Use of conditional medical orders to minimize moral, ethical, and legal risk in critical care
AbstractRisk managers and ethicists monitor adherence to codes of conduct in the delivery of medical services and proactively participate with providers to create protocols that minimize the moral, ethical, and legal risks inherent in many commonly used medical protocols. “Code/no code” medical orders work well for patients at the extremes who always or never want to undergo a procedure, but they create troubling uncertainties for others by preventing them from expressly requesting procedures under some circumstances but not others.

AbstractAs one of the initial ten sites in Ohio designated to receive and distribute the first COVID-19 vaccines in December 2020, we initiated a self-reported IRB-approved research survey to describe the demographics, side-effects, and missed work time experienced by front-line health care workers in an urban tertiary care center and a rural regional hospital. First responders from both the urban and rural surrounding communities were also included in the initial Tier 1A vaccine distribution.

The COVID ?19 outbreak in Saudi Arabia and the impact on patient safety incident reports: An empirical study among the medical facilities of Qassim health cluster
AbstractCOVID-19 outbreak in Saudi Arabia (SA) has placed substantial challenges on its health care system, which raised our concern about the possible influence on patient safety culture. Therefore, this study aimed to provide empirical evidence on how the COVID-19 outbreak impacted patient safety incident reports (PSIRs) among the Qassim Health Cluster (QHC) in SA. This retrospective study assessed a total of 23,481 inpatient PSIRs from 22 medical facilities. We compared data on PSIRs between COVID-19 period (March �July 2020) and a comparable pre-COVID-19 period (March�July 2019). PSIRs were classified according to �Sau...
