Abstract

Patient belongings getting lost is an important issue in emergency rooms across the country. At the University of Louisville Hospital, a Level 1 Trauma Center, belongings are frequently cut off or removed by staff to aid in the care for the patient and subsequently lost. To problem solve this issue, an IUS RN-BSN student developed a plan where all belongings are taken off patients and placed in bins placed in a centralized location. This poster will present the problem solving and development of a successful process to ensure the safety of patient belongings during an emergent time in their life.
