Developing a Tool to Improve Critical Care Nurses' Access to High-Risk, Low-Volume Resources.
Background: The increased complexity of critical care nursing has resulted in nurses performing more high-risk, low-volume (HRLV) procedures, which may increase patient risk. Local Problem: The purpose of this project was to develop a resource for critical care nurses to more effectively manage HRLV...

Local Problem: The purpose of this project was to develop a resource for critical care nurses to more effectively manage HRLV scenarios at intensive care units at a large urban hospital to improve nurses' practice. Methods: CINAHL and Medline databases were searched using the keywords high-risk low-volume, HRLV, badge buddy, just in time, and nurse competency. Twenty articles were identified, and 4 were included in this project. An accessible printed resource packet was created as a form of education and reference in HRLV scenarios. Each packet was laminated and kept at nurses' stations and included summaries, "pearls" (highlights), diagrams, checklists, and QR codes that linked directly to facility policies. Nurses were invited to complete an 8-question survey 8 weeks after implementation. Results: Forty-three nurses completed the survey: 63% worked day shift, and 100% found the resource relevant. On average, the nurses agreed the packet increased knowledge, saved time, helped access policies, and influenced practice. On a scale of 1 to 10, the nurses rated the packet "very helpful" (mean, 9.09). When asked what was useful, participants indicated "easily accessible" and "finding information." Conclusion: The resource packet has been used in HRLV scenarios and with new nurses during downtime. It was easy to implement and can be individualized for many units and patient populations. It serves as a bridge to easily bring best practice information to the bedside. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
