Interventions To Reduce Medication Errors, Tawana Tucker
DNP and Student Works
Medication errors are the most commonly identified errors occurring in every healthcare setting costing billions of dollars per year. They have the potential to cause death to a patient or increase hospital length of stay. A root cause analysis (RCA) was conducted after a nurse was interrupted several times during the medication administration process and gave medications to the wrong patient. Also, the number of medication errors for the post-operative, medical-surgical unit had increased to nineteen over one quarter. Distractions and interruptions of nurses during the medication administration process have been identified as a relatable factor causing medication errors. The …

A Correlation Between Pre-Admission Preparation And Same-Day Surgery Cancellations, Kimberly A. Shidner
DNP and Student Works
Patients undergoing surgical procedures must have adequate surgical preparation for anesthesia, procedures, and post-operative care to avoid cancellation. The primary focus of this quality improvement project was to determine if a correlation between pre-admission assessment preparedness and same-day surgery cancellation rates existed. The Ottawa Model of Research was used as a reference to help guide the project. The two-month internal audit provided documentation of incomplete pre-admission preparations, which placed a potential risk of surgical cancellations. A pre-admission policy was revised to enforce the pre-admission regulation. The change required the submission of patient documentation forty-eight hours prior to admission. This allowed …
Electronic Health Record Template Customization And The Impact On Nursing Satisfaction And Documentation Compliance, Autumn Engstrom
Electronic Health Record Template Customization And The Impact On Nursing Satisfaction And Documentation Compliance, Autumn Engstrom
DNP and Student Works
Documentation is a crucial component of safe and effective patient care. A priority for health care organizations is to ensure their electronic health record (EHR) systems are used safely and effectively. They should be clinically operational, user-friendly, and suit the needs of the end user (HealthIT.gov, 2017). If EHR templates do not exist, are not customized to the needs of the user, or are not user-friendly, risks of failing to maintain proper documentation exist (Mosher, Lose, Leslie, Pennathur, & Kaboli, 2015). The purpose of this project was to develop and implement an EHR template for obstetrical and postpartum nurses to …

The Effects Of An Anticoagulation Program On Patient Compliance Following Total Joint Replacement, Aisha Stone-Corr
DNP and Student Works
Patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery have shown the potential for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) ranging from 46% to 60% postoperatively. To avoid this risk, home rehabilitation is recommended, including nursing and/or physical therapy, proper monitoring of international normalized ratios (INRs), and anticoagulant medication compliance. This quality improvement initiative was done to address the gap in care of inadequate tools for the clinicians to properly manage anticoagulant dependent patients as well as the inconsistency of anticoagulation therapy management and care. Applying the five steps of the Iowa model of evidence-based practice, an anticoagulation therapy program was created including an organizational clinician …

Alarm fatigue occurs when excessive alarms cause nurses to disregard alarms posing a significant patient safety threat. This quality improvement project utilized the plan-do-check-act approach to examine the impact of daily electrocardiographic electrode changes on the frequency of technical related cardiac monitor alarm events on two adult nursing units. All technical related cardiac monitor alarm events decreased during the intervention period; specifically, by 20.6% and 71.0% on the first and second nursing unit respectively.
