Cluster analysis poster by Gracey and MalleyAndrew Bateman
I am pleased to be able to share more work that was presented this year at WFNR Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Special Interest Group. This is an example of the more technical research work done in our team: this poster is a good summary of a paper recently published, illustrating how we are continuing to try to grasp how best to assess and describe the needs of our service users.
The document summarizes research analyzing EQ-5D-5L health-related quality of life data collected from 1,906 patients receiving community rehabilitation. Therapists and nurses assessed patients and entered data into electronic records. Descriptive statistics and item response analysis were conducted to evaluate frequencies of difficulties across mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, and anxiety/depression. Results show the highest percentages of patients reporting severe problems with usual activities and moderate percentages for mobility and pain. Comparing patient groups with diabetes found similar rates of severe problems. The analyses provide information to evaluate difficulties, examine response category use, and start discussions on how findings may influence clinical work or examine therapy-related changes in scores.
Principles of evidence based medicine.
EBM means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external evidence from systematic research.
This document discusses evidence-based practice in obstetrics and gynecology. It notes that while there are many systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and guidelines available, barriers still exist that prevent clinicians from fully incorporating research evidence into practice. These barriers include a lack of time and interest in research among some clinicians. The document also discusses challenges in determining which study findings are both statistically and clinically significant. It emphasizes that evidence-based practice requires integrating the best available research with clinical expertise and patient preferences. Successful implementation of evidence-based practices requires commitment from leadership, resources, and changes to existing practices.
This document is a resume for Peter Umukoro, highlighting his experience in clinical research and occupational health. He has over 8 years of experience in research projects at Harvard University and hospitals in Nigeria and the United States. His work has included designing and conducting studies on workplace health issues like welders' exposure to particulates and nurses' risk of back injuries. He also has a ScD in Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology from Harvard School of Public Health.
This document discusses evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing. It defines EBP as making clinical decisions based on evidence from scientific research combined with clinical experience and patient preferences. The history of EBP in nursing began in the 1970s with projects that developed research-based clinical protocols and demonstrated improved patient outcomes. EBP requires nurses to critically assess scientific evidence and implement high-quality interventions. It can help standardize care, reduce delays, and increase confidence in decision-making while maintaining professional standards and guiding further research. Factors that facilitate EBP include knowledge, skills, beliefs, capabilities, tools, and mentors while barriers include lack of value for research and lack of time, resources, and administrative support.
QI theories relevant to PPE compliancelexie_daryan
The document discusses the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle used for continuous quality improvement and peer review processes. It notes that while peer review aims to improve quality, there are concerns that the lack of oversight and accountability could allow for personal motives to influence outcomes. Recommendations include establishing more rigorous standards and effective oversight of peer review proceedings to help ensure fairness and accuracy.

The CANS and Evidence Based Practice Implementation: Hanging Together or Just...emqff
The document discusses using the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) assessment tool as the centerpiece of an integrated clinical model. The model would use CANS for assessment, outcomes tracking, assisting with evidence-based practice implementation planning, selecting common clinical elements, and tracking quality of care through a clinical dashboard. This integrated approach aims to standardize assessment, competencies, use of evidence-based practices, and continuous quality improvement.
An interprofessional team at Vanderbilt University Medical Center participated in an in situ simulation training on responding to medical emergencies. The training included nurses, respiratory therapists, nurse practitioners, medical residents, and care partners. It focused on recognizing triggers for activating the rapid response team, performing CPR, and improving team communication. Shortly after one care partner participated, a real code was called and he was able to apply the skills and communication practices learned, which helped save the patient's life according to the code leader.
Prescription for Change: Barriers To Change In Health CareGayle Mitchell
This document discusses barriers to change in healthcare and provides a prescription for overcoming resistance to change. It identifies common causes of medication errors and barriers to organizational change, including fear of the unknown, lack of leadership and vision, and failure to engage stakeholders. The document recommends detecting barriers, recognizing influencing factors, and applying motivational theories to assist change efforts. It advocates using Six Sigma methods to standardize critical incident reporting and reduce errors, while acknowledging that technology alone is not sufficient and that human factors like culture must also be addressed. The conclusion reiterates that overcoming resistance requires clear vision, leadership, communication, and measuring progress.
The document discusses the changing landscape of healthcare and nephrology practice. It notes increasing demands from patients, payers, and providers that are driving transformation. The future nephrologist will need to leverage transformational leadership skills to build a clinical care team approach for effectively managing the growing kidney disease population. Physician leaders must extend beyond themselves to lead teams across different care environments like dialysis facilities and hospitals.
D Wyland Acute Stroke Power Point Ot Linked InDuaneWyland
The document discusses several topics related to acute stroke delivery and occupational therapy models. It outlines 5 common models of occupational therapy used in treatment: the Model of Human Occupation, Canadian Model of Occupational Performance, Adaptation through Occupation Model, Biomechanical Model, and Sensory Integrative Model. It also discusses managing infection control and patient safety, transferring duty of care to include use of specialist stroke units and multidisciplinary teams, and current UK legislation regarding stroke management and occupational therapy standards.
The document discusses two research organizations, the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). It summarizes several projects currently being undertaken by each organization, including a study by Memorial Hermann Health Systems using a mobile stroke unit that has shown positive outcomes for rapidly treating stroke patients. Another PCORI project aims to reduce opioid dependency by comparing different risk communication methods, but outcomes have not been reported yet. AHRQ is evaluating chronic disease self-management programs that have led to statistically significant improved self-efficacy. However, the author questions whether another AHRQ project enhancing data collection of patient race and ethnicity will truly illuminate health disparities or just
Models of evaluation in educational technologyalsalmi
The document discusses different models for evaluating educational technology programs. It analyzes studies that evaluated continuing medical education web-based programs using Kirkpatrick's model of evaluation, which measures reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Many studies found improved learning outcomes and performance through pre-and post-testing. However, the findings suggest more research is needed to determine which web-based learning systems best enhance practice changes and impact patient health outcomes.

Christopher Boulton, Falls and Fragility Fracture Audit Programme Manager at the Royal College of Physicians and Rob Wakeman, Clinical Lead for Orthopaedic Surgery at the National Hip Fracture Database talk about what they have learned by analysing the national hip fracture database.
This document proposes implementing a career ladder for clinical laboratory employees at a university hospital to improve employee retention, motivation, and recruitment. The proposed ladder would have several levels with clear requirements for advancement involving certification, education, and taking on additional responsibilities. Benefits of the ladder include improved collaboration, knowledge sharing to prevent expertise gaps, and reduced training costs. Implementing the ladder would require developing job descriptions for each level, performance review criteria, appropriate financial rewards, and an evaluation process to monitor the ladder over time.
Bea Brown | a locally tailored intervention to improve adherence to a clinica...Sax Institute
Bea Brown gave a presentation on her research for the Sax Institute at the University of Sydney for the School of Public Health's 2013 research presentation day.
Sihai Ma has over 15 years of experience in healthcare management, neurosurgery, and patient care. He holds a Master of Business Administration degree focusing on healthcare management from the University of Illinois at Chicago and received his Doctor of Medicine degree in Neurosurgery from Peking Union Medical College Hospital in China. Currently, he is the Deputy Director of Neurosurgery and Vice Director of Medical Affairs at Yuquan Hospital, where he manages a team of physicians and provides training to improve clinical and surgical skills.
The researchers conducted an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) using survey data from over 75,000 nurses across multiple states. They identified a four factor solution with 10 fewer items that was valid for both inpatient and outpatient nursing settings. One subscale was dropped and a new subscale measuring nurse-physician collegiality was added. The updated shorter version of the PES-NWI will enhance evidence-based management by providing a valid tool to assess practice environments across care settings.
Brianna Gutierrez has a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Seattle Pacific University, where she graduated with high honors. She has several years of experience in physical therapy, strength and conditioning, and recreation management. Her qualifications include strong customer service, teamwork, and time management skills as well as knowledge of exercise physiology, biomechanics, and functional anatomy.
Meaningful EMR Use - RESULTS SUMMARY with LINKBekki Tagg
This study surveyed family practice clinics in Alberta, Canada to assess meaningful electronic medical record (EMR) use levels and identify factors that contribute to higher use. The study found clinics in the Edmonton health zone had the highest EMR use level. Factors correlated with increased meaningful use included participating in programs like the Physician Office Systems Program, improving the implementation climate through clear standards and support, and ensuring a good innovation-values fit for employees. The study had some limitations like a small sample size and unvalidated scales for measuring EMR use. Further research is needed to refine measurements of meaningful EMR use.
Providing actionable healthcare analytics at scale: Understanding improvement...Nuffield Trust
This document discusses measurement for quality improvement. It explains that measurement in improvement aims to provide a basis for action to improve processes and outcomes, rather than just estimating parameters. Improvement measures should be simple, specific, and available in real-time. Statistical process control methods are important to separate normal variation from changes resulting from interventions. Examples are provided of run charts measuring improvements in recording BMI for mental health patients and compliance with care bundles. The document advocates making the theories behind improvement efforts more explicit.
Sally Redman | Early findings from SPIRITSax Institute
Professor Sally Redman AM, CEO of the Sax Institute, recently addressed a CIPHER forum to share how the SPIRIT trial is testing a program designed to increase the use of research in policy and programs.
CIPHER, the Centre for Informing Policy in Health with Evidence from Research, is an Australian collaborative research centre managed by the Sax Institute, that is investigating the tools, skills and systems that might contribute to an increased use of research evidence in policy.

The document summarizes the career of an anesthesiologist. It outlines their job duties both in and out of surgery which include administering anesthetics, monitoring vitals, and consulting with medical teams. The career requires extensive education including graduating from college and medical school, completing a residency, and becoming licensed. Anesthesiologists experience good job growth and opportunities with a national average salary of $197,570.
This document discusses evidence-based practice in nursing. It defines evidence-based practice as using systematic research findings to guide clinical decisions. Nurses are encouraged to gather evidence to answer specific questions about problems and interventions. Evidence can come from research, guidelines, experts, and experience. The document outlines how nurses can implement changes based on evidence by planning carefully, understanding the resources and impacts of changes, and measuring outcomes to evaluate the effects of practice changes.
The document discusses challenges in transforming healthcare systems and applying systems engineering approaches. It notes that while the US leads in medical advances, gaps remain in translating research into practice. Systems transformation requires integrating changes across multiple levels, sustaining gains over time, and spreading successful redesigns. Implementation science provides frameworks to study how research gets applied in real-world settings. Strategies include incorporating user needs, using data for decision making, and taking account of past implementation studies to promote evidence-based quality improvement.
The nature of worksites makes it is an ideal opportunity for obesity control and prevention interventions. The National Institutes of Health has funded 119 grants between 2007 and 2014.
Originally presented at the George Washington University and ICF International Research and Evaluation Forum (#GWICF2015), Dr. Charlotte Pratt, Program Director at the National Health, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), gives an overview of worksite obesity research and the key questions they aim to answer:
Do interventions that modify the worksite food and physical activity environments (or combined with individual approaches) control body weight in adults?
Will participation in a worksite obesity intervention sustain and maintain weight loss, and reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors in adults?

Comparative effectiveness research seeks to identify the most effective inter-
ventions for particular patient populations. Meta-analysis is an especially
valuable form of comparative effectiveness research because it emphasizes the
magnitude of intervention effects rather than relying on tests of statistical
significance among primary studies. Overall effects can be calculated for diverse
clinical and patient-centered variables to determine the outcome patterns.
Moderator analyses compare intervention characteristics among primary
studies by determining whether effect sizes vary among studies with different
intervention characteristics. Intervention effectiveness can be linked to patient
characteristics to provide evidence for patient-centered care. Moderator anal-
yses often answer questions never posed by primary studies because neither
multiple intervention characteristics nor populations are compared in single
primary studies. Thus, meta-analyses provide unique contributions to knowl-
edge. Although meta-analysis is a powerful comparative effectiveness strategy,
methodological challenges and limitations in primary research must be
acknowledged to interpret findings.

Despite remarkable scientific advances over recent
decades, the effectiveness of many health interven-
tions remains unclear. The Institute of Medicine noted
that evidence of effectiveness exists for less than half of
the interventions in use today.1 Scant evidence exists
comparing multiple possible interventions for the same
health problem.2 Newer or more costly interventions
may not be linked with better outcomes, and variations
in health care expenditure may be unrelated to changes
in health outcomes.3-5 The troubling lack of information
about interventions’ relative effectiveness led to
comparative effectiveness research (CER) initiatives.

An emergency department quality improvement projectyasmeenzulfiqar
The document discusses improving vital sign documentation during triage in emergency departments. It aims to investigate factors affecting vital sign data quality during measurement and documentation, and provide recommendations for improvement. A literature review found that timely and accurate vital sign documentation is important for identifying deteriorating patients. However, studies on nursing workflows and documentation of vital signs are limited. The objective is to study nurses' vital sign documentation process through a questionnaire of nurses and analysis of the data. Results showed teamwork and quality improvement efforts like education and training can enhance compliance with vital sign documentation standards during triage. Recommendations include departments addressing challenges in measurement time and reviewing results to improve performance.
The hospital is developing a nurse-run outpatient heart failure clinic to address high readmission rates for heart failure patients. The clinic aims to improve patient education, monitoring, and care coordination. The student has been asked to develop a plan for one component of the clinic - an orientation course plan, discharge education plan, or care coordination plan. The plan must be evidence-based, address patient needs, and indicate how effectiveness will be measured.

Evidence-Based Practice
The incorporation of evidenced based practice (EBP) into nursing practice is supported by research to positively improve the quality of care and improve patient outcomes. EBP is important to the nursing profession because it also leads to increased job satisfaction, teamwork, and levels of engagement in clinicians (Melnyk, et al., 2017). Miniature research projects such as quality improvement projects, surveys, and clinical research studies are frameworks used to get feedback and data from patients during their time spent in health care systems. EBP is not the standard of care in many health care systems (Melnyk, et al., 2017). This due to many factors, including lack of EBP mentors, nursing programs that do not incorporate EBP into the curriculum,...show more content...The research process includes an intent, design, timeline, setting, measurable outcomes, and a plan for dissemination of the finding. The purpose of the research is to generate knowledge or validate existing knowledge. Being able to identify the significance of these factors in different evidence based practices will help the practitioner evaluate whether that information is relevant to that population of care or individual. Understanding the research process will help the clinician understand the purpose of the investigation, if the results are valid, why the results are important, and if the results will improve patient outcomes (Arndt Netsch, 2012). A quality improvement (QI) project involves data guided activities with short timelines to improve health care delivery systems (Arndt Netsch, 2012). The setting of QI projects take place in a single setting and are monitored in the institution where the QI project is conducted. The purpose of a QI project is to change practice outcomes and apply known solutions to a known problem in that institution (Arndt Netsch, 2012). Data obtained from the activities is disseminated through newsletters, flyers, through staff meetings, or submitted for publication and presented in

Nurse Burnout and Quality of Care Word Review Paper HW.pdfbkbk37
This document provides a literature review on nurse burnout and quality of care. It discusses several research articles on this topic. The key findings are:
1) Higher levels of nurse burnout correlate with lower levels of quality patient care.
2) Nurse burnout can lead to job dissatisfaction, which is associated with missed or reduced nursing care, especially in nursing homes.
3) Individual, group, and organizational interventions can help reduce nurse burnout, but group strategies seem most effective. Further research is needed to evaluate the limitations of various intervention strategies.
Improving work environments and empowering nurse leaders are recommended to reduce burnout and improve the quality of nursing care.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

13. So problem #1 is that we haven’t

Importance of proms
Importance of prems

Some problems (with bias and thresholds)

Generic PROMS like EQ5D useful for

meet needs of patients
