diagnosis-related group (drg) systems across europe are very heterogeneous, in particular because of different classification variables and algorithms as well as costing methodologies. but, given the challenge of increasing patient mobility within europe, health systems are forced to incorporate a common patient classification language in order to compare and identify similar patients e.g. for ...

Throughout a patient's stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), accurate measurement of patient mobility, as part of routine care, is helpful in understanding the harmful effects of bedrest [1]. However, mobility is typically measured through observation by a trained and dedicated observer, which is extremely limiting. In this work, we present a video-based automated mobility measurement system c...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the association between various measures of spinal mobility and radiographic damage of the spine in individual patients with ankylosing spondylitis, and to determine whether the assessment of spinal mobility can be a proxy for the assessment of radiographic damage. METHODS Radiographic damage was assessed by the mSASSS. Cumulative probability plots combined the radiog...

Objective: To demonstrate the association between various measures of spinal mobility and radiographic damage of the spine in individual patients with ankylosing spondylitis, and to determine whether the assessment of spinal mobility can be a proxy for the assessment of radiographic damage. Methods: Radiographic damage was assessed by the mSASSS. Cumulative probability plots combined the radiog...

This study explores the behaviour of hospitals in Lombardy attracting patients from outside region and investigates effects on quality care to regional patients, where treatment latter is constrained by a budget cap while extra-regional represent an unconstrained source revenue. The data suggest that use waiting time length stay attract patients. Regional both private public with higher proport...

In this paper, we provide a comprehensive assessment of the role of coworker-based networks in the labor market. Using Danish register data, we first analyse how such social networks shape workers' inter-firm mobility patterns, considering both job-to-job and unemployment-to-job movements. We then assess which dimensions of worker-pair-specific social capital are the main drivers of individual ...

Introduction: Older adults aged 65 and over are vulnerable to functional decline during hospitalization negative outcomes associated with immobility such as pressure injuries falls. Studies reveal that nurses overlook patient mobilization due competing priorities a lack of comfort mobilization. Hospital-associated can be mitigated through protocols. A 36-bed medical surgical unit in South Flori...
