US Growth in PCI Care—Less than Ideal, but is the Ideal Less?

US Growth in PCI Care—Less than Ideal, but is the Ideal Less?

A n ideal healthcare system aims to provide care that is safe, effective, efficient, equitable, timely and patientcentered. Translation of these aims into practice for patients suffering from ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) could result in an ideal primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) system of care. In this ideal PCI system of care, PCI centers would be equitably distrib...

[Can outstanding research be done under less than ideal conditions?].

Great scientific discoveries rarely originate from small and poor countries. However, the lives and achievements of three Yugoslav scientists who were active in the biomedical sciences, Laza K. Lazarević (1851-1891), Ivan Djaja (1884-1957), and Pavao Stern (1913-1976), serve as an example of success in this environment. These scientists, as well as the majority of other successful investigators...

When every $P$-flat ideal is flat

In this paper‎, ‎we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat‎ ‎ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎Von Neumann regular rings‎, ‎hereditary rings‎, ‎semi-hereditary ring‎, ‎PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In the context domain‎, ‎this notion coincide with‎ ‎Pr"{u}fer domain‎. ‎We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for‎...

Plans to accelerate innovation in health systems are less than IDEAL

To cite: Wilson PM, Boaden R, Harvey G. BMJ Qual Saf 2016;25:572–576. THE DRIVE FOR INNOVATION Across health systems there is a drive to roll out innovative models of care that will deliver better value for money and improve the quality of care. Innovation in service delivery has been defined as ‘a novel set of behaviours, routines, and ways of working that are discontinuous from previous pract...
