Introduction: Pediatric delirium is underrecognized in the pediatric population and can lead to increased length of stay, hospital costs, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Using a standardized screening tool to assess for delirium is an easy way for bedside nurses to evaluate patients and intervene as necessary. This quality improvement project aimed to implement the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium (CAPD) and complete a delirium screening on applicable patients once a shift > 85% over four months.
Methods: Between January 2020 to May 2020, bedside nurses completed a delirium screening assessment on applicable patients, first on paper and then …

Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative neurological illness characterized by the deterioration of brain regions implicated in memory and cognitive function. While researchers have yet to find a cure or effective treatment, they have gained a better understanding of its pathology and development. Through years of neuroscience research, scientists have discovered much of what happens in the brain during Alzheimer’s disease onset and how this causes its symptoms; many hypotheses regarding this aspect of the illness involve temporal lobe atrophy, neurofibrillary tangles, and amyloid plaques. Although Alzheimer’s disease affects millions of people every day, it seems that most are unaware of …

Objective: To increase identification and genetic referral rates for women at risk of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC).
Design: Evidence-based practice improvement initiative
Setting/Local Problem: Private suburban OB/GYN practice in Tennessee with no standardized process for HBOC risk assessment or genetic referral.
Participants: Women age 18 or older, presenting for routine well-woman visits.
Intervention/Measurements: Using PDSA (plan-do-study-act) cycles, a familial risk assessment tool was selected, and a clinical decision-making algorithm for risk assessment and genetic referral was designed and implemented for use in well-woman encounters. Pre-implementation and post-implementation risk identification and referral rates were …
