Designing the Glucose Telemetry for Hospital Management: From Bedside to the Nursing Station.
Current diabetes reports, 2018Co-Authors: Medha Satyarengga, Tariq Siddiqui, Elias K. SpanakisAbstract:Hospitalized patients with diabetes are monitored with point-of-care glucose testing. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices represent an alternative way to monitor glucose values; however, the in-hospital CGM use is still considered experimental. Most inpatient studies used “blinded” CGM properties and only few used the real-time/unblinded CGM features. One major limitation of the CGM devices is that they need to be placed at the patients’ bedside, limiting any therapeutic interventions. In this article, we review the real-time/unblinded CGM use and share our thoughts about the development of future inpatient CGM systems. We recently reported that glucose values can be wirelessly transmitted to the Nursing Station, providing remote continuous glucose monitoring. Future inpatient CGM devices may be utilized for patients at risk for hypoglycemia similarly to the way that we use cardiac telemetry to monitor hospitalized patients who are at increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias.

study on the application of Station exchange in the training of Nursing compound talent
Journal of Nursing Administration, 2004Co-Authors: Wang ZhiminAbstract:Objective To study the means of application of Station exchange in the training of Nursing compound talent.Method To divide the process of Station exchange into several parts,and set up specified plans of Station exchange and evaluation standard.Result We have trained a bunch of compound talent who can deal with the urgent incidents quickly by executing Station exchange.At the same time,the nurses have improved their competitive ability,they played important roles in clinical Nursing education,management and scientific research.Conclusion It is feasible to apply Nursing Station exchange to train Nursing compound talent.

development of a wireless attendant calling system for improved patient care
2015Co-Authors: Debeshi Dutta, Biswajeet Champaty, Indranil Banerjee, D. N. TibarewalaAbstract:The present proposal revolves around the fabrication of a finger movement based wearable wireless attendant calling system. The system comprised of a flex sensor and a hall-effect sensor coupled with Arduino UNO and worked synchronously with patient hand movement. The concurrent activation of both the sensors enables the conveyance of patient location (ward and bed numbers) to the nurse Station through Xbee protocol and a one-way SMS correspondence to a preloaded mobile number through GSM protocol. The device is capable of handling multiple patient requests at a time with minute time interval. A graphical user interface in MATLAB program monitors the patient status at the Nursing Station. The proposed device is expected to improve the quality of the patient care.

Wireless transmission of alarm signals from baby incubators to neonatal Nursing Station
2014 First International Conference on Automation Control Energy and Systems (ACES), 2014Co-Authors: Saikat Sahoo, Biswajeet Champaty, Kunal Pal, S. Saha Ray, D. N. TibarewalaAbstract:With the advancement in technology, medical industry has also evolved and reached sky-high in the current day world. The mortality rates of the premature newborn infants have been brought under control. Baby incubators play an important role in this. Even after the advancements in technology, there is a need for instrument-health caregiver (HC) interactions due to varied reasons. Unfortunately, due to the higher patient: HC ratio the workload on the HCs is very high. This paper discusses about the development of a wireless transmission of incubator indicator alarms to the neonatal Nursing Station for the early intervention of the HC. The developed technology will reduce the workload of the HCs.

Development of a low-cost device to detect blood backflow in catheters
2013 Annual IEEE India Conference (INDICON), 2013Co-Authors: Sitipragyan Satapathy, Biswajeet Champaty, Kunal Pal, S. Saha Ray, D. N. TibarewalaAbstract:The current study deals with the development of a blood backflow detector which can generate an alarm in the Nursing Station so that the health caregivers can attend the patient in the shortest possible time.

how patients and nurses experience an open versus an enclosed Nursing Station on an inpatient psychiatric unit
Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, 2015Co-Authors: Mona Shattell, Kelly Southard, Robin Bartlett, Christine A. Judge, Kyle Beres, Claire Bell, Patricia DukeAbstract:The inpatient environment is a critical space for nurses and patients in psychiatric settings. In this article, we describe nurses' and patients' perceptions of the inpatient environment both before the removal of a Plexiglas enclosure around a nurses' Station and after its removal. Nurses had mixed feelings about the enclosure, reporting that it provided for confidentiality and a concentrated work space but also acknowledged the challenge of the barrier for communication with their patients. Patients unanimously preferred the nurses' Station without the barrier, reporting increased feelings of freedom, safety, and connection with the nurses after its removal. It is important to consider the implications of environmental decisions in inpatient settings in order to promote a healthy workplace and healing environment for all community members.

Enclosed Versus Open Nursing Stations in Adult Acute Care Psychiatric Settings: Does the Design Affect the Therapeutic Milieu?
Journal of psychosocial nursing and mental health services, 2012Co-Authors: Kelly Southard, Ashley Denise Jarrell, Mona Shattell, Thomas P. Mccoy, Robin Bartlett, Christine A. JudgeAbstract:Specific efforts by hospital accreditation organizations encourage renovation of Nursing Stations, so nurses can better see, attend, and care for their patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Nursing Station design on the therapeutic milieu in an adult acute care psychiatric unit. A repeated cross-sectional, pretest-posttest design was used. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 81 patients and 25 Nursing staff members who completed the Ward Atmosphere Scale. Pretest data were collected when the unit had an enclosed Nursing Station, and posttest data were collected after renovations to the unit created an open Nursing Station. No statistically significant differences were found in patient or staff perceptions of the therapeutic milieu. No increase in aggression toward staff was found, given patients' ease of access to the Nursing Station. More research is needed about the impact of unit design in acute care psychiatric settings.

“Nurses Station” or “Nursing Station”? How to Appropriately Describe Our Work Space in Acute Care?
Issues in mental health nursing, 2010Co-Authors: Ashley Denise Jarrell, Mona ShattellAbstract:The term “nurses’ Station” is often used synonymously with “Nursing Station” without thought to the contextual differences between the two. While many people are guilty of making this error, the more astounding revelation is that most are unaware of it. The term “nurses’ Station” implies a possessive quality, as if to say the nurses own or run the Station. Conversely, “Nursing Station” has a generic quality to it that suggests tasks or duties that a nurse might perform in that area. Technically, either term could be used correctly to describe the area. However, the terms’ differences are subject to interpretation and open for misconception. Any misconception can cause the receiver to take offense, misconstrue, or act in a manner that is incongruent with the senders intended message. How do people use these terms and why do people choose one term over the other? The dissonance that exists with these terms is an intellectual and curious debate that needs to be explored. A cursory search of the Nursing literature revealed that both terms are used. For example, Goldstein (1979) chose “Nursing Station” throughout his article to describe how the Station was used, which was for job-related functions and also for collaborative purposes. Shattell, Andes, and Thomas (2008) also used “Nursing Station” in their study that examined space within the acute psychiatric setting. The physical and environmental aspects of the Nursing Station were examined and described as a setting within the larger context of the acute care unit (Shattell, Andes, & Thomas, 2008). For the purposes of the above authors’ articles, “Nursing Station” was used to
