.au)
- Public hospitals accounted for 60% of hospitalisations for Acute care , while private hospitals accounted for 81% of hospitalisations for Rehabilitation care . (aihw.gov.au)
- over 60% of this cost was directly related to care delivered in the hospital setting. (medscape.com)
- and inadequate pre-hospital care is reported. (who.int)
Average length1
- Only the overall average length of stay in all hospitals is requested (no breakdown by diagnostic categories). (who.int)
Units1
- To remedy this, hospitals can reduce the size of the specialty units and open a larger, "virtual" general medicine unit. (leantaas.com)
