Characteristics, management, and outcomes for patients during hospitalization due to worsening heart failure-A report from the Japanese Cardiac Registry of Heart Failure in Cardiology (JCARE-CARD).
CONCLUSIONS: The characteristics, clinical status, and laboratory data on admission in patients hospitalized with worsening HF were similar between the present study and previous Japanese and western studies. Management was also similar except for higher use of carperitide and ARB. The most striking difference between Japanese registries and those from the USA and Europe was the longer length of stay.

Lost in hospital: a qualitative interview study that explores the perceptions of NHS inpatients who spent time on clinically inappropriate hospital wards
ConclusionsPatients generally acknowledge the need for placement on inappropriate wards due to demand for inpatient beds, but may report dissatisfaction in terms of preference and belonging. Importantly, patients recount issues resulting from this placement that may compromise their safety. Hospital managers should be encouraged to appreciate this insight and potential threat to safe practice and where possible avoid inappropriate ward transfers and admissions. Where such admissions are unavoidable, staff should take action to address the gaps in safety of care that have been identified. (Source: Health Expectations)
