Trends and Disparities in Post-acute Care Utilization After Hospitalization for Sepsis in the United States: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND: Post-acute care (PAC) utilization following sepsis hospitalization remains understudied, particularly concerning racial and ethnic and urban-rural disparities. OBJECTIVES: To examine trends and disparities in PAC utilization after sepsis hospitalization, focusing on race, ethnicity, and rurality. METHODS: A comprehensive search of databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus) was conducted for eligible studies using d…
Nursing Home Infection Control Program Characteristics, CMS Citations, and Implementation of Antibiotic Stewardship Policies: A National Study
Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) final rule required that nursing homes (NHs) develop an infection control program that includes an antibiotic stewardship component and employs a trained infection preventionist (IP). The objectives of this study were to provide a baseline assessment of (1) NH facility and infection control program characteristics associated with having an infection control deficiency citation and (2) a…
Nurse Workforce Characteristics and Infection Risk in VA Community Living Centers: A Longitudinal Analysis
OBJECTIVE: To examine effects of workforce characteristics on resident infections in Veterans Affairs (VA) Community Living Centers (CLCs). DATA SOURCES: A 6-year panel of monthly, unit-specific data included workforce characteristics (from the VA Decision Support System and Payroll data) and characteristics of residents and outcome measures (from the Minimum Data Set). STUDY DESIGN: A resident infection composite was the dependent variable. Work…
Translating Infection Control Guidelines Into Practice: Implementation Process Within a Health Care Institution
Health-care-associated infections (HAIs) remain a major patient safety problem even as policy and programmatic efforts designed to reduce HAIs have increased. Although information on implementing effective infection control (IC) efforts has steadily grown, knowledge gaps remain regarding the organizational elements that improve bedside practice and accommodate variations in clinical care settings. We conducted in-depth, semistructured interviews …
Factors Associated With Variation in Estimates of the Cost of Resistant Infections
BACKGROUND: Existing estimates of the costs of antimicrobial resistance exhibit broad variability, and the contributing factors are not well understood. This study examines factors that contribute to variation in these estimates. METHODS: Studies of the costs of resistant infections (1995-2009) were identified, abstracted, and stated in comparable terms (eg, converted to 2007 U.S. dollars). Linear regressions were conducted to assess how costs in…
CMS Changes in Reimbursement for HAIs: Setting A Research Agenda
BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) promulgated regulations commencing October 1, 2008, which deny payment for selected conditions occurring during the hospital stay and are not present on admission. Three of the 10 hospital-acquired conditions covered by the new CMS policy involve healthcare-associated infections, which are a common, expensive, and often preventable cause of inpatient morbidity and mortality. OBJECTI…
Nurse Working Conditions and Patient Safety Outcomes
BACKGROUND: System approaches, such as improving working conditions, have been advocated to improve patient safety. However, the independent effect of many working condition variables on patient outcomes is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To examine effects of a comprehensive set of working conditions on elderly patient safety outcomes in intensive care units. DESIGN: Observational study, with patient outcome data collected using the National Nosocomial Infe…
Comparison of Nurse, System and Quality Patient Care Outcomes in 8-Hour and 12-Hour Shifts
BACKGROUND: Many nurses desire 12-hour shifts. However, there are concerns about implementation. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the effects of 8- and 12-hour shifts on nurse, system, and quality patient care outcomes. METHODS: We used a cross-sectional design with data collected from multiple sources in 2003-2004, including a nurse survey and administrative and patient records. We studied hospital nurses and patients in general adult wards, with…
