Item Evidence-Based Practice Remote Patient Monitoring Curriculum Development: A Descriptive Pilot Project(2020-12) Wolf, Irene; Roussel, Linda; Tietze, Mari; Bailey, CatherineThe purpose of this project was to build a remote patient monitoring (RPM) evidence-based practice (EBP) curriculum using a curriculum matrix. The curriculum matrix includes technology, patient safety/quality, role, industry, and clinical skills to complete learning objectives regarding RPM information, applications, and clinical decision-making. Methodology: This quality improvement project used subject matter experts were used to obtain a Content Validity Index (CVI) score on pre- and post-test surveys that measured RPM knowledge, experience, and attitude. The pre-test survey, RPM module, and post-test surveys were presented to online students obtaining a master’s or doctorate. Results: Quantitative results indicated that knowledge and experience were significantly improved with RPM content. There was no difference in the attitude score, which may be related to the students themselves because of a high pre-survey score of 9.4 for attitude. The significant results from this pilot project warrant expansion to a larger sample and other universities.Item Increasing awareness of over-the-counter measures to decrease allergy symptoms: A quality improvement project(2020) Dudley, Robert; Roussel, Linda; Tietze, MariProblem:Item Nurse practitioner-driven interprofessional heart failure education: A quality improvement project(2020) Luo, Lixian; Roussel, LindaHeart failure is a worldwide clinical concern, which has increased the healthcare expenditures, downgraded patient’s quality of life, and contributed to a large number of deaths every year. HF is the most common cause of readmission for Medicare patients in the United States. The cost of HF readmissions and Emergency Room visits are potentially preventable. Effective HF education can decrease 30-day readmissions and promote early post-discharge follow-up adherence. The nurse practitioner (NP)-led HF quality (QI) initiative provided to HF patients a 60-minute education program based on the American Heart Association guidelines. This QI project incorporated interprofessional team support to the participants during 30 days of the timeframe in a large teaching hospital. The results revealed the positive outcomes for targeted project measures among participants. The organization continues the HF educational program on the cardiology units based on the success of the project.
