Nursing Diagnosis Accuracy in Nursing Education: Clinical Decision Support System Compared With Paper-Based Documentation-A Before and After Study
Comput Inform Nurs. 2023 Aug 15. doi: 10.1097/CIN.0000000000001066.

Disparities in Comorbidities in Lung Cancer: Findings From the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Conclusion Findings show that there may be differences in patterns of comorbidities among individuals with lung cancer. As we continue to move toward individualized medicine in cancer care, future work in this area should examine social determinants of health and how they may influence the patterns of comorbidities. Implication for Nurses Although nurses may be aware that certain groups have an increased risk for certain comorbid conditions, this study highlights what groups with lung cancer may be more likely to have certain comorbidities. Nurses can assess individuals for comorbidities and provide education on...

Characteristics of family nurse practitioners and their preparation for practice in rural vs urban employment settings
Approximately 50 million people, 20% of the population of the United States, live in areas designated as rural (U.S.  Census Bureau, 2018). Rural Americans are more likely to die from heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, and stroke compared to their urban counterparts (Rural Health Information (RHI), 2019b). Deaths from unintentional injury are approximately 50% higher in rural areas (Cente rs for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2017). Increasing rates of substance abuse disorders, depression, and suicidality in rural settings continue to outpace rates in urban settings (Gale, Janis, Coburn,& Rochford, 2019).

Multimorbidity in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Is Associated With Greater Mortality, Higher Readmission Rates, and Increased Length of Stay: A Systematic Review
Conclusions Multimorbid patients with ACS are at a greater risk for worse outcomes than their nonmultimorbid counterparts. Lack of consistent measurement makes interpretation of the impact of multimorbidity challenging and emphasizes the need for more research on multimorbidity's effects on postdischarge healthcare utilization.

Take Care of Your Heart
February is American Heart Month, and since I am writing this in February, I decided it was time to focus on heart health. Cardiovascular disease (CVD; heart disease and stroke) results in 17.9 million deaths each year and is the leading cause of death globally.1 The number of global deaths is expected to increase to 23.6 million by 2030.1 Of particular interest to our female readers, heart disease kills more women each year than all forms of cancer combined. But nearly 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented with education and lifestyle changes.

Home Health Agency Factors Associated With Acute Care Hospitalization and Emergency Department Use
We linked the Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Data for Home Health and the Home Health Compare data for the year 2016 to identify home healthcare agency (HHA) characteristics associated with acute care hospitalization (ACH) or emergency department (ED) use. The study cohort consisted of 9,800 HHAs. Beta regression was used to examine the association between average age, race/ethnic composition, number of skilled nursing visits, number of therapy visits, percentage of dual eligible patients, HHA ownership, HHA location, Medicare tenure, proportion of patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, stroke, diabetes, de...

Respond, Intervene and Escalate: Acute Stroke Events in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit
In the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) setting there can be challenges in differentiating between anesthesia-related versus thrombolytic neurologic deficits. The ability to accurately assess, differentiate and escalate care is imperative to improve outcomes. The occurrence of acute stroke events in the peri-operative setting at a comprehensive cancer center emphasized the need for an evidence-based and comprehensive approach to assessment, communication and documentation of risk factors for thrombotic complications.
