Effects Of An Obstructive Sleep Apnea Screening Program On Providers' Adherence, Kelsie A. Tokarczyk
Effects Of An Obstructive Sleep Apnea Screening Program On Providers' Adherence, Kelsie A. Tokarczyk
Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a widely prevalent chronic disease estimated to affect 22 million Americans, with 80 percent of moderate to severe cases undiagnosed (American Sleep Apnea Association [ASAA], 2017). Unmanaged OSA has been associated with numerous detrimental health outcomes including hypertension, chronic heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions (ASAA, 2017). The purpose of this evidence-based practice project was to determine if the implementation of a screening protocol would affect providers’ adherence to screening for OSA.

An Analysis Of Major Issues For Culturally-Minded Professionals In Women's Health Care, Victoria Clark
An Analysis Of Major Issues For Culturally-Minded Professionals In Women's Health Care, Victoria Clark
Senior Honors Theses
Women's health care professionals, such as general physicians, obstetricians and gynecologists, midwives, nurses, and doulas, in the US need to be aware of cultural issues and disparities. Minorities and migrant women experience cultural challenges and disparities when receiving health care in the US. Without cultural sensitivity, patient care is compromised. Pregnancy and childbirth practices vary widely by culture, and potential differences in perspectives, beliefs, and treatment of these are critical issues for women’s health care professionals to study. Female genital cutting (FGC), obstetric fistulas (OF), and female cancer are also discussed in this paper.

OBJECTIVE: To describe a quality improvement project involving education and referral criteria to influence oncology provider referrals to a palliative care service.
METHODS: A single group post-test only quasi-experimental design was used to evaluate palliative care service (PCS) referrals following an intervention consisting of a didactic presentation, education outreach visits (EOV) to key providers, and referral criteria. Data on patient demographics, cancer types, consult volume, reasons for referral, pre-consult length of stay, overall hospital stay, and discharge disposition were collected pre-intervention, then post-intervention for 7.5 months and compared.
SETTING AND SAMPLE: Attending oncologists, nurse practitioner, and house staff from the …
