Innovation in Acute Care: Excellence Series
The goal of the course is to discuss how innovations can be recognized, developed, adopted, and disseminated amongst staff, as well as review areas where innovations are likely to change the provision of care. We will also explore the patient’s role in innovation, and how patient and family-centered care will drive ongoing changes.
Review the process of innovation development and dissemination.
Summarize innovations that are modifying the current healthcare environment.
Discuss the nurse, patient, and family roles in the future of care delivery.
Insights into Human Trafficking
Human trafficking victims are often concealed by their traffickers; however, studies show that many victims interact with healthcare professionals while they are being victimized. This places healthcare professionals in a unique position to recognize the signs and risk factors of human trafficking and take steps if they suspect a person may be a victim of human trafficking.
The goal of this course is to provide healthcare staff with critical steps to recognize and respond to human trafficking.
Identify the two major types of human trafficking.
Explain how force, coercion, and fraud relate to human trafficking.
Discuss federal laws regarding human trafficking.
Describe at least three barriers to identifying human trafficking.
Identify at least three signs that someone may be a trafficking victim.
Discuss steps to take if you suspect a person is being trafficked.
Introduction to Fetal Heart Monitoring
This course provides an introductory overview of intrapartum fetal monitoring, including the maternal-fetal oxygenation pathway, assessing uterine activity, and recognizing, interpreting, and managing FHR patterns.
Define the characteristics of FHR and uterine activity obtained via auscultation, palpation, and EFM methods.
Interpret electronic FHR and uterine patterns.
Recall key physiological and anatomical aspects of maternal-fetal circulation and select risk management strategies related to fetal monitoring.
IV Therapy Complications
Nurses deliver infusion therapy to millions of patients in hospitals, home healthcare settings, long-term care facilities, outpatient clinics, and physicians’ offices annually. Nursing professionals perform many daily activities involving peripheral catheter insertion and safe delivery of intravenous (IV) fluids and medications. The use of vascular access devices and IV therapy are commonplace in the acute care setting. With that said, clinicians must take caution due to the potentially serious and fatal complications that can occur from inappropriate IV fluid or drug delivery. Patient safety requires that nurses institute safeguards to avoid complications associated with IV treatment.
Discuss the maintenance and complications of peripheral IV (PIV) therapy.
Identify drugs that can cause tissue damage if extravasation occurs.
Recall the components for documenting a peripheral IV insertion.
Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Every year, workers are injured or killed when the equipment they are working with unexpectedly turns on or the residual energy stored in the equipment is released. Lockout/Tagout, or LOTO, is a set of procedures used to control hazardous energy during the service or maintenance of machine and equipment. The aim of LOTO procedures is to protect workers from the release of hazardous energy.
The goal of this course is to provide all staff with an overview of lockout/tagout procedures.
Explain key principles of lockout/tagout and why they were implemented.
Management of Liver Disease and Hepatic Failure
This course provides an overview of pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and acute management of liver failure, including pharmacological therapies and supportive care strategies. Participants will explore the latest evidence-based approaches to optimizing patient outcomes and preventing complications associated with hepatic failure.
The purpose of this course is to provide the healthcare team with an overview of managing liver disease and hepatic failure.
Identify the key clinical manifestations of liver disease and acute hepatic failure, including laboratory findings and physical assessment indicators.
Evaluate strategies for preventing and managing complications associated with hepatic failure.
Discuss evidence-based pharmacological and supportive care interventions for managing hepatic failure in acute care settings.
Management of Obstetric Hemorrhage
This is a brief review of how nurses and providers should address maternal hemorrhage in the ED. All emergency departments must be prepared for obstetric hemorrhage, which can cause severe issues or death.
Recognize signs of maternal hemorrhage in the ED.
Recall the management of maternal hemorrhage in the ED.
