  • Safe Syringe Disposal Guide for Home Generated Medical Waste
    SAFE SYRINGE DISPOSAL GUIDE FOR HOME GENERATED MEDICAL WASTE If you produce any medical waste at home, this Guide may apply to you. 2008 INTRODUCTION Home generators of medical waste may account for the use of up to 700,000 sharps daily in New Jersey. The most common disease that requires self- injection of insulin and lancets to monitor blood sugar levels at home is diabetes. Data for 2000-2002 indicates that there are approximately 24,000 individuals over the age of 18 who have been diagnosed as diabetic in the State of New Jersey. (NJDHSS Center for Health Statistics) Further, it is estimated that an additional 134,000 individuals in the same age group have diabetes but have yet to be diagnosed. (NJDHSS Family Health Services) The proper disposal of home generated medical waste is an important step that all home generators of medical waste can take to help ensure the health and safety of all New Jerseyans. WHAT HEALTH EFFECTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF HOME GENERATED MEDICAL WASTE? The improper disposal of home generated medical waste poses a potential health hazard to many, including family members, sanitation workers, people in the community, hotel housekeeping staffs and school personnel. Although rare, diseases as serious as Hepatitis B and AIDS can also result from accidental needle sticks. In addition, loose syringes thrown into your household trash can also be misused if they fall into the wrong hands. Moreover, these items can injure small children, pets and wildlife. DOES THIS GUIDE APPLY TO YOU? The Safe Syringe Disposal Guide (Guide) applies to New Jerseyans generating medical waste at home.

    Patient Safety Indicators Technical Report A Supplement to the Hospital Performance Report 2018 Data Health Care Quality Assessment Office of Population Health New Jersey Department of Health _________________ * For inquiries, contact Markos Ezra, PhD, by phone at (800) 418-1397 or by email at [email protected]. Patient____________________________________________________________________________________ Safety Indicators (PSIs) New Jersey 2018 Executive Summary The Office of Health Care Quality Assessment (HCQA) of the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services assesses health care quality using qualitative and quantitative data reported by hospitals to support performance monitoring related to patient care and safety. Specifically, HCQA produces consumer reports on cardiac surgery, hospital performance, and hospital quality indicators; reviews confidential reports and root-cause analyses of reportable medical errors; and maintains several databases to support licensure requirements. In order to enhance information, the Department provides to the public on hospital care, HCQA staff apply statistical tools developed by the Federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to the New Jersey hospital discharge data commonly known as Uniform Billing (UB) data. This report presents findings resulting from the application of a statistical tool known as the Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) module to the 2018 New Jersey hospital discharge data. The PSI module currently in use contains 18 indicators that reflect the quality of care provided by hospitals. These indicators serve as flags for potential quality problems (adverse events) rather than provide definitive measures of quality of care. According to the AHRQ, the 18 indicators are selected based on their ability to screen out conditions present on admission from conditions that develop after admission, the potential preventability of the complication, and the ability of the indicator to identify medical error.
