Authors: Kebeh; Martha; Dlott, Chloe C.; Kurek, Donna; Tung, Wei Shao; Morris, Jensa C.; Wiznia, Daniel H.
Abstract:
This article is the sixth in the Movement is Life series and focuses on insurance coverage and medication management in the perioperative period, 2 tangentially related variables that affect patient outcomes. Our aim is to use current practices and literature to develop recommendations for nurse navigators’ execution of preoperative optimization protocols related to payer status and medication management. Discussions with nurse navigators and a literature search were used to gather information and develop recommendations specific to optimizing payer status and medication management. Nurse navigators connected patients to resources and provided education regarding financial concerns and medications, and findings from the literature discussed insurance status among TJA patients. Nurse navigators can contribute to payer status and medication management optimization by providing patient education and resource referrals. In addition, we recommend conducting repeated medication reconciliation and developing awareness of financial resources and perioperative medication management guidelines.

Abstract:
Halo gravity traction (HGT) is a preoperative modality for children with severe spinal deformity used to optimize spine flexibility and balance while decreasing the likelihood of neurologic injury. HGT is a dependable solution for these challenging spinal deformities. Aligning treatment guidelines and providing resources, education, and training for staff are key components for a successful HGT program. The HGT program at Children’s Mercy Hospital was then developed with a systems approach with the holistic goal of multidisciplinary collaboration with physical/occupational therapy, hospital medicine, pulmonology, psychology, nutrition, child life, and complex care management. Education, research, and national collaboration to standardize this therapy should improve patient safety and support quality improvement.

- Referral Efficiency for Veterans with Osteoarthritis: A Quality
Improvement Project-

Authors: Sauter; Elizabeth; Lee, Shanjean; Watts, Theresa; Busch, Deborah
Abstract:
Management of osteoarthritis, a common disease among veterans, includes referrals to orthopedic specialists. This requires an effective referral system. The aim of this study was to evaluate a quality improvement project addressing inefficiencies in the osteoarthritis referral process between primary care providers and orthopedic specialists. A pre- and post-intervention evaluation using medical record review and provider surveys was conducted to measure the process improvement of a primary care to orthopedic referral template. There was a 3.5% increase in the referral acceptance rate following the intervention. In addition, primary care providers perceived that role clarity and perception on making referrals had significantly improved. The largest perceived improved change among orthopedic specialists was in communication. A simple process change, such as improving the referral template, can help with communication, data transfer, and referral acceptance rates between primary care providers and orthopedic specialists. This in turn will benefit the large population of veterans needing orthopedic referrals for management of osteoarthritis.

- The Effect of Postoperative Sleeping Position on Knee Extension and Range

Abstract:
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an orthopaedic operation that improves quality of life and reduces pain in patients with disabling arthritis of the knee. One commonly recognized complication is flexion contracture of the knee. Early physical therapy helps prevent flexion contracture and improve range of motion (ROM) postoperatively. This study evaluated postoperative sleeping position and its effect on terminal knee extension and ROM following primary TKA. We hypothesized that patients who slept in the supine position would achieve earlier knee extension and greater ROM when compared to those in the lateral recumbent position. A total of 150 consecutive primary TKAs were performed by a single surgeon (J.M.C.) from April 2014 to December 2014. The data were collected prospectively to determine preoperative ROM, postoperative ROM, and sleeping position. Mean postoperative terminal extension ROM at 1 month was 2.9 degrees in the supine group versus 6.0 degrees (p

Abstract:
Nonpharmacological methods are used in the management of pain and kinesiophobia following total knee arthroplasty. The aim of this double-blind randomized controlled trial was to examine the effect of foot reflexology on pain and kinesiophobia in patients following total knee arthroplasty. A total of 40 patients (20 in the control group and 20 in the intervention group) were randomly assigned to either of two groups for the study. The intervention group was exposed to foot reflexology. Postoperative Visual Analog Scale scores decreased faster in the intervention group compared to the control group (F = 80.417; p

Authors: Faber; Sara; Brown, Alexandria; Cottreau, Jessica
Abstract:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used to manage mild to moderate pain. While limited use is appropriate for many patients, there are safety concerns with use in certain patient populations or with long-term use of these agents. Topical NSAIDs may provide analgesic benefits while decreasing the overall risks of adverse effects. This article will review safety information for both oral and topical NSAIDs.
