Dnp Final Report: Effects Of Open-Access Scheduling On Patient No-Show Rates In An Outpatient Clinic, Maria Aileen A. Wilkinson Msn, Mba, Rn
DNP Final Reports
No-show rates in a South Texas outpatient clinic have been as high as 16% to 20% which increases wait times to be seen in the clinic and decreases patient access to outpatient care. This no-show rate data has continued despite multiple interventions that have been implemented in an academic health science center. Physical, socio-economic, geographic, and health/lifestyle factors affecting no show or missed appointments are crucial to determining the most appropriate interventions to alleviate this issue. No-show rates are important metrics to improve because it directly affects the organization's revenue, access to care, and appointment wait times. Research evidence regarding …

DNP Final Reports
Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) population, account for 30% of spending or $233.5 billion of the costs (Bui et al., 2017). Identifying barriers to care in the CSHCN population can be multi-faceted and complex incorporating high utilization of time, and clinical resources. This project aims to evaluate the impact of care coordination, and utilization on the CSHCN population through a Patient-centered Medical Home, use of embedded case management assessing this population through using the evidence-based Care
Coordination Management Tool (CCMT). CSHCN (N=117) and families were assessed using the CCMT at every interaction from September 1, 2020 – November …

Dnp Final Report: Breaking The Cycle: Care Coordination Interventions And Sickle Cell Readmissions, Naphtali Edge
DNP Final Reports
Background
Approximately 100,000 people in the United States are affected by Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Sickle Cell Disease represents the second highest readmitting diagnosis at Houston Methodist Hospital. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of implementing care coordination interventions to reduce hospital readmissions of patients with SCD.
PICOT
In adult patients with SCD in the acute care hospital setting, how does care coordination intervention compared to no care coordination intervention affect the readmission rate for patients with SCD over a 3 – 6-month period?
Body of Evidence
Eleven studies were critical appraised and included in the …
