There is insufficient research on the costs of patient falls in health care systems, a leading source nonreimbursable adverse events.
<h3>Importance</h3> Falls represent a leading cause of preventable injury in hospitals and frequently reported serious adverse event. Hospitalization is associated with an increased risk for falls injuries including hip fractures, subdural hematomas, or even death. Multifactorial strategies have been shown to reduce acute care hospitals, but evidence fall-related prevention lacking. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess whether fall-prevention tool kit that engages patients families the process...
Abstract Objectives Emergency department ( ED ) crowding results from the need to see high volumes of patients variable acuity within a limited physical space. has been associated with poor patient outcomes and increased mortality. The authors evaluated whether is also reduced hand hygiene compliance among health care workers. Methods A trained observer measured using standardized definitions for 22 months in 40‐bed 475‐bed academic hospital Toronto, Ontario, Canada. measures, including mean...
Objectives Hand hygiene is effective in preventing healthcare-associated infections. Environmental conditions the emergency department (ED), including crowding and use of non-traditional patient care areas (ie, hallways), may pose barriers to hand compliance. We examined relationship between these environmental proper hygiene. Methods This was a single-site, observational study. From October 2013 January 2014, trained observers recorded compliance among staff ED according World Health...
Guidelines recommend that patients with newly elevated office blood pressure undergo ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) or home (HBPM) to rule-out white coat hypertension before being diagnosed hypertension. We explored patients' perspectives of the barriers and facilitators undergoing ABPM HBPM.
Objectives Evaluation for a potentially life-threatening cardiac event in the emergency department (ED) is stressful experience that can result symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, which are associated with increased risk morbidity and mortality patients. No study has tested whether good clinician–patient communication ED better psychological outcomes these individuals it mitigate other factors (PSS) such as perception life threat vulnerability ED. Methods Data were analysed from 474...
Nurses' active involvement in clinical scholarship is necessary to advance the nursing profession and improve patient outcomes. Yet, definitional confusion numerous barriers exist across academic care settings. We discuss factors that pose continuum of suggest opportunities for clinician-researcher collaborations promote nurses' engagement evidence-based practice, quality improvement, research.
Background Isolation-based practices in nursing homes (NHs) differ from those acute care. NHs must promote quality of life while preventing infection transmission. Practices used to reconcile these goals care have not been characterised. Purpose To explore decision-making isolation-based prevention and control NHs. Methods A qualitative study was conducted with staff (eg, nurses, directors nursing) employed purposefully sampled US Semistructured, role-specific interview guides were developed...

BACKGROUND Existing knowledge of emergency department (ED) catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention is limited. We aimed to describe the motivations, perceived risks for CAUTI acquisition, and strategies used address risk among EDs that had existing programs. METHODS In this qualitative comparative case study, we enrolled early-adopting EDs, is, those using criteria catheter placement tracking frequency catheters placed in ED. At 6 diverse facilities, conducted 52...
Falls are a serious, persistent problem in hospitals. Ensuring that all hospital staff have adequate knowledge of how to prevent falls is the first step prevention. We identified validated fall prevention tests (FPKTs) and planned conduct systematic literature review. When review lack FPKTs, we developed evaluated FPKT, confirmed its conceptual framework, content domain, drafted test items, devised format, selected items for empirical examination, conducted psychometric evaluation. randomly...
