The Cost of ICU Delirium and Coma in the Intensive Care Unit Patient
RATIONALE: Intensive care unit (ICU) delirium is highly prevalent and a potentially avoidable hospital complication. The current cost of ICU delirium is unknown. OBJECTIVES: To specify the association between the daily occurrence of delirium in the ICU with costs of ICU care accounting for time-varying illness severity and death. RESEARCH DESIGN: We performed a prospective cohort study within medical and surgical ICUs in a large academic medical …
Measuring and Comparing Safety Climate in Intensive Care Units
BACKGROUND: Learning about the factors that influence safety climate and improving the methods for assessing relative performance among hospital or units would improve decision-making for clinical improvement. OBJECTIVES: To measure safety climate in intensive care units (ICU) owned by a large for-profit integrated health delivery systems; identify specific provider, ICU, and hospital factors that influence safety climate; and improve the reporti…
Behind-the-Scenes of Patient-Centered Care
BACKGROUND: Transitions to patient-centered health care, the increasing complexity of care, and growth in self-management have all increased the frequency and intensity of clinical services provided outside office settings and between visits. Understanding how electronic messaging, which is often used to coordinate care, affects care is crucial. A taxonomy for codifying clinical text messages into standardized categories could facilitate content …
Increased Risk of Death in Patients With Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders
BACKGROUND: Whereas studies have shown higher mortality rates in patients with do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders, most have not accounted for confounding factors related to the use of DNR orders and/or factors related to the risk of death. OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between the use of DNR orders and in-hospital mortality, adjusting for severity of illness and other covariates. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. PATIENTS: There were 1…
A Firm Trial of Interdisciplinary Rounds on the Inpatient Medical Wards
OBJECTIVES: In August 1993 a group of house staff and nursing staff at MetroHealth Medical Center formed a quality improvement team to evaluate the process of medical care on the inpatient wards. Using standard continuous quality improvement (CQI) methods, a team of medical interns, nurses, and other health professionals involved in patient care on the medicine inpatient service designed interdisciplinary, daily work rounds to improve the care of…
