INNOVATION

Cerner Camera Capture

In Spring 2022, Cerner Camera Capture went live on clinical bedside nurses’ SpectraLink devices. Camera Capture provides nurses with the resources needed to photograph patient wounds and pressure injuries with ease and directly upload them into patient medical records. This process boosts the level of communication amongst providers and helps track wound changes over time.

New Oracle Workflow

On April 1, 2022, Oracle went live with a new workflow for payroll, human resources, finances and supply chain management called Oracle Cloud.

Intelligence Observation

In 2022, Inspira introduced Intelligence Observation (IO), a handwashing monitoring program that optimizes our reporting ability for Leapfrog.

Nursing Research Studies at Inspira

Original Nursing Research helps improve our patients’ access to cutting-edge health care and builds the foundations of evidence-based best practices in the future. Here are a few of the nursing research studies Inspira clinicians conducted in 2022:

VitalsLink

A barcode-driven workflow for positive patient identification called VitalsLink went live in Vineland in Spring 2022. This workflow enables clinicians to enter vital signs directly into the patient’s medical record at the point of care.

RoomLink for Eat, Sleep, Console

A new RoomLink icon for Eat, Sleep, Console was added in February 2022. Eat, Sleep, Console is an evidencebased approach to helping babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) to manage withdrawal. The new RoomLink icon has allowed clearer communication to providers entering the room.

Multidisciplinary Discharge Lounge

Terri Spoltore, D.N.P., M.S.N., R.N., C.C.R.N., and Rachel Lindsey, M.S.N., R.N. Mullica Hill Nursing Admin

This interprofessional team of nursing leaders, nurses, physicians, pharmacists and population health professionals studied the operational impact of expanding an evidence-based discharge lounge model to be interprofessional in nature. Outcomes monitored include throughput, medication reconciliation errors, patient experience and provider experience.

Reliability and Validity of PRAFT Fall Risk Assessment Tool

Wendy Rosen, M.S.N., R.N.C.; Becky Thompson, C.N.M., M.S.N.; Lela Toledo, M.S.N., R.N.; Kellie Cancglin, M.S.N., R.N.C. Network Maternal Child Health

A dedicated, valid and reliable fall risk assessment tool for peripartum women does not exist. This research team adapted a tool that was found to be somewhat applicable to this specialty population and found that reliability is exceptionally strong. The team is also testing the predictive validity and staff satisfaction with the tool.

Color Psychology on an Inpatient Adult Behavioral Health Unit: An Implementation Study

Lucy Torres, M.S.N., R.N., P.M.H.-B.C.; Kayla Starr, B.S.N., R.N., P.M.H.-B.C.; Teresa Novajovsky, M.S.N., R.N., P.M.H.-B.C.

Bridgeton Adult Mental Health Unit

The research team studied the implementation of an existing evidence-based practice—color psychology— to engage frontline providers in enhancing therapeutic environments. In this study, providers identify which evidence-based color would be most appropriate for patient rooms and results showed an improvement in provider engagement.

Use of Complimentary Therapy for Oncology Patients

Sami Abate, Ph.D., M.S.H.S., M.S.N., R.N., C.C.R.N., C.N.M.L.; Lynne Giglio, M.B.A., B.S.N., R.N.; Cathy Vasquez, B.S.N., R.N.; Colette Goranson, M.S.N., R.N., O.C.N.; Barbara Garrett, B.S.N., R.N., O.C.N.

Vineland Cancer Services and Clinical Research Office

This study was conducted with an interprofessional team of nurses, physicians and medical students using a valid and reliable instrument from the Australian Cancer Society to assess evidence-based complementary and integrative therapies used by cancer patients. Results revealed that many common, safe and effective therapies (such as support groups, aromatherapy, acupuncture and journaling) were under-utilized. The team is currently exploring programs to make these types of therapies more accessible to patients.

Development and Evaluation of a Nurse LeaderDirected Nutritional Bundle to Prevent HospitalAcquired Pressure Injury

Roseanne Racano, D.N.P., M.S.N., R.N., C.M.S.R.N., C.B.N.

Vineland Case Management

This D.N.P. project sought to assess the implementation of a multi-faceted bundle designed to increase uptake of nutritional supplements in patients with or at highrisk for hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI). The program included educational sessions and visual cues and used a chart review to assess impact. Results were limited by the academic timeline, but the project does show promise in increasing awareness about the role of nutritional supplementation in preventing HAPI and the need to reinforce the consumption of prescribed supplements.
