Sharing of Your Personal Information

    Doctors Missing Test Result Alerts Due to Overload

    It is common to assume that “no news is good news” when it comes to medical test results.  Don’t count on it! A study published March 4, 2013 in JAMA Internal Medicine found that some doctors are so overloaded with abnormal test result alerts, that they sometimes overlook important alerts.    This is clearly a major health issue. The study was conducted at the VA Medical Center in Houston, and involved a survey of 2,590 primary care practitioners.  A summary of the findings: Median number of alerts was 63 per day/per doctor. 86.9% of the doctors felt this was an “excessive” number of alerts. 69.6% stated that they felt they were receiving more alerts than they could effectively manage. 29.8% reported that they had personally missed abnormal test result alerts that led to delays in patient care.

    Medication Errors Common at Hospital Discharge

    When you (or a loved one) are being discharged from the hospital, there is a lot to keep track of, including medications, home care needs, follow up appointments, etc.  Unfortunately, there is frequent misunderstanding regarding which medications to take and how to take them. A recent study led by Dr. Leora Horwitz at Yale-New Haven Hospital reviewed 377 patients (age 64+) who had been admitted with heart failure, acute coronary symptoms or pneumonia, who then were discharged to home. Findings: 81% experienced a medication error due to provider error, or because the patient had no understanding of at least one intended medication change. 24% of the medication errors were due to provider error. 60% did not understand at least one of their medication changes (a new or altered prescription, or a discontinuation of a medication, based on their recent hospitalization). more »

    Surgical ‘Never Events’ Occur More Than You Would Think

    It’s every patient’s worst nightmare – a surgeon makes a mistake, a big mistake.  The wrong operation is preformed.  Something is left inside.  The wrong body part is operated on.  Think it rarely happens?  Not so. A recent study led by Dr. Marty Makary at Johns Hopkins (published in Surgery) estimates that these so-called “never events” occurred in U.S. hospitals over 80,000 times in 20 years (1990-2010).  They actually believe their estimates might be low. What did they find?  The researchers found that surgeons, as a group, in the United States: Leave a foreign object (sponge, etc) inside a patient’s body 39 times/week Perform the wrong procedure 20 times/week Operate on the wrong body part 20 times/week Luckily, the affects of these mistakes are generally not fatal.  However, they did find that: Death occurred in 6.6% of the cases Permanent more »
