Some ideas and theories in science meet with resistance. One of the examples when an idea is meeting with the resistance is immunization. More often children immunization meets with public resistance. As the vaccination of children is parents' decision many decides not to do it. Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s.
The authors Willock, Richardson & Mitchell et (2004) (as cites in Anson, Edmundson & Teasley, 2010) state: “Nurses and other health care providers should actively assist children to cope during the venipuncture procedure because this will reduce potential adverse effects.” (P1).This article suggests that nurses use the educational program consisted of a web-based tutorial session to improve their cares for venipuncture practices for pediatric patients. The authors Anson, Edmundson & Teasley (2010) say: “The goal is for education to increase nurses' perception that they possess resources and opportunities that can improve the venipuncture experience.” (P2). Additionally, the article uses single-group study method to analyze and determine if the evidence-based tutorial session can achieve nursing quality improvement. As the results indicate, the educational program tutorial session is successful in helping pediatric patients cope with
THE FEAR OF VACCINATING CHILDREN The Fear of Vaccinating Children in the 20th Century: Struggle Between Health Care Providers and Parents Sona Patel Pitzer College December 7, 2013 THE FEAR OF VACCINATING CHILDREN 2 Abstract Immunizing children caused tension between parents and health care providers.

Partnering with local hospitals and urgent care centers to connect with clients that recently suffered from exacerbations would be another area that I would immerse our attentions. Finally, home visits would be the most important factor toward a successful outcome to obtain the metrics of effectiveness educational interventions at schools and churches, also encouragement to continue proper asthma management for children. The Asthma Action Team program’s success was demonstrated 2007, the rate of pediatric ED visits was 855 per 1,000 children. In 2012, that number had dropped to 267 per 1,000 (Figley, 2014, p.1). This evidence based research motivates my initiative to see even greater success with the increase of

Vaccinations versus Autism Jennifer Barraza PSYCH/ 540 2 July 2012 Nancy Lees Vaccinations versus Autism As a child I remember the dreadful feelings of going to my pediatrician to receive my “mandatory” vaccinations. Back then, it was a non questionable routine to ensure your shot record was complete and up to date. Daycares, schools, and youth camps required parents to submit proof it was done. Society believed these vaccinations were administered to protest our children from diseases here and aboard.

In this paper I will discuss how the culture of a healthcare organization can improve hospital outcomes. Obama Care is a health care organization implemented through the democratic administration that helps individuals have a smoother medical experience by means of preventive care services, the Summary of Budgets Committee for nutritional benefits before and after a hospital stay, emergency room insurance acceptance with no turn away, pre existing condition and grandfathered insurance. Healthcare, 2012 show that the organizational design of Obama Care which consist of legislation to create health care, are a joint effort among the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, and the Department of the Treasury.

A marginal analysis will offer insight into the benefits of procuring physicians in rural or low income urban areas compared to the additional costs of having them provide services (Investopedia, 2014). This tool can help an organization maximize the profits associated with bringing in a new physician (Investopedia, 2014). By analyzing economic expansion, population growth, the work effort of physicians, and the services provided by mid-level providers such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners a manager or administrator will get a complete picture of the benefits and financial risks associated with a new physician (Cooper, Getzen, McKee, & Laud, 2002). By investigating these four trends, an organization can contemplate the need for more physicians in their area and whether or not their long-term needs will be met by a new
