NHC is not obviously compliant with this standard; the items are mentioned in the policy but not clearly defined. This will need to be corrected in order to be fully compliant with JC.

Structure is measured by the staff: amount, skill-level, and education or certification. Process indicators measure the facets of nursing care, such as assessment and intervention. Outcome indicators refer to patient outcomes that are affected by nursing care and are considered nursing-sensitive if directly affected by the quantity or quality of the nursing care (ANA, 2013). Through understanding of nursing-sensitive indicators and integration into daily practice, the staff caring for Mr. J could have been more aware of potential issues that interfere with patient care. Knowledge of the increased risk for pressure ulcers and the need for frequent turning and off-loading of pressure points could have allowed the staff to prevent the one forming along Mr. J’s spine.
This score is known as the Early Warning Score (EWS) and is used in order to ensure all staff can recognise and report when a patient is becoming more poorly. All charts will have a clear monitoring plan indication what observations must be taken and how often these must be checked.

It is also clear that employees are having difficulty with knowing what and when professional development activities are offered or required. The necessity for employees to be active in professional development, drives the necessity for this project. Allowing easier access to this information in a centralized location and allowing employees to interact, add events to their schedules, and receive alerts of events would solve this issue and would further allow for professional development to be in tune with our company's mission to have the greatest employees in the industry. The need, also, to allow employees to document information gained from professional development events is evident.

These methods may help the experts in developing sound strategies when providing treatments to the intended products. Questionnaires, observation, and interviews are the main forms of data collection that may be applied by professionals in the health care industry for testing products before they are injected thus reducing the level of infections received during treatments. Some infections occur due to the fact that professionals in health care are not serious or they become negligence when offering services to patients, (Spector, 2012). These forms of data collection may be used for the purpose of getting the required information before offering services to the products. Physicians and doctors are supposed to do enough observations when handling patients or products in need of injection so as to determine the quality of services they are supposed to be offered.
Malcovich of this patient’s presentation early on in her visit allowed him to investigate the details of her health and psychiatric history. He was also able to check laboratory and test results and have complete access to up-to-the-minute patient care notes. This allowed him to begin contemplating patient management options. St. Theresa’s, unfortunately does not offer inpatient psychiatric services.
