A conceptual basis for strategic health planning in governments in Canada
Creators: name: Hollander, Marcus J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study presents a new conceptual model of health planning for planners in government. The model developed in this study is based on concepts from the "sociology of knowledge," a branch of sociological theory. There is currently no universally agreed upon grand theory of health planning. The contribution of the sociology of knowledge is that it allows the analyst to move to a higher level of abstraction in which existing theories or models themselves become the subjects of study. This type of formulation allows the theorist to incorporate existing theories into a conceptual space based on fundamental conceptions of the world. By understanding the location of a planning project in this conceptual space, the planner can identify the sets of theories most appropriate to the project, i.e. a contingency model allowing for the best fit resolution matching a project to its correct model of analysis. Knowing which theories to use allows the planner to develop strategies for action. The model in this study has three components: analysis of the planning environment or context, strategy formulation, and the action required to carry out the planning project. This model is called the Contextual Analysis, Strategy and Action (CASA) model. The validity of this model is tested by applying it to six case studies. The conclusion of the study is that the CASA model is a valid model and has more explanatory power than other documented models of planning.

description: We study (anti)deuteron formation rates in heavy-ion collisions in the framework of a wave-function based coalescence model. The main feature of our model is that nucleons are emitted from the whole spherically symmetric fireball volume, while antinucleons are emitted only from a spherical shell close to the surface. In this way, the model accounts for nucleon-antinucleon annihilations in the center of the reaction at lower beam energies. Comparison with experimental data on the coalescence parameter in the range $\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 4.7-200$ GeV allows us to extract radii of the respective source geometries. Our results are qualitatively supported by data from the UrQMD transport model which shows a comparable trend in the geometric radii as a function of beam energy. In line with our expectations, we find that at lower energies, the central region of the fireball experiences stronger annihilation than at higher energies.

EFFECTS OF DIGITALLY RECORDED PATIENT EDUCATION BEFORE ESOPHAGEAL MANOMETRY PROCEDURE
Creators: name: Coka Kiu Wan Yip
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: High-resolution esophageal manometry (HREM) measures motility in patients with suspected esophageal disorders. Currently, the GI Motility Clinic’s esophageal manometry patient educational tool is limited in explaining the process or expectations of the procedure. Patients presented for HREM have a baseline knowledge score of 56%, and 8 percent of procedures are aborted due to an elevated anxiety level. A literature review suggests a positive impact of recorded patient education before a procedure. An 8 minute patient educational recording was created to provide objective information about the esophageal manometry procedure. The purpose of the digital recording is to 1) improve knowledge; 2) reduce procedural anxiety; 3) increase satisfaction, with aims of patient satisfaction scores to be consistently >95% and 4) reduce the percentage of patients aborting the HREM procedure secondary to anxiety in the GI Motility Clinic to be less than 2 percent. A purposive, convenience sampling strategy was used and recruited 12 patients at baseline and 12 participants for implementation of the project. This project was set in the ambulatory GI Motility clinic within a tertiary hospital and multi-specialty academic health center in Southern California. Results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge (from 58% to 95%) and reduction in anxiety post digitally recorded education. All participants liked the recorded education and there were zero aborted cases during the project implementation period. These findings suggested a positive iv impact of the digitally recorded education as well as potential project success with implementation of digital education before esophageal manometry procedure. As the sample size on this project was very small, continued study with a larger sample size is needed. Findings from this project support the larger body of evidence showing a positive impact of recorded patient education on patient outcomes. Furthermore, lessons learned from this project can be used to guide the development of recorded patient educational in other settings to provide a standardized means of patient education and improve patient outcomes.
Two populations are better than one: Short gamma-ray bursts from SGR giant flares and NS-NS mergers

description: With a peak luminosity of ~10^47 erg/s, the December 27th 2004 giant flare from SGR1806-20 would have been visible by BATSE (the Burst and Transient Source Experiment) out to ~50 Mpc. It is thus plausible that some fraction of the short duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (sGRBs) in the BATSE catalogue were due to extragalactic magnetar giant flares. According to the most widely accepted current models, the remaining BATSE sGRBs were most likely produced by compact object (neutron star-neutron star or neutron star-black hole) mergers with intrinsically higher luminosities. Previously, by examining correlations on the sky between BATSE sGRBs and galaxies within 155 Mpc, we placed limits on the proportion of nearby sGRBs. Here, we examine the redshift distribution of sGRBs produced by assuming both one and two populations of progenitor with separate Luminosity Functions (LFs). Using the local Galactic SGR giant flare rate and theoretical NS-NS merger rates evolved according to well-known Star Formation Rate parameterisations, we constrain the predicted distributions by BATSE sGRB overall number counts. We show that only a dual population consisting of both SGR giant flares and NS-NS mergers can reproduce the likely local distribution of sGRBs as well as the overall number counts. In addition, the best fit LF parameters of both sub-populations are in good agreement with observed luminosities.

description: This paper proposes a machine learning method to characterize photonic states via a simple optical circuit and data processing of photon number distributions, such as photonic patterns. The input states consist of two coherent states used as references and a two-mode unknown state to be studied. We successfully trained supervised learning algorithms that can predict the degree of entanglement in the two-mode state as well as perform the full tomography of one photonic mode, obtaining satisfactory values in the considered regression metrics.

description: The existence of a giant planet beyond Neptune -- referred to as Planet Nine (P9) -- has been inferred from the clustering of longitude of perihelion and pole position of distant eccentric Kuiper belt objects (KBOs). After updating calculations of observational biases, we find that the clustering remains significant at the 99.6\% confidence level. We thus use these observations to determine orbital elements of P9. A suite of numerical simulations shows that the orbital distribution of the distant KBOs is strongly influenced by the mass and orbital elements of P9 and thus can be used to infer these parameters. Combining the biases with these numerical simulations, we calculate likelihood values for discrete set of P9 parameters, which we then use as input into a Gaussian Process emulator that allows a likelihood computation for arbitrary values of all parameters. We use this emulator in a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis to estimate parameters of P9. We find a P9 mass of $6.2^{+2.2}_{-1.3}$ Earth masses, semimajor axis of $380^{+140}_{-80}$ AU, inclination of $16\pm5^\circ$ and perihelion of $300^{+85}_{-60}$ AU. Using samples of the orbital elements and estimates of the radius and albedo of such a planet, we calculate the probability distribution function of the on-sky position of Planet Nine and of its brightness. For many reasonable assumptions, Planet Nine is closer and brighter than initially expected, though the probability distribution includes a long tail to larger distances, and uncertainties in the radius and albedo of Planet Nine could yield fainter objects.

description: Low-energy atomic impacts on the Ag(110) surface are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations based on reliable many-body semiempirical potentials. Trajectory deflections (steering) caused by the atom-surface interaction are observed, together with impact-following, transient-mobility effects. Such processes are quantitatively analysed and their dependence on the initial kinetic energy and on the impinging direction is discussed. A clear influence of the surface anisotropy on both steering and transient mobility effects is revealed by our simulations for the simple isolated-atom case and in the submonolayer-growth regime. For the latter case, we illustrate how steering and transient mobility affect the film morphology at the nanoscale.

Histochemical changes in colonic epithelial glycoproteins during the induction of cancer in rats
Creators: name: Lazosky, Darien-Alexis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Colonic epithelial glycoproteins were histochemically studied in rats during the induction of colorectal cancer with 1,2,-dimethylhydrazine-diHCl (DMH). 310 male Wistar rats were separated into 3 groups: 10 control rats were sacrificed without treatment, 150 rats were given weekly subcutaneous injections of the carcinogen and 150 rats were given sham Injections on the same schedule. Groups of rats (10 control and 10 treated) were sacrificed at various time intervals in an effort to obtain a large number of pre-neoplastic rat colons to be used to determine whether histochemical changes could be detected prior to morphologic change. Three histochemically distinct regions in the Wistar rat distal colon have been described using recently developed techniques. Two major histochemical changes have been shown to occur prior to malignancy. Change 'A' represented a decrease or loss of sulphate from the glycoproteins; this was the earliest and predominant change and has been shown to occur prior to any identifiable morphologic change. Change 'B' represented a decrease or loss of sulphate occurring in the same cells as a decrease or loss of side chain 0-acetylation of sialic acid residues; this change occured later and to a lesser extent than change 'A'. The data suggests that histochemical change may be a premalignant marker, however, further investigations are necessary to firmly establish this conclusion.

description: Osteoclastic resorption of bone plays a central role in both osteoporosis and bone metastasis. A reliable in vitro assay that simulates osteoclastic resorption in vivo would significantly speed up the process of devel-oping effective therapeutic solutions for those diseases. Here we reported the development of a novel and robust nano-structured calcium phosphate coating with unique functions on the track-etched porous mem-brane by using an ammonia-induced mineralization (AiM) technique. The calcium phosphate coating uni-formly covers one side of the PET membrane enabling testing for osteoclastic resorption. The track-etched pores in the PET membrane allow calcium phosphate mineral pins to grow inside, which, on one hand, enhances coating integration with membrane substrate, and on the other hand provides diffusion channels for delivering drugs from the lower chamber of a double-chamber cell culture system. The applications of the processed calcium phosphate coating was first demonstrated as a drug screening device by using alen-dronate, a widely used drug for osteoporosis. It was confirmed that the delivery of alendronate significant-ly decreased both the number of monocyte-differentiated osteoclasts and coating resorption. To demon-strate the application in studying bone metastasis, we delivered PC3 prostate cancer conditioned medium and confirmed that both the differentiation of monocytes into osteoclasts and the osteoclastic resorption of the calcium phosphate coating were significantly enhanced. This novel assay thus provides a new platform for studying osteoclastic activities and assessing drug efficacy in vitro.

Differentiation of Kaltofen's division-free determinant algorithm

description: Kaltofen has proposed a new approach in [Kaltofen 1992] for computing matrix determinants. The algorithm is based on a baby steps/giant steps construction of Krylov subspaces, and computes the determinant as the constant term of a characteristic polynomial. For matrices over an abstract field and by the results of Baur and Strassen 1983, the determinant algorithm, actually a straight-line program, leads to an algorithm with the same complexity for computing the adjoint of a matrix [Kaltofen 1992]. However, the latter is obtained by the reverse mode of automatic differentiation and somehow is not ``explicit''. We study this adjoint algorithm, show how it can be implemented (without resorting to an automatic transformation), and demonstrate its use on polynomial matrices.
Adiabaticity and spectral splits in collective neutrino transformations

description: Neutrinos streaming off a supernova core transform collectively by neutrino-neutrino interactions, leading to "spectral splits" where an energy E_split divides the transformed spectrum sharply into parts of almost pure but different flavors. We present a detailed description of the spectral split phenomenon which is conceptually and quantitatively understood in an adiabatic treatment of neutrino-neutrino effects. Central to this theory is a self-consistency condition in the form of two sum rules (integrals over the neutrino spectra that must equal certain conserved quantities). We provide explicit analytic and numerical solutions for various neutrino spectra. We introduce the concept of the adiabatic reference frame and elaborate on the relative adiabatic evolution. Violating adiabaticity leads to the spectral split being "washed out". The sharpness of the split appears to be represented by a surprisingly universal function.

Does the Second Caustic Ring of Dark Matter Cause the Monoceros Ring of Stars ?

description: Caustic rings of dark matter were predicted to exist in the plane of the Galaxy at radii $a_n \simeq 40 {\rm kpc}/n$ for $n = 1,2,3 ..$. The recently discovered Monoceros Ring of stars is located near the $n=2$ caustic, prompting us to consider a possible connection between these two objects. We identify two processes through which the Monoceros Ring of stars may have formed. One process is the migration of gas to an angular velocity minimum at the caustic leading to enhanced star formation there. The other is the adiabatic deformation of star orbits as the caustic slowly grows in mass and radius. The second process predicts an order 100% enhancement of the density of disk stars at the location of the caustic ring.

description: We derive quantum kinetic equations for fermions in a homogeneous time-dependent background in presence of decohering collisions, by use of the Schwinger-Keldysh CTP-formalism. The quantum coherence (between particles and antiparticles) is found to arise from new spectral solutions for the dynamical 2-point correlation function in the mean field limit. The physical density matrix $ρ$ and its dynamics is shown to be necessarily dependent on the extrenous information on the system, and expressions that relate $ρ$ to fundamental coherence functions and fermionic particle and antiparticle numbers are derived. For an interacting system we demonstrate how smooth decoherence effects are induced by collisions. As special applications we study the production of unstable particles during the preheating stage of the inflation and an evolution of an initially quantum $ρ$ towards a statistical limit including decoherence and thermalisation.

Year: 2023

description: :Hermeneutics of religious ideas, as well as the understanding promoted in a community, oftendetermine a community’s proneness to conflict or inclination towards harmony. As a result, some religiousconcepts and values have been useful in guiding Christians and Muslims to retain peace or return to thedialogue table to avoid violence in some African communities in Southwest Nigeria. Specific examples areIslamic teachings based on Muamalat, Ibadat, and Darar that support Muslims in their quest for peacefulrelationships with their neighbours, and Christians utilising Jesus’ teaching about love from the Shema in theTanakh well illustrated in the Gospels. This principle of interpretation given religious concepts has stimulatedthe Yorùbá to interact and practise their religions in a way to remain relatively cordial over the past twocenturies. This paper argues that leadership and the effective handling of religious hermeneutics can enhancethe community’s pursuit of peace.

description: Color Doppler by transthoracic echocardiography creates 2-D fan-shaped maps of blood velocities in the cardiac cavities. It is a one-component velocimetric technique since it only returns the velocity components parallel to the ultrasound beams. Intraventricular vector flow mapping (iVFM) is a method to recover the blood velocity vectors from the Doppler scalar fields in an echocardiographic three-chamber view. We improved our iVFM numerical scheme by imposing physical constraints. The iVFM consisted in minimizing regularized Doppler residuals subject to the condition that two fluid-dynamics constraints were satisfied, namely planar mass conservation, and free-slip boundary conditions. The optimization problem was solved by using the Lagrange multiplier method. A finite-difference discretization of the optimization problem, written in the polar coordinate system centered on the cardiac ultrasound probe, led to a sparse linear system. The single regularization parameter was determined automatically for non-supervision considerations. The physics-constrained method was validated using realistic intracardiac flow data from a patient-specific CFD model. The numerical evaluations showed that the iVFM-derived velocity vectors were in very good agreement with the CFD-based original velocities, with relative errors ranged between 0.3 and 12%. We calculated two macroscopic measures of flow in the cardiac region of interest, the mean vorticity and mean stream function, and observed an excellent concordance between physics-constrained iVFM and CFD. The capability of physics-constrained iVFM was finally tested with in vivo color Doppler data acquired in patients routinely examined in the echocardiographic laboratory. The vortex that forms during the rapid filling was deciphered. The physics-constrained iVFM algorithm is ready for pilot clinical studies.

It has been argued to have potential fault tolerance and plays an important role in quantum information and quantum computation. We present the first experiment for producing and measuring an Abelian geometric phase shift in a three-level system by using NMR interferometry. In contrast to existing experiments, based on the geometry of $S^2$, our experiment concerns the geometric phase with the geometry of $SU(3)/U(2)$. Two interacting qubits have been used to provide such a three-dimensional Hilbert space.

description: To account for the interference effects of the Coulomb and exchange interactions of electrons a new path integral representation of the density matrix has been developed in the canonical ensemble at finite temperatures. The developed representation allows to reduce the notorious ``fermionic sign problem'' in the Monte Carlo simulations of fermionic systems. The obtained results for pair distribution functions in plasma and uniform electron gas demonstrate the short-range quantum ordering of electrons associated with exchange excitons in the literature. This fine physical effect was not observed earlier in standard path integral Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Innovation intermediaries are recognised as crucial actors that can facilitate the innovation process, support eco-innovation and contribute to sustainable entrepreneurship. However, little is known about the temporal dimension of innovation intermediaries and how they change over time to survive, which is crucial if intermediaries are to contribute to long term sustainability-oriented transformations. An in-depth case study design with a comparative approach was chosen to examine four innovation intermediaries at different development stages in the related fields of CO2 utilisation and Carbon Capture Storage technology in Europe, the USA, and Australia. This study sheds light on the survival of innovation intermediaries over time: Firstly, by describing the dynamics in an intermediary's (a) characteristics, (b) scope, (c) objectives, and (d) roles and activities. Secondly, by identifying at least four interrelated factors influencing an intermediary's survival: (i) neutrality, (ii) technological context, (iii) shared consensus, and (iv) internal value creation. Thus, this article contributes to the literature by highlighting the complexity and tensions in the survival of intermediaries through an analysis of both internal and contextual factors, as opposed to previous literature which has mainly focused on how intermediaries change their roles and activities over time to survive.

description: Context: HCOOH is one of the more common species in interstellar ices with abundances of 1-5% with respect to solid H2O. Aims: This study aims at characterizing the HCOOH spectral features in astrophysically relevant ice mixtures in order to interpret astronomical data. Methods: The ices are grown under high vacuum conditions and spectra are recorded in transmission using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. Pure HCOOH ices deposited at 15 K and 145 K are studied, as well as binary and tertiary mixtures containing H2O, CO, CO2 and CH3OH. The mixture concentrations are varied from 50:50% to ~10:90% for HCOOH:H2O. Binary mixtures of HCOOH:X and tertiary mixtures of HCOOH:H2O:X with X = CO, CO2, and CH3OH, are studied for concentrations of ~10:90% and ~7:67:26%, respectively. Results: Pure HCOOH ice spectra show broad bands which split around 120 K due to the conversion of a dimer to a chain-structure. Broad single component bands are found for mixtures with H2O. Additional spectral components are present in mixtures with CO, CO2 and CH3OH. The resulting peak position, full width at half maximum and band strength depend strongly on ice structure, temperature, matrix constituents and the HCOOH concentration. Comparison of the solid HCOOH 5.9, 7.2, and 8.1 micron features with astronomical data toward the low mass source HH 46 and high mass source W 33A shows that spectra of binary mixtures do not reproduce the observed ice features. However, our tertiary mixtures especially with CH3OH match the astronomical data very well. Thus interstellar HCOOH is most likely present in tertiary or more complex mixtures with H2O, CH3OH and potentially also CO or CO2, providing constraints on its formation.

description: The supersymmetry of near-horizon geometries in heterotic supergravity is considered. A necessary and sufficient condition for a solution to preserve more than the minimal N=2 supersymmetry is obtained. A supersymmetric near-horizon solution is constructed which is a U(1) fibration of AdS3 over a particular Aloff-Wallach space. It is proven that this solution preserves the conditions required for N=2 supersymmetry, but does not satisfy the necessary condition required for further supersymmetry enhancement. Hence, there exist supersymmetric near-horizon heterotic solutions preserving exactly N=2 supersymmetry.
description: Additional background material added to Section 2, and some extra clarification added in the final paragraph of Section 3.1. The definition of the Aloff-Wallach space was added at the start of section 5. Text from Appendix C has been moved into Section 5.1. Other minor typos corrected. 20 pages, latex

description: Based on quantitative complementarity relations (QCRs), we analyze the multipartite correlations in four-qubit cluster-class states. It is proven analytically that the average multipartite correlation $E_{ms}$ is entanglement monotone. Moreover, it is also shown that the mixed three-tangle is a correlation measure compatible with the QCRs in this kind of quantum states. More arrestingly, with the aid of the QCRs, a set of hierarchy entanglement measures is obtained rigorously in the present system.

The Ontological Memes, Social Curriculum, and Performance of Black Masculinity

description: This article utilizes Foucault’s (1965/1988, 1970/1994, 1972) archaeology method to explore how Black masculinity emerged as an episteme constructed at the intersection of race and gender curricula. It examines how North American slavery altered discourses on humanity and culture to such a degree that it created a new condition of possibility through creolization, and how the creolization of West African and European memes and meme complexes created the current episteme of Black masculinity. The archaeology method posits that the subject of history is a product of discourse (Hendry, 2011, p. 37, p. 361), and this emphasis on excavating the various discourses that produced a subject is integral to fostering a deeper understanding of African American social curricula as a whole but especially in regard to masculinity. Black masculinity has been the subject of interracial and intraracial discourses that have shaped its conceptualizations from the very first purchases of slaves by Europeans in West Africa to the present day. These discourses have produced multiple social curricula on what it is to be a Black man and how one performs Black masculinity. I have chosen to examine masculinity as its own social construct because while certain forces of creolization created all of what we think of today as African American culture, African American masculinity and African American femininity can also be seen as distinct epistemes with their own distinct archaeologies.

This article also utilizes memetics: Drawing on the work of Dawkins (1976/2016, 1982), Krippendorff (2012/2013) defines memes as, “A unitary idea, message, behavior, or style that spreads throughout a community of minds. Analogous to genes, which transmit biological information, memes transmit cultural information and are thought to affect the content and organization of human minds” (pp. 269- 270, 399-400). Memes are not solely unitary according to Dawkins (1976/2016); he writes “Perhaps we could regard an organized church, with its architecture, ritual, laws, music, art, and written traditions, as a co-adapted stable set of mutually assisting memes” (p. 217-218). Dawkins (1976/2016) asserts that individual memes combine with other related and complementary memes to form a “co-adaptable stable set of mutually assisting memes” or, more directly, “meme complexes” (p.217-218). Memes are analogous to social curricula in the sense that they are concepts that are transferred from person to person and affect how people act and think. This understanding of the meme and the meme complex is central to conceptualizing the historical creolization process that created what I am arguing to be a Black male episteme and for the continuing theorizing of how social curriculum manifests, in this case, at the intersection of race and gender.

description: In this poetic inquiry I explore the complex relationship between teachers, administrators and students as they build trusting, caring and critically-minded relationships in the classroom. This is important because through its hermeneutic interpretation and poetic representation, the piece speaks back to the prevalence and popularity of instrumental and formulaic solutions that purport to mitigate challenging behaviours in classrooms, particularly in classrooms populated with students from gender, ethnic, ability, and other marginalized groups. This piece deconstructs and interprets what are commonly perceived as individualized “behaviour” problems in classrooms, but are often rooted in much deeper kyriarchal issues of privilege, power and control.

description: Following our recent work on the benzene molecule [\href{https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0027617}{J.~Chem.~Phys.~\textbf{153}, 176101 (2020)}], itself motivated by the blind challenge of Eriksen \textit{et al.} [\href{https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpclett.0c02621}{J.~Phys.~Chem.~Lett.~\textbf{11}, 8922 (2020)}] on the same system, we report accurate full configuration interaction (FCI) frozen-core correlation energy estimates for twelve five- and six-membered ring molecules in the standard correlation-consistent double-$ζ$ Dunning basis set (cc-pVDZ). Our FCI correlation energy estimates, with estimated error smaller than 1 millihartree, are based on energetically optimized-orbital selected configuration interaction (SCI) calculations performed with the \textit{Configuration Interaction using a Perturbative Selection made Iteratively} (CIPSI) algorithm. Having at our disposal these accurate reference energies, the respective performance and convergence properties of several popular and widely-used families of single-reference quantum chemistry methods are investigated. In particular, we study the convergence properties of i) the Møller-Plesset perturbation series up to fifth-order (MP2, MP3, MP4, and MP5), ii) the iterative approximate coupled-cluster series CC2, CC3, and CC4, and iii) the coupled-cluster series CCSD, CCSDT, and CCSDTQ. The performance of the ground-state gold standard CCSD(T) as well as the completely renormalized CC model, CR-CC(2,3), are also investigated.

description: We study the flow of concentrated hard-sphere colloidal suspensions along smooth, non-stick walls using cone-plate rheometry and simultaneous confocal microscopy. In the glass regime, the global flow shows a transition from Herschel-Bulkley behavior at large shear rate to a characteristic Bingham slip response at small rates, absent for ergodic colloidal fluids. Imaging reveals both the `solid' microstructure during full slip and the local nature of the `slip to shear' transition. Both the local and global flow are described by a phenomenological model, and the associated Bingham slip parameters exhibit characteristic scaling with size and concentration of the hard spheres.

DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A STANDARDIZED TRIAGE MODEL IN OB TRIAGE
Creators: name: Yang, Eun K.
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Although the obstetric (OB) triage unit's primary function is to identify and treat high acuity and life-threatening events, inconsistency exists in clinical practice. The current first come first serve triage process limits the ability to care for urgent or emergent healthcare needs on time, and often creates an overcrowded triage unit. Overcrowding can result in delayed services, which, in turn, can cause the triage area to be further crowded. The purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice project was to optimize patient safety and throughput efficiency by implementing a standardized triage model in OB triage. The aims of this project were to improve the accuracy of OB triage assessment and treatment, to improve the patient outcomes, and to decrease the length of stay in an OB triage. The PARiHS model was applied, translating evidence into practice. Using descriptive statistics, 150 available medical records were reviewed. The findings showed that the accuracy rate of the registered nurse (RN)’s initial assessment was acceptable at 85.3%. Three main chief complaints related to under-triage included preterm labor, decreased fetal movement, and falls. The RN's assessment time was reduced from 22 minutes to 5 minutes. No adverse patient outcomes nor improper patient discharge occurred due to inaccurate or delayed triage services. Patient safety was enhanced as resulted in a high rate of accuracy in triage acuity and the time to RN assessment. Opportunities warrant further studies because the total length of stay remains unchanged.
