This study examined the impact of allowing emergency physicians to order CT scans without prior consultation with radiology at an urban academic hospital. The researchers found that enabling direct ordering did not increase CT utilization rates. Specifically:
1) Prior to the change, ordering CT scans required discussion between emergency physicians and radiology, leading to delays.
2) After implementing direct ordering between 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, the total number of CT scans ordered by emergency physicians decreased by 2.9% and the rate of CT scans per patient decreased by 1%.
3) The results suggest that streamlining the CT ordering process in this way can improve patient flow and length of stay without increasing radiation exposure from unnecessary scans.
This document provides information on immunization including key terms, vaccination schedules, and maintaining the cold chain. It discusses immunization as a key child survival strategy and outlines the national immunization schedule in India. Full immunization requires 3 doses of DPT and OPV vaccines and 1 dose of BCG, measles, and tetanus toxoid vaccines. The cold chain system is crucial for transporting and storing vaccines at the proper temperatures. Proper maintenance of equipment like ILRs and cold boxes is needed to ensure vaccine efficacy. Adverse events following immunization are usually minor but can occasionally be more severe.
The cold chain is the system used to transport and store vaccines at the proper temperature from manufacture to use. It is critical to maintain vaccine potency and ensure effective immunization programs. Vaccines must be kept within strict temperature ranges, typically between 2-8°C, and protected from light, to maintain their biological properties and effectiveness. Various equipment like refrigerators, freezers and transport containers with ice packs are used at different levels of the healthcare system to properly handle vaccines throughout the cold chain.
This document provides an overview and analysis of the cold chain logistics sector. It discusses what cold chain logistics is, the history and key breakthroughs in the sector, global and Indian scenarios, value parameters and users. The history section outlines important developments from the 1800s to present day, including early uses of ice for food preservation, innovations in refrigerated transportation, and modern temperature-controlled supply chains. The global section presents facts on cold chain usage and standards in food and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.
