Hospitals-I01:28

Hospitals-I

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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Hospitals-II

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.
Nurses that work in hospitals have...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Cardiac Catheterization II: Right Heart Catheterization

Right Heart Catheterization: An OverviewRight heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that measures right-sided cardiac and pulmonary artery pressures, calculates cardiac output, and identifies intracardiac shunts. It provides detailed hemodynamic data essential for diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension.Access SitesCommon access sites for right heart catheterization include the internal jugular vein in the neck region, the...
Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care01:29

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Summary

Socioeconomic and geographic disparities persist in major cardiovascular procedure mortality, even after accounting for patient health and hospital factors. These inequities highlight the need to address social determinants and internal hospital practices.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Health Services Research
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Significant disparities in healthcare outcomes exist based on socioeconomic status and geographic location.
  • Understanding the drivers of these disparities after major cardiovascular procedures is crucial for improving patient care and reducing inequities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether income and geography influence in-hospital mortality rates following major cardiovascular procedures.
  • To determine if these disparities are attributable to differences in patient acuity, hospital characteristics, or internal hospital inequities.

Main Methods:

  • Observational study analyzing national data from 2016-2022 on eight major cardiovascular procedures.
  • Multivariable logistic regression was used, adjusting for demographics, clinical severity (APR-DRG scores), and hospital characteristics.
  • Patient income was proxied by ZIP code median household income, and geography was categorized as large metropolitan, smaller metropolitan, or non-metropolitan.

Main Results:

  • Lowest-income patients had higher baseline clinical severity scores.
  • After full adjustment, in-hospital mortality was significantly higher for lowest-income patients (0.67% points).
  • Non-metropolitan and smaller metropolitan locations showed trends toward higher mortality, with smaller metropolitan areas reaching statistical significance (1.03% points).

Conclusions:

  • Socioeconomic and geographic disparities in mortality after major cardiovascular procedures persist even after adjusting for clinical and hospital factors.
  • These findings suggest that hospital-level differences alone do not fully explain the observed inequities.
  • Interventions must address both social determinants of health and intra-hospital inequities to reduce disparities.
