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.

Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are...

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...

Cardiovascular Drugs: Classification based on Therapeutic Indications

4.2K
Cardiovascular diseases, encompassing a range of conditions, can significantly affect the heart's operations and the overall circulatory system. These conditions impair the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to a deficit in oxygen supply to crucial organs. Anomalies in the heart's electrical system, known as arrhythmias, can cause heartbeats to accelerate or slow down. Usually, heart rates increase during physical activity and decrease while resting or sleeping. However,...

Quality Control01:05

Quality Control

2.5K
Quality control is one of the three cyclical quality assurance activities that help keep a system under statistical control. Typical quality control activities include creating quality control charts, conducting proficiency testing, and documenting and archiving results.
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...

Quality Assurance01:19

Quality Assurance

2.2K
Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Healthcare Quality
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Defining quality indicators in general hospital psychiatry is crucial for improving patient care.
  • Existing quality measures may not fully capture the perspectives of all stakeholders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish generic quality indicators for general hospital psychiatry.
  • To integrate the perspectives of patients, healthcare professionals, and payers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review to identify quality variables.
  • Formation of a multi-stakeholder working group (patients, professionals, payers).
  • Prioritization of variables, definition of core values, and development of preliminary indicators, followed by feasibility testing and stakeholder consultation.

Main Results:

  • Identification of 41 quality variables from literature.
  • Definition of 7 core values and 22 preliminary indicators.
  • Feasibility study demonstrated high relevance and implementability, leading to a final set of 22 quality indicators (17 structure, 3 process, 2 outcome).

Conclusions:

  • A consensus-based quality framework for general hospital psychiatry was achieved.
  • The final set of quality indicators has broad support and good implementability.
  • These generic indicators can enhance quality assessment, standardize services, and demonstrate cost-effectiveness.
