While this supports provider concerns over an increase in antibiotic utilization, hospital CDI rates actually decreased by a mean of 5.5 nosocomial infections per 10,000 patient hours during the study period. Although some practitioners may feel some relief knowing that this study failed to find a CDI epidemic as the result of an overall protocol […]

Based on this feedback, the baseline education expectations were revised to include completion of a percentage of resident post-shift assessments over the academic year, inversely proportional to a faculty member’s clinical load. During the first year , the requirements included only conference and module participation.Table 1 lists the final baseline education expectations required of faculty members. […]

Different vulnerabilities may interact to influence experiences of the pandemic. All participants were enrolled in a clinical trial, were not experiencing severe medical problems from their substance use, owned smartphones, and were proficient in English.

With the provisional emergence of non-suicidal self-injury disorder criteria in the fifth version of the Statistical and Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-V ,the distinction between self-harm as within a normative or pathological […]

In contrast to the 36-year-old waiver policy that preceded it, GBR guarantees a hospital’s annual revenue by calculating global budget based on market share. Adjustments in global budgets are tied to changes in market share and the state’s gross domestic product. In some ways, GBR is an extension of TPR. However, GBR is not a […]

Although we suspect that reducing the number of required questions would free nurses to spend more time on direct patient care and improve efficiency of ED throughput, additional research will be required to study this hypothesis. Studies evaluating ED screening questions often praise their ability to detect at-risk groups without looking at patient oriented outcomes or […]

But it also reflects the deleterious effects of our mandatory minimum sentencing policies, discussed below. Finally, drug problems are distributed over time.
