I am currently out of town, and for quite some time. I will try and dig
up the info. This is at least 12 years ago. Thanks.

Impact of HTM on Morbidity and Mortality

By admin | October 23, 2008

Perhaps one way to approach this is to understand that a number of
deaths and accidents in hospitals are due to malfunctioning
technologies, inappropriate technologies, absent technologies, or errors
in the use of technology. Regardless of what the number of deaths and
accidents for any particular location is, there is a need to proactively
try to reduce the risks by [...]

Impact of HTM on Morbidity and Mortality

This is very well stated, Björn, in particular the notion that HTM is is
a necessary but not sufficient condition for positive health outcomes,
which places HTM in the right context. As you and others suggest, it
also means that ‘impact’ is hard to measure and relate to a single
cause, such as HTM, because of the multiple factors [...]

Hi Jennifer,
This a very fundamental question to which it would agreeable to have an
answer. I agree with Andrei Issakov that the casual pathway between HTM
and health outcomes is not straightforward.
Without wanting to open a debate on the limits of the field of HTM most
of the factors affecting the health outcomes are actually likely to be
outside [...]

I only can agree that this is a very important question. Answers would
certainly be a big help to our efforts in convincing on political and
administrative levels with regard to the requirement of HTM .
Mladen and Tidi:
We would be very much interested to learn how you linked the indicators
of morbidity and mortality with the impact and [...]

Impact of wireless on Patient quality of care in hospitals

By admin | October 23, 2008

Hi all,
I would like to put my two cents in this important matter, and ask the
group if, in the same way Jennifer did, is there any reliable work
relating wireless in hospitals and some measurable improvement in the
patient quality of care, as defined by Mladen.
Thanks for any input.

Dear Andrei,
We face similar problems to demonstrate the impact of healthcare information. I’m sure that those who are trying to measure the impact of information and HTM, respectively, could learn from one another and perhaps even coordinate some of the actual data collection.
I shall be coming to Geneva at end of November/beginning [...]

In echoing the importance of this I would like to say that the points that Mladen is raising are very important. The Xray project is very interesting. Few years ago, its been quite a few years , we did a preliminary study in Botswana on the impact of Xray facilities [...]

Impact of HTM on Morbidity and Mortality

By admin | October 22, 2008

Hi Jennifer, Very important issue. There is very little, if any, evidence on the impact of HTM on health status and outcomes. And there are many reasons for that, particularly as the causal pathway between HTM and health outcomes is not that straightforward, and there are lots of other [...]
