Decreasing Function01:27

Decreasing Function

220
A decreasing function describes a relationship where the output consistently declines as the input increases. This means that for any two input values, if one is greater than the other, the corresponding output is smaller. Mathematically, a function f is decreasing on an interval I if for every x1 < x2​ in I, f (x1) > f (x2). This type of behavior is visually identified on a graph that slopes downward from left to right.The nature of a function can be analyzed by calculating...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.0K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Decreased pulse rate01:14

Decreased pulse rate

855
Bradycardia is a medical condition in which the heart rate is slower than normal. It occurs when the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinus node, generates slower electrical impulses than the standard rhythm. In adults, bradycardia is diagnosed when the pulse rate falls below 60 beats per minute, indicating a deviation from the normal heart rate range.
There are specific risk factors that can elevate the likelihood of developing bradycardia. Advanced age is a significant factor, with...

Measurement: Standard Units03:38

Measurement: Standard Units

78.5K
Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Measurement: Derived Units

54.4K
The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

Motor Units00:46

Motor Units

61.8K
A motor unit consists of two main components: a single efferent motor neuron (i.e., a neuron that carries impulses away from the central nervous system) and all of the muscle fibers it innervates. The motor neuron may innervate multiple muscle fibers, which are single cells, but only one motor neuron innervates a single muscle fiber.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • No national standards exist for time to chemotherapy (TTC).
  • Delays in TTC negatively impact patient care and resource utilization.
  • Baseline mean TTC was 12.1 hours and mean length of stay (LOS) was 5.45 days.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To improve time to chemotherapy (TTC) by 10% over 6 months.
  • To reduce length of stay (LOS) in oncology patients.
  • To implement and evaluate quality improvement (QI) strategies for chemotherapy processes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a multidisciplinary team and Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles for QI.
  • Implemented changes to the chemotherapy consent process.
  • Shifted pharmacist review of chemotherapy orders to pre-admission.

Main Results:

  • Mean TTC improved to 9.3 hours after the first PDSA cycle (consent process change).
  • Mean TTC remained at 9.4 hours after the second PDSA cycle (pre-admission pharmacist review), representing a 22% net improvement from baseline.
  • Mean LOS improved to 4.33 days, a 21% net improvement.

Conclusions:

  • The QI project successfully surpassed the 10% improvement goal for TTC.
  • Multidisciplinary teams and QI tools are effective in addressing delays in oncologic care.
  • Further guidance is needed for institutions to standardize and improve TTC.
