Avoiding “Never Events”: How the Library Can Help

The current NQF list has 3-6 serious reportable adverse events in each category, making the list a total of 28 “never events.” Every institution that provides health care wants to deliver excellent patient care, quality service, and achieve positive outcomes. However, not all things are preventable. A sure way to improve, minimize, or completely avoid these “never events” is to examine the external evidence in the medical literature and combine it with your clinical expertise to implement strategies and practices that will eliminate or nearly eradicate the occurrences of these events.

The library can assist in your efforts to provide quality care by creating subject guides, conducting searches of evidence-based practice, or providing current articles and updates relative to the topic of “never events.” In the next several years we will see a significant increase of published research, innovations, and practice guidelines pertaining to preventing “never events.” The library is committed to keeping abreast of these knowledge resources and making them accessible.

Banner Baywood Library Website

The Banner Baywood Campus library is now online at www.bbmclibrary.wordpress.com A variety of resources are available such as links to databases, online journal access, online catalogs, medical news, and library updates. Also, embedded on the site are current table of content feeds for the following journals: Journal of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine, American Journal of Nursing, Archives of Internal Medicine, and The Lancet. These table of contents feeds are available on the right side-bar of the library’s website. Just click on the journal title and you can browse the current issues’ article abstracts. If you are interested in obtaining the full-text for any article or the table of contents for other journals, please contact the librarian.

New Items

The library has acquired new books though purchases as well as a generous donation from BBMC Chief Medical Officer, Larry Spratling, M.D. Thanks for your generous donation and contribution to medical excellence through knowledge! Visit the website periodically to view updates to the library collection.

Copyright Clearance Center

Banner Health has an annual copyright license through the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC). This license allows widespread coverage for Banner employees to legally share published material without violating any intellectual property rights of copyright owners. Under the annual copyright license you are permitted to:

· Collaborate with co-workers by e-mailing, photocopying or posting information on intranet sites.

· Share articles and other content in internal company newsletters, training materials and presentations.

· Distribute news from Web sites, newspapers and industry journals to sales teams and customer service groups.

Source from: http://www.copyright.com/ccc/viewPage.do?pageCode=bu13

CASE SCENARIO#1 : You wrote an article that is published in The New England Journal of Medicine. You would like to distribute 250 copies to your fellow co-workers during a presentation of your article topic. Is this allowable under Banner’s CCC license? Yes. Please note that the license permits sharing copies to co-workers only. Had this been a presentation to an audience of non co-workers, then you would be violating copyright law.

CASE SCENARIO#2: The American College of Cardiology has just published guidelines on “Perioperative Cardiovascular Evaluation and Care for Noncardiac Surgery” and you would like to make this available on the company’s Intranet site. Is this permissible? Yes. Please note, sharing the content is allowable only on the company’s INTRAnet and not the company’s public website.

CASE SCENARIO#3: You are giving a PowerPoint presentation to a group of cardiologists on a case study about a patient that was shot in the heart. You feel that an audio clip of Bon Jovi’s, “You Give Love a Bad Name”, with it’s famous lyrics of “…shot through the heart…” will perfectly enhance your presentation. Can you do this? No. Please note that Banner’s license with the CCC does not cover copyright protected works of music, movies, photographs, or software. Please see CCC’s website for resources on obtaining permission for non-text works at: Copyright Central

There are so many scenarios to consider. When in doubt consult the CCC’s website and search for the material in question at: www.copyright.com. Or, contact the librarian for more information and additional resources.

Avoiding “Never Events”: How the Library Can Help

Bryan — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:30:18 +0000

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) will begin their new payment and reimbursement policies for patients discharged on or after October 1, 2008. The new policy includes a list of several conditions identified by the National Quality Forum (NQF) referred to as “never events,” that the CMS will no longer provide reimbursement payments if these events occur. The events have been categorized into 6 groups: Surgical Events, Product or Device Events, Patient Protection Events, Care Management Events, Environment Events, and Criminal Events. The current NQF list has 3-6 serious reportable adverse events in each category, making the list a total of 28 “never events.” Every institution that provides health care wants to deliver excellent patient care, quality service, and achieve positive outcomes. However, not all things are preventable. A sure way to improve, minimize, or completely avoid these “never events” is to examine the external evidence in the medical literature and combine it with your clinical expertise to implement strategies and practices that will eliminate or nearly eradicate the occurrences of these events.

Research Assistance and Instruction

Bryan — Thu, 01 May 2008 17:44:45 +0000

Have you considered utilizing the librarian for help in your research efforts? The Banner Baywood medical librarian is skilled at searching the vast medical literature available in a wide variety of databases. Research assistance is provided to staff here at Baywood and the Heart Hospital on an extensive range of topics from: mitral valve repair, mrsa infection control, limiting IV insertion pain, rapid response teams, chest pain units, nursing education, guidelines for surgical procedures, and many more. If you need help searching the medical literature on any topic, contact the librarian. Also, if you prefer to do your own searching but would like some additional training or tips on how to conduct more effective searches in databases such as PubMed, OVID, EBSCO or the Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews, the librarian can provide one-on-one or group training. Of course, anytime that you have already found the citations you need for your research or project, but don’t have access to the full-text, contact the library and we will get the full-text articles for you. The library is an excellent resource for your information needs and a librarian is available in person, Monday through Thursday, 8am to 4:30pm.

Social Bookmarking

Bryan — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 21:24:27 +0000

Social bookmarking is an easy way to manage your “favorites.” Instead of having your favorites only accessible on one computer, you can now access them anywhere, anytime with social bookmarking sites such as del.icio.us. Social bookmarking sites use “tagging” as opposed to folders for organizing your favorites. The true benefit though, is the ability to peer into other peoples favorites and see how others are organizing similar “favorites.” This social method of saving favorites is beneficial to the medical community. Users can quickly browse medical related websites by sorting through tags or grouped tags and easlily find clusters of relevant information. A librarian could put together a pathfinder or a bibliographic resource page together for their patrons on any particluar topic. The medical staff at a hospital could compile article references, web sites, and other resources in one area so that they will never forget where those resources are. They could refer back to their social bookmarking site to remember what sources they used to make clinical decisions or implement new processes. Connotea is a site specifically for clinicians, scientists, and researches that allows them to share and save scholarly references. Social bookmarking sites are becoming a tool and can prove quite useful in medical librarianship and the medical community.

New Hands-Only CPR Guidelines

Bryan — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:58:32 +0000

The American Heart Association (AHA) has released new guidelines on cardiopulmonary resuscitation for adults who unexpectedly stop breathing, collapse, and are unresponsive. It is no longer necessary to administer mouth to mouth, but instead, fast chest compressions are critical for the individual’s survival. The best thing you can do for an adult that has unexpectedly collapsed is call 911 and immediately start pushing hard and fast on the person’s chest until help arrives.

LinkedIn – Useful Social Networking Site for Professionals

Bryan — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 18:03:08 +0000

LinkedIn – is a social networking site geared towards working professionals. The service provides users with the ability to keep a list of contacts and professionals that they know in their industry. Users create profiles and publish their work history and education history for others to browse. Users can search for specific people, by company, university attendance dates, position titles, and more. It also allows users to connect to others via “invitations” and network with those individuals. Many use the site for reconnecting with old friends, but also as a means of developing a professional resource network; a place they can turn to for expertise in any particular field. LinkedIn is also used for job searching and recruiting. Many Human Resource directors use LinkedIn as a way of recruiting new talent. LinkedIn is one of many social networking sites, but this author prefers it to Facebook or Myspace for professional activity and development.
