JUMPSTART Study
The JUMPSTART study aimed to optimize and evaluate a self-directed and home-based early mobilization (exercise) program for patients who have undergone a transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Myocarditis and Pericarditis Following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination Study
CEBI contributed to this multi-centre study, led by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS), by developing guides for health care provider and patient stakeholder consultations, drafting an evidence-based care management algorithm for providers, and creating a patient resource.
Virtual Nurse to Nurse Support Line Pilot Project
This support line was made up of experienced “virtual nurses” who supported bedside nurses via video, phone or secure text, after-hours. The program was piloted in various HHS clinical areas in 2023-2024.
PHRI Dissemination Strategy
As a member of the Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) advisory committee, CEBI led the development of a dissemination framework to be used by PHRI scientists.
Evaluation of Virtual Care
In order to optimize virtual care provided at Hamilton Health Sciences, patients, caregivers and health care providers were asked to complete a short survey about their experience(s) with receiving or providing virtual care.
Behaviour Safety Risk Communication and Care Planning (BSR) Program
The BSR program aims to reduce threatening, violent and/or responsive behaviours by patients against staff, through the implementation of a new screening and communication protocol.
CarDIA Study
The CarDIA study aims to reduce patient risk associated with invasive procedures, and to reduce health care system costs, by implementing a new centralized triage pathway for cardiac testing.
PICU Liber8
The PICU Liber8 project focused on reducing Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)-acquired complications through the implementation of a quality improvement bundle (i.e. PICU Liber8).
Procedural Sedation
Hamilton Health Sciences has developed a policy for procedures requiring moderate sedation. This policy will help to standardize care during these procedures and improve safety for both staff and patients.
