Hospital percutaneous coronary intervention volume and patient mortality, 1998 to 2000: does the evidence support current procedure volume minimums?
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) hospital percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) volume minimum recommendations. BACKGROUND In order to reduce procedure-associated mortality, ACC/AHA guidelines recommend that hospitals offering PCIs perform at least 400 PCIs annually. It is unclear whether this volum...
متن کاملDoes hospital coronary intervention volume matter in predicting mortality?
n the late 1990s, the Institute of Medicine pointed out that he health care system in the U.S. performs far below btainable levels of patient safety and overall values. It is stimated that 44,000 to 98,000 Americans die each year as result of medical errors.

متن کاملMaximum Load and Minimum Volume Structural Optimization
A bi-criteria optimization is considered whose objectives are the maximization of the load sustained by a structure and the minimization of the structure's volume. As the objectives are conflicting, the solution to the problem is of the Pareto type. The problem is elaborated for a thin-walled column of cruciform cross-section, prone to flexural and torsional buckling. A numerical example is als...
متن کاملMeasuring percutaneous coronary intervention quality by simple case volume.
Monitoring health care and developing metrics to gauge optimum systems from suboptimum ones is a multidimensional effort that spans the spectrum of health services research and administration. The quality assessment tools for operative procedures range from policies requiring measurement of general compliance within medical society guidelines, in terms of medical indications and procedural tech...
