| Abstract |
Purpose: Patients with chronic liver disease require health literacy to adhere to comprehensive; treatment plans. The aim of this project is to increase nurse confidence and improve workflow by; providing a follow-up educational phone call to patients with chronic liver disease.; Rationale: A summary of the literature shows that chronically ill patients who do not receive; educational follow-up are more likely to experience noncompliance, increased readmissions, and; decreased prognosis. Nurses coordinating care may experience increased workload and; decreased confidence.; Methods: Lewin's theory of change was utilized to develop the project. Nurse coordinators; attended an educational presentation and received a guided checklist to provide a nurse-led; educational phone call, address treatment plans, and discuss medications with 24 hours after a; new patient visit. A pre- and post-intervention survey gauged nursing confidence regarding; resources, education delivery, and impact on workflow.; Results: All Registered Nurse coordinators implemented the use of the guided checklist.; Implementing a structured follow-up educational phone call to chronically ill patients by; utilizing a guided checklist improved the nurse coordinator's confidence and workflow, and; enhanced job satisfaction.; Conclusions: Nurse-led telephone follow-up in the form of an educational phone call reduces; nursing workload by enhancing patient health literacy, improving communication, and increasing; treatment compliance. Improved nursing workflow leads to increased job satisfaction and; increased nursing confidence. |
