Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

Clinical Trials

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Clinical Trials: Overview

Clinical Trials: Overview

Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Area of Science:

Clinical Translational Research
Health Services Research
Medical Staffing

Background:

The Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program aims to enhance human health via clinical translational research.
Clinical Research Centers (CRCs) are crucial for conducting studies supported by CTSA funding.
Standardized study visits require efficient resource allocation and personnel utilization.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the association between total visit length and the type of healthcare provider (physician vs. advanced practice nurse) performing a procedure.
To evaluate the efficiency of using an advanced practice nurse (APN) in a CRC setting for specific research protocols.
To determine if provider type impacts the duration of standardized study visits.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of administrative data from June 2008 to September 2009.
Comparison of total visit lengths for gluteal fat biopsies performed by a physician colleague versus a CRC-based APN.
Statistical analysis using generalized least squares random effects regression, controlling for patient factors.

Main Results:

Visits managed by an APN were significantly shorter (154.8 minutes) than those managed by a physician (192.9 minutes) (P = .003).
Provider type (P < .001) and patient gender (P < .05) were significantly associated with visit length.
The use of an APN led to a more rapid turnover of clinical research space.

Conclusions:

Employing APNs in CRCs for advanced procedures enhances resource efficiency and meets clinical research needs.
APNs can decrease total visit length, optimizing the use of clinical research space.
CRCs should consider hiring diverse clinicians, including APNs, to improve research facilitation and efficiency.
