  • Relationship Between Processes of Care and Coronary Bypass Operative Mortality and Morbidity

    Maureen M O’Brien, A Laurie Shroyer et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2004Referencias: 49

    BACKGROUND: Information is limited regarding the effects of processes of care on cardiac surgical outcomes. Correspondingly, many recommended cardiac surgical processes of care are derived from animal experiments or clinical judgment. This report from the VA Cooperative Study in Health Services, "Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgery," focuses on the relationships between 3 process groups (preoperative evaluation, intraoperative …

  • The Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery Study Protocol

    A Laurie Shroyer, Martin J London et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Recently, a growing interest has arisen in defining and measuring health care outcomes. Although outcome measures may be used as potential quality-of-care screens, outcomes cannot indicate directly how care might be improved. Thus, the Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) study was designed to investigate the linkages between the processes and structures of care with risk-adjusted outcomes for cardiac surgery car…

  • Development of an Interactive Data Base Management System for Capturing Large Volumes of Data

    Thomas E Moritz, Thomas Moritz et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Accurate collection and successful management of data are problems common to all scientific studies. For studies in which large quantities of data are collected by means of questionnaires and/or forms, data base management becomes quite laborious and time consuming. Data base management comprises data collection, data entry, data editing, and data base maintenance. In this article, the authors describe the development of an interactive data base …

  • Evaluating Anesthesia Health Care Delivery for Cardiac Surgery

    Martin J London, A Laurie Shroyer et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Anesthesia care is an integral component of cardiac surgery. Emphasis on cost-effectiveness and decreased hospital stay has prompted reevaluation of anesthesia practice. However, the role of anesthesia process and structure variables in relation to patient outcomes is largely unknown. Processes, Structures and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery is the first epidemiologic study to collect data on anesthesia processes, such as the pharmacologic co…

  • Variations in the Processes and Structures of Cardiac Surgery Nursing Care

    Catherine B Villanueva, SHANN T LUDWIG et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Nurses play an invaluable role as key members of the cardiac surgery patient's medical care team. Over the last century, the nursing profession has become more independent and autonomous. Despite the widespread use of nursing quality indicators, the effect of nursing-specific processes and structures of care on patient outcomes is unknown. Thus, the Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) study was initiated, in par…
