Wound And Stoma Care Education For Primary Care Providers, Deanna Garza

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects

Abstract

Problem. Patients with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes and their families report physical and psychosocial changes associated with complications after gastrointestinal surgeries. They are at particular risk for tube dislodgement, leakage, infection, poor fit, and skin irritation. The lack of specialization and fundamental stoma care knowledge among community health care providers potentially results in unintended consequences, leaving the system inefficient with fundamental inequities of stoma care delivery. While there is an increasing amount of accessibility to specialty centers for other types of wound care, stoma care support resources are scarce and not readily available to patients.

What's All The Buzzy About? Using Cryotherapy And Vibration For Pain During Vaccinations In Children, Marta L. Byma

Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports

Vaccinations are the most common painful needle procedure, with an estimated 12 billion injections given per year (CDC, 2019). The usual method for administration of vaccinations is through needle puncture, which is often painful. Children often report receiving a shot as one of the most feared and painful experiences (McMurtry et al., 2015). The purpose of this evidence-based practice (EBP) project was to improve patient experiences by decreasing the pain that is associated with vaccinations through the use of a nonpharmacological method for comfort via the Buzzy® device.

Results Of Lung Cancer Screening In The Community., John R Handy, Michael Skokan, Erika Rauch, Steven Zinck, Rachel E Sanborn, Svetlana Kotova, Mansen Wang

Articles, Abstracts, and Reports

PURPOSE: To address doubts regarding National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) generalizability, we analyzed over 6,000 lung cancer screenings (LCSs) within a community health system.

METHODS: Our LCS program included 10 sites, 7 hospitals (2 non-university tertiary care, 5 community) and 3 free-standing imaging centers. Primary care clinicians referred patients. Standard criteria determined eligibility. Dedicated radiologists interpreted all LCSs, assigning Lung Imaging Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) categories. All category 4 Lung-RADS scans underwent multidisciplinary review and management recommendations. Data was prospectively collected from November 2013 through December 2018 and retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTS: Of 4,666 referrals, 1,264 individuals were excluded or …

Point-Of-Care Reminders To Prompt Provider Adherence With Diabetes Care Guidelines For Adults, Eric E. Spohn

Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports

Diabetes is a complex, chronic illness, and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality (ODPHP, 2019). Gaps in diabetes care exist between clinical guidelines and interventions provided in the clinical setting (ADA, 2015; Chauhan et al., 2017; Renders et al., 2001; Worswick et al., 2013). Improved diabetes management strategies and interventions among healthcare providers are essential to close the quality gap. The purpose of this evidenced-based practice (EBP) project was to prompt providers to adhere to diabetes care guidelines using a paper point-of-care reminder over a 12-week period. Provider performance rates covering four specific guidelines were measured: HbA1c, microalbuminuria, diabetic …

A Descriptive Study Of Racial Inequalities In Mortality From Hepatocellular Cancer Before And After Licensure Of Lifesaving Drugs For Hepatitis C Virus In The United States, Robert S Levine, Maria C Mejia, Jason L Salemi, Sandra J Gonzalez, Muktar H Aliyu, Baqar A Husaini, Roger J Zoorob, Charles H Hennekens

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

BACKGROUND: Since 1979, mortality from hepatocellular cancer (HCC) has doubled in the United States (US). Lifesaving drugs, prohibitively expensive for some, were approved and marketed to treat hepatitis C virus (HCV), a major risk factor for HCC, beginning in 1997. After the prior introduction of other lifesaving innovations, including active retroviral drug therapy for human immunodeficiency virus and surfactant for respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn, racial inequalities in their mortalities increased in the US. In this descriptive study, we explored racial inequalities in mortality from HCC before and after licensure of HCV drugs in the US.

METHODS: The US …

Quality Improvement: Improving Depression Screening Rates At Pmg Southeast Family Medicine Clinic, Elizabeth Deyo, Edward Kim, Tyler Nelson, Roxanne Thomas, Jemie Walrod, Nicholas Wolfgang, Ben Pederson

Milwaukie Family Medicine 2020

Introduction: Major depressive disorder is one of the most common mental health problems encountered by primary care providers in the U.S. For people age 12 and older, prevalence is estimated at eight percent. The economic cost of depression has been estimated at $210.5 billion per year, attributed to both costs to the work place and medical costs. People who experience depression are at greater risk for suicide, an otherwise preventable death if depression can be recognized and adequately treated. For these reasons, depression screening has become an essential function within primary care practices both within Providence and nation-wide.

Necrotizing Fasciitis – Time Is Of The Essence, Jeffrey Sun, Edward Kim

Milwaukie Family Medicine 2020

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a life threatening rapidly progressive soft tissue infection that carries a high mortality rate. There are approximately 500-1,500 cases per year in the United States with a mortality rate of up to 18-20%. Without surgical intervention, the mortality rate is near 100%. NF can be characterized by tissue involvement, polymicrobial or monomicrobial etiology, or site of infection. The most common risk factor includes diabetes (reported in up to 60% of cases), IV drug use history, malnutrition, and chronic alcohol abuse. In about 50% of group A streptococcus cases, there is an associated streptococcal toxic shock syndrome …
