I am employed by Obstetrix Medical Group as part of a larger organization that includes perinatologists, obstetric hospitalists, and advanced registered nurse practitioners. Our hospital, Swedish Medical Center (SMC), First Hill Campus, in Seattle, WA does over 7000 deliveries a year. A large proportion of these patients are cared for by community based family practitioners. Seattle is a large urban center with extensive tertiary medical services. It serves as a referral center for a large 5 state region (including Washington, Alaska, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana). In these outlying rural areas, a high proportion of the obstetric care is provided by family medicine physicians. Seattle also has a very active Certified Nurse Midwife community who provide obstetric care in free standing birthing centers and attend home births. SMC is a community teaching hospital with medical students, family practice residents, a rotating ob-gyn resident, and family practice fellows. Interestingly, SMC offers a one year family medicine fellowship program to interested family medicine physicians in cesarean delivery and more intensive obstetrics.

  • MILITARY HOSPITALS in the MAKING Major-General W
    J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-109-01-06 on 1 January 1963. Downloaded from 36 MILITARY HOSPITALS IN THE MAKING Major-General W. R; M. DREW C.B., C.B.E., Q.H.P., F.R.C.P. DURING the last 300 years England has shown an increasing concern for the constant care of her sick and wounded. Many successful generals and other officers command­ ing have long appreciated that the outcome of a campaign can depend on the medical services. Broadly it can be said that the evolution of army hospitals has followed closely their civil and naval counterparts, and that following each war improvements have been accomplished in the organization of military hospitals and medical services. It is probable that the first military hospital to be established in this country was that in Porchester Castle in 1563 which was required for the care of the casualties from the gallant garrison of Havre (Stewart 1950). The next was in Dublin where an army hospital was built and equipped in 1600, but this w{s closed when James I by guest. Protected copyright. reduced the garrison in Ireland. At the beginning of the sixteenth century there were still no proper arrangements for the collection and transportation of'those wounded in war. Usually the victorious general arranged for the local country people to carry away and treat the w~unded left behind on the battlefield. In this period there was no separate medical organization . for either the Army or the Navy. Among the famous surgeons to serve in both of these Armed Services were William Clowes (1540-1604), John Woodall (1569-1643) and Richard Wiseman (1622-1676), all of whom published works on the treatment of battle casualties.

Medicine, Combined Military Hospital, Lahore Medical College, National University of Medical Sciences, Lahore, PAK 4. Surgery, University of Health Sciences, Gujranwala, PAK Corresponding author: Ayesha Farooq, [email protected] Abstract Background: In recent times, the assessment of patient satisfaction has become an essential tool for measuring the effectiveness of healthcare delivery. However, not a lot of work has been done in Pakistan, even less so in comparing it across different hospital systems in the country. This research aims to fill that gap and be the first to compare satisfaction levels in a military and public hospital. Objective: To assess patient satisfaction in different hospital systems of Pakistan and compare their outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken between October 2019 and April 2020 among 376 patients; 193 from Combined Military Hospital, Lahore (CMH) and 183 from Jinnah Hospital, Lahore. The questionnaire used for the study was the Short-Form Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire - 18, and convenience sampling was used to select participants. Data was entered and analysed on Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results: The majority of participants were male (71.2%), entitled to free healthcare (58.4%), and employed (59.7%).
