Importance: Emergency resuscitation of critically ill patients can challenge team communication and situational awareness. Tools facilitating team performance may enhance patient safety.
Objectives: To determine resuscitation team members' perceptions of the Situational Awareness Display's utility.
Unlabelled: Effective teamwork in ED resuscitations, including information sharing and situational awareness, could be degraded. Technological cognitive aids can facilitate effective teamwork.
Objective: This study focused on the design of an ED situation display and pilot test its influence on teamwork and situational awareness during simulated resuscitation scenarios.
Article Synopsis
- A study utilized qualitative data collection and thematic analysis to explore infection prevention practices in a neonatal intensive care unit, aiming to identify gaps and challenges.
- Key findings highlighted confusion around infection zones and insufficient design elements that may hinder healthcare workers' adherence to good practices, despite high hand hygiene compliance.
- The research developed a framework that suggests how thoughtful design can enhance infection prevention efforts, addressing issues like spatial constraints and workload pressures faced by healthcare professionals.
Unlabelled: Delivery of care by nurses in virtual environments is rapidly increasing with uptake of digitally mediated technologies, such as remote patient monitoring (RPM). Knowing the person is a phenomenon in nursing practice deemed requisite to building relationships and informing clinical decisions, but it has not been studied in virtual environments.
Purpose Of Study: The intent of this study was to explicate the processes of how nurses come to know the person using RPM, one form of telehealth technology used in a virtual environment.
Background: Monitoring the quality of nursing care is essential to identify patients at risk, measure adherence to hospital policies and evaluate the effectiveness of best practice interventions. However, monitoring nursing-sensitive indicators (NSI) is a challenge. Prevalence surveys are one method used by some organizations to monitor NSI, which are patient outcomes that are directly affected by the quantity or quality of nursing care that the patient receives.
