From infrastructure failings, to natural disasters, to violent attacks, emergency events sometimes reach the one place many consider a safe haven: hospitals. A hurricane, gas leak or other emergency may force a hospital to evacuate to protect current and prospective patients. While hospitals need to prepare for such events is ever present from their point of view, it may not be as front and center in EMS planning.

An initiative to replace the use of live animals with a human simulator for trauma surgery practice got training programs in more than 20 countries to make the switch, saving them money in the process, researchers say. The simulators are anatomically realistic and allow trainees to practice surgical skills and invasive procedures such as chest tube insertion, airway punctures, and draining fluids from the body, the study authors write in the Journal of Surgical Education.

A new virtual reality simulation is helping hospice workers and medical students see what it's like to die. An end-of-life simulation by Embodied Labs is now educating staff and students at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough, Maine. It's also a required experience for medical students at the University of New England.

Whatever the cluster of second-year students at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York expected to hear from an 82-year-old woman — this probably wasn’t it. At first, Elizabeth Shepherd, one of several seniors invited to meet with future doctors in an anti-ageism program called “Introduction to the Geriatric Patient,” largely followed the script.

During her early research on patient safety over a decade ago, focusing on medical error disclosure and ways to improve communication with patients and families after harmful events, Sigall K. Bell, M.D., director of patient safety and quality initiatives for the Raskin Fellow in Medical Education at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, began to notice a pattern.

Physicians are at high risk for burnout, which is marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a lack of sense of personal accomplishment. The Minimizing Error, Maximizing Outcome study found that more than half of primary care physicians felt stressed because of time pressures and other work conditions. Researchers surveyed 422 family physicians and general internists who worked in 119 ambulatory care clinics and surveyed 1,795 patients from these clinics, reviewing their medical records for information on care quality and medical errors.

Nursing students will be better prepared for work placements and future careers, thanks to state-of-the-art training facilities at the University of Northampton campus. It features a set of lifelike mannequins that allow students to "treat" people in a variety of nursing settings without ever leaving the university, giving them "as close to real-life as possible" training. The VR system can play students through actual conversations with characters in a medical scenario — as well as giving them clinical feedback.

Algorithms based on machine learning and deep learning, intended for use in diagnostic imaging, are moving into the commercial pipeline. However, providers will have to overcome multiple challenges to incorporate these tools into daily clinical workflows in radiology.
There now are numerous algorithms in various stages of development and in the FDA approval process, and experts believe that there could eventually be hundreds or even thousands of AI-based apps to improve the quality and efficiency of radiology.

Patient hand-offs at every hospital are a constant fact of life — as an administrator, your aim is, of course, to make them as seamless as possible. Yet so many elements can go awry during any care transition. If your healthcare workers don't utilize proper communication and procedural protocol, confusion and medical errors can occur, unfortunately. Great news, though: the following research-proven strategies can protect your patients physically as they move from one provider to another, ease their stress levels regarding medical instructions and improve comprehension of their treatment.

In the ongoing quest to ramp up healthcare innovation, a consortium of nearly two dozen academic institutions, led by West Virginia University's Health Sciences Innovation Center, have joined forces to launch a virtual hub, which will accelerate commercialization of research conducted at universities in the Southeast and Puerto Rico. The accelerator hub will be funded by a three-year, $3.5 million grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a division of the National Institutes of Health, as part of the Institution Development Award program.

Today’s patients have a broader view of what good health means, according to a new survey, and they have greater expectations of what their doctors should be talking about during office visits. The survey found a disconnect in doctor-patient conversations. Half of patients said their doctors do not have conversations beyond their medical needs. They want their doctors to talk to them about more than physical health, test results and medications.

Regulators should enforce stricter policies related to patient access to health information, according to a recent JAMA study that found many hospitals are not fulfilling federal or state regulations related to patient EHR and paper health records requests.
This finding comes as federal entities work to advance the aims of the MyHealthEData initiative, which is intended to improve EHR patient data access and give patients more control of their own health information.
