During Nurses Week, every department at the Antioch Medical Center participated in the inaugural evidence-based practice/performance improvement (EBP/PI) poster presentation, led by the Professional Governance Council. This event highlighted how nursing professional practice directly improves patient outcomes, with topics spanning a range of innovative projects.
Topics included:
- C-Diff, SAT/SBT
- Mid shift huddles to enhance teamwork in adult services
- High risk walk-ins in the ED
- Surgical site infections in Perioperative Services and Maternal Child Health
- InterQual compliance in Coordination of Care
- Professional Governance Core Councils work on sepsis readmissions
- Mentorship via the annual review process
- Nurse engagement through interdisciplinary collaborations
- Hand hygiene
Showcasing these projects is vital, and not only acknowledges nursing contribution but also inspires ongoing excellence and demonstrates the essential role nurses play in advancing care.
