My background • Public health nurse visiting families in the community • Charged with automating documentation for outcomes: Omaha System was the surprise! • Began looking for outcomes in the data in 1999 in the community • Became a full time university researcher in 2007 • Began international research in 2010 • All of my research is in partnership with community

Serious and Persistent Mental Illness

– One Client, Nine Problems

Gapp, N., Weber, J., Monsen, K. A., & Darst, E. (2015). Feasibility of using the Omaha System for assessment to determine optimal living situation for persons with severe and persistent mental illness. Annals of Psychiatry and Mental Health, 3,2,1026. Knowledge Ratings Predict Optimal Living Situation • Gap between Knowledge and Status determined by observations of patient and interviews with staff • Comparison of client’s Knowledge, Behavior, and Status ratings – Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test • Substantiates need for structure in the environment Data Mining to Show Outcomes

Linking interventions

With Outcomes Home Care Intervention Patterns

• 621,385 interventions - 2,862 patients – Kmeans and Expectation Maximization created clusters

• Patients were most likely to be hospitalized if they received insufficient care – Analyzed clusters in comparison with hospitalization outcomes

• Federally Qualified • Advanced Nursing Care Health Center USA – How does the Japanese government define the interventions that nurses – How do FQHCs reach out with special advanced to underserved? training may perform in Japan? • Surveillance • Treatments and procedures

• Buutzorg Nederland • Nurse-led Clinics Mexico – How do nurse-led teams tailor – How do nurses provide holistic interventions to meet the unique care in nurse-led academic needs of community dwelling home care and hospice patients? healthcare centers? • Case management • Teaching, guidance and counseling Standardization Enables Comparison • Skin problems of home care patients in Istanbul compared to Minnesota • Services for high risk mothers with and without intellectual disabilities • Outcomes of public health nursing services across counties • Outcomes of Hispanic mothers with and without the Mental health problem

Omaha System Guidelines – Sughanda Rajput et al., 2015 Variability in Practice Patterns

Scope of Practice

• Understanding details about what nurses and other workers can do and should do for various types of clients • Improving quality of care and population health outcomes

Monsen, K.A., Foster, D. J., Gomez, T., Poulsen, J. K., Mast, J., Westra, B. L., & Fishman, E. (2011). Evidence-based standardized care plans for use internationally to improve home care practice and population health. Applied Clinical Informatics, 2, 373-384. Measuring Complexity of Nursing

TP 15% 34.7% of minutes had at least two interventions CM 44% TGC 22%

S 19% Observing Nursing

• Using the Omaha System as the basis for observations enriches our understanding of the complexity of care • Studies underway in school nursing, acute care, and public health nursing

• The Omaha System is relatively simple and provides a comprehensive, holistic picture of health • Can be used to describe patient strengths as well as signs/symptoms • Current research – refining the Omaha System for use by consumers – evaluation of strengths compared to needs and outcomes

• Our most recent work uses visualization techniques to understand what really makes a difference – Patient baseline scores (50%) – Patient problems (16%) – Nursing interventions tailored to meet patient needs (16%) – The nurse - being a great nurse makes a big difference! (17%)
