Item Initial specimen diversion technique to reduce blood culture contamination(2023) Tompkins, Jessica; Schache, Katrina; 2023 MU Health Care Evidence Based Practice Poster Day"Problem: Burdens on healthcare systems including unnecessary antibiotic administration, longer length of stay, and greater cost. Typically caused by improper technique when drawing, but can also be from skin bacteria. In a 600-bed academic hospital, 5.6% blood culture contamination rate above national benchmark of 3%. Literature review PICOT: Does the initial specimen diversion technique reduce blood culture contamination?"--Introduction.Item Perceptions, barriers, and methods for the early detection and intervention of clinical deterioration in hospitalized adults(2023) Mock, Benjamin; 2023 MU Health Care Evidence Based Practice Poster Day"Significant clinical changes in neurological and respiratory function of patients are associated with increased mortality. Minor changes of these functions have been noted within 24 hours of an inpatient death associated with a clinical decline (CD) event (Buist et al., 2004). Components of detection tools are founded on evidence that is overwhelmingly retrospective. A common limitation of CD detection is that these tools are often accurate at predicting decline but are not as successful at preventing decline (Downey et al., 2017). These tools emphasize the predictability of decline from data that already exists within the Electronic Health Record (EHR), primarily vital signs and neurological function (Downey et al., 2017). A growing body of evidence suggests indicators of nursing concern and usability have been excluded from these tools (Jensen et al., 2019). A landmark study from the Institute of Medicine estimates roughly 44,000-98,000 preventable inpatient deaths occur every year within the US (Donaldson, Corrigan, & Kohn, 2000). Exploring the role of nursing in preventing the failure to rescue phenomenon will play a pivotal role in reducing preventable harm and death for adults receiving inpatient care."--Introduction.Item Addressing alarm fatigue in the intensive care settings : quality improvement framework to reduce secondary alarm notification volume(2023) Mock, Benjamin; Buchheit, Yvonne; Edwards, Bob; Ryan, Jaqueline; Hoehne, Jessica; Strathmann-Vargas, Dawnel; Creel, Alana; Creamer, Tom; Dowler, Melissa; Dunlap, Micah; 2023 MU Health Care Evidence Based Practice Poster Day" For nurses working in intensive care units(ICUs),does standardizing middleware algorithms and SAN device notification pathways reduce notification volume and perceptions of alarm fatigue in 5months?"--Research Question.Item Behavioral emergency response team (BERT) implementation(2023) Miner, Monica; 2023 MU Health Care Evidence Based Practice Poster Day"Violence is on the rise among healthcare workers. The Joint Commission recommends de-escalation training. De-escalation is the efforts to utilize communication with a patient to reduce agitation or aggression or to allow them to remain safe with the least restrictive methods of management."--Introduction.Item Improving pediatric nursing practice utilizing electronic K-cards(2023) McIntosh, Renae; 2023 MU Health Care Evidence Based Practice Poster Day"Kamishibai cards (K-cards) are forms created to find abnormalities and errors in the manufacturing business. Efficient and correct processes results green. Abnormalities or errors in a process produces a red result. Hospitals began utilizing K-cards as an educational and quality metric to reinforce compliance with evidence-based policies and nursing processes (Kamityet al., 2021; Lehaneet al., 2022; McVey et al., 2022; Salinas et al., 2021; Shea et al., 2019; Stewart, 2021; Wu et al., 2022). Nurses complete K-cards by watching other nurses complete a process, observing a patient��s environment or assessing a nurse��s knowledge. Traditionally, K-cards are completed on paper. Studies show that electronic K-cards are also successful (Corrigan & Mack, 2019; Frith et al., 2019)."--Introduction.
