Item The Effect of Primary Care Providers (PCP) on Avoidable Emergency Room Visits in Underserved Patients with Type II Diabetes(2021-07-29) Coffman, Michala; Osei, Chelsea; Pelaez, DianaDiabetic patients in underserved communities can benefit from establishing a relationship with a PCP to manage diabetes and prevent avoidable emergency room visits. Collaborative care programs can be used to increase access to primary care providers in patients with diabetes who live in underserved communities (Carter et al., 2016; Chwastiak et al., 2017; Karter et al., 2017; Soto Mas et al., 2019). Emergency room nurses can collaborate with hospital administrators and community leaders to provide access to resources such as education on diabetes management.Item Effect of Provider-In-Triage Model on Emergency Department Efficacy(2021-07) Flores, Kristen; Rodriguez, Cristin; Walker, JenniferAccording to The Joint Commission (2019), appropriately managing the time a patient stays in the Emergency Department (ED) waiting room could affect the safety and quality of patient care. The Joint Commission published a standard (LD.04.03.11), which outlines the responsibilities of the hospital in managing patient flow through the ED. Various models of flow thorough the ED have been developed each with the goal of optimizing patient throughput for various outcome measures. Traditionally, ED models involved a nurse independently triaging patients and prioritizing highest acuity being seen first, termed nurse lead triage. Other models, such as provider in triage and split flow have emerged that may lend to further optimization of patient flow by redesigning the flow of patients through the ED and reconfiguring the triage team.
