Book Synopsis For Emergency Use Only by : Healthcare Intelligence Network
Download or read book For Emergency Use Only written by Healthcare Intelligence Network and published by . This book was released on 2006-12 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just teaching patients not to call their doctor at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon can reduce unnecessary emergency department (ED) utilization, a trend that is sapping the resources of EDs around the nation. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 55 percent of the 90 million visits to EDs in the United States in 1996 were unnecessary. In healthcare dollars, that means that 40.5 million people paid up to three times as much for routine care at the ED as they would have paid at a physicians office. Teaching timely access to outpatient care is just one tactic covered in this special report, which is based on an October 2006 audio conference sponsored by the Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN). For Emergency Use Only: Curbing Unnecessary Emergency Room Use Through Education, Accountability and Physician Engagement provides a blueprint for health plans, hospitals and providers desiring to address and reduce unnecessary ED utilization in their populations. In this 35-page special report, Roberta Burgess, clinical case manager, Community Care Plan of Eastern Carolina, and Gerald Kiplinger, vice president and executive director of the Georgia Enhanced Care program for APS Healthcare, detail how to target and reduce unnecessary and inappropriate ED use. You'll get details on initiatives and interventions for decreasing non-urgent ED use, mining data to target high-utilization, high-cost individuals, implementing an ED case management program, communicating proper ED use to targeted populations and enlisting physicians' support in care redirection and appropriate ED use.

Book Synopsis A Descriptive Analysis of Nonurgent Emergency Room Utilization at William Beaumont Army Medical Center by : Patrick A. Kuntz
Download or read book A Descriptive Analysis of Nonurgent Emergency Room Utilization at William Beaumont Army Medical Center written by Patrick A. Kuntz and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of this study was to determine the percentage of patients seen in the WBAMCER for conditions triaged as nonurgent during a seven-month period from June to December in 1998. Additionally, the study, utilizing pre-recorded data, desired to determine if 12 independent variables were associated with nonurgent utilization of the ER. The registered nurses on duty triaged a total of 2,173 patients that met inclusion criteria. A large number (n=1260, 58% of sample) were triage to level 4 (nonurgent). Patients triaged to level 3 (treat within 24 hours) accounted for 37.8% (n=821). The remaining level two (urgent) and level one (emergent) accounted for nearly equal percentages of the population at 2.3% (n=49) and 2.0% (n=43) respectively. The typical profile of ER utilization by frequency showed the greatest usage by female active duty dependents between the ages of 18-35 who are CHAMPUS eligible and enrolled in TRICARE Prime. This profile also depicts the typical user as someone who presents with a sprain or strain on a weekday during the hours of 0700-1500. This profile is further typified by a person or sponsor between the rank of E5 and E9 with no third party insurance, lived in zip code 79924 (6 miles from WBAMC) and released without limitation after being treated in the ER. This study strengthens and quantifies the long-standing belief among practitioners and administrators regarding the prevalence of nonurgent use in the ER at WBAMC. These nonurgent patients may be candidates for referral to a more appropriate level of care, typically primary care, without a significant risk for deterioration of their condition. Identifying and quantifying this population is the first step in shaping important organizational initiative aimed at self-care education, utilization of telephone advice and triage, and other out patient medical management programs.

Book Synopsis The SAGE Encyclopedia of World Poverty by : Mehmet Odekon
Download or read book The SAGE Encyclopedia of World Poverty written by Mehmet Odekon and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 2496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SAGE Encyclopedia of World Poverty, Second Edition addresses the persistence of poverty across the globe while updating and expanding the landmark work, Encyclopedia of World Poverty, originally published in 2006 prior to the economic calamities of 2008. For instance, while continued high rates of income inequality might be unsurprising in developing countries such as Mexico, the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reported in May 2013 even countries with historically low levels of income inequality have experienced significant increases over the past decade, including Denmark, Sweden, and Germany. The U.N. and the World Bank also emphasize the persistent nature of the problem. It is not all bad news. In March 2013, the Guardian newspaper reported, “Some of the poorest people in the world are becoming significantly less poor, according to a groundbreaking academic study which has taken a new approach to measuring deprivation. The report, by Oxford University’s poverty and human development initiative, predicts that countries among the most impoverished in the world could see acute poverty eradicated within 20 years if they continue at present rates.” On the other hand, the U.N. says environmental threats from climate change could push billions more into extreme poverty in coming decades. All of these points lead to the need for a revised, updated, and expanded edition of the Encyclopedia of World Poverty. Key Features: 775 evaluated and updated and 175 entirely new entries New Reader’s Guide categories Signed articles, with cross-references Further Readings will be accompanied by pedagogical elements Updated Chronology, Resource Guide, Glossary, and thorough new Index The SAGE Encyclopedia of World Poverty, Second Edition is a dependable source for students and researchers who are researching world poverty, making it a must-have reference for all academic libraries.
Book Synopsis Relationship Between Primary Care Access Through Free Clinics and Emergency Room Usage by : Jeffrey T. Trask
Download or read book Relationship Between Primary Care Access Through Free Clinics and Emergency Room Usage written by Jeffrey T. Trask and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health care system in the United States has a safety net to provide care for the millions of Americans without health insurance and lack access to care. The safety net system includes hospital emergency departments, federally qualified health centers, and community clinics. With the costs of health care rising, ways to utilize and maximize the effectiveness of safety net providers is critical. One way to conserve costs involves preventing those without insurance from using the emergency room as a primary care provider. This study surveyed two uninsured groups, one using a local free clinic for primary care (n = 54) and one from the community that did not use the free clinic (n = 70). The uninsured group that used the free clinic had a statistically significant lower average of emergency room visits than the uninsured group that did not use the free clinic. The results suggest that providing primary care for the uninsured decreases emergency room usage.

Book excerpt: The Manchester Triage System (MTS) is the most widely used triagesystem in the UK, Europe and Australia, with tens of millions ofpatients being processed through hospital emergencydepartments. Emergency Triage is the core text for the MTS which utilises arisk averse system of prioritisation for patients in allunscheduled care settings, and as such it is an essential text forall emergency department staff using the MTS, in particular triagenurses themselves. The second edition has been revised throughout and takes in thechanges in practice introduced into MTS since the book was firstpublished. These include: Redesigned and expanded flow charts Additional charts for allergy and palpitations New practices - such as the possibility of revascularisation forpatients with stroke New discriminators, for example acute neurological deficit andsignificant respiratory history Redefinition of existing discriminators Also new to this edition is the incorporation of sections on theuse of the risk averse system in telephone triage, in settingswhere ‘streaming’ takes place and as an early warningscore for patients in all unscheduled care settings. The tone ofthis edition reflects the more up to date, modified approach totriage while retaining the principles of clinical prioritisation,which in the authors’ words “remains a central plank ofclinical risk management in emergency care”. Emergency Triage is an essential handbook for all cliniciansinvolved in unscheduled care settings such as emergency care, walkin centres, minor injury units, primary care out of hoursservices.

This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.
