In patients aged 18 years and older in the ICU, how does the utility of a nurse- driven palliative-care screening tool compared to the physician driven referrals improve early referral of consultations within 24 hours of patient admission over an eight week period? The student collected data over an 8-week period after a nurse-driven palliative-care screening tool was instituted in the ICU. The student anticipated to include 100 patients from the retrospective chart reviews, and 100 patients from the prospective chart reviews. Data were manually extracted from the electronic medical record and recorded in an excel workbook with two tabs. Demographics included age, ethnicity. Outcome variables included (1) whether or not palliative care consultation (PCC) was performed when patient met PCC criteria (No =0; Yes =1); (2) range of time (timeframe) between the ordered PCC and patient’s admission date to the ICU. 1. Set up an excel file remembering that data should be numeric, and coded so that labels can be entered into SPSS. (50 points) Use two tabs in excel: one for the data collection and one for the coding. On the data collection tab, make sure that: Each row represents a participant in the project Each column represents
