There is a growing body of research on resistance in IS projects, a good deal of which focuses on strategies for overcoming resistance. However, within this strand of research, it appears that there is a ‘blanket prescription’ approach that does not account for diversity in resistance reasoning. We offer a qualitative study of the response of diverse actors to a pilot of a custom developed clie...

BACKGROUND Over a quarter of hospital prescribing errors are attributable to incomplete medication histories being obtained at the time of admission. We undertook a systematic review of studies describing the frequency, type and clinical importance of medication history errors at hospital admission. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL for articles published from 1966 through April ...

A medication error is a health problem that has many impacts on patients ranging from mild risk to even the most severe of causing death. The number mistakes in prescription writing at Ibnu Sina Bukittinggi Hospital September 2016 increased 60.90%. Therefore, study aims analyze factors pharmacy RSI. This type research uses qualitative approach. Informants this were 5 people who taken intentiona...

Recently, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been used for total-body irradiation (TBI). Since the planning target volume (PTV) for TBI includes the surrounding air, a dose prescription to the PTV provides high fluence to the body surface. Thus with just a small set-up error, the body might be exposed to a high-fluence beam. This study aims to assess which target volume should be ...

Numerical simulations of the quarkonium spin splittings are done in the framework of lattice nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD). At leading order in the velocity expansion the spin splittings are of O(MQv 4), where MQ is the renormalized quark mass and v 2 is the mean squared quark velocity (v2 ψ ≈ .3 and v 2 Υ ≈ .1). A systematic analysis is done of all nextto-leading order correct...

This paper addresses selection of the loss function for regression problems with finite data. It is well-known (under standard regression formulation) that for a known noise density there exist an optimal loss function under an asymptotic setting (large number of samples), i.e. squared loss is optimal for Gaussian noise density. However, in real-life applications the noise density is unknown an...

Results A total of 634 observations made over weekdays and weekends were performed including morning, noon and night shifts. 36.27 % observations (230) included some type of error, a total of 245 medication errors were detected. According to the type of error found: 52 were prescription errors (21.22%), 2 omissions (0.82%), 44 related to administration technique (wrong speed) (17.96%), 10 omiss...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence, nature and predictors of prescribing errors (PEs) in three mental health hospitals. SETTING Inpatient units in three National Health Service (NHS) mental health hospitals in the North West of England. PARTICIPANTS Trained clinical pharmacists prospectively recorded the number of PEs in newly written or omitted prescription items screened during their r...

The quality of physician prescribing is suboptimal. Patients are at risk of potentially adverse reaction because of inappropriate or writing error in the drug prescriptions. We assess the effect of "group academic detailing" to reduce writing drug name using brand name and short form in the drug prescriptions in a controlled study at two primary health care clinics in Negeri Sembilan. Five medi...

BACKGROUND There is individual variability to cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) training, but the underlying cause is not well understood. Traditionally, a standardized approach to exercise prescription has utilized relative percentages of maximal heart rate, heart rate reserve (HRR), maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), or VO2 reserve to establish exercise intensity. However, this model fails to take...
