While the Braden Scale has been widely used, there are still many facilities that have not given it the required focus and attention it deserves, and subsequently their staff do not place a substantial importance on its use, as well. In a study by

clinical-radiographic-physiologic (CRP) 75 scoring system based on several parameters as dyspnea, chest radiograph, spirometry, lung volume, diffusion capacity, resting alveolar-arterial PO2, and O2 saturation corrected for maximal achieved VO2max in 26 biopsy-proven IPF patients. Scores ranged from 0 to 100 (100 being the most severe disease). The authors looked at the relationship between CRP scores and histopathologic findings, including a cellular pathology score based on abnormalities considered potentially reversible

The Development of Personal Knowledge and the Family Nurse Practioner Personal knowledge was identified by Carper (1978) and is defined by personal experiences, and analysis of yourself and that of others. The role of a Family Nurse Practioner is strongly influenced by Carper’s (1978) fundamental patterns of knowing.

to begin to address this issue. The challenge is expanding the reach of the program. Currently, this program has isolated a small subset of the senior within Montgomery County. The statistics show this issue spans well beyond the population identified in Montgomery County. This is a national issue. CMS has developed several initiatives to begin to address the issues. While programs such as WISH are beginning to move the needle in the right direction, there are challenges within the program

including the patient experience. Patient satisfaction accounts for 30% of the total performance scores (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMM], 2015). General medicine consistently receives low scores on communication with patients. The purpose of this paper is to find solutions to the patient perceived lack of communication by reviewing the current process of bedside reporting during shift changes and find the appropriate change theory to reverse the current findings. Problem Identified Through
