Improving Scip-4 Glucose Measures, Melissa Fradette
Improving Scip-4 Glucose Measures, Melissa Fradette
Nursing Posters
A performance improvement project was initiated to increase the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) glucose measure compliance. Order sets were modified to standardize glucose monitoring frequency and initiate insulin infusions. A previous practice of double documentation (manual and glucose meter interface documentation) were abstracted as 2 separate results. When glucose interfacting became an option, the practice of manual entries did not stop. The use of manually documented results for decisions failue to prompt interface confirmation; non-validated results do not interface. The plan: implement order set changes; eliminate manual documentation; and rely on interfaced measures to make clinical decisions.

Medical-Surgical Certification - You Can Do It!, Mallory Mondloch
Nursing Posters
Nursing certification is an official recognition of a nurse's knowledge and expertise within an area of specialty practice.

It has been correlated with increased patient satisfaction scores and improved quality of care. Some of these positive patient outcomes include decreased fall rates and decreased mortality and failure respond rates. Evidence has shown that certification enhances staff nurses empowerment, subsequently decreasing turnover and increasing retention. Enhanced feelings of personal accomplishment, personal satisfaction, and validation of specialized knowledge, …

Utilizing A Protocol To Reduce Post-Operative Urinary Retention In Total Joint Arthroplasty, Gina Anderson-Malum, Naomi Schneider
Nursing Posters
Foley catheters have not routinely been used for our total joint patients for many years, leading staff to bladder scan and straight catheterize patients postoperatively. Bladder scanning and catheterization were identified as an inconsistent practice. Patients were commonly straight catheterized when nurses determind bladder scan volume and time of last void; yet the amounts for both and decision to catheterize were inconsistent. Also, the clinical evaluation and treatment was inconsistent among physicians. Variations in practice included rationale for a urology consult, use of medications for urinary retention, and documentation. Baseline urinary retention condition codes ranged from 8-18%, which led our …
