A Better Tool For Ed Fall Risk Assessments: The Monego-Barra Ed Fall Risk Assessment Tool (Moba), Roxanne Barra, Mary Waldo, Angela Graves, Jessica Monego

Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present

Background

The incidence of falls has been increasing in emergency departments (EDs), with some resulting in harm. In a large health care system in the Western United States, the Morse Fall Risk Assessment Tool (Morse) is used across care settings, despite not being validated in the ED. Other ED tools in the literature are the Memorial ED Fall Risk Assessment Tool (Memorial) and Kinder 1 Fall Risk Assessment Tool (Kinder).

Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present

Using A Virtual, Case-Based Approach To Developing Clinical Competency In Hospice, Melissa Robinson, Sasha Holden, Tara Poulsen

Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present

Background:

There has been a shift in nursing education away from a teacher-centered approach that is focused on requiring learners to memorize large amounts of content to a concept-based approach that is learner-centered and focuses on the development of critical thinking, clinical judgment, and problem-solving skills (Giddens et al., 2020). Conceptual learning requires learners to connect facts and exemplars to concepts through active learning experiences such as completing case studies or problem-solving activities (Baron, 2017). This allows learners to ‘practice’ thinking and apply new knowledge to clinical practice.

The clinical education team is applying this knowledge to the current competency-based …
