Three reasons medication-related errors are easy to study - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > - Prescription drugs are widely used, so there are a
large sample size for people who have adverse effects of the
drugs
- Drug prescriptions are well documented
- Deaths from medication are well recorded
What is an adverse event - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > injuries to patient
that occur while receiving care due to errors in medical
management
Problems that may occur while a patient is receiving care: - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > - Transfusion errors and adverse drug events
- Wrong-site surgery
- Surgical injuries
Direct costs of errors - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > healthcare
expenditures by administration, system, and or patient
Indirect costs of errors - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > related to time,
productivity and disability

✔✔✔ Correct Answer > perioperative medical morbidity & length of
hospitalization
Secondary outcome of the hospitalist- orthopedic team case
study - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > patient and provider satisfaction &
direct costs of hospital care
Inclusion/exclusion criteria defintion - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
parameters for selecting or excluding patients in a study.
Inclusion criteria for hospitalist- orthopedic team case study -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - Patients undergoing elective adult primary or
revision total knee or hip arthroplasties (diagnosis-related group
209).
- Patients at elevated risk for perioperative complications,
specifically those who are older than 75 years with either 1 or
more major comorbid conditions or 2 or more less disabling

Clinical application of the hospitalist- orthopedic team case
study - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > ●Reduce minor medical complications
●Increase the number of patients discharged without
complications
●Lessen hospital lengths of stay
●Increase efficiency by:
○Limiting delays in clinical evaluation, therapy and discharge
●Collect data on patient outcomes
●Similar multidisciplinary team could be applied to different in-
patient settings to achieve better patient-centered care
Background of second paper - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - Infectious
diseases contribute high morbidity and mortality rates in the
United States, leading to increased healthcare costs.
- Timely and appropriate antibiotic administration improves
survival in patients with serious infections
--> One cause of inappropriate antibiotic therapy is complexity of
the prescribing process
Inclusion criteria for second paper - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - During
first 6 months: Patients with significant bacterial resistance were
eligible
- After first phase: eligibility expanded
