Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between perceptions of safety and culture among NICU staff with medical error reporting behaviors. Results showed that while respiratory therapists and nurses had similar safety attitude scores, there were differences in job satisfaction and stress levels. Overall, NICU staff were more likely to report major medical errors.

Summary: The objective of this study was to estimate the direct medical cost per episode and the annual cost for acute diarrhea in children under five in Ambulatory Care Centers of the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador. The study found that a high proportion of the direct medical cost of acute diarrhea in children under five in outpatient settings is due to unnecessary laboratory tests.

Summary: This article aims to detect and determine the barriers to teaching in ambulatory care clinic settings using qualitative analysis. The main findings reveal that students perceive faculty, environment, and patients as the top barriers, while faculty view environment, patients, and faculty themselves as the main obstacles.

Summary: This paper describes an empirical study that compared the human error outcomes between two novice groups of medical students performing Arterial Blood Gas collection. The results showed that students who had undertaken the VR clinical skills training recorded 40% less errors during a simulated practical than the control group. The contributions of this study are demonstrating the viability and effectiveness of VR-based clinical skills training, gaining insights into the nature of human error in VR training, and the usefulness of prospective and retrospective error analyses in the iterative design of VR procedural training.

Summary: Research shows that there is a higher rate of psychotic disorder diagnoses among people of color, especially individuals of African descent. This study aimed to examine the ambulatory care visits diagnosed with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders among different racial/ethnic groups. The findings revealed significant racial disparities in the diagnosis of these disorders, with Black individuals being disproportionately affected, particularly in the cases of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of digoxin among atrial fibrillation patients in outpatient visits in the US from 2006 to 2015. The analysis included adult patient visits to office-based physicians using the NAMCS database. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze the use of digoxin and identify predictors. The percentage of visits with digoxin usage declined during the study period, and predictors of digoxin use included female sex, congestive heart failure, and a higher number of concurrent medications.

Summary: This study describes a new medical student elective course designed to teach students about diagnostic error. The elective received positive evaluations from students, with many highlighting the benefits of exposure to new topics, mentorship by radiologists, and the ability to complete projects in a short time. The course raised awareness of diagnostic error among students and could be easily replicated at other institutions with interested faculty and medical school support.

Summary: Safety incidents were identified and analyzed in a German NICU over a 6-month period, with medication errors and equipment problems being the most commonly reported issues. The majority of incidents were deemed preventable, with suggestions for improvement focused on the implementation of computer-assisted tools and processes for enhancing care quality.

Summary: The literature review on medication safety in primary care during the electronic health record era revealed inconsistent and highly variable outcomes. Most studies focused on high-risk populations rather than the general population. While potential harms were studied, there was poor correlation with actual harms.

Summary: This paper presents a case study of COVID-19 and proposes two Rolling Horizon-based Cubic Grey Models (RCGMs). The models are developed using time series data from different locations and yield satisfactory results compared to conventional and advanced grey models. The paper also provides recommendations for decision making in tough times.

Summary: By investigating the categorization, definition, and study of errors in surgical disciplines, it was found that there is a wide variation in the reported prevalence of errors due to a lack of standardized categorization, definitions, and study methods. Future research should focus on promptly recognizing errors to minimize harm.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the rate of unplanned hospital visits among patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. The results showed that the risk-adjusted 30-day rate of unplanned hospital visits after same-day surgery was 4.8%, with emergency department visits at 3.1% and hospital admissions at 1.7%. Factors such as age, sex, number of comorbidities, and type of procedure were associated with increased risk of unplanned hospital visits.

Summary: Medication administration errors are common in home settings, especially with the use of liquid preparations and complex medication schedules; these errors disproportionately affect children with chronic conditions. Strategies to reduce home medication errors include improving provider prescribing practices, implementing health literacy-informed counseling strategies, reviewing medication lists, provider training, and other measures.
