Abstract
Diabetes has been a growing concern in the United States due to the rapidly increasing incidence of this disease over the past decade. In their 2014 report, the CDC reported there were 29.1 million people diagnosed with diabetes in 2012, comprising 9.3% of the total US population. In addition, according to the CDC, 1.7 million people were newly diagnosed with type I and type II diabetes in 2012 with health care costs at an estimated $245 billion. Moving forward, the most effective approach is to empower and educate these patients to self-manage their own disease to decrease or prevent …

Introduction •The leading cause of hospitalization in the United States is heart failure among adults 65 years of age. •One million patients are hospitalized every year with a primary diagnosis of heart failure, resulting in a Medicare expenditure exceeding $17 billion. •For every five patients admitted to a hospital with congestive heart failure (CHF), one patient will be readmitted within 30 days of discharge . •75 percent of early heart failure readmissions are preventable. •Medicare introduced the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program that became effective in 2012. • This program established financial penalties for greater than expected readmissions for primary diagnoses …

Return To Work After Stroke: A Nursing State Of The Science., Catherine Harris, Phd, Mba, Crnp
College of Nursing Faculty Papers & Presentations
There is a lack of research related to return to work (RTW) after acute ischemic stroke. Historically considered a disease of the elderly, acute ischemic stroke studies have not routinely used return to work as an outcome. Major stroke trials have not routinely collected this data as an endpoint. However, the mean age for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has declined to 69 years of age, while the incidence in patients under the age of 55 has increased to 19%1-3. Changes in retirement age have also affected RTW as a consideration in stroke patients. Failure to RTW after recovery …

BACKGROUND
- Older adults are at increased risk for falls and fall related injuries, leading to loss of independence, disability, and increased mortality.
- Preventing injury and falls is a national Healthy People 2010 objective. However, physicians and other health professionals frequently fail to incorporate known evidence into usual care. Screening for falls is not consistently performed as an essential assessment in older adults by primary care providers.
- Multidisciplinary assessment can be an important component in preventing falls in community dwelling adults.
- In new practice models, such as the Chronic Care Model, there is an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, however health professions …

PURPOSE
To reduce the rate of hospital acquired pressure ulcers (HAPU), in June 2013, a large urban academic medical center switched from non-breathable to breathable under pads for incontinent patients lying on either a standard bed (low risk patients) or low-air-loss mattress (high risk patients). Standard pressure ulcer prevention measures were maintained. Staff on two oncology units sought to determine the effectiveness of breathable vs. non-breathable under pads in reducing the rate of HAPU and UAPU.

Developing The Value Proposition For The Role Of The Registered Nurse In Care Coordination And Transition Management In Ambulatory Care Settings, Sheila A. Haas, Beth Ann Swan
Department of Nursing papers and presentations
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (2010) established clear provisions for Patient-Centered Medical Homes and Accountable Care Organizations. In both, care coordination and transition management are methods to provide safe, high quality care to at-risk populations such as patients with multiple chronic conditions. The emphasis on care coordination and transition management offers opportunities for nurses to work at their full potential as an integral part of the interprofessional team. Development of a model for the registered nurse in care coordination and transition management provides nurses the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be a resource to …
