Abstract In this paper, we demonstrate a novel nanoprobing approach to establish cause-and-effect relationships between voltage stress and end-of-life performance loss and failure in SRAM cells. A Hyperion II Atomic Force nanoProber was used to examine degradation for five 6T cells on an Intel 14 nm processor. Ten minutes of asymmetrically applied stress at VDD=2 V was used to simulate a ‘0’ bit state held for a long period, subjecting each pullup and pulldown to either VDS or VGS stress. Resultant degradation caused read and hold margins to be reduced by 20% and 5% respectively for the ‘1’ state and 5% and 2% respectively for the ‘0’ state. ION was also reduced, for pulldown and pullup respectively, by 4.5% and 5.4% following VGS stress and 2.6% and 33.8% following VDS stress. Negative read margin failures, soft errors, and read time failures all become more prevalent with these aging symptoms whereas write stability is improved. This new approach enables highly specific root cause analysis and failure prediction for end-of-life in functional on-product SRAM.

The Impact

ObjectiveTo determine whether discussion and documentation of decisions about future care was improved following the introduction of a new approach to recording treatment decisions: the Universal Form of Treatment Options (UFTO).MethodsRetrospective review of the medical records of patients who died within 90 days of admission to oncology or respiratory medicine wards over two 3-month periods, preimplementation and postimplementation of the UFTO. A sample size of 70 per group was required to provide 80% power to observe a change from 15% to 35% in discussion or documentation of advance care planning (ACP), using a two-sided test at the 5% significance level.ResultsOn the oncology ward, introduction of the UFTO was associated with a statistically significant increase in cardiopulmonary resuscitation decisions documented for patients (pre-UFTO 52% to post-UFTO 77%, p=0.01) and an increase in discussions regarding ACP (pre-UFTO 27%, post-UFTO 49%, p=0.03). There were no demonstrable changes in practice on the respiratory ward. Only one patient came into hospital with a formal ACP document.ConclusionsDespite patients’ proximity to the end-of-life, there was limited documentation of ACP and almost no evidence of formalised ACP. The introduction of the UFTO was associated with a change in practice on the oncology ward but this was not observed for respiratory patients. A new approach to recording treatment decisions may contribute to improving discussion and documentation about future care but further work is needed to ensure that all patients’ preferences for treatment and care at the end-of-life are known.

This chapter provides perspectives on quality improvement (QI)-based initiatives in US healthcare organizations across settings and populations and discusses their impact on patient, professional, and system outcomes in palliative care. Principles of QI and structural, process, and outcome approaches to conducting QI studies are introduced. A case study is presented of a care-path for the end of life that the author and colleagues pilot-tested. An algorithm addressing dyspnea, a distressing symptom at end-of-life, is offered for testing, and a new approach to evaluating care at the end of life using the Joint Commission’s tracer methodology will be introduced. The chapter closes by showcasing nurses within interdisciplinary teams who are building evidence and providing leadership in the field of quality and palliative care.
