Aromatherapy Interventions for Patient Discomfort: A Cost-Benefit Report For Nurse and Healthcare Leaders

April 19, 2021
Prevalent across units, burdensome to recovery as well as hospital resources, and acutely disliked by patients: nausea-related discomfort is considered a particularly pernicious issue in the clinical setting. Calculating the financial toll of nausea and vomiting is complex and varies from hospital to hospital, but we generally observe that several consequences of failing to control nausea and vomiting, namely unanticipated readmissions, protracted care needs, increases in staff time, and unfavorable patient survey scores, contribute to these increases. The rise of integrative care solutions, specifically the use of inhaled aromatherapy interventions, may offer an effective strategy to healthcare leaders striving to improve their facility’s care outcomes while managing costs.
This report examines inhaled aromatherapy as an emerging complementary practice in nursing, and how it can help facilitate better patient, performance, and economic outcomes, by:
Improving patient satisfaction rates and perceptions of care
Reducing risks caused by errors or medication interactions
Reducing the length of stay and readmissions
Maximizing efficiency so that nurses can preserve their time, focus, and wellbeing
Integrating easily into existing treatment strategies
This report is authored by Soothing Scents Inc., the manufacturer of QueaseEASE, a non-pharmacological aromatherapy intervention to manage sensations associated with patient nausea and vomiting.
Hospitalists are an extremely efficient mechanism to ensure capture of HCCs for hospitalized patients through comprehensive documentation and recording of relevant ICD-10 codes on their professional services claims.
In addition, hospitalists are more reliable, less expensive, and less risky than home health visits or retrospective chart reviews.
In this case study, you will get insight into the goals of our HCC Recapture Program as well as proven results that lead to reproducible outcomes.

Dignity Health is one of the nation’s largest health systems and operates one of the largest hospital-based telehealth networks, known as Dignity Health Telemedicine Network (DHTN). While providing a range of telehealth services to its emergency department (EDs), DHTN began to notice that EDs had limited access to specialty behavioral health providers, which led to long wait times for both patients who needed psychiatric consults.
Read this case study to learn how DHTN partnered with Amwell to provide 24/7 access to acute behavioral health providers, and how that partnership led to:
A reduction in bedside response time to under 50 minutes
A decrease in the average case time for a patient
A discharge recommendation rate of approximately 40%
A new focus on the standardization of behavioral healthcare
