An Educational Intervention Differentiating Pressure Injuries From End-Of-Life Wounds, Alicia Perez Varela, Annette Callis

Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present

Background

End-of-life (EOL) wounds are identified in the literature as Kennedy Terminal Ulcers (KTU), Skin Failure (SF), Trombley-Brennan Terminal Tissue Injury (TB-TTI), and SCALE (Skin Changes at Life’s End). EOL wounds have a similar appearance to pressure injuries (PIs) with a fundamentally different etiology. The misclassification of EOL wounds as PIs results in increased Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPI), hospital fines, and less-than-optimal EOL wound management.

Purpose

To examine the effectiveness of an educational intervention on EOL wounds in increasing nurse confidence in providing End-of-Life Care (EOLC) and differentiating PIs from EOL wounds.

Methods

This quasi-experimental study used the 28-item …

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 …

A Quality Improvement Project To Decrease New Or Worsening Pressure Ulcers In A Skilled Nursing Facility (D-Pus Snf), Shaune Mattsson

Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present

Background:

Pressure ulcers (PU) are a "localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or shear/friction". PU are an urgent problem in the United States (U.S.). Residents in skilled nursing facilities (SNF) are disproportionately affected, with 9.2% of residents estimated to suffer a PU nationally. The Braden Scale is gold standard for identifying individuals at risk for PU in healthcare settings across the continuum and grades PU risk in 6 categories: sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction/shear. To protect against PU, a Braden Scale must be documented on …

A Quality Improvement Project To Reduce Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries In Patients With Darker Pigmented Skin, Ma Fe Chase, Travis Scott, Renee Hoeskel, Yolanda Rodriquez

Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present

Purpose: This quality improvement (QI) project aims to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of skin assessments for patients with darker skin tones in preventing hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) by implementing an evidence-based, standardized skin assessment protocol and training program.

Background: Nursing staff play a vital role in preventing HAPIs. Nearly 2.5 million patients develop HAPIs annually in the United States increasing their risk of prolonged hospitalization, increased readmission, infections, and severe pain. Preventing HAPIs continues to be top priority in acute care facilities. Recent audits at a large urban Pacific Northwest hospital revealed high HAPI rates with a staff …

Clinical Outcomes Associated With Mrsa Naat Utilization., Shannon B. Leighton, Pharmd, Emily Fox, Greg Tallman

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: A recent analysis by the Oregon Regional Antimicrobial Stewardship Program demonstrated that across the Oregon region, MRSA NAAT from the nares have a high negative predictive value (NPV) of 99.4%. These findings were consistent when stratified by culture site. The high NPV suggests that MRSA NAAT nasal swabs can be useful in promoting de-escalation (e.g., discontinuation) of anti-MRSA treatment. Few studies have evaluated if use of the MRSA NAAT influences anti-MRSA treatment de-escalation, and even fewer have assessed important clinical outcomes related to MRSA NAAT utilization and de-escalation. The goal of this study is to evaluate the frequency of …

Review Of Current Dual-Antiplatelet And Triple Therapy Prescribing Practices At Providence Medical Group, Gina Kim, Christine Doran, Lauren Powell

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Approximately 10% of patients with recent percutaneous intervention (PCI) have concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) and others may have concomitant venous thromboembolism (VTE). This makes choosing the optimal antithrombotic regimen challenging. The ACC published a 2020 decision pathway to guide safe and evidence-based use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant combinations for certain patients. These situations include patients with prior AF on anticoagulation and the need for PCI, patients with new-onset AF requiring anticoagulation in a patient already on antiplatelet therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD), patients with prior VTE on anticoagulation and the need for PCI, and patients with new or …

Poster: Improving High Reliability Organization (Hro) Education, Culture, & Engagement Through Video, Francis Khan, Alison Branson

2023 South Division Nursing Research Conference

Background: While Providence began the HRO journey in 2015, the Northern California region didn’t launch until March 2022. While most leaders and caregivers have been trained, several still have difficulty remembering and applying the HRO principles and tools. The HRO Vlog provides a series of short videos that not only reinforce the various high reliability principles, but also provides real-life stories of caregivers who have successfully applied HRO principles and tools in their daily work. Purpose: According to Press Ganey’s Virtuous Cycle Model (Fig A.), safety and engagement the drivers of HRO. When safety and engagement operate in tandem, benefits …
