ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ

I recently interned in the Quality and Research Department at in Austin, Texas. The experience enabled me to gain real-world experience while working on several important projects.

The first project was to update the CenterÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ™s infection prevention (IP) intranet site. This is useful for the development of a communication hub for the Infection Prevention Department. While updating it, I organized links and documents, as well as IP resources for department leaders to access. This intranet site has critical information that helps nurses and healthcare leaders in their decision-making.

The second project entailed updating the isolation-compliance database on the Joint Commission Resources website. I worked on navigating and creating reports. I also created a document explaining how to navigate Tracers with AMP, an innovative software tool, and create step-by-step reports for leaders. This helps them collect, analyze, and visualize patient safety and quality data.

The third project tasked me with summarizing the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria decolonization protocol into one page for frontline charge nurses. This summary helps them determine when patients should be in isolation, helping to promote everyoneÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ™s health and safety.
