JOURNAL/ARTICLE RESREARCH STUDY

Health Professional Education

GLD.18 Informed consent is obtained before a patient participates in clinical research, clinical
investigations,
or clinical trials.
M.E. q 1. Informed consent is obtained when a patient decides to participate in clinical
research, clinical investigations, or clinical trials.
q 2. The identity of the individual(s) providing the information and obtaining the consent
is noted on the informed consent document and stored in the files for the research
protocol.
q 3. Consent is documented and dated on the informed consent document by signature or
record of verbal consent.
Population - Practitioners and patients of clinical Trail
Patient - Responsibility in ensuring patients
Problem participation in researched be informed
and voluntary
Intervention - Development of preliminary proposal to
improve the quality of informed consent,
based on experimentation with informed
consent in ongoing clinical trials.
- Testing of innovations of informed
consent in realistic context such as clinical
trial
Comparison - In comparison, the study discuses more
about discuss the conceptual, ethical,
organizational, and technical bases for
such an effort.
Outcome - Improvement in the effectiveness of
methods for informing prospective
research volunteers about experimental
studies, thereby enhancing the protection
of their interests.

Patient and Family Education

PFE.4 Health care practitioners caring for the patient collaborate to provide education.
M.E. q 1. Patient and family education is provided collaboratively when indicated.
q 2. Those who provide education have the subject knowledge to do so.
q 4. Those who provide education have the communication skills to do so.

Population - Health Education through Pediatric

Patient diabetes self-management program
Problem - Nurse case manager and multidisciplinary
clinic team, families, and patients, peer
review organization
Intervention - In a health maintenance organization’s
pediatric diabetes self-management
program, a nurse case manager and a
multidisciplinary clinic team provided
education and counseling to empower
families to improve their child’s self-
management of diabetes.
Comparison - Collaboration between family, patient,
and specific organization where provided.
In order to do such health teaching to
families and patients one should attain
knowledge about the health education to
be provided. According to the outcome,
improvement was seen both in the patient
and the parents which means
communication skills where executed
effectively
Outcome - The means of all measures of self-
management improved, as did parents’
self-efficacy beliefs

Facility Management and Safety

FMS.1 The hospital complies with relevant laws, regulations, building and fire safety codes and
facility inspection requirements.
M.E. q 1. Hospital leadership and those responsible for facility management understand the
national and local laws, regulations, building and fire safety codes, and other
requirements applicable to the hospital’s facilities.
q 2. Hospital leadership and those responsible for facility management implement the
national and local laws, regulations, building and fire safety codes, and other
requirements or approved alternatives.
q 3. Hospital leadership ensures that the hospital meets the conditions of facility reports
or citations from inspections by national and local authorities.
Population - Administrator and his team, with the
Patient assistance of the hospital consultant
Problem - Hospital Facilities Planning and
Management
Intervention - Develop a written program covering
numerous documents, activities, policies,
procedures, rules, and regulations aimed
at keeping hospital in readiness to operate
when it opens its doors to general public
Comparison - The list that is provided in the study
indicates areas required activities is rather
elaborate and detailed and requires times.
While some of them will be handled by
the CEO himself, others may be directed
or supervised by him or delegates to his
associates.
Outcome - Implementation of the said program help
achieve in increasing and improving
operational efficiency and effectiveness of
the hospital. It also reduces harm and
error and reduce operational cost
- Ensured a smooth start and effective
utilization of hospital facilities.

FMS.5 The hospital has a program for the inventory, handling, storage, and use of hazardous
materials and waste.
A hazardous materials and waste program is in place that includes identifying and safely
controlling hazardous materials and waste throughout the facility.

Population - Many developing countries, little

Patient information is available regarding
Problem generation, handling and disposal of
hospital waste. This fact hinders the
development and implementation of
hospital waste management schemes.
- Fourteen different healthcare facilities in
three cities, Tripoli, Misurata, and Sirt, all
located in the northwestern part of Libya,
were selected for investigation.
Intervention - This research was conducted in the form
of a case study.
- The objective of the study is to present an
appraisal of the current situation regarding
hospital waste management in Libya.
Procedures, techniques, methods of
handling, and disposal of waste are
presented, as well as the amounts and
compositions of hospital waste.
Comparison - In comparison, the study focuses
specifically in handling and disposal of
hospital waste in general.
Outcome - The investigation showed that the
hospitals surveyed had neither guideline
for separated collection and classification,
nor methods for storage and disposal of
generated waste. This deficiency indicates
the need for an adequate hospital waste
management strategy to improve and
control the existing situation.

FMS.6 The hospital develops, maintains, and tests an emergency management program to
respond to emergencies and natural or other disasters that have the potential of occurring within
the community.
M.E. q 1. The hospital has identified the major internal and external disasters, such as
community emergencies, and natural or other disasters that pose significant risks of
occurring, taking into consideration the hospital’s geographic location.
q 2. The hospital identifies the probable impact that each type of disaster will have on all
aspects of care and services.
q 3. The hospital establishes and implements a disaster program that identifies its
response to likely disasters.

Population - There are no standardized measures of

Patient hospital disaster preparedness or hospital
Problem “surge capacity”.
- Forty‐five 9‐1‐1 receiving hospitals in Los
Angeles County, CA, participated.
Intervention - This was a descriptive, cross‐sectional
survey study, followed by on‐site
verification.
- Evaluations of hospital disaster plan
structure, vendor agreements, modes of
communication, medical and surgical
supplies, involvement of law enforcement,
mutual aid agreements with other
facilities, drills and training, surge
capacity (assessed by monthly emergency
department diversion status, available
beds, ventilators, and isolation rooms),
decontamination capability, and
pharmaceutical stockpiles were assessed
by survey.
Comparison - More on the physical features, manpower,
and trainings for health care providers of
the hospital were focus of the disaster
management.
Outcome - Among hospitals in Los Angeles County,
disaster preparedness and surge capacity
appear to be limited by a failure to fully
integrate interagency training and
planning and a severely limited surge
capacity, although there is a generally
high level of availability of equipment and
supplies.
