Introduction The current health care industry has changed due to the approach used to provide services to patients. There is an increase in the level of infections received through the process of treatment. Sepsis infection is a condition that has grown in the health care industry, and it requires critical evaluation in order to get a solution. The national health regulatory agencies have developed some strategies that help minimize negative outcomes by way of ensuring that the products for injection are first tested. The focus of the paper is to come up with a strategy that will be used by the health care industry in ensuring that proper services are offered without developing any infections to the patients.
Quality Management Assessment Tacia Palmer HCS/451 Roger Arbuckle February 18, 2013 Introduction Quality management in the health care aims at ensuring that patients, who seek their services, obtain an exceptional provision of health care. According to Reichert (2011), every health care giver aims at providing quality services to their clients compelling them to employ quality management. Health care organizations perform this task to exhibit their dedication to providing the best care for their clients. Quality management application in health care businesses ensures that doctors and administrators benefit from the identification of ways to enhance internal procedures in order to ensure quality services for their patients. The major
In addition to identifying and following advanced directives, practitioners are also faced with the legal and ethical implications in end of life treatment and care. Palliative care and comfort care measures are another area that significantly impacts the health care provider also today. As we have made so many advances in medical care, we must also look at the quality of life that remains when we have prolonged someone’s life. As terminal conditions continue to progress, health care providers continue to have an ethical and legal obligation to promote the best possible care for the patient. Sometimes this means not aggressively treating a terminal illness and allowing the patient to choose to die with dignity and as comfortable as possible.
M1: Assessment of Argyle’s and Tuckman’s Communication Theories & the Role of Effective Communication & Interpersonal Interaction in Health & Social Care Effective communication and interpersonal interaction are vital in a health and social care setting. This can ensure that a service user’s needs are met by the healthcare professionals involved. An example of this would be a paramedic bringing a patient into hospital and communicating correctly with the doctors and nurses about the patient’s condition, such as if they have a particular type of injury or if they are allergic to any medication. If important information like this is insufficiently explained to other healthcare professionals, then treatment for the patient would be inadequate and have a negative effect on the patient’s treatment and recovery. To help understand communication and interpersonal interaction, two theories will be discussed, these are: Argyle’s Communication Cycle and Tuckman’s Group Theory.
Abstract In recent years, healthcare leaders and medical experts have expressed concerns about tough challenges ahead for healthcare and its leaders. While most agree that the issue warrants attention, consensuses divide around how to respond to the problem. The purpose of this paper is to summarize, explore and analyze Dr. Kyle Glazier’s article on Ronald G. Spaeth’s philosophies on healthcare, and examine Spaeth’s authority on business and healthcare through his education and works. His business theories in management branch from a human relations approach which accounts for much of his success in healthcare to express his methods. He states that healthcare institutions have shifted more like running a business and those young healthcare
During the delivery of these healthcare services, resources available are scarce while their demand gradually increases. Increase in demand is associated with the new and competing treatments and an aging population that need consistence health care services. With the limited resources tough choices have to be made in the delivery of receipts of healthcare. Making these choices in the healthcare system needs a clear understanding of the costs and benefits of delivering and providing such care. The process must be scientifically evaluated to ensure that the best decisions are made upon every step of the way (Getzen, 2007).
As the health care system struggles to provide access to care for all people in a cost-effective manner, calls for a much needed change. The aging population is sicker and needs more complex care requiring the need for the constant evolution of evidence-based practice. New technologies and advanced treatment options are more available will require continued research and implementation of evidence-based practice to provide quality
Medicaid reimbursements make it challenging to properly care for patients, as well as the investment in technology. As the continuing epidemiological process in the community is changing shape of mortality and morbidity, so chronic and non- communicable diseases and injuries is accountable for the growing part of the overall circumstance of ill health. The location of the clinic places many challenges on the demographics and epidemiological data. Hiring qualified staff and providing a diverse workplace is a major key to avoiding many challenges. Opening a satellite pediatric facility in Greenwood, Austria is a huge risk, the population is 9,569 people, and the population favors the elderly.
This step will be faced by strong resistant campaigns from physicians and medical organizations, in order for them to keep their high profit level and prestige as well as to protect the quality of medical educations. Conversely, expanding roles and responsibilities for other health care providers such as; nurse practitioners lead to decrease the demand of Physician services, and as a result, a shift in the demand curve might occur. To accomplish this move, a change of insurance policy requires encouraging people to use these services and help to decrease the demand of physician’s
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.
