To assess the efficacy of ORS efforts in FY14-15,

I will reiterate, in the column below, the final

part of last year’s State of the ORS Address:

A popular philosophy in the world of bodybuilding goes like this: pack it on; carve it up. In other words, first, you build mass; next, you sculpt that shapeless mass into well-defined muscle. But first things first—you need to add mass as raw material for muscle creation. In calendar year 2010, the CON’s number of funding submissions peaked at 36. After that spike, however, yearly submission totals consistently settled into the low 20s. Therefore, a primary goal for FY2013-14 was to get that submission number back up—and we have nailed that goal, projecting to smash our record of 36 submissions by the end of calendar year 2014. This is excellent news. The hit rate on our submissions...that’s another story. In short, then, we spent FY 2013-14 packing on scholarly mass; we will spend FY 2014-15 sharpening up and perfecting that scholarship. An ORS submission process will be introduced soon. Another recently launched ORS initiative is the OSKJ Panel, which serves to vet ORS products. More details about integrating OSKJ into the grant submission process will follow.

ORS is active and purposeful. In the past year, we have stockpiled talent, energy, and scholarly products. In FY14-15, we will continue to develop the valuable materials we have accumulated. Let the mandate for the upcoming year read as follows: “Carve it up!”

The preceding section from last year’s State of the

ORS Address signaled the primary objective for

FY14-15. So, in retrospect, did we “carve it up”?

Last year’s Address talked about the rollouts

of the new ORS Pre-submission Timeline and

the OSKJ Panel. And yes, both of these

instruments were rolled out successfully in

FY14-15. The introduction of the new Timeline

coincided with marked progress in the success of

our submissions. The introduction of the OSKJ

Panel—now the ORS Review Panel—also

coincided with marked progress in the success

of our submissions.

Therefore, as we kick off this year’s ORS

Annual Report, I am pleased to say that we have

met the objective spelled out at the kickoff of last

year’s ORS Annual Report. Not only have we

continued to step up our volume of grant

submissions, but we have also shifted many those

submissions from the unscored to the scored

column, and, most significantly, we have secured

funding, in the form of 2 PCORI grants

(Krause-Parello, Jones), 1 CCTSI Community

Engagement grant (Harpin), and 1 STTI grant

(Gorton). Furthermore, we have made it past the

first reviewers’ cut for both an AHRQ grant

(Ozkaynak) and an EDM Forum grant (Reeder/

Sousa). These are great individual and

institutional accomplishments!

We have a clear picture of where we

ultimately want to be. We have developed a

roadmap for getting there. And we have

embarked.

CNR-to-CRNS Open House

August 25, 2014

The name change from Center for Nursing Research

(CNR) to Center for Research and Nursing Scholarship

(CRNS) reflects expanding ORS inclusivity in that

(a) de-coupling “Research” from “Nursing”

acknowledges that not all CON research is nursing research and (b) adding “Scholarship” to the CRNS

name acknowledges that valuable academic work

comes in variegated forms. And the inclusivity push is

not just nominal: renovations have made Room 4224 a

place where ideas collide and partnerships form. The

Open House gave the CON a chance to see the new

CRNS logo and thank CNR RAs Tiffany Callahan and

Alex Schneider for their outstanding work.

The purpose of the College of Nursing Research

Scholarship and Seminar Series is to provide a

regular forum of research and scholarly

presentation and dialogue in the College of

Nursing and with the larger campus community.

The Series goals are to (a) promote the

development of a scholarly community

characterized by active engagement, mutual

accountability, and individual accomplishment;

(b) foster continued advancement of research/

scholarship programs of faculty and graduate

students through scholarly critique and

dialogue; and (c) provide a forum for

presentation of faculty and graduate student

research and scholarship within both the

College and the larger campus community.

ORS Fall Research Mini-Retreat

October 31, 2014

Through mechanisms like the Doris Kemp Smith Award, the ORS

Faculty Research Committee contributes to the development and

progress of CON research. Specific Research Committee functions in

support of the ORS research mission include (a) collaborating with

the Associate Dean of Research and Scholarship in convening review

panels for proposals and ensuring adequate review of proposals;

(b) overseeing the conduct of intramural research, managing the

Intramural Scholarship Program, and allocating Intramural

Scholarship Program funds; (c) providing funds for attending

conferences, obtaining software, and compensating external

reviewers; (d) making recommendations to the Associate Dean for

Research and Scholarship regarding allocation of funds to support

faculty research travel and scholarly endeavors; and (e), most

broadly, promoting CON nursing research and scholarly endeavors

in the healthcare community through inter-disciplinary and

inter-professional outreach.

ORS Lunch for Clinical/Teaching-track Faculty

February 20, 2015

Building further on the 2014-

2015 incorporation of clinical/

teaching-track faculty into the

CON’s research mission, ORS

hosted a lunch event expressly

for clinical/teaching-track faculty

members. And the theme of this

gathering was as follows: this

event is not a one-off event. The

opportunities and support

services that ORS promoted on

that day—at that event—are the

same opportunities and support

services that are always available

to anyone in the CON. In short,

ORS will always marshal all of its

resources and direct them at any

CON research project. That is

why ORS is here. This targeted

lunch event sought to spread

awareness of ORS’s ability and

willingness to help.

ORS Tea

June 29, 2015

This event served to (a) welcome Fanta

Kuhlman to the CON and (b) thank

Barbara Creswell for majorly stepping

up in a post-award capacity prior to

Fanta’s arrival. Along with the

eponymous drink, pastries were served. And thank you to everyone who came

to the Tea and made it such a success!

Attendance fluctuated, of course, but at

its peak, 36 people were crowded into

the CRNS, welcoming Fanta and

thanking Barbara. This number includes

Mary Burman, Dean of the University of

Wyoming School of Nursing, who was

in town. Again, thank you all for

celebrating with us!

The 2015 SEM Intensive took place

from June 23rd to June 26th. This

year’s event had 10 attendees, some

of whom received course credit for

their participation—the first time the

Intensive has offered that option

through Nexus. Thank you to Karen

Sousa, Paul Cook, Oli Dziadkowiec,

and Sarah Schmiege for making this

an event that draws inquiries and

attendees from around the country

and around the world.

CRNS Participation in the Colorado Collaborative for Nursing Research (CCNR)

CRNS director Dr. Oliwier Dziadkowiec has been serving as the main analyst for CCNR external

stakeholders, in particular, University of Colorado Hospital and Children’s Hospital Colorado. He has also

been collaborating with the signature CCNR initiatives: the CU Nursing Informatics and Collaborative

E-Health (NICE) Research Core and the CU Patient-Initiated Data (CUPID) project.

In FY14-15, CRNS provided more total consultations and consultation hours than in FY13-14 (Table 5).

II. CENTER FOR RESEARCH AND NURSING SCHOLARSHIP

From CNR to CRNS, 8/25/14

Converting the “Center for Nursing Research” into the “Center for Research and Nursing

Scholarship (CRNS)” acknowledges that not all research conducted through ORS is nursing

research—there is also research in pedagogical theory, public health, and more. Insertion of the word

“Scholarship” into the CRNS name serves the same purpose: it recognizes that valuable academic work

comes in variegated forms. And CRNS Director Oliwier Dziadkowiec is always working to make Room

4224 a more inviting gathering place, where ideas can collide and partnerships can form.

28

II. ORS STATISTICAL AND RESEARCH SUPPORT CORE

CRNS: FY14-15 Accomplishments

Overall, CRNS has been used more in FY14-15 than FY13-14 (Table 1). Highlights once again include

the large number of DNP students and PhD students supported in QI projects and dissertation projects.

Additionally, the CRNS director and CRNS RAs have developed more long-lasting partnerships with

faculty through repeat consultations and manuscript/presentation co-authorship. CRNS has also become

more involved in Colorado Collaborative for Nursing Research (CCNR) projects, where the CRNS director

is assisting with statistical analysis and the setup of federated data systems/databases.

Last year’s CRNS annual report identified three major challenges: (a) RA staffing, (b) DNP project support,

and (c) keeping up with new statistical methods through continuing education. The following paragraphs

capture the accomplishments CRNS has made in addressing those challenges.

ColoradoSPH Connect. In order more efficiently to recruit research assistants from the Colorado School

of Public Health, CRNS has established an employer profile on the ColoradoSPH Connect website.

ColoradoSPH Connect is “the centralized hub for all job, practicum, internship, and volunteer postings.”

This allows CRNS job postings to be viewed by all interested CSPH graduate students, which has helped

in maintaining a larger applicant pool and hiring higher quality RAs.

New DNP Project Guidelines. In an effort to improve the quality of the DNP consultations, CRNS staff has

created a set of guidelines for using statistical tests, power analyses, and Microsoft Excel (to create control

charts for analysis). In collaboration with Drs. Cook and Nelson, Dr. Dziadkowiec has helped to create a

new set of instructions for DNP related analysis, which includes the use of an expanded number of Run/

Control chart methods.

Missing and “Dirty” EHR Data Research . The past year’s work with data from electronic health records

(EHR) has helped the CRNS director in starting a research area dedicated to dealing with missing and

“dirty” data extracted from the EHR. Along with his colleagues from the CU School of Medicine and

University of Iowa, Dr. Dziadkowiec has pursued PCORI funding, aiming to develop new statistical

software and framework for dealing with missing and “dirty” EHR data. The first product of this work

is a manuscript under review in eGEMs, an open source journal from Academy Health.

New CRNS-related Manuscripts. In addition to two new peer-reviewed published manuscripts, the

CRNS director and a former CRNS RA have co-authored 6 manuscripts currently under review. These

manuscripts are based on projects undertaken in FY13-14 with CCNR hospital partners and CON faculty

members.

New RA Time Tracking System Improvements. We have made improvements to our time-tracking system

in order to be able to track a larger number of work-associated variables. The major changes include a

drop-down task menu and an invoice/charging system. The task menu allows us to track more consistent-

ly the type of work we do, and the invoice/charging system allows us to keep track of our fee-for-service

work through one software application, which makes our financial tracking more reliable and organized.

FY15-16 Challenges

II. ORS STATISTICAL AND RESEARCH SUPPORT CORE

CRNS: FY15-16 Challenges and Opportunities

FY15-16 Opportunities

Staffing. As in the previous two years, maintaining RA staffing is an

ongoing challenge for the CRNS. We have made great strides in training

and recruiting new RAs, but due to high natural turnover of our RAs (as

they graduate) and an increasing number of consultation requests, it has

become difficult to find the required amount of time to fully train new RAs.

This has been especially difficult as consultation requests are becoming more

statistically complex and require a higher time commitment.

Keeping up with New Statistical Methods through Continuing Education. As the CON evolves and new statistical methods become necessary to

analyze EHR-embedded Big Data, the CRNS Director and CRNS RAs will

need to find time to learn new statistical techniques in order to meet the

more statistically demanding requests from our faculty and hospital

partners.

Expansion of CRNS Services. As CCNR moves closer to realizing its mission,

CRNS will likely expand the volume and complexity of services. Improving

RA training and securing funding for another part-time statistician will be

important.

Statistical Training Seminar Series. We will launch in Fall 2015/Spring 2016

a statistical training series, and we will also provide opportunities for CON

colleagues to present their research and scholarship at CRNS. We hope that

this will provide a forum for idea generation, networking, and collaboration.

Additional CRNS Scholarship. With our expanded training plans, we hope

to contribute to a larger number of funded CON grants and high quality

peer-reviewed manuscripts and presentations.

Overview

The Future of Health Care and the Future of Nursing

Because the future of the US healthcare system will be

written in the electronic health record (EHR), if nurses

today acquiesce to being represented simply as “box

checkers” in EHR—if nurses’ accept this non-substantive,

not-representative-of-nursing presence in the EHR—they

consign themselves to eventual obsolescence. After all,

automated systems already can assign tasks, provide

instructions, and record data. Robots can check boxes.

So to remain relevant and viable, today’s nurses must find

their voice in the language of the healthcare future: data.

And to be compelling in that language, today’s nurses must

produce and use data that isolate and capture the high

impact of quality nursing on patient outcomes. And these

data must appear in the germinal record of the evolving

future of healthcare: the EHR. In short, quantifying

nursing care in discrete data metrics and then integrating

those nursing care metrics into the EHR constitute an

existential necessity for the nursing profession.

The Colorado Collaborative for Nursing Research

The Colorado Collaborative for Nursing Research (CCNR)

is addressing nursing’s need for nursing-centered data. The

objective of the CCNR is to champion nursing by

(a) extracting nursing-specific data from the proprietary

EHR systems of multiple stakeholders; (b) importing,

harmonizing, and processing those data; and (c) returning

high-quality nursing-centered analytics to acute care

facilities in near-real-time to inform the decisions and

best practices of nurse leaders and nurse clinicians.

The CCNR has a three-arm structure: (1) a forum where

nurse scientists and nurse clinicians can share fresh

perspectives and leverage their collective weight in

contributing to broader healthcare conversations; (2) a

support services arm where nurse scientists can get

modeling, statistical, data-management, and writing help

in promotion of their nursing visions/projects; and

significantly, (3) a first-of-its-kind, multi-system, nursing-

focused, federated data-sharing network.

Governance issues need to be resolved before technical and resource

requirements can be defined. Specifically, we must have buy-in

from C-suite executives and legal issues must be resolved.

We must be a little further along in resolving governance issues

before addressing technical implementation issues (note: CCNR *is*

further along with the governance with 7 DUAs signed for the

30-day readmission project and requests for EHR data outstanding

in 3 organizations. All data sets should be delivered by end of

summer 2015).

Having an example implementation success story is important to

getting buy-in (CHORDS implementation of PopMedNet serves as

an example success story).

Emphasize Quality Improvement. De-emphasize the use of

“research” and research-related language in the academic sense.

Specify a simple QI/research question that is important to

organizations to incentivize participation (example from Michael

Kahn): "We hypothesize that the last pain score recorded before

discharge is related to likelihood of re-admission.

Implementation processes will be similar but must be contextualized

to each organization.

Even if outside funding is provided for technical hires,

organizational resources are constrained and access to them may

be delayed.

Anticipate a years-long process. Less than two years may be quick.

(The CCNR experience with 30-day readmission project exemplifies

this).

There is a need for a system to uniquely identify patients

across settings (master patient index for patient record linkage)

Build algorithm to get information from health record.

By getting executive buy-in, ramp up priority level among analytics

teams for pulling CCNR data .

Discussion of components of health (e.g., ability to concentrate, pursuit of

goals, memory, sense of control, positive change in symptom status) and

ways they could be captured in EHR. Each group (3) had its own way of

organizing the outcomes they thought could be used.

Group 1: “Our idea is to get the ‘low-hanging fruit.’” “Facilities

should allow patients to do—even in the hospital—what makes

them happy. If they smoke and eat potato chips on the weekend,

they should be able to that in the hospital.”

Group 2: “We struggled to understand what could be measured in a

meaningful way in the acute care setting.” “We recognize that

health has many components, but our collection and

measurement are limited to what is quantifiable.”

Group 3: “A lot of the items we discarded were actually very

important to the patient but weren’t necessarily measureable.”

Decisions about which components of health should be targeted, as

indicative of quality nursing, for inclusion in the EHR and subsequent

tracking: independently, the nurse groups reached 100% unanimity based

on feasibility of quantification and, therefore, of collection

Mobility

Sleep

Pain

Form a question up front (e.g., Does the pain score have any association with

the likelihood of being readmitted? Can we show that? And then, you can

start to ask, “What about the trend?”). “Quick, easy wins—descriptive—

1 screen rather than 15 in EHR.” “If you could get some external funding

for a pilot study, that would help validate it. Need to show some proof of

concept.”

Engage CNOs at the right time (i.e., be able to answer the following

questions: “What specific information do you want? What is the value

of the proposal? How will it be different from the data we have today?”

Short-term, get the CNOs together. Work with Linda Roan, Associate CNO

(MCA), and ask if she could convene the CNO table.

IV. FACULTY RESEARCH COMMITTEE

Summary of Activities

Areas of Excellence (AE): Areas of Excellence (AE) were created and funded in FY13. Their composition

and structure were carefully reviewed at a Fall 2014 research faculty retreat, and various Research

Committee and ORS policies and procedures were revised this year to emphasize the Areas of Excellence.

Each area gave a monthly report, which was reviewed at the subsequent Research Committee meeting.

CCTSI Participation: CCTSI funds again supported faculty development and conference presentations.

Elisabeth H. Boeker Award: The Boeker Award was conferred in FY13. The Boeker award guidelines

were revised in FY14 to emphasize fit of the research with the Areas of Excellence. A decision was made

to issue additional student-faculty research grants (modeled on the Boeker Award) using unexpended

Areas of Excellence funding. The call for proposals went out in April 2015, with a due date in September.

Two letters of intent were received in June.

Doris Kemp Smith Award: The Doris Kemp Smith Award guidelines were also revised in 2015 to

emphasize fit of the research with the Areas of Excellence.

Intramural Travel Awards, RA Awards, and Software License Awards: One faculty received funds in

FY14-15 to support an RA. Travel funding was extended on many occasions to both faculty and

students—for travel to WIN alone, the Research Committee provided funds to 15 faculty members

and 14 students.

Research Seminar Series: The Research Committee sponsored Jennifer Disabato’s presentation,

“Improving Transition from Pediatric to Adult Neurology Care: Outcomes of a Funded QI Project

Supporting the Expansion of Best Practices.”

Research Retreats: A half-day research retreat was held in November 2014 and another half-day update

was held in February 2015. Both retreats focused on the Areas of Excellence and research faculty needs.

The CON’s new Associate Dean for Finance, John Moore, attended the February retreat to discuss

research funding. The Dean attended a research session at a CON-wide mini-retreat in April 2015 to

discuss research funding and priorities. The research faculty forwarded a list of priorities for new faculty

hires to the Dean, with the idea of recruiting researchers who fit well with existing Areas of Excellence.

ORS Policies and Procedures:

ORS policies about peer-reviewed grant submissions which were reviewed with faculty who are

planning a grant submission. The new policies emphasize both internal and external review to

improve the quality of grant submissions and the likelihood of funding.

Research faculty merit evaluation guidelines, focused on the criteria for “exceptional” versus

“expected” performance in areas such as grant funding and publications.

CON strategic plan metrics related to research, with feedback provided to the leadership team.

Other Actions: The Research Committee updated its membership rules in the Bylaws, with changes

approved at the June 2015 faculty meeting. Changes focused on the definition of “research faculty” and

ensuring that at least 50% of the committee membership, which was increased from 3 to 4, are tenured

or tenure-track faculty.
