The learner will be able to explain how to develop outcome measures (indicators) as part of the student’s individual health plan The learner will be able to identify ways to use outcome measures to guide case management/care activities The learner will be able to articulate ways to use outcome measures to evaluate the care provided to students
3
Why Does it Matter?
4
Determine the impact school nurses have on students managing their chronic conditions (particularly diabetes and asthma) Example: Follow a standard, evidence-based practice of care/case management and measure the impact on: ◦ A1C ◦ Decreased time out of class ◦ Decreased emergencies ◦ Absenteeism (NASN, 2014)
6
It is the responsibility of the school nurse to implement and evaluate the IHP at least yearly and as changes in health status occur to determine the need for revision and evidence of desired student outcomes (NASN, 2013)
8
Developing Goals
9
For a student with Asthma ◦ Student participates fully in all school activities For a student with Diabetes ◦ Student increases understanding of pathophysiology of diabetes & develop or improve the skill necessary for management For a student with ADHD ◦ Student improves interactions with classmates and have at least one friend in class For a student with Cerebral Palsy ◦ Student maintains adequate nutrition and fluid intake For a student with Sickle Cell ◦ Student participates in regular school/class activities, including P.E., with modifications as necessary
10
Six categories of goals: ◦ Safe school environment ◦ Symptom management ◦ Self-care ◦ Academic success ◦ Supportive family/peer relationships ◦ Health care coordination (Keehner Engelke, et al, 2009) Case management is goal oriented based on the specific needs of the child and evaluated based on the impact on the child
11
(Keehner Engelke, et al, 2009)
12
School nurse needs to gather data from: ◦ Student ◦ Academic record ◦ Health record ◦ Parents ◦ Teachers (Keehner Engelke, et al, 2009)
13
The academic record is important in identifying those children whose illness is affecting their school performance Problems related to: ◦ Grades ◦ Attendance ◦ Time out of class ◦ End-of-grade (EOG) testing ◦ Participation in school activities are possible indicators for case management (Keehner Engelke, et al, 2009)
15
Start with the end in mind ◦ What are you trying to evaluate? ◦ Do you have a baseline measurement to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention?
16
For a student with Asthma ◦ Student participates fully in all school activities Outcome Measurement: ◦ Number of absences from physical education class ◦ Number of absences from school related to asthma ◦ Asthma Control Test score ◦ Number of times prn albuterol was administered each month
17
Asthma Control TestAsthma Control Test GSK, 2015
18
Significant reduction in specific symptoms such as: ◦ Chest tightness ◦ Wheezing ◦ Asthma attacks ◦ Students reported fewer problems with using their inhaler, being responsible for the medications, and controlling their asthma (Keehner Engelke, 2014)
19
For a student with Diabetes ◦ Student increases understanding of pathophysiology of diabetes ◦ Student develops or improves the skill necessary for management Outcome Measurement: ◦ Student verbalization of diabetes pathophysiology ◦ Demonstration of diabetes management skills

26
For a student with Cerebral Palsy ◦ Student maintains adequate nutrition intake ◦ Student maintains adequate fluid intake Outcome Measurements: ◦ Height and Weight ◦ Daily fluid intake ◦ Daily dietary intake
27
For a student with Sickle Cell ◦ Student participates in regular school/class activities, including P.E., with modifications as necessary Outcome Measurements: ◦ Student verbalization of precautions that should be taken in physical education ◦ Student verbalization of warning signs and when student should stop activity ◦ Student verbalization of how he will signal the physical education teacher that he needs a break
29
SMART ◦ Specific ◦ Measurable ◦ Action-oriented ◦ Realistic ◦ Time-limited
30
For a student with Diabetes ◦ Student increases understanding of pathophysiology of diabetes ◦ Student develops or improves the skill necessary for self-management Outcome Measurement: ◦ Student verbalization of diabetes pathophysiology ◦ Demonstration of diabetes management skills
31
8 year-old girl who has had diabetes since she was three years- old She is very confident testing blood sugar and adjusting insulin dose Just started using an insulin pump a couple months ago
32
Outcome Measurement: ◦ By the completion of the first semester Semone will demonstrate an increase in competence completing the following skills related to her diabetes management Review the basal rate on insulin pump to ensure it is accurate Set insulin pump to give prescribed bolus Reconnect pump to infusion set
33
(American Diabetes Association, 2014) Diabetes IHPDiabetes IHP
34
At every blood glucose testing and insulin administration demonstrate or review the following: ◦ Set insulin pump to give prescribed bolus ◦ Review the basal rate on insulin pump to ensure it is accurate ◦ Reconnect pump to infusion set
35
How will you measure this? How will you know you are successful? (Texas School Nurse Association, 2011)
36
Outcome Measures: ◦ Student verbalization of precautions that should be taken in physical education ◦ Student verbalization of warning signs and when student should stop activity ◦ Physical education attendance ◦ Student report of participation in physical education class ◦ Teacher report of student participation in physical education class
37
14 year-old with Sickle Cell Disease He wants to fit in with his friends and has in the past participated too hard in physical education class and resulted in a pain crisis Requires modifications that don’t signal him out from his classmates Needs to have a “system” in place so he can take a break in physical education class and not draw attention to himself
38
For a student with Sickle Cell ◦ Student participates in regular school/class activities, including P.E., with modifications as necessary Outcome Measurements: ◦ Student verbalization of precautions that should be taken in physical education ◦ Student verbalization of warning signs and when student should stop activity ◦ Student verbalization of how he will signal the physical education teacher that he needs a break
39
Outcome Measurement: ◦ Prior to the start of physical education class at second semester, Rodger will: Verbalize the precautions that need to be taken in physical education class Verbalize the warning signs that indicate he needs to stop exercising Verbalize how he will signal the physical education teacher that he needs a break Student will have no pain crisis as a result of overexertion in physical education class
40
In December the school nurse will meet with Rodger to review: ◦ Signs and symptoms of a pain crisis ◦ Actions that trigger a pain crisis ◦ Modifications that can be taken to help prevent pain crisis ◦ How Rodger will signal the teacher that he needs a break during physical education class ◦ What Rodger should do if the teacher does not respond
41
During the semester that Rodger is participating in physical education class the school nurse will: ◦ Check in with Rodger and the physical education teacher weekly during the first month of class to ensure that everyone is aware of the modifications ◦ Check in with Rodger at least twice during the semester to review the modification plan ◦ Review physical education attendance to ensure that Rodger is attending class
43
Assessment Nursing Diagnosis GoalsPlanning Implementation Outcomes
45
One outcome that seems to be relevant to most children enrolled in case management is an improvement in quality of life We have consistently found that children: ◦ Feel that they understand and manage their illness better ◦ They worry less about the long-term complications of their illness ◦ They are more open about discussing their illness with others (Keehner Engelke, et al, 2009)
46
Levy, Heffner, Stewart, and Beeman (2006) completed a randomized control trial and found that students with asthma who received case management by school nurses had: ◦ Fewer absences ◦ Emergency department visits ◦ Hospitalizations than students who received usual care The case management included: ◦ Weekly education and monitoring using a standardized curriculum ◦ Follow-up with school personnel, health care providers, and parents including phone calls to parents in the evening The nurses who provided the case management were full- time asthma case managers and each nurse covered four schools
47
Gerald et al. (2006) developed a case management program for students with asthma that involved: ◦ Case detection ◦ Medical management by study physicians ◦ Education of teachers, students, and parents Role of the nurse included oversight of the asthma action plan Only 7 school nurses in the district which had over 13,000 children
48
The study found that there was no change in: ◦ Attendance ◦ Grade point average (GPA) ◦ Emergency department visits ◦ Hospitalizations for children enrolled in the project The authors note that the study was difficult to conduct because school personnel were overburdened and could not provide the intervention consistently In addition, documenting academic outcomes was impossible because schools did not count absences in the same manner and so measures of attendance were unreliable (Keehner Engelke, et al, 2009)
49
We intended to train teachers at each school to conduct the educational classes for the children ◦ Teachers were overburdened with academic duties and were not able to participate These time constraints also prevented the teachers from assisting with the collection of pre- and posttest data (Gerald, et al., 2006)
50
No electronic data collection Didn’t collect baseline data No standard way to track absences in the school district Had to rely on teacher report for grades and behavior Lack of a standard outcomes documentation form
51
This study had difficulty tracking healthcare utilization Found that children used many different names and identities upon entering the health care system and were, therefore, difficult to track The social security numbers that parents provided to study staff often did not match those given to health care providers (Gerald, et al., 2006)
