Insights

Implementing outcomes-driven acuity technology in pediatric care improved evidence-based practice. A multihospital council expanded newborn and postpartum acuity outcomes to better evaluate nursing care

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Health Informatics
  • Pediatric Care

Background:

  • Evidence-based practice is crucial for quality pediatric care.
  • Acuity technology can standardize patient assessment and care planning.
  • Multihospital collaboration is essential for advancing healthcare practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the formulation of a multihospital acuity council.
  • To detail the implementation of evidence-based practice using acuity data.
  • To expand newborn and postpartum acuity outcome sets.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of a combined multihospital and health information technology acuity council.
  • Pilot project implementation of evidence-based practice.
  • Expansion of newborn acuity outcomes from 4 to 7.
  • Expansion of postpartum acuity outcomes from 9 to 12.

Main Results:

  • Successful cross-collaboration among acuity experts.
  • Implementation of evidence-based practice informed by acuity data.
  • Revised outcome sets for newborn and postpartum care.

Conclusions:

  • Outcomes-driven acuity technology facilitates evidence-based practice in pediatrics.
  • Expanded acuity outcome sets enhance the evaluation of nursing care's impact on patient outcomes.
  • Multihospital collaboration is key to advancing pediatric nursing practice.

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Guidelines for Writing Outcome01:11

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process III: Evaluation and Documentation

A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:
