Preventability of early readmissions at a children's hospital.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether pediatric readmissions within 15 days of discharge were considered preventable. METHODS Retrospective chart review of 200 randomly selected readmissions (8% of all readmissions) occurring within 15 days of discharge from a freestanding children's hospital between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2008. The degree of preventability was assessed independently for ...
متن کاملSolving the Readmissions Puzzle: How Do Variability and Preventability Fit?
Since October 1, 2012, the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program, established by the Affordable Care Act, has imposed financial penalties on hospitals with high readmission rates for targeted conditions covered by Medicare. This program has led to reductions in readmissions even for conditions that were not initially targeted for such penalties.1 Although this program has almost exclusively ta...
متن کاملVerifying Formal Specifications Using Fault Tree Analysis∗
Specification before implementation has been suggested as a sensible approach to software evolution. The quality of this approach may be improved by using formal specification. However, to serve as a trustable foundation for implementation and to help reduce the cost in program testing, the formal specification must be ensured to be satisfiable, consistent, complete, and accurate in recording t...
متن کاملInstitutional Repository System fault diagnostics using fault tree analysis
Over the last 50 years advances in technology have led to an increase in the complexity and sophistication of systems. More complex systems can be harder to maintain and the root cause of a fault more difficult to isolate. Down-time resulting from a system failure can be dangerous or expensive depending on the type of system. In aircraft systems the ability to quickly diagnose the causes of a f...
متن کاملDynamic Safety Analysis CNG Stations Using Fault Tree Approach and Bayesian Network
Introduction: The safety of CNG stations is important because of their location in urban areas, as well as to prevent accidents and to protect the safety of personnel, property, and environment. An event occurrence analysis with probability updating is the key to dynamic safety analysis. Methods and materials: In this study, the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) technique was used to d...
