Howard J. Huang, Stephanie G. Yi, Constance M. Mobley, Ashish Saharia, more

Clinical Transplantation > 36 > 5 > n/a - n/a

Response to two doses of a nucleoside‐modified messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine was evaluated in a large solid‐organ transplant program. mRNA COVID‐19 vaccine was administered to transplant candidates and recipients who met study inclusion criteria. Qualitative anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike Total Immunoglobulin (Ig) and IgG‐specific assays, and a semi‐quantitative test for anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike protein...

Donation after circulatory death liver transplantation: An in‐depth analysis and propensity score–matched comparison

Mark J. Hobeika, Ashish Saharia, Constance M. Mobley, Terri Menser, more

Clinical Transplantation > 35 > 6 > n/a - n/a

Background Careful donor‐recipient matching and reduced ischemia times have improved outcomes following donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation (LT). This study examines a single‐center experience with DCD LT including high‐acuity and hospitalized recipients. Methods DCD LT outcomes were compared to a propensity score–matched (PSM) donation after brain death (DBD) LT cohort...

The evolution of cooperation in the face of conflict: Evidence from the innovation ecosystem for mobile telecom standards development

Stephen L. Jones, Aija Leiponen, Gurneeta Vasudeva

Strategic Management Journal > 42 > 4 > 710 - 740

Research Summary How does interfirm cooperation in innovation ecosystems evolve in the face of conflict? We theorize that conflict propels firms to reconfigure cooperative relationships while maintaining and even increasing cooperation with aggressors because cooperation is the primary mechanism for value creation in such ecosystems. To empirically test our arguments, we study patent litigation and...

An exploration of community partnerships, safety‐net hospitals, and readmission rates

Ohbet Cheon, Juha Baek, Bita A. Kash, Stephen L. Jones

Health Services Research > 55 > 4 > 531 - 540

Objective To compare hospital‐community partnerships among safety‐net hospitals relative to non–safety‐net hospitals, and explore whether hospital‐community partnerships are associated with reductions in readmission rates. Data Sources Data from four nationwide hospital‐level datasets for 2015‐2016, including American Hospital Association (AHA) annual survey, Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment...

Sepsis as 2 problems: Identifying sepsis at admission and predicting onset in the hospital using an electronic medical record–based acuity score

Michael Rothman, Mitchell Levy, R. Philip Dellinger, Stephen L. Jones, more

Journal of Critical Care > 2017 > 38 > C > 237-244

Early identification and treatment improve outcomes for patients with sepsis. Current screening tools are limited. We present a new approach, recognizing that sepsis patients comprise 2 distinct and unequal populations: patients with sepsis present on admission (85%) and patients who develop sepsis in the hospital (15%) with mortality rates of 12% and 35%, respectively.Models are developed and tested...

The Sepsis Early Recognition and Response Initiative (SERRI)

Stephen L. Jones, Carol M. Ashton, Lisa Kiehne, Elizabeth Gigliotti, more

The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety > 2016 > 42 > 3 > 122-131, AP1-AP7

48 months and currently ongoing.The Houston Methodist Hospital System and affiliated hospitals (3 facilities with 2 hospital-run skilled nursing facilities in and around Houston), St. Joseph’s Regional Health Center (1 acute care hospital and 2 skilled nursing facilities in Bryan, Texas), Hospital Corporation of America (2 acute care facilities in Houston, 1 acute care facility in McAllen, Texas [Rio...

Reductions in Sepsis Mortality and Costs After Design and Implementation of a Nurse-Based Early Recognition and Response Program

Stephen L. Jones, Carol M. Ashton, Lisa Kiehne, Elizabeth Gigliotti, more

The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety > 2015 > 41 > 11 > 483-491, AP1-AP3

Sepsis is a leading cause of death, but evidence suggests that early recognition and prompt intervention can save lives. In 2005 Houston Methodist Hospital prioritized sepsis detection and management in its ICU. In late 2007, because of marginal effects on sepsis death rates, the focus shifted to designing a program that would be readily used by nurses and ensure early recognition of patients showing...

Surgeon-Specific Performance Reports in General Surgery: An Observational Study of Initial Implementation and Adoption

Stephanie G. Yi, Nelda P. Wray, Stephen L. Jones, Barbara L. Bass, more

Journal of the American College of Surgeons > 2013 > 217 > 4 > 636-647.e1

As national quality initiatives are increasing requirements for individual physician data, our department of surgery initiated a surgeon-specific reporting (SSR) program to assess the value of personal knowledge on individual performance quality. We sought to evaluate the use of SSR as a tool to enable surgeons to assess and improve their clinical performance, and to identify barriers to use of their...

Which skills really matter? proving face, content, and construct validity for a commercial robotic simulator

Calvin Lyons, David Goldfarb, Stephen L. Jones, Niraj Badhiwala, more

Surgical Endoscopy > 2013 > 27 > 6 > 2020-2030

Background A novel computer simulator is now commercially available for robotic surgery using the da Vinci^® System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA). Initial investigations into its utility have been limited due to a lack of understanding of which of the many provided skills modules and metrics are useful for evaluation. In addition, construct validity testing has been done using medical students...

Supply chain trust: The catalyst for collaborative innovation

Stanley E. Fawcett, Stephen L. Jones, Amydee M. Fawcett

Business Horizons > 2012 > 55 > 2 > 163-178

Trust is at the heart of a collaborative innovation capability. Without a foundation of trust, collaborative alliances can neither be built nor sustained. Using a two-stage qualitative research method, we discovered that managers understand neither the nature of trust nor the dynamics of trust building. To help alleviate these knowledge gaps, we herein develop a definition of collaborative trust,...

Robotic telepresence: a helpful adjunct that is viewed favorably by critically ill surgical patients

Joseph F. Sucher, S. Rob Todd, Stephen L. Jones, Terry Throckmorton, more

The American Journal of Surgery > 2011 > 202 > 6 > 843-847

The purpose of this study was to assess how surgical intensive care unit (SICU) patients and their families would perceive robotic telepresence. We hypothesized that they would view such technology positively.This research was an Institutional Review Board–approved prospective observational study. Our robotic telepresence program augmented the SICU multidisciplinary team rounding process. We anonymously...

Availability of acute care surgeons improves outcomes in patients requiring emergent colon surgery

Laura J. Moore, Krista L. Turner, Stephen L. Jones, Bridget N. Fahy, more

The American Journal of Surgery > 2011 > 202 > 6 > 837-842

The need for emergent colon surgery is a common cause of severe sepsis/septic shock and mortality among surgical patients. We wanted to benchmark our outcomes against those of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). We hypothesized that having acute care surgeons to provide comprehensive perioperative care and rapid source control surgery would improve outcome.We queried the 2005...

Sepsis in general surgery: a deadly complication

Laura J. Moore, Frederick A. Moore, Stephen L. Jones, Jiaqiong Xu, more

The American Journal of Surgery > 2009 > 198 > 6 > 868-874

Sepsis is a deadly and potentially preventable complication. A better understanding of sepsis in general surgery patients is needed to help direct resources to those patients at highest risk for death from sepsis.We identified risk factors for sepsis in general surgery patients by using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project database.Analysis of the database identified 3 major risk factors...

TB diagnosis in non-human primates: comparison of two interferon-γ assays and the skin test for identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Richard A.W. Vervenne, Stephen L. Jones, Dick van Soolingen, Tridia van der Laan, more

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology > 2004 > 100 > 1-2 > 61-71

In general non-human primates are highly susceptible to infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis which therefore presents an explosive health threat to colonies. To screen for M. tuberculosis infections in non-human primates, the skin test is routinely used. However, the reliability of this test in primates is debatable. The aim of this study was to compare relatively easy in vitro diagnostic tests...
