Measuring Technical Efficiency in Primary Health Care: The Effect of Exogenous Variables on Resultsemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Abstract  The aim of this paper is to extend the existing literature about efficiency measurement in primary health care with the application of a recently developed method to deal with exogenous variables. In this context, these variables are represented by the main characteristics of the covered population. The use of this technique allows calculating more accurate efficiency scores that can reflect the performance of units more properly. Our results show that the inclusion of these variables in the evaluation has a great impact on both the values of efficiency scores and the rank of units. This analysis ha...

Hospitals are looking to document management and imaging (DMI) solutions to help them transition from paper records to electronic ones, according to a new report from KLAS. In a market dominated by best-of-breed vendors, MedPlus and Hyland are the clear leaders in DMI, the report concludes. "Both Hyland and MedPlus provide successful solutions for almost any size organization," said Steve Van Wagenen, a KLAS research director and author of the DMI study. "And their customer satisfaction scores remain strong regardless of the organization's EMR."

Abstract  Monitoring of aortic blood flow, conducting large portions of the cardiac output (CO), allows conclusions on the global hemodynamic status of patients. For this purpose, transesophageal Doppler (TED) devices have been developed, which interrogate the descending aorta and calculate aortic blood flow velocity using the Doppler principle. The recorded velocity–time curve can be used to estimate CO as well other advanced hemodynamic parameters such as preload, afterload and myocardial contractility. Clinical studies in perioperative patients have demonstrated a reduced postoperative morbidity and shor...

Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta is employing technology to help manage its emergency department in anticipation of a surge of H1N1 flu cases this fall. Hospital officials said the wave of H1N1 cases in the spring was manageable. "The number of ER visits we had were minimal – maybe eight a month," said Charlotte S. Clark, Grady's emergency management manager. As a regional coordinating hospital, however, Grady was also charged with distributing Tamiflu antiviral medicine, and that proved challenging.

The ability to monitor patients from a distance, using electronic devices to record and send measurements of patients' vital signs, has been a mainstay in the use of medical technology for years. But the needs and expectations of patients with chronic conditions and of healthcare professionals who care for those patients have changed considerably since remote patient monitoring devices were first introduced. To fulfill these needs, emerging technologies must go far beyond simply monitoring standard vital signs, or just adding new technical features.

Government stimulus funds, the proliferation of portable medical devices and the ability to transmit digital data are pushing the technological revolution into overdrive.
