Background: Prior research has shown that primary care clinicians (PCPs) spend a large portion of clinic visits on tasks within the electronic health record (EHR). However, no time allocation studies have been done in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and little is known about EHR time spent during virtual visits.
Objective: To estimate the proportion of clinician time spent working within the EHR during primary care visits at VHA clinics.
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is often unsuspected by treating clinicians. Since the adoption of clinical prediction scores for PE and the widespread availability of computed tomography (CT)-pulmonary angiogram, there are few reports of clinical presentations of hospitalized patients who died of PE.
Objectives: To compare the clinical signs, symptoms, and comorbidities of hospitalized patients who died of PE for whom PE was suspected versus not suspected antemortem.
Article Synopsis
- Early work experiences for newly hired nurses can significantly affect their job performance and overall well-being, particularly in high-stakes environments like healthcare.
- A study in Ghana involving 36 newly hired nurses revealed that their experiences were marked by high stress but also fulfillment, contradicting their initial expectations and highlighting various stressors and support resources.
- The research suggests that while the work environment is challenging, factors like faith, family support, and limited job alternatives motivate these nurses to remain in their positions, leading to a recommendation for tailored employee assistance programs to aid their emotional and psychological needs.
