Based on field studies of work at the surgical department of a university hospital, we propose ideas for enhancing the visualization of, and collaboration on, patient information. As several specialized physicians are connected to a case for a time period of several weeks or months, we have identified the need for physicians to quickly visualize only the relevant information on a case, as well ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of educational actions on the results of an adherence indicator while checking patient identification wristbands before high-risk care. METHODS This is a descriptive and exploratory study that was conducted in a large university hospital between January 2013 and December 2014, where 6,201 patients were interviewed. Data were analyzed b...

When The Knoll, the building that houses CCRMA, was completely renovated in 2004, new custom workstations were designed and built with the goal of being both fast machines and completely noiseless to match the architectural and acoustical design of the building.

On the basis of a large outbreak of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in a German university hospital, we estimated costs ( approximately 1 million Euros) that could have been avoided by early detection of the imminent outbreak. For this purpose, we demonstrate an easy-to-use statistical method.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Literature points out routine factors with negative impact on anesthesiologists' quality of life. This study aims to compare the perception of quality of life of anesthesiologists and non-anesthesiologists. METHOD Transversal study based on three specific questionnaires (epidemiological, WHOQOL-BREF and SF-12®) applied in anesthesiologists (Group A) and non-anesthesi...

We show that the large corrections due to final state interactions (FSI) in the D+ → π−π+π+ , D+ s → π−π+π+ , and D+ → K−π+π+ decays can be accounted for by invoking scattering amplitudes in agreement with those derived from phase shifts studies. In this way, broad/overlapping resonances in S-waves are properly treated and the phase motion of the amplitudes are driven by the corresponding scatt...
