    • Clinical Problem Description

      • The clinical problem I would like investigated is established standards for infection control programs in home health and hospice. I have been unable to apply best practices for data collection, comparative data, and establishing program goals for infection control, as literature for home health and/or hospice programs is lacking. If the student group was unable to come up with a program to emulate, perhaps they could provide a template or ideal for us to promote moving into Q1 2022.

  • 5. Fall risk for hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors

    • Name, Job Title, Workplace

      • Denae Davis, RN, BMTCN, OCN (& Jen Lynch)

      • Nursing Supervisor

      • Seattle Cancer Care Alliance

    • Workplace Information

      • I am the nursing supervisor for SCCA's Long Term Follow Up (LTFU) Clinic within their Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) program. We also call this treatment hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT or HCT), which is a treatment for blood disorders (such as leukemia, lymphoma, aplastic anemia). LTFU specializes in preventing/managing late effects from the transplant and its preceding therapies and helping patients live with their new normal.

    • Clinical Problem Description

      • I am interested in: Fall risk and interventions for hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors: looking at the context of falls considering survivors’ risk factors and what are effective fall screening and prevention interventions we can implement. My focus and expertise are within BMT survivorship, though some of the late effects are generalizable to overall cancer survivorship (if you think BMT is too narrow), such as decreased bone density from deconditioning during treatment and decreased hormone production resulting from treatment. My BMT patients have the added risk of long-term prednisone therapy which decreases bone density and muscle mass. I think there is less literature on fall risks specific to BMT survivors than there is for fall risks for cancer survivors, so the fall risks and interventions would need to be extrapolated from the literature to be applied to BMT survivors.
