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 …

Retrospective Review Of Phenobarbital Versus Lorazepam For Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome In The Emergency Department, Spencer Hayashi, Savita Bathija, Pharmd, Bcemp, Paul Vanemmerik, Nishat Mujeeb, Chris De Las Alas

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), in the US, alcohol use contributes to up to five million emergency department (ED) visits annually. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that can lead to complications such as hallucinations, seizures, and delirium tremens. For many years, the standard treatment for AWS has been symptom-triggered benzodiazepines, often dosed based on symptom scoring tools such as the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol-Revised (CIWA-Ar) Score. In recent years, the use of phenobarbital for AWS management has gained popularity, and studies investigating its safety and …

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 …

Not Just A Biblical Disease: Hansen’S Disease (Leprosy) Oregon’S Unique Differential, Zach Taylor, Justin Jin, Andrea Roast, Amy Dechet

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Background: Hansen’s disease (leprosy) is caused by a gram-positive, acid-fast bacilli called Mycobacterium leprae. It is very slow growing and has an indolent disease process. The disease is more prevalent in underdeveloped countries with poor access to care including Brazil, India, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Pacific Islands including Micronesia and the Philippines. However, it is becoming in creasingly common in the United States, specifically in areas with high levels of immigration from Micronesia. Case: Our patient was a 35-year-old Micronesian man who presented with 7 days of non-traumatic right hand pain with progressive swelling. He migrated to US from Micronesia …

Impact Of Pharmacist Concierge Service For Patient With Denied Prior Authorization, Ben Song, Jenifer Smith

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Prior authorization (PA) is an evidence-based utilization management process used by managed care organizations to ensure prescribed products or services are safe, effective, and medically necessary for coverage.2 While PA is important for assessing clinically appropriate medication utilization, however, denials can lead to patient dissatisfaction, administrative burden for providers, and delays in patient care.1,2,3 Recent studies on the effect of PA received mixed results. One study illustrated that in an American Medical Association survey about PA, 91% of physicians reported that patients requiring care experienced care delays, and 75% of patients abandoned their treatments because of obstacles associated with …

Acute Pain Management Of Hospitalized Patients On Medication-Assisted Therapies (Mat) For Opioid Use Disorder (Oud), Ryan Bower, Roland Mikkaeil, Emily H. Hsu, Tracee Mock

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Buprenorphine has been an instrumental tool in Medication Assisted Therapies (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD). For hospitalized patients on MAT, the management of acute pain presents a unique challenge to health care providers. A previous study examining buprenorphine discontinuation patterns on medical/surgical floors found that 11.8% of patients had their buprenorphine discontinued due to inadequate analgesia. Furthermore, none of these patients had their buprenorphine restarted prior to discharge. Discontinuation of buprenorphine in hospitalized patients has the potential for wide-reaching implications ranging from risk of withdrawal to relapse secondary to patient loss during the transition from inpatient to outpatient …
