5 The following contains peer review or other sensitive information and is therefore privileged and confidential. April 2014 PICU Edition Editor, Tracy Pasek, RN The Program By Jodi Licata & Tracy Pasek A member of what would become our PAGER team was assisting with CPR. Evaluation of the experience was poor the family could have been reunited with their child much sooner than what occurred. Coincidently, an AACN Practice Alert became available emphasizing the importance of family presence during resuscitation. Hence, the PAGER Program was born. P-A-G-E-R is an acronym for Parent Advocacy Group for Events around Resuscitation. The PAGER program is supported by our PICU leadership team. Prior to implementation, the program was presented to Critical Care Medicine at a PQRS meeting during which our physicians had an opportunity for input & questions. PAGER is an interdisciplinary collaborative nursing social work medicine. The scope and impact of the AACN Practice Alert (2010) is Evidence is mounting that family presence during resuscitation is beneficial to patients and families Karla Persia Becca Lavezoli Kylie Freshwater Cheri Cigna Alicia Duss Nicole May Abby Mysels Jodi Licata Tracy Pasek First, PAGER nurses attended an 8 hr. crisis intervention course sponsored by CHP s security officers. The course included staying safe during crises and interactive self-defense training. Second, they attended a 2 hr. session facilitated by Gwen Harcar, our Social Worker. This second curriculum was collaboratively developed by Gwen, Jodi, and Tracy and included didactic content (eg, stages of crisis, family response to crisis) and role play experiences. The role play entailed assessing parent readiness to reunite with their child who is experiencing a resuscitative event and therapeutic communication techniques. Evaluations for the latter course yielded positive comments from attendees. You will recognize our PAGER nurses as they are wearing this pin, graciously supported by Alyssa and Carrie. Family presence at the bedside of a child who is being resuscitated will NOT be imposed on families. It will be offered and supported, if the family wants to be with their child. PAGER nurses will function as a support to Social Work or function independently when Social Work is unavailable and time is of the essence. The PAGER nurses will stay apprised of new/current evidence as it relates to parental presence during pediatric resuscitation. PAGER nurses will evaluate how their role is developing (eg, positive experiences, barriers). Our Clinical Leaders will serve as important links in collaborating with and supporting PAGER nurses as resources. Lastly, the PAGER Program dovetails perfectly with our newly energized PICU Patient and Family-Centered Care effort! The End
