Postoperative patient data sets taken for testing of this data are sourced from the UCI repository on the website https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Post-Operative+Patient. Based on the website address, the study was conducted by Sharon Summers, School of Nursing, University of Kansas, Medical Center, Kansas City, KS 66160 and Linda Woolery, School of Nursing, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 6521. Number of attributes from this data set there are 8 and 1 class, the attributes in question include; L-CORE (patient's internal temperature in C), L-SURF (patient's surface temperature in C), L-O2 (oxygen saturation in%), L-BP (last measurement of blood pressure), SURF-STBL (stability of the patient's surface temperature ), CORE-STBL (stability of the patient), BP-STBL (stability of the patient's blood pressure), COMFORT (perceived comfort of the patient at discharge, measured as an integer between 0 and 20) and ADM-DECS decision class / patient exit decision with information (I = patient sent to intensive care unit, S = patient ready to go home, A = patient sent to general hospital floor).

Compressed/interactive video is a relatively new format for providing preservice and inservice courses to rural and/or remote areas (Willis, 1993). At the University of Kansas Medical Center only two programs, those of Nursing and the Deaf Education, have engaged in this format of distance education. While the methodology was expected to assist graduate students in areas of the state who could not travel to participate in courses on one of the three urban campuses, it was also expected to challenge instructors to teach effectively while still encouraging active learning activities. Surveys of questions to rural and urban students were given to 13 graduate students in two courses in the fall of 1992, and to three additional students in the fall of 1993. Analyzed results documented the success of the compressed/interactive (ITV) video teaching format for this small group of master level students in Kansas.

In order to help readers monitor the most important developments in specialized areas of pharmacy practice in organized health systems, Hospital Pharmacy commissions Basic Bibliographies by guest editors, who have expertise in their respective fields. These guest editors survey the relevant literature and rank approximately 15 to 20 references that represent the most significant research and practice contributions in their areas. The more fundamental are listed first so that persons with limited time can select reading appropriate to their needs. A cum-mulative index to Basic Bibliography topics will be published semi-annually in June and December. Readers are urged to forward reactions or challenges to: Joyce A.

This is the fifth of a six-part series on diversion of controlled substances in an acute health care setting. The six articles are meant to accompany the recommendations in the Hospital Pharmacy article “Controlled Substance Diversion Detection: Go the Extra Mile” for a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of controlled substance handling. 1 The series focuses on preventing diversion from automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs), the operating room, and at all handling points within a pharmacy. The objective of the series is to provide practical recommendations to aid pharmacy managers as they seek to prevent or detect diversion. Experience is key to diversion detection; however, a pharmacy should not have to experience its own diversion in order to learn from it. The collective experience of pharmacy leaders at the Ohio State University Medical Center and the University of Kansas Hospital are gathered to assist other pharmacy leaders in the hopes that they do not have to gain this experience firsthand. This article will describe the features of one popular reporting software package along with the experience that the University of Kansas Hospital has had in using this software. This description is an attempt to demonstrate the value of an add-on software package and to encourage its use by more hospital pharmacies.

IntroductionLong-acting reversible contraception (LARC) is widely recommended to reduce unintended pregnancy in the USA. As intrauterine device (IUD) use increases, evaluating the role of post-insertion follow-up is important.MethodsA retrospective patient record review was conducted to assess the follow-up experience of women who had an IUD placed at the University of Kansas Medical Center from 1 January to 30 June 2015. Data were collected on patient demographics, IUD placement, follow-up visit attendance, and outcomes in the 12 months following placement. The primary outcome of interest was the proportion of patients who attended a 6-week follow-up visit. Secondary outcomes included adverse events detected at the 6-week visit and IUD removal within a year of placement.ResultsAmong 380 women who had an IUD inserted, physician documentation of a recommended 6-week follow-up visit was present in 91.3% of patient medical records. Two-thirds (66.6%) of patients receiving a recommendation returned for a follow-up visit. Of the 380 women who had an IUD placed, 66 (17.4%) had their IUD removed within 1 year of placement. Of those, 50 women attended the 6-week follow-up visit and 16 did not (19.8% vs 12.6%, p=0.08). Of the IUD removals, 14 occurred at the 6-week visit. After excluding IUD removals which occurred at the 6-week visit, attending a 6-week follow-up visit was not associated with IUD removal or retention (p=0.52).ConclusionDespite recommendations to forgo the 6-week follow-up visit, visits were still common, with no demonstrated value added.

Background: The University of Rochester (UR) Specialty Pharmacy hepatitis C patient management program offers a unique advantage of being integrated within the same health system as the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) Gastroenterology and Hepatology division. Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to assess treatment success through the incidence of achieving a sustained virological response (SVR) in patients served by the UR Specialty Pharmacy versus other nonintegrated pharmacies. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study in adult patients of URMC Gastroenterology and Hepatology prescribed hepatitis C treatment between January 1, 2014, and July 15, 2015. The incidence of SVR, adherence, delay in therapy initiation, early treatment discontinuation, rate of attainment of viral load measurement post–therapy completion, and predictors associated with treatment outcome were assessed. Results: A total of 414 patients were prescribed hepatitis C virus treatment during the study period; 137 did not initiate therapy. The rate of SVR was 93% among patients at the UR Specialty Pharmacy and 89% at nonintegrated pharmacies ( P = 0.357). Adherence to therapy was 100% and 97% at the UR Specialty Pharmacy and nonintegrated pharmacies, respectively ( P = 0.046). Conclusions: The UR Specialty Pharmacy was associated with a 93% SVR rate and significantly greater adherence compared with nonintegrated pharmacies. Larger studies are needed to determine if a significant difference in SVR exists between integrated and nonintegrated pharmacies. This study provides a framework for other institutions to justify developing integrated hepatitis C specialty pharmacy services and evaluate their success.
