Masimo (NASDAQ:MASI) announced today the findings of a study published in the
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences in which Dr. Ayten Saracoglu and colleagues at the Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul evaluated the ability of ORi to guide oxygenation by measuring its impact on hyperoxemia-mediated morbidity during one-lung ventilation (OLV) conducted as part of thoracic surgery.
1 They concluded that ORi-guided oxygen titration may reduce hospital stay and increase patient safety.

New Study Assesses the Effects of Masimo Patient SafetyNet™ on Nursing Workflows in the General Ward
Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced today the findings of a study published in the Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing in which Drs. Mashasi Ishikawa and Atsuhiro Sakamoto at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo evaluated the utility and impact of Masimo Patient SafetyNet™ by surveying nurses before and after implementation.1 The researchers found that use of the remote monitoring and clinical notification system decreased the number of physical assessments needed, resulting in a reduction in the nursing workload, and also recommended the use of continuous respiratory rate and oxygen saturation monitoring (which was implemented as part of the system) after general anesthesia for patients’ safety.

Issues With the Initial CMS Star Ratings
The July 2016 CMS Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings system combined 64 hospital quality measures from Hospital Compare into “measure groups”: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, effectiveness of care, timeliness of care, and efficient use of medical imaging. A latent variable modeling approach was applied to weight the measures within each group, and overall scores were calculated. A statistical approach (k-means clustering) sorted hospitals into final ratings ranging from 1 to 5 stars. All eligible hospitals in the country (N = 3591) were measured against each other, including large academic medical centers (n = 228), community hospitals of all sizes (n = 1719), critical access hospitals (n = 544), and even single-specialty hospitals (eg, orthopedic) (n = 79).
