Argument for Change Stacy Powell Kaplan University College Composition II Argument for Change "Rules in the healthcare setting are very important to ensure proper care of the people being treated there by the healthcare staff responsible for their well being while they are being treated. " Some people would argue that some of the rules set in a healthcare facility are ridiculous and refuse to follow them. Such as cell phone use or taking excessive smoking breaks or longer breaks than assigned. These rules are set to ensure the safety of the patients that live there. If someone is on their phone they tend to ignore call lights or other duties they are supposed to attend to.
1. COMPUTERIZED PHYSICIAN ORDER ENTRY DERRICA WRIGHT HCIS/255C Computerized physician order entry is a process of electronic entry of medical practitioner instructions for the treatment of patients (particularly hospitalized patients) under his or her care. These orders are communicated over a computer network to the medical staff or to the department’s pharmacy, laboratory, or radiology responsible for fulfilling the order. CPOE decreases delay in order completion, reduces errors related to handwriting or transcription, allows order entry at the point of care or off-site, provides error-checking for duplicate or incorrect doses or tests, and simplifies inventory and posting of charges. CPOE is a form of patient management software.
It’s said that Doctors using the computer to input data then interviewing the patient will cause them to hasten their pace and not read a true diagnosis for proper treatment. In other instances, EMR’s according to patients can be falsified information being stated. Physicians tend to put check off on things that they haven’t completed. EMR’s aren’t intended to omit incorrect information unless corrected by staff. A way for patients to protect themselves and to obtain the upmost care need they should request a copy of their medical records and tests; go over medication intake directions and its residual side effects.
The registrars responsibility to take all the patients information and enter it into the computer system, which includes the insurance information. It is also the responsibility to review the paperwork and have the patient or the parent to sign the various forms and to deliver them their bill of rights in which every patient receives upon coming into the hospital. There are barriers that may impede effective interaction among the personnel staff. There is a great disconnect Barriers that are available both internally and externally can hinder interactions amongst hospital personnel. Internal barriers are the culture of the hospital itself by supporting and atmosphere where short cuts and work around in order to complete tasks more quickly.
The medical coder will need to make sure that codes are not being unbundled and the global period pertains to surgical procedures. Next the coder would need to compare the providers evaluation and management codes with the national average. When this is done patterns of fraud may be able to be seen. Using modifiers correctly is also a part of the compliance strategy. Modifiers help with duplicate billing and unbundling of codes.
The care assistant may also hold the cup or glass for the service user as a precaution against spills or dropping the glass/ cup. This falls into the moving and handling principle. A(iv) As there is a care plan in place for the service user, the nurse on the day trip with the residents should know that service user C is a type two diabetic and should have the necessary tablets and medication that this service user needs. If the nurse did not read the care plan for this person and this scenario were to happen, this could prove to be dangerous and stressful. By following the care plan the nurse was able to know that she needed a sugary drink with her and that the service user had taken her tablets before the trip began.
Unfortunately the disease is a chronic illness that just ends up getting worse as time progresses. Some people end up with failure so severe that none of the treatments work and surgery or even a heart transplant is their only option.

I had already gained consent from patient A for myself and the nurse to give a bed bath in accordance with the NMC code of conduct (NMC, 2008) and following this I went to collect the correct equipment to perform the task. As patient A had Clostridium Difficile they needed to be isolation nursed. We isolate nurse to “prevent the risk of spreading germs to other patients and staff” (NHS, 2010). Outside of the side room there were red aprons and gloves which needed to be put on before entering. Before entering the side room, it is essential to collect all equipment to avoid leaving the room unnecessarily.
In the given case study, for instance, future provision of moderate sedation and additional backup must remain a mandatory exercise. Second, involves gathering of data and available evidence as a means of highlighting the occurrence of events, a behavior, or even condition (Clark &Taplin, 2012). According to most hospital regulations and ethics, when a patient begins to exhibit complications, it is upon the nurse and the ED physician to note the symptoms and offer appropriate treatment. Further examination of this scenario reveals a number of hazards/errors, i.e., shortage of qualified nurses, unfamiliar with appropriate medication dosages, the current procedure for conscious sedation was not followed, and the most fundamental hazard is the inability of the staff to prioritize and inform the administration (Nursing Supervisor) of the situation in the ED. The emergency department still failed to abide by medical ethics of practice.
Doctors who lack proper training or those who have impairment problems tend to believe that their patients are honest about issues concerning prescriptions. These may include certain issues such as losing prescriptions, or early refills. This, however, only happens when the doctor fails to identify a drug abuse problem in the patient. Another ethical dilemma in the same field occurs when doctors do not disclose full patient history in the medical file of the patient. This may cause other doctors to prescribe the wrong drug thus putting the life of the patient at risk, either due to possible
