How do patient characteristics, organization characteristics and patient care unit characteristics interact to affect quality, safety, and cost outcomes? What changes can nurse managers make on their units that will optimize outcomes for their patients? To answer these questions, we are collecting data from 35 nursing units in 12 hospitals in Arizona, and using the results as a basis for computational modeling. Although it has been used in clinical research, until now computational modeling has had little application to healthcare or nursing organizations. In this poster session, we describe our application of Orgahead, a computational modeling program.
患者特征、组织特征和患者护理单元特征是如何相互作用以影响质量、安全和成本结果的？护理管理者可以在其单元做出哪些改变来优化患者的治疗结果？为了回答这些问题，我们正在从亚利桑那州12家医院的35个护理单元收集数据，并将结果用作计算建模的基础。尽管计算建模已用于临床研究，但到目前为止，它在医疗保健或护理组织中的应用还很少。在本次海报展示环节中，我们将描述我们对计算建模程序Orgahead的应用。
