Interventions to reduce urinary catheter use: it worked for them, but will it work for us?
To cite: Meddings J. BMJ Qual Saf 2013;22:967–971. In most hospitals, four steps are required to remove a urinary catheter: the physician recognises the patient has a catheter in place; the physician realises the catheter is no longer necessary; the order is written to remove the catheter; and the nurse removes the catheter. Interventions to prompt removal of unnecessary urinary catheters by ex...
متن کاملPrioritizing policy interventions to improve diets? Will it work, can it happen, will it do harm?
Policies from non-health sectors have considerable impacts on the food environment and in turn on population nutrition. Health impact assessment (HIA) methods have been developed to identify the potential health effects of non-health policies; however, they are underused both within and outside the health sector. HIA and other assessment methods and tools can be used more extensively in health ...
متن کاملSystems biology: will it work?
Systems biology describes the collection of a set of measurements on a system, integrated with a mathematical model of that system. The model and the measurements must be made together and refined iteratively, requiring close collaboration between biologists and modellers. A complete cell is probably too large and complicated to model yet, but simplified subsystems will probably produce valuabl...
متن کاملExplanation in Probabilistic Systems: Is It Feasible? Will It Work?
Reasoning within such domains as engineering, science, management, or medicine is traditionally based on formal methods employing probabilistic treatment of uncertainty. It seems natural to base artificial reasoning systems in these domains on the normative foundations of probability theory. Two usual objections to this approach are (1) probabilistic inference is computationally intractable in ...
متن کاملUse it or lose it! But use it wisely.
reasons to fit hearing aids bilaterally: better sound localization and better speech understanding in background noise. To be sure, some elderly persons may do better when fitted monaurally, perhaps due to an age-related interaural interference effect, but these two principal advantages of bilateral fittings have been demonstrated many times over in the majority of hearing aid users. In this is...
