Abstract Background Treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) can be delayed due to extensive documentation needed insurance approval. Pharmacists play critical roles in facilitating treatment approval, but the evidence regarding pharmacist-driven transitions of care protocols facilitate HCV approval and therapy initiation is limited. Therefore, we evaluated feasibility effectiveness a protocol treatment. Methods This was non-randomized, prospective, single-center study at large academic medical...
To design and implement "handshake rounds" as an antibiotic stewardship intervention to reduce inpatient intravenous (IV) use in patients with hematologic malignancies.Quasi-experimental analysis of (AU) secondary outcomes before after handshake rounds were implemented.Quaternary-care, academic medical center.Hospitalized adults malignancies receiving IV antibiotics.We performed a retrospective review preintervention cohort prior the intervention. A multidisciplinary team developed criteria...
Nurses perform several functions that are integral for antimicrobial stewardship (AMS). However, nurses underrepresented in research and underutilized implementation of AMS interventions. The objective this pilot study was to assess the effect asynchronous microlearning on inpatient nursing staff knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) regarding principles.A team pharmacists, physicians, developed 9 case-based, multiple-choice questions with accompanying educational explanations associated...

Methods In July 2019, the researchers evaluated websites from 76 North American dental collect information required recommended courses, credit hour requirements, Sub‐group analyses differences in funding, degree program, location, Carnegie...
To evaluate whether rates of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) changed during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in malignant hematology and stem cell transplant patients.A retrospective, cohort study.The study included patients admitted between March 1, 2019, through July 31, 2020, 2020.Rates catheter-associated urinary tract (CAUTIs), central-line-associated bloodstream (CLABSIs), mucosal barrier injury (CLAMBIs), Clostridioides difficile (CDIs) were compared to those a...
Concept maps are graphical representations of how various concepts relate to one another. Assessment concept developed by students in the pharmacy curriculum helps evaluate student understanding course material. However, providing feedback on can be time-consuming and often requires grader a content expert. The purpose this study was develop validate software program provide with their map performance. Student for four different disease states were compared against expert maps. analysis...
Abstract Background Nurses perform several functions that are integral for antimicrobial stewardship (AS). However, nurses underrepresented in research and underutilized AS interventions implementation. Additionally, lack of education training is consistently cited as a barrier to full nurse participation activities. We used novel approach nursing by utilizing an asynchronous mobile learning platform which delivered small amounts information participants daily via e-mail or text message. The...
