Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications

2.4K
For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Health Informatics
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Home-based palliative care is expanding, but standardized symptom assessment tools are lacking.
  • Effective symptom management is crucial for improving patient quality of life in palliative care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) into an electronic health record (EHR) within a home-based palliative care program.
  • To track symptom severity and healthcare utilization data to evaluate the impact of ESAS integration.

Main Methods:

  • A quality improvement project involving 35 patients in a home-based palliative care program.
  • Baseline data collection on symptom presence, severity, hospital utilization, and readmissions.
  • Implementation of ESAS within the EHR to monitor symptom changes over a 3-month period.

Main Results:

  • The most common symptoms reported were tiredness, pain, and lack of overall well-being.
  • Severe symptoms (≥6/10) included pain, drowsiness, and anxiety.
  • Seventy-seven percent of symptoms assessed via ESAS showed improvement.
  • Hospitalization rates decreased from 4.2% to 2.6%, and 30-day readmissions reduced from 15% to 0%.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating ESAS into EHRs can effectively improve symptom management in home-based palliative care.
  • This intervention may lead to reduced hospital utilization and readmissions.
  • The findings support the use of standardized symptom assessment tools in home palliative care for better patient outcomes.
