Many hospitals try for OHE. Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, Nebraska and Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland, Washington both have the Planetree designation. Good Samaritan’s philosophy is to promote a OHE through the belief that everyone is a caregiver, care is best giving with kindness and compassion, physical environment need to promote healing, health and wellbeing, and that safe and high quality care is vital to patientcentered care. They use the arts to promote healing by using music throughout the hospital and providing movies for patients. They belief that caring for the caregiver is as important as caring for the patients.
According to Ulrich and Zimring there are 600 articles that explain that the healthcare design can influence patient outcomes are published. When a hospital has a stressful environment to the patient’s healing process with loud intercom systems and machinery, long hallways that echo, bland colors and cramped rooms, it contributes to the patients stress level. These things will hinder a patients healing ability. Promoting and allow the patient to experience their spirituality and assisting them if needed will promote healing by allowing them a feeling of control and familiarity as being at
Running head: THE HEALING HOSPITAL The Healing Hospital Ramon Tieso Grand Canyon University Spirituality in Health Care HLT-310V Debbie Whitler April 14, 2012 The Healing Hospital The Healing hospital takes a holistic approach to healing. The goal is to create a healing environment. To create a healing environment it is necessary to address the patient’s spiritual well-being as well as his physical well-being.

Correct color selection plays an important part in the healing of patients within healthcare environments. A facility such as MACH distinguish that color selection can contribute to the welfare of the patients alongside the efficiency and competence of staff. Color selection can appropriately emphasize a warm, inviting, and secure environment (Piotrowski & Rogers, 2007). Lastly, color selection significance has a time-honored presence that allows the avoidance of an outdated appearance. While color selection can appear to be simplistic noise issues become an even more daunting challenge to overcome.
More often a nursing assessment is based on the medical side of the patient rather than the holistic approach. In this assignment I will be discussing the importance of the nursing process, care planning, and looking at how these are used in practice. I will look at the tools used in the nursing process and show an understanding of how effective they are when used correctly. I will achieve this by describing a case study of a patient from my practice area, and discussing two specific areas that affect the patients care. Throughout this assignment I will be using a pseudonym to maintain patient confidentiality in order to conform to ‘The Nursing and Midwifery Code’ (NMC, 2008).
1. What insights did you take away from the article? That the whole healthcare arena must eventually be guided by the transpersonal human caring theory which honors human caring relationships and not just simply as a practice of a health profession. Healthcare practitioners, including nurses, must have a conscious commitment of protecting the dignity of the patient and take him in his totality which includes not only his body and illness but also his spirit and his deeper human experiences of life. The healthcare profession must slowly cultivate an expanded model of wholeness and healing.
Hospital Observation Composition 2 Omar Kempson Everest University October 30, 2013 Walking in to hospitals always gave me conflicting feelings probably because it is place of health, healing, life and death neatly rolled in one. Walking through the sliding doors the air rushes you, clean and crisp. The atmosphere subtle and somewhat subdued you can at times pick out the emotions that float by. At first you can’t help but, notice the lights with an alarming brightness that’s like an assault on the rental. Always when I arrive I go straight to the front desk for directions which are never clear the security guard usually an older Blackman gives you instructions like go to the B elevators not the first set but the one around the corner take it to the 11th and the patient is in room 1145b to the right of the nurses’ station.
It is also important to know where and how theories can best apply to current nursing practice. Compare and Analyze a Common Core Concept A common core concept among Virginia Henderson’s need theory and Dorothea Orem’s self-care deficit nursing theory is nursing. Both theorists use the nursing concept in their theory to define the role of nursing. Henderson defines nursing as the unique function of a nurse to help a person sick or well in the performance of activities contributing to health or its recovery that the person would perform unaided if he or she had the necessary strength, will, or knowledge. Nursing can also consist of assisting an individual to a peaceful death.
Holistic healing means taking a "wholistic" approach to balance any imbalances in a “whole” person, i.e. body and mind, the physical and the mental. Holistic healing views the person as the sum of the parts instead of parts, which most medical doctors are guilty of practicing. Examples of holistic medicine are meditation, massage, aromatherapy, and reflexology (Vettese, Toneatto, Stea, Nguyen, & Wang, 2009; The Transcendental Meditation Program, 2012). The purpose of this paper will examine Transcendental Meditation (TM) as a method to improve the quality of health with a person’s with medical issues in the emergency room (ER).
A series of education training of documentation was implemented to help reduce episodes of Medicare payment denials and self-protection through adequate documentation. Thus, I will discuss the impact of inadequate nursing documentation that leads to malpractice lawsuits. Purpose of Medical Record Documentation Understanding the purpose of medical documentation was the first step in teaching how to prevent inadequate documentations that leads to liability and malpractice lawsuits. Monarch (2007) supports the purpose of Medical Record Documentation as the following: • Substantiating the health condition or illness or presented concern for the patient. • Effective communication among health care staff.
