A “heart attack” is usually identified among cardiologists as an “ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction”. Fast and effective care is a necessity when treating patients suffering from heart attacks, and the unit of measurement used by hospital administrators and cardiologists to gauge how long a patient has been inside the hospital before receiving heart attack treatment with a catheter guidewire or “balloon” is called “door-to-balloon” or DTB time.

Patient safety subsets of efficient work process, patient room design, accessibility and visibility, and maintaining sterility were explored further following a smaller study using similar patient safety scales. This study used an electronic disbursement of a patient safety questionnaire to intensive care unit (ICU) nurses to increase the sample size from the original study. This larger study also took nurse characteristics into account, which the original study had not assessed.

Noise in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can be a primary factor for stress for preterm infants, their family, and staff. High sound levels can potentially harm sensorineural systems of the infants. Literature shows that low background sounds are crucial to neurological development of preterm infants.

Literature indicates that the steady increase in the demand for radiological services in the past several years has not been matched by a proportionate increase in the number of radiologists. The authors cite literature stating that patients wait long periods for outpatient radiological services. Healthcare system managers believe that optimizing productivity of radiologists could help address...
