Improving Onboarding And Role Transition For Advanced Practice Providers, Leighann Ebenezer
Improving Onboarding And Role Transition For Advanced Practice Providers, Leighann Ebenezer
Nursing (graduate) Student Scholarship
BACKGROUND: APPs are increasingly being integrated into various health care settings and the role continues to gain popularity and utility as a solution to the shortage of physicians. Successful onboarding of APPs has been identified as an important factor in the role transition and integration of APPs into their team and organization.
PROBLEM: When hired, APPs are often not onboarded successfully to the detriment of the provider and the organization. Despite the evidence for comprehensive onboarding programs, APPs continue to receive insufficient onboarding that ignores their unique scope of practice.
METHOD: The Ottawa Model of Research Use, a knowledge translation …
Transition Of Care Program: A Quality Improvement Project, Sara Gigliotti
Transition Of Care Program: A Quality Improvement Project, Sara Gigliotti
Nursing (graduate) Student Scholarship
BACKGROUND: Unplanned hospital readmissions are a burden on healthcare expenditure. There is a paucity in research at the sub-acute level of care, where many patients receive services following a hospitalization, to decrease readmission rates. This project aimed to determine whether a formal transition of care program (TCP) in a sub-acute rehabilitation (SAR) center decreased unplanned hospital readmissions of adults within 30 days of discharge to home.
METHODS: A literature review identified evidence-based interventions used to develop a formal TCP in a SAR center. The Ottawa Model of Research Use was used for the quality improvement (QI) project. Data was collected …

A Multimodal Educational Approach For Caregivers Of A Febrile Child: A Quality Improvement Project, Claire Catherine Jones
Nursing (graduate) Student Scholarship
Background: Insufficient caregiver knowledge regarding the physiology and correct management of fever in children contributes to adverse health outcomes in children.
Problem: Lack of multimodal education and resources for caregivers on the management of febrile children leads to medication dosing errors, overutilization of medical resources, and caregiver ambiguity when caring for their child.
Methods: A multimodal educational approach (MEA) on discharge education for the care of a febrile child directed towards caregivers who presented to a pediatric emergency room in Eastern PA, was implemented, and caregiver knowledge and caregiver’s perception of preparedness at time of discharge was measured.
Intervention: The …

Developing A Reliable Computational Method To Determine The Allosteric Sites To Be Targeted In Finding Non-Aggregating Allosteric Inhibitors Of Ptp1b, Sarah Codd, Anne Reeve
Developing A Reliable Computational Method To Determine The Allosteric Sites To Be Targeted In Finding Non-Aggregating Allosteric Inhibitors Of Ptp1b, Sarah Codd, Anne Reeve
Honors Projects and Presentations: Undergraduate
Type 2 diabetes is a serious metabolic disease with a growing need for improved therapeutics. Traditional antidiabetic drugs can assist with the maintenance of blood glucose levels in diabetics but are not optimal treatments due to side effects. PTP1B is a validated therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes, as it acts as a negative regulator in the insulin signaling pathway. Inhibiting PTP1B may allow for increased insulin sensitivity, leading to glucose homeostasis and improved metabolism. In the past 3 allosteric sites were identified as targets for PTP1B inhibition. This study analyzes the validity of these sites and the possibility of …
