Santo Domingo.– El Centro de Investigación en Educación y Desarrollo Humano (CIED-HUMANO) de la Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) presentó un análisis de PISA 2025, enfocado no solo en la posición de República Dominicana frente a otros países, sino también en lo que reflejan los propios estudiantes sobre el sistema educativo nacional. El análisis fue presentado durante el foro…

View abstract Objective:Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations are common and expensive. Tracking post-surgical infections of these devices is a key component of monitoring health system performance and ensuring high quality care. Given human resource constraints with traditional infection prevention and control (IPC) programs, CIED infections cannot be systemically monitored in many jurisdictions. This project endeavored to implement a policy change in Alberta, Canada, using administrative data for tracking CIED infection trends over time.Methods:Prior work validated the use of administrative data to track CIED infections. The current work focused on exploring policy options to optimize this use of administrative data and elicit feedback from knowledge users/operational leaders via a workshop and electronic communications. Options for presentation and communication modalities of data including quarterly reports or Tableau dashboards were explored.Results:Based on consensus from the workshop and subsequent electronic communications, three policy options were provided along with a recommended choice as well as preferred reporting options. The final options were all included in a policy brief provided to operational leadership. Ultimately, the recommended approaches of using administrative data for surveillance were accepted resulting in a policy change for CIED infection surveillance in Alberta that is currently being implemented and evaluated.Conclusions:CIED infections are a devastating complication following implantation. Administrative data may offer an alternative to traditional IPC surveillance given constrained resources. Engagement and presentation of evidence-based policy options resulted in the adoption of a novel data driven policy in Alberta for CIED infection surveillance.

The clinical and microbiological profile of CIED infections in this single-center southern Chilean cohort was broadly consistent with international series. Per-procedure proportions for ICDs and CRT devices...

We're revolutionizing cardiac data by providing building blocks for comprehensive remote care. Explore solutions for CIED (implantable) and RPM (physiological) monitoring.

In this contemporary, nationally representative ICD-10 era cohort, the CIED infection rate requiring extraction remained low and stable at 0.024%, yet these events carried outsized clinical and economic...
