An Interprofessional Precision Health Model for Assessment of Caregiver Impact on Polypharmacy in Elderly Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Team-Based Proposal.

Elderly critical care patients are one of the largest growing patient population groups according to Medicare data. More than 51% of elderly patients are discharged on inappropriate medications that have the potential to cause harm or interact adversely with other medications. Precision health has the potential to prevent adverse drug events and prescription of inappropriate medications.

Pilot Study for Assessing Nontechnical Skills in Emergency Medicine Residents: Why We Should C.A.R.E.

The growing regulatory and hospital focus on patient experience and patient satisfaction is evidenced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services implementation of Hospital Value-Based Purchasing and by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education milestones. However, there is a paucity of data examining the education and evaluation of emergency medicine residents' nontechnical skills (eg, communication and situational awareness) as they relate to patient interactions. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate a nontechnical skills rating tool with emergency medicine residents during their interactions with patients.

The Effect of Simulation-Enhanced Orientation on Graduate Nurses: An Integrative Review.

Unlabelled: The purpose of this review is to examine the state of science of simulation-enhanced orientation and its effect on graduate nurses (GNs).

Background: GNs are essential to the alleviation of staffing deficits, mitigation of patient safety events, and provision of clinically adept care. Successful transition from academia to clinical practice is often influenced by factors that compromise retention, increase attrition, and impair professional development.
