Strategies to Reduce Hospital-Acquired Conditions

Littleson, Steven G 01 January 2019 (has links)
Hospital-acquired conditions cause harm to patients and increase mortality. In addition to lowering the quality of patient care, hospital-acquired conditions also negatively affect financial performance, which makes them a business problem for hospital administrators. The purpose of this single case study, which was grounded in the theory of high reliability, was to explore strategies used to reduce the number of hospital-acquired conditions. The sample consisted of 13 senior leaders of a large academic medical center in the southeastern United States, who shared successful strategies used to reduce hospital-acquired conditions. Data collection took place through semistructured interviews and a review of plans and reports that showed rates of hospital-acquired conditions from 2014 to 2017. Data analysis involved using Yin's 5-step process as well as coding interview text and data from documents and then grouping related words to develop themes. Themes that emerged from this study included leadership style, communication practices, and trust. A key finding was the importance of positive and trusting leadership behaviors by senior leaders planning to reduce hospital-acquired conditions. Another key finding was the confirmation that hospital administrators can and should prioritize quality and financial improvement simultaneously. The implications of this study for positive social change include the potential to reduce health care costs and save patients' lives by reducing the number of hospital-acquired conditions.

Custeio baseado em atividades - ABC: uma aplicação em uma organização hospitalar universitária / Activity based costing - ABC: a study applied to a school-hospital

Botelho, Ernani Mendes 18 September 2006 (has links)
O desenvolvimento do Sistema ABC (Activity-Based Costing/Sistema de Custeio Baseado em Atividades) e sua aplicação em organizações industriais apresentou-se como uma importante ferramenta no processo de gerenciamento das organizações. A viabilidade deste sistema em organizações industriais e a carência de um sistema que apoiasse o processo de gerenciamento em organizações hospitalares despertaram, na área acadêmica, o desenvolvimento de trabalhos científicos que objetivam discutir a viabilidade da aplicação deste sistema também nas organizações hospitalares. A pesquisa bibliográfica deste trabalho demonstrou a existência de muitos trabalhos acadêmicos abordando a aplicação deste sistema em organizações hospitalares, sendo, no entanto, que todos estes abordam a aplicação em setores isolados. Visando ampliar a discussão a respeito deste tema, procurando discutir como seria a aplicação do mesmo sistema em uma organização hospitalar como um todo, este trabalho teve como objetivo geral delinear um modelo a partir da identificação e integração de dados, baseado na concepção do sistema ABC, que seja aplicável às organizações hospitalares. Para atingir este objetivo, foi aplicado um estudo empírico no Hospital Universitário Clemente de Faria em todos os seus setores e clínicas. Os resultados revelaram que o Sistema ABC pode ser aplicado em qualquer tipo de organização hospitalar, seja esta pública, privada ou filantrópica, devendo-se apenas realizar algumas adaptações conforme as características de cada organização. / The viability of the ABC System (Activity-Based Costing) in industrial organizations has led to the academic area to investigate the viability of the application of this system also in hospital organizations. However the studies developed in Hospitals approach the application of this system in isolated sections. Enlarging the discussion concerning to this topic, this work had the purpose of delineating a model starting from the identification and integration of data basing on the conception of ABC system that would be applicable to hospital organizations in a generalized way. In order to reach to this objective, an empirical study was developed in all sections of the Hospital Universitário Clemente de Faria. With the study it was possible to delineate a model applicable to the studied institution. It is understood that this model is applicable to any kind of organization - public, private or philanthropic -, provided that some adaptations are done according to the characteristics of each organization.

Att vara "container" för patienten : En studie om hur sjukhuskuratorer upplever att de påverkas av det patientnära arbetet / Being a "container" for the patient : A study how hospital social workers feel they are affected by the patient-care

Eriksson, Oskar, Holmstedt, Markus January 2015 (has links)
Sjukhuskuratorer har samtal med patienter som lider till exempel av depression, ångest eller andra besvär orsakade av psykosociala faktorer så som stress, livskriser eller alkohol. I denna studie ställdes frågan vilka effekter det patientnära arbetet kan ha för sjukhuskuratorn. Syftet var att utifrån ett emotionsteoretiskt perspektiv undersöka hur sjukhuskuratorer upplever att de påverkas av det patientnära arbetet. I studien ställdes frågan vad sjukhuskuratorer upplever att det patientnära arbetet har för effekter för dem själva och hur sjukhuskuratorer hanterar det som uppkommer i det patientnära arbetet. Tidigare forskning har visat att andra yrkesgrupper på området, exempelvis sjuksköterskor och terapeuter i allmänhet, påverkas av att använda ett härbärgerande förhållningsätt. I denna studie intervjuades fyra sjukhuskuratorer om deras tankar och känslor kring arbetets effekter. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av Hochschilds begrepp emotionellt lönearbete och Goffmans begrepp om främre och bakre region. Resultatet visar att det patientnära arbetet hade effekter. Sjukhuskuratorerna tog med sig tankar och känslor från det patientnära arbetet i den främre till den bakre regionen. Sjukhuskuratorerna hanterade det som uppkommit i det patientnära arbetet vid samtal med kollegor och handledning och när de fick stunder för sig själva. Samtliga sjukhuskuratorer ansåg att det patientnära arbetet har gjort dem mindre sociala, samt att det skapat ett behov av ensamhet och självreflektion. / Hospital social workers have patients suffering from a range of symptoms, amongst these are depression, distress or other disorders caused by psychosocial factors, such as stress, a life crisis or alcohol. In this study the question was asked what effects the patient-care can have for the hospital social worker. The purpose of this research study was to examine from the perspective of emotion theory, how hospital social workers felt they were affected by the patient-care. Our research questions were what effects the hospital social workers see that the patient-care have for themselves, and how the hospital social workers deal with what emerges from the patient-care. Earlier research has shown that other occupational groups, such as nurses and therapists in general, are affected by harbouring what arises in the patient-care. Four interviews with hospital social workers conducted about their thoughts and feelings on the effects of the job. The result has been analyzed with Hochschild’s notion of emotional labour and Goffman’s concepts front stage and back stage. The results show that the job does affect the worker. The hospital workers harbour thoughts and feelings that emerge in the patient-care on the front stage, until they are able to deal with it in different regions on the back stage through colleges, guidance and by themselves. All of our interviewed hospital social workers deemed that they had become less social due to the nature of the patient care. In addition they also thought that it had created a need of seclusion and self-reflection.
