JAMA
|October 5, 1984
Resumen
Un programa piloto de Massachusetts encontró altas tasas de uso inapropiado en el laboratorio del hospital y los servicios cardíacos. Muchos hospitales implementaron planes de acción correctiva después de revisar los datos, lo que llevó a una revisión en todo el estado.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Servicios de salud Servicios de salud Investigación Investigación.
- Administración del hospital Administración del hospital
- Economía médica La economía médica.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los servicios auxiliares son un componente importante de los costos hospitalarios.
- Las variaciones en la utilización de servicios auxiliares pueden indicar potenciales ineficiencias o uso excesivo.
- Se necesitan mecanismos de revisión efectivos para garantizar una asignación adecuada de los recursos de atención médica.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar un programa piloto para la revisión de los servicios auxiliares en los hospitales de Massachusetts.
- Identificar patrones de uso inapropiado en los servicios de laboratorio y cardíacos.
- Evaluar el impacto de las revisiones basadas en datos en las prácticas hospitalarias.
Principales métodos:
- Implementación de un programa piloto en 25 hospitales de Massachusetts en 1982.
- Análisis de los datos de reclamaciones hospitalarias para desarrollar modelos estadísticos de uso auxiliar.
- Revisión clínica de los hospitales identificados por los modelos que tienen un uso auxiliar sustancialmente mayor.
Principales resultados:
- Tres de los cuatro hospitales revisados mostraron más del 30% de uso inapropiado de pruebas de laboratorio seleccionadas.
- Tres hospitales demostraron más del 30% de uso inadecuado de servicios cardíacos seleccionados.
- Aproximadamente el 20% de uso inapropiado se encontró en otros hospitales para pruebas de laboratorio, y el 16% para servicios cardíacos.
Conclusiones:

01:30Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

01:21Pilot and Numeric Relaying
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:
