#NURS646FA20 WK15: Advanced patient simulator (SimMan) labs provide a favorable environment for IPE. Health Science programs should begin to incorporate IP real-world simulations in curricula to enhance and stimulate key teamwork, communications skills, and role familiarization.
#NURS646FA20 WK13: Nanotechnology/nanotherapeutics have established a growing presence & promise superior expansion of medical science & health outcomes. This novel field is a positive development & is revolutionizing treatment delivery for relentless illnesses like CA & DM.
#NURS646FA20 WK10 uncomplicated and safe transfer of information to & from provider organizations are critical components of clinical decision support systems for efficient and effective continuity of care.
#NURS646FA20 WK8 LUNG CANCER = #1 cause of CANCER-related DEATH. CDC reports smoking & related sequelae are linked to 90% of these deaths. Smoking cessation promotion & strategic approaches can broadly impact population health. SmokeFree App employs CBT strategies to help quit.
#NURS646WK6: Existing interoperability challenges in HIT systems make SDLC S3 challenging yet critical. To promote the QIH national strategy & MU3 criteria, well-versed nurse informaticists & APRNs must be vastly involved in S3 to ensure products meet patient/provider needs.
WK3: Despite rising investments in HIT, the yield of population health & wellness is suboptimal. The variety of EHR systems and multiple care sites utilized by patients continue to drive adverse events & healthcare costs through breaches in the continuity of care. #NURS646FA20
#NURS646 WK1: The AHA (@ahahospitals) stands strong behind the use of information technology. By performing trend analysis on current & historical health data, the AHA serves as a major decision-support tool for important components of healthcare systems in acute care and more.
#NURS751 M10: CDSS in corrections and inmate (patient) involvement in their own health decisions is limited. They are not allowed to dictate treatment per law. To increase patient-clinician involvement, adaptation of the Mayo Clinic CDS for Diabetic Medications could be helpful.
#NURS751 M11: When I think of PBE Vs. EBP, I think of qualitative research vs. quantitative research. Having the potential to co-compliment, PBE informs practice with ethnographical & circunstancial/situational data, while EBP informs practice through controlled experiment data.
#NURS751 M9: Based on tools such as AGREEII, Cluzeau's Appraisal Instrument, & Shaneyfelt's Methodological Standards, the strength of Diabetic CPG for AZ prisoners is considered moderate; with significant room for improvement in content, resources, strength, & context adaptation.
#NURS751 M8: To help increase autonomy and knowledge among AZ diabetic prisoners, the Mayo Clinic Diabetic Medication SDM tool will be adapted when facing new DM Rx or current Rx decisions & changes. https://t.co/baCPt0OHyf (English & Spanish Versions Available).
#NURS751 M7 Limitations for the use of the KTAF is its lack of concepts regarding law enforcement or convict-specific considerations. Strong Inter-professional relationships and a strong understanding of correctional systems will be essential to implementation success of DM CPGs.
#NURS751 M6 The Knowledge-to-Action Framework will be the basis to advance better implementation of Diabetic Therapy & Nutrition for affected inmates. This framework developed by I.D. Graham and colleagues provides a basis to enhance correctional health implementation efforts.
#NURS751 M5: CPGs pose risks yet provide benefits for diabetic inmates. While transparency & validity of CPGs addressing diabetic inmate care are questionable, they provide some EB care & some care consistency in such a volatile environment with high staff turnover rates.
M4 #NURS751: Herbert-Non-communicable disease risk factors in prison populations. Systematic reviews and Meta-synthesis are equally important in developing EBP for inmates. The contrast and data combo aid in viewing healthcare deficiencies, outcomes & ways to approach delivery.
#NURS751 M3: The well versed and progressive clinician would understand that neither Qualitative or Quantitative research methods are inferior to each other. Rather, they are both part of the context that must be understood in order to create and effect instrumental EBP #EBPRev.
