Early And Progressive Mobility: A Program Implementation Strategy For High Acuity Patient Care Locations, Stefani Poland
Student Scholarly Projects
Despite an increase in the promotion of early progressive mobility, its decrease in hospital-acquired complications and improvement of patient outcomes, there remains a reluctance in staff commitment to daily evaluation and implementation. This is largely due to the fact nurses or other interprofessional staff are the primary individuals responsible for this change in process. A lack of confidence in staff to correctly identify patients that meet criteria and anxiety regarding the safe transfer or mobilization of patients, particularly in high acuity settings have been identified as major barriers. The PICOT question that guided this program development of a CBO toolkit …

Evidence-Based Best Practice For Discharge Planning: A Policy Review, Marissa Lewis
Student Scholarly Projects
Ineffective discharge planning produces poor patient healthcare outcomes, potential adverse events, and medical errors. A primary deterrent to successful discharge planning is communication, either within the interdisciplinary team or during handoff to the receiving transition of care facilities of home health, skilled nursing, or acute rehabilitation.
The purpose of the evaluation project was to determine if current policies, communication tools, and workflows of three healthcare organizations were based on evidence and make recommendations for policy revisions. The Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals Model (JHNEBP) was used with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Policy Process (POLARIS) …
Oral Care Bundle Impact On Staff Assisted Oral Care, Sabrina Oliver
Oral Care Bundle Impact On Staff Assisted Oral Care, Sabrina Oliver
Student Scholarly Projects
Practice Problem: Non-ventilator hospital acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) is more common than ventilator acquired pneumonia. Oral care is the only modifiable risk factor for all patient populations.
PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this project was: In non-ventilated patients in a tertiary care setting (P), how does implementing an oral care bundle (I) compared to the current practice of individual tasks without a bundle (C) affect adherence to facility oral care standard of patients receiving oral care at least once a day (O) over six weeks (T)?
Evidence: Lack of an oral bundle that has been proven to decrease …
