Item Can people who misuse drugs and alcohol consent for health care?(InspireNet, 2015-01-29) Taylor, DarleneAll individuals over the age of 18 have the legal right to consent/refuse health care provided they have the capacity to do so. Nurses who deliver care to clients who misuse substances often find assessing capacity to consent challenging especially if their clients have been using drugs or alcohol prior to a clinical encounter. The Capacity Assessment Instrument for People who misuse Substances (CAIPS) has been developed to facility nurses’ decision-making process related to assessing capacity to consent in this vulnerable population. This webinar will introduce nurses to the CAIPS instrument, explaining how it works and under which circumstances it can be used.Item CASN (Canadian Association or Schools of Nursing) Guidelines on Informatics Competencies to be included in BSN curricula(InspireNet, 2013-02-19) Frisch, NoreenItem Clinical nursing instructors' experiences teaching students deemed at risk of failure(InspireNet, 2015) MacLeod, StephanieItem Decision supports and issues of usability in information systems(InspireNet, 2013-03-19) Currie, LeanneItem An Educational Strategy For Teaching Nursing Standardized Languages(InspireNet, 2012-04-18) Farren, ArleneItem Electronic performance walls for all! Simplifying integrated real-time planning, progress tracking, evaluation and reporting for project and program management(InspireNet, 2015-04-15) Glegg, StephanieDo you have goals? Need to manage projects, tasks or timelines? Need to be accountable? Prefer a visual representation of your progress and outcomes? Have collaborators across departments, sites, or geographic regions? Want real-time updates of your progress? An electronic performance wall may be the solution for you. Performance walls can be valuable tools for collaborative planning, project management and continuous quality improvement. The purpose of this presentation is to describe the application of an Excel-based electronic performance wall for program planning, progress tracking, evaluation and reporting. Real-world examples of e-performance walls will be presented to showcase the diversity of the tool for both project- and goal-based performance management for professional groups, organizations, health care programs, committees, research teams, communities of practice and individuals. By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to: • Describe the value of an electronic performance wall for program or project management and quality improvement initiatives • Identify features of the performance wall that facilitate integrated planning, progress tracking, evaluation and reporting for individual or group projects and objectives • Understand the flexibility of the e-performance wall and how it can be customized across settings and applications to meet different needs • Apply a framework for developing an electronic performance wall for their own applicationItem Evaluating the Benefits of a Health Mentoring Programme Supported with a Web and Mobile Phone Based Self-Monitoring Application(InspireNet, 2012-02-28) Cummings, ElizabethItem Evidence-based Heuristics for Evaluating Demands on eHealth Literacy and Usability in a Mobile Consumer Health Application(InspireNet, 2015-09-30) Monkman, HelenItem Health Information Systems Design for Collaborative Healthcare Delivery - “Collaboration Spaces”(InspireNet, 2015-02-18) Kuziemsky, CraigItem How to Present Your Findings…with Confidence!(InspireNet, 2013-06-17) Brinkman, JacquiItem Impact Factor in Nursing: Above and Beyond(InspireNet, 2013-12-05) Mallidou, Anastasia; Black, AgnesItem The Impact of Social media in Healthcare: Rhetoric versus Reality(InspireNet, 2012-05-22) Murray, PeterItem Implementation of national guidelines for dementia care in a Swedish nursing home: Presentation of an action research project(InspireNet, 2013-12-03) Boström, Anne-MarieCanada and Sweden face many similarities when it comes to an aging population and the opportunities and challenges for families and society. In Sweden, municipalities are responsible for providing social and health care for older persons in their homes and in special housing for older people. In 2010, the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare launched guidelines for care of persons with dementia. The guidelines are based on evidence and best available knowledge on the provision of care for persons with dementia. In our research project, the overall aim was to study the effect and outcomes following implementation of the dementia guidelines from three perspectives: older persons’ with dementia living in a nursing home; family members’; and staff’s perspective working in the same nursing home where older people reside. The implementation project was conducted in a nursing home where 200 residents are living in 24 small-scale units and 200 staff are employed consisting of 170 nurse aides, 25 health professionals and 5 managers. Participatory action research methodology was used to implement the guidelines. Regularly meetings were held with the managers. Unit-based seminars for staff were facilitated by faculty members from Karolinska Institute every second week. These activities have been complemented with lectures and poster presentations in all units to share accomplished changes. Information meetings for family members were scheduled every six months. The conclusions from the project so far are that managers and staff have increased awareness of the dementia guidelines and identified areas for practice changes. The next step is to sustain the model with unit-based seminars using nursing-home staff instead of faculty members as facilitators.Item Informatics and knowledge translation activities in the healthcare sector(InspireNet, 2013-11-20) Mallidou, AnastasiaKnowledge translation is the means for evidence-based practice in healthcare, which is the overarching goal for better quality of care and patient/client safety, for reducing expenses in the health system, and for enhancing patient, provider and system outcomes. Informatics is the essential resources for making research findings (an element/component of evidence) accessible to healthcare professionals and for supporting knowledge utilization activities at the point of care. The value of available evidence within the clinical practice environment is a fundamental tool for implementing evidence-based practice.Item Informatics and Nurses: From Few to All(InspireNet, 2011-04-16) Nagel, LynnItem Introduction to Qualitative Research(InspireNet, 2013-10-04) Banner-Lukaris, DavinaItem Introduction to Quantitative Research(InspireNet, 2013-10-11) Banner-Lukaris, DavinaItem Island Health's Knowledge Translation activities and Point-of-Care Projects: Bringing Research into practice(InspireNet, 2014-06-20) Island Health's Research & Capacity Building DepartmentPart 1 with Dr. Wendy Young, PhD (Research Facilitator and KT Coordinator) will focus on the insights gained regarding KT challenges and opportunities in health care organizations in British Columbia. • Part 2 with Lynn Cummings BNSc, MN, CHPCN (C) (Nursing Research Facilitator) will focus on practical aspects of translating research findings into actionable knowledge and improved practice in the Point-of-Care Projects. • Part 3 will focus on the development of a KT plan to increase the production and use of evidence to support decision-making and policy-setting at Island Health. The plan will be developed in collaboration with other stakeholders, based on the scan and on lessons learned from the Point-of-Care projects.Item Mapping Knowledge Synthesis - Part II(InspireNet, 2014-02-21) Mallidou, AnastasiaItem Mapping the Methods of Knowledge Synthesis(InspireNet, 2013-04-29) Mallidou, Anastasia
