The Journey: Nurses on Boards Coalition Preparation and Support Work Group
Nurses have the knowledge, skills, and expertise to bring value and leadership to a myriad of boards throughout the United States, with nursing leadership critical to the transformation of complex health care systems. The 2011 Institute of Medicine Future of Nursing report calls on nurses to lead at all levels in systems as well as in board rooms. In 2014, the Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC) aligned its mission with this charge, creating a goal, as stated on its Web site, to “improve the health of communities and the nation through the service of nurses on boards and other bodies.” A specific goal of NOBC was to have...

Nurses' Perceptions of Their Practice Following a Redesign Initiative
A significant number of quantitative studies have associated a positive or healthy work environment with job satisfaction. Nurses, patients, and organizational characteristics have been studied as contributing factors. Other studies have focused on structural or physical environmental factors such as noise, space, or lighting as influencing to satisfaction. Little research has focused on how a changed work environment initiated by an organization for improved patient care affected the nurses' perceptions of how their practice had changed. The purpose of this qualitative study was to determine nurses' perceptions of a chang...

Implementation of Technology to Enhance Nursing Practice Peer Review Processes
Nursing Peer Review is a foundational and essential element of professional nursing practice. It is a systematic methodology to improve nurse and patient outcomes. The process can be labor-intensive and cumbersome in managing data from diverse data sources, especially if the process is manual. Directors of Professional Practice in a health care system partnered with an external vendor to create an interactive software platform where technology was leveraged to streamline the review process including review of aggregate data and trend analyses and generate reports using an electronic database. This resulted in a 75% reducti...

Advanced Practice Provider–Led Strategies to Improve Patient Discharge Timeliness
This article outlines a discharge timeliness project where advanced practice providers are principal leaders of designing a safe and efficient patient discharge prototype. Design thinking was used to develop a patient discharge prototype that included 6 key areas that led to improved discharge times on a cardiac surgery step-down unit. High tech solutions were incorporated into the electronic medical record system to enhance communication across phases of care and inform the interdisciplinary team of patient progress.

Postimplementation Evaluation of a Machine Learning–Based Deterioration Risk Alert to Enhance Sepsis Outcome Improvements
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the timing and frequency of fluid bolus therapy, new antibiotics, and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) status relative to the time of an advanced EWS alert. We conducted 2 rounds of chart reviews of patients with an EWS alert admitted to community hospitals of a large integrated health system in Northern California (round 1: n = 21; round 2: n = 47). We abstracted patient characteristics and process measures of sepsis intervention and performed summary statistics. Sepsis decedents were older and sicker at admission and alert time. Most EWS alerts occurred near admission, and most sepsi...

Artificial Intelligence Forecasting Census and Supporting Early Decisions
Matching resources to demand is a daily challenge for hospital leadership. In interdisciplinary collaboration, nurse leaders and data scientists collaborated to develop advanced machine learning to support early proactive decisions to improve ability to accommodate demand. When hundreds or even thousands of forecasts are made, it becomes important to let machines do the hard work of mathematical pattern recognition, while efficiently using human feedback to address performance and accuracy problems. Nurse leaders and data scientists collaborated to create a usable, low-error predictive model to let machines do the hard wor...
