Vision Statement: Our patients deserve the best continuity of care possible. With that said, our nurses should effectively communicate patient information with our physicians in order to ensure the best treatment for acute condition changes in order to prevent hospital readmissions.

This presentation explains the role of skilled nursing facilities in the reduction of hospital readmissions.

"In attempts to reduce nosocomial infections, the focus of PPE is shifted to include patient protection.

This innovation project will help lead the healthcare organization to better health deliver and better service because it will prevent transmission of nosocomial infections between patients via hospital staff. Patients with HAI’s tend to have a longer duration hospital stay as well as more costs. Likewise, current healthcare reform restricts reimbursements for treatments associated with nosocomial infections. By minimizing these costly infections, the healthcare organization will be able to realize a greater profit."

Informed by the CompuGirls program, the CompuPower: Technology and Leadership program curriculum uses culturally responsive education practices to foster student leadership and civic engagement through the exploration of technology. This program is a year-long, in-school, high school elective course that schools can offer to male and female students for Career and Technical Education (CTE) course credit.
