Item Assessment of neonatal resuscitation skills among healthcare workers in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya(Sage, 2022-08-25) Kamau, Pauline T.; Koech, Myra; Hecht, Shaina M.; McHenry, Megan S.; Songok, Julia; Pediatrics, School of MedicineObjective: Neonatal resuscitation is key in preventing neonatal mortality. The objective of this study was to assess the competence of healthcare workers in basic neonatal resuscitation at six hospitals in Uasin Gishu County in Kenya. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of healthcare workers based on the labor and delivery wards. Results: Of the 46 healthcare workers who were assessed with a written examination and skills assessment, 85% were nurses. While 46% were able to pass the written examination, none demonstrated all required steps of newborn resuscitation during the skills assessment by simulation. No significant associations were present between the pass rate of the written examination and years of experience, role, or prior in-service training. All of the hospitals had the basic equipment required for neonatal resuscitation. Conclusion: There is a need to further develop the neonatal resuscitation skills among healthcare workers in the labor and delivery wards in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya.Item Enhancing simulation education using expired materials(BMJ, 2019-09-20) Gable, Brad; Ballas, Derek; Ahmed, Rami A.; Emergency Medicine, School of MedicineItem Utilizing Modern Fleet Management Technologies to Track and Manage Indiana University Landscape Services’ Grounds Equipment Fleet(2023-08-01) Johnson, Tristan Beck; Ray, Matthew VetoTechnology integration is critical to the successful operation of any business or municipality. In today’s modern era of sophisticated machinery, smart sensors, and data tracking software, teams must develop a comprehensive software suite that caters to their needs as an industry. In the case of a large user group such as a municipality or higher education environment, these points are even more important. These large entities, unlike a business or production facility, function as small-to-medium-sized cities. Multiple divisions, multiple accounting methodologies, and multiple management teams are the norm for major universities. Ensuring that the university adopts and adheres to a widely adaptable set of operating procedures ensures that these various divisions can all work in a similar format while still allowing each team to adapt their procedures to their unique needs. One of the most difficult tasks of any university is the upkeep and maintenance of its physical assets. These can include the academic buildings, the infrastructure that heats and cools those buildings, and the equipment used to perform those maintenance duties for the physical assets of a university. This task is typically handled by a fleet management division. These fleet management divisions rely heavily on the latest technology to ensure their vehicular and equipment assets are maintained properly, replaced on schedule and ultimately can perform the duties of the workers who utilize them on a daily basis. In the same way that modern technology can improve the everyday functions of so many tasks in daily life, the proper fleet management software can handle many of the important tasks of a facility and fleet manager. Data acquisition can be largely automated, resulting in an accurate inventory of even the most sophisticated equipment fleets. The purpose of this study is to examine the potential optimization of a fleet management system at IU Landscape Services by examining the current framework of existing technologies available to Indiana University. The outcome of this exercise will be a proposed new direction to help accomplish these goals.
