Discharge by 11:00 AM and the Effects on Throughput
… Nurse Leader project aims to improve the discharge process to increase the percentage of patients discharged before 11:00 AM on the Progressive Care Unit (PCU). One evidence-based approach to help alleviate capacity constraints in the hospital is to create an effective and timely discharge …

Hydrodynamic, acoustic, and electrical characteristics of underwater spark discharges initiated by different mechanisms
Underwater spark discharge is one of the most common methods to generate intense acoustic impulses in water for different purposes in practical applications. As compared with chemical explosion, the underwater spark discharges provide a number of advantages: they do not generate toxic compounds or …

Developing a New Model of Care for Patients' Medication Supply at Hospital Discharge: A Multi-Perspective Approach
Hospital discharge is a complex process that can result in errors and delays for patients, particularly around the supply of medicines and communication of information. This programme of work (PoW) aimed to develop an innovative model of care for the supply of medication at hospital discharge to …

Hospital to home : family caregiver perspectives of discharge transitions of seniors with dementia
Hospital discharge transitions can be challenging for seniors and their caregivers. Seniors with dementia are particularly vulnerable and are at increased risk for adverse outcomes from poorly executed hospital to home discharge transitions. Family caregivers play a vital role in supporting seniors …

Older Adults’ Implementation of Discharge Instructions Following an Acute Care Hospital Stay
<p>Discharge instructions are a self-care guide for patients after discharge from an acute care hospitalization. The discharge process starts on admission to the hospital and continues until discharged. Many patients rely on informal caregivers to provide support after a discharge. However, it is …

Text Reminders in Pyrexial Paediatric Patients (TRIPPP): a randomized controlled pilot study
Transitions in care – including at the point of discharge from a hospital - may potentially place patients in a position of increased risk and vulnerability.(1) This is recognised to be of particular concern for paediatric patients, compounded by the fact that no widely accepted or used standards …

The application of genetic algorithms to parameter estimation in lead-acid battery equivalent circuit models
… algorithm. A model was developed to describe the process of battery discharge. Genetic Algorithms were used as a tool to identify the parameters of the battery, including the internal resistances, SOC, and capacity. Simulation results show that the model is able to adequately simulate the battery …

ENT Educational Patient Bedside Tool
<p>Early educational and discharge preparations are an advantage to patients, the interdisciplinary team, and hospital. It was determined that lack in communication and coordination among staff members led to inadequate patient teaching, therefore an educational tool that is kept at the bedside may …
