Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer death for both men and women in Kentucky and in the US. Although early detection and diagnosis greatly affect survival rates, only about half (58.2%) of the US population participates in screening (Screening Rates, 2016). Two of the previously reported barriers with colorectal cancer screening are provider neglect to fully educate patients on the need for screening and patient compliance with screening recommendations.

Readmissions to acute care hospitals within 30 days post discharge are a burden to healthcare economy. Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (2007) estimated a cost of $12 billion dollars is spent each year on Medicare patients who are readmitted to an acute care hospital within 30 days post discharge. MedPAC (2007) estimated that 75% of those readmissions are avoidable. A review of the literature was conducted. Thirteen studies were reviewed and analyzed and the results of the literature review indicated there is evidence supportive of implementing telephone follow-up contact with patients discharged from the LTACH to assess for additional needs and …

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Nearly 20% of the nursing workforce practice in rural settings. The literature suggest rural nursing staff do not have the same opportunities for continuing education or the implementation of research in their practice as do nursing staff of larger urban hospitals. Rural nursing staff face unique barriers in obtaining the needed continuing education and research. Identifying and accommodating these barriers is needed. The purpose of this study was to identify by survey, what education and research barriers exist for operating room and post anesthesia care nursing staff in the rural hospitals of the Mississippi River Delta.
