Improving Emergency Department Belongings Inventory Electronic Medical Record Documentation Rates, Stefanie Lai
Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present
Background: Electronic Medical Record (EMR) education and training for RNs should be multifaceted and targeted to the RN clinical workflow.

Preventing And Responding To Workplace Violence In The Emergency Department, Stefanie Lai, Alicia Rodriguez
Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present
Background: Workplace violence (WPV) is defined as physical violence or verbal threats of physical violence, regardless of whether an employee sustains an injury. Emergency department (ED) staff are at high risk of exposure to WPV, which can lead to burnout, job dissatisfaction, and secondary stress. Effective preparation for and response to WPV incidents can help mitigate these negative effects. Multicomponent interventions, including education, safety huddles, behavioral health rapid response teams, and environmental modifications, have been shown to reduce WPV incidents and increase staff perceptions of safety.

Fall Prevention Quality Initiative: Implementation Of Fall Ambassador Safety Team (Fast), Jerome Codilla, Joanna Arraiza
Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present
Background
Patient falls are the most common adverse events reported in hospitals and represent a persistent patient safety issue. Annually, roughly 700,000 to 1 million patient falls occur in United States hospitals, resulting in around 250,000 injuries and up to 11,000 deaths (LeLaurin et al., 2019). Nurses are responsible for the identification of high fall risk patients and development of a plan of care to minimize risk. Multifactorial strategies have been shown to reduce falls, but evidence of a sustainability team (fall champions) is lacking. Review of the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) data on a 33-bed progressive …

Utilization Of Catheter Calendars For Cauti Reduction, Katie Whitehead
Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present
Background:
Hospital acquired infections are a nursing sensitive quality indicator used by the public, governmental agencies, and regulatory bodies to determine the caliber of care offered by nursing staff in acute care hospitals. Lower incidences of hospital acquired infections are linked to improved safety and patient outcomes. Historically, a 356-bed community hospital had very low rates of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) prior to 2021, however in the first two quarters of the year, the medical-surgical units saw this number jump from four total in 2020 and 2021 to five in six months.
Purpose:
To reduce the incidence of …
Building The Future: New Grad Residency As A Response To The Staffing Crisis, Caitlin Silva, Geri Harmon
Building The Future: New Grad Residency As A Response To The Staffing Crisis, Caitlin Silva, Geri Harmon
Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present
Purpose:
An innovative nursing project was created to evaluate if increasing the total number of nurses entering the Transition into Practice (TIP) program would decrease traveler utilization, resulting in cost savings for the hospital.
Relevance/Significance:
Nursing shortages reached a critical level during the pandemic, and many hospitals throughout the country have not recovered. Many nurses have either left the bedside entirely or moved to the competitive pay of travel nursing requiring hospitals to create competitive hiring practices. The utilization of travel nurses results in increased costs and can have negative patient outcomes.
Strategy/Implementation/Methods:
The clinical education team collaborated with leadership …
