Evaluation of effectiveness of a computerized notification system for reporting critical values.
Failure to adequately communicate a critical laboratory value is a potential cause of adverse events. Accreditation requirements specify that clinical laboratories must undertake assessments and appropriate measures to improve the timeliness of critical value reporting and prompt receipt by the responsible caregiver. Documentation and communication processes must be regularly monitored and impl...
متن کاملCritical findings: timing of notification in neuroradiology.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Timely reporting of critical findings in radiology has been identified by The Joint Commission as one of the National Patient Safety Goals. Our aim was to determine the magnitude of delays between identifying a neuroradiologic critical finding and verbally notifying the caregiver in an effort to improve clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We surveyed the time of cr...
متن کاملEnhanced notification of critical ventilator events.
Mechanical ventilators are designed to generate alarms when patients become disconnected or experience other critical ventilator events. However, these alarms can blend in with other accustomed sounds of the intensive care unit. Ventilator alarms that go unnoticed for extended periods of time often result in permanent patient harm or death. We developed a system to monitor critical ventilator e...
متن کاملEffect of urgent clinician notification of low hemoglobin values.
BACKGROUND Urgent clinician notification of low hemoglobin values is a common practice. The effect of such notification for samples obtained during an office visit is uncertain. METHODS We notified the attending physicians in 100 consecutive cases of outpatients with hemoglobin <80 g/L. We reviewed the medical charts of these patients with their personal physicians 1-2 months later. We consid...
متن کاملA Critical Assessment of Simulated Critical Values
There is a wide variety of statistical problems (e.g., unit root and cointegration tests) where hypothesis testing involves the use of simulated rather than theoretical critical values. We argue that in practice the number of replications used to simulate critical values is often insufficient to provide the degree of precision that is implied. In particular, the number of replications needed is...
