Abstract:

Hypertension (HTN) is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease complications, disability, and mortality. Delayed detection of HTN increases the risk of the patient developing heart disease, renal failure, and stroke, which are among the leading causes of death in the US. Educating healthcare providers is, therefore, necessary to ensure accuracy when measuring blood pressure (BP) to improve the likelihood of early detection and commencement of treatment. The BP teaching project involved the development of an evidence-based teaching program to educate nurses at an East Coast Veterans' Ad

The growing concern over the nursing shortage has affected the intensive care unit (ICU) and how these units provide quality care, adhere to best practices, and maintain high satisfaction scores. Implementing telemedicine technology allows the ICU to have additional staff available, via cameras at an offsite location, to assist with patient care. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the potential benefits of telemedicine application used within an ICU on quality of care, adherence to best practices, and satisfaction, as evidenced by data from the hospital's telemedicine dashboard.

Abstract:

Residential care in nursing homes continues to be necessary for those individuals who are no longer able to live safely and comfortably at home. The demographic change with increasing number of persons over 65 years in the next 20 years also means that the percentage of those who will require care in a nursing home some time before the end of their lives will increase. Therefore, anticipating this pressure to expand nursing home availability, it is critical that these services are developed from a profound understanding of what creates the best value.
