Abstract

This study is currently still in progress. We are in the final stages of a pilot study that was supported by this ORCA grant. A new and funded version of the study will begin in January based upon the findings of the pilot. As noted in our IRB, our pilot study was conducted as a quality improvement project at Utah State hospital (USH).
