Troubling New Report on Hospital Infections Comes While the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Considers Discontinuing Publicly Reporting Rates
Troubling New Report on Hospital Infections Comes While the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Considers Discontinuing Publicly Reporting Rates
Each day, one out of 25 hospital patients in the U.S. contracts a healthcare-associated infection (HAI), resulting in billions of wasted dollars and an alarming 90,000 deaths annually. Unfortunately, a new report published by The Leapfrog Groupand analyzed by Castlight Healthshows that the percent of hospitals achieving zero infections has declined dramatically since 2015, indicating many patients are still at risk.
Squamous cell Carcinoma
Squamous cell Carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the second most common form of skin cancer, is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells arising from the squamous cells in the epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer. It is sometimes called cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) to differentiate it from very different kinds of SCCs elsewhere in the body. Cutaneous is the scientific word for “related to or affecting the skin.”

A new approach can take patient safety to the next level
A new approach can take patient safety to the next level
For many hospitals and health care systems, improving safety means being alert to things that go wrong, finding out why they happened, and fixing them. While this is a helpful approach, adding a new one aimed at anticipating errors can take patient safety to an entirely new level.

Vascular Mortality Declining in Adults With Diabetes in the United States
Vascular disease mortality rates are declining in the United States, which is leading to a diversification of types of diabetes-related mortality, according to results published in theLancet.
Several nonvascular, noncancer causes of death, including renal disease, influenza, pneumonia, sepsis, and chronic liver disease, were significantly higher among adults with diabetes compared with adults without diabetes.
