Hospitals-II

1.2K
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...

Streamlines, Streaklines, and Pathlines01:18

Streamlines, Streaklines, and Pathlines

1.9K
A streamline represents the trajectory that is always tangent to the fluid's velocity vector at any given point. The velocity of a fluid particle is always directed along the streamline, ensuring the particle continuously follows the streamline's path. Streamlines are particularly useful for visualizing the overall direction of flow in a fluid system, and they provide an instantaneous representation of the flow's velocity field. In steady flow, where conditions do not change over...

Bernoulli's Equation for Flow Along a Streamline01:30

Bernoulli's Equation for Flow Along a Streamline

1.5K
Bernoulli's equation relates the energy conservation in a fluid moving along a streamline. The equation applies to incompressible and inviscid fluids under steady flow. For such a flow, Newton's second law is applied to a small fluid element, which experiences forces due to pressure differences, gravity, and velocity variations. The force balance leads to the following form of Bernoulli's equation:

Bernoulli's Equation for Flow Normal to a Streamline01:16

Bernoulli's Equation for Flow Normal to a Streamline

1.3K
Bernoulli's equation for flow normal to a streamline explains how pressure varies across curved streamlines due to the outward centrifugal forces induced by the fluid's curvature. The pressure is higher on the inner side of the curve, near the center of curvature, and decreases outward to balance these centrifugal forces.
The pressure difference depends on the fluid's velocity and radius of curvature. The pressure variation is minimal in flows with nearly straight streamlines. However, the...

Improving Translational Accuracy02:07

Improving Translational Accuracy

Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Hospital Administration
  • Process Improvement

Background:

  • Hospital admission processes often suffer from administrative inefficiencies.
  • Media breaks and missing information contribute to delays and extra work.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify shortcomings in hospital admission workflows across different hospital sizes.
  • To propose and evaluate IT-based solutions for improving the admission process.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 9 admission workflows from three Swiss hospitals (normal and emergency admissions).
  • Identification of 22 common shortcomings, with a focus on administrative issues and media breaks.
  • Development and cost-benefit analysis of five potential IT-based workflow changes.

Main Results:

  • A significant number of identified shortcomings were linked to missing information, causing time-consuming extra work.
  • A concept for an open, multi-center hospital admission portal was drafted.
  • The proposed portal concept theoretically addresses 8 out of 22 identified problems.

Conclusions:

  • IT-based solutions, such as a multi-center admission portal, can address key inefficiencies in hospital admissions.
  • A portal facilitating direct interaction between referring doctors, patients, and hospital staff shows promise for improving workflow.
  • Streamlining administrative admission processes is crucial for enhancing hospital efficiency and patient care.
