Hospital closures promote latent factors putting patients at risk for medical errors. Our goal was to maintain safe patient care in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) by preventing any increase in neonatal mortality or hospital-based complications prior to hospital closure.
Interventions included expanding TeamSTEPPS huddles and Leadership Wal...

Objectives
The aim of this study was to describe the use of standard concentrations for continuous infusion drugs in Spanish neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Methods
We conducted an observational multicentre study based on a survey sent by email to 9 Spanish NICUs during January and February 2018. We collected data on intravenous drugs frequ...

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 exposed numerous issues around healthcare availability. Data was collected for 151 rural hospital closures from 2005 to current. From the year of establishment (i.e., open year) until the closure was considered as time to failure (TTF). This research explored if factors like rural-urban commuting area (RUCA), number of beds, open year, and Medicare payment type affect TTF of rural hospitals. Medicare payment was a categorical variable, and the other three variables were continuous. The hypothesis was tested using multiple regression. The results showed that there were no significant correlations of rural hospital TTF with RUCA, number of beds, or Medicare payment type. However, open year was found to be significant. The mean open year was determined to be the year 1966 and the mean TTF was 48 years. Reasons for the hospital closures are discussed. The study is useful for hospital managers and policy makers.
