In Switzerland however, department size correlated with increasing quality, albeit without statistical significance.
In Switzerland, department size correlated moderately with both aspects of integrative learning culture, suggesting some quality increase with increasing department size, albeit without statistical significance.
Emergency department (ED) crowding correlates with patient safety.
The impact of treatment patterns on treatment costs are presented in Table 5. Treatment costs varied by mode of hospital arrival (helicopter is the most expensive, followed by ambulance) and the time from emergency call to arrival at the A&E department (both positively correlated), and by the time in the A&E department (negatively correlated).
The proportion of weekly gastrointestinal emergency department visits was strongly correlated with NoV outbreaks reported from Ohio (Pearson correlation coefficient; r = 0.68).
The primary cause of emergency department admission was not correlated with hospital mortality.
In German hospitals with their larger clinical departments, department size was negatively correlated with quality of PGMT as well as with the working situation.
However, when scores were correlated to department size, German departments showed a less favorable working situation for larger departments which is statistically significant for work completion and displayed a trend (p < 0.1) for continuing education.
An abnormal ECG, particularly with ischemic changes, on presentation to the emergency department with AECOPD, is correlated with a prolonged hospital stay (see Figure 1, van Eeden, unpublished data).
Department average scores also correlated with the frequency of adverse hospital events (as determined by Global trigger tool revision of patient records) and with department average patient reports on general satisfaction with hospitalization, worries about possible maltreatment, and evaluation of the smoothness of hospital work.
In contrast to a great deal of the diversity literature, the percentage of female faculty in departments did not correlate, in this study, with production of female Ph.D.s, but small numbers may account for failure to find a trend, the authors note.
