From an Informatics Lens: Dashboards for Hospital Nurse Managers Influencing Unit Patient Outcomes.
Comput Inform Nurs
November 2024
Author Affiliations: Sinclair School of Nursing, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO.
Dashboards display hospital quality and patient safety measures aimed to improve patient outcomes. Although literature establishes dashboards aid quality and performance improvement initiatives, research is limited from the frontline nurse manager's perspective. This study characterizes factors influencing hospital nurse managers' use of dashboards for unit-level quality and performance improvement with suggestions for dashboard design.

Purpose: Highly sensitized patients (HSPs) with kidney failure have limited access to kidney transplantation and poorer post-transplant outcomes. Prioritizing HSPs in kidney allocation systems and expanding the pool of deceased donors available to them has helped to reduce their wait times for transplant and enhanced post-transplant outcomes. The Canadian HSP Program was established by Canadian Blood Services in collaboration with provincial organ donation and transplantation programs throughout the country to increase transplant opportunities for transplant candidates needing very specific matches from deceased kidney donors.

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, 50 E 98th St, Apt 10J-3, 10029, New York, NY, USA.
Background: The Surprise Question (SQ) - Would you be surprised if this patient died within the next 6 months? - is a validated tool for mortality prediction. The Mount Sinai Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) incorporated the SQ into a novel EHR workflow to identify patients who would benefit from early initiation of Palliative Care (PC).
Methods: Implementation of the SQ proceeded in two steps.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential tool in pediatric imaging. It offers detailed, high-contrast images without ionizing radiation, making it particularly suitable for children. Creating an efficient MRI service is challenging given the balancing priorities of image quality and scan time and the overlying logistical challenges, including MRI safety protocols, the need for sedation in certain patient populations, and flexibility to accommodate patients at different phases of care.

Background: Music-induced hearing loss (MIHL) is a critical public health issue. During music instruction, students and teachers are at risk of developing hearing loss due to exposure to loud and unsafe sound levels that can exceed 100 dBA. Prevention of MIHL in music students must be a desired action of all music educators.
