Public Health Problem II: Examine the association between health
provider burnout and hospital re-admissions. Hypothesis: Health
care provider burnout increases the likelihood of hospital
re-admissions for patients
This will be a retrospective cohort study to determine if there’s a
correlation between provider burnout and an increase likelihood of
hospital re-admissions for patients
we will measure instances of patient readmissions with a group of
hospital providers that are staffed appropriately and with an
abundance of resources vs a group of providers who are overwhelmed,
understaffed and under resourced
Describe potential threats to validity. Describe what techniques
you will use to minimize each threat. Be sure to delineate the
potential impact of each threat on your observed results
- Nondifferential misclassification of the exposure
- Nondifferential misclassification of the disease
- Confounding
- Selection bias
- Information bias
- Generalizability

Mr. B Mr. B, a 70-year-old male client, presented to his primary care physician with complaints of blurred vision and headaches over the last two months. On several visits, Mr. B's blood pressure was found to be elevated, so the physician started him on hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg by mouth daily. One month later, Mr. B began to have chest pains and shortness of breath, so his primary care provider referred Mr. B to a cardiologist for further evaluation. The cardiologist ordered an echocardiogram and stress test which revealed heart enlargement and a reduced ejection fraction (volume of blood pumped out of the heart per minute). As a result, the cardiologist started Mr. B on a beta-blocker (metoprolol 25 mg by mouth daily). A few days after taking the new medication (in addition to the hydrochlorothiazide ordered by the primary physician), Mr. B suffered a fall at home. Upon arrival at the emergency room, Mr. B's blood pressure was 80/50. The emergency room physician suspected the cause of Mr. B's fall was hypotension secondary to the medications he was taking. The ER physician recommended that Mr. B follow up with his primary care physician and cardiologist, but hold the medication until seen by them. As recommended, Mr. B visits his primary care physician for a
follow-up. During the visit, Mr. B's blood pressure is found to be
elevated (160/90), so his physician tells Mr. B to restart taking
his blood pressure medication. |
Imagine that you are the nurse attending to Mr. B and that he indicates that he's afraid to restart the medication because of his recent fall.

Mr. D Mr. D is a 90-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital with complaints of nausea, vomiting, left arm pain, and chest pain. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed, and he is diagnosed as having a myocardial infarction. Mr. D has a long history of comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, and congestive heart failure (CHF). With this in mind, the physician asks Mr. D if he wants life-sustaining measures taken (e.g., CPR, mechanical ventilation, etc.) should he experience cardiopulmonary arrest. Mr. D tells the physician that he wants all measures taken to save his life. |
