Benefit Of Report Card Feedback After Point-Of-Care Assessment Of Communication Quality Indicators, Michael H. Farrell, Clair R. Sprenger, Shelbie L. Sullivan, Bree A. Trisler, Jessica J.F. Kram, Erin K. Ruppel
Benefit Of Report Card Feedback After Point-Of-Care Assessment Of Communication Quality Indicators, Michael H. Farrell, Clair R. Sprenger, Shelbie L. Sullivan, Bree A. Trisler, Jessica J.F. Kram, Erin K. Ruppel
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Background: Communication in health care is crucial for patient experience and biomedical outcomes, but problems with communication are often seen in health care. Training can improve communication, but skills must be reinforced after graduation to remain improved. Since educational methods are too resource intensive for sustained use throughout the Aurora Health Care system, it is necessary to develop affordable, quantitative methods. The first author has developed necessary techniques, including behavior-specific measures called communication quality indicators.
Purpose: To demonstrate secure audio recording in an outpatient visit and to use communication quality indicators with a heterogenous set of patient-clinician conversations.
Methods: Thirty …
Effect Of Code Status Handout On Resident Physician Comfort During The Admission Process, Krystina Pischke, Jessica Schmid, Jessica J.F. Kram, Dennis J. Baumgardner
Effect Of Code Status Handout On Resident Physician Comfort During The Admission Process, Krystina Pischke, Jessica Schmid, Jessica J.F. Kram, Dennis J. Baumgardner
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Background: Discussing code status can be a difficult part of the admission process, especially for residents. There have been various research studies looking at interventions to improve end-of-life discussions. However, these studies have focused on well-acquainted physicians and patients. With increasing use of hospitalists for inpatient care, there is increased need for improving code status discussions at admission.
Purpose: To determine if an easy-to-use handout would improve resident comfort with the code status discussion.
Methods: Following a literature search on how to discuss advance directives and end-of-life care, a code status handout was developed. The handout, written at fifth-grade reading …
Are There Advantages To Hiring In-House Training Program Graduates?, Jessica J.F. Kram, Dennis J. Baumgardner
Are There Advantages To Hiring In-House Training Program Graduates?, Jessica J.F. Kram, Dennis J. Baumgardner
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Background: Several studies have compared international graduates on measures of performance, quality and satisfaction. No studies have compared internally versus externally hired graduates in relation to these measures.
Purpose: To identify if there is a difference in hiring patterns and care management (CM)/patient satisfaction (PS) scores between internal and external graduate hires.
Methods: We conducted a quality improvement study on graduates hired by Aurora Health Care from Jan. 1, 2006, to Dec. 14, 2015. CM scores were determined based on hire date. PS scores were calculated based on the calendar year, regardless of exact hire date. PS scales for scoring …
Reform Has Only Just Begun, Nick Turkal
Reform Has Only Just Begun, Nick Turkal
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
The head of a major Midwestern health care system outlines the long road facing the industry in terms of overhauling its infrastructure from volume-based to value-oriented. Quality is paramount and will require effective partnerships and an enhanced focus on consumers to achieve.
Abstracts From The 22nd Annual Health Care Systems Research Network Conference, April 13–16, 2016, Atlanta, Georgia
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
This proceedings supplement includes selected abstracts presented at the 22nd annual conference of the Health Care Systems Research Network (HCSRN), held April 13–16, 2016, in Atlanta, Georgia. The HCSRN connects the resources and capabilities of research departments from its member health care systems. Collectively, the organization represents more than 1,900 scientists and research staff from an array of disciplines such as epidemiology, economics, disparities, outcomes and quality assessment, trials and genomics.
Complexity And Chaos In Surgical Start Times, Dennis J. Baumgardner
Complexity And Chaos In Surgical Start Times, Dennis J. Baumgardner
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
In discussing an article investigating the causes for delay of first-case operating room start times included in this issue of the Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews, the editor uses elements of complexity science and chaos theory to explain that such stubborn problems rarely stem from one of a few isolated causes. Taking a whole systems approach that utilizes flexibility, cross training, enhanced communication, common sense and perhaps mathematical models is suggested to effect positive change.

Practc: Practice Readiness Academic Clinical Training Collaborative –– Gap Analysis To Advance Clinical Training For Nurse Practitioner Students, Jennifer Hartlaub, Mary Ann Muzi, M. Jamie Cairo, John R. Brill, James Weese, Kristin Rivera, Susan Hafemann, Ann M. Rohrer, Julia Schumacher, Terri L. Vandenhouten
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Background: Multiple factors have created a perfect storm of health care provider shortages in the United States. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), long established as high-quality, cost-effective health care providers, are meeting health care needs across the nation in a variety of settings, and in Wisconsin will be needed to augment the primary care workforce. With 5.7% of its registered nurses credentialed as APRNs, Wisconsin lags behind the national average of 8.7%. However, current capacity to educate this workforce is strained, requiring innovative data-driven clinical education models.
Purpose: To identify gaps in the current clinical educational framework for nurse practitioner …
Reducing Readmission Rates In Acute Pancreatitis Through Patient Education And Risk Assessment, Jordan T. Vulcano
Reducing Readmission Rates In Acute Pancreatitis Through Patient Education And Risk Assessment, Jordan T. Vulcano
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Background: Early hospital readmissions are a direct burden on both our patients’ well-being and health care system as a whole. Acute pancreatitis is a top offender, with countless 30-day readmissions. Studies have showed a consistently higher than average 30-day readmission rates in acute pancreatitis, around 19%. This is significantly higher than the average all-cause readmission rate at Aurora Health Care hospitals. This quality improvement project aimed to reduce the rate of acute pancreatitis 30-day readmission rates at several Aurora hospitals through patient education and a readmission risk assessment tool.
Purpose: To clarify some of the risk factors associated with acute …
Operating Room First Start Efficiency Throughout A Large Urban Hospital System, Callie Cox Bauer, Kiley A. Bernhard, Danielle M. Greer, Scott Kamelle
Operating Room First Start Efficiency Throughout A Large Urban Hospital System, Callie Cox Bauer, Kiley A. Bernhard, Danielle M. Greer, Scott Kamelle
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Background: Operating room delays decrease health care system efficiency and increase hospital costs. Data on delays in a multihospital system are sparse.
Purpose: In an effort to improve our operating room efficiency, we investigated operating room delays, the causes and the impending financial impact.
Methods: A retrospective analysis on first case-of-the-day surgeries at three hospitals during 2013 was conducted. Delays were defined as in-room time being after scheduled surgery start time. Length of delay and causes were recorded. Patient demographics, body mass index, hospital facility, total number of procedures, provider specialty and time of patient arrival were incorporated into a …
