Antimicrobial Stewardship In An Urgent-Primary Care Clinic, Jian Connell Jan 2020

Antimicrobial Stewardship In An Urgent-Primary Care Clinic, Jian Connell

West Chester University Doctoral Projects

Antimicrobial resistance is a significant risk that threatens life, increases health complications, decreases antibiotic effectiveness, and increases healthcare cost. Overprescribing of antibiotics in outpatient settings is a key factor that has led to increased antibiotic resistance. There are more than 150 million antibiotics prescribed in outpatients annually; 30 percent of these antibiotic prescriptions are either unnecessary or inappropriately prescribed, with acute respiratory infections holding the position of the highest unnecessary use of antibiotics at 50 percent. Antibiotic stewardship is the effort to improve and measure antibiotic prescribing so that antibiotics are only prescribed when it is appropriate and necessary. This …


Every Drop Counts: Quantifying Blood Loss Can Lead To Early Detection And Intervention For Postpartum Hemorrhage, Christina Bouikidis Jan 2020

Every Drop Counts: Quantifying Blood Loss Can Lead To Early Detection And Intervention For Postpartum Hemorrhage, Christina Bouikidis

West Chester University Doctoral Projects

Abstract

A visual estimation has been the standard measurement for blood loss post vaginal or cesarean section delivery. Research has shown that visual estimation also known as estimated blood loss has led to an underestimation of total blood loss volume. This results in over 100,000 women per year in the United States that experience an adverse effect due to delayed recognition and treatment for postpartum hemorrhage. By quantifying blood loss, the volume is measured by a one to one ratio; one-gram weight is equal to one-milliliter blood volume. To promote the evidence-based practice of quantifying blood loss, a quality improvement …

Evaluating The Implementation Of A Risk Screening Tool To Decrease The Incidence Of Postoperative Nausea And Vomiting, Lauren E. Stoltzfus

West Chester University Doctoral Projects

Abstract

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) continues to occur despite medical advances over the years. PONV decreases patient satisfaction, can lead to postoperative complications such as dehydration and suture dehiscence, and it increases hospital costs. Evidence in the literature suggests a preoperative risk assessment screening and prophylactic antiemetic administration can decrease the incidence of PONV. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of a risk assessment tool and to determine if the tool would decrease the incidence of PONV. This quality improvement project involved collecting pre-intervention PONV data over a 6-week time period. The pre-intervention incidence was …

The Effect Of Acuity-Based Nurse Staffing On Nursing Medication Errors, Egidius Maria Eugene Waterval Jan 2020

The Effect Of Acuity-Based Nurse Staffing On Nursing Medication Errors, Egidius Maria Eugene Waterval

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023

Nurses spend on average one third of their time on direct patient care, and most on indirect care in hospital settings. However, nursing workload is challenging to measure in a systemized, accurate, and timely way. Patient classification systems are designed to capture information about nursing workload based on the illness severity of the patient (acuity) to determine staffing resources and balance nursing workload. These systems are instruments that group nursing care activities in different categories to determine patient acuity. Electronic health records provide opportunities to use available data sets to accurately, and in real-time, document many direct and indirect patient …

Examining Instructional Methods In End-Of-Life Nursing Education: Lecture Vs. Simulation, Jonathan M. Benson Jan 2020

Examining Instructional Methods In End-Of-Life Nursing Education: Lecture Vs. Simulation, Jonathan M. Benson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Undergraduate nursing programs have historically glossed over end-of-life care, if their curricula addressed it at all. This lack of instruction can leave practicing nurses feeling poorly prepared to deliver this specialized care. Feeling incompetent and lacking confidence may lead to poorer attitudes regarding this nursing specialty. Thus, effective continuing education activities are paramount in equipping nurses to provide this care and improve attitudes towards caring for terminally ill patients and their families. The purpose of this study was to examine how registered nurse attitudes towards end-of-life care are impacted using a simulation-based learning experience compared to a traditional face-to-face lecture …

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Practice Innovation Projects

Background: Nursing communication satisfaction impacts engagement and turnover as well as patient care which affects organizational profits. Although direct care nurses report dissatisfaction with nurse manager communication methods, organizations and nurse managers do not utilize best practice strategies. In addition, there is a lack of high-quality implementation studies of best practice communication methods, specifically on obstetrics units, to assist managers in improving communication methods. Methods: An electronic communication tool was implemented on an inpatient obstetrics unit at a large tertiary hospital in the Upper Midwest. The tool was accessible on all unit computers on the SharePoint site. The project leader …


Implementation Of Sbar Tool In A Rural Hospital, Molly M. Tschetter Jan 2020

Implementation Of Sbar Tool In A Rural Hospital, Molly M. Tschetter

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Practice Innovation Projects

Introduction: Patient handovers between healthcare providers during shift change or unit and interfacility transfers are a vulnerable time for inadequate communication. To ensure a handover is concise, healthcare organizations must implement and educate their staff on evidence-based communication tools.
Methods: SBAR is a communication tool commonly used during a handover. SBAR allows for a steady flow of report and a reduction of information missed. When nurses use SBAR, the efficiency of their report improves and handover time is decreased. By decreasing interfacility handover time, patients may be transferred to higher levels of care faster. By receiving more advanced care faster, …
