Mashup Score: 44Palliative Care as a Component of High-Value and Cost-Saving Care During Hospitalization for Metastatic Cancer - 2 month(s) ago
PURPOSE Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that palliative care (PC) can improve quality of life and survival for outpatients with advanced cancer, but there are limited population-based data on the value of inpatient PC. We assessed PC as a component of high-value care among a nationally representative sample of inpatients with metastatic cancer and identified hospitalization characteristics significantly associated with high costs. METHODS Hospitalizations of patients 18 years and older with a primary diagnosis of metastatic cancer from the National Inpatient Sample from 2010 to 2019 were analyzed. We used multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression to assess medical services, patient demographics, and hospital characteristics associated with higher charges billed to insurance and hospital costs. Generalized linear mixed-effects models were used to determine cost savings associated with provision of PC. RESULTS Among 397,691 hospitalizations from 2010 to 2019, the med

Mashup Score: 12Improving Time to Antibiotic Administration for Pediatric Oncology Patients With New-Onset Fever - 2 month(s) ago
PURPOSE Time to antibiotic administration (TTA) in <60 minutes for children with neutropenic fever presenting to an emergency room is associated with reduced incidence of sepsis and intensive care admission. As such, TTA is used as a national quality metric for pediatric oncology patients. At our center, in 2020, 19% of the hospitalized patients with a new fever encounter were receiving antibiotics in 90% in all pediatric patients with cancer with a new fever. METHODS A multidisciplinary team completed four Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles between March 2021 and September 2023. We implemented education initiatives, an updated handoff smartphrase guiding the on-call team, an antibiotic champion (AC) nursing role, a revised fever plan for handoff, a rapid-response team to address new fevers, and an algorithm for blood culture collection. Data were collected, analyzed, and reported biweekly with feedback sought for delays in
