SBAR II: Application of SBAR01:14

SBAR II: Application of SBAR

SBAR is an effective communication tool used by healthcare professionals to communicate patient information accurately. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. For a better understanding, an example is given below.
SBAR Report from a Nurse to a Health Care Provider
S: "Hello, Dr. Smith. This is Jane, RN, from the Med Surg unit. I am calling to tell you about Ms. White in Room 210, who is experiencing increased pain and redness at her incision site. Her recent...
Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...
Psychosurgery01:30

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...
Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when researchers try to extrapolate results...
Ethical Issues01:27

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Summary

UK cardiac surgeons

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Medical Transparency

Background:

  • Individual performance indicators for UK cardiac surgeons were first published in 2004.
  • Subsequent data in 2009 showed significant decreases in mortality rates, suggesting a positive impact of performance data publication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the evolving attitudes of UK cardiac surgeons towards individual performance tables.
  • To understand surgeon perspectives on the impact of performance data on patient management.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire-based survey was distributed to UK cardiac surgeons in 2005 and 2009.
  • The survey explored surgeons' views on the introduction and implications of performance tables.

Main Results:

Published on: May 6, 2020

  • Initially, 68.8% of surgeons opposed performance tables, but support increased significantly to 48.5% by 2009.
  • Fewer surgeons believed they would avoid high-risk patients after performance data publication (P=0.0001).

Conclusions:

  • Surgeon attitudes towards performance tables shifted positively over four years, possibly due to audit system acclimatization or increased transparency.
  • Findings offer insights for implementing similar performance indicators in other regions.
