Not the kind of news we want to hear, as reported by this Medpage Today synopsis, Weekend Admission May Raise Risk of Death.

In summary, the study authors conclude:
"These data demonstrate significantly worse outcomes after nonelective admission during the weekend compared with weekdays. Although the underlying mechanism of this finding is unknown, it is likely that factors such as differences in hospital staffing and services offered during the weekend compared with weekdays are causal and mutable."
Try to stay out of the hospital this weekend!

FDA Wants Resource Planning In Corrective Action Plans


According to the The QA Pharm blog,
"The most successful corrective action plans have been those where the direct responsible individuals are named and appear in detailed project plans. There is a clear picture of what success looks like and how to get there. But most of all, the resources are identified to execute the work."
Apparently in an FDA Warning Letter to Teva early this year,  the FDA is telegraphing their desire to see these kinds of elements in a response:
  • a plan
  • what kind of data will be collected to measure the effectiveness of the plan
  • a timeline for the plan
  • the identification of resources allocated to address the issue
