    The impact of surgical simulation on patient outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

    No full text
    The use of simulation in surgical training is ever growing. Evidence suggests such training may have beneficial clinically relevant effects. The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of surgical simulation training on clinically relevant patient outcomes by evaluating randomized controlled trials (RCT). PubMed was searched using PRISMA guidelines: “surgery” [All Fields] AND “simulation” [All Fields] AND “patient outcome” [All Fields]. Of 119 papers identified, 100 were excluded for various reasons. Meta-analyses were conducted using the inverse-variance random-effects method. Nineteen papers were reviewed using the CASP RCT Checklist. Sixteen studies looked at surgical training, two studies assessed patient-specific simulator practice, and one paper focused on warming-up on a simulator before performing surgery. Median study population size was 22 (range 3–73). Most articles reported outcome measures such as post-intervention Global Rating Scale (GRS) score and/or operative time. On average, the intervention group scored 0.42 (95% confidence interval 0.12 to 0.71, P = 0.005) points higher on a standardized GRS scale of 1–10. On average, the intervention group was 44% (1% to 87%, P = 0.04) faster than the control group. Four papers assessed the impact of simulation training on patient outcomes, with only one finding a significant effect. We found a significant effect of simulation training on operative performance as assessed by GRS, albeit a small one, as well as a significant reduction to operative time. However, there is to date scant evidence from RCTs to suggest a significant effect of surgical simulation training on patient outcomes

    Implementering av nye retningslinjer for behandling og oppfølging av pasienter med subklinisk hypotyreose i allmennpraksis

    Vi vil i dette kvalitetsforbedringsprosjektet ta for oss oppdaterte retningslinjer fra BMJ vedrørende behandling og oppfølging av pasienter med “subklinisk” hypotyreose. Retningslinjene legger opp til en mer tilbakeholden forskrivning av thyreoideahormon-substitutt (levotyroksin) enn tidligere, for en selektert gruppe av asymptomatiske pasienter med unormale blodprøver (forhøyet TSH, normal fritt-T4). Vi legger en strategi for implementering av disse i et mellomstort fastlegekontor i Oslo, vårt mikrosystem. Med en prevalens av alle former for hypotyreose på mellom 3-9% i den norske befolkning, og med levotyroksin som en av de mest forskrevne medikamentene i Norge, mener vi der er et betydelig potensiale for samfunnsøkonomiske besparelser ved å få en mer målrettet og treffsikker medikamentell behandling. Derfor vil vi vurdere nye retningslinjer og planlegge en evidensbasert implementering i et konkret legekontor i Oslo-området, vårt mikrosystem. Vi utførte et pyramidesøk i McMaster PLUS, tilgjengelig fra helsebiblioteket.no. Retningslinjen vi har lagt til grunn for oppgaven baserer seg på en systematisk oversikt som inneholder 21 randomiserte kliniske studier, med totalt 2192 pasienter. Vi har vurdert kvaliteten på den systematiske oversikten og holdt innholdet i denne opp mot andre, ofte eldre, retningslinjer. Vårt mikrosystem er et middels stort legesenter i Oslo med 5 allmennlegespesialister. Til vanlig bruker de NEL sine retningslinjer. De er villige til å endre praksis for behandling av subklinisk hypothyreose for pasientenes beste og for bedre utnyttelse av ressurser. Tiltak vi ønsker å gjennomføre for å endre praksis er å ha et fagmøte med legesenteret og å innføre daglige påminnelser om den nye retningslinjen. Prosessindikatoren vi har valgt er 100% nedgang i antall pasienter som starter opp med levotyroksin på seks måneder hos pasienter over 30 år som ikke er gravide eller ønsker å bli gravide hos de som har TSH under 20 og normal T4. I forbindelse med implementering av de nye retningslinjene vil vi etablere en prosjektgruppe bestående av en av forfatterne som inntar rollen som prosjektleder, en helsesekretær fra fastlegekontoret, en laboratorie-representant for faglig rådgivning og en fastlege fra vårt mikrosystem som en lokal leder. Vi bygger implementeringen på PUKK-sirkelen og er forberedt på barrierer og motstand i forbindelse med innføring og har rom for noe fleksibilitet of korreksjon underveis. En endring i fastlegens praksis vil være økonomisk og praktisk lite ressurskrevende i et lite mikrosystem. Fordelene med å redusere nyforskrivning av levotyroksin vil være mange, blant annet redusert overbehandling, ressurssparing, mindre sykeliggjøring av pasienter og lavere risiko for polyfarmasi og bivirkninger. For å kunne starte endringen, vil man være avhengig av personlig motivasjon hos fastlegene i mikrosystemet, som gjør dette prosjektet noe sårbart

    Balancing budgets: tough choices we need

    This report argues that a reform package could add about 37billionayeartoAustraliangovernmentbudgetsandhelptotackleAustraliasgrowingbudgetcrisis.OverviewAustraliangovernmentsmustmaketoughchoicestobalancetheirbudgets.Theyfaceadecadeofdeficits,theresultofbigticketspendinginitiatives,risinghealthcosts,pressureonwelfarebudgetsandaninevitablefallinthetermsoftrade.Collectivelythesecouldleadtodeficitsof4percentofGDP,or37 billion a year to Australian government budgets and help to tackle Australia’s growing budget crisis.OverviewAustralian governments must make tough choices to balance their budgets. They face a decade of deficits, the result of big ticket spending initiatives, rising health costs, pressure on welfare budgets and an inevitable fall in the terms of trade. Collectively these could lead to deficits of 4 per cent of GDP, or 60 billion in today’s terms, within a decade.Tough choices cannot be put off indefinitely. Deficits impose heavy costs on the next generation in terms of debt and high interest payments. Government budgets cannot simply grow out of trouble, and the next decade may well be economically more difficult than the last.History shows that governments that successfully repair their budgets make the public case for reform, and start early on the hard work of cutting expenditure and raising taxes. They design a package of measures that share the burden of reform fairly across the community.This report surveys all realistic proposals that could contribute 2billionayearormoretogovernmentbudgets.Itputsapriorityonreformsthatarebigenoughtomakeadifferencebutdonothaveunacceptableeconomicandsocialeffects.Onereformpackagecouldadd2 billion a year or more to government budgets. It puts a priority on reforms that are big enough to make a difference but do not have unacceptable economic and social effects.One reform package could add 37 billion a year to the federal budget. It would broaden the GST to include fresh food and private spending on health and education; raise the age of access to superannuation and the Age Pension; remove the exemption for owner-occupied housing from the assets test for the Age Pension; and limit tax concessions on superannuation contributions. The burden of these changes would be spread across rich and poor, workers and retirees. While all these reforms are unlikely to occur at once, it will be hard to close the looming budget gap without tackling any of them.Structural reform of benefits and tax exemptions for older Australians offer many of the best opportunities for budget reform. They are the least-well targeted parts of our tax and welfare system, with some benefits going to people that don’t need them.Substantial budget repair almost always involves tax reform. Increasing fuel excise in line with inflation would raise significant revenue, although it hits those with low incomes particularly hard. Higher rates of existing taxes could raise large revenues. Raising the GST and municipal rates would slow economic growth less than other tax increases.Plausible reductions in spending on transport infrastructure, industry support, school class sizes, higher education subsidies, pharmaceuticals, health services, and defence could collectively improve budget positions by $23 billion per year. But the execution risks are high – there would be unacceptable economic and social effects unless the cuts were executed unusually well. By contrast, the oft-cited cuts to the public service and ‘middle class welfare’ can do relatively little to improve budget balances.Sustainable budgets depend on governments making tough choices. None will be politically easy, but making some of them is vital to Australia’s prosperity
