Twenty-six of the articles were reviewed for usefulness, and seventeen reviewed for implementation. Key effectiveness outcomes included variable of adult and non-ICU pediatric Cardiopulmonary arrest, along with adult and pediatric hospital mortality (Winters et al., 2013). Research of RRS could be quantitative or qualitative. Language, or country were not factors in this systemic review. A calculated estimate risk ratio, the associated SE, and its logarithm were taken from each study (Winters et al., 2013).
This criteria was that the patient would be admitted into the medical intensive care unit and be intubated for more than 48 hours in order to be eligible.

At Hospital XYZ, during the morning period of 8am to noon, the wait time from when a physician orders an X-ray to the time the patient returns from having it done is too long as this is when most of the X-Ray orders are given and there is a backlog of patients. During a process mapping exercise, it is determined that a large number of orders given during this time were "catch all" orders, where the physicians are ordering them just to be on the safe side. In order to fix this problem and not the symptom, the hospital should: Complete in-service training about the "catch all" orders 5. Workflow and process mapping should occur in the middle to late planning stages of an EHR implementation because you will have figured out all of your "bugs" by then.
Assignment 2 Mark Cahen Dr. Dana Moretz HSA Managerial Epidemiology January 30, 2011 What differences did you find between the “Current Industry Values” data that you researched and the values reported in Table 5.5 for each of the 12 Inpatient Quality Indicators you selected to use in your study? The information I found seemed to be right around the same consistency as the indicated data on table 5.5. The information reported in the Table for comparison is utilized from a low volume hospital of 200 beds. The differences that will be reported are inherent that they are just that made up, for the study purposes however, I would say that the rates within the second graph show low rates in comparison to the volume in the hospital

Systems Structure Overview Audra Kowalski HCS/533 July 6, 2015 Dr. Lett Systems Structure Overview This 525 to 700 word summary relates to a chosen system structure within a hospital setting. In the summary a description will be provided about the system structure and the reason it was chosen. It will explain how this structure is applicable to a work area related to me showing the benefits and negative aspects. The material used will be given through at least three peer-reviewed references, not including the text book used in this course. Description and Reason Interoperable electronic health records (EHRs) is the health records structure chosen for this paper.
Part B is optional and may be deferred if the beneficiary or his/her spouse is still working. Part B coverage begins once a patient meets his or her deductible. Normally, Medicare covers 80% of services that are approved and the remaining 20% is paid by the patient. Part B coverage includes physician and nursing services, x-rays, laboratory and diagnostic tests, chemotherapy, hormonal treatments such as Lupron, and other outpatient medical treatments administered in a doctor's office. Medication administration is also covered under Part B if it is administered by the physician during an office visit.
