Methods: Using healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA), we analyzed the primary cause of patients' pain and subsequently determined the process and risk priority number (RPN). Results: Actions were taken to improve patients' pain. After using HFMEA, the experimental group's visual analog scale (VAS) scores were lower than those of the control group at 1 h and at discharge from the post-anesthetic intensive care unit (PAICU). The differences were statistically significant (P 〈 0.05). Conclusions: The application of failure mode and effect analysis can relieve pain and improve the quality of nursing.展开更多

We examine the effect of a disease uncertainty(a treatment uncertainty) on the allocation of health care resources in the presence of a treatment risk(a disease risk) and identify preference conditions under which the social planner allocates more resources to higher risk population. We allow for the simultaneous presence of two risks and investigate the joint effect of two-source uncertainties on health care allocation when the two risks are either small or positively quadrant dependent. The effect of inequality aversion on health care allocation is also analyzed by introducing an equity weighting function. Our work extends the previous model of health care priority to two-risk framework and provides new insights into the problem of health care decision making under uncertainty.展开更多
