Care Coordination: Roles Of Registered Nurses Across The Care Continuum, Beth Ann Swan, Sheila Haas, Anne T. Jessie
College of Nursing Faculty Papers & Presentations
Lack of coordination leads to health care that is fragmented, inconsistent, and poorly planned. Conversely, effective care coordination supports achieving the Quadruple Aim. Care coordination, roles of RNs in care coordination, and implications for healthcare delivery are explored.

Background
Typical hospital lighting is rich in blue-wavelength emission, which can create unwanted circadian disruption in patients when exposed at night. Despite a growing body of evidence regarding the effects of poor sleep on health outcomes, physiologically neutral technologies have not been widely implemented in the US healthcare system.
Objective
The authors sought to determine if rechargeable, proximity-sensing, blue-depleted lighting pods that provide wireless task lighting can make overnight hospital care more efficient for providers and less disruptive to patients.
Design
Non-randomised, controlled interventional trial in an intermediate-acuity unit at a large urban medical centre.
Methods
Night-time healthcare providers abstained …

Rural Hospital Nursing Skill Mix And Work Environment Associated With Frequency Of Adverse Events., Jessica G. Smith, Colin M. Plover, Moira C. Mcchesney, Eileen T. Lake
College of Population Health Faculty Papers
Introduction: Though rural hospitals serve about one fifth of the United States (U.S.), few studies have investigated relationships among nursing resources and rural hospital adverse events.
Objectives: The purpose was to determine relationships among nursing skill mix (proportion of Registered Nurses (RNs) to all nursing staff), the work environment and adverse events (medication errors, patient falls with injury, pressure ulcers, and urinary tract infections) in rural hospitals.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, nurse survey data from a large study examining nurse organizational factors, patient safety, and quality from four U.S. states were linked to the 2006 American Hospital Association data. …

In this descriptive qualitative study, nurse and healthcare leaders' experiences, perceptions of care coordination and transition management (CCTM®), and insights as to how to foster adoption of the CCTM RN role in nursing education, practice across the continuum, and policy were explored. Twenty-five barriers to recognition and adoption of CCTM RN practice across the continuum were identified and categorized. Implications of these findings, recommendations for adoption of CCTM RN practice across the care continuum, and strategies for reimbursement policies are discussed.

The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study was to explore nurse and healthcare leaders' experiences and perceptions of care coordination and transition management (CCTM®). Four barriers emerged that added insight into the lack of adopting and integrating CCTM knowledge, skills, and attitudes in nursing education in the following categories: curriculum redesign, silos of care settings and care providers, knowledge gap, and faculty development/resistance. Recommendations and implications for education, for both nursing students and practicing nurses, are described.

College of Nursing Faculty Papers & Presentations
Changes in the National Council of State Boards of Nursing along with other factors influence graduates’ successful completion of a nursing program and the licensing examination. Literature is scarce in the area of examining stu-dent perceptions of preparing for and taking the NCLEX-RN examination. Our study sought to fill this gap in knowledge by conducting a focus group and interviews with individuals who passed the NCLEX-RN on their first at-tempt and those who did not. This was a descriptive qualitative study which used semi-structured interviews and a focus group to examine graduates’ perceptions related to preparing for and taking the …

The American Academy Of Ambulatory Care Nursing's Invitational Summit On Care Coordination And Transition Management: An Overview, Sheila Haas, Beth Ann Swan
College of Nursing Faculty Papers & Presentations
The American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing convened an Invitational Summit of national leaders to assist with strategic planning for promulgation of the care coordination and transition management (CCTM™) model. The conference was devoted to CCTM and the roles of registered nurses (RNs) across the care continuum to ensure safety and quality health care. The specific emphasis was on embedding the CCTM RN in healthcare policy and payment reform, as well as integration into academic and ongoing education across all care settings and specialties.
