Overview
Brief Summary
This is a feasibility pilot study to introduce and evaluate an intervention designed to increase clinician awareness of their patients' urinary catheters, vascular catheters, and pressure injuries. This intervention, the "Patient Safety Display" will be evaluated in one hospital unit.
Detailed Description
This project will introduce and evaluate an intervention designed to increase clinician awareness of their patients' urinary catheters, vascular catheters, and pressure injuries. A "Patient Safety Display" will be implemented in half of the patient rooms in one hospital unit. The Patient Safety Display will display catheter and pressure injury data pulled real-time from the electronic medical record onto a tablet mounted at the patient bedside. This is an intervention-control design study that will be conducted with patients and clinicians at Michigan Medicine. The proposed intervention, the Patient Safety Display, will provide clinicians with key catheter and skin information at the bedside when pertinent clinical decisions are being made.
