Question

You want to compare the quality of 3 hospitals using three measures 1. severe pressure soars, 2. infection from urinary catheter, 3. falls and injuries

The discharge from these 3 hospitals

Sentara - 20650 -     Riverside - 15020      Bonsecours - 18500

severe pressure soars : Sentara - 5     Riverside - 8    BonSecours - 1

Infection from urinary catheter: Sentara - 20     Riverside 30      Bonsecours 40

falls and injuries: Sentara - 21     Riverside   5         Bonsecours 12

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Calculate incidence rate of pressure sores for Sentara =

2. Calculate incidence rate of pressure sores for Riverside =

3. Calculate incidence rate of pressure sores for Bon Secours =

4. Calculate incidence rate of Infection from urinary catheters for Sentara =

5. Calculate incidence rate of Infection from urinary catheters for Riverside =

6. Calculate incidence rate of Infection from urinary catheters for Bon Secours =

7. Calculate incidence rate of Falls and injuries for Sentara =

8. Calculate incidence rate of Falls and injuries for Riverside =

9. Calculate incidence rate of Falls and injuries for Bon Secours =

PLEASE ROUND ALL ANSWERS TO 100th DECIMAL POINT (2 places after decimal) AND EXPRESS __/1000

Answer 1

INCIDENCE RATE =( NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO DEVELOPED PROBLM IN CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME ÷ TOTAL NUMBER OF PATIENTS IN GIVEN PERIOD OF TIME) ×100

THUS

1.Icidence rate of pressure sore in Sentara = (patients developed pressure sore÷ total patients) ×100

( 5 ÷ 20650) × 100 = 0.02

(0.02×1000=20)

=20/1000 patients

2 .Incidence rate of pressure sore in Riverside =patients developed pressure sore in riverside =8

Total number of patients =15020

( Parients developed pressure sore ÷ total number of patients) ×100

=( 8 ÷15020) × 100=0.05

=50/1000 patients

3.Incidence rate of pressure sore in Bon Secours = patients developed pressure sore in BonSecours=1

Total number of patients =18500

incidence rate=(1÷18500) ×100 = 0.005

=5/1000 patients

4.Incidence rate of infection from urinary cateter for sentara = paiients developed infection=20

total patients =20650

Incidence rate = (20÷ 20650 ) ×100 =0.09

90/1000 patients

5. Incidence rate of infection from urinary catheter for Riverside = patients developed infection=30

total patients=15020

Incidence rate = (30÷15020) ×100=0.19

=190/1000 patients

6. Incidence rate of infecnce rate infection from urinary catheter for Bon Secours= patients developed infection =40

Total patients = 18500

Incidence rate= (40÷ 18500) ×100=0.002

=210/1000 patients

7.Incidence rate of falls and injuriesforSentara = Patients developed falls and injuries =21

Total patients =20650

Incidence rate = (21÷20650) ×100 =0.10

=100/1000 patients

8 .Incidence rate of falls and injuries for Riverside = patients developed falls and injuries =5

Total patients =15020

Incidence rate =(5÷15020) ×100 =0.03

=30 /1000 patients

9 Incidence rate of falls and injuries in Bon Secours = patients developed falls and injuries =12

Total patients=18500

Incidence rate = ( 12÷18500) ×100=0.06

=60/1000 patients
