What is PFE Best Practice 5?
Hospitals are required to have at least one active Person and Family Engagement Committee, Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC), or other committee (e.g., Patient Safety) with full membership positions for patient or family representatives.
Background
The series has two major components (1) the PFAC Planning Tool which includes tools and activities that your hospital can use to create and sustain a Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC); (2) six pre-recorded learning modules of the Creating and Sustaining a Patient and Family Advisory Council to Improve Patient Safety and Enhance Quality Improvement.
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) can play an important role in pressure injury prevention planning and education. This document is intended to provide CNAs with guidance in preventing pressure injuries in the hospital patients and the nursing home residents for whom they provide care.
The following multimedia collection focuses on highlighting Antibiotic Stewardship success stories. Materials include PDFs, videos, and podcasts. This collection will be updated with additional resources as they become available.
Purpose: The Reliability Culture Implementation Guide combines the five principles of high reliability organizations (HROs) with elements of safety culture. This guide is broadly intended for executive level to frontline staff. Tools are available throughout this guide to support and advance the work done within high reliability.
This resource explains what All-Cause Harm is, why it is important, and then dives into each of the processes it takes to prevent All-Cause Harm. Eight priority focus areas for the Hospital Quality Improvement Contract (HQIC) are illuminated and strategies to monitor compliance are provided.
COVID-19 is a perfect issue for PFACs to address. The experiences of patients and families can have a direct impact on how the hospital safely treats those with severe cases including those in isolation, prevents the spread of the virus, and minimizes the impact of the virus on health care and health outcomes (e.g., delayed care). This resource provides suggestions about how PFACs can help hospitals proactively communicate, educate, and engage with patients and families and the larger community to build trust and deliver high-quality care during a time of uncertainty and fear.
With the shift in the health care landscape from volume to value, more hospitals are engaging patients in their everyday hospital activities. Like any profession, learning from the consumer can provide great insight on how to provide better service. Integrating patient and family advisory councils (PFACs) within the hospital setting is an excellent approach to learn from patients and increase the quality of care delivered in a hospital. The toolkit underscores PFAC support with quality and safety, patient satisfaction, patient outcomes and market share.
Although DOACs require less intensive dose management than warfarin, they are not devoid of potential complications. Anticoagulants have consistently ranked as the class of medications most frequently leading to emergency room visits and hospital admissions for adverse drug events. This toolkit explains how to use DOACs safely and effectively requires that all aspects of anticoagulation therapy are addressed, including appropriate patient selection, dosing, monitoring, transitions between therapies and between care settings, periprocedural guidance, management of risks (including DOAC associated
bleeding), drug-drug interaction management, ongoing assessment of patient and family educational needs, and incorporation of evidence-based practices into workflow.
Nutrition plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries (PIs). Macro- and micronutrients are required by each organ system in specific amounts to promote growth, development, maintenance, and repair of body tissues. The 2019 European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP), National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP), and Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance (PPPIA) Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries:
Clinical Practice Guideline (EPUAP/NPIAP/PPPIA CPG) provides guidance on the prevention and management of PIs. This guideline was a collaboration between the EPUAP, NPIAP, and PPPIA with the assistance of 14 associate organizations. The goal of this international collaboration was to provide an updated, comprehensive review of the research literature and develop recommendations
reflecting recent evidence. The intent is for health professionals around the world to use the recommendations generated to prevent and treat PI.
When selecting a Pro Tools subscription, the choice often narrows down to two popular versions: Pro Tools Artist and Pro Tools Studio. This decision impacts the quality and scope of your music production.
Both versions share core functionalities like mixing, editing, mastering, and a broad array of plugins and instruments. However, significant differences in their capabilities might sway your decision based on your production needs.
Pro Tools Artist is ideal for beginners or those with more straightforward production needs. Pro Tools Studio, however, offers advanced features for more complex projects and professional environments.
Pro Tools Artist provides a variety of plugins suitable for basic production needs. This includes dynamics and EQ plugins like BF-2A and Channel Strip, essential effects, and filters such as AIR Chorus and AIR Enhancer. It also includes a range of virtual instruments like AIR Boom and AIR Mini Grand.
Pro Tools Studio, on the other hand, is an advanced DAW designed for professional music production. It caters to experienced musicians and producers, offering a comprehensive platform for larger and more complex projects.
Pro Tools Ultimate supports unlimited track counts with HD hardware systems. It includes advanced features like robust VCA fader controls for precise level control, advanced automation capabilities like Trim Automation, and a comprehensive Channel Strip EQ/Dynamics section.
In summary, while Pro Tools Studio offers a complete set of tools for professional music production, Pro Tools Ultimate elevates this with its capacity for handling large-scale projects and more complex audio engineering demands.
Pro Tools Artist, while limited in track count (32 audio tracks) and lacking advanced mixing and automation features, is beneficial for emerging artists and small studios. Ultimately, its simplicity and lower cost make it highly accessible. This allows users to focus on essential recording and mixing tasks without the complexity of advanced features.
