Breaking With Tradition: The New Groups in Professional Nursing
Chronic shortages of registered nurses (RNs) have stimulated interest in locating non-traditional sources of RNs. A statewide survey of 2,315 newly graduated RNs compared three non-traditional groups in nursing with their traditional counterparts, identifying differences that have implications for successful recruitment and retention. Second career nurses, former LPNs and minorities comprised 41.9% of the population. Compared to the traditional g…
A Time-Insensitive Predictive Instrument for Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality: A Multicenter Study
This study develops a "time-insensitive" predictive instrument for acute myocardial infarction mortality that would be useful both as a real-time clinical decision aid in the emergency medical setting and also for retrospective assessment and comparison of medical care based on risk-adjusted mortality predictions. This was done using prospectively-collected data on 5,773 patients with chief complaints of chest pain or other symptoms suggesting ac…
Cardiac Nuclear Imaging: Adoption of an Evolving Technology
A national survey was conducted to examine the extent of adoption and use of nuclear imaging procedures in cardiology in hospitals by 1979 and to develop estimates for 1983. The data are based on the responses of 171 hospitals from a representative 200-hospital sample stratified for region, bed-size, and teaching status. Extrapolating the data, it is estimated that 2,106 hospitals nationally use cardiac nuclear imaging. In 1979, hospitals with at…
Implications of Alternative Sampling Strategies for Emergency Medical Service Evaluation
Evaluations of emergency medical service (EMS) programs have been ambiguous, due in part, to problems of sample definition. Four different sampling strategies were studied: 1) all patients in cardiac arrest; 2) patients with a final diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI); 3) patients with an emergency room diagnosis of "rule out MI"; and 4) patients identified by the ambulance team as a possible MI. Using a regional data base of all ambulance ru…
