Thermal acclimation of neonates to prolonged cool exposure as regards sleep stages

The thermal responses of neonates during a cool acclimation period were studied with regard to sleep stages. Sleep stages, body temperatures and metabolic rate (VO2) were studied for seven neonates nursed in incubators and exposed to a cool temperature (thermoneutrality minus 2 degrees C) for 75 h. Each recording session lasted 3 h in the morning: firstly under thermoneutral baseline conditions, then during the first and last 3-h periods of the cool acclimation and finally during the last 3 h of a 24-h recovery period. Sleep structure was modified during the initial hours of cool exposure: the percentage of active sleep increased (AS: +13%, P = 0.028) at the expense of quiet sleep (QS: -11%, P = 0.043). This alteration in sleep structure persisted at the end of the acclimation period. Metabolic heat production only increased in the later period of cool acclimation. Throughout the cool exposure, VO2 increased more (P = 0.040) in QS (+33%) than in AS (+20%) so that by the end of the cool period, VO2 levels were similar in both sleep stages. During cool acclimation, the maintenance of homeothermy is related not only to a change in sleep organization but also to modifications in the thermoregulatory processes in both sleep stages. Considering the importance of AS/QS patterns in the neurobehavioral development of neonates, the present results could have clinical implications for the thermal management of neonates.     

Modell eines computergestützten qualitätssicherungssystems in der verbrennungsintensivtherapie

Zusammenfassung Ausgehend von Überlegungen für ein angemessenes Qualitätssicherungssystem im intensiv-medizinischen Bereich werden die Voraussetzungen für ein ganzheitliches Qualitätsmanagementsystem im Krankenhaus entworfen. Die Grundlage für ein dynamisches Qualitätssicherungssystem ist auf der dokumentatorischen Ebene eine umfassende Datenbasis, die auf einer zeitlich und datentechnisch unbegrenzten Patientenakte basiert. Die notwendige Hard- und Softwarestruktur wird durch die konsequente Anwendung einer Client-Server-Architektur gewährleistet. Die ständige Überprüfung der bestehenden Qualitätsziele in einem ökonomischen Regelkreis benötigt ein System mit flexiblen Abfragemechanismen. Dieser informatorische Datenzugriff auf jeder Hierarchieebene der Krankenhausstruktur wird durch das Konzept des Data-Warehouse ermöglicht, das als Datenbanksystem mit subjektorientierten, integrierten, zeitvariablen und beständigen Informationen konzipiert ist.

A computer-assisted quality-assurance model for burn intensive care applications

The prerequisites for an integrated quality management system for hospitals were developed as a result of considerations regarding the necessity of an appropriate quality-assurance system for the intensive care sector. The basis for a dynamic quality-assurance system on the documentational level is a comprehensive data base containing patient files unlimited in terms of time and data technology. The necessary hardware and software structure will be provided by consistent application of a client-server architecture. Permanent surveillance of existing quality objectives within the scope of an economic close-loop system requires a system with flexible query mechanisms. Informational data access from all hierarchical level within the hospital organization is facilitated by the data warehouse concept, a data base system with subject-oriented, integrated, time-variable, and persistent data.

Data Lakes and Data Visualization: An Innovative Approach to Address the Challenges of Access to Health Care in Mississippi

Background: There are a variety of challenges to developing strategies to improve access to health care, but access to data is critical for effective evidence-based decision-making. Many agencies and organizations throughout Mississippi have been collecting quality health data for many years. However, those data have historically resided in data silos and have not been readily shared. A strategy was developed to build and coordinate infrastructure, capacity, tools, and resources to facilitate health workforce and population health planning throughout the state. Objective: Realizing data as the foundation upon which to build, the primary objective was to develop the capacity to collect, store, maintain, visualize, and analyze data from a variety of disparate sources -- with the ultimate goal of improving access to health care. Specific aims were to: 1) build a centralized data repository and scalable informatics platform, 2) develop a data management solution for this platform and then, 3) derive value from this platform by facilitating data visualization and analysis. Methods: A managed data lake was designed and constructed for health data from disparate sources throughout the state of Mississippi. A data management application was developed to log and track all data sources, maps and geographies, and data marts. With this informatics platform as a foundation, a variety of tools are used to visualize and analyze data. To illustrate, a web mapping application was developed to examine the health workforce geographically and attractive data visualizations and dynamic dashboards were created to facilitate health planning and research. Results: Samples of data visualizations that aim to inform health planners and policymakers are presented. Many agencies and organizations throughout the state benefit from this platform. Conclusion: The overarching goal is that by providing timely, reliable information to stakeholders, Mississippians in general will experience improved access to quality care.
