    This document outlines a PICOT worksheet for identifying a nursing practice problem related to readmissions, length of stay, and costs. The nursing student identified older adults undergoing hip replacement surgery who are at increased risk of hospital-acquired infections compared to younger patients. Relevant evidence was located showing that minimizing hospital length of stay and readmissions through strict infection control protocols can improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. The nursing evidence-based practice committee should focus on implementing best practices to reduce barriers and standardize precautions to prevent hospital-acquired infections in surgical patients.
