Skin Cancer Associated With Chronic Leg Ulcers in the Population of Olmsted County, Minnesota.

Malignant skin tumors in the setting of chronic leg ulcers (CLUs) are often underdiagnosed which may contribute to treatment delay and poor outcomes. The aims of our study were to determine the incidence and clinical characteristics of skin cancers in leg ulcers in the Olmsted County population from 1995 to 2020. We used the Rochester Epidemiology Project (a collaboration between health care providers) infrastructure to describe this epidemiology, allowing "population-based" research.

Elevating Evidence-Based Practice: A Multi-Site Workshop Pilot for Nurses.

Leveraging an established evidence-based practice (EBP) workshop at the Mayo Clinic campus in Arizona, the manager of Nursing Research asked local library staff to discuss the research process and to demonstrate to the attendees how to use literature databases to support their research projects and EBP practices on their units. The EBP workshop was presented via video conference from the originating location to two remote locations within the organization. Each remote site had a librarian in attendance to support the librarian at the originating campus.
