Meeting Objectives: The meeting was convened to integrate best practices in medical documentation, initiate a research analysis focused on a pressure injury prevention bundle and its correlation with injury and disability rates, secure authorization for dedicated clinical hours, and perform a comprehensive review of the relevant literature.

Documentation

During the conference call, the need for meticulous and precise documentation of medical records for elderly patients in critical care was emphasized. It was noted that accurate record-keeping is essential for monitoring clinical progress and aligning with practice standards. Additionally, participants agreed on the requirement to document 20 practicum hours and 100 clinical practice hours, contingent upon preceptor approval. Organizing clinical activities and evaluations was recognized as a key part of streamlining the practicum workflow.

The following action plan was established: solicit feedback from supervisors to refine clinical activities and implement a structured data collection system. This system will be focused on recording critical metrics related to pressure injuries in geriatric patients. Furthermore, it was proposed that standards be developed for data entry and secure storage to ensure consistency and data integrity.

Table 1: Documentation Summary and Action Plan

Focus Area	Details
Documentation Goal	Accurate records for elderly patients in critical care
Practicum Hours	20 hours of practicum; 100 clinical hours with Preceptor approval
Clinical Organization	Schedule clinical sessions and evaluations
Action Item	Gather feedback, structure data collection, and standardize documentation

PICOT

The PICOT question developed for the research initiative is as follows: In elderly patients in critical care requiring complete assistance (Population), does the implementation of a pressure injury prevention bundle (Intervention), as compared to standard care practices (Comparison), result in a more significant reduction in pressure injuries (Outcome) over a three-month period (Time)? This clinical question is designed to evaluate the efficacy of a bundled care intervention in reducing pressure injuries among high-risk elderly patients.

To operationalize this research, participants outlined a course of action that involves establishing a formal intervention protocol and initiating participant recruitment. Implementation of the intervention will occur in alignment with ethical standards and patient safety considerations. Parallel to the intervention, a comprehensive literature review will be conducted to support the rationale and identify any gaps in evidence. The data collection process will also begin, ensuring the secure and ethical handling of sensitive patient information.

Table 2: PICOT and Implementation Plan

PICOT Element	Description
Population	Elderly patients in critical care requiring full assistance
Intervention	Pressure injury prevention bundle
Comparison	Standard care practices
Outcome	Reduction in pressure injuries
Time	Three-month period
Action Item	Develop protocol, recruit participants, begin intervention, and analyze findings

Clinical Hours and Review

Permission for completing specified clinical hours was discussed, with attention to allocating hours appropriately across various assessments. The meeting underscored the need to align clinical practice with academic goals by involving patients and care providers in evidence-based interventions. A plan was developed to conduct surveys among healthcare providers to gather insights on current pressure injury prevention practices and associated patient outcomes. Additionally, the team will assess patients’ self-care capabilities and provide education on prevention strategies, thereby supporting improved patient engagement.

In terms of literature review, an exhaustive analysis of research published from 2019 to 2023 will be undertaken. This review will focus on studies assessing personalized self-management, coordinated care approaches, and pressure injury prevention protocols in elderly critical care populations. Outcomes to be measured include pressure injury incidence, symptom control, quality of life, and hospital admission rates. The findings will guide the development of an effective capstone intervention strategy. Documentation of hours and project milestones will be maintained for academic validation.
