ASU BioDesign Clinical Testing Laboratory: The Making of a COVID Lab - Staying on Top of Evolving Best Practices for Testing and Intra-Organizational Communication

Description

The ASU BioDesign Clinical Testing Laboratory (ABCTL) was created to offer an accurate, less invasive, less labor intensive, and less resource draining public COVID-19 testing location in Arizona.

The ASU BioDesign Clinical Testing Laboratory (ABCTL) was created to offer an accurate, less invasive, less labor intensive, and less resource draining public COVID-19 testing location in Arizona. The goal of this thesis project was to document the intra-organizational communication channels related to changing testing practices as the ABCTL evolved. This was done through a review of internal and external media, pressers, and an interview with Joshua LaBaer. By documenting internal communication channels, specifically those related to changes in testing, similar communication channels and results could be replicable in the future if an outside organization wished to transform an academic research lab into a viral testing facility.

The SolarSPELL Health: Nursing and Midwifery library was created to provide health students and professionals in developing and underprivileged countries with resources for evidence based practice learning, and to help improve women’s health in the country with the highest maternal mortality rate in the world. Our team partnered with local health schools to identify the greatest areas of need. The SolarSPELL team searched for open access materials aimed towards students and professionals in the health field, ensured that this content was relevant to the location and took into account the resources available, curated this content and ensured consistency throughout the process, and lastly packaged the material in a platform that was easy to access and navigate. South Sudan is the newest country in the world, and they lack significant resources, as do all of the countries that SolarSPELL serves. Receiving this library will allow the health students and professionals in South Sudan to utilize the resources they currently have, to provide evidenced based care, both saving and improving lives.

The goal of this project was to create a quasi experimental study using an education module that teaches evidence-based practice methods. The theoretical frameworks used to create the educational content were the self-efficacy theory and the Health Belief Model. The evaluation methods used are based on the Kirkpatrick four level model. An education module was created to be culturally and regionally relevant to South Sudan and Malawi. The education module was designed to be part of the SolarSPELL Health: Nursing and Midwifery Library. This was done by performing a literature review, curating resources, creating the educational materials, creating learning scenarios, curating relevant belief scales, and integrating the content into the SolarSPELL Health: Nursing and Midwifery Library. The on ground implementation of the materials was not a part of this project, but instead is planned for future research. This project creates a foundation from which SolarSPELL Health can implement the resources at a future date. In the long term, the goal of implementing the experiment is to improve maternal mental and physical health outcomes in South Sudan and Malawi, both of which have extremely high rates of maternal mortality and morbidity.
