I did a quality improvement project at Klamath Tribal Health and Family Services for my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. The project was entitled Prescription Refill Management Quality Improvement Project Utilizing Standardized Protocols for RNs in a Tribal Clinic. The aim of the project was to achieve a more streamlined method for prescription refill management by employing evidence-based, RN-guided prescription refill protocols. Implementation of the protocols was to decrease the workload for the providers by allowing RNs to refill prescriptions using predefined algorithms. The project contained measurable objectives and aims with varying methods of evaluation (surveys, pretests and posttests, paired t-tests, questionnaires) to determine if the goals of increased consistency in refill management procedures; and improved patient, provider, and nurse satisfaction with the refill processes are achieved. The date of completion for this project was July 2017. The project was a success, and the nursing staff was able to handle 78% of refill requests using the predefined algorithm, successfully reducing provider workload.Past Research. As a nurse practitioner student at Delta State University, I completed a research project in 2011 entitled A Replication of the Breast Education and Early-Detection Project (B.E.E.P.): A Comparative Analysis of Pre- and Post-Breast Education Program Participant Learning. The premise of the research was centered on breast health education, health promotion and self-care. By the end of the research period, there was a significant increase in breath health post-test scores compared to pre-test scores, and participants reported more self-breast examinations, clinical breast examinations and mammography screenings in the three-month period immediately after the education sessions.PublicationOleribe, O., Miller, R., Wadzeck, M., Mendez, N., Tibay, J., Devine, A. et. al.
