Not Running a Hospital: Painfully slow

You can already imagine the responses. "That's just in North Carolina." "Our patients are sicker." "There are problems with the data."
What would prompt that? This New York Times article, citing a forthcoming NEJM study about medical errors in North Carolina. Here's the lede:
Efforts to make hospitals safer for patients are falling short, researchers report in the first large study in a decade to analyze harm from medical care and to track it over time.

The study, conducted from 2002 to 2007 in 10 North Carolina hospitals, found that harm to patients was common and that the number of incidents did not decrease over time. The most common problems were complications from procedures or drugs and hospital-acquired infections.

Hospital Acquired Infections Becomes A Leading Cause In Patient Deaths | OneMedPlace

Patients today are between a rock and a hard place because when they get sick a hospital may be the last place they want to go. Hospital Acquired Infections, also known as Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are the 4th leading cause of patient deaths, killing 270 people per day in the USA. Recently the Federal Government and Payers are implementing incentives and penalties on hospitals that are not doing all they can to reduce HAIs.

HAIs are defined as infections not present and without evidence of incubation at the time of admission to a health care setting. Within hours after admission, a patient’s flora begins to acquire characteristics of the surrounding bacterial pool. Most infections that become clinically evident after 48 hours of hospitalization are considered hospital-acquired. Infections that occur after the patient is discharged from the hospital can be considered healthcare-associated if the organisms were acquired during the hospital stay. There have been several cases of patients going into the hospital for minor surgeries and coming out in coffins, yet limited media coverage has been devoted to this area of concern.

Healthcare-associated infections can be localized or systemic, can involve any system of the body, be associated with medical devices or blood product transfusions. Three major sites of healthcare-associated infections are bloodstream infection, pneumonia, and urinary tract infection. HAIs result in excess length of stay, mortality and healthcare costs. In 2002, an estimated 1.7 million healthcare-associated infections occurred in the United States, resulting in 99,000 deaths. In March 2009, the CDC released a report estimating overall annual direct medical costs of healthcare-associated infections that ranged from $28-45 billion.

Admitting harm protects patients - Sunday, March 27, 2011 | 2 a.m. - Las Vegas Sun

As Nevada legislators debate this week whether to require hospitals to publicly report when they harm patients, they could learn a lot from Paul Levy’s experience in pulling back the veil of hospital secrecy.

Levy became a revolutionary figure in medicine when, as CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess — then the weak sibling among Harvard University’s teaching hospitals — he began blogging about injuries and infections suffered by his hospital’s patients. His competitors eventually followed suit and now, with Massachusetts law imposing transparency, they acknowledge openness has brought greater accountability and a more focused commitment to protecting patients.

“It’s not just fear of public embarrassment” that drives the improvements, said Dr. Ken Sands, chairman of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s health care quality department. “It’s an easy way to show something is a priority and is deserving of attention.”

Hospitals Could Save Millions By Eliminating Five Hospital-Acquired Conditions

An average 200-bed hospital could save approximately $2 million annually if it eliminates common but high-cost hospital-acquired conditions among inpatients, according to the Healthcare Management Council, Inc. (HMC), a Needham, MA-based company focusing on hospital and healthcare performance improvement.

The information was compiled using federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) indicators and recent proprietary cost-benchmarking information, according to Shelley Burns, HMC's director of knowledge management. HMC has reviewed the performance of hundreds of facilities ranging in size from 75 beds to more than 800 beds.

"The cost of quality is what we call it, but bringing that number [together] for our folks to see lets us align the financial side of the house and the clinical side of the house so they can work together [on this issue]," Burns says

7 Tests You're Not Having That Could Save Your Life

Your physician has you come in to his office and run on a treadmill while you're hooked up to an EKG. For the next 8 to 12 minutes, he'll evaluate your heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure as the intensity of the workout increases. When the stress test is over, he'll tell you whether you have coronary artery disease.
Here's news that might make your heart skip a beat: For women, there's a 35% chance the test results will be wrong.
Most often, the test reveals false positives, meaning healthy women are told they have heart disease. Less frequently but obviously far more dangerous is when the test fails to detect clogged arteries that could, in fact, cause a heart attack. Fewer men are misdiagnosed.

PT Perspective: Heart Disease in Women - Overshadowed and Understated|putmebacktogether.com

It’s good to be informed. As PTs, I’d add that it’s our responsibility to inform ourselves then to pass on the information to patients. I’ve come across many women, patients, and co-workers who recognize the dangers of breast cancer and the necessity of research to cure it.

Clearly, breast cancer is serious business and the stats are grim. The lifetime prevalence: 1 in 8; number of deaths per year: 40,000.

But consider this. Lung cancer claims 70,000 women a year which is more than breast, ovarian and uterine cancers combined. Of those diagnosed with lung cancer, only 1 in 8 survives. The public consciousness seems misinformed on this.

Heart disease is another poorly understood killer. Every year, heart disease claims the lives of 500,000 women. That’s 1000% more deaths than breast cancer. People seem to think breast cancer is the biggest monster out there gobbling up women’s lives while the real boogey man disease lives in virtual anonymity.

Why does this happen? Why would such a big problem get such short shrift? Part of the problem is the stereotype that only type A men get heart attacks. The fact is heart disease doesn’t dabble in gender politics. Whether you’re from Venus or Mars, the odds are pretty even.

If you’re a woman, your sirens should be ringing (blaring stridently; in fact), particularly if you have a family history, like to wash down your corn-fed Angus cuts with a keg of beer, and exercise by walking from the couch to the kitchen during commercial breaks. If this describes you or your patients, beware, but don’t despair.

Giving up leads to paralysis and paralysis doesn’t help. What does help is information (keeping in mind that the step after information is informed action). Unlike breast cancer which is largely genetic and difficult to prevent (if such as word even applies), heart disease responds to the following life-saving changes:

Smoking cessation

A well-balanced diet, low in saturated and trans fat

Regular exercise

Weight loss

Stress reduction

Social support

Decreased alcohol consumption

Those who campaign against breast cancer do a wonderful job of raising awareness about a terrible disease. We should applaud these efforts and replicate them with heart disease, spreading the word the way rumors spread in the girl’s middle school bathrooms across America. First whispered conspiratorially, the message gets passed on via three very simple words: “Pass it on!”

A Push to Ban Soda Purchases With Food Stamps - NYTimes.com

A Push to Ban Soda Purchases With Food Stamps - NYTimes.com:"Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg sought federal permission on Wednesday to bar New York City’s 1.7 million recipients of food stamps from using them to buy soda or other sugared drinks. "The request, made to the United States Department of Agriculture, which finances and sets the rules for the food-stamp program, is part of an aggressive anti-obesity push by the mayor that has also included advertisements, stricter rules on food sold in schools and an unsuccessful attempt to have the state impose a tax on the sugared drinks."

About Morbid Obesity, Definition and Medical Impact:"A clear definition of morbid obesity is very important, because this definition is used to guide physicians in selection of therapy for people who are overweight. Basically, one is morbidly obese when he or she is so heavy that the fat tissue load creates (or predictably will create) other medical problems. Roughly, individuals are usually morbidly obese if their weight is more that 100 pounds in excess of the Ideal Body Weight (IBW). However a more exact (and more widely accepted) way to define morbid obesity is to use the Body Mass Index (BMI)."

California, What is Morbid Obesity? Alvarado Bariatric Surgeons:"Medically, the word "morbid" means causing disease or injury. Morbid Obesity is a serious disease process, in which the accumulation of fatty tissue on the body becomes excessive, and interferes with, or injures the other bodily organs, causing serious and life-threatening health problems, which are called co-morbidities. Morbid Obesity is also called Clinically Severe Obesity, and is recognized by the consensus of medical opinion as a serious problem, a disease process. In most cases, the underlying cause is genetic -- you inherit the tendency to gain weight, and once the problem is established, there is very little that will power can do about it -- any more than a diabetic can control his blood sugar by will power."
