Response 2 (Presentations)
Presentation 1
In the first presentation my colleague focused on small nursing informatics project that would help in reducing hospital falls. My colleagues presentation highlights the two technological tools that can be implemented in falls prevention. Although my colleague provides solutions on how falls can be prevented in hospitals, the presentation does not explain how the said solutions can be implemented. For instance, in instructing nurses who care for patients who are prone to falls, Morris (2017) suggests that for the said process to be successful, it would be prudent to include leadership at board and ward levels. Apart from assessing the root cause and testing the proposed solutions as highlighted by my colleague, the presentation would have incorporated risk management strategies. Essentially, a standardized assessment tool could be used in this case to screen for fall risk (Currie, 2008). According to the author, a tailored multimodal intervention is one of the most effective approaches in fall prevention.

…important in behavioral health owing to the fact that it helps patients understand their data outcomes. On the other hand, quality of psychiatric care is improved by ensuring that providers are able to review trends and scores in outcomes and thus provide immediate patient feedback. Apart from using emails and text, providers can also obtain metrics through wearables. The presentation failed to include barriers such as breach of confidentiality that may prevent the implementation of measurable-based care. To deal with the said barriers, it there would be need to incorporate strategies which are inclusive of, but they are not limited to;…

EBP project with Implementation Plan and Evaluation Plan Picot Question: Among the geriatric population (P), how effective are discrete nursing interventions (I) as against a complex fall prevention initiative (C) for reducing inpatient falls (O) over a one-year period (T)? Falls among the elderly are one of the leading causes of incapacity and injury. For facilities which have a substantive amount of elderly patients, creating a plan to reduce falls is a
AbstractFall Prevention Post AnesthesiaPurposeThe project�s goal was to develop a plan for the role of nurses as change agents to improve the prevention of patient falls in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). The aim was to establish baseline knowledge and prior training regarding patient safety and fall prevention according to the post-anesthesia recovery unit protocol and educate staff on implementing strategies to reduce patient falls after surgery.BackgroundPostoperative falls are
Hospital Falls Fall Prevention Falls are the leading cause of hospital related injuries in the United States. There are many surprising factors that affect patients in regards to hospital falls; they involve patients of all ages and over a range of different scenarios. As a result the fall incident rate has been the target of the academic world and professionals alike as inpatient falls are serious patient safety and quality issues. Fall
Nursing Informatics: Computerized Management Systems Could Increase Quality of Care A computerized management system refers to the use of hardware and soft ware in the managing process within an organization. Computerized management systems in a community-based health institution can be used in management of the organization and treatment of the patients.
