Background: Nursing education is engaged in efforts to respond and adapt to the dynamic fluctuations of health care in the United States. Population health has been revived in this venue of health care involvement in the community and social determinants of health.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to define population health and identify topics to include in the undergraduate curriculum, teaching strategies, and skills and competencies needed by new nurses for implementation of population health to improve health outcomes.
Methods: The study had a mixed-methods design with a survey and an interview distributed to public/community health faculty across the United States.
Results: Extensive population health topics were suggested for the curriculum, but a significant lack of a structured framework and consistent concepts was noted.
Conclusions: Topics identified in the survey and through the interviews are illustrated in the tables. These will assist in integrating and scaffolding population health throughout a nursing curriculum.

Goal-directed administration of blood components including red cells, platelets, plasma, and factor concentrates plays a critical role in the management of intraoperative coagulopathy. Increasingly commonly used, purified and recombinant factor concentrates are being recognized for their logistical advantages and potentially superior efficacy. Three- and four-factor prothrombin concentrates, fibrinogen concentrates and activated factor VII have an evolving evidence base relative to frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate.

Anemia and red blood cell transfusion are associated with adverse outcomes. Large randomized trials have demonstrated that restrictive transfusion strategies can safely reduce patient exposure to transfusion, forming a foundational pillar of patient blood management. The restrictive transfusion thresholds in these trials ranged from 7 to 8 g/dL for different populations and this variability is reflected in recent guideline recommendations for transfusion triggers.
