Cardiac Nuclear Imaging
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…
An Analytic Method for the Evaluation of Rural Emergency Medical Service Development
An analytic method is presented for assessing the marginal impact of incremental changes in rural Emergency Medical Services (EMS) on cardiac mortality, morbidity, EMS system process and performance, and health care system utilization. The method incorporates a model of the EMS system. This model specifies five sets of interactive variables characterizing EMS system development and effectiveness. The analytic method quantifies the contribution of…

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…
Studies of ambulance patients with ischemic heart disease. 1. The outcome of pre-hospital life-threatening arrhythmias in patients receiving electrocardiographic telemetry and therapeutic intervention…
Patient delay in seeking medical assistance for acute ischemic heart disease and the incidence of potentially life-threatening arrhythmias en route to the hospital were examined in a 22-month community trial of ambulance telemetry. Of 7,654 patients transported, 179 who had electrocardiograms (ECGS) transmitted were found to have had acute MIs or acute myocardial ischemic events. Fifty per cent of these patients summoned an ambulance within 30 mi…
Studies of ambulance patients with ischemic heart disease. 11. Selection of patients for ambulance telemetry
One hundred eighty-two of 1,928 patients (9.4 per cent) transported by ambulance during a six-month period in Baltimore had ECGs transmitted. Review of the remaining 1,746 records by two cardiologists indicated that an additional 113 patients should have had their ECGs transmitted because of life-threatening conditions. Of patients with acute ischemic heart disease, 47 had ECG monitoring and 24 did not. There were 22 per cent more Killip 111/1V p…

A Nurse Rehabilitatorʼs Impact on Patients with Myocardial Infarction
A nurse rehabilitator, supplementing routine physician/nursing coronary care unit (CCU) care, was found to be effective in increasing the return to work rate (p less than .05) and decreasing smoking (p less than .05) in a randomized trial of 102 patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). These outcomes were thought to be due to the nurse rehabilitator's efforts in increasing patient knowledge of heart disease (p less than .01) and individual…
Effectiveness of educational and administrative interventions in medical outpatient clinics
This study examines the popular belief that increased educational supervision and increased administrative support in university outpatient clinics will improve physician performance, which in turn will improve the process and outcome of patient care. Positive effects on house officers' attitudes and better functioning of clinics with respect to follow-up, information retrieval, and prescribing practices were demonstrated. However, no differences…
