From our December issue: Teena Nelson and colleagues at American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) report on the development of the ABMS Multi-Specialty Portfolio Program, which established a systematic process for review and approval of health care organizations’ implementation of quality improvement and patient safety work and allows organizations to offer continuing certification credit for that work.

Increasing diversity in clinical trials is essential. This article highlights the importance of understanding and addressing patient barriers to participate in clinical trials. At PRCCI, we're committed to overcoming these barriers and ensuring all patients have access to life-changing research. Let's work together to create a more inclusive future for clinical trials. #clinicaltrials #DEI #diversityandinclusion #healthcare #research

“The True Dose kit offers a unique opportunity to measure pharmacokinetics in clinical trials without the need for study nurses and hospital beds,” says Professor Thomas Helleday. For too long, clinical trials have faced significant hurdles—limited availability of research nurses and hospital beds often means slower recruitment rates and increased costs. This also means longer time to market. True Dose is here to change that. With our innovative at-home blood sampling kit, we aim to streamline trials, ensuring patients can participate from the comfort of their own homes. This not only reduces strain on resources but also helps improve patient recruitment and retention rates. Imagine a future where clinical trials are more efficient, accessible, and cost-effective. With True Dose, that future is within reach. #TrueDose #ClinicalTrials #PrecisionMedicine

True Dose is set to revolutionize clinical trials! 🚀 By enabling at-home blood sampling, we make participation easier and more efficient for patients, while also reducing costs and time to market! 💉🏠 #ClinicalTrials #Innovation #TrueDose

In the latest issue of the Journal of Clinical Pathways, Sheryl Riley, RN, OCN, CMCN, and Randy Vogenberg, PhD, provide a brief literature review on users, uses, and a recent electronic survey to de­termine how users use clinical pathways along with their feedback around their value. "With the rise of team-based and patient-centered care strategies in recent decades, the use of clinical pathways has expanded to include more nonphysicians care decision-makers. While man­aged care has driven the expansion of pathway use in hospitals and community practices, there is a need to rethink who uses or needs different types of clinical pathways," said the authors.

Implemented our first insitu sim today on our QI project of delirium identification and management by healthcare staff. It was a unique experience blending approaches used for theatre based sim with insitu simulation and included aspects of ongoing inservicing education. Thankful to our dementia and geriatric advanced practice nurses for collaborating with me on this and being present for the debrief as content experts. Key takeaways for the healthcare staff: ➡️Recognize new onset confusion even in the context of dementia or cognitive diseases. ➡️Complete a confusion assessment method tool for new onset delirium before communicating with MD ➡️Use of SBAR report ➡️Use of the delirium order set by MDs to ensure proper investigation of causes. 3 more simulations to complete over the next 2 months, then we will pull metrics from our EMR to assess for translation of knowledge and skills around delirium identification & management and compare to the baseline. We hope to have a positive effect on patient care.

The EMF Effect: Inspiring insights from Dr Michelle Dodds and Natasha Edwards from Redcliffe Hospital Emergency Department on their research into developing a paediatric peripheral intravenous cannulation package. Funded by an EMF Emerge grant, the project aimed to enhance the procedure for inserting intravenous cannulas in children under 16, which often causes anxiety for patients and families. The research team developed evidence-based resources, including a bedside guide and an education package, to boost clinician confidence and standardise practices. The implementation of these resources resulted in improved patient experiences, reduced clinician anxiety, and enhanced workflow efficiency. These resources have been successfully integrated into various departments at Redcliffe Hospital and have also been adopted at many sites in Queensland. Future plans include expanding the resources for broader applications in both paediatric and adult care, focusing on skills that alleviate patient anxiety during various medical procedures.
