JCI is the world’s leader in health care accreditation and the author and evaluator of the most rigorous international standards in quality and patient safety.
hospital_220_a
With its newly published 5th edition of JCI’s Accreditation Standards for Hospitals, JCI addresses the unique concerns of hospitals and academic medical centers, as well as the challenges of preserving quality care as patients move from inpatient to outpatient and other care providers.
Our unique tracer methodology provides the cornerstone of the JCI on-site survey, serving as a tool for surveyors and health care organizations to evaluate patients and systems in unprecedented depth. JCI separates itself from its competitors with innovations network accreditation, where similar organizations within a single system or larger entity can achieve accreditation efficiently through a single network application.
JCI is committed to keeping pace with the dynamics of global health care while remaining the standard bearer for its universally recognized Gold Seal of Approval®.
Rigorous process for developing international standards
Due to the expertise and scope of its international team, JCI is uniquely positioned to adapt leading global practices to the delivery of local care. Standards are developed and organized around important functions common to all health care organizations. In fact, the functional organization of standards is now the most widely used around the world and has been validated by scientific study, testing, and application.
Standards Advisory Panel
To maintain best practices, JCI turns to its Standards Advisory Panel, comprised of experienced physicians, nurses, administrators, and public-policy experts. The panel guides the development and revision process of the JCI accreditation standards. Panel members are from five major world regions: Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific Rim, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. The panel’s recommendations are refined based on an international field review of the standards and input from experts and others with unique content knowledge.

Patient’s experience, improve the quality health3zsaddique
Putting patients first requires more than world-class clinical care – it requires care that addresses every aspect of a patient’s encounter with Hospital, including the patient’s physical comfort, as well as their educational, emotional, and spiritual needs. A team of professionals should serves as an advisory resource for critical initiatives across the Hospital health system. In addition, it should provide resources and data analytics; identify, support, and publish sustainable best practices; and collaborate with a variety of departments to ensure the consistent delivery of patient-centered care.

Aims and objectives. To quantify quantitative outcomes of a practice change to a
blended form of bedside nursing report.
Background. The literature identifies several benefits of bedside nursing shift
report. However, published studies have not adequately quantified outcomes
related to this process change, having either small or unreported sample sizes or
not testing for statistical significance.
Design. Quasi-experimental pre- and postimplementation design.
Methods. Seven medical-surgical units in a large university hospital implemented a
blend of recorded and bedside nursing report. Outcomes monitored included patient
and nursing satisfaction, patient falls, nursing overtime and medication errors.
Results. We found statistically sig ...

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

-Pain
-Potty
-Possessions
-Pathway
-Pumps
5. “Is there anything I can do for you
before I leave? I have time to do it.”
“Someone will be back in an hour to
see how you are doing.”
6. When To Do Hourly Rounding
Every hour when the patient is
awake
Don’t wake the patient if sleeping
Every two hours at night
7. Where To Do Hourly Rounding
Any where the patient will be roomed for over an hour
while at the Children’s Hospital

All Units
All Areas
8. WHY Do Hourly Rounding
Patient satisfaction
Pressure ulcers
Less falls
Less use of call lights
Nursing satisfaction
9. “Rounding has helped me with prioritization.” –Staff RN
“I feel as though team work immediately improved.” –Staff RN
“Hourly rounding allows me to be proactive versus reactive,
Instead of the daily work controlling me, rounding lets me
control the work.” –Staff RN
“I love it there, someone is always checking on me.” –Patient
“We actually felt as if our brother was the only patient on the
floor. Everyone kept checking on him constantly.” –Patient
family.
10. How To Do Hourly Rounding
Train staff
Charts (rounding log)
White boards
Include rounding as a regular staff meeting agenda
Reward and recognize staff for their efforts
11. “I have had dozens of ED leaders tell me that they never
thought they would get their staff to make hourly rounds.
Yet, once staff saw the benefits, they got on board quickly
and would never consider going back.”
“Once a nurse goes into a patient’s treatment room during
hourly rounds and finds a patient not breathing or climbing
over a bed rail, he or she will be a believer for life. Hourly
rounds keep patients safe.”
