Patient Characteristics And Telehealth Visits In A Hepatology Clinic, Maria E. Walters
Patient Characteristics And Telehealth Visits In A Hepatology Clinic, Maria E. Walters
DNP Projects
BACKGROUND: In an attempt to decrease significant no-show rates amongst telehealth patients in a Hepatology outpatient clinic, a clinic-specific intervention was executed, which was efficient in decreasing no-show rates, however could not continue to be financially supported.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate correlations between demographic data and social determinants of health with patients who showed and did not show for their telehealth appointments, with an overall goal of determining if there is a need for targeted support for telehealth appointments to decrease no-show rates.
METHODS: Electronic health records of telehealth patients were reviewed in an …
The Use Of Telemedicine In Primary Care To Improve Medication Adherence: Quality Improvement Project, Chadae S. Haffenden-Morrison
The Use Of Telemedicine In Primary Care To Improve Medication Adherence: Quality Improvement Project, Chadae S. Haffenden-Morrison
DNP Projects
Introduction: Lack of medication adherence, a major issue in healthcare, can be costly to the healthcare system and result in poor patient outcomes. Wong et al. (2020) noted that enhanced involvement with health care professionals using the Telemedicine platform can improve a patient’s medication adherence as well as decrease the use of emergency services and hospitalizations. Telemedicine allows the healthcare provider, to contact the patient through a mobile phone or computer to provide education and reinforcement regarding medication adherence.
Purpose: The purpose of this project was to improve medication adherence and health outcomes, by piloting a quality improvement project using …
The Impact Of Icu Telemedicine On Patient Outcomes In The Surgical Critical Care Setting: An Observational Study, Megan Steely
The Impact Of Icu Telemedicine On Patient Outcomes In The Surgical Critical Care Setting: An Observational Study, Megan Steely
DNP Projects
Abstract
Background: In April 2020, the University of Kentucky (UK) implemented a division entitled the Enhanced Care through Advanced Technology Intensive Care Unit (eCAT ICU) to provide tele-critical care (TCC) services in all critical care areas at UK Healthcare. The eCAT ICU at UK HealthCare was the first TCC delivery system of its kind in the state of Kentucky. Use of TCC has been associated with improved patient outcomes and decreased costs.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze targeted outcomes in the surgical critical care population pre- and post-implementation of TCC at UK HealthCare. Specifically, the aims …
Evaluating The Use Of Telehealth To Manage Hypertension In Primary Care, Alexandra M. Wiesner
Evaluating The Use Of Telehealth To Manage Hypertension In Primary Care, Alexandra M. Wiesner
DNP Projects
Background: Hypertension remains one of the most common chronic conditions in the United States leading to several health complications and immense financial burdens, yet it remains grossly undertreated despite the availability of evidence-based treatment options. The 2017 guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association recommended the use of home blood pressure monitoring with a telehealth component as an adjunct to regular hypertension treatment; however, implementing this into practice can be difficult depending on the setting, available resources, and the knowledge and skills of the providers. Aims: The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate patient adherence …

The Smart Heart Self-Care First Pilot Program, Samantha Mancuso
DNP Projects
Purpose: The Smart Heart Self-Care First Pilot Program (SHSCF) offers a transitional care intervention focusing on the self-care of hospitalized heart failure patients who are discharged home. It utilizes assessment, communication and education components to encourage behavior modification (improved self-care) through telehealth methodology.
Background and Significance: Heart failure related admissions, as a primary or secondary diagnosis, are among the leading causes of hospitalizations in the United States (Emory Healthcare, 2016). Surprisingly, of those patients discharged with a primary diagnosis of heart failure, 20% are readmitted to the hospital within thirty days (Feltner et. al, 2014). Heart failure related re-hospitalizations highlight …

Pediatric Asthma Telemonitoring: Literature, Theory, And Application To Practice, Erin Christine Shankel
DNP Projects
Asthma is one of the most prevalent and costly chronic diseases faced by Americans today. It is marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways which fluctuates, often unpredictably, in response to triggers. As such, it causes particular challenges symptom management, especially on the part of the patient who is tasked with dealing with these frequent fluctuations for months at a time between regularly scheduled health care appointments. This is further complicated when the patient is a child, and symptoms must be interpreted and managed second-hand by a caregiver. Uncertainty about how to manage symptoms, as well as minimization of …
