professional nursing practice model
On behalf of the Department of Nursing Services and Patient Care at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, I am delighted to present the Calendar Year 2019 Annual Report. The report is centered around the Professional Nursing Practice Model (PPM), a model that visually depicts the values, organizational structures, and processes that together provide a framework for nursing practice throughout the organization. The PPM was designed to ensure consistency in nursing care delivery and to define the authority, autonomy, and accountability assumed by all registered nurses as they provide safe, high-quality care for patients and families. The top portion of the PPM reflects our efforts to deliver this care to the Community—locally, regionally, and even globally. In order to ensure safety, interventions are implemented to help patients efficiently navigate their hospital stay without preventable complications and delays. Optimal quality outcomes are a direct result of team members’ knowledge and skills, and Safe, High-Quality Patient- and Family-Centered Care is based on mutually beneficial relationships developed among the health care team, patients, and families. Care is provided with dignity, respect, compassion, timely and succinct communication, and active patient and family participation in decision-making. The following six pillars comprise the middle section of the PPM: Leadership – Leaders are highly visible, accessible, and empower frontline clinicians to lead patient care.
Research – Drives innovation, clinical decision-making, and advances in health care. Evidence-Based Practice – New knowledge and innovations are implemented to improve care quality. Education – Patients and families are educated and empowered to make informed health care decisions, and clinicians are supported in pursuing advanced degrees, professional certification, and continuing education. Clinical Expertise – Exemplary clinical knowledge and skills allows clinicians to provide excellent care based on individual patient needs. Finally, our ICARE values make up the foundation of the PPM: Innovation – Innovative practice. Collaboration – Dedication to interprofessional teamwork and patient and family involvement in decision-making. Accountability – Accountable to patients, families, and interprofessional team members. Respect – Protect the dignity and rights of all. Excellence – Continuous recognition for excellence in patient care delivery and clinical outcomes by the American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet Recognition Program® since 2004. It is an honor to share some of the work being done by individuals and interprofessional teams within the Department of Nursing Services and Patient Care that is directly aligned with the PPM. Please take a few moments to enjoy the content featured in the Calendar Year 2019 Annual Report. Sincerely,
Cindy J. Dawson, MSN, RN, CORLN Chief Nurse Executive and Associate Director University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics
message from the chief nurse executive
Shared Governance – Shared decision-making occurs at the unit/clinic, division, department, and organizational levels through a well-established structure.

thank-you breakfast connects clinton firefighters and ui nurses Members of the Clinton, Iowa, Fire Department joined UI Hospitals & Clinics nurses for breakfast during National Nurses Week in May to express their appreciation for the care provided to firefighter Adam Cain. Cain was severely injured following an explosion at a Clinton grain processing facility in January that killed another firefighter. After returning to duty in May, Cain and fellow firefighters traveled to UI Hospitals & Clinics during National Nurses Week to share breakfast and give thanks to the nurses and care providers who treated Cain and helped him throughout his extended recovery.
“I think that just the appreciation for nurses for all that we do—not only what we do but for the profession of nursing—just a simple thank-you means a whole lot to us,” Nathalee Grue, MSN, RN, CCRN, nurse manager, told TV news station KCRG. “They’re all happy to see me, but it’s not very often where you get to meet someone you know that took a huge part in saving your life,” Cain told KCRG. “Thank you. I wish there were more words to say, but ‘thank you’ is best plainly put.” The breakfast aligned with National Nurses Week, which runs from May 6-12 annually.

inspiring tomorrow’s clinicians through stem Clinicians with UI Health Care make a big impact on the lives of patients. They also impact the lives of students through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education programs. Our clinicians participate in UI Health Care programs such as Girls Go STEM, Kids Go STEM, and Nursing Interest Day, which inform and inspire students about careers in health care. Perioperative Nursing, for example, delivers STEM workshops to middle and high school students, and the Department of Respiratory Care delivers STEM programs to elementary and high school students.

every body moves campaign sees success
In summer 2019, the Department of Rehabilitation Therapies and the Department of Nursing Services and Patient Care sponsored the #everyBODYmoves campaign, a grassroots effort to address immobility harm for patients in the acute hospital setting. For hospitalized patients, immobility can lead to health concerns such as loss of muscle mass and an increased likelihood of injury or illness. Helping patients become mobile, when they’re able, can help reduce length of stay and minimize the risk of hospital-acquired complications, readmission, and stays at a rehabilitation center.
IF EXERCISE WERE A DRUG, THERE IS NO DOUBT IT WOULD BE THE MOST PRESCRIBED DRUG THERE IS AND ONE WITH MOSTLY NO BAD SIDE EFFECTS. TO GET PATIENTS UP AND MOVING AS SOON AND AS OFTEN AS IS POSSIBLE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WAYS TO OPTIMIZE OUR PATIENT’S HEALTH AND FUNCTION. THIS PROJECT INVOLVED PHYSICAL THERAPY, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, NURSING, PHYSICIANS, VOLUNTEERS, AND OTHERS AND DEMONSTRATED THAT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILTY OF THE WHOLE INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM TO HELP OUR PATIENTS MOVE.” –Libby Kestel, PT, DPT, MBA, director, rehabilitation therapies
innovative approaches to reducing infections Dedicated Two Central Line Dressing Changes
Vascular Access Team Development
ɠ There has been sustained focus by the health care team on central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) prevention.
ɠ A new vascular access team, comprised of five nurse clinicians, was formed in July 2019 and fully up and running in October 2019.
ɠ In October 2018, the Stem Cell Transplant Unit led the way in implementing a two-person dressing change team to reduce non-mucosal barrier injury (non-MBI) CLABSIs:
ɠ The team’s goals include: ɞ CLABSI reduction through alternate device placement— for example, extended dwell catheters and ultrasoundguided peripheral intravenous (IV) catheters
ɞ A core team of specially trained nurses uses a standardized workflow to maintain sterility during all central line dressing changes.
ɞ Improve the patient experience through fewer IV catheter attempts
ɞ The unit’s non-MBI CLABSI rate declined by 78% from October 2018 to August 2019.
ɞ Train frontline clinicians in the use of point-of-care ultrasound-guided peripheral IVs
ɞ Remove peripherally inserted central catheters ɞ Support units that need assistance with accessing and de-accessing implanted ports
Left to right: Kristen Van Scoyoc, BSN, RN, assistant nurse manager, and Jennifer Clark, BSN, RN, staff nurse.
ɠ Based on the Stem Cell Transplant Unit’s success, the two-person dressing change team was implemented on the Medical Surgical Oncology Unit in March 2019: ɞ This unit’s non-MBI CLABSI rate declined by 100% from March 2019 to September 2019.

night shift engagement: ‘little’ things help make a big difference with employees The Night Nurse Council, a shared governance council addressing needs of night shift employees, has tackled tough issues like sign-off times and offering classes during more “night shift friendly” times. Another pervasive issue resonating with members was the desire for more overnight food options. “We wanted to find creative ways to offer more food options and engage night staff, and someone said, ‘Well, what’s that food truck thing on Thursdays?’” explains Sara Caven, MSN, RN, CENP, administrative liaison.
That “food truck thing” is Science Thursdays, a weekly event series hosted by the Carver College of Medicine that brings local food trucks, musicians, and a sciencethemed activity for students, employees, and the public to enjoy over the lunch hour. A collaborative effort between key stakeholder groups ensued, and food trucks were available on several evenings/nights this fall. All employees were welcome and encouraged to check out the event, which will continue in 2020.

parents’ experiences during a child’s resuscitation: getting through it ɠ Key findings: ɞ Clinical information during resuscitation helps parents make sense of what is happening ɞ Some parents preferred clinical information over spiritual or emotional support ɞ Compassionate, connected care is valued ɞ Mothers in the delivery room feel unable to be “present” at the experience
ɞ Getting through it
children’s hospital evaluation ɠ Stewart and Hanrahan led a research study to evaluate the impact of the new children’s hospital environment. ɠ Evaluated design changes including: ɞ State-of-the-art safety and infection control measures ɞ Advanced monitoring ɞ Standardized layout ɠ Perceptions of the hospital’s physical healing environment improved between year 1 (baseline) and year 2 and 3 for both health care clinicians and parents; this was expected and likely attributable to state-of-theart design features. ɠ Parents’ overall perceptions of a healing environment and health care satisfaction improved in year 2 and 3 and for all subscales; implementation of standard communication and advanced technology within patient rooms may have facilitated this improvement; parents may also have felt more comforted by reduced noise exposure, abundance of natural light, soothing colors, individual room controls, and family amenities.

IMPROVING OUR WORKPLACE AWARDS
Throughout the past year, two nursing and interprofessional teams went above and beyond in creating new initiatives to improve the workplace and were honored with an Improving Our Workplace Award. An interprofessional team was formed with the goal to simplify the care process for individuals who have experienced a blood/body fluid exposure (S-T-I-C-K). The Nursing Education Team created the nursing education application for the mobile communication device used by UI Hospitals & Clinics. The mobile communication device is used as the primary communication tool among clinicians.
