This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nursing Services represent approximately 40% of hospital personnel costs (Blegen, Goode, & Reed, 1998; Welton, Unruh, & Halloran, 2006). In this era of nursing shortages and debate about the value of the nursing role, ongoing evaluation of nursing interventions through an evidence-based practice (EBP) process is vital in validating the utility of nursing services, particularly with respect to patient outcomes. Few healthcare professionals would disagree that nurses play a key role in influencing outcomes related to the incidence of patient falls and patient satisfaction. When there appears to be a direct relationship between nursing interventions or activities and patient outcomes, the problem or particular issue is identified as "nurse-sensitive." This project evaluated the impact of a practice change, hourly nurse rounds, on patient safety, specifically patient falls, and overall patient satisfaction with the care provided on inpatient medical-surgical units." - from Overview.

Book excerpt: Abstract Background and Significance: The best possible inpatient experience is a priority for many hospitals in today's model of healthcare delivery. Achieving and sustaining measurable success is a key challenge. Nurse leader rounds (NLR) has been revealed to be an effective improvement strategy in some hospitals. The purpose of this DNP project was to analyze the impact of implementing daily NLR on patient satisfaction (PS) scores in two postsurgical units at Mount Sinai Beth Israel (MSBI) hospital in New York. Methods: This study used descriptive comparison to analyze existing survey data before and after NLR was implemented. The study took place in an academic, urban, tertiary care hospital in two postsurgical units. Data were collected using the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey reflecting questions to measure patient's perceptions of care, specifically, assessing the nurse related communication to examine if there was a relationship between NLR and PS scores. Results: Patient perception data summarized in this study suggested that the implementation of NLR was associated with increased levels of patient satisfaction with communication (SC) with nurses following NLR in the inpatient setting on two post-surgical units. The results indicated significant difference between the pre and post scores of SC in nurse related questions referring to communication (Appendix A). Conclusion: Effective implementation of NLR can improve patient perception of care. Improvements in nurse communication impacted PS. Areas for improvement were to focus on patient self-management of care and medication education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The healthcare landscape in the United States today is undergoing a transformation. Driven largely by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandatory healthcare insurance for everyone including those individuals with preexisting conditions, and by the change in how the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) reimburse hospitals, to a patient ssatisfaction dependant model. For most hospitals the new objective is to not only reduce adverse hospital related events while improving the patient outcome but to now also to include increasing patient satisfaction. Nurses and the care they provide directly impact the patients satisfaction. Nursing rounds particularly hourly nursing rounds have been shown to reduce anxiety and increases satisfaction for patients during their hospitalization. When patients feel safe and satisfied with their care, they are more likely to return/answer surveys with satisfactory marks, and also recommend the facility to friends and loved ones.

Nursing Outcomes: State of the Science is an invaluable resource for nurse researchers, scholars, and health care professionals committed to effective, quality nursing care as evidenced by nursing-sensitive outcomes measurement. This text concentrates on outcome indicators which focus on how patients and their conditions are affected by their interaction with nursing staff. Each chapter includes a concept analysis of the outcome concept; then defining characteristics are identified and a conceptual definition is proposed. Factors that influence the outcome concept are discussed, as well as the consequences for clients' health and well-being. The strength of the evidence is reviewed concerning the sensitivity of the outcome concept to nursing structure variables and nursing/processes interventions. The author offers a comprehensive synthesis of the literature, critically reviews the quality of the evidence, and provides direction for the selection of outcome variables

Book excerpt: Hospitals face increasingly high pressure to maintain quality care as evidenced by patient satisfaction as well as patient safety scores. The rigorous gravity of satisfaction and safety are factors that affect the return of satisfied patients and payment by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) (Hagland, 2011). Because nurses are seen as key providers and are the ones that are typically perceived as providers of timely pain management, ones who develop healthy, trusting relationships and communicators of much of the information that is provided in a hospital setting, many satisfaction scores are based on the quality of nurse care delivered. Due to the importance of nursing and their overall impact on patient's as well as hospital's bottom line, it imperative that the nurse excel at meeting and exceeding patient expectations. When nursing staff is overwhelmed and understaffed, the patient suffers. The suffering can cause longer stays and increased financial burden on the patient as well as the hospital. One way to improve outcomes is to design and implement an hourly or intentional rounding program to ensure that the patient's needs are being met and that patients feel well taken care of. There are different situations in a variety of facilities that can benefit from hourly rounding. The need to develop an program that is tailored to the necessities of a specific floor or unit is crucial in the success of the program. Based on research, hourly rounding can make a positive impact on patient and nurse satisfaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective implementation of nursing staff proactive rounding, a structured method of consistent proactive inquiry and responsiveness to patient needs, has been linked to improved patient satisfaction. Barriers and challenges to proactive rounding processes must be overcome for successful and effective implementation and sustainment to take place. The purpose of this evidence-based quality improvement practice project was to pilot implementation of structured proactive nursing staff hourly rounding and effectively integrate it into current practice to improve patient satisfaction. The project utilized a quasi-experimental nonequivalent group design on a 39-bed medical surgical/telemetry unit to compare top box Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) patient satisfaction scores before and after implementation of a structured proactive rounding process. A total of 59 nursing staff participants took part in the educational sessions. This included clinical care supervisors, RNs, and patient care assistants. Two-sample t-tests performed on HCAHPS top box composites performed on August 2015-August 2016 data (including project month), revealed that the t-statistics were not significant at the .00625 Bonferroni corrected critical alpha level. The differences in top box scores were not significant. A clinically significant increase was noted in the domain “Response of Hospital Staff” from July to August 2016, increasing from 51.7 to 58.9 percent although less than the score reported from August 2015 (61.5 percent). Clinically significant increases in HCAHPS composite top box scores during the three-week timespan of returned surveys were noted in all but three top box scores: Care Transitions reduced from 35.6 to 16.7 percent, Responsiveness of Hospital Staff scores fluctuated between 50 to 100 percent, and Hospital Environment fluctuated between 50 percent and 75 percent. Leader rounding patient satisfaction data revealed clinically significant percentage changes. One-sample t-tests between proportions were performed for each of the leader rounding questions results. The difference between yes responses and no or na/no response answers for each question both before and after the start of the project were significant at the Bonferroni corrected critical alpha level of .007. Two-sample t-tests between proportions were performed on each leader-rounding question to determine whether there was a significant difference between the yes responses for each question both before and after project implementation. The t-statistic was not significant at the Bonferroni corrected critical alpha level of .007. The difference between yes responses were not significant. Clinical significance could be observed through increased positive responses from before project implementation to after in the areas of pain control, staff rounding every hour, staff assisting timely, and whether patients perceived they were getting rest at night. Reductions in responses were noted in the areas of whether caregivers are explaining what they are doing and why, and an increase was noted in the number who had questions regarding their discharge. Communication, understanding, accountability, and engagement are core essentials that can be utilized in the development of processes that contribute to patient satisfaction, including proactive rounding. Process development, implementation, and evaluation are shared actions involving both nursing staff and leaders. Further research should assess sustainability of proactive rounding and competency of the practice through a long-term study utilizing multiple units or multiple sites.
