Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nurses play a vital role in improving the safety and quality of patient car -- not only in the hospital or ambulatory treatment facility, but also of community-based care and the care performed by family members. Nurses need know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes. To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), with additional funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has prepared this comprehensive, 1,400-page, handbook for nurses on patient safety and quality -- Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses. (AHRQ Publication No. 08-0043)." - online AHRQ blurb, http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/nurseshdbk/

Book Synopsis Fragility Fracture Nursing by : Karen Hertz
Download or read book Fragility Fracture Nursing written by Karen Hertz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book aims to provide a comprehensive but practical overview of the knowledge required for the assessment and management of the older adult with or at risk of fragility fracture. It considers this from the perspectives of all of the settings in which this group of patients receive nursing care. Globally, a fragility fracture is estimated to occur every 3 seconds. This amounts to 25 000 fractures per day or 9 million per year. The financial costs are reported to be: 32 billion EUR per year in Europe and 20 billon USD in the United States. As the population of China ages, the cost of hip fracture care there is likely to reach 1.25 billion USD by 2020 and 265 billion by 2050 (International Osteoporosis Foundation 2016). Consequently, the need for nursing for patients with fragility fracture across the world is immense. Fragility fracture is one of the foremost challenges for health care providers, and the impact of each one of those expected 9 million hip fractures is significant pain, disability, reduced quality of life, loss of independence and decreased life expectancy. There is a need for coordinated, multi-disciplinary models of care for secondary fracture prevention based on the increasing evidence that such models make a difference. There is also a need to promote and facilitate high quality, evidence-based effective care to those who suffer a fragility fracture with a focus on the best outcomes for recovery, rehabilitation and secondary prevention of further fracture. The care community has to understand better the experience of fragility fracture from the perspective of the patient so that direct improvements in care can be based on the perspectives of the users. This book supports these needs by providing a comprehensive approach to nursing practice in fragility fracture care.

It provides a detailed analysis and discussion of available research, critical evaluation of the assumptions and knowledge in the field, recommendations for clinical practice, a description of the methodology used to develop the guideline and acknowledgements of the 113 experts formally involved in the development process.
Book Synopsis A Study of Pressure Ulcer Complaints in Long Term Care Facilities Pre and Post Training by Peer Review Organization by : Sheryl M. Giordano
Download or read book A Study of Pressure Ulcer Complaints in Long Term Care Facilities Pre and Post Training by Peer Review Organization written by Sheryl M. Giordano and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pressure ulcers can cause significant health problems such as pain and infection for the elderly and debilitated. The objective of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of a federally sponsored training by HealthInsight, the peer review organization (PRO) for the State of Nevada. The training on pressure ulcers was provided to all health care providers July 29 & 30, 2003. The methods of the project included a structured instrument developed to evaluate the training program effectiveness pre- and post pressure ulcer training. The results of the project revealed that a total of 23 long-term care facilities in Nevada attended the pressure ulcer training. A total of 87 complaints related to "In-house developed" pressure ulcers were identified in the study. The statistical findings revealed confidence interval was 71%, which was not statistically significant. Those facilities that did not attend the training had an increase in substantiated "in-house developed" pressure ulcer complaints. The confidence interval was 86%, which was not statistically significant. A third analysis compared the number of substantiated complaints for those facilities who attended the training versus those who did not, after July 20, 2003 thru July 30, 2004. The confidence interval was 82 &, which was not statistically significant. The conclusion of the project found there would be no valid basis to recommend continued pressure ulcer training. The implications for nursing of the project would suggest continued education with future redesign of the project. The researcher supports education as a tool to increase the confidence intervals, improve resident outcomes and quality of life related to pressure ulcer prevention and care.
Book Synopsis Pressure Ulcer Prevention in Long-term Care by : Tan Vatanadilok
Download or read book Pressure Ulcer Prevention in Long-term Care written by Tan Vatanadilok and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: In Long Term Care Facilities (LTCFs), about 70% of all pressure ulcers occur in persons older than 70. The direct care costs associated with pressure ulcers in LTCF exceed $3.5 billion, while costs related to legal liability are even more substantial. Litigations in LTCF are likely to favor LTCF residents in up to 87% of cases while prevention of pressure ulcers offers high-quality, cost-effective outcomes. A systematic review of healthcare evidence reveals that while the development of pressure ulcers can have a devastating impact of LTCF populations, simple EBP steps such as using supporting surfaces, repositioning the patient, optimizing nutritional status, and moisturizing sacral skin can have a positive impact on reducing physical and emotional pain and associated healthcare costs. Purpose and Scope: The purpose of this Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) project was to describe the level of healthcare knowledge regarding pressue ulcer prevention (PUP) before and after participation in a PUP teaching intervention for LTCF staff. Using descriptive-interventional methodology, the study variable of nursing knowledge regarding pressure ulcer prevention was measured before and after participation in the PUP teaching intervention by the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Tool. The instrumentation included a 47-item questionnaire with 3 subscales assessing knowledge regarding ulcers, wounds, and prevention/risk. Goal and Objectives: The goal of the project was to successfully implement a PUP teaching intervention to LTCF staff. The objectives were: (a) to describe aggregate demographic characteristics of the LTCF participants, (b) to describe PUP pre-intervention level of knowledge, (c) to describe PUP post-intervention level of knowledge, and (d) to describe PUP level of knowledge before and after LTCF staff participation in a PUP teaching intervention. Plan and Evaluation: Phase One: Conduct a literary needs assessment using a published evidence-based critique template. Phase Two: Design a PUP teaching intervention using the EBP approach. Phase Three: Implement a PUP teaching intervention for selected LTCF staff. Phase Four: Evaluate the level of PUP knowledge before and after LTCF staff participation in the PUP teaching intervention. Ouotcomes and Results: Pre-intervention and post-intervention meaures revealed a statistically significant increase in PUP knowledge from an aggregate percentage performance of .81 at pre-test to an aggregate percentage performance of .98 at post-test. Moreover, scaled reliability estimates based on internal consistency for the full instrument achieved significance with regard to the tool's performance in this interventional design. Although further inquiry is warranted, the findings suggest that LTCF staff can increase PUP knowledge with focused educational intervention regarding the concept, and that PUP education in LTCF may serve as a practice change outcome worthy of further consideration.

This book was released on 2001-02-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the issues confronting America is long-term care for frail, older persons and others with chronic conditions and functional limitations that limit their ability to care for themselves. Improving the Quality of Long-Term Care takes a comprehensive look at the quality of care and quality of life in long-term care, including nursing homes, home health agencies, residential care facilities, family members and a variety of others. This book describes the current state of long-term care, identifying problem areas and offering recommendations for federal and state policymakers. Who uses long-term care? How have the characteristics of this population changed over time? What paths do people follow in long term care? The committee provides the latest information on these and other key questions. This book explores strengths and limitations of available data and research literature especially for settings other than nursing homes, on methods to measure, oversee, and improve the quality of long-term care. The committee makes recommendations on setting and enforcing standards of care, strengthening the caregiving workforce, reimbursement issues, and expanding the knowledge base to guide organizational and individual caregivers in improving the quality of care.
