Data Elements

HiGHmed is a German Consortium where eight University Hospitals have agreed to the cross-institutional data exchange through novel medical informatics solutions. The HiGHmed Use Case Infection Control group has modelled a set of infection-related data in the openEHR format. In order to establish interoperability with the other German Consortia belonging to the same national initiative, we mapped the openEHR information to the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) format recommended within the initiative. FHIR enables fast exchange of data thanks to the discrete and independent data elements into which information is organized. Furthermore, to explore the possibility of maximizing analysis capabilities for our data set, we subsequently mapped the FHIR elements to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model (OMOP CDM). The OMOP data model is designed to support the conduct of research to identify and evaluate associations between interventions and outcomes caused by these interventions. Mapping across standard allows to exploit their peculiarities while establishing and/or maintaining interoperability. This article provides an overview of our experience in mapping infection control related data across three different standards openEHR, FHIR and OMOP CDM.

Abstract Background Single anastomosis sleeve ileal bypass (SASI) procedure appears as anew metabolic and bariatric surgery based on santoro's operation, in which sleeve gastrectomy is followed by side to side gastro-ileal loop anastomosis. Aim of the Work to compare between Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass (SASI) and Mini Gastric Bypass (OAGB) in treatment of morbid obesity. Patients and Methods Our study was a prospective randomized comparative study in Ain Shams University hospitals involving 50 patients suffering from morbid obesity and in whom surgical management was indicated. Our patients were randomly divided using closed envelopment method into two groups: Group (1): (25 patients) were treated by laparoscopic SASI. Group (2): (25 patients) were treated by laparoscopic MGB. Results One year after the surgery, there was significant diabetic remission rate and there was improvement of most of obesity-associated metabolic parameters Conclusion Our study suggests that both SASI and MGB are highly effective in controlling diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

AbstractIn three years we encountered two patients with hospital-acquired myiasis, a rarely reported nosocomial problem. Both patients were elderly and had lengthy thoracic surgery in August in the same operating room. Larvae removed from the nares of one patient and from the chest incision of the other were of the same species, Phaenicia serricata. There was no evidence of tissue destruction or invasion in either case. Investigation revealed several factors that contributed to the presence of flies in the operating room. After a presumed environmental access site was closed and insecticide spraying was augmented, no additional cases occurred. This experience illustrates an unusual problem that may confront those responsible for infection control programs.

Healthcare Epidemiology

Practicum education in healthcare epidemiology and infection control (HEIC) for postgraduate physician trainees in infectious diseases is necessary to prepare them to be future participants and leaders in patient safety. Voss et al suggested that training in HEIC should be offered as a “common trunk” for physicians being trained in clinical microbiology or infectious diseases. A 1-month rotation has been recommended previously. A survey by Joiner et al indicated that only 50% of infectious diseases fellows found the infection control training adequate. The objective of this article is to report our 2-year experience with a 1-month practicum rotation we designed and implemented at our institution.The setting is the Adult Infectious Diseases fellowship program at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW), Dallas, Texas. The fellows have clinical rotations at the Parkland Health and Hospital System, UTSW University hospitals, North Texas Veterans Affairs Health Care System, and Children's Medical Center Dallas. The 2-year program recruits 7 fellows every 2 years. The 1-month core rotation was established in July 2011 and is ongoing. Fellows who completed the rotation during the period July 2011 to April 2013 are included in this study.
