Continuing Care

2.0K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Ostomy Care

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • High demand for outpatient spinal appointments strains healthcare services.
  • Current practice requests spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after initial consultation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if primary care referral letters accurately predict the need for spinal MRI.
  • To assess the potential for streamlining the patient journey through early MRI requests.

Main Methods:

  • Three spinal surgeons evaluated referral letters for MRI likelihood.
  • Patient notes were reviewed post-consultation to confirm MRI requests.
  • Positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), sensitivity, and specificity were calculated.

Main Results:

  • The study included 149 patients (101 female, 48 male; mean age 49).
  • Pre-consultation MRI ordering showed a PPV of 84% and NPV of 56%.
  • Sensitivity was 82% and specificity was 59% for early MRI requests.

Conclusions:

  • Primary care referral letters can reliably guide early MRI ordering for spinal conditions.
  • Early MRI requests can shorten patient waiting times and improve care delivery.
  • Streamlining MRI requests offers potential socioeconomic benefits and cost savings.
