Choi S. Evidence-Based Research in Nursing Science: A Reproducible Framework. Western Journal of Nursing Research. 2021 Sep;43(9):828-833. doi: 10.1177/0193945920977792.

Abstract:

While current clinical research generally employs complex computational methods to analyze large amounts of data, reproducible research is a growing movement within the scientific community. This methodology paper consists of five sections discussing the definitions of replicability, reproducibility, and reproducible research, the current status of reproducible research in nursing science, the introduction of a reproducible framework, and the challenges and recommendations for reproducible research. To ensure the data preprocessing process and data analysis of an original study at the minimum standard, it is necessary for the study’s data investigative cycle to be transparent. Most arguments for reproducible research were driven by a critical review of journal articles and conference proceedings. The suggested methodological framework capturing how scientific research generates is expected to contribute to guiding nurse scientists to conduct reproducible research. To generate high-quality scientific evidence for evidence-based practice, the reproducible framework should be integrated into nursing research.

Oregon National Guard arrives Thursday in Bend to prepare for hospital assignments

Starting at 8 a.m. Thursday, 150 members of the Oregon National Guard will begin to arrive at the Armory at 875 SW Simpson Ave. to prepare for their assignments at St. Charles’ hospitals.

The Guard members, who are coming from all corners of the state, will support the health system in nonclinical roles including screening patients and visitors at entrances, running and stocking supplies, preparing and serving food and assisting patients in roles that do not require licensure.

“We are tremendously grateful for the Oregon National Guard members who are leaving their jobs and families to answer our hospitals’ call for help,” said Joe Sluka, St. Charles’ president and CEO. “While they will not be providing bedside care to patients, they are going to be bridging gaps in staffing elsewhere in the system that are critical to our operations.”

Members of the Guard—which has initially committed to supporting St. Charles through Sept. 30—will start working throughout the health system on Friday, covering both day and night shifts. 

“It’s an honor to serve in our communities, when needed,” said Stephen Bomar, director of public affairs for the Oregon Military Department. “This wouldn’t be possible without the continued support of employers and loved ones.”

St. Charles opening Urgent Care and drive-through COVID testing on Bend campus

To expand our ability to provide care to the growing number of COVID-19 and other patients in our community, St. Charles is opening:

• An Urgent Care clinic in the Bend East Family Care building at 2600 NE Neff Road.
• Drive-through COVID-19 testing in the back of the parking lot of the 2600 NE Neff Road building. To access drive-through testing, please follow directional signs.

Both services will start Monday, Aug. 16. Initial hours of operation for both will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, to be expanded as need arises and resources allow.

St. Charles’ Emergency Departments are the best places for care for people experiencing an acute health emergency. It is critical that patients who do not need an emergency level of care avoid the Emergency Department at this time. Community providers are encouraged to send appropriate patients to primary or Urgent Care facilities first when at all possible.

In general, emergency care is needed for life-threatening medical conditions and serious injuries. Urgent care is for same-day evaluation and management of acute conditions and worsening chronic conditions that do not rise to the level of a life-threatening emergency. Primary care is for a broad spectrum of preventive, acute and chronic condition management and health checkups, as well as other non-emergent health issues. Anyone who is unsure about the need for urgent care versus primary care should contact their primary care provider. St. Charles clinics provide care to all patients regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.

In addition to the clinic opening Monday at Bend East, St. Charles operates Urgent Care facilities in the following locations across Central Oregon:

Bend South
61250 SE Coombs Place
541-706-5930

La Pine
51781 Huntington Road
541-907-7050

Prineville
384 SE Combs Flat Road
541-447-8750

We appreciate the support from our community as we all work together to ensure care is available within the hospital for our most critically ill patients.

If you’re a regular reader of St. Charles’ monthly e-newsletter, you know that in this space I usually spend a few million pixels talking about something that’s happening at the health system – an exciting new service, important community partnerships, our incredible caregivers, goals for the future.

And more often than I’d like over the past year and a half: the COVID-19 pandemic.

This month is going to be different, however. This month, I want to point you to the other things in this newsletter, just in case you skipped over them. They’re that important.

• Read this article about the significant issues our hospitals are facing right now with regard to patient capacity, and how some of the cascading effects of the pandemic brought us to this point.
• Watch this video, which features our infectious disease expert, Dr. Cynthia Maree, answering questions about the ultra-transmissible Delta variant of COVID-19, which is now the dominant strain of the virus in Central Oregon.
• Plan to attend our virtual town hall at noon on Tuesday, Aug. 10, where health system leadership will talk about the many challenges we are facing. This is happening on Facebook Live, but anyone can attend and all are invited. Click here to attend.

Last but certainly not least, I want to urge you to get vaccinated if you are not already, and to wear a mask in indoor public spaces and crowded outdoor spaces, even if you are vaccinated. Remember: You got vaccinated to protect yourself. Now, you wear a mask to protect those who are not vaccinated – including our children.

I’m sure that you are ready to be done with this pandemic. So am I. But it is not done with us, unfortunately. Please stay informed, stay safe and know that we here at St. Charles are doing everything we can to navigate this and serve our communities.

Sincerely,
Joe

At St. Charles Bend, August of 2021 is starting to look more and more like December 2020, when a major surge of COVID-19 patients strained the facility’s resources.

This time, though, the strain is more severe, and it is being felt at hospitals across the state, said Dr. Jeff Absalon, St. Charles’ chief physician officer.

Health system officials fear the situation is only going to get worse.

“Our hospitals are in crisis,” said Aaron Adams, president of St. Charles Bend and Redmond. “We want to take care of people, but right now, we need their help.”

In the past few weeks, St. Charles has been forced to cancel many peoples’ much-needed surgeries to make room for the seriously ill. Still, the hospital is over capacity: inpatient beds are full, and as of Thursday, 17 people were “boarding” in the Emergency Department, which means they have been admitted to the hospital, but they are stuck in the ED while they wait for an inpatient bed to open up.

This overflow is taxing the Bend Emergency Department, which has 28 exam rooms – 17 of which are taken by boarders. As a result, ED caregivers are seeing patients in makeshift areas such as hallways and waiting rooms.

“I said in May we were dealing with the most critical capacity issues in my 27 years at St. Charles,” said Debbie Robinson, the hospital’s chief nursing officer. “It has only gotten worse in the past three months.”

Part of the problem is a new surge of COVID-19 patients, driven by the arrival of the ultra-transmissible Delta variant to Central Oregon. This week, St. Charles’ medical director of infectious disease and prevention, Dr. Cynthia Maree, said she believes greater than 95% of COVID-19 infections in the region are due to Delta.

With mask mandates lifted and more people gathering in groups, the Delta variant is spreading rapidly among the estimated 65,000 people in Central Oregon who are either unvaccinated or who have not been exposed to the virus. And people who are exposed to the Delta variant are generally getting sicker than those who were exposed to the original strain of COVID-19. Accordingly, hospitalizations are on the rise: Earlier this week, there were 37 COVID-positive patients at St. Charles Bend, the highest number since mid-June.

The latest COVID surge is not the only factor in the current crisis, but the pandemic has undeniably disrupted health care in profound and lasting ways, some of which are also contributing to the strain:

• Especially during the early months of COVID-19, many people were unable to access routine and preventive health care services. The result is hospitals around the country are busier than ever treating a higher-than-normal number of patients who are seriously ill.
• It’s not just illness, it’s injuries, too. Central Oregon is growing fast, and as it does, more people are getting hurt here. In the past, the health system has typically averaged about 1,200 trauma visits per year. In 2021, it’s on pace to hit 1,600.
• At the same time hospitals are seeing more and sicker patients, they are also struggling to shore up their workforce. It has become difficult to replace health care workers at the same rate they are leaving the industry due to early retirements and burn out. And locally, the increasing cost of housing is proving to be a major barrier for potential hires.
• Health care is an ecosystem in which physician offices, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and other kinds of health care providers interact and depend on one another. Hospitals are struggling to discharge patients who need skilled nursing care because those facilities, too, do not have enough beds and caregivers to meet the high demand for care. On Thursday, St. Charles had 37 patients in the hospital waiting for placement in an appropriate facility.

“This is bigger than COVID,” Absalon said. “There is a cascading effect that is causing incredible strain on the health system.”

That cascading effect is trickling down to the community.

“We need to stress: This impacts you,” Absalon said. (Yes, he means you.) “You need to take care of your health. Eat well. Make sure to exercise your body. Take your medication as prescribed. See your primary care provider and stay on track with your checkups and preventive screenings.”

And with regard to COVID-19, the message has not changed much as compared to earlier in the pandemic, he said.

“This is not going away anytime soon. I know people are tired of masks, but with the Delta variant’s transmissibility, everyone really should be wearing masks in indoor public spaces and crowded outdoor public spaces. And, of course, if you’re not vaccinated, please get vaccinated as soon as possible,” Absalon said. “We’ll work as hard as we can to continue to care for everyone who comes through our doors, and at the same time, we hope everyone out there will work as hard as they can to stay healthy.”

St. Charles begins work to implement state’s new health and safety rule

Gov. Kate Brown announced today a new health and safety rule that requires employees in health care settings to provide proof of vaccination or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing.

The requirement—which applies broadly to health care workers who have direct or indirect contact with patients or infectious materials—will apply Sept. 30, allowing St. Charles Health System time to prepare for implementation and giving caregivers time to become fully vaccinated if they are not already and choose to do so.

“This is welcomed news, as it allows us to further protect our workforce and our patients,” said Joe Sluka, St. Charles’ president and CEO. “We’re proud that 76% of our caregivers are already fully vaccinated, but we also know that means nearly a quarter are still vulnerable. The governor said today the more contagious delta variant ‘has changed everything.’ We think that’s right, too, as the numbers we’ve seen as of late are not at all encouraging.”

Oregon health officials have reported about 6,000 new cases of COVID-19 since July 26, which is nearly double the number of cases recorded the week prior and the highest weekly count since mid-January. In Deschutes County, the previous week case count reported on July 31 was 244—a 79% increase over the week before.

Hospitalizations are on the rise, too. Today there are 37 patients with COVID-19 at St. Charles Bend—four of whom are in our ICU—the highest number the health system has seen since mid-June.

“We are deeply concerned by the abrupt rise in case numbers, which we believe is due to the delta variant,” Sluka said. “The most recent and best data available shows patients with the delta variant have 1,000 times more virus particles in their systems than the patients who had the original virus. Put another way: it’s very, very infectious.”

As the governor made her announcement just today, St. Charles is only now initiating its work on what the implementation of this rule will look like. More information will be available in the coming weeks as details are finalized.
