Designing and describing an electronic referral system to facilitate direct hospital admissions.

BACKGROUND: In France, the progressive use of emergency departments (EDs) by primary care providers (PCPs) as a point of access to hospitalization for nonurgent patients is one of the many causes of their overcrowding. To increase the proportion of direct hospital admissions, it is necessary to improve coordination between PCPs and hospital specialists. The objective of our work was to describe the design and implementation of an electronic referral system aimed at facilitating direct hospital admissions. METHODS: This initiative was conducted in a French area (Hauts-de-Seine Sud) through a partnership between the Antoine-Béclère University Hospital, the Paris-Saclay University Department of General Medicine and the local health care network. The implementation was carried out in 3 stages, namely, conducting a survey of PCPs in the territory about their communication methods with the hospital, designing and implementing a web-based application called "SIPILINK" (Système d'Information de la Plateforme d'Intermédiation Link) and an innovative organization for hospital management of the requests, and analysing through descriptive statistics the platform use 9 months after launch. RESULTS: The e-referral platform was launched in November 2019. First, a PCP filled out an electronic form describing the reason for his or her request. Then, a hospital specialist worked to respond within 72 h. Nine months after the launch, 132 PCPs had registered for the SIPILINK platform, which represented 36.6% of PCPs in this area. Of the 124 requests made, 46.8% corresponded to a hospitalization request (conventional or day hospitalization). The most requested specialty was internal medicine (48.4% of requests). The median time to first response was 43 min, and 43.5% of these requests resulted in direct admission (conventional or day hospitalization). CONCLUSIONS: This type of system responds to a need for coordination in the primary-secondary care direction, which is less often addressed than in the secondary-primary care direction. The first results show the potential of the system to facilitate direct admissions within a short time frame. To make the system sustainable, the next step is to extend its use to other hospitals in the territory.

Burnout Syndrome: an analysis of the mental health of medical residents in a teaching hospital / Síndrome de Burnout: uma análise da saúde mental dos residentes médicos de um Hospital Escola

Abstract: Introduction: Medical residency can cause burnout syndrome, a physical, emotional and mental state of extreme exhaustion. Objective: This research sought to describe and analyze the prevalence of burnout in resident physicians linked to a teaching Hospital and to verify whether there is a correlation with sociodemographic and socioeconomic data. Method: This is an analytical, cross-sectional and quantitative study using the MBI (Malasch Burnout Inventory) version HSS (Human Services Survey), the Brazilian Economic Classification Criterion (CCEB) of ABEP and sociodemographic questions. Result: Of the enrolled residents, 102 participated in the survey. Of these, 76.47% showed a high level in at least one of the three domains of the burnout index and 21.57% of the residents showed a high level of burnout. There was a significant relationship between a larger number of children and the presence of emotional exhaustion (P=0.047), a higher frequency of depersonalization for surgical area residents (P=0.013) and reduced professional accomplishment, with an average income of R$ 2,965.69 and R$ 10,386.52 (P=0.006). No significant relationship was found between burnout and sociodemographic and socioeconomic variables. Conclusion: The results show that resident physicians are exposed to situations that contribute to high levels of stress and distress. Further studies on the subject are still necessary.

Objetivo: Buscou-se com esta pesquisa descrever e analisar a prevalência de burnout em médicos residentes vinculados a um hospital-escola e verificar se há correlação com dados sociodemográficos e socioeconômicos. Método: Este é um estudo analítico, transversal e quantitativo realizado por meio do Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) versão Human Services Survey (HSS), do Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil (CCEB) da Abep e de perguntas sociodemográficas. Resultado: Dos 221 residentes matriculados, 102 participaram da pesquisa. Destes, 76,47% apresentaram alto nível em pelo menos um dos três domínios do índice de burnout e 21,57% dos residentes exibiram alto nível de burnout. Houve relação significativa entre maior número de filhos e presença de exaustão emocional (p = 0,047), maior frequência de despersonalização para residentes da área cirúrgica (p = 0,013) e reduzida realização profissional com a renda média de R$ 2.965,69 e R$ 10.386,52 (p = 0,006). Não foi encontrada relação significativa entre burnout e as variáveis sociodemográficas e socioeconômicas. Conclusão: Os resultados evidenciam que os médicos residentes estão expostos a situações que contribuem para os altos níveis de estresse e angústia. Ainda são necessários mais estudos sobre o tema.

EFFECTS OF OCCUPATIONAL STRESS ON THE ACTIVATION OF HEMOSTATIC AND INFLAMMATORY SYSTEM.

A 24-hour shift is one of the major stressors for physicians because, apart from causing fatigue and circadian rhythm disorders, it often requires making vital decisions for patients within a short time frame. It is known that workplace stress leads to the activation of the coagulation system, which can result in imbalance of the coagulation and fibrinolysis system. The state of stress can also generate proinflammatory mediators. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of 24-hour shift on global coagulation tests of D-dimers and fibrinolysis, and on C-reactive protein (CRP) as an acute inflammatory agent and proatherosclerotic factor. Sixty physicians (residents) aged 25-35 participated in this study (30 participants in the experimental group and 30 participants in the control group). In experimental group, blood samples were collected on three occasions: shortly before 24-hour shift, twelve hours after the shift had begun, and at the end of the shift. Blood samples were collected from control group participants at the same time points. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the values of D-dimer and fibrinolysis between the experimental and control groups. CRP values were statistically significantly higher in the experimental (1.57, 1.49 and 1.50) than in the control group (0.79, 0.75 and 0.84) on all three measurements (p=0.024, p=0.020 and p=0.030, respectively). These results confirmed the existence of proinflammatory changes in the endothelium of blood vessels, which is a factor associated with accelerated atherosclerosis.

Are mindfulness and self-efficacy related to presenteeism among primary medical staff: A cross-sectional study.

OBJECTIVES: In ensuring public welfare with primary medical and health services, the primary medical staff faces new tasks. Increasing workload, and therefore degrees of stress and burnout, can influence job satisfaction and lead to presenteeism, which is defined as the appearance to be on the job but not actually working. The purpose of this study is to investigate the current working situation and the relationship between presenteeism and mindfulness of primary medical staff and determine the mediating effect of self-efficacy on this relationship. METHOD: A cross-sectional survey was performed with 580 primary medical staff from 9 hospitals in Shaanxi province, northwest China. Presenteeism, mindfulness, and self-efficacy were measured by using a general information questionnaire, the Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Stanford Presenteeism Scale. Mediating effect was analyzed by a series of hierarchical multiple regressions. RESULTS: A high level of presenteeism was found among 47.4% of the study participants. Presenteeism was negatively correlated with mindfulness(r = -0.409, P < 0.001) and self-efficacy(r = -0.678, P < 0.001). A positive correlation was found between mindfulness and self-efficacy(r = 0.584, P < 0.001). When controlling for self-efficacy (ß = -0.018, P > 0.05), the association was insignificant between presenteeism and mindfulness. CONCLUSION: The results identified the effect of mindfulness on presenteeism of primary medical staff is realized through self-efficacy,which also suggested to enhance self-efficacy on center location when developing management strategies for mental health education or training among primary medical staff.

O risco de desenvolver ardência de faringe foi 7,765 vezes (p=0,019) no sexo feminino em relação ao masculino. Conclusão Os sinais e sintomas analisados incidiram em até 12 meses do início da residência e o risco de apresentar ardência de faringe foi maior no sexo feminino, o que indica a exposição aos riscos da inalação da fumaça cirúrgica e, portanto, a necessidade de adoção de medidas de proteção individuais e coletivas.

Conclusión las señales y síntomas analizados incidieron hasta 12 meses desde el inicio de la residencia y el riesgo de presentar ardor de faringe fue mayor en el sexo femenino, lo que indica una exposición a los riesgos de inhalación de humo quirúrgico y, por lo tanto, la necesidad de adoptar medidas de protección individuales y colectivas.

Abstract Objective To analyze the signs and symptoms presented by doctors in surgery and anesthesiology residency programs exposed to surgical smoke. Method Prospective cohort study with resident doctors exposed to surgical smoke in a teaching hospital. There was 17-month follow-up of residents from the years 2015 and 2016, who met the criteria of being regularly enrolled in a surgery or anesthesiology residency and not being a smoker. The data collection instrument was composed of sociodemographic, academic data and the signs and symptoms related to the inhalation of surgical smoke, cited in the literature. The data analysis was descriptive and inferential, by statistical tests and measures of effect. Results The sample consisted of 39 residents, of which most were male (56.4%) and below 30 years old (74.3%). There was a prevalence of gynecology and obstetrics residents (30.8%), followed by general surgery (28.2%) and anesthesiology (20.5%). Burning in the pharynx (p=0.030), nausea and vomiting (p=0.018) and eye irritation (p=0.050) occurred in the first year of residence. The risk of developing burning in the pharynx was 7.765 times greater (p=0.019) in females when compared to males. Conclusion The signs and symptoms analyzed occurred within 12 months of the beginning of the course and the risk of burning in the pharynx was higher in females, which indicates exposure to the risks of inhalation of surgical smoke and, therefore, points to the need for the adoption of individual and collective protection measures.

Complications in the first 10 phacoemulsification cataract surgeries with and without prior simulator training / Complicações nas 10 primeiras cirurgias de catarata por facoemulsificação com e sem treinamento prévio em simulador

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate whether training medical residents with the Eyesi® cataract surgery simulator reduces the occurrence of intraoperative complications. Methods: This was a retrospective study in which the first 10 phacoemulsification surgeries performed by two groups of second-year ophthalmology residents were evaluated, during 2014 and 2015. The first Group consisted of seven residents from 2014 who had not had previous training with the simulator. The second Group was formed of seven residents in 2015, who had completed the C-level (intermediate) training with the simulator before beginning surgery on patients. We then compared these two groups regarding the frequency of occurrence of the four main intraoperative surgical complications: posterior capsule rupture, aphakia, and nucleus fragment dislocation into the vitreous, and extracapsular conversion. Results: A total of 140 surgeries were performed, 70 by Group 1 and 70 by Group 2. The total number of complications was 19 (27.14%) in Group 1 and nine (12.86%) in Group 2, and this reduction was significant (p=0.031). Fourteen (20%) surgeries in Group 1 and seven (10%) in Group 2 had complications. The complications were 13 posterior capsule ruptures (18.57%) in Group 1 and seven (10%) in Group 2; three eyes had nucleus fragment dislocations (4.29%) in Group 1, but only one (1.43%) in Group 2; two extracapsular conversions (2.86%) occurred in Group 1 and one (1.43%) in Group 2; and there was one aphakia (1.43%) in Group 1. Conclusions: The training with the Eyesi® cataract surgery simulator significantly reduced the total number of intraoperative complications in the first 10 phacoemulsification cataract surgeries performed by ophthalmology residents.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar se o treinamento de residentes médicos com o simulador de cirurgia de catarata Eyesi® reduz a ocorrência de complicações intraoperatórias. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo em que foram avaliadas as primeiras 10 cirurgias de facoemulsificação realizadas por dois grupos de residentes de Oftalmologia do segundo ano, no período de 2014 a 2015. O primeiro Grupo foi formado por sete residentes de 2014 que não tiveram treinamento prévio no simulador. O segundo Grupo foi formado por sete residentes de 2015, que completaram o treinamento até o nível C (intermediário) no simulador antes de iniciar a cirurgia em pacientes. Em seguida, comparamos esses dois grupos em relação à frequência de ocorrência das quatro principais complicações cirúrgicas intraoperatórias: ruptura da cápsula posterior, afacia e deslocamento de fragmentos de núcleo para o vítreo e conversão para extracapsular. Resultados: Foram realizadas 140 cirurgias, sendo 70 pelo Grupo 1 e 70 pelo Grupo 2. O número total de complicações foi de 19 (27,14%) no Grupo 1 e nove (12,86%) no Grupo 2, e esta redução foi significativa (p=0,031). Quatorze (20%) cirurgias no Grupo 1 e sete (10%) no Grupo 2 tiveram complicações. As complicações foram 13 rupturas de cápsula posterior (18,57%) no Grupo 1 e sete (10%) no Grupo 2, três olhos com luxação de fragmento de núcleo para o vítreo (4,29%) no Grupo 1 e um (1,43%) no Grupo 2, duas conversões extracapsulares (2,86%) no Grupo 1 e uma (1,43%) no Grupo 2 e uma afacia (1,43%) no Grupo 1. Conclusões: O treinamento com o simulador de cirurgia de catarata Eyesi® reduziu significativamente o número total de complicações intraoperatórias nas primeiras 10 cirurgias de catarata por facoemulsificação realizadas por residentes de oftalmologia.

Accessibility of Medical Diagnostic Equipment for Patients With Disability: Observations From Physicians.

OBJECTIVE: To explore attitudes and practices of physicians relating to accessible medical diagnostic equipment in serving patients with mobility disability. DESIGN: Open-ended individual telephone interviews, which reached data saturation. Interview recordings were transcribed verbatim for qualitative conventional content analysis. SETTING: Massachusetts, the United States, October 2017-January 2018. PARTICIPANTS: Practicing physicians from 5 clinical specialties (N=20). INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Common themes concerning physical accessibility. RESULTS: Mean ± SD time in practice was 27.5±12.5 years; 14 practices had height-adjustable examination tables; and 7 had wheelchair-accessible weight scales. The analysis identified 6 broad themes: height-adjustable examination tables have advantages; height-adjustable examination tables have drawbacks; transferring patients onto examination tables is challenging; rationale for examining patients in their wheelchairs; perceptions of wheelchair-accessible weight scales; and barriers and facilitators to improving physical accessibility. Major barriers identified by participants included costs of equipment, limited space, and inadequate payment for extra time required to care for persons with disability. Even physicians with accessible examination tables sometimes examined patients seated in their wheelchairs. CONCLUSIONS: Even if physicians have accessible equipment, they do not always use it in examining patients with disability. Future efforts will need to consider ways to eliminate these access barriers in clinical practice. Given small sample size, results are not generalizable to physicians nationwide and globally.

The ethical climate in paediatric oncology-A national cross-sectional survey of health-care personnel.

OBJECTIVE: To describe health-care personnel's (HCP's) perceptions of the ethical climate at their workplace in paediatric oncology. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Swedish version of the shortened Hospital Ethical Climate Survey (HECS-S). HCP at all six paediatric oncology centres (POCs) in Sweden were invited to participate. Analysis included descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test (differences between groups) and Spearman's rank correlation. Informed consent was assumed when the respondents returned the survey. RESULTS: A high response rate was achieved as 278 HCP answered the questionnaire. Medical doctors perceived the ethical climate to be more positive than registered nurses and nursing assistants. At the POC with the significantly lowest values concerning immediate manager, no significant correlation with the other items was found. At the POC with the poorest ethical climate, HCP also had the lowest perception of the possibility of practicing ethically good care. CONCLUSIONS: Differences between centres and professional groups have been demonstrated. A negative perception of the immediate manager does not necessarily mean that the ethical climate is poor, but the manager's ability to provide the conditions for an open dialogue within the health-care team is key to achieving an ethical climate.

Prevalencia de síndrome de burnout en un centro de cirugía académico-asistencial público en Chile / Prevalence of burnout syndrome in a center for academic-public surgery assistance in Chile

Resumen Objetivo: Evaluar el grado de Síndrome de Burnout en el quehacer de los médicos del Servicio de Cirugía Hospital Hernán Henríquez Aravena y Departamento de Cirugía de la Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile, valorando los niveles de agotamiento emocional, realización personal y despersonalización. Material y Método: Estudio de corte transversal. Se incluyeron 19 internos de medicina, 11 residentes de cirugía y 15 cirujanos pertenecientes al Servicio de Cirugía del Hospital Hernán Henríquez Aravena y Departamento de Cirugía de la Universidad de La Frontera. Instrumento aplicado: cuestionario MBI. Se realizó cálculo de medidas de tendencia central y porcentaje, así como comparación de variables a través de t de Student y valores de coeficientes de alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: Respecto a la escala de MBI, la prevalencia global del síndrome fue del 64,4%, mientras que, por dimensiones, el cansancio emocional mostró una prevalencia del 76%; la baja realización personal en el trabajo, el 55%, y la despersonalización el 62%. Se obtuvo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cansancio emocional y despersonalización según variables sociodemográficas: hombres y mujeres, solteros y casados, sujetos sin hijos y con hijos, si hace o no turnos de urgencia, obteniendo niveles más altos en las mujeres, en solteros, en sujetos sin hijos y los que hacen turnos de urgencia. Conclusión: Se acepta que el factor central desencadenante es el excesivo agotamiento emocional que gradualmente lleva a un estado de distanciamiento emocional y cognitivo en sus actividades diarias, con la consecuente incapacidad de responder a las demandas del servicio. En este distanciamiento ocurre una despersonalización, indiferencia, y actitudes vinculadas al sarcasmo y la ironía hacia las responsabilidades o hacia las personas, una tendencia de no creer en la sinceridad del ser humano. Por tanto se deben tomar medidas para intentar reducir la prevalencia de este síndrome, principalmente en nuestros internos y residentes.

Aim: To assess the degree of emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and depersonalization in the work of physicians of the Hospital Hernán Henríquez Aravena surgery service and department of surgery of the Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile. Material and Method: Cross-sectional study. 19 medical interns, 11 surgical residents and 15 surgeons of Hernán Henríquez Aravena Hospital and surgery department of Universidad de La Frontera were included. Applied instrument: MBI questionnaire in its adaptation of the Spanish population. Calculation of measures of central tendency and percentage, as well as comparison of variables through t Student and values of Cronbach's alpha coefficients were performed. Results: Regarding the MBI scale, the overall prevalence of the syndrome was 64.4%, whereas, by dimensions, emotional exhaustion showed a prevalence of 76%; Low personal accomplishment at work, 55%, and depersonalization 62%. Statistically significant differences were found in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization according to socio-demographic variables: men and women, single and married, subjects without children and with children, whether or not they take emergency room shifts, obtaining higher levels in women, unmarried, subjects without children and those who take emergency shifts. Conclusions: It is accepted that the central triggering factor is the high emotional exhaustion that gradually leads to a state of emotional and cognitive distancing in their daily activities, with the consequent inability to respond to demands of the service. In this distancing occurs depersonalization, indifference and cynical attitudes toward responsibilities or towards people. Therefore, measures should be taken to try to reduce the prevalence of this syndrome in our medical interns and residents, mainly.

Os médicos e a racionalização das práticas hospitalares: novos limites para a liberdade profissional? / Physicians and the rationalization of hospital practices: new limits for professional freedom?

Os hospitais brasileiros experimentam um marcado processo de racionalização de suas práticas na busca de maiores eficiência e eficácia organizacional. Considerando a existência de um sistema dual de autoridades composto pelos poderes médico e administrativo, este estudo visa a compreender como os médicos vivenciam e dão sentido às políticas racionalizadoras da gestão hospitalar implementadas pela direção de um hospital da Secretaria de Saúde do Estado de São Paulo. Utilizando-se de análise documental e entrevistas, o estudo evidenciou um aparente paradoxo entre os avanços dos mecanismos de controle organizacional sobre o trabalho médico e a percepção de tais avanços pelos médicos.

Brazilian hospitals experience a remarkable rationalization process of its practices in the quest for greater efficiency and organizational effectiveness. Considering the existence of a dual system of authorities composed by both medical and administrative powers, the present study aims to understand how medical experience and assign meaning to the rationalizing policies of the hospital management implemented by one hospital management board of the State Health Department of São Paulo. By documentary analysis and interviews, this research showed an apparent paradox between the advances of the organizational mechanisms of control over medical work and the perception of such advancements by the physicians.

A percepção do usuário sobre a abordagem de uma equipe de residentes multiprofissionais / User perception on the approach of a team of multidisciplinary residents

Estudo qualitativo realizado com o objetivo de identificar e analisar as percepções dos usuários acompanhados por uma equipe de residentes multiprofissional. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, sendo posteriormente submetidos à análise temática que permitiu a construção de três categorias: 1) É diferente, vem com a gente!; 2) Surpresa boa não é aquela que não se espera, é aquela que não se esquece; 3) Críticas: o despertar de potências. A conclusão mostra que aparentemente a abordagem multiprofissional, com tendência interprofissional, vivenciada pelos sujeitos entrevistados envolveu fatores positivos, apesar das barreiras para a efetivação desta prática.

Qualitative study aiming to identify and analyze the perceptions of users accompanied by a team of Multidisciplinary residents. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and later submitted to thematic analysis which allowed the construction of three categories: 1) It is different, come along!; 2) a good surprise is not that which is not expected, but that which will not be forgotten; 3) reviews: the awakening of powers. The conclusion shows that apparently the multidisciplinary approach, with inter-professional tendency, experienced by interviewees involved positive factors, despite the barriers to the realization of this practice.
